SAP S/4HANA Cloud Data Integration – Overview
Data integration basics in SAP S/4HANA Cloud
What is data integration?
Data integration involves combining data residing in different
sources and providing users with a unified view of them –
Wikipedia Maurizio Lenzerini (2002).
"Data Integration: A Theoretical Perspective" (PDF). PODS 2002.
pp. 233-246.
What is the framework?
Service API (S-API) Interface vs. Operational Data Provisioning
(ODP)
How?

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Data Integration – Overview
Virtual data models and ABAP Core Data Services
▪ #Basic – Views that form the core
data basis without data redundancies
▪ #Composite – Views that provide data
derived and/or composed from basic
views
▪ #Consumption – Views that service
for specific application purposes and
may be defined based on public
interface
▪ #Dimension – Views representing master data
▪ #Fact – Represents transactional data (center of star schema). Usually, it contains the measures. Typically,
these views are necessary for replication.
▪ #Cube – Represents factual data, but #CUBE does not have to be without redundancy. This means joins
with master data are possible. Queries are usually built on top of #CUBE.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Data Integration – Overview
At Design Time
▪ ABAP CDS views are enabled as outbound data interface via
the annotation @Analytics: { dataExtraction.enabled: true }
▪ Relevant metadata of these ABAP CDS views is exposed to
target / consumer application
▪ The related business object level structure is the entry point
for data persistency in target
At Runtime
▪ Data of these ABAP CDS views are selected via internal SQL
view (Open SQL) and transferred / exposed via the
operational data provisioning interface (ODP)
▪ Near real-time (1 min interval) delta data transfer based on
change timestamp in view or change data capture (CDC)
service integrated with application logic

CDS view extraction concepts
More information about CDS deltabased extraction in SAP Data
Intelligence (Link)
▪ Two ways for delta extraction
− Generic timestamp / Date-based
delta:
• Requires date/time information
being available in the relevant
application tables
• Available since S/4HANA 1809
on-premise
− Change data capture (CDC) delta:
• Captures changes to the
application tables based on
database triggers
• Enables the ODP framework to
just provision these newly
created/changed/deleted records
to the consumers

Key takeaways
▪ Extraction of data from SAP S/4HANA Cloud utilizes
the ABAP Core Data Services using the operational
data provisioning framework
▪ ABAP CDS views are enabled as outbound data
interface via the annotation @Analytics:
{ dataExtraction.enabled: true
▪ SAP Fiori View Browser app is the tool to use in
order to understand if an ABAP CDS view is
extraction-enabled
▪ SAP API Business Hub is another resource to find
out which ABAP CDS views are extraction-enabled
▪ To request ABAP CDS views for extraction, use the
Customer Influence portal

Self-Service Data
Modeling & Analytics
Empower business users with self-service, top-down-driven analytics in an IT
governed environment via spaces. Instant access to business applications via
pre-built adapters to integrate any type of data from any source, SAP and nonSAP data sources, on-prem and in the cloud.
Enabling Data
Democratization
Accelerate time-to-insight via rapid onboarding of resources. Easy data
consumption due to the abstraction of physical data sources into business
semantics. Leverage data catalog and pre-built business content (industry-data
models, KPIs) and deliver enterprise-wide collaboration via space concept to
support end-to-end decision-making.
End-to-End Data
Warehousing
Leverage existing SQL skills, SAP IDEs, open-source and/or in-built tooling for
data integration, governance, harmonization and Big Data historization to provide
a consolidated view across the enterprise. Extract maximum investment from
existing on-prem investments via hybrid scenarios e.g. SAP HANA for SQL DW,
SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA etc.

•
SAP Data Warehouse Cloud unleashes your data-driven
business by connecting your data with business context,
unlocking data insights, and accelerating outcomes with
no complexity
•
In order to integrate SAP S/4HANA to SAP Data Warehouse
Cloud, you need to create a communication system,
