1. What are the extractor types?
• Application Specific
o BW Content FI, HR, CO, SAP CRM, LO Cockpit
o Customer-Generated Extractors LIS, FI-SL, CO-PA
• Cross Application (Generic Extractors)
o DB View, InfoSet, Function Module
Generic
2. What are the steps involved in LO Extraction?
• The steps are:
o RSA5 Select the DataSources
o LBWE Maintain DataSources and Activate Extract Structures
o LBWG Delete Setup Tables
o 0LI*BW Setup tables
o RSA3 Check extraction and the data in Setup tables
o LBWQ Check the extraction queue
10
o LBWF Log for LO Extract Structures
o RSA7 BW Delta Queue Monitor
3. How to create a connection with LIS InfoStructures?
• LBW0 Connecting LIS InfoStructures to BW
4. What is the difference between ODS and InfoCube and MultiProvider?
• ODS: Provides granular data, allows overwrite and data is in transparent tables, ideal for drilldown and
RRI.
• CUBE: Follows the star schema, we can only append data, ideal for primary reporting.
• MultiProvider: Does not have physical data. It allows to access data from different InfoProviders (Cube,
ODS, InfoObject). It is also preferred for reporting.
11
12
12. What is compression?
• It is a process used to delete the Request IDs and this saves space.
13. What is Rollup?
• This is used to load new DataPackages (requests) into the InfoCube aggregates. If we have not
performed a rollup then the new InfoCube data will not be available while reporting on the aggregate.
14. What is table partitioning and what are the benefits of partitioning in an InfoCube?
• It is the method of dividing a table which would enable a quick reference. SAP uses fact file partitioning
to improve performance. We can partition only at 0CALMONTH or 0FISCPER. Table partitioning helps to
run the report faster as data is stored in the relevant partitions. Also table maintenance becomes easier.
Oracle, Informix, IBM DB2/390 supports table partitioning while SAP DB, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM
DB2/400 do not support table portioning.
15. How many extra partitions are created and why?
• Two partitions are created for date before the begin date and after the end date.
13
17. How would you optimize the dimensions?
• We should define as many dimensions as possible and we have to take care that no single dimension
crosses more than 20% of the fact table size.
19. Can an InfoObject be an InfoProvider, how and why?
• Yes, when we want to report on Characteristics or Master Data. We have to right click on the InfoArea
and select “Insert characteristic as data target”. For example, we can make 0CUSTOMER as an
InfoProvider and report on it.
20. What is Open Hub Service?
• The Open Hub Service enables us to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external Data Marts,
analytical applications, and other applications. We can ensure controlled distribution using several
systems. The central object for exporting data is the InfoSpoke. We can define the source and the target
object for the data. BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data
becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system.
21. How do you transform Open Hub Data?
• Using BADI we can transform Open Hub Data according to the destination requirement.
22. What is ODS?
• Operational DataSource is used for detailed storage of data. We can overwrite data in the ODS. The
data is stored in transparent tables.
23. What are BW Statistics and what is its use?
• They are group of Business Content InfoCubes which are used to measure performance for Query and
Load Monitoring. It also shows the usage of aggregates, OLAP and Warehouse management.
14
25. What are the delta options available when you load from flat file?
• The 3 options for Delta Management with Flat Files:
o Full Upload
o New Status for Changed records (ODS Object only)
o Additive Delta (ODS Object & InfoCube)

18. What is the interface provided by SAP BW for extracting data and metadata from external
157
a. systems?
i. SAP BW provides open interfaces called Staging BAPI’s to connect to various ETL
ii. tools to extract data.
19. Does SAP BW provide additional interface for ETL tools to create metadata in the SAP
a. BW system?
i. Yes.
20. What type of source system is used for data transfer with third party ETL tools?

2. When does the use of ETL tool is advisable?
When large volumes of data is to be transferred is to be transferred from external systems which are of various
types(heterogenous sources) and which requires complex transformation/refining logic before it cab be loaded into
BW.
3. What is the purpose of Data Mart interface?
To transfer data between different BW systems or to transfer data between different
targets in the same BW system.
4. What are the different Datamart architecture possible for a SAP BW system?
1. Replication Architecture.

5. Define and Describe the above Data mart architecture?
Replication Architecture ( Inside Out)
Aggregation Architecture (Outside in)
Steps involved in the Data Mart interface to transfer data from one source system to another.
1. Connect the Source SAP BW system to the target SAP BW system using RFC
Connection.
2. Create an Export data source in the Source BW system.

4. Assign the export data source to an infosource.
5. Maintain and activate Transfer and Update rules.
6. Create and schedule an infopackage to extract data from the source system using the export data
source generated.
6. How are the export data source created for the follwing data targets/infoproviders?
For ODS it is automatically created when the ODS is defined.
For Basic Cube using the context menu export datasource is generated.
For Characteristic info objects export datasource is created using the context Menu.

158
Extract Structures.
8. What are the data targets in the source system for which delta extraction is possible?
Basic cubes.
ODS objects.
9. Describe how Myself system data mart interface works?
Here also export data source is generated for the source data target. The system by
Default generates an infosource with the same name and transfer rules. There is no need
to replicate the data source here as it is part of the same system. Update rules can then
be created for the target data target and transfer of data can be initialized.
10. What is the purpose of Open Hub service?
As a SAP BW component, Open Hub service provides the framework for scheduled and monitored extraction of
consolidated and integrated data from SAP BW and controlled distribution or staging of this data to external systems
and applications.
What are the possible data sources in an Open hub service?
Basic cubes, ODS Objects and Characteristic infoobjects (attributes/texts).
11. What are the possible data targets in an open hub service?
DB tables or flat files of .CSV type. Both are generated in the same BW system. Flat
files can be generated in both application servers or local directory.
12. Is delta extraction possible in open hub service?
Yes and is possible only if Basic cube or ODS objects are used as datasources.
13. How is open hub extraction automated?
By using Process Chains.
14. Is transformation of data possible in open hub service?
Yes transformation of extracted data is possible before it is written to the distribution
targets. This can be accomplished using the standard BADI OPENHUB_TRANSFORM.
15. What is the key component/object in an Open Hub service?
