Hello all,
I have some confusion and need your expertise around embedded BW and cross system reporting.
First let me tell you my situation.
We have CRM on HANA, ECC on HANA and SCM on HANA. My client is not interested in SAP BW but would like to do cross system reporting.
Couple of options I have presented are using the 2 schemas on 1 appliance scenario with SAP HANA Live or using the Smart Data Access can make the cross system reporting possible.
However I want to also explore the embedded BW option. Lets say I want to cross report on SCM and ECC data which are both powered by 2 separate HANA instances.
1) Can I use the embedded BW from SCM and using DXC create an IMDSO in my SAP ECC on HANA system ? How will the deltas be managed as the BW extractors come with certain delta modes ?
2) I am assuming that this IMDSO is not based just for SAP BW on HANA ?
3) Will the data be stored in memory on a constant basis in the IMDSO in my ECC on HANA?
4) Can I load embedded BW extractor content & Tables from the SAP SCM on HANA system using BODS to do ETL (applying logic / transformation/enrichment) and then load into SAP ECC on HANA ? And can I land this data on a table in ECC ?
Can BODS handle deltas in this case like it does for extractors between ECC and BWoH ?
I am trying multiple solutions for cross system reporting without a data warehouse .
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Zain
