This book provides an essential foundation for successful data storage with SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW). You’ll benefit from step-by-step advice and instruction on all the most critical aspects of data modeling, beginning with the concept of data warehousing and the architecture of SAP BW.

Learn how to set up data modeling and manage master data and transactional data efficiently. A highly detailed sample scenario is used to clarify this complex procedure. The three fundamental topics―InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and SAP Business Content―are introduced consecutively and illustrated in detail with practical examples. The book describes all of their options, special characteristics, and key interdependencies. Finally, the robust appendices serve to provide you with additional help, and come complete with a comprehensive SAP BW glossary.
