The reason for this is because of Operational Data Provisioning. The datasources are maintained in ECC and have to be just activated in ECC. In addition to this, you might also notice that the data sources are absent from both the add-ons. This also allows SAP to make their content delivery process more streamlined by not requiring all the objects to be packaged again and any new data flow for existing content would require updates only to the Content Add-On and the BASIS Add-on can remain untouched. SAP BW/4HANA Content Add-On (BW4CONT): SAP HANA optimized BW content (aDSOs, Composite Providers), Infosources and transformations. SAP BW/4HANA Content BASIS Add-On (BW4CONTB): contains Infoareas, Application components, InfoObjects, Variables, Conversion exits and Master data read classes. The new structure consists of 2 separate add-ons This made it a very tedious process and a lot of fat finger issues happened when content was overwritten or missed out making for a painful installation and transport collection process. This was required because whenever anyone who was installing Business content, had to be very careful not to overwrite any existing objects and making sure that any new infoobjects required were installed. As part of this, the Business content that is delivered by SAP is split into 2 components one being a Base add-on and the other being the component add-on.
#SAP ECC 7.0 INSTALL#
As part of this, the existing SAP BW Business content was rewritten for the new EDW reference architecture which was LSA+.Īlong with this, requests from customers for improving the install experience were also incorporated and the Business content is even more easier to install. With BW/4HANA the need for revamping this was required because of the data virtualization that was possible with HANA. The architecture in force was the Layered Scalable Architecture (LSA) that most customers built their EDWs on. While doing so, there was also a need to reimagine the reference EDW architecture. Constantly refreshed by SAP based on how individual functions matureīW/4HANA is a completely new BW build that is built specifically for HANA and SAP has rewritten SAP BW to make it take advantage of all that HANA has to offer.Available as a reference to understand how the SAP ECC data model works.Allows for quick ETL realization with complete data flows and queries.News – Check out our most recent news, key announcements & Press releasesīusiness content has always been a pillar of strength when it comes to implementing SAP BW.Innovation Lab – The Innovation Lab is built with an aim to create market-ready BI & Analytic solutions.Careers – Explore intellectually rewarding careers in the field of Business Intelligence & Analytics.Our Team – Meet our strong management team with hands-on experience in BI & Analytics.About Visual BI – We make the best in BI possible through our passion and commitment to innovation.Events – Check out events hosted and attended by Visual BI Solutions.Webinars – Get latest updates on our webinar schedules & register to learn from our experts.Videos – Handpicked video resources showcasing you the latest BI trends and technologies.Case Studies – A growing collection of more than 50+ case studies exhibiting our customers’ success.Blogs – Get your inside scoop into our take on the latest developments in BI & Analytics.Data Science & ML – Unlock endless possibilities with an optimum mix of Data Science and Machine learning.Modern BI & Analytics – Experience the power of data with modern visualization techniques.Strategy & Architecture – Drive successful outcomes with the right data strategy and architecture.Data Architecture & Engineering – Build a modern data foundation that supports your business.Application Platform (Ex: ABAB & Java engine) > Here it works as Base for all other SAP applications or modules,e.g Base for ECC,SRM,CRM and SCM.ĮCC is an application component, which will work on with the help of this Application/Technology Platfrom – or we can say Netweaver ,It requres base at the bottom (NW).ECC6 is called as Enterprise Core component, which has basic modules of ERP like (FI, CO, MM and So on) These 3 usages are considered as Pure Netweaver systems as BW ,PI or PortalĤ.
