and higher (suggested)

Availability in BW7.4 SP08 and SP09, Note 2070577

With the current SAP BW Release 7.40 a new way of modeling the BW objects was introduced with the SAP BW modeling tools. Now with the Release SAP BW 7.40 SR2 (based on SPS08) it is also possible to model a new central object called advanced data store objects (aDSO). To enable the Backend and Frontend functionality there are certain steps necessary to enable the end to end usage. This SAP First Guidance Document consolidates all these activities from an implementation perspective. The Document is work in progress and not intended to be exhaustive, but it contains everything to successfully implement the BW-MT together with BW-aDSO.

1. Introduction

With SAP BW 7.40 a lot of new functionality is introduced. The Release 7.40 also introduces new areas

which are made exclusively for the usage of SAP BW together with the SAP HANA database.

For details of the complete overview of the possibilities of SAP BW 7.40 RS2 (based on SPS08) see the

Document in the SCN - Overview SAP BW 7.4 SR2 (based on SPS08) and further Roadmap and the Blog -

SAP BW? - Three things to know...

1.1 SAP BW Modeling Tools (BW-MT)

1.2 Eclipse based query generation with BW-MT


April 2015 4

1.3 SAP BW advanced data store object (BW-aDSO)


April 2015 5

Details of the scope for the advanced DSO (and BW7.4 SP08 in general) can be found here:

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-58173 => see "Release of SAP BW 7.4 SP8" page 11 et seq.

See the Blog from Klaus Nagel - The advanced DataStoreObject renovating BWs persistency layer

SAP BW 7.4 on SAP HANA / the In-Memory Data Fabric


April 2015 6

2. Implementation

2.1 Backend Upgrade Considerations Overall Presentation for the Upgrade - Upgrade to SAP Business Warehouse 7.40

Note 1751237 - Add. Info about the update/upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 7.4 (incl. SPs and SRs)

2.1.1 From 7.40 SP07 to SP08 (SR2) As the SAP BW 7.40 SP08 is as well a feature pack, the Implementation of the SP has to be done with

the SUM/DMO tool. Either the latest Version of SP11 or the SP12 is recommended here.

For details in creation of the needed stack.xml see the SAP First Guidance Document -

SAP First Guidance - SEM/BW Modelling in SolMan 7.1 with MOPZ

For details in the SUM/DMO procedure see the SAP First Guidance Document -

SAP First Guidance - Migration BW on HANA using the DMO option in SUM

2.1.2 From 7.40 SP07 to SP09 or higher See the recommendations from Chapter 2.1.1

Additional Notes to consider:

Note 2086899 - Upgrade Phase MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG creates error messages

Note 2077976 - Table pool deletion incorrectly handled

Before you start the Upgrade with the SUM tool, move the already successful imported SAP Notes with

the transaction SNOTE from In Process to the Section Done.


April 2015 7

After the technical Upgrade is finished and before you start re-implementing the existing SAP Notes use

the mass functionality in the transaction SPAU to reset all obsolete SAP Notes first.

2.1.3 From 7.40 SP08 (SR2) to SP09 or higher Even that the SP can be applied with the ABAP SPAM transaction, the usage of the SUM tool is

recommended, as the SPAU handling and performance of the runtime is improved compare to the SPAM.

See the recommendations from Chapter 2.1.1

2.1.4 Sequence of the Backend Implementation SP08/09 1. Technical Upgrade to 7.40 SP08/09 as described above

2. Implement Corrections with high priority either for SP08 , SP09 or higher

3. Implement SAP Notes for NCUM (Non-Cumulative), HCPR (HANA Composite Provider), WSP (BW

Workspaces) Enhancements and problem solutions, External SAP HANA view, Open ODS view

either for SP08 or SP09

4. Implement the BW-MT SAP Notes either for SP08 , SP09 or higher

5. Implement the BW-aDSO SAP Notes either for SP08, SP09 or higher

6. Test the BW-aDSO scenario with the current BW-MT frontend

2.1.5 From 7.40 SP10 onwards (recommended) Starting with SAP BW 7.40 SP10 which will be released in Q1/2015 makes the described procedure for the

ABAP Backend in Chapter 2.1.4 almost obsolete.

If you want to start with the usage of the advanced DSO and the Query Generation with the BW modeling

tools, this would be the most eruption free option at all.
