Data Modeling: Extended Star Schema & Aggregates

The document discusses extraction of data from SAP systems into SAP BW. It covers various topics: 1. Extraction overview and how SAP provides standard extractors for most applications. 2. Extraction methods including using generic extractors, extractors based on other data sources, and extractors for logistics information systems (LIS) and logistics order management (LO). 3. Benefits of the new LO extraction approach over traditional LIS extraction, including improved performance, reduced data volumes, and better support for logistics solutions.

Extraction Overview

SAP provides extractors for almost all applications.


These extractors are programmed on a fixed basis
and shipped with Business Content.
Business Content is developed and enhanced with
every new BW Release.

Extraction Overview

In view of increasing demand from the customers,


SAP has designed the reporting facility in certain
parts of the R/3 System in such a way that it can be
easily customized.
Information systems were developed in the R/3
System that can be adapted individually to the
customer's requirements.
In view of the above, BW must be able to process
this data, with the result that it must be possible to
define generic extractors in certain applications.
These applications are the Logistics Information
System, profitability analysis and Special Ledger.

Extraction Overview

Data in R/3 tables that are supplied by SAP


programs but cannot be made available to the
Business Information Warehouse with Business
Content.
The tool for generic data extraction can be used
here to generate an extractor for all applications. By
assigning a database view or transparent database
table, you can transfer data to BW without having to
write your own programs. Furthermore, the generic
extractor can also be used by SAP Query to retrieve
data.

Extraction Overview
Generic Data Extraction

The tools for generic data extraction are launched


with the transaction RSO2.
You can use this transaction to create
DataSources for both transaction and master data,
and for texts.
LIS Data Flow

The LIS data flow can be described as follows:


Operative transaction data (for example sales
orders, billing documents) is stored in application
data tables (e.g. VBAK/VBAP for sales orders).
When the data is updated in LIS, the information is
transferred from an operative document to
'communication structures' (e.g. MCVBAK,
MCVBAP).
This information is then written from the
communication structures to the corresponding
information structures using update rules.
LIS Data Flow
Set up LIS Environment

Before LIS info structures can be used as source


tables, you have to define several settings.
First, you have to configure the LIS environment
for the relevant info structures
Alternatively, you can use the transaction SBIW in
R/3 or start the report RMCSBIWC.
Generating DataSource for an InfoStructure - LIS

Once the LIS environment has been configured, the


structure 'S5nnBIWS' is generated to meet the
requirements of BW and is used as an extraction
structure.
Two more tables are also generated for delta updates
A DataSource must be generated so that the info
structures in the OLTP System can be used as
source tables for the BW.
Replicate the DataSources in the BW system.
Other steps are as that for the BC

LO Extraction: Customizing Cockpit

The Logistics Customizing Cockpit is the central


administration tool for extract structures, which you
use to transfer Logistics transaction data of the tool
from OLTP into BW. The extract structures are filled
with the communication structures of the individual
Logistics applications.
The Cockpit contains the following functionality, as
specified in the procedure sequence:
Maintaining extract structures
Maintaining DataSources
Activating the update
Controlling V3 update

Benefits of LO over LIS

Performance &
Volume Usability

Benefits

Logistics Solution No LIS-


Functionality
Benefits (1) : Performance & Volume

Detailed Extraction
Extraction can be deactivated (e.g. Schedule Line Data)
leads to leaner extractors with less volume

Document Changes
only BW-relevant data changes will be updated
(less upload volume)

LIS-Tables are not updated


reduced data volume due to avoided redundancy

Update with Batch-Process (V3)


no load on daily business
Benefits (2) : Usability

No LIS-Functionality
no LIS-Know How necessary

Functional Enhancements
easy to be done

LO Extraction Cockpit:
central, uniform maintenance tool
for logistics applications
Benefits (3) : Others

No (Design-)Problems with transfer-structures


no technical restrictions as in LIS
No Delta-Tables (SnnnBIW1/-2)
no double update, no double Data-Storage
