SAP BW (Business Warehouse) Certification Training
SAP BW (Business Warehouse) Certification Training
A warm welcome to the SAP BW course by Uplatz.
SAP BW (Business Warehouse) is an end-to-end data warehousing solution from SAP with multiple features and functionality. The emerging requirements for storage and use of huge and important data has resulted in great demand for certified SAP BW professionals.
SAP BW is a data warehouse tool/application. In simple terms, it integrates data from different sources, transforms and consolidates, cleanse and stores data as well. It also includes data modeling, administration and staging area. The content-rich SAP BW sets a precedent for speed and ease of implementation and maintenance because it’s pre-configured with intelligence about a company’s business process, providing a faster return on information. SAP BW remains open to the different source systems and is known for its ease of introduction and maintenance.
SAP Netweaver Business Warehouse (SAP NetWeaver BW) is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing solution produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW (Business Information Warehouse), then abbreviated to SAP BW, but is now known as "SAP BI" at the end user level. In contrast, "BW" is still used to describe the underlying Data Warehouse Area and Accelerator components.
In simple words, SAP BW/BI is leading data warehousing and reporting tool which helps transforms raw data into information and business insights. SAP BW supports better business decision-making and can be called a decision support system (DSS). Though the term SAP business intelligence is sometimes used as a synonym for competitive intelligence, because they both support decision making, SAP BW (Business Warehouse) uses technologies, processes, and applications to analyze mostly internal, structured data and business processes while competitive intelligence gathers, analyzes and disseminates information with a topical focus on company competitors.
Organizations have different kinds of data such as finance, Human resource, customer, supplier data etc., which can be stored on different kinds of storage units such as DBMS, Excel sheets, SAP R/3 systems etc. Even the company's internal data is often distributed across many different systems and is not particularly well formatted. A Data Warehouse can help to organize the data. It brings together heterogeneous Data Sources which are mostly and differing in their details. Using BI Tools one can derive meaningful reports.
The demand from end user companies needing expertise in the integration of ERP data into corporate data warehouses is growing exponentially. Thus has resulted in great opportunities for certified SAP BW professionals in defining their career path.

Key Components of SAP BI System
Business Intelligence is a core component of SAP NetWeaver.
Data warehousing – This is mainly to Extract, Transform and Load data from Source systems.
BI platform – The BI platform layer contains BI services to support complex analysis tasks and functions. It contains the Analytic Engine, which processes the data requested through BEx analysis navigation. Its interface allows entry and manipulation of data as part of BI Integrated Planning. It also has special analysis tools such as the Analysis Process Designer (APD) and the Data Mining which provide analysts at your company with the tools to merge, mine, pre-process, store, and analyse data.
BI Suite – These tools helps in creating reports for analysis purpose. It contains the Business Explorer (BEx) which provides flexible reporting and analysis tools.
The following areas in the Business Explorer can be used for Data Analyses:
BEx Analyser (Microsoft Excel-based analysis tool with pivot-table-like features)
BEx Web Analyser (Web-based analysis tool with pivot-table-like features)
BEx Web Application Designer (customer-defined and SAP BI Content provided)
BEx Report Designer (highly formatted Web output)
SAP BI/BW Architecture
Database Server: Where data is physically stored.( ODS, PSA, InfoCube and metadata repository).
Application Server: The application server is based on the OLAP processor. It is used to retrieve data stored in the database server.
Presentation Server: Manages reporting and data access.
Data is extracted from the Source Systems.
Data is staged at the Persistent Storage Area(PSA). This holds Source like data.
Data is cleansed, loaded and stored in Data Store Object.
Data is viewed at multiple dimensions in the InfoCube.
Data is available by the OLAP processor to the Business Explorer to display data as per Analysis requirements of the Business.
Data can be made available to SAP/Non-SAP, Data Marts by the Open Hub Service (InfoSpoke).
