Unix
Purchasing
A purchasing application runs on a legacy system based on an ORACLE database.

To analyze the data from the purchasing application, the data needs to be
loaded into the BW System (possibly installed on a different database, e.g. MS SQL-Server).
DB-Connect can be used to connect the DBMS of of the purchasing application and extract
data from tables or views.

SAP BW 3.0B
Table names and field names have to be in capital letters
Usage of views on top of tables is recommended
The SAP specific part of the database interface, the DBSL
(database shared library) for the source DBMS, has to be installed
on the application server. It can be downloaded from the SAP
Service Marketplace. It is licensed and delivered to customers
solely for use as part of the SAP BW.
The database specific DB-Client for the source DBMS has to be
installed on the application server. It has to be licensed by the
customer from the DB vendor and is delivered as part of the
database access license.

If your DB Connect
only supports ODBC and
is that much restricted
to a small number of
DB platforms,
how do you solve

Database Platforms that cannot be reached via DB Connect or
UD Connect can be connected via DataStage PlugIns very
easily.
In complex flat file scenarios thousands of flat files with
dynamic naming conventions collected via FTP Servers can
easily be consolidated and merged into single files or DB
Tables with very high performance guarantee

As ETL is a more conservative and

Batch oriented way to move data into
a SAP BW target - what about a more
message oriented, transactional based
way to feed SAP BW in the sense of
EAI?

the more mySAP ERP

SAP XI to communicate
with their partner
