Net weaver BW7.3 Performance & Scalability

DSO Semantic Partitioning
1)DSOs & Info cubes can be semantically partitioned 2) You can Generate and Manage Semantically Partitioned Data Models with minimal effort 3) DTPs and Process chains are generated automatically

DSO Semantic Partitioning

Step1- Define DSO Property: A wizard guides you through the steps for creating an SPO. First, define the property in standard Data Store objects & Choose "Maintain Partitions".

Step2 Maintain Partitions - specify the characteristics that you want to use as partitioning criteria. You can select up to 5 characteristics. For this example, select "0REGION". The compounded Info Object "0COUNTRY" is automatically included in the selection
10

Step3 Create DTP Templates
11

Step4 Generate DTPs
12

Step5 Define Business Logic
13

Step6 PCs generated automatically
14

Data Store objects New Features
Partitioning of DSO is supported Remodeling for Data Store objects Activation is changed from single lookups to mass lookup of active table. Lookup is performance optimized by using mass read once per data package instead of record by record. Performance gain for the improved activation (lab results) Avg. 20 40% improvement, Max. improvement measured 2.5x faster Varies by data profile (# inserts/updates/deletes) and database platform
New rule-type for Transformations: Read from Data Store

Replaces custom ABAP code for lookups by efficient built-in lookup mechanism Activation using database specific SQL commands on mass data
Improvement measured (lab results): factor 2 3 times faster compared to standard activation
15

Accelerated Master Data Loads
Load is changed from single lookups to mass lookup of master data table Runtime option New records only omits lookups during activation speeds up initial loads, e.g. requests which contains only new data Accelerated SID Handling by using an internal mass processing (with customizable threshold) Use of navigational attributes as source fields in the transformation avoids additional overhead for lookups Completely reengineered and performance optimized New capabilities like search-modes for the usage check, simulation-mode etc.
16

New Hierarchy Framework
Limitations of 3.x Hierarchy: 1. Hierarchy Data Sources were available only for flat file and SAP source systems 2.Second you could not take full advantage of the new data flow, even some old data flow features 3.Third, monitoring was often unclear because the framework was not optimal for segments. Added features in 7.3 - Hierarchies: 1. First you are able to use any BW object as source for a hierarchy, you are not limited to a Data Source for hierarchies 2. you are able to use all features of a transformation, for example start, end or expert routines. You are not limited as you were in the 3.x data flow.

Graphical Top-Down Modeling
20

Inserting Objects and making connections
Non Persistent Objects
21

Redo your actions
22

Assigning Technical Names & Using Existing objects
Give the Names to the objects by using Change option in context menu You can use the Existing objects also, once we use existing objects, the background color changes to blue indicating that it is an existing object
23

Creating New objects in the Flow
Create the new objects by double clicking on the non-persistent object The Data Store object is selected as a Info cube template because it is connected to Info cube Create the Transformations and DTPs by double clicking the appropriate connections
24

Integrating Data Flows
Expand existing Data flow of the Info cube by choosing the menu entry Use data flow of object.
25

Defining the Multi provider
Double click on the Multi provider to open the Multi provider maintenance screen. Here the source objects are listed as they are already connected.
26

Connecting the Data sources
27

Data Flow Generation Wizard
You can generate the dataflow on either the Source system or Data source or from Info provider
28

Wizard Popup
It is no longer required to save the file only in CSV, you can save it in native XLS format
29

Defining File Parameters & File Attributes
30

Selecting the File & Info provider type
31

Field Assignment
32

Data Flow Copy Wizard
Scenario: We have already learned about a new tool which ease the work to create a BW Data flow. Now this tool is helpful when you need to create another dataflow which looks quite similar to the once you have already created. Only a target is different or data source is different or the source system is different or transformations are different.
Now if you want to copy the data flow, instead of Display Dataflow you need to use the option Copy Data flow.
33

Data Flow Copy Wizard - Continued..
System will ask you whether you want to collect also the process objects or only data model objects. The process objects are usually included in a process chain. As of now we will select no and proceed into the wizard
Useful information is displayed for every action you do here
34
:
Data Flow Copy Wizard - Defining Number of copies
For each object to be copied, you need to enter a new name. If you are going to create two copies at a time, you need to enter two new names for each object.
35

Data Flow Copy Wizard - Source system copy
With Use original, the original object will be included into the copied data flow. By this, you can Add a new load branch to the existing data target Create a new data source for the same source system Load the same data source from another source system
36

Data Flow Copy Wizard - Transformations copy
In the similar fashion you can copy the transformations also through your wizard
37

Data Flow Copy Wizard - Using the Template
38

Data Flow Copy Wizard - Using the Template
39

Data Flow Migration Tool This tool will automatically migrate your Data flows from 3.x to 7.x versions with minimal manual effort
Workbench like UI for selecting data flows and objects to be migrated

Transfer rules & Update rules will be copied to Transformations In the Initial Info package data load option will be automatically changed to Only PSA as PSA is mandatory in 7.x Info packages are converted to DTP s Migration can be repeated/reversed as often as needed
40
Net weaver BW7.3 Simplified configuration & Operation

Enhanced Process chain Monitoring
41

Enhanced Process chain Monitoring ..Continued..
Now you are able to search the process chains by name directly in the workbench
you could notice that the process chains are arranged hierarchal by components(Application Area) Chains itself have a Hierarchical structure displaying the meta chain sub chain relation ship ABAP program for controlled suspension and re-starting of all process chains and RDA daemons during restart of the application server (RS_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN)
42
:
You can select all your chains under select include and keep monitoring.
43

44

When you click on the Red(Failed) chain, the system is extracting the error messages From the single processes of the failed process chain run and directly displays them with the corresponding long text.
45

Time monitoring is helpful in checking the runtime or start, delay of a process chain Runtime calculations are buffered in a extra table. When you click on the Red button of the Runtime you can do some analysis.
46

47

48

You can click on Display process in above screen and check which process is taking What time to run.
49

Delay button indicates that there is a delay in triggering of the process chain. In the above screen, it shows that the chain has been delayed to schedule by 6 days. Previously the chain was executing daily but because of some scheduling changes, the chain is executing now weekly
50

Wizard based System Configuration Ensuring correct and smooth installation and initial Technical configuration for the Set-up of a BW- System ABAP and Java stack configurations are possible
New Monitors in BW Administration Cockpit Database usage monitor with in SAP Net weaver BW Display the usage of data space (e.g. in MB by Info provider) Enhanced usability through X Celsius Integration of Monitors
Enhancements to Technical Content
OLAP Cache and SAP Net weaver BW Accelerator usage

RDA Monitor: Displays the status of the usage Integration of Technical content to solution Manager
51
Net weaver BW7.3 Additional Features

Enhanced Delta Functionalities
Generic Delta functionalities for other types of data sources

Possibility to derive a generic delta for DB Connect, UD Connect, flat file and web services. Automatic switch of Info package modes from Init to Delta load There is no need to define init and delta info packages anymore. If a Delta enable info package is started for the first time, it is executed as an initial load and then the later load is automatically changed to delta.
52

Additional Flexibility in Data flow modeling
Hierarchies Integration of Hierarchies into Process flow(DTP, Transformation) Loading Hierarchies from flat file using the new data source and Transformation technology Data Transfer process (DTP)
Data Transfer process supports data extraction from Multi providers

Option to only load the last request from a given source(available for full load DTPs)
Open Hub service Data can be exported into XML format Possibility to change the format and length of BW data for export Hierarchy extraction supported by Open Hub
Transformation Semantic grouping possible in transformation (in addition to DTPs) Possibility to select the info objects (fields) by user in start and end routines. Navigational attributes of info cubes/Data Store objects can be used as source fields in the Transformations and as filter options in the DTP
53

Before Export check Enhanced consistency check at the end of the releasing the transport including checks on dependent objects which are not directly included in the transport request to prevent import errors in the target system (due to missing metadata objects)
Mass change function for authorizations Option to select Multiple analysis authorization objects and do insert, copy, delete rows of value authorizations & hierarchy authorizations in the work list at the same time Adding users to Multiple Analysis Authorizations
Version Management for Metadata objects Manage historic versions of metadata (display, create, restore, compare, delete) Delete contents of table holding statistics Data RSDDSTAT_DATA_DELETE program is used to delete the contents of the statistics table RSDDSTATWHM which is growing over time with date filters
54

MDX Statements
BW7.3 offers with the query language MDX an Open, generic interface New tool (transaction: MDXTEST) with powerful debugging and editing functions. Accelerated performance tuning and testing of MDX statements generated by SAP BO BI clients Create MDX statements independently with full access to the metadata objects of the underlying info cube Drag and drop of MDX functions in editor
Enhanced Real-Time Data Acquisition Possibility to load master data with RDA
Enhanced error handling and scalability(daemon can handle more Data sources more efficiently)
