Hi, I am working on SAP BI for past 3 years .Now we have new project which we have to work on SAP BODS.I am very new to BODS.I googled and came to knew that SAP BODS is also an ETL tool as SAP BI. Now my question is both are ETL tools. Can anyone tell me the difference between BW and BODS tool.

Hi Vinayaka,

I think SAP BI is not an  ETL tool. BI is using for Extracting, modeling and Reporting.

Coming to BODS the scenario is Different.  BODS is a completely using for Extraction Transformation and Loading at the same time also we can maintain data quality. BODS is a single Platform for Extraction Transformation, Maintaining the DATA QUALITY, Testing, and loading the data to target. We Can not do the reporting using BODS.
