ABAP CDS to Composite Provider - Data flow options.

4724 Views

Hi All,

Our current architecture is S4--> BW4HANA --> SAP Analytics Cloud

We would need to consume ABAP CDS views in BW4HANA and were looking at some of the options.

1. ABAP CDS --> Open ODS --> Composite Provider

2 . ABAP CDS --> BW Datasource --> aDSO --> Composite Provider

My questions are:

a. Is Option #1 supported? I could not find any reference to Open ODS connecting to S4 views but technically, I guess it should be possible- right?

b. Are there any limitations in Option #1?

c. Between Option #1 and #2 (if both work without any limitations), would the deciding factor be a tradeoff between performance and data footprint in BW?

d. From what I understand, SAC would require a BW Query on top of this Composite provider for data access. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance.
