Multiple ECC Source for BW

354 Views

Hi all

I am looking for some suggestions as to a possible solution for a problem we are about to face. Currently, we are running BW from a single source ECC system. However, we now have 3 or so other countries who have BW reporting requirements. Each of these countries is running their own ECC system (I know, not ideal).

Across the countries, the current BW architecture will not accommodate data extraction from multiple ECC systems due to the lack of global uniqueness within the ECC Master Data.

We have considered the below options:

  1. Realign the ECC environment to incorporate globally Unique Master Data (compound keys to all relevant InfoObjects)
  2. Create a different BW system for each ECC environment, maintaining a one to one relationship
  3. Build a new BW environment, reworking the current solution to include only necessary objects
  4. Create ‘stand alone’ objects for each source system within the existing BW environment
  5. Create 2 areas within the existing BW environment on for JR and one for the rest of the world.
  6. Add 0SOURSYSTEM to all Master Data fields and InfoProviders within the existing BW environment.

Has anyone faced this problem before?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Ian
