Establish Connection IBP to BW/4HANA and data replication steps from IBP to BW/4HANA.

[viswanath_reddy10]

Hi Team,

We want to know how the connection should establish from IBP to BW/4HANA.

What kind of connection and how the data will replicate from IBP to BW/4HANA.

If we go APO system we have datasource concept when APO do planning..from datasource we use to replicate into BW system with the RFC connection, But IBP is new hana db system we are not getting help/idea how to do.

Kindly help me to send step by step approach.

Thanks,

Viswanatha

Hi,

SAP B/4HANA provides a multitude of innovations in various areas. One of the focus areas is extended and simplified ways to integrate non-ABAP typically non-SAP data structures as well as ABAP SAP systems data structures into SAP BW.

Loading and persisting data from on-premise sources as well as Cloud Applications and one of the key functionalities of an Enterprise Datawarehouse (EDW).

Loading and persisting data from Cloud Applications in an SAP B/4HANA data warehouse are possible in many ways.

To enable such scenarios SAP B/4HANA 2.0 provides new capabilities in the datastore objects to push data in the inbound table of datastore object using a tool such as Data Services or via SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) by PUSH.

These API for pushing data to Datastore objects is not released for third-party tools.

This property can be used for all types of standard datastore object and staging datastore object, but not together with inventory enabled and planning enabled datastore objects.

It is possible to use RFC ot http data to load into the datastore object. There are two possibilities.

• Sending data without a request. For every call, a new internal request is opened.
• Sending data with the request. The following sequence is used to do this. Open Request, n times Send Data (with request and package), Close Request.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration and SAP NetWeaver Process Integration equal or higher SAP NetWeaver 7.50 Process Integration SP15 (SAP Note 2757524) can use this http (REST) interface for data integration to SAP BW/4HANA 2.0.

Hi,

I dont have a BW/4HANA system, but weve worked with traditional BW layer creating a webservice enabled datasource target in BW.

Highlevel : CPI (pulling from IBP) will be writing to a PSA in BW via webservice and then you can move the data to your DSO.

Following guides and sap help docs should be helpful to get you started.

https://blogs.sap.com/2014/01/17/configure-a-webservice-datasource-in-bw/ ( I assume a lot of the steps here have better integration now with SAP data services based on BW4HANA )

Hi,

You are correct.

Refer to the following document to get know the integration process with SAP cloud systems.

I suggest creating a support incident to SAP for more inputs.

Hi Lingaiah,

Thank for the mail.

But my requirement is to get the data from SAP IBP to SAP BW/4HANA these system are sitting on Cloud.

As per diagram we can consider HANA SDI option to get the data.

Which is marked below. Kindly review and update me if anything incorrect.
