11.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 11 11 Generating BW Meta Data from non-SAP Data Scenario: Importing non-SAP data requires additional manual data modeling in the Administrator Workbench. Solution: BW Load PACK 3.0 supports import of non-SAP meta data: including the creation of InfoObjects, InfoSources, InfoPackages and Source Systems. Users can now generate SAP BW Business Content from legacy meta data. Simply point at DataStage Table Definitions or Stage Column Lists and let the Load PACK create SAP BW objects ready for data loading.

12.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 12 12 Integrated Process Messaging Scenario: SAP BW 3.0 supports multiple data sources. It can be difficult to understand and diagnose data loading problems from non-SAP sources. Solution: BW Load PACK delivers process information on-demand to SAP BW InfoPackages. Users can now see the DataStage job log and load statistics in the SAP BW InfoPackage monitor.

13.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 13 13 Load PACK ‘Pushes’ Data into SAP BW Scenario: Companies have change data triggers and schedulers in their non-SAP systems that invoke DataStage, but SAP BW will only accept data loads as ‘pulls’, invoked by the SAP BW scheduler. The data must be ‘landed’ on the DataStage server. Solution: New BAPIs in SAP BW allow the InfoPackage scheduling to be controlled externally by DataStage. The Load PACK can now manage all scheduling operations and invoke load requests from the DataStage server.

14.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 14 14 Performance Improvements Scenario: Data volumes are increasing. Load performance is mission critical. Solution: The New Load PACK takes full advantage of data streaming and multi-threading processing techniques. Users can even tune their data package transmission sizes for each DataStage job.

16.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 16 16 Meta Data Import Design Assumptions BW Load PACK jobs produce column lists which mirror BW transfer structures. createselect The new Load PACK allows users to generate SAP BW InfoObjects and InfoSources directly from these column lists. Consolidation of these operations (ETL and BW modeling) greatly simplifies the loading of non-SAP data. Job designers can now simultaneously create and select BW content in the Load PACK GUI. DataStage repository Table Definitions represent meta data descriptions that can be used to generate SAP BW business content. drive The Load PACK GUI will permit access to the DataStage repository. Table Definitions can be used to drive the creation of InfoObjects in SAP BW.

17.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 17 17 Source System Generaldisplayselect Source System management has been moved to a new independent utility. The General tab is primarily used to display and/or select from existing connections.

18.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 18 18 Transfer Structure TransferStructure creationselection  Meta Data BAPI support is accessed in the Transfer Structure tab. The creation and selection of BW content is now functionally interdependent.

19.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 19 19 Table Columns Columns  There has been little change to the functionality accessed from the Columns tab. Column Synchronization occurs automatically.

20.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 20 20 InfoPackages Push/Pull Data Load Methods create, scheduleinvoke The Push/Pull Data Load Methods are new with this release of the Load PACK. It is now possible to create, schedule and invoke SAP BW InfoPackages from DataStage.

21.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 21 21 Design Objectives  Whenever a DS repository Table Definition or job link Column List relates directly to a desired SAP BW InfoObject or InfoSource definition, allow that table definition or list to drive the creation of the SAP BW Object(s)  Allow users to create InfoObjects while in the process of creating an InfoSource that might contain that InfoObject  Supply user controllable default values to reduce repetitive data entry when creating an InfoObject or InfoSource  Make use of DataStage data elements (that will ship with the Load PACK) to facilitate conversions from a SQL data type to its equivalent SAP type. Example: NUMC becomes CHAR and a custom data element BW_NUMC performs strong data type checking and/or conversion logic to all runtime data for that column

22.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 22 22 Design Objectives (cont.)  Maintain an InfoObject catalog for all Objects created by the 3 rd Party Source System  Provide visibility of the InfoObject catalog - distinguishing between those objects created by the 3 rd Party Source System as compared with the entire list of InfoObjects in SAP BW  Support for Object modeling based on templates derived from the InfoObject catalog  Provide support for InfoPackage creation, scheduling and external invocation

23.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 23 23 Full Visibility of Transfer Structure Details  Meta data for selected transfer structure is always visible. Source System and InfoSource selection/management is available on the same screen.

The Load PACK will know whether the selected rows can simply be selected as Attributes or need to be created and added to the InfoCatalog before the corresponding InfoObjects can be selected. Dependent InfoObjects (Attributes) can be selected from BW InfoCatalogs or generated directly from DataStage Columns. Example: Select or Create InfoObjects to be used as Attributes for the current Object.

29.  SAP AG 2002, Ascential DataStage BW Load PACK 3.0, BI RIG 29 29 The Load PACK Maintains it’s own InfoCatalog InfoCatalog  To support data integrity, the Load PACK maintains its own InfoCatalog in SAP BW.
