SAP Data Warehouse Cloud offers new ways of processing and utilizing enterprise data. SAP BW Bridge for SAP Data Warehouse Cloud now makes it easier for customers with an on-premise SAP BW to proceed to the cloud. Here we show you what BW Bridge is all about, and how it supports your journey into the cloud!
This functional enhancement of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud facilitates access to the public cloud if you operate an SAP BW (7.4 & 7.5 from 2022) or SAP BW/4HANA (2021), or if you want to create a data warehouse in the cloud.
In this process, functions such as connectivity and business content related to SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA from existent environments are made available in the cloud.
SAP BW Bridge makes it possible to maintain key features from a business warehouse's existent on-premise environment.These include, for example:
Work with SAP BW Bridge is fundamentally divided into two areas: Data modelling and data acquisition.
Data must be provided and processed centrally in order to be utilized and serve for meaningful analyses. This is made possible by data modelling with SAP BW Bridge. Data can be cleansed and prepared using transformations, and then stored in InfoProviders usually formed by InfoObjects, in a manner analogous to the previous SAP BW.
These persistent data can then be accessed via logical views and used for analyses.
SAP BW Bridge makes it possible to integrate different sources for use in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud. Firstly, data from sources can be persisted via ETL. Data sources, transformations and data transfer processes are used here. Secondly, SAP BW Bridge makes it possible to directly access data from sources, without physically storing the data in a warehouse.
Available sources here comprise systems with ODP functionality, where data are accessed via an ODP data replication API. Source systems not capable of ODP are connected directly to SAP Data Warehouse Cloud.
Two central tools are available for working with SAP BW Bridge:
A choice of three possible scenarios is currently available for use of SAP BW Bridge:
Currently (as of early 2022), planning scenarios with SAP Data Warehouse Cloud are not supported. In future, SAP Data Warehouse Cloud – in addition to the already available planning application of SAP Analytics Cloud – will serve as a data basis for planning.

With the new function REPLACEEXPRESSION, arcplan 7 affords the possibility to influence the automatically generated SQL and MDX statement. This has the benefit that a design can continue to be made with “arrows” and that one is not limited to formulas. Currently, only simple adjustments of the query are possible with this tool; however, there is a large impact on the resulting possibilities.
With the Q2 2023 updated titled "New optimized story experience - unified strories and applications", SAP analytics cloud offers users new ways to develop reports and dashboards even more flexibly and easily in an integrated design enviroment. We'll showyou which new features theupdate provides and how it supports you in creating reports,
As a business intelligence package, SAP BW provides many opportunities for efficient reporting – but also contains numerous barriers which significantly slow down performance. Using the example of report filters available in the application, this article shows how the smallest adaptations impair SAP BW performance, and how efficient settings for filtering options can improve results.
