PUBLIC SAP BW bridge: Multi-tier landscape support ▪ Define your landscape setup BEFORE you provision the SAP Datasphere tenants. Single-tier setups cannot be converted! ▪ DEV tenant of the SAP BW bridge instance is automatically set to “development enabled = TRUE” 👉 do not change this! ▪ PROD tenant of the SAP BW bridge must be configured as “development enabled = FALSE” ▪ Then you can start transporting from DEV to PROD between the SAP BW bridge instances ▪ Both transport mechanisms work independently, therefore 1. transport the SAP BW bridge objects first, expose the data and objects in the SAP BW bridge space. In SAP Datasphere, SAP BW bridge, transports are carried out via gCTS (git-based Change and Transport System, see SAP Help for details). This is controlled via the software component. Initially, all objects assigned to a software component are transferred to other systems in the system landscape and subsequently a delta mechanism is available in gCTS. 2. transport the SAP Datasphere objects on top. In SAP Datasphere, transports between tenants are carried out using the transport and CSN/JSON methods. The transports are controlled via the SAP Analytic Content Network (ACN), see SAP Help for more details.

- 13. 17 SAP Datasphere is our semantic layer combining data from several sources & layers and covers the same functionality as OLAP queries. Many query features have already been implemented. Others have been identified and are listed as roadmap items. OLAP Features SAP BW Query SAP Datasphere provides many more data source types than SAP BW. All data sources that were available in SAP BW are equally available in SAP Datasphere. The focus of SAP BW bridge as a staging layer is on classic SAP connections (ODP_S AP). FILE, HANA, Big Data sources (Non-ODP) Data sources Open Hub destinations are not required in SAP Datasphere (and are not supported in SAP BW bridge) as it provides native export and data transport capabilities. Mass data export OpenHub destinations In SAP Datasphere you have the option to modernize the analysis process with a DataFlow artefact (man ual). The conversion to SAP BW/4HANA supports APDs (DataFlow object) Analysis process modeling Analysis Process Designer (APD) SAP BW add-ons are not supported in SAP Datasphere or SAP BW bridge. Strategically, the successor for SAP BCS is S/4HANA Group reporting. The successor for SAP BPC is SAP Analytics Cloud Planning (blog, web page). For SAP BW/4HANA, we support the consolidation add- on (SAP BCS4/HANA, see details) and SAP BCS aligned with the SAP S/4HANA maintenance strategy SAP BPC and BCS (SEM-BCS) Planning and Consolidation SAP HANA on-prem is based on XS Classic, while the SAP HANA Cloud engine underlying SAP Datasphere is based on XS Advanced (XSA). Regarding the complexity and different kind of technologies, no migration option can be offered. Hybrid models Mixed modeling

For the given scope (User, InfoProvider) the Analysis Authorizations are exported in the Permission Table in SAP BW/4HANA (Transaction: RSDWC_DAC_RSEC_GEN; technical name of Permission Table: RSDWC_RSEC_DAC) 2. Permission Table is imported to SAP Datasphere and the (BW)Remote User is replaced by the Datasphere User which is the eMail by Standard, BAdI provided for other logic of replacement 3. SAP BW/4HANA InfoProvider must be imported into SAP Datasphere (via Data Builder) as well 4. An Input Permission View is generated by applying the Filter Clause (with a generated SQL Script) 5. Data Access Control is generated 6. Protected View from imported InfoProvider is generated with the Data Access Control assigned. This view can be shared to other Spaces. Summary: Three objects will be generated in SAP Datasphere for each Remote InfoProvider selected for protection: – Data Access Control – View of the SAP BW/4HANA InfoProvider protected by the Data Access Control – SQL Script that exposes the permissions for each user based on the Analysis Authorizations from SAP BW/4HANA SAP BW/4HANA SAP Datasphere Central Space Input Permission View Protected view SAP Datasphere – Remote Authorizations Userscope Objectscope Analysis Authorizations RSDWC_DAC_RSEC_GEN RemoteUser InfoProvider Name Filter Clause eMail RemoteUser InfoProviderName Filter Clause eMail User (=eMail) InfoProviderName Filter Clause User authColumn( 1..n) InfoProvider (TransactionalData) Permission Table Permission Table (imported) Apply Filter Clause InfoProvider (imported) DAC Leverage your SAP BW/4HANA authorization in SAP Datasphere
