Use

Operational Data Provisioning makes data available to an application for analysis purposes. There can be two different application scenarios here:

  • Operational Analytics

    Operational Analytics makes it possible to perform reporting and analysis based on an application data model without the need to replicat the data in a Data Warehouse. Unlike strategic analysis, it mainly supports decision making in operative business processes. Operational Analytics is available to a broad spectrum of users in the company, has low latencyz, high granularity of data and a high level of availability. If you use Operational Data Provisioning for Operational Analytics, the data can be used by direct access from analytic queries (query) and can also be replicated to the SAP NetWeaver BWA.

  • Data Extraction and Replication

    Operational Data Provisioning supports extraction and replication scenarios for various consumers and thereby supports delta mechanisms. Operational Data Provisioning therefore supports replication of data to SAP NetWeaver BWA. Operational Data Provisioning's service for extraction, transformation and loading (ETL) still makes it possible to transfer data to SAP BusinessObjects Data Services, for example.

    The data extraction and data replication abilities therefore make it possible to index data for Operational Analytics in the BWA and, if the data analysis requirements become complex, to make the data available to other consumers.

If you want to use Operational Data Provisioning, make sure that you have made the following Customzing settings for Search and Operational Analytics:

1. Joint Settings for Operational Analytics and Embedded Search:

2. Basic Configuration for Operational Analytics

3. Specify Client for Modeling

4. BAdI: Process DataSource Enhancements (optional)
