Definition

The term Data Store, used within the context of SAP Business Objects Data Services, relates to a source or target system. The terms Source Data-Store and Target Data-Store are often used to make the distinction clear.

This term has nothing to do with the InfoProviders of type DataStore Object in BW, which are used for data storage.

Use

A Data Flow in the SAP Business Objects Data Services system extracts data from a source data store and writes it to a target data store, in this case to the BW.

To simplify modeling, this BW target data store is automatically created in the data services repository when a new data services source system is connected. The name of this generated BW target data store is <data services source system>@<BW system> (see example).

The source data store defines the connection data for the remote system or database containing the application data that you want to load into the BW. You can enter it directly into the current input field. Here you can reference an existing data store in the Data Service Repository (use the input help). You can also create a new data store by entering a name that is not known in the Data Services Repository and then choosing the "Create" pushbutton to maintain the data-services-specific connection parameters for the remote system. The dialog window (accessible using the pushbutton) is automatically derived from the data store maintenance. Therefore it only contains terms from data services. One of these terms is DataSource. This does not refer to a BW DataSource. Instead it means a ODBC DataSource that is used to access the remote system from the data services server.

Dependencies

Example

Create the data services source system SALES in the BW named BRACLNT003. The BW target data store is named SALES@BRACLNT003.

The remote system that contains your sales data is a MySQL database named SalesAppDB. You can name the source data store SalesDatabase and enter SalesAppDB as the ODBC DataSource in the attributes of this data store.
