With NetWeaver 7 EhP3, SAP provides the concept of Operational Data Provisioning that

combines analytic query access in operative systems and replication scenarios.

Operational Data Provisioning provides the following capabilities/features

Operational reporting with state of the art OLAP capabilities directly in the operative

system and therefore low TCO

Direct access to operational data without latency

Data consumption in any frontend technology from BOBJ and in Webdynpro-

Applications via analytical generic building blocks in Floorplan Manager (FPM).

Additionally data is available for SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search and SAP

BusinessObjects Explorer based on SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator (BWA)indices.

A single interface for provisioning of operational data for Operational Analytics, SAP

NetWeaver Enterprise Search and external consumers like SAP NetWeaver BW

Query acceleration for high data volumes using in-memory-technology based

on BWA with a simple configuration step. Queries and modeling are not

affected at all.

The architecture is well prepared for mobile consumption via Gateway.

Analytic Content based on Operational Data Provisioning is delivered with SAP

Business Suite 7i2011. Around 500 Operational Data Providers (ODPs) areshipped across the whole SAP Business Suite.

This slide illustrates the fundamental building blocks of ODP based Operational Analytics.

There are two layers that allow access to operational data:

the Analytic Query is the read interface for analytic frontend tools and analytic

services e.g. for mobile devices or desktop gadgets

the (BW SAPI) DataSource is the interface for data extraction e.g. to BW or via

BusinessObjects Data Services

Analytic Queries typically require data from multiple DataSources: transaction data(e.g. Sales Orders), associated master data (e.g. Customers and Products) and

the related text and hierarchy data.

These relations between different DataSources are exposed to the analytic query

via the ODP layer.

The ODP layer decides whether an analytic query is executed on BWA or via

direct access to the DataSource extractors.

When data is replicated to BWA, also search functionality provided by SAP

NetWeaver Enterprise Search and the data browsing functionality of SAPBusinessObjects BusinessExplorer can be leveraged.
