SAP BW/4HANA, like other data warehousing solutions, integrates data from various sources to provide a unified view for reporting and analytics. The sources of data used in SAP BW/4HANA typically include:

  1. SAP Systems:

    • SAP ECC (ERP Central Component): SAP BW/4HANA can extract data from SAP ECC systems where operational data resides. This includes modules like FI (Finance), CO (Controlling), SD (Sales and Distribution), MM (Materials Management), etc.
    • SAP S/4HANA: As organizations transition to SAP S/4HANA, BW/4HANA can integrate with S/4HANA systems to extract data directly from the simplified data model of S/4HANA.
  2. Non-SAP Systems:

    • Database Systems: SAP BW/4HANA can connect to various database systems like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, etc., to extract data from non-SAP sources.
    • Flat Files: It can also load data from flat files (e.g., CSV files) stored in file systems.
  3. Cloud Sources:

    • SAP Data Intelligence: With SAP Data Intelligence, BW/4HANA can connect to various cloud-based sources such as SAP Cloud Platform, AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, etc., to integrate data from cloud environments.
    • SaaS Applications: Integration with SaaS applications like Salesforce, Workday, etc., can be achieved using APIs or connectors.
  4. Other Applications:

    • Legacy Systems: Data from legacy systems can be extracted using relevant adapters and connectors provided by SAP BW/4HANA.
    • Third-Party Applications: Any third-party applications that provide APIs or connectors can integrate data into SAP BW/4HANA.
  5. Internet of Things (IoT) Sources:

    • IoT Platforms: SAP BW/4HANA can ingest data from IoT platforms and devices, allowing organizations to analyze sensor data and other IoT-generated data for business insights.
  6. External Data Services:

    • Data Services: SAP BW/4HANA can leverage SAP Data Services for data integration tasks, including data cleansing, transformation, and loading from multiple sources.

In summary, SAP BW/4HANA supports a wide range of data sources including SAP systems (ECC, S/4HANA), non-SAP databases, cloud-based platforms, SaaS applications, IoT sources, and more. This flexibility enables organizations to consolidate data from diverse sources into a centralized data warehouse for comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities.
