What is OWB?

5

What is OWB today?• A market-leading data integration and data quality tool embedded

within the Oracle Database

• Integrate data from disparate data sources• High performance (ELT & ETL architecture) optimized for Oracle• Extreme scalability with support for RAC• Declarative, highly productive drag and drop design capabilities• ERP/CRM/MDM connectivity (EBS, Siebel, SAP, PeopleSoft and MDM)

• Improve enterprise data quality• Name and Address cleansing• Fuzzy matching and merging• Data Profiling and data auditing• Business rule support in profiling and ETL

• Provide data modeling capabilities for Oracle• Relational (tables, views, MVs, UDT, etc.)• Dimensional (slowly changing dimensions, OLAP support, etc.)• BI Objects (Physical, Logical and Presentation)

• Enterprise metadata management• End-to-end attribute level lineage and impact analysis• Extensible repository to hold any metadata

6

What can OWB do for you?Leverage Oracle like no one else

• Leverage your Oracle investments like no one else• Skills, People and Technology• Better performance than anyone else

• Improved productivity over hand coding• Easy to change your environment• Use the latest features without rewriting your code

• Shorten your project times while improving data quality• Discover problems up-front with data profiling• Improve data quality in a declarative way

The SAP Connector

8

High Level Task Flow

• Collect SAP metadata• Definitions for transparent, pool and cluster tables

• Define extract mappings• Define complete extract process • Test extract mappings and process• Move extract mappings and process to

production

9

Metadata Import

• RFC connection to retrieve metadata from SAP:• Support for business names

and descriptions• Current Languages: German

and English• Supports Business domains

• Access to SAP based on SAP JCO interface

10

SAP metadata in business names

Metadata Import

• After import developer can choose naming modes

11

All column details

Metadata Import

• Descriptions are imported and shown

• Relationships can be shown graphically

12

Loading data – design phase

• Use declarative mappings

• Generate ABAP code from the mappings

• No need to learn ABAP, this is generated

Administration

SAP System• Only regular tasks are required:

• Creating regular SAP users for running ABAP programs from OWB

• Transporting production code when required• Possibly verifying ABAP programs run successfully (OWB

will do this as well)

File System• Enabling FTP from a designated directory

16

Administration

Oracle Database System• Only regular database tasks are required:

• Verifying sufficient space for loads• Monitoring regular database activities

OWB System• Schedule and verify loads

17

Administration

Supported Versions:• SAP Connector 10.2.0.1

• SAP R/3: 3.X, 4.0X, 4.6X, 4.7, 5.0• mySAP ERP 2004• mySAP ERP 2005 (with SAP NetWeaver 2004, SAP BASIS

700 components)• SAP Connector 10.2.0.2 and up using SAP JCO

• SAP R/3: 3.X, 4.0X, 4.6X, 4.7, 5.0• mySAP ERP 2004• mySAP ERP 2005 (with SAP NetWeaver 2004, SAP BASIS

700 components)• ECC 6.0 is supported

18

Business Benefits

• Proven, low cost solution for SAP extraction• Allows for integrating heterogeneous information through

a single tool• SAP• Custom Applications

• High throughput achieved by using SAP native language (ABAP)

• Fully leverage your Oracle investments• Infrastructure• Knowledge

• Tight integration with Oracle Discoverer• Generates Discoverer end user layer from OWB• End to end lineage and impact analysis

19

Business Benefits

• SAP BW vs. Oracle / OWB system• SAP BW does not integrate heterogeneous data out of the box• Success rate of BW implementations is not very high• Total cost of ownership for BW is high• Oracle / OWB provides:

• Both SAP and Oracle in a single extract tool• Tight integration with the query tool• Strong data quality features:

• Data Profiling• Matching/Merging of data

20
