2. SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 Data Services
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services tool is the threshold of converting data into
information. It is used for ETL – Extract, Transform and Load operation.
Extract transaction data from multiple source systems (business may have more
than one system to handle operational data)
Transform the extracted data – cleanse, summaries/aggregate and create a
single record at the aggregation level.
Load – load the transformed data into a Data Warehouse or Data Mart.

From PSA the data can be transfer to an InfoCube.
Data transfer using SAP BusinessObjects Data Services between non SAP
systems like database to database, flat file to flat file, flat file to database, etc is
relatively straight forward –select data from source and insert data into target.
SAP BW system is a very comprehensive system with built-in resource to handle
in coming data. Inserting data into SAP BW or any SAP database schema need
to use built-in mechanism as demonstrated in this section.

Next, we will build an InfoCube and use that cube as a data source for next
section – Building Universe using SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool.
InfoObjects and Lowercase letters
Note: By default the InfoObjects will accept only uppercase letters. If the sample
csv data contains lowercase letters, the InfoObjects should be configured to
accept lowercase letters.
Log into SAP BW, go to Data Warehousing workbench and select InfoObjects

4. SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool
SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool is used to build Universe.
Universe is a semantic layer lying between data warehouse and presentation
layer (reports, dashboards etc.). The purpose of the universe is to help the
business division users (not technical users) to be as independent as much as
possible from IT when using the BusinessObjects BI system. This is achieved by
translating the data in technical terms to familiar business terms. For example,
translating P_CC to Cost Center. These business terms are saved as objects in
the universe and provided to the business users, giving them the flexibility to
create reports, dashboards etc. on their own. In addition, universe provides data
format, security, filters, lookup lists etc.
