This slide provides an overview of the structure of the SAP Business Information Warehouse in
a heterogeneous system landscape.
The bottom layer contains all the sources of data for BW, including OLTP systems such as
SAP R/3 Systems and external data sources.
Meta data and other application data is managed on the Business Information Warehouse
Server. The various source systems are managed via the Administrator Workbench of the
Business Information Warehouse. The Scheduler and Monitor components of the
Administrator Workbench are used to plan and monitor the transfer of meta and transaction
data from the data sources.
The third layer is the presentation/analysis layer that includes the Business Explorer and its
reporting tools, role-based Web reporting and third-party presentation tools.

Flexible set of ETL capabilities: a company can apply the various forms of ETL capabilities to its
specific situations (flatfiles, DB connect, XML erlutern).
Open to third party ETL-tools: ETL tool vendors have strength and weaknesses. We have
build a tighter integration with Ascential Datastage, because many companies want an out-of-
the-box integration with an ETL tool vendor. We have also packaged it. But all ETL tools have
strength and weaknesses erlutern.

to provide the customer with a set of capabilities that he can tailor to his needs and
situation.
To get a complete view of the business: information islands (not consolidated and linked to
each other) can not provide a 360 degree view.

The Business Explorer is the SAP Business Information Warehouse component that provides
flexible reporting and analysis tools for strategic analyses and decision-making support within a
company. These tools include query, reporting and OLAP functions. As an employee with
authorization for the Business Explorer, you can evaluate old and current data to varying
degrees of detail and from different perspectives on the Web (BEx Web) and also in MS Excel
(BEx Analyzer).
The Business Explorer gives a large spectrum of users access to the information in SAP BW.
Using the Enterprise Portal (for example, through a Portal iView that you can call up alongside
the applications from which you extracted data), using the Internet (Web Application Design) or
using mobile devices (WAP or iMode-enabled mobile telephones, Personal Digital Assistants).
