SAP NetWeaver BW Data Load Processing Overview
•
SAP NetWeaver BW data load processing consists of three main
activities:
 Extraction = Collecting the data in the source systems and
preparing it before sending it to SAP NetWeaver BW
 Transformation = Transforming the data using routines,
lookups, formulas, etc.
 Load = Updating the data into InfoProviders’ DataStore Objects
(DSOs), cubes, and master data

DataSources Supported by SAP NetWeaver Extraction
•
•
•
SAP NetWeaver BW Service API
 Allows data from SAP systems in standardized form to be
extracted and accessed directly
 These can be SAP application systems or SAP NetWeaver
BW systems
File interface
 The file interface permits the extraction from and direct access
to files, such as csv files
Web services
 Permit you to send data to the SAP NetWeaver BW system
under external control
6
DataSources Supported by SAP NetWeaver Extraction
(cont.)
•
•
•
Universal Data (UD) Connect
 Permits the extraction from and direct access to relational data
Database (DB) Connect
 Permits the extraction from and direct access to data located in
tables or views of a database management system
Staging Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs)
 Open interfaces that SAP BusinessObjects DataServices and
certified third-party tools can use to extract data from older
systems
7
Extraction Time Can Be Split into Two Categories
•
•
Extraction time
 DB time to select the data to be extracted
 Logic applied during extraction such as joins, lookups, and
filtering
Middleware and network time
 The time used to transfer the data from the source system to
the target SAP NetWeaver BW system
 Interface types such as Web services and Universal Data (UD)
Connect are good for small amounts of data and cannot handle
large volumes
 Fixed format files are larger to transfer but faster to load into
SAP NetWeaver BW
 WAN Network time can become a bottleneck during peak hours
8
Transformation Types
•
SAP NetWeaver BW supports the 3.x and the 7.x versions of
transforming the data
 3.x is using Transfer rules and Update rules
 Two steps of logic to process the dataset
 Loads to different targets must be processed together
 Used to have better performance than transformations
 Old method; no more development or performance
enhancements; do not continue to use
 7.x is using transformations
 Is using a single step of logic to process the dataset
 Loads to different targets can be processed independently
 Better performance
 Always use this option for new development
9
Loading Data to Information Providers Types
•
Loading of the data to InfoProviders differs depending on type
 DSO
 Update of the activation queue
 Activation of data (update of active table and changelog)
 SID determination
 Should in general be switched off for DSOs
 Master data
 Update of master data tables
 SID determination
 Check duplicate key values
 Very time consuming for time-dependent attributes
 Attribute change run to activate the master data
 Generate navigation data
10
Loading Data to Information Providers Types (cont.)
•
•
Loading of the data to InfoProviders differs depending on type
(cont.)
 Cubes
 Update of data to the InfoCube star schema
 SID determination
 Roll up data to aggregates
 Update data to SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator (SAP
NetWeaver BWA)
Performance considerations for loading the data
 Ensure that the database parameters are in place
 Implement the correct SAP NetWeaver BW settings for your
InfoProviders

Tip 01: SAP NetWeaver BW 7.x Statistics
•
SAP NetWeaver BW includes a great statistics tool
 It collects information on most SAP NetWeaver BW-specific
activity
 Such as data loads and queries
 It’s delivered as business content
 So you must activate it just like all business content
 How to Activate Admin Cockpit document on help.sap.com

0537de10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
Tip 01: SAP NetWeaver BW 7.x Statistics (cont.)
•
•
Define standard measure that can
be monitored on a daily, weekly,
and monthly basis to evaluate
data load performance trends
 Records processed per minute
or Time to process 1 million
records
 Time spent on extraction
 Time spent in transformations
 Top 10 long running loads
 Total time spent for Attribute
and Hierarchy change runs
Use the standard queries and
reports as a starting point
14
Tip 02: See Details About Performance in the Monitor
•
The load monitor transaction code RSMO gives more details
about the processing steps
 InfoPackage details
 Data Transfer Process (DTP) details
15
Tip 03: Use SE30 to Test Performance
•
Transaction code SE30 ABAP Runtime Analysis gives a detailed
view of performance
Remember to set
the accuracy to
Low
Run
transaction
code RSA3
Note: SE30 can also be used for transformations by simulating the DTP run
16
Tip 03: Use SE30 to Test Performance (cont.)
•

Tip 04: Implement the Correct DB Parameters
•
Key DB parameters
 SAP has recommended some parameter values for SAP
NetWeaver BW that usually improve performance
 Expect to evaluate these parameter settings frequently, though,
to ensure that the DB operates optimally
 See three key SAP Notes:
 830576 – Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g
 387946 – Use of locally managed tablespaces for
BW systems
 1044441 – Basis parameterization for NW 7.0 BI systems
19
Tip 05: Manage Database Statistics
•
DB statistics are also crucial for
SAP NetWeaver BW performance
 The DB will not know the most
optimal execution path for an
SQL statement without DB
statistics
 To set up DB statistics:
 Set up BRCONNECT job
using DB20 to recalculate DB
statistics
 Use program RSANAORA to
analyze specific tables
DB statistics can run very slowly under Oracle when
you use SAP NetWeaver BW programs or DB
statistics. Make sure you use BRCONNECT.
20
Tip 06: Build Secondary Indices
•
The select statements used during extraction or during
user exit enhancements should always use a database
index
 Build secondary indices in transaction code SE11
or on the DSO objects used in select statements

Tip 07: Coding Tips — Dynamic Calls
•
•
•
Code the extractor user exits so that they call a dynamic program
per DataSource
 Isolate the code per DataSource in a self-contained program
 Minimize risk that a syntax error in code for one DataSource
impacts extraction from all other DataSources
Example
 Program name = ZBW + <DataSource name>
 Form name = DOZBW + <DataSource name>
This same technique can be used with customer exit variable
code
23
Tip 07: Coding Tips — Dynamic Calls (cont.)
•
Illustration: Sample dynamic program call
24
Tip 08: Coding Tips — Field Symbols
•
Performance consideration: Where possible, use field symbols to
populate fields in the data package
 The move costs of a LOOP ... INTO statement depend on the
size of a table line
 The larger the line size, the longer the move will take
 By applying a LOOP... ASSIGNING statement you can attach a
field symbol to the table lines and operate directly on the line
contents
 This is a much faster way to access the internal table lines
without moving their contents
25
Tip 08: User Exit — Field Symbols
•
Illustration: Sample use of field symbols

26
Tip 09: Coding Tips — Read Instead of Loop
•
Use a READ statement to access a table rather than a LOOP
WHERE
 The cost of a LOOP WHERE is much higher than a READ with
table key or binary search statement
 The READ can also be used prior to a loop statement that does
require a LOOP to then use a LOOP FROM INDEX instead of
LOOP WHERE

Tip 10: Delta Enable Generic DataSources
•
•
•
Improve extract performance by creating delta-enabled generic
DataSources
Simple:
 By date
 By timestamp
 By sequential number (unique table key)
Complex:
 Pointers – ABAP techniques can be used to record an array of
pointers to identify new and changed records
29
Tip 10: Delta Enable Generic DataSources (cont.)
•
Illustration: Delta enabling a generic DataSource
Ensure that you set the upper or lower
limits correctly based on the data you are
extracting!
30
Tip 11: Lookups
•
•
•
Do not use single selects for lookups!
For better performance:
 Use start routines to read lookup data to an internal table
 Read internal table to populate field values in routines
For best performance:
 Add lookup fields to InfoSource
 Use start routine and field symbols to populate blank fields for
entire data package at one time (see illustration on slide titled
“User Exit — Field Symbols”)
31
Tip 12: Program Includes
•
•
•
•
•
Use includes for all complex routine logic
Access logic by using “perform” statements
Increase portability of transformation logic
 Use same read statements for multiple lookups
 Reduce risk of errors in obscure places
Decrease maintenance cost of complex update rules
 One place to go to fix/enhance logic
 Code is consistent and easier to follow
Enable version management of code
 Track changes over time
 Compare between systems
 Revert to previous versions

Tip 13: Use Start and End Routines
•
•
Start routines can be used to process the data efficiently prior to
starting the single records processing
 The most efficient place to delete records from the data
package prior to spending time on processing them
End routines in SAP NetWeaver 7.x allows for processing of the
data after it has been passed through the transformation
 It is the most efficient place to copy data records (e.g., for
generating year-to-date figures)

Tip 14: Data Modeling: Defining Dimensions
•
•
•
•
Use as many dimensions as possible
 Separate common filter characteristics into own dimension
Use line-item dimensions for high cardinality characteristics such
as document numbers
 Do not set the high cardinality flag!
Define related characteristics in the same dimension
 Calculate expected number of dimensional entries
 Try not to exceed 10% of expected fact table entries
 Verify the dimension design after the first dataloads using
program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS
Add all relevant time characteristics
 If 0CALMONTH is lowest granularity, add 0CALMONTH2,
0CALQUARTER, 0CALQUART1, 0HALFYEAR, and 0CALYEAR
 Provides greatest reporting flexibility without need to reload
37
Tip 15: Implement Semantic Partitioning
•
What is it?
 An architectural design to enable parallel data loading and
query execution
 Partitioning criteria: Year, Region, or Actual/Plan
Source: SAP
38
Tip 15: Implement Semantic Partitioning (cont.)
•
Benefits of semantic partitioning:
 Reduction in SAP NetWeaver BWA footprint (when partitioned
by year)
 Parallel data loading (when not partitioned by year)
 Parallel query execution
 Best case when partitioning criterion is set as constant
 Almost as good to create variables to filter on 0INFOPROV
 Archival of a single InfoCube does not impact others
 Easier DB maintenance
Performance benefits are so significant …
semantic partitioning should be deployed
on virtually every data model!

Tip 16: Switch Off SID Determination for DSOs
•
Switch off SID determination for DSOs that are not used in
reporting
 SID determination is required only for report DSOs and take up
40-70% of the activation time
42
Tip 17: Activate Parallel Processing
•
Parallel processing is
possible for most steps
in SAP NetWeaver BW
 DTP Parallel
Processing

DSO settings
 Transaction code
RSODSO_SETTINGS
43
Tip 18: Compress Data
•
•
Compression of InfoCubes helps with two things in the dataflow:
 Makes the tables that are updated smaller and hence faster to
update
 The process variant that drops and recreates the indices during
loading in a process deletes only the indices on the F-fact table
and hence the time to rebuild indices is much faster
Recommendation
 Compress data that is older than 2-8 days depending on your
load schedule
44
Tip 19: Implement Number Range Buffering of DIMs and
SIDs
•
The number range tables (NRIV) are called for every new distinct
record that is loaded to SAP NetWeaver BW as either master data
or dimension in an InfoCube
 The NRIV table is accessed with a select for update statement,
which can be quite slow
 Buffering should be done as follows:
 Determine the large number ranges (Document numbers,
Dimensions with documents or many distinct values)
 Goto t-code SNRO and set up buffering
45
Tip 20: Implement SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator
•
•
•
•
SAP NetWeaver BWA is superior to aggregates when it comes to
improving performance
Aggregates require continuous tuning as the data and query
requirements change over time
SAP NetWeaver BWA requires limited maintenance effort in
comparison
If you can afford it, you should invest in SAP NetWeaver BWA

•
•
•
With SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3,
you can have data in SAP
NetWeaver BW Accelerator;
InfoCubes are not required
This saves the loading time to
the BW cube start schema
You should implement SAP
NetWeaver BWA if you want to
consistently improve query
performance and data load performance
49
Tip 20: Implement SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator (cont.)
•
SAP NetWeaver BWA is an appliance, but it does require some
maintenance activities to keep it running smoothly
 Monitor SAP NetWeaver BWA utilization to avoid overloading
 The rule of thumb is that you should have data that is less
than 50% of the memory size
 Overloading SAP NetWeaver BWA will cause performance
degradation
 Compress the cubes and rebuild indices on a regular basis
 SAP NetWeaver BWA is not a cheap toy. The licensing is
based on blades used.
 Avoid using more space than needed by dropping and
rebuilding the SAP NetWeaver BWA indices on a regular
basis
50
Tip 20: Implement SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator (cont.)
•
Avoid aggregates but consider as a back up for SAP NetWeaver
BW Accelerator
 They come at a cost
 Additional step in data loading
 Longer runtime for master data and hierarchy activations
Before aggregate creation:
• Gather information about end-user
query requirements and drill-down
patterns
• You can suggest aggregates based on
query design
• Execute the query multiple times using
realistic drill-down scenarios
After aggregate creation:
• Allow time for users to execute queries
and collect SAP NetWeaver BW statistics
• You can suggest aggregates based on
SAP NetWeaver BW statistics
• Analyze the use of aggregates
• Modify aggregates for optimization
Check that the query is using the aggregate via
RSRT

7 Key Points to Take Home
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use the SAP NetWeaver BW statistics to find data loads that
require optimization – target to optimize top 5-10 every month
Use SE30 to analyze ABAP runtime for DataSources and
transformations
Review and implement the recommended database parameters for
SAP NetWeaver BW
Ensure that all SQL statements used in the data loading process
are using indices and that statistics are calculated for the tables
Make sure that the ABAP coding used in extraction exits and
transformation is optimized
Review and optimize the data models to avoid unnecessary
processing
Use parallel processing during data loading and updates
