Use the
Extract from BW wizard in SAS Management Console to
extract SAP BW metadata to SAS data sets and to specify metadata that
you want to extract from your SAP BW system. For example, you can
extract metadata for a specific InfoCube or ODS object, or you can
extract metadata for all InfoCubes and ODS objects in your SAP BW
system. If you change the structure of an ODS object or InfoCube or
reorganize the InfoAreas in your SAP BW system, you should update
the extracted metadata.
You must extract the
SAP BW metadata to SAS data sets before you can use the
SAP BW Register Tables wizard. After you have extracted your SAP BW metadata, you can perform
these tasks
-
Browse and view SAP BW data sources.
-
Select the data sources that you
want to use in SAS Data Integration Studio.
-
Write metadata about those data
sources to your metadata repository.
-
Create jobs that load InfoCube
or ODS object data into a SAS library.
