Overview

Use the SAP BW Register Tables wizard in SAS Data Integration Studio to view or access data in your SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) system. For example, you can use it to view metadata about ODS objects and InfoCubes.
If you have not already extracted SAP BW metadata to SAS data sets using the Extract from BW wizard, you can use the SAP BW Register Tables wizard to perform the following tasks:
  • Select the data sources that you want to use.
  • Check whether metadata is available for use.
  • Extract metadata if needed, and to write metadata about those data sources to your metadata repository.
You can also use the SAP BW Register Tables wizard to create jobs in SAS Data Integration Studio that you can then use to load the data from selected ODS objects and InfoCubes into a local SAS library.
