Enterprise Data Warehousing
Performance & Scalability
DataStore objects
Support of database partitioning by time characteristics enables faster access of the data
Activation is changed from single lookups to mass lookup of active table
Performance gain for the improved activation (lab results) Avg. 20 – 40% improvement, Max. improvement measured – 2.5x faster
Varies by data profile (# inserts/updates/deletes) and database platform
Runtime option “New, unique data records only”
omits lookups during activation
speeds up initial loads, e.g. requests which contain only new data
New rule-type for Transformations: „Read from DataStore‟
Fast data lookup to DataStore objects in database and Near-Line Storage.
Lookup is performance optimized by using mass read once per data package
instead of record by record.
Replaces custom ABAP code for lookups by efficient built-in lookup mechanism
DBMS specific optimization (DB2 DPF)
Activation using database specific SQL commands on mass data
Improvement measured (lab results): factor 2 – 3 times faster compared to standard activation
See slide „IBM specific enhancements“ and „BW with support for Teradata
Remodeling for DataStore objects
Accelerated data loads for DataStore Objects

Enterprise Data Warehousing
Performance & Scalability
Master data Load is changed from single lookups to mass lookup of master data table
Runtime option “New records only”
omits lookups during activation
speeds up initial loads, e.g. requests which contains only new data
Accelerated SID Handling by using an internal mass processing (with customizable threshold)
Use of navigational attributes as source fields in the transformation avoids additional overhead for lookups
New master data deletion as default (already introduced with BW 7.0 SP 23)
Completely reengineered and performance optimized
New capabilities like search-modes for the usage check, simulation-mode etc.
InfoCubes Alternative InfoCube update using mass data processing for SIDs and DIMIDs
Suitable to accelerate initial loads with large data volumes
Near-Line Storage (NLS)
Integration into Data Mart Layer (Support of MultiProviders)
Enable NLS in Query properties from BEx Query Designer (not necessary to do this in RSRT anymore)
Selections on navigational attributes will be passed to NLS
NLS can be attached to Semantic Partitioned Objects
Other performance improvements based on BWA (see slide „BWA new capabilies“)
Other improvements (see slide „SAP Business Objects Integration BI)
Accelerated data loads for Master Data and other improvements

SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse 7.3 Development Efficiency
Graphical Top-Down Modeling
• Enables fast structured modeling directly in the system via drag & drop
• Supports later refinement of the same models with technical details
Structure BW implementation with the help of data flows
• Group the modeling objects and save them as persistent view of
your enterprise model – works even for existing models created in BW 7.0
• Model according to responsibilities in separated data flows, e.g. separate
staging layer from data mart objects or application sales from HR.
• Document your dataflows via HTML or attach any other document type
• Fully integrated in DW Workbench navigation pane for easy access
• Ability to transport according to data flows
• Share and reuse models using naming conventions for the dataflow
(can be used by customers & system integrators)
Modeling powered by dataflow templates
• Easier and faster modeling using predefined templates (copy and adapt)
• Customer can create company standards defining custom templates
• BW comes with Data Warehousing best practices models shipped as pre-build templates of the Layered Scalable Architecture
Graphical Data Flow Modeling introduces new paradigm of BW modeling

Already available since EhP 1 for SAP NetWeaver BW 7.0 SP6:
New capabilities in the area of performance optimizations:
Cell checks will be grouped by higher granular selections and the checks applied
on this granularity
Today cell checks are done on cell level. Thus checks semantically bound to rows, columns or
other selections are executed redundantly.
Reduce redundant execution of planning functions
Today planning functions are executed completely whenever they are called, regardless whether the execution will impact the data or not.
A design time option is introduced to deliver only those cells to a planning function, that are changed since the last planning function execution.
Continued investments to optimize performance of SAP NetWeaver BW
