Hi,
BW and BI7.0 are the version changes in SAP.
Earlier we have BW 3.5 now it got changed to BI7.0
You can have both knowledge then only you survive.

I would not say it is mandatory as if you do some of the courses provided by SAP you will learn the basic concepts of data warehousing. It would be a good idea to get an overall understanding of conecpts such as ETL and the different data model builds (star schema, extended star schema etc) which is discussed more in various BW books.

Yes. you have to have BW knowledge before learning SAP BI.
Earlier it was SAP BW 3.x version and it is later upgraded to 7.0 and now SAP BI 7.1 versions.
Most of the transactions, datas, and BW related stuff got upgrade to one more level in 7.0 version.
so BW 3.x is the basic knowledge of BI 7.0. Better learn BW 3.5 before going into BI 7.0.
Hope i answered for your query.

yes dear
Do not worry both are similar
the difference between them or the
1) the version
2) and slight extra formalities
if you learn the BW you will have greater impact becuz it has little extra steps for modelling
'
where as bi has less
after learning BW you can refer availble notes to know the difference between them
Hope it would be informative
