Open ODS view in BW 7.4 SP 6

[former_member223957]

I have the following doubts regarding Open ODS view in BW 7.4

1. What is the benefit of Open ODS view over Transient Provider (how they are different from each other) ?
2. Can we use Open ODS view in Composite Provider and Multiprovider ?
3. According to below link , we can create Open ODS view from Hana Studio .We also have the option to create Open ODS view from BW(please refer the below image).what is the difference between creating Open ODS view from BW and from Hana Studio?

Hello Safiullah,

Open ODS view is useful when you want to bring in a DB table or view into BW system where as Transient provider is for importing HANA information models (Analytical & Calculation views).

We can't use Open ODS view in Composite and Multi Provider where as we can include Transient provider in both composite and multi providers.

We can create Open ODS view from both BW and HANA studio (BW Modelling perspective), both are one and the same.

Thanks.
Sathish.

OpenODSView enables you integrate external data in the EDW Core Data Warehouse without the need to stage the data first.

It offers the possibility to enrich external data structures with semantics and

enables BW to apply BW OLAP functionality on data that is not yet staged into HANA
