UNIT 1: Hybrid provider

UNIT 2: New monitors in BW Administration cockpit

UNIT 3: Generic delta functionalities for further types of Data Sources

UNIT 4: Hierarchies

• Integration of hierarchies into process flow (DTP, Transformation)
• Remote hierarchies for direct access to hierarchies in the source system
• Loading hierarchies from flat file using the new Data Source and Transformation technology

UNIT 5: Data Transfer Process (DTP)

• Data Transfer Process supports data extraction from Multi Providers
• Option to only load the last request from a given source (available for full load DTPs)
• Data Transfer Process supports referential integrity checks tor navigational attributes of the target
• Enhanced load performance by possibility to Re-package small data packages within a request to bigger packages

UNIT 7: Transformation

• Semantic grouping possible in Transformations (in addition to semantic grouping in DTPs)
• Possibility to select the Info Objects (fields) the user wants to use in a Start- / End routine
• Currency and unit conversion for Data Store object and Info Source as target of a Transformation.
• Navigation attributes of Info Cubes/Data Store objects can be used as source fields in the Transformation and as filter/select options in the DTP
• Automated generation of a proposal by mapping fields of the Data Source to Info Objects
