Enterprise Data WarehousingPerformance & Scalability

DataStore objectsPartitioning: Support database partitioning by time characteristicsRemodeling for DataStore objectsPerformance enhancements:

Activation is changed from single lookups to package fetch of active tableRuntime option “Unique data records only” prevents look-ups during activation,e.g. in case of initial loads

Performance gain for package fetch (lab results)Avg. 20 – 40% improvement, Max. improvement measured – 2.5x fasterVaries by data profile (#inserts/updates/deletes) and database platform

New rule-type for Transformations: ‘Read from DataStore’ for an optimized data look-upto DataStore objects in data bse and Near-Line Storage

Master dataOptimized delta load for master data due to package fetch instead of single look-upsOptimizes Init-load runtime option “insert only” prevents look-ups during activation

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 NLSNLS can be attached to Semantic Partitioned Objects

Automatic switch of InfoPackage modes from Init- to Delta LoadThere is no need to define Init- and Delta InfoPackages anymore.If a delta enabled InfoPackage is started the first time, it is executed as an initial load.

New DataSource Adapter Type ‘Web Service Pull’A new type of web-service-based DataSource can be created which pulls data from a 3rd party source systeminto PSA.Available for transactional data and master data (except hierarchies)Initially available for pilot customers and partners only (i.e. the function is there and can be activated quickly)

Support of complex development landscapesModeling of multi-target source system scenarios by:

Creation of Dummy Source systems in development environmentDeveloping all related source system dependent objects (DataSource, Infopackage etc.)Mapping of dummy source system to existing source systems in the target environment

Multi source system InfoPackage transportTransporting a data staging scenario with automatic handling of InfoPackage assignment tomore than one target source system like already available for DataSources, DTPs and Transformations

Before Export CheckEnhanced consistency check at the end of releasing the transport including checks on dependent objectswhich are not directly included in the transport request to prevent import errors in the target system (due tomissing metadata objects)

Data request archiving for DTP requestsThe table which holds all monitor entries for DTPs tends to grow very big over time. A new feature is available toarchive this kind of data to speed up DTP monitor

Generates proposals along time characteristics 0CALMONTH and 0FISCPER for better performanceEvaluates broader range of MDC proposals (limited by maximum of 33% increase in table size)

With DB2 9.5 and higher: InfoCube fact tables, DSO, PSA tables are created with compressionswitched on by default if DB2 storage optimization feature is used to reduce disk space for dataneeded. With DB2 9.7, indexes will also be compressed.With DB2 9.7: MDC switched on by default for PSA and PSA-like tables (e.g. DSO object tables).With MDC, deletion of requests in data targets is much faster

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 appliedon this granularity

Today cell checks are done on cell level. Thus checks semantically bound to rows, columns orother selections are executed redundantly.
