                                                          Translation

                                                          Meta Data Repository

Meta Data Repository:

It is technical Information of the data. Used to maintain the data related to various active BW objects, so that we can display data flow between different BW objects and where used relationship between BW objects.

SAP has delivered end to end pre-deliver data warehouse solution, according different Business process, industries in BI content.

In BI content in version called delivery version. From delivery version whatever objects we require according to client requirement, we can transfer to active version using BI content tool.

Documents:

Used to maintain (create/change) documentation for various BW objects.

Transport Connection:

Used to gather related BW objects in request using which we can transport objects from one box to another box. BI system is 3 system landscapes

Delivery Box---à Quality Box -----à Production Box

Administration:

It Consist of various components using which we can administrate and fine tuned the functionality of BW objects.

Modeling:

            --->   Info Area

              --à  Info object catalog (characteristic catalog, Key figure catalog)

              --à  Info objects (characteristics, Key figures)
