Hello​

Is there any experience or feedback using FME (including fms server) in conjunction with a classical SAP bi architecture where the database house is BW4hana. For the front end part we use Sap analytic cloud.​

Thanks for all information or tips and trick​

Hi @frederic.haan​ ! Though I don't have experience with leveraging FME with BW/4Hana or SAP, a good starting point to determine how FME can be use used is to understand what interfaces are provided or supported by a given system:

  1. Is there access to REST API that FME could take advantage of?
  2. Or is there a permissible access to the back end database over ODBC/JAVA/etc.? Does someone know the data model well and FME well enough to build a ‘custom’ interface in FME?
  3. Do some testing to see if you can leverage the SAP HANA Reader/Writer that FME offers.
  4. If the need is just for a few interfaces (access to a few tables) or are you attempting replicate to another data model?
