There are many BusinessObjects data quality and integration tools that are not specific to SAP.

The tool landscape can be very confusing and the best approach is to examine this SAP site.

The Components

Data Services Job ServerThis application launches the Data Services processing engine and provides an engine interface and access to other components.

Data Services engineThis engine executes jobs defined in the application and creates the needed engines for maximum performance.

Central Repository

Local Repository

Data Services Designer

Web Administrator

Job Server & Engine

Access Server

Data target Server

Data SourceServers

Web Applications

Data Services DesignerThis GUI is where you design ETL and cleansing jobs. The interface is intended to be used to develop applications that are specifying work flows (job execution definitions) & data flows (data transformation definitions).

Note: A Workflow may consist of many data flows. Data-flows are source-target focused, while Workflows are an entire job (think process chains in SAP BI)

The Components

Data Services RepositoryA local database that contains pre-delivered and user-defined objects (i.e. transformation rules). You can also create a central repository for version control and to share objects,

How Does it Work

There are several steps to implement Data Services XI 3.1, In the following slides we will highlight the major tasks

1) Create a local repository for the install

2) Add a job server in the Data Service – Service Manager

3) Associate the local repository with the job server

The Data Service Designer

The Data Service Designer is the nerve center of the Data Services. This is where most of the time is spent during the development projects.

The Administrator Interface

From the administrator Interface you can monitor jobs, start and stop web services, manage repositories, servers, connection and source system definitions.

This is where you spend most of your time after the system has been developed.

Impact Analysis and Lineage

Lineage is an end-user view that shows how Calculated Key Figures (CKF) are calculated from the source to the target.

This tool increases the likelihood that people will trust your data.

Impact analysts is a tool to determine who will be affected by a change in the IT system (i.e. who is using this measure or characteristic)

Data Cleansing Capabilities

The Profile This tab in the “view data” screen contains data profile statistics on each column that can help you decide on the quality of the input data.

The system automatically captures the following statistics in a profile grid.

1. Column Name2. Number of distinct values in a column3. Number of records with a NULL value in this column4. Maximum & Minimum value of the column


[

21


The ValidationValidation allows you to create rules for cleaning data prior to loading it to the system. You can have a pass rule and an Action on Failure that can provide complex logic.


[

22


The AuditThe Auditing selectionallows you to take complex actions when the data quality is poor. You can:

1.Send an email to an administrator

2.Load the data to a table for later correction

3.Modify the data through scripts

4.Create custom functions for your own processing logic


[ Universal Data Cleansing: Example of Enhanced Party Masterdata

Source: SAP AG, 2009

You can also add new items such as geocodes for visualization in SAP BI I.e. maps

You can add new characteristics to the data such as:

1) Legal tax jurisdictions 2) Census track ID3) Block group ID4) Insurance rating

territories5) Tax authority name6) Tax authority FIPS codes7) Longditude & Latitude8) City type9) ...

GREAT FEATURE: The Census track ID allows you to analyze your customers and partners using government census information


[ Universal Data Cleansing: Customer Aggregating and Discovery

Source: SAP AG, 2009

A common way to look at customer data is by Households instead of single records.

BOBJ DQ allows you to look at customer's addresses and create shared master records, customer mapping keys, aggregating data (i.e. aggregated sales data for the household), check "no-call" lists, examining churn (apparent customer turn-over).

You can also integrating all masterdata from many records into a single "super record" that contains all the unique masterdata you have about a single customer or partner.


[ Universal Data Cleansing: Data integration & BAS

SAP Data Quality Management has pre-delivered content for many solutions including CRM -> ECC integration. This include:

1) Across platform search capabilities2) Automated address correction 3) De-Duplication of records4) Direct system connection (no file extraction)5) Supported for all major releases: R/3 4.6c; ECC 5 and 6; CRM 4 and 5

BAS is the Business Address Service feature. With this you can:

1) Use Postal reference files from 190 countries to clean address, including suggestion lists

2) Data scans and searches in SAP for duplicate records using partial user input.

"Data Quality Management for SAP provides a prepackaged native integration of data quality best practices within the SAP environment using the BOBJ Data Services platform"

Interesting use for SAP NetWeaver BI

Using BOBJ Data Services you can consolidate data from many source systems, cleanse and integrate them before you send it to SAP BI. This avoids multi-nested DSOs and complex load logic.

Source systems- Oracle- JDE- Peoplesoft- Baan- Siebel- Custom- Hyperion- Other.

Interesting use BOBJ Data Service XI 3.1 for SAP ECCUsing BOBJ Data Services you integrate, cleanse and merge data from source systems during

1) ECC implementation projects, 2) Retirement of legacy systems, 3) Mergers and Acquisitions.

What is New in XI 3.1

Expanded matching capabilities to allow the business user to select other fields (beyond street name and zip code) within the generation of break keys.

An improved method to install the functionality of this product into your IC WebClient or CRM IC WebClient environment. To do so, you add a Component Usage to the Component to which you want to add Postal Validation.

If you have purchased the geocoding option for this product, geocoding allows you to return latitude, longitude, and relevant status information for a U.S. address record
