When working withOperational Data Provisioning (ODP)in SAP BW/4HANA, it is essential to release the DataSource in the source system (e.g., SAP ERP) for ODP before it can be used in the target system (SAP BW/4HANA). If the DataSource is not released for ODP, certain limitations arise during the replication process.
The ODP DataSource cannot be replicated using the ODP_SAP source system type (Option C):
In SAP BW/4HANA, when a DataSource is created in the source system (e.g., SAP ERP), it must be explicitly released for ODP to enable replication via theODP_SAP source system type.
If the DataSource is not released for ODP, the replication process will fail because the metadata required for ODP replication is not available in the source system.
This limitation applies specifically to theODP_SAP source system type, which relies on the ODP framework to extract data from SAP source systems.
The ODP DataSource can be generated using the DataFlow generation feature (Option A):While the DataFlow generation feature in SAP BW/4HANA simplifies the creation of data flows, it does not bypass the requirement to release the DataSource for ODP. Without releasing the DataSource, replication will still fail.
The ODP DataSource has to be created using the ODP_HANA source system type (Option B):TheODP_HANA source system typeis used for extracting data from SAP HANA-based sources, not SAP ERP or other SAP systems. This option is irrelevant to the scenario described.
The ODP DataSource has to be created using the ODP_SAP source system type (Option D):While the ODP_SAP source system type is used for SAP source systems, the issue here is not about creating the DataSource but rather about the inability to replicate it due to the lack of ODP release in the source system.
ODP Release Requirement:Releasing a DataSource for ODP in the source system ensures that the necessary metadata and extraction logic are available for replication in SAP BW/4HANA.
ODP_SAP Source System Type:This type is specifically designed for SAP source systems and relies on the ODP framework to manage delta queues and data extraction.
