OLTP Vs OLAP
OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) refers to the type of data
processing typically done in an R/3 system.
BW is an OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) system.
SAP BW Data Model
Bottom Layer:
BW can extract and use data provided by a variety of
sources. These include R/3 and R/2 systems, non-SAP
systems, flat files, commercial data providers, and even other
BW systems.
Middle Layer:
The BW server provides all the tools necessary to
model, extract, transform, aggregate, store, and access data.
Since the description of the data, regardless of its source, is
contained in a common Metadata Repository, data from a
variety of sources can be combined to give you enhanced
data analysis options.
Top Layer:
BW users can access data through the SAP Business
Explorer, a standard Web Browser, or third-party display
tools, which have been certified for use with a common BAPI
interface.
