New features included in Open Hub Destination of BW 7.3 compared to BW 7.0
The open hub destination is the object that allows you to distribute data from a BI system to non-SAP data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. It ensures controlled distribution across multiple systems.
The open hub destination defines the target to which the data is transferred like Database tables (in the database for the BI system) and flat files can act as open hub destinations. You can extract the data from a database to non-SAP systems using APIs and a third-party tool.
There are two changes in open hub destination, when compared to 7.3 to 7.0. Namely;
- Changes in Object type: We can create open hub destination on the data targets [ object type]
