Hi All,

1. Data Loading into BW

2. Data moving out from BW

Prerequisite:RFC between BW and Dataservice should be running status.

1. Data Loading into BW:

• Create New Datastore for BW.  Datastore type as “SAP BW Target”

• Double click on transfer structure and Import BW data source(PSA) from the list.

• Same way create datastore for source system and import table.


• Create new batch job and add dataflow into it.

• Open a dataflow and track and drop source and target table. Create logical flow between source and target as per business requirement.

• Validate and save the batch job.


• Goto BW, create infopackage for respective datasource and fill the "3rd party selection" details as below.

Repository    : BODS repository name

JobServer     : BODS running jobserver name
