BODS Introduction and Architecture

Business Objects Data Services (BODS) is an enterprise information management tool that bridges the gap between data and business intelligence needs. It combines data from various sources, cleanses the data, and delivers it to analytical systems. BODS is comprised of BODI for extract, transform, and load functions and BODQ for data quality and cleansing. It provides a single development, runtime, and management environment for integrating, transforming, improving, and delivering data anywhere and at any frequency. The BODS architecture includes an Information Steward, Management Console, Designer, CMC, Repository, and Job/Access Servers.

Business Objects Data Services

By Nagaraju Kakkera

Learning Objectives: 1) EIM 2) BODS = BODI+BODQ. 3) BODS Architecture.

What is an EIM tool? A tool which is managing your organization data is called Enterprise Information Management tool. What EIM tool will do? It Bridges the gap between data and business intelligence and performance management need (SAPs Definition). It delivers best quality data to your Analysis systems. i.e. It combines the data from various sources (Structured or Unstructured), cleanse the data and deliver the data to Analysis systems at any frequency. What are SAPS EIM tools? 1) Information Steward. 2) BODS (BODI + BODQ). 3) SAP MDM. This list goes on.

BODS = BODI + BODQ. It is the first tool which combined DQ and ETL (DI) into one application. BODI is pure ETL functionality. i.e. Extracting data from any source, Transform and Load into any target. BODQ gives more confidence in Analytical systems by cleansing source data (Address cleansing, Data Cleansing, Match and consolidation). Dont need to spend time on reconciliation if you have DQ functionality embedded in regular ETL functionality. BODS is not only a combination of DI,DQ. It is something more.
We can profile the data. Audit and Validate the data. End to End impact and Lineage analysis with metadata integrator. Operational dashboards. Data Quality reports. Data validation reports. Finally Auto Documentation.

What are the steps in BODS development?

Extract

Transform

Cleanse

Load

How it is improving Developer Productivity? Single UI (Designer) for development (Both for DI and DQ) work. Web based environment for Management. Powerful in built transforms and functions. N number of performance optimization techniques. This list goes on..

How tool is separating DI and DQ functionality. Inbuilt transforms are divided into 4 categories. 1) Platform (basic) 2) Data Integrator 3) Data Quality 4) Text data Processing.

What is Data Services?. A powerful enterprise class data integration and data quality definition. (SAPs Definition ). Purpose? Provides one development, run time and management environment that allows you to integrate, transform, improve and deliver data any where, at any frequency. (SAPs Definition).
