BW430 SAP BW/4HANA Modeling

This course is designed for users with some experience in BW/4HANA or for users who have visited BW410 and know the BW/4HANA terms and basic data warehousing tasks. They learn to design BW/4HANA data models based on the LSA++ layered scalable architecture model and using SAP BW/4HANA and SAP HANA modeling objects. Focus topics are master data (especially time-dependency and hierarchies), Open ODS Views, different types of DataStore Objects (advanced), and different Composite Provider scenarios, staging scenarios with InfoSources, currency and unit conversion, and hybrid models with SAP HANA Calculation views.
