What is SAP BW?

BW/BI is called data warehousing tool. BW  can pull the data from any sort of application. 
The connectivity's integrated with BW system are
ØRFC Connections (Remote Function call)
ØBAPI (Business app programming interface)
ØDB (Database connect) Ex: Oracle, Sy-Base, DB2
ØFlat file
ØALE ( App Linking Enabling)
ØIdoc ( Intermediate Documents)

ØSOAP (Simple object access protocol)
ØEDI (Electronic data interchange/interface)
ØInformation Broadcasting (For Reporting)

 In BI we have 2 types of Data 1. Actual Data 2. Planning Data 

Note :- Mostly we do have this actual data, Depends on the business only this Planning data will be available.

Database Sever: The place where the data is permanently stored.

The BW transformations would be the EDW transformations & propa...
