SAP BW - Write Optimized DSO
In the Write Optimized DSO, data that is loaded is available immediately for further processing.
Write Optimized DSO provides a temporary storage area for large sets of data if you are executing complex transformations for this data before it is written on to the DataStore object. The data can then be updated to further InfoProviders. You only have to create the complex transformations once for all data.
Write Optimized DSOs are used as the EDW layer for saving data. Business rules are only applied when the data is updated to additional InfoProviders.
In Write Optimized DSO, the system does not generate SIDs and you do not need to activate them. This means that you can save time and further process the data quickly. Reporting is possible on the basis of these DataStore objects.
Structure of Write Optimized DSO
It only contains the table of active data and there is no need to activate the data as required with the standard DSO. This allows you to process the data more quickly.
In Write optimized DSO, loaded data is not aggregated. If two data records with the same logical key are extracted from the source, both records are saved in the DataStore object. The record made responsible for aggregation remains, however, so that the aggregation of data can take place later in standard DataStore objects.
The system generates a unique technical key for the write-optimized DataStore object. The standard key fields are not necessary with this type of a DataStore object. If there are standard key fields anyway, they are called semantic keys, so that they can be distinguished from the other technical keys.
The technical keys consist of −
- Request GUID field (0REQUEST)
- Data Package field (0DATAPAKID)
- Data Record Number field (0RECORD) and you load only new data records.
