Open Hub Service in BW BI

Use

As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 6, the new Open Hub Destinationobject replaces the InfoSpoke that was previously used for the open hub service. You can still use existing InfoSpokes, however we recommend that you do not create any new InfoSpokes, but use the new open hub destination concept instead.

More information: Open Hub Destination

The open hub service allows you to distribute data from a BI system to non-SAP data marts, analytical applications, and other applications.It ensures controlled distribution across multiple systems. The InfoSpoke defines the object from which data is taken and the target into which it is transferred.

With the open hub service, the BI system is now the hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data is made transparent by central monitoring of the distribution status in the BI system.

Features

BI objects such as InfoCubes, DataStore objects, or InfoObjects (attributes or texts) can function as open hub data sources. Note that DataSources may not be used as the source.

You can select database tables or flat files as open hub destinations. Both a full mode and a delta mode are available as extraction modes.
