SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Planning

write back to SAP BW with ODATA

Introduction
SAP Analytics Cloud offers you the possibility to build your own Planning Model and
Application within SAC natively. At a certain point you might want to think about, how to
get this data exported to an On-Premise SAP Business Warehouse. This document
covers the solution to export the Data from a SAC Data Model back to BW with an
OData connection.

OData Writeback to SAP BW

SAP is offering an out of the box solution to write Data back from SAC with an OData
service. To implement this solution SAP provides a note for a SAP BW 7.5 system (
https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2942754) and one for a SAP BW/4HANA
( https://launchpad.support. sap.com/#/notes/2838883 ). If your SAP BW 7.5 is
already on SP 18 or in case of an SAP BW/4HANA 2.0 on SP4 the manual activities do
not need to be performed.

In our scenario we implemented the scenario in SAP BW 7.5 SP 16.

Preparation
We followed the manual steps which are in SAP Note 2942754 as our system is not on
Support Package 18. There are a lot of steps, but it is a straightforward process. After
finishing all the steps, you should have in transaction SEGW a model which looks like
this: 

And in transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE the following service:

Also make sure that in the SICF the service is up and running.

1/7/25, 12:04 PM SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Planning write back to SAP BW with ODATA - ZPARTNER GmbH

In the service leave the Logon Data empty, you will later need to define a user in the SAC
connection.

bgRFC Unit
The export jobs from SAC are processed in SAP BW 7.5 via bgRFC units. For a better
understanding SAP is providing a documentation (
https://help.sap.com/doc/saphelp_nw73/7.3.16/en-
US/48/927c2caa6b17cee10000000a421937/frameset.htm ) and SAP Note
2309399 ( https://launchpad .support.sap.com/#/notes/2309399 ) is giving more
insights on how to configure them effectively.

However, as described in SAP Note 2942754 you need to configure and inbound bgRFC
destination and a Supervisor Destination. The inbound queue Destination should be
named “RSBPC_ODATA_EXPORT” and the Prefix “RSBPC_ODATA_EXPORT_”.

1/7/25, 12:04 PM SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Planning write back to SAP BW with ODATA - ZPARTNER GmbH

Also define a new Supervisor Destination:

Register ADSO
It is also necessary to register the ADSO in the maintenance view
“RSBPC_ODATA_V_EX” in transaction SM30. Please check the limitations regarding the
ADSO mentioned in the note.

Cloud Connector 

1/7/25, 12:04 PM SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Planning write back to SAP BW with ODATA - ZPARTNER GmbH

For a detailed explanation how to configure the Cloud connector please refer to the
following link
https://help.sap.com/viewer/00f68c2e08b941f081002fd3691d86a7/release/en-
US/8d8511532794429caa243b6fb7c79989.html . In the tab Cloud To On-Premise we
configured the following connection. Make sure to configure a HTTPS connection.

SAC Connection
The last step before the export is to create the connection in the SAC. Make sure to tick
on the two checkboxes “Connect to an SAP OData service” and “Connect to an On-
Premise OData service”.

export job
Got to your model and click on “Data Management” and Export the Data to OData
Service.

Select your connection

1/7/25, 12:04 PM SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Planning write back to SAP BW with ODATA - ZPARTNER GmbH

Then you can select the ADSOs which were defined in the maintenance view
“RSBPC_ODATA_V_EX”.

Select the fields you would like to map.

1/7/25, 12:04 PM SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Planning write back to SAP BW with ODATA - ZPARTNER GmbH

You can also filter the data you want to export with the “Add Filter” button

Make sure the dimensions are all mapped correctly and start the export job by pressing
on finish.

1/7/25, 12:04 PM SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Planning write back to SAP BW with ODATA - ZPARTNER GmbH

Finally, the data is exported to SAP BW:

As you can see in the screenshots above, we exported about ~ 450,000 records. We
also exported the model from SAC 1:1 to SAP BW and it took 32 minutes. In the
screenshot below we have extracted the same data but only 2 dimensions and the
keyfigure (including currency), the data gets aggregated already during the export and
this also has an impact on the runtime.

https://www.zpartner.eu/sap-analytics-cloud-sac-planning-write-back-to-sap-bw-with-odata/ 9/12
1/7/25, 12:04 PM SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Planning write back to SAP BW with ODATA - ZPARTNER GmbH

We already got aggregated 1605 rows and it only took 36 seconds.

Summary
If you are currently not on the required SP, which means you must implement the
manual steps mentioned in the SAP Note, it might look overwhelming as already
mentioned. It is just important to follow the steps precisely. Despite the long runtime
the export never failed, and the data was extracted. Overall, this export via OData
provides a good possibility to push data from SAC to your SAP BW system, which
increases the possibilities how to use the capabilities of SAC in combination with a SAP
BW system.
