SAP DS - BEST ETL TOOL
Data Services is used in our organization to extract the data from Tera data and flat file to load it into Hana with the help of DATA SERVICES JOBS . as it is very convenient to map from non SAP source to SAP mapping. This helps in running the batch jobs and real-time jobs with massive data.
- Handle Massive data so well for ETL purpose
- different types of transformation is available in one go .
- Job scheduling and maintanence is user friendly
- It should have option of loading data as triggered based as well
- Extracting flat files data should be automated with single click.
- Should have the option to trigger the HANA procedure directly with putting it into data foundation
SAP Data Services is the primary ETL tool for many of my clients. We use it to move, manage, and control data to meet reporting and analytics needs. Paired with SAP HANA, we quickly aggregate data into a central data lake for centralized batched reporting.
- Repetition of the same extract or transform for different needs. We can use variables to use the same ETL job for different types of aggregations.
- Reliability of the jobs through the use of audit features. We can add audit gates to check for table counts and automatically send out notifications and alerts.
- Heavy processing is required to run the standard transformations. We get around this by creating custom SQL transforms, but lose insight when we take this approach.
- Delta loading is possible but sometimes difficult. It sometimes requires customization that creates maintenance issues.
I have used the SAP Data Services platform for more than 10 years since its inception when the tool was owned by Business Objects. This tool has demonstrated its full potential in ETL implementations, data quality projects, SAP ERP migrations and proof of concept with great results and complete compliance from the users.
- The ETL construction process its very easy. Its ease of use and the fact that the design of the processes is completely graphic makes its learning process very fast.
- Support on ETL Migration.
- Data Quality Projects.
- Metadata Administration.
- Its connectivity capabilities with different database platforms, applications and cloud systems are excellent and has been growing with the evolution of the different versions.
- New connectivity options for cloud solutions must be added.
- Avoid dependency from flash in Information Steward scorecard.
- More connectivity options for hadoop distributions.

Faster deployment times with higher data accuracy
Data Services is used mainly within IT to migrate data from our legacy system into SAP ERP. DS is used for selection, enrichment, validation and transfer of data.
- Integration with SAP ERP/ECC works really well.
- A lot of flexibility in data creation, with different types of communication capabilities like BAPIs, IDocs, and Batch input.
- Reliable and consistent results and easily enforceable data templates.
- Initial setup of rules requires more technical expertise than master data management teams are typically used to.

Review from a new user
Data Services is used to extract, transform and load data from/to various sources such as Text files, Excel sheets, CSV files and SAP HANA tables. It is used by the IT department. It is used to address various types of business problems such as loading vendor details, cost information, customer data, material descriptions, etc.
- Extracting data from various types of data sources
- Transforming data using joins, functions, look ups, etc.
- Loading data into different kinds of targets
- Debugging is not very easy. When one wants to see the flow of data from one Query to another, the process is not very smooth and efficient.
- A lot of functions do not behave the way they should. I have faced problems with the count() function.
- I have faced problems while loading Excel files. The same set of options will work in one case but not in the other.

SAP Data Services is used as an integration tool within the group BI solution. It is mainly used to load sources that do not support realtime replication.
- Loading files from landing area into the database.
- Integrating various sources with SAP HANA.
- Multi-developer environments.
- Loading of XML sources.
- Type two dimensions could be handled more elegantly.
- Importing HANA calcultation views into the datastore is not intuitive.
- Scheduler is very basic.
