Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently we are doing POC using SAP DWC. WE are running into few issues like loading JSON file in DWC is very tedious. When we will have hierarchy node authorization support in DWC? When will the consumption CDS views supported in DWC? We would also like to know when data extraction using rest API will be supported in DWC? Last but not least when can we use Standard Hierarchy in S04?

Pros and Cons

Modelling with non SAP data and SAP data
Easy to connect with Azure data sources
Simple and easy data builder

Hierarchy node authorization
Using Rest API for data extraction
Loading JSON files easily
Using consumption cds view from S04
allow to use S04 Standard Hierarchy in DWC

Return on Investment

improved collaboration across various data sources
Reduced manual processes with easy modeling capability
It would have been good if Hierarchy node authorization is available for roles and access controls
good to have ability to consume Standard Hierarchy nodes from S04
good to have ability to consume consumption CDS view

Usability

Though it has lot of flexibility in creating models. Easy to connect with various sources including SAP and non-SAP sources. there are some limitations which is restricting us from using this in our landscape, which I have written in detail.
