Prepare for the SAP business data cloud certification with a two-hour crash course covering all exam topics, featuring an AI enabled practice exam and open-book format.
Explore various data architectures—warehouse, lake, lakehouse, fabric, data mash, and a composable platform—and see how SAP BDC blends these into a hybrid, plug and play data ecosystem.
Discover how the BDC architecture provides a single source of truth for SAP and non-SAP data, via a foundation service for acquisition, transformation, and curation on a HANA data lake.
Clarifies object store as a low-cost data lake, its lack of ACID and schema controls, and how delta tables with transaction logs enable features and zero-copy sharing via BDC connect.
Explore the base layer of BDC source systems, including SAP (cloud or on-prem) with intelligent app, replication, and CDS view, and non-SAP options via connectors and zero-copy options.
Foundation services is the engine room that replicates data from SAP source systems into the BDC object store and harmonizes data into data products with unified technical and business schemas.
Open Resource Discovery (ORD) is an SAP protocol for self-describing data with JSON metadata. Updates populate the centralized metadata catalog and present data products with business and technical descriptions consistently.
Discover SAP BDC's five core components—cockpit, data sphere, data bricks, BW private cloud edition, and SAP Analytics Cloud—and how they enable object search, semantic modeling, pro-code engineering, and reporting.
Explore the SAP BDC cockpit, access a 30-day trial, activate data packages, and install data products into data sphere via catalog and marketplace.
Learn about the one domain model, a central data model that harmonizes SAP system data, turning fragmented employee and customer records into a single data product in SAP BDC.
Data product is a curated, reusable asset packaging raw data with business context for value, harmonized across sources by a domain model ( ODM ) and usable in databricks.
Activate a pre-built AI-powered intelligent app from the catalog to gain immediate actionable insights for SAP business processes, using data products, data models, and an SSC workspace.
Explore how intelligent apps in the data cloud are installed, activated, and configured across data sphere workspaces, delivering live S4 HANA dashboards, KPI models, and supplier data via data packages.
Explore intelligent app extension options for SAP apps by copying and enhancing reports or building on a new model to preserve upgrades and story integrity.
Explore SAP Data Sphere, the centerpiece of SAP BDC, as you harmonize and join data across spaces, build analytical models, and orchestrate data from SAP and non-SAP sources for reports.
Explore SAP DataSphere within the SAP BDC environment, navigate the landing page, data builder and security options, and manage spaces, objects, and analytical models.
Trace the shift from SAP BW to SAP BDC and DataSphere. Explore cloud native advantages, a unified data experience, ai/ml with databricks, and migration steps.
The lift, shift, and innovate roadmap migrates SAP BW to private cloud edition, moves data with a data product generator, and adopts cloud-native SAP BDC objects.
Explore how the data product generator creates local tables in SAP data sphere from BW, enabling delta sharing and data product use.
Explore BW innovate: replace BW objects (info objects, ADSOs, DSOs, info cubes) with SAP BDC equivalents, using analytical models and views, plus local data products to decommission BW.
Explore SAP Databricks within SAP BDC, enabling zero copy data sharing and artificial intelligence and machine learning workflows from data products to Delta tables.
Unity Catalog in SAP Databricks serves as a unified governance layer, a central library to locate data across the workspace, manage access, and track changes in metadata, lineage, and objects.
Explore Databricks in SAP BDC formation, navigate the catalog and SQL editor, and learn about Unity Catalog, Delta sharing, and serverless SQL warehouse.
Share a data product from SAP BDC data sphere to Databricks through a zero-copy share, turning shared cash flow tables into Databricks tables.
Publish a data product from Databricks to sap business data cloud by creating a shared container, placing assets, and defining ord and csn to register the asset with business context.
Learn how to create a Delta sharing container, share a schema, and publish a data product from Databricks to SAP BDC, including CSN and OID setup.
Demonstrates exploratory data analysis in a Databricks notebook, cleaning and preparing data, using AutoTS and MLflow to train and forecast, and registering models for reporting.
Explore SAP Analytics Cloud in SAP BDC using SSE to connect models from SAP BW, SAP HANA, or SAP Data Sphere to stories and dashboards for planning and predictive analytics.
Learn exam strategies for the SAP business data cloud course, including AI role-play interviews, open-book testing, pause-and-think options, and multi-attempt practice within a two-hour window.
