Standard Edition
Object Level
Data Lineage at Object level for
DDIC Entities.
We export two files: one file with all the relations of
DDC Entities (“Relations”) and one file with more details (e.g. Technical Name and descriptions) (“Details”) of the entities.
In the “Relations” file only entities are included that have a connection in
the data
lineage. E.g.
a View with its base tables.
In the Details file, we identify CDS Data Definition.
The supported entities for the
Object level are the following:
BW Queries
Restricted Key Figures
Calculated Key Figures
Composite Providers
Advanced Data Store Objects (ADSO)
Open ODS Views
InfoSources
DataSources
InfoObjects as InfoProviders
Open Hub Destinations
Aggregation Levels
AfO Workbooks stored in BW
MultiProvider
Data Store Objects
InfoCubes
InfoSets
HybridProvider
HANA Artifacts consumed by Composite Providers and Open ODS Views
In Standard Edition we display the relations of InfoProvider to reusable Key Figures (restricted and calculated Key Figure) only. The definitions of key figures and their relation among each other and BW Queries are part of the Premium Edition.
Tables
Views
CDS Data Definitions
Transactions
Structures (INTTAB) and Append-Structures (APPEND) are not supported.
Field Level
Data Lineage at Field
level for
DDIC Entities.
Every origin of and between Fields
will be part of the premium edition.
Which mappings are supported:
Mappings in Composite Providers
Direct Assignment
Formulas
Constants
Mappings in Open ODS Views
Assignments/rules in Transformations
Description of rules in Transformations
Type of rules in transformations (Constant, Formula, Field Routine, Lookup, End Routine, Start Routine, Expert Routine Direct Mapping)
Value of constants rules
Definition of formulas rules
Lookup object of lookup rules
All field and InfoObjects Mappings are supported for the BWonHANA entities only. That are the following:
BW Queries
Composite Providers
Advanced Data Store Objects (ADSO)
Open ODS Views
InfoSources
DataSources
InfoObjects as InfoProviders
Open Hub Destinations
Aggregation Levels
HANA Artifacts consumed by Composite Providers and Open ODS Views
Definition of Key Figures
The Premium edition reads out also the definitions of key figures on Reporting level. The definition of the following entity types are collected:
Calculated Key Figures
Restricted Key Figures
Local Formulas
Local Selections
Extended Edition
The Extended Edition includes more information about the transformations and rules of Field/InfoObject Data Lineage.
The following information is part of the Extended Edition:
Lookups and calls of
Tables
Views
Function Modules
Methods
CDS Entities
ABAP Reports or Includes
in
Start Routines (ABAP & AMDP)
End Routines (ABAP & AMDP)
Expert Routines (ABAP & AMDP)
and Field Routines (ABAP & AMDP)
Limitations
No differentiation is made between different rule groups.We do not parse code (at the moment) and simply show the 1on1 Mappings of tables and views we get from SAP.
We export 3 more files:
Buildups - with all buildups of tables, views, and data definitions. Datatype, length, and decimals of fields.
BuildupDescriptions - with the descriptions of the fields
Mappings - with the 1on1 Mapping of the fields between tables, views, and data definitions
Parsing the ABAP Code
Wit the S/4HANA connector it is possible to scan the ABAP code too. We identify which ABAP code is calling other ABAP codes. We also find out which tables are modified and which are read by the ABAP code. This is how we map a data lineage. Here you can find a list of key words which are identified in ABAP code.
