What is SAP BW/4HANA Training?
SAP BW/4HANA training teaches you to design and build a modern SAP data warehouse. You cover the simplified object model with advanced DataStore objects, composite providers and open ODS views, LSA++ layered architecture, data acquisition through operational data provisioning, SAP HANA smart data access and file sources, transformations, data transfer processes and data flow objects, process chains and scheduling, query design with BW queries, mixed modelling that combines BW and native HANA views, and consumption in SAP Analytics Cloud and Datasphere.
What you get
- Explain the BW/4HANA object model and LSA++ architecture
- Model InfoObjects with hierarchies and master data
- Design advanced DataStore objects for the right layer
- Configure ODP based extraction from S/4HANA

Curriculum
BW/4HANA foundations and architecture
Understand what was removed and why the model is simpler.
- BW/4HANA versus classic BW on HANA
- The four object types that replaced dozens
- LSA++ layered architecture
- Virtual versus persisted layers
- BW/4HANA in the SAP analytics landscape
- BW Modeling Tools in Eclipse
- Web-based modelling tools
- Conversion paths from classic BW
InfoObjects and the semantic layer
Model the dimensions everything reports on.
- Characteristics and their properties
- Key figures and units
- Hierarchies: internal and external
- Master data: attributes and texts
- Compounding and referencing
- Authorisation relevant characteristics
- InfoObject reuse and governance
- Naming conventions that scale
Advanced DataStore objects
Learn the one object that replaced the whole persistence stack.
- ADSO modelling properties
- Standard, staging and data mart ADSOs
- Write-optimised and corporate memory patterns
- Inbound, active and change log tables
- Activation and request handling
- Partitioning and performance
- Housekeeping and data lifecycle
- Choosing the right ADSO template
Data acquisition
Get data in from SAP and non-SAP sources.
- Operational data provisioning framework
- ODP extraction from S/4HANA and ECC
- CDS view based extraction
- SAP HANA smart data access sources
- Flat file and cloud sources
- Real-time and streaming considerations
- Delta handling and delta queues
- Troubleshooting extraction failures
Transformations and data flows
Move and shape data reliably.
- Transformation rules and rule types
- Start, end and expert routines
- AMDP based transformations
- Data transfer processes and filters
- Error handling and error stack
- Data flow objects and their use
- Deletion and selective deletion
- Reprocessing failed loads
Reporting layer and mixed modelling
Expose data for analysis, in BW or in HANA.
- Composite providers: union and join
- Open ODS views for virtual access
- BW query design and query properties
- Restricted and calculated key figures
- Variables and their processing types
- External SAP HANA views from BW objects
- Combining native HANA views with BW models
- Consumption in Analytics Cloud and Datasphere
Operations, security and lifecycle
Run the warehouse and keep it correct.
- Process chains: design and error handling
- Scheduling and monitoring loads
- Analysis authorisations for data security
- Transport and change management in BW
- Performance analysis of loads and queries
- Housekeeping and archiving with NLS
- BW/4HANA and Datasphere coexistence
- Documentation and handover practices
Projects you will build
End to end data flow
Extract from a source with ODP, load through staging and corporate memory ADSOs into a data mart, and expose a composite provider with a BW query.
Transformation and error handling
Build a transformation with routines and lookups, deliberately introduce bad data, work the error stack and reprocess cleanly.
Process chain and security
Build a process chain with error branches and alerting, then secure the model with analysis authorisations and test with restricted users.
Tools you will use
- BW Modeling Tools (Eclipse)
- The primary modelling environment for BW/4HANA objects.
- Advanced DataStore objects
- The single persistence object you will model most.
- Composite providers and open ODS views
- The reporting and virtual access layer.
- Transformations and DTPs
- Data movement, shaping and error handling.
- Process chains
- Scheduling, dependencies and error branches for loads.
- Analysis authorisations
- Row level data security for reporting users.
Certification

- C_BW4H_2505
- Level
- Associate
- Exam fee
- US$560 (single exam)
What learners say
Coming from classic BW, the hardest part was unlearning. The object model comparison in module one saved me weeks.
Mixed modelling is the section that mattered. Knowing when to stay in BW and when to use HANA views is the actual architecture skill.
The process chain and error handling project is what production support really looks like. Excellent inclusion.

What a day looks like
- Load monitoring
- Checking overnight chains, and fixing the one that failed before business users notice.
- Data reconciliation
- A report figure that does not match the source, traced through transformations and delta handling.
- Modelling work
- New requirements: an ADSO, a transformation and a composite provider extension.
- Performance tuning
- A slow query or a long load, usually partitioning, filtering or a routine doing too much.
- Architecture questions
- Where a requirement belongs: BW, native HANA, Datasphere or the source system.
