SAP Data Assessment Accelerator

The SAP BW to Microsoft Fabric Assessment Accelerator by Celebal Technologies enables organizations to evaluate and pilot the migration of SAP BW workloads to Microsoft Fabric in a structured and efficient manner. This offering focuses on analyzing SAP BW data models (BEx Queries and InfoCubes) and transforming them into a modern, scalable Fabric architecture using a layered (Bronze, Silver, Gold) approach. Leveraging Celebal’s proprietary accelerators, the solution simplifies complex SAP structures, automates transformation logic, and accelerates data ingestion into OneLake via Azure Data Factory.

Selected SAP BW use cases are migrated and validated, with Power BI reports replicating BEx outputs, enabling stakeholders to assess functional equivalence and performance in the new environment.

Key Features:

1. SAP BW Model Discovery & Reverse Engineering: Identification of BEx Queries and underlying InfoCubes, along with decoding of complex SAP BW structures, schema and transformation logic (including ABAP and GUID mapping).
2. Accelerator-Driven Migration Approach: Utilization of Celebal Technologies’ accelerators such as Extractor Knowledge Base, Data Ingestion Accelerator, ABAP-to-PySpark Converter, and BW / BEX Model Decomposer to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy.
3. Seamless SAP Data Ingestion: Automated pipelines to extract data from SAP Tables, CDS Views, and Extractors using Azure Data Factory, with direct loading into Microsoft Fabric OneLake.
4. Modern Medallion Architecture Implementation:

• Bronze Layer: Raw data ingestion (as-is from SAP sources)
• Silver Layer: Transformation layer replicating SAP BW logic and ABAP transformations
• Gold Layer: Business-ready data model with Fact and Dimension tables for analytics consumption

5. BEx to Power BI Transformation: Creation of Power BI reports that mirror BEx query outputs in terms of structure and insights, adapted to Power BI capabilities.

6. End-to-End Data Validation: Manual validation framework ensuring consistency between SAP source tables, BW models, BEx outputs, and Fabric layers

Business Impacts:

• Accelerated Modernization (Upto 40–60% efficiency gains) through pre-built accelerators and automation.
• Reduced Complexity of SAP BW Migration with structured reverse engineering and model decomposition.
• Improved Data Accessibility & Performance using Microsoft Fabric’s unified data platform and OneLake.
• Cost Optimization by transitioning from legacy SAP BW systems to a scalable, cloud-native architecture.
• Enhanced Analytics Experience with Power BI replacing traditional BEx reporting.
• Future-Ready Data Foundation enabling advanced analytics, AI, and real-time insights.
