Datasphere and Business Data Cloud

Datasphere and BDC Course Details

SAP Datasphere & Business Data Cloud Online Training

SAP Datasphere & Business Data Cloud Online Training is a practical learning program for professionals who want to understand how modern enterprises collect, connect, organize, govern, and consume business data across SAP and cloud environments.

The course goes beyond basic Datasphere navigation and introduces the complete journey of enterprise data—from connecting source systems and bringing data into the cloud, through transformation and semantic modeling, to analytics, planning, data products, and modern Business Data Cloud scenarios.

During the training, participants explore how SAP Datasphere can work with systems such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP HANA Cloud, SAP Analytics Cloud, external databases, APIs, and cloud storage platforms. The emphasis is on understanding why a particular integration or modeling approach is selected and how it fits into a real project architecture.

A major part of the program is dedicated to data integration and data engineering. Learners work with Remote Tables, Data Flows, Replication Flows, Local Tables, Task Chains, OData connectivity, and other integration approaches. Practical scenarios help explain how data can be loaded, replicated, transformed, and refreshed while considering performance, security, and maintainability.

The training also introduces SAP Business Data Cloud, including its architecture, foundation services, Data Products, data sharing concepts, and integration patterns. Learners gain an understanding of how curated business data can be made available for analytics and other enterprise use cases without treating every project as an isolated data warehouse implementation.

From Data Integration to Business Insight

The course follows a complete data-to-insight approach:

Connect → Integrate → Transform → Model → Govern → Analyze → Share

This approach helps participants understand how individual Datasphere objects work together as part of a larger data platform.

In the transformation section, learners explore both graphical and SQL-based techniques. Topics include SQL Views, SQLScript, Transformation Flows, delta processing, Change Data Capture scenarios, currency conversion, unit conversion, Intelligent Lookup, and data access controls.

The modeling portion focuses on creating business-ready analytical structures. Participants learn about Facts, Dimensions, Analytical Models, Calculated Columns, Restricted Measures, Exception Aggregations, Structures, Variables, and Parent-Child Hierarchies.

The program also demonstrates how Datasphere data can be consumed outside Datasphere. Integration scenarios include SAP Analytics Cloud, Power BI, Excel, OData, and ODBC, giving learners a broader understanding of how business users and reporting teams can access governed enterprise information.

Business Data Cloud & Modern Data Engineering

Modern SAP data projects increasingly involve technologies beyond traditional data warehousing. Therefore, this course introduces the relationship between Business Data Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP Databricks, Delta Lake, Data Products, and cloud object storage.

Participants are introduced to concepts such as:

  • Data Products
  • Delta Lake architecture
  • Delta Tables
  • Delta Sharing
  • Zero-Copy data sharing
  • Bronze, Silver and Gold data layers
  • PySpark and SQL concepts
  • HANA Cloud Data Lake Files
  • External cloud storage integration
  • Spark-based transformation concepts

The objective is not simply to learn individual technologies, but to understand where they fit within a modern enterprise data landscape.

S/4HANA and Enterprise Data Integration

A key feature of this program is its focus on connecting SAP application data with Datasphere.

Participants explore different approaches for integrating S/4HANA on-premise and cloud data, including CDS Views, Replication Flows, Cloud Connector, DP Agent, and other connectivity mechanisms.

The course also discusses the advantages and limitations of different S/4HANA integration approaches, helping learners understand the architectural decisions that commonly arise during implementation projects.

HANA Cloud and Business Application Studio

The program extends beyond Datasphere into SAP HANA Cloud development.

Learners are introduced to Open SQL schemas, HDI containers, HANA database objects, Business Application Studio, terminal operations, and mixed modeling scenarios involving Datasphere and HANA Cloud.

This section is particularly useful for professionals who want to understand how Datasphere and native HANA Cloud capabilities can complement each other instead of treating them as completely separate platforms.

SAP Analytics Cloud and Data Consumption

Data becomes valuable when it can be delivered effectively to business users. The training therefore includes multiple consumption scenarios involving SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC).

Participants learn about Live Connections, OData-based integration, planning-related scenarios, tenant connectivity, and the movement of planning and dimension data between SAC and Datasphere.

Power BI and Excel connectivity are also covered so that learners understand how Datasphere can participate in a broader enterprise analytics environment.

BW Modernization and Migration

For organizations moving from traditional SAP BW environments toward modern cloud architectures, the course introduces BW/4HANA, BW Bridge, Datasphere, and Business Data Cloud modernization concepts.

Participants learn about model transfer, modernization strategies, migration considerations, and how existing SAP data warehouse investments can be evaluated as organizations adopt newer cloud-based data platforms.

Trainer – Sreekanth from Canada

The training is delivered by Mr. Sreekanth from Canada, who brings 22+ years of IT industry experience to the program.

His experience helps learners understand not only how a particular Datasphere feature works, but also why it may be used in a particular enterprise scenario.

The training focuses on practical questions that professionals encounter during implementation, such as:

  • Which integration approach should be selected?
  • When should Remote Tables be used?
  • When is a Replication Flow more appropriate?
  • How can S/4HANA data be integrated with Datasphere?
  • How can Change Data Capture be implemented?
  • How should data models be designed?
  • How can analytical performance be improved?
  • How should security be implemented?
  • How can Datasphere work with HANA Cloud?
  • Where do Databricks and Delta Lake fit into the architecture?
  • How does Business Data Cloud extend the modern SAP data landscape?

These discussions help participants develop an architectural mindset alongside their technical skills.

SAP Datasphere Architecture and Configuration

The course starts with the fundamentals of SAP Datasphere and its architecture.

Participants learn about the relationship between Datasphere and the wider SAP cloud ecosystem. The training covers Datasphere navigation, Repository Explorer, Spaces, Data Builder, Business Builder, security roles, scoped-role assignments, and environment setup.

The program also introduces SAP Business Data Cloud architecture, including foundation services, Data Products, and modern data architecture concepts.

Participants gain an understanding of how Datasphere can become part of an enterprise data platform rather than functioning as an isolated reporting environment.
