For which SAP Cloud solution does SAP recommend using the SAP HANA SDI and its OData adapter to load data into SAP BW/4HANA?

Question

Options

• ASAP Ariba
• BSAP S/4HANA Cloud
• CSAP Concur
• DSAP Success Factors

• A
  5% (1)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  90% (19)

Explanation

SAP SuccessFactors is the correct answer because it exposes its data primarily via OData APIs, making SAP HANA SDI's OData adapter the natural and SAP-recommended mechanism for pulling SuccessFactors HR data into BW/4HANA for analytics and reporting.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• SAP Ariba (A): Ariba integration is typically handled via SAP Integration Suite (BTP) or Ariba-specific connectors, not the SDI OData adapter.
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud (B): S/4HANA Cloud uses dedicated BW extractors based on CDS views or SLT replication - purpose-built for BW/4HANA and more performant than a generic OData approach.
• SAP Concur (C): Concur relies on its own REST/JSON APIs and is typically integrated through SAP Integration Suite, not SDI's OData adapter.

Memory tip: Think "SuccessFactors = SDI Feeds via OData" - SuccessFactors is the only major SAP Cloud suite without native BW extractor support, so SAP fills that gap with the generic OData adapter in SDI.
