Which features from SAP BW powered by SAP HANA have been decommissioned in SAP BW/4HANA? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question

Question

Options

• AProcess Chain Maintenance (TC. RSPC)
• BCustomer Exit Variables using RSR00001 (TC: CMOD)
• CData Source Repository (TC: RSDS)
• DReal-time Data Acquisition (TC. RSRDA)

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  90% (26)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

In SAP BW/4HANA, Customer Exit Variables via RSR00001 (B) were decommissioned because the older ABAP user-exit approach is replaced by BAdI-based variables, which align with BW/4HANA's modern, simplified programming model. The Data Source Repository (C / TC: RSDS) was also removed, as DataSource management was consolidated into the Administrator Workbench (RSA1) and Eclipse-based tools, eliminating the standalone repository transaction.

Process Chain Maintenance (A / TC: RSPC) is not decommissioned - process chains remain a core scheduling and automation tool in BW/4HANA, fully supported for orchestrating data loads and other background processes. Real-time Data Acquisition (D / TC: RSRDA) is a distractor because while RDA capabilities evolved, it is not listed among the specifically decommissioned features in the BW/4HANA simplification list the same way B and C are; ODP (Operational Data Provisioning) covers modern real-time/delta loading scenarios.

Memory tip: Think "BC = Bye Customization" - both removed features (B: Customer Exits, C: DataSource Repository) represent older customization and management approaches that BW/4HANA replaced with cleaner, more modern alternatives. Process Chains (A) stay because scheduling is fundamental; RDA (D) is a trap because it sounds "legacy" but isn't in the same decommission bucket.
