BW Modeling Tools

SAP's Eclipse front end for modelling in SAP BW powered by SAP HANA and SAP BW/4HANA, built on the communication framework of ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse.

BW Modeling Tools is SAP's Eclipse environment for modelling in SAP BW powered by SAP HANA and SAP BW/4HANA. SAP's community page walks through an Open ODS View, a CompositeProvider, a query and an InfoObject in it. It installs from SAP's update site into an Eclipse that also holds ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse, whose communication framework it uses, and the install guide authorises it on the system under the URI prefix /sap/bw/modeling/*. bw-modeling-mcp gives an agent modelling tools and describes them as using the same internal APIs.

Where it sits

Provides
Analytic modellingABAPAnalytic modellingcapabilityDefining what an analytical client actually reads — the multi-dimensional layer between stored rows and a chart: measures, dimensions, hierarchies, filters and parameters, and the associations somebody navigates them by. Distinct from [analytical queries](capability:analytical-queries), which is a service answering the request a chart sends, and from [loading a warehouse](capability:warehouse-loading), which fills the tables underneath it.

Before choosing this

Conditions

PracticalFunctional boundary

The standard role its guide names displays ABAP development objects and does not let the user change them, so that role alone gives no ABAP editing. It needs a BW system behind it, and SAP GUI beside it except when working with SAP BW Bridge.
