BDC and Datasphere orientation card
- BDC = SAP Datasphere + SAP Analytics Cloud + SAP BW private cloud edition + SAP Databricks + SAP-managed data products, on SAP HANA Cloud.
- Embedded analytics for real-time, one-system questions; Datasphere and BDC for cross-system, history, planning, ML and agents.
- SAP-managed data products: SAP maintains them, the source pushes changes, install is all-or-nothing; filter in Datasphere.
- Switch-on path: BTP formation → SAP for Me provisioning → BDC cockpit data package → Datasphere space.
- Zero-copy: share from the catalog (Active, Shareable, Current), approve, reconcile both sides, test access on the partner side.
- BW dates: 7.5 mainstream ends 2027; extended and BW 7.5 in BW PCE to 2030; BW/4HANA to 2040.
- BW path: shrink, lift (BW PCE), shift (Data Product Generator, RSDPS), innovate (SAP-managed data products).
- Every comparison: same timestamp, same definition, same authorization basis.
- Agent readiness: owned, fresh, reconciled data products; agreed definitions; governed master data; gold questions.
- Date every status claim and re-check after SAP events.
