Setting Up SAP BW Bridge: A Guide to Getting Things Running 🚀
Are you ready to launch into the world of SAP BW Bridge and unlock the full potential of SAP Datasphere? Imagine you're an astronaut, and the SAP BW Bridge is your trusty spacecraft, flying through the clouds of data! 🌥️
But wait, before you can blast off, you need to make sure everything is set up and ready for launch. Here's a fun and relatable guide to help you navigate through the setup process:
Step 1: Log in to SAP Datasphere (Your Space Station) 🌌
The first thing you need to do is get your SAP Datasphere account activated. You’ll get a welcoming email with a link to connect to the server. Once you're in, create additional users and assign them roles as needed.
The next task: Ensure that your BW Bridge connection (BWBRIDGE) is working well. You’ll need a special key, the SAP BW Service Key, to access the BW Bridge from the BW Modeling tools. It’s like your VIP pass for the galaxy! 🎟️
Step 2: Create Your SAP BW Bridge User (Your Co-Pilot) 👩🚀👨🚀
In addition to the SAP Datasphere user, you’ll need to create another user specifically for SAP BW Bridge. Think of it like your co-pilot who will help navigate the spaceship. Both users share the same password, making things a little easier on the way to the stars!
Step 3: Prepare Your Tools (Get Your Spacesuit Ready) 🧑🚀👗
Before diving into the SAP BW modeling, you need the right tools. This means installing the SAP BW Modeling Tools (BWMT) and the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or SAP HANA Studio. These tools are like your spacesuit, providing you with everything you need to explore and work in the SAP BW Bridge universe.

Create a new BW Bridge project, connect it to your SAP Datasphere tenant using the service key from Step 1, and you're all set to start modeling objects.
Step 4: Prepare Your Connection to SAP BW Bridge Source Systems (Linking to Other Planets) 🌍
To bring data from external systems, you need to establish a communication channel between your on-premise systems and SAP BW Bridge. This is where the Cloud Connector comes into play! It links your source system (on-premise) to SAP BW Bridge, like connecting your spaceship to other planets for resources.
Following steps are a must!!
Make sure your source systems are properly configured and added to the Cloud Connector, so SAP BW Bridge can pull data from the external systems seamlessly.

Step 5: Set Up the Transport Request (Pack Your Bags!) 🧳
Before you can launch your models into the cloud, you need to organize your transport requests. You’ll create a software component in the BW Bridge cockpit and assign all objects to an ABAP Development Package. No objects can be left in the temporary $TMP package—everything needs a permanent home, like packing your bags for the journey.
Once your transport request is set up, you’re ready to move forward and start creating models and loading data to SAP BW Bridge. 🌠
You're Ready for Launch! 🚀
With all these steps completed, SAP BW Bridge is ready for action. Next, you’ll be able to start creating objects, loading data, and sharing information between SAP BW Bridge and SAP Datasphere. Get ready to model, analyze, and transform data like never before.
