    Abstract

    Clients want to know how to exploit the new features of both DB2 V9 and SAP in their SAP BI environments. This IBM Redbooks publication describes the benefits of DB2 V9 for SAP Business Information Warehouse. It covers best practices and provides performance and tuning recommendations.

    SAP Business Information Warehouse is the central reporting tool for almost all SAP business solutions. It is based on building blocks called InfoObjects that contain data about customers, sales, and business information. InfoObjects include InfoSources, DataSore objects, and InfoCubes. The business intelligence solution from IBM and SAP can help you aggregate and leverage this information, giving you a system-wide view of your business data and delivering it across your enterprise to support sound business decisions.

    This book describes best practices for this product on a System z platform, and provides performance and tuning recommendations for loading and querying data. It also addresses general system administration and troubleshooting.

    The audience for this book includes SAP and DB2 administrators. Knowledge of these products and of the z/OS environment is assumed.
