Scenario
This scenario will show how to push data from BPC Application to BI
Introduction
The Data Manager module in SAP Business Objects Planning and Consolidation, version for SAP NetWeaver, utilizes SAP NetWeaver Process Chains, and provides a way for business users to
execute these chains via Data Manager Packages.
Technical Information to the developer:
Since this development is involved the push data to BI for reporting.
1) A query is developed on BPC application Multi provider. The Bex query is referenced in APD. The filter setting will be done inside the query designer for everytime the user likes to change the
selection in pushing the data from BPC.
2) Create the required BI structures (InfoCube, DSO[Direct Update, Standard], InfoSource, DTP) as shown in screen shot below

2. 3) Data is pushed through APD : Below is the screen shot for the data flow in BI through APD.
Here we are assigning source field to Target. This is a ABAP routine that need to be developed according to the requirement source fields (BPC) to target fields (BI) mapping. Finally the data is
sent to BI direct update DSO in BI and then from Direct update DSO to Standard DSO further to target cube on which BI reports will be developed.
4) Create the Process Chain that will be triggered from BPC Data Manager. This process chain is created on APD, which is pushing data from BPC cube to BI cube as mentioned in above
screenshots.

3. 5) Create DM package inside BPC application to trigger the Process Chain

This is interesting.
Could you provide a business case why you would move the data to a BW cube for reporting vs. reporing on the BPC cube?
Also, you said filter was set in the Query designer. Would this APD load be a full re-load or a delta load. Full loads do put pressure on batch load windows.
Thanks

It will be useful if you can also provide the Sample ABAP Routine which is used to map source fields to Target fields.
Technical names of dimensions (info objects) of BPC cube are subjected to change when we modify the dimensions or the cube structure could change when we do 'Full Optimize'... How does
this work if you hard code the mapping in your ABAP routine ???
