Overview - Integration

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. PUBLIC 11

SAP Data Intelligence – Data Integration

Integrate any kind of data (structured, unstructured or streaming), with

any pattern (real-time, near-real-time, batch), enrich it, refine it and
feed process it
© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. PUBLIC 12
SAP Data Intelligence – Data Integration
Build Flow-based Applications using the Pipeline Modeler

• Data pipelines = Flow-based applications

• Drag-and-drop operators (independent computation units)
• Data (messages) flows between operators
• Combine and switch between integration styles:
streaming, batch, replication, virtualization, migration, etc.
• Extensible
• Over 250 pre-defined operators (data integration, connectivity,
processing, data quality, ML . . .)
• Custom and partner operators
• Microservices via APIs
• Wrap any scripting
• Scalable
• Containerized – Docker containers constitute the operators’
execution environments
• Distributed – Easy horizontal scaling
• Reusability
• Create complex, multistep, reusable data pipelines and
operators

operator pipeline in the connected ABAP system – for example, to call a function module

Integration requires a certain system level, planned for SAP S/4HANA 1909, SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1908, and SAP NetWeaver 7.00 with DMIS 2011/2018 Q4/2019 version, or higher.
Certain functionality can be made available for SAP Data Intelligence for certain release levels.

SAP Data Intelligence | Out-of-the box operators
Data Lake integration

Predefined operators to consume and interact

Read File Operator Operator that reads the content of files from various storage services.

Write File Operator Operator that writes files to various services.

Structured File Consumer Operator reads from any supported cloud storage.
The operator produces structured output, and you need to connect it to other operators from
Structured Data Operators category.

License models on Cloud
SAP BTP Plans and Pricing (link)
• Available in the cloud as subscription and consumption-based
model (link for details)
• A Data Intelligence Node is a compute node that includes up to 8
CPU cores and up to 32 GB RAM
• Capacity Units are the number of units consumed by the usage of
the services and are tied to the consumption of infrastructure
resources (compute and storage)
• Minimum volume: 3,000 Capacity Units per month

New Cost Management Features

• Hibernation
• Customers can now hibernate the DI Nodes when not in use and will
not incur costs during hibernation except for any persistent storage
• Hibernation can be scheduled* by customers

• Autoscaling
• Customers automatically scale their deployment based on resource
requirements and user defined resource limitations
• Billing and metering is recording system usage based on scale up /
down on an hourly basis

© 2022 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. PUBLIC * Check the current limitations 38
SAP Data Intelligence
Estimating the required usage
Sizing Calculator: Link to online calculator
• Determine the required amount of Capacity Units based on the
chosen Data Intelligence services and usage volumes
• How to use?
• Data management & orchestration services:
• Users: Add the relevant amount of concurrent total and
Jupyter users
• Pipelines & Jobs: Add the relevant amount of active,
concurrent pipelines or jobs

Example: Data Management & Orchestration Services
Data Management & Orchestration Services Project
▪ Services for executing data pipelines or jobs for data preparation, data profiling or metadata extraction
▪ ML services are now included in the DI Node and pipelines making use of ML capabilities (R, Python, TensorFlow) are considered large
pipelines for the purposes of estimation calculations

Example: Execution of different pipelines and jobs to manage and orchestrate data
▪ 100 small pipelines (each 0.5 GB), 30 medium pipelines (each 1 GB) and 20 large pipelines (each 1.5 GB) -> Consumption of 100*0.5 GB
+ 30*1 GB + 20*1.5 GB = 110 GB memory
▪ 2 jobs extracting metadata into Metadata Explorer (each 1 GB), 2 jobs browsing and data profiling of connected systems (each 1 GB), 2
jobs executing data preparation processes of connected systems (each 1.5 GB) -> Consumption of 7 GB memory
▪ 3 concurrent users -> 8.7 GB of memory
▪ Memory consumption and nodes required
– Pipelines, data jobs and users: 125.7 GB memory
– Workload by basic system components (mandatory components to run the platform): 64 GB memory
– Total consumption of 189.7 GB memory -> Need for 6 Data Intelligence nodes (each 32 GB)

▪ Node hours per month: 6 * 720 hours (24 hours x 30 days) = 4,320 hours
▪ Capacity Units per month: 4,320h * 1.36 (Value of Data Intelligence Node) = 5,876 Capacity Units (rounded up)

Deeper Application Business Content & Extend

Integration Templates Span of Connectivity
Align integration model Extend both SAP-led and partner-led content Support more cloud services (e.g. DWHs),
to consume and interact with Apps store for pre-packaged industry and LoB content and additional data sources

Synergy with HANA Get (even) Open Data Catalog and Unified & Hybrid
Cloud, DWC and SAC Smarter end-to-end Governance Technologies
Tighter integration of the BTP UD&A Apply ML and intelligence where possible. Extend metadata exchange and improve Fine tune consolidation and alignment
portfolio Augmented Data Integration & Active Metadata integration with 3rd party catalogs. Make data with on-prem EIM portfolio, enabling
& Data Governance, Automated Data quality rules smarter, and add enforcement for hybrid data fabric scenarios
Classification, Quality and Monetization data privacy rules. Improve collaboration

*This is the current state of planning and can be changed by SAP at any time
