Data Synchronization Tasks with SAP BW Overview

You can configure a Data Synchronization task to synchronize data between an SAP BW source and a target. You can use the Data Synchronization Task wizard to configure the Data Synchronization task.
You can use SAP BW objects as sources. You can read data from InfoCubes, InfoSets, MultiProviders, and DataStore objects. You can use expressions to transform the data according to your business logic and use data filters to filter data before writing it to targets.
Note: You cannot perform a lookup on an SAP BW object.
When you create a task, you can associate it with a schedule to run it at specified times or at regular intervals. You can also manually run a task. You can monitor tasks in the activity monitor and view logs about completed tasks in the activity log.
