Offers powerful analytics and integration capabilities but requires improved upgrade processes
SAP Business Warehouse could have been better. There is room for improvement from a technical perspective. So, from a technical perspective, when we are upgrading a Business Warehouse server or we are migrating from one place to another, the capability required for this upgradation has many manual activities. It took us around a month to streamline our server. Let’s say there are some transaction codes. Transaction code is a set of programs, and when you want to run a program from the backend, you need to hit the transaction code. It is called a T-code. So during the upgrade, many transaction codes get affected, and as a security consultant, it is my responsibility to recheck those transaction codes which are affected. Sometimes more than 100 codes may get affected, sometimes 500, and sometimes more as well. So, it takes a hell lot of time to integrate them again. That is a limitation or defect within the SAP Business Warehouse. SAP Business Warehouse should come up with proper solutions. Upgradation is an automatic activity. It should happen by itself. We just need to initiate it, and the backend SAP server is automatically upgraded. But it should handle the transactional code as well. They should not get absolutely, and any authorization object should not get deleted from the transaction codes. So, that functionality SAP Business Warehouse should come up with.

the most useful feature of the product is object imaging. It is the champion in the world of RDBMS.
Although they already have patches to address the instability of CORV (Create or Replace Views) CASCADE, I believe this is the area that should receive most attention. I am, however, still not sure if the patch has officially been recognised and deployed as part of their version updates. There are a few critical issues/bugs that we have experienced on our production environment, which required intervention from Kognitio. As one of Kognitio's biggest clients, their response times were quick and patches were also quick to be released to address production issues. Also, slabs management seems to be, or can be, a very hands-on tasks especially when reaching its capacity. It will be every WX2/KAP developer’s or DBA’s paradise if the product can be configured in this area to be fully/semi-automated.
