The SAP Datasphere Readiness assessment dashboard offers a comprehensive view of the landscape, enabling users to gain valuable insights on their SAP BW environment. The overview screen serves as a centralized hub, presenting a detailed inventory of standard and custom objects, ranging from data sources, ETL components, modeling, and reporting artifacts. One standout feature is the object usage aging report, which provides a historical perspective on how SAP BW objects have been utilized over time. This data empowers customers with the ability to make informed decisions about retiring unused objects, optimizing their system, and reducing unnecessary overhead.

Furthermore, the dashboard doesn’t stop at just listing objects; it also offers a deeper dive into the specifics of currency and unit conversion information within queries and transformations. This level of granularity proves invaluable for organizations considering a migration from SAP BW to Datasphere using the BW Bridge tool. The SAP BW artifacts section of the dashboard takes things a step further by facilitating the generation of a Complexity Categorization report. This report classifies SAP BW artifacts as simple, medium, or complex, providing a clear roadmap for the migration process. Prepared with this categorization, businesses can more accurately estimate the effort and resources required for a successful transition, thus enabling better project planning and execution.
