Introduction

Business Process Library (BPL) is a feature that allows users, especially data scientists, to easily replicate SAP tables into Hadoop. Datavard Glue comes with a BPL content, which consists of predefined business objects. These objects are, in fact, groups of SAP tables and corresponding filters (select-options) that represent ERP objects (for example Plant, Material, Vendor). Advantage of BPL is that data scientist with little to no knowledge about SAP universe can easily replicate data into Hadoop using full load or delta load. BPL supports both Meaningful fields names and Meaningful field values conversions automatically. 

How to launch

The central point of access of BPL is Object Navigator (/DVD/GL80).
