本ブログでは、SAP Datasphere (以下、「Datasphere」) でのモデリング操作の流れを、より分かり易く、直感的に行うためのTips について解説します。 今回は、スタースキーマ、スノーフレークスキーマの設定/定義をするにあたって「E/Rモデル」を活用したモデリングのTipsについてご紹介します。   下記のブログで、Datasphere のモデリングの基本的な操作の流れについてご紹介しました。 はじめての SAP Datasphere Part 3 : モデリング   ただし、DWHやBIの構築、モデリングの経験者にとっては、 「ディメンションの定義とファクトの定義はわかるけど、なぜ、ファクトの定義でディメンションとの関連付け(アソシエーションの設定)をしなければいけないのか ?」 と少しモヤモヤした気持ちになっていたかと思います。 その気持ち….. わかります…… (私もはじめはモヤモヤしました) 。   モデリングの操作手順をもう少し丁寧に解説すると下記の順番になります。 1. ディメンションテーブル/ビューの定義 2. ファクトテーブル/ビューの定義 3. ディメンションとファクトの関連付け 4. 分析モデルの作成   前出のブログでの操作解説では、「ファクトビューの定義/作成」の中で「ディメンションとファクトの関連付け」を行いましたが、より理解を深めていただくために、今回は、この操作を「E/Rモデル」を利用して、直感的に、そして、全体の流れをイメージしていただこうと思います。 もちろん、ディメンションの数が増えた場合には、エンティティ間の関係がビジュアライズされて直感的に分かることはメリットがありますので、是非、この機会に「E/Rモデル」もご利用ください。   前準備 実際に操作を試す場合は、前出のブログのモデリングで作成したファクトビューから「アソシエーション」を削除して再デプロイしてください。削除の方法は、アソシエーションを選択して「ゴミ箱」ボタンをクリックします。 「アソシエーションを未設定にした」ファクトビューを新規に作成しても結構です。       E/Rモデルの作成 左メニューの「データビルダー」から「E/Rモデル」タブを選択し、「新しいERモデル」をクリックします。   まず、最初にファクトである「受注明細ファクト」ビューをキャンバスにドラック & ドロップします。「受注明細ファクト」ビューのエンティティが表示されました。       この「受注明細ファクト」ビューを選択して、プロパティで「アソシエーション」が未設定であることを確認します。  ....

本ブログではSAP Master Data Integration（以下、「MDI））を初めて使われる方を対象にその他SAPアプリケーションとのデータ連携において必要な設定と手順について解説いたします。 本ブログでは私が実際にセットアップした時の手順をもとに注意しなければいけない点等を補足しながらまとめておりますのでMDIをセットアップする際に参考にしていただければ幸いです。 ２    MDIとは まずは今回の主役であるMDIとは一体どんなものなのか解説します。 SAP Business Technology Platform（以下、「BTP」）上で提供されるサービスで名前の通りデータの連携を担うサービスです。 後程触れますが、実際にMDIの機能を利用するためにはMaster Data Orchestration（以下、「MDO」）のサービスのSubscriptionも必要になります。 何のためにMDIが提供されているか、ですが下記の通りアプリケーション間で直接データを連携する「Point-to-point integration」ではなく、「Central integration point」としてMDIを中心に各アプリケーションに保管されているデータを連携することでMDIによる一貫したマスタデータの管理・データ管理における運用コスト削減を目的としたサービスです。BTP上で提供されるサービスですのでInstanceを作成し、このInstanceによって「Central integration point」を構成します。 図1：MDI Concept InstanceとMDIで保管されるデータの関係についてご説明いたします。下記図2はMDIのLandscapeのイメージ図ですが青枠のClientがMDI Instance、緑枠のTenantがBTP Subaccountに該当します。MDIではデータはClient単位ではなく、Tenant単位で管理されます。例えば下記図2のClient1にてデータ変更が発生した場合は同じTenantに属するClient2とClient3にデータが連携され、異なるTenantに属するClient 4-6には反映されません。 図2：MDI Landscape 共有されるのであればなぜわざわざClient（MDI Instance）が複数存在するのでしょうか。それはClientと連携先のシステムが1:1の構成でMDI Instanceを用意する必要があるからです。下記図3はSAP Success Factors、S/4 HANA On Premise、S/4 HANA Cloudと連携する場合に必要なMDI Instanceのイメージ図です。連携するシステムは合計3つですのでMDI Instanceは3つ必要です。後述の設定手順の中でも触れますが各Instanceのパラメータの中で連携先となるシステムのBusiness Systemを設定します。この値によって連携先との関係を紐づかせるイメージです。さらに各Instanceでは書き込み権限などの権限設定が可能です。 図3：MDI インスタンス ３    制約事項 MDIの設定手順に入る前にBTP環境について確認しなければいけない点について共有いたします。 下記の条件を満たしているか確認してください。 [Global Account] Cloud Foundry環境のGlobal Accountである。 [Subaccount] SubaccountのRegionは下記のいずれかである。....
