Norddeutsches Chapter der CWG
Sehr geehrte SAP Variantenkonfigurationsnutzer und –Nutzerinnen und User der CWG. Auf der letzten CWG Konferenz in Prag wurde diskutiert, ob es nicht endlich an der Zeit wäre, ein norddeutsches Chapter der CWG zu gründen, um uns auch im hohen Norden mit Ideen und Fragen rund um die SAP Konfiguration intensiver und besser austauschen zu können.
Technical Companion: Building an AI-Ready Dataset from SAP Variant Configuration
Scope
This companion documents the engineering behind the flattened configuration dataset described in the blog post: the SAP tables involved, the join spine, the point-in-time validity logic, a simplified version of the query, and the options for replicating the source tables into a lakehouse. It is written for data engineers. The blog post covers the business case.
