Oracle Database 10g Status at SAP

?SAP AG is Active Beta Partner?SAP Product Certification planned

with Oracle Database 10g in early2005

First results of 10g tests at SAP?SAP R/3

– R/3 4.6C test system successfullyupgraded from 9.2 to 10g Beta2

?SAP BW– Upgrade of BW 3.1 database from

9.2 to 10g Beta2 failed?Problem has been identified and is fixed

in production release– Drop performance of typical SAP BW

partitioned tables with local indexeshas improved by a factor of 10

– Size of bitmap index does notdegenerate anymore when doing DML

Advantages of SAP-ODM Integration?Openness/Flexibility

ODM complements SAP’s existing data miningalgorithms providing a larger spectrum of miningmethods for analytical applications of SAP.

?Performance ODM operates directly in the database, so there is no

need to transfer data into the SAP application server.?Training

Mining models can be trained in the SAP BW databaseleading to low model build times.

?Prediction Predictions on large amount of data can be performed in

the database leading to low mass-data prediction times inSAP BW and mySAP CRM applications
