Dear Gents

First of all i would like to thank you for reading my problem

Second my problem is that i'm new in the field of BI/BW i have no experience or knowledge in that filed i have a previous experience in the programming field such as C# ,VB.net and SQL server with database concept.

My question is Do i need to read any external books that explains the concept of the Data-warehousing or the SAP academy books such as BW310, BW305 and so are enough and if they are not enough would you please recommend any book title that will help me to get the concept.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You don't find anything you need now in books accompanying SAP courses, I think. I attended most of those courses and even now I don't use those books. They are written only for use during courses.

The book I bought and use is "A Practical Guide to SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse 7.0" (a bit oudated now, but not much).

And read posts on SCN of course 🙂
