BW Bridge Deep Dive

As of 2026-05-29

BW Bridge = Datasphere space with BW runtime, connecting to BW/4HANA via RFC. Three modes: ABAP CDS Federation (real-time, source-loaded), Replication to local table (production default), BEx direct (coexistence only). RFC = single point of failure — redundant connection + ODQ_MONITOR mandatory. Bridge-off gate: 30 days production + 100 % consumer migration confirmed. Transitional tool, not destination.
