- Apply strong knowledge of data warehousing concepts (e.g., Star Schema, Snowflake Schema, dimensional modeling) and best practices to build effective and reusable data structures.
- Develop and optimize ABAP routines within the BW environment for complex data transformations and enhancements (e.g., start routines, end routines, expert routines).
- Integrate and harmonize data from diverse sources to create a unified view for reporting and analytics.
Quality, Testing, and Support :
- Perform unit testing, integration testing, and performance testing of developed data models and ETL processes to ensure data integrity and quality.
- Efficiently troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to data loading, data quality, performance bottlenecks, and reporting errors.
