Hi,

Read Data warehousing books written by Ralph Kimball or Bill Inmon in order to familiarize
yourself with the basic concepts of data warehousing. This is the foundation of the entire thing.

Follow the SAP training materials on BW Data Warehousing, BW Reporting and BW Modeling.
There are several books that can help you a lot when getting started. check this link

After you have a solid BW knowledge, start to review the help.sap.com site.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Haritha.

It depends on what you are looking for in the book ...
if you want a good overview on the concepts and modeling aspects etc - I would suggest that you go
through the list of books available under SAP BI in sap press ... also you can go through the
bibliography maintained in the WIKI.

Hi Jacob,

Well for the book you can search in Wiki or SAP Forum.

I have one good article regarding the basic concept for BW itself.

Hopefully it can help you a lot.
