Comprei o livro baseado nos comentários, e nas informações divulgadas pela editora. Na contracapa a editora escreve: “the most updated information on how to use SAP BW to design, build, deploy, populate, access, analyze, present, and administer data.” Na verdade, em vez de “how to use” deveriam escrever “theoretical guide”. Eu fiz um dos cursos de BW da SAP, aquele que ensina a trabalhar com as queries de BW e ferramentas relacionadas. No curso aprendemos a trabalhar com os infocubos, mas não a criá-los. Como o livro recomendava a si mesmo para os leitores que querem informações sobre como fazer o design achei que seria interessante. Vou no índice procurar por “infocubes, design”: sabem quantas páginas tem? Uma (1), apenas descrevendo teoricamente o que é um infocubo. O livro mais decepcionante que comprei nos últimos anos.
Rating: 1 / 5
This book is a gem – an asset to professionals or starters in SAP BW. Not surprising given the credentials of the authors. But there are many very very serious typo errors. Obviously there was little or no proof reading done. Its a shame on Wiley publications !
Rating: 5 / 5
This gives you good functional overview but not details for developers.
Rating: 3 / 5
If you are new to SAP or BW, do not read this book. No step by steps or walkthroughs. I had to constantly goto help.sap.com to understand the concepts.

I had the first edition of the Book and some of the best ideas of SAP BW I indeed picked from this book. This is certainly for people more interested in the architecture of SAP BW not so much for people looking to build Step by Step. Highly recommended for people who are looking to design from first principles (offcourse from a Software package point of view) of how SAP BW core is coded and behave. Wish it may have covered the extraction bit, for standard areas atleast, in much more details though.
