BusinessObjects Data Services
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services (BODS) is an enterprise-grade extract, transform, load (ETL) and data management platform that enables organizations to integrate, transform and cleanse data from multiple sources to support reporting and operational decision-making.

Better data management, reporting and sharing
The Tidal adapter for SAP BODS uses SAP’s native web services to integrate directly with your existing SAP BODS environment. Users can define and manage batch jobs as part of enterprise-wide automation workflows from the Tidal user interface.
Supported platforms:
- SAP BusinessObjects Data Services
- SAP Data Integrator (legacy)
What the adapter enables
With Tidal, you can:
- Authenticate users and enforce role-based access for job actions
- Cancel, hold, resume, abort or rerun jobs from a centralized interface
- Define and schedule SAP BODS batch jobs published as web services
- Maintain full audit trails for job execution and outcomes
- Monitor job progress, status and execution logs in real time
- Reduce latency using asynchronous callbacks rather than polling
- Trigger downstream jobs or alerts based on completion or failure events
How it works
Tidal submits SAP BODS jobs using the SAP-provided web service API and continuously monitors their execution. As jobs complete, Tidal captures the outcome and updates statuses across your orchestration landscape.
Tidal also supports:
- Distribution of control across agents and agent lists for workload balancing
- Event-based automation and calendar-based scheduling
- Output handling and alerting through email or third-party notification services
- Real-time execution status with callback-based monitoring
- Seamless integration with other SAP and non-SAP systems
As a platform-independent solution, the adapter can run on any platform where the Tidal Master runs. The adapter enforces SAP BODS security by authenticating through associations between Tidal runtime users and SAP BODS users.
