Analytics Dataset Vs Consumption Layer

[BenedictV]

Hi,

What is the difference between creating a Analytic Dataset in Data Builder Vs Business Builder?

I am following the exercise in : https://github.com/SAP-samples/teched2022-DA160

In Exercise 5 we create a Graphical View(Analytic Dataset) in Data Builder with associations to master data. In Exercise 10 we create a Analytic Dataset (this time in Business Builder) using the view created in Ex 5, but we again define the associations to master data. I do not understand why we have to define the associations again if we are already using the underlying view.

Can someone take a look and help me understand why we need these different artifacts for achieving the same results?

Benedict,

maybe you have heard that on March 8th there was the announcement of SAP Datasphere and with that the Analytic Model. This will further harmonize and on the long run streamline the activities. So maybe you should have a look into that as well.
