SAP BODS Basics: A Beginner's Tutorial for Data Integration Success

Are you new to SAP BusinessObjects Data Services (BODS)? This SAP BODS Tutorial for Beginners will help you understand the basics of this powerful data integration tool. SAP BODS is designed to help businesses extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from various sources into a centralized data warehouse. This tutorial will guide you through the key features and processes of SAP BODS.

First, let's explore the ETL process. Extraction involves retrieving data from different sources like databases, files, or applications. Transformation is where the data is cleaned and formatted to meet business requirements. Finally, Loading is the process of moving the transformed data into the desired destination, such as a data warehouse.

In SAP BODS, you create Dataflows to design these ETL processes. A Dataflow consists of various components like source tables, transformation rules, and target tables. For example, you might extract sales data from multiple regional databases, standardize the format, and then load it into a central data warehouse for analysis.

To get started, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the SAP BODS Designer interface, which is user-friendly and offers drag-and-drop functionality. This makes it easier for beginners to design and manage their ETL processes.

For a more detailed guide, check out this comprehensive resource: SAP BODS Tutorial.

a useless decoration, like an ornament on a plastic tree

Title: a useless decoration, like an ornament on a plastic tree

Ship: Lustershipping | Masumi/Yuzu

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V

Rating: T

Word Count: 1,214

Warnings: Choose Not to Warn

Tags: Alternate Universe - Gardenverse, Angst, Kissing

   “I can’t help you, Yuzu.” Masumi replied bluntly yet unable to meet Yuzu’s gaze.

   Hope twisted bittersweet in the sheen of Yuzu’s shiny blue eyes. She nodded and accepted Masumi’s words, though they hurt. They hurt both of them because Masumi wanted to help. She really, desperately did want to help but she always fell short.

   The ace student was just a normal person despite the alleged giftedness in Duelling and academics. Masumi was all bluster and no substance beyond her select skills and talents. She had her limits. She knew them well like the confines of a card, those thin streaks of silver framing on the border of a Duel monster card: like the one she had been turned into as she messed with things beyond her understanding.

   Like interdimensional war, for instance.

   Masumi stormed in, guns blazing but she faltered, more fragile than she had calculated despite having given her all. There was little she could do in the face of someone who lived and breathed survival when she had, all things considered, a pampered existence in a private school’s upper echelon.

   Oh well. There was no use dwelling on the past.

   Even if it did culminate to where she was now. With Yuzu. At sunset. In the gardens on the public penthouse level of the LDS Building. It felt like it was just them at this dizzying altitude.

   And with such a heartbreaking revelation between them.

   Masumi could not help. She wanted to but unlike with playing cards, there was an obvious refute to why she could not help Yuzu and it came down to the differences between them as people. Masumi was a normal human being. Yuzu was extradimensional and impossibly floral as a Florist. She needed someone with scissors and a proclivity towards eating flowers.

   Someone not like Masumi and yet…

   “I don’t mind,” Yuzu murmured, “you care so much about me, I can tell, even now…”

   Masumi’s hand twitched by her side, her fingers curling inside of her palm and tightening. That was true. It was so true, even, that it hurt her feelings.

   “You can still help me in other ways.” Yuzu told her.

   She looked so sick and hopeless, it disgusted Masumi but that was part and parcel with the constitution of a Florist. They were weak, insipid things which withered away on a dime, waxing and waning in health, sometimes in full bloom and sometimes so corpse-like. Sometimes both.

   Like Yuzu, right now.

   She was a garden that walked and talked.

   Her skin was pale, without hale or lustre, no roses to her cheek, except, well, the ones that she grew. Root systems seemed apparent just beneath her taut, gaunt skin like discoloured veins. Petals popped out on the angle of her face, underneath her collar on her throat. Some were full grown flowers, pink and sapping away her energy in order to exist and causing her pain when they did.

   Yuzu’s smile was feigned, it was clear she was putting on a show for Masumi to convince her that things weren’t all bad. That she wasn’t on some brink like a byronic heroine. Masumi, however, could see in absolute clarity that such strength was not true and that Yuzu pined for someone to help her the way she needed it as a Florist. 

   Traditionally, a Florist required the assistance of a Flower Eater. That was their whole thing. Symbiosis was the word, or so Masumi believed. They would treat the unique condition of a Florist better than any doctor, clipping away the flowers and the weeds, restoring a Florist to a better, heartier sight. 

   In turn, the Flower Eater would receive sustenance from these clippings. They might have used tools to cut away the vile flowers that grew off and from a Florist’s body but they consumed them afterwards. That sustenance would then better a Flower Eater’s health. Mentally, emotionally, physically. The whole works. 

   A normal human, like Masumi, could peel it all away, prune it back but the care and adoration of gardening further required to keep a Florist at peace would evade her. They needed kisses, bodily fluids exchanged, to “water” them and someone like Masumi wouldn’t be enough. She would fall short of what Yuzu needed.

   Even though Yuzu encouraged her, seemingly convinced on her lonesome that Masumi would suffice. She continued to try and coax her into an unconventional binding of a Boutonniere between a Florist and a normal person.  

   “Please.” Yuzu urged her, quiet as quiet could be.

   Yuzu swallowed and Masumi watched as her larynx bulged with it, how she bit her lips and drew up her hand. She removed a flower that was latched onto her. She failed to pull out the roots and gasped sharply as she plucked it from her collarbone.

   The flower in question was alien to Masumi’s idea of botany. Florists usually only ever produced one flower which was unquestionably from nature and that was the white rose. A flower infamous amongst the communities of Florists and Flower Eaters as being the ur-example of codependency, or true love if one was an optimistic romantic.

    This flower that Yuzu produced for Masumi was very much not a rose with lily-like petals and anthers, and frilly plumage on the inside and a gradient of white to pink to orange to white again. 

   “Here you go.” Yuzu whispered.

   Masumi allowed her to do as she pleased. She stood, stiff as a board, as Yuzu came closer and adorned her with this flower. She placed it on Masumi’s breast as though it were a pendant. Oddly, it suited her. Even if it clashed with the practical wear that Masumi chose for herself.

   Yuzu flattened it down. She was gentle with ever so slightly crooked fingers. Her nails had some gloss to them. It didn’t feel perverse as she touched Masumi’s chest and mostly the flower, making sure it was affixed to her like a corsage of some twisted kind.

   “It looks good on you.” Yuzu commented.

   Masumi shrugged as she looked down on herself. She didn’t necessarily disagree.

   Yuzu remained in front of her, close to her. Too close, perhaps, as she reached up from Masumi’s breast to her face. She caressed Masumi’s face, admired the hard cut of her cheekbones and smiled a small smile. 

   “Masumi,” she whispered longingly, “I truly do believe you can help me, even if you are an ordinary person because I believe you are extraordinary. You inspire me, I admire you, please.”

   Yuzu then pressed a kiss onto Masumi’s lips and she, too, allowed that. The kiss was desperate - on Yuzu’s behalf, however. Masumi tried not to react even though Yuzu was all encompassingly sweet and soft and chaste. Her feelings were true and burgeoning within her chest. Just like the bushels of the strange, fey flowers that she was beleaguered by. They even seemed to grow some more to prove the point that Masumi held: that she would be ineffectual to fulfil Yuzu’s needs despite the overwhelming urge to help.

   She wanted to help Yuzu and yet, she couldn’t even do so much and little as kiss her back.

   Thus, the decoration pinned upon Masumi’s breast was nothing more than a useless decoration, like an ornament on a plastic tree.

Angeal but Sephiroth and Genesis shaved his beard off.

If not for his outstanding dad bod and manly chest hair, Angeal's mighty dad powers are sapped! He would be rendered a shell of his former dadself, reduced to just being that...buff First no one remembers! A terrible fate.

Sephiroth and Genesis honestly find Angeal's new look extremely uncanny. Good thing Angeal can grow facial hair back almost overnight.

Candy

The humble carrot grows in the dirt,

from the maple tree, sweet sap does spurt,

a cow makes beef inside its bod,

recipe for apple? a seed and sod.

But one could never grow a gummy,

or have chocolate eggs laid by a bunny.

'Cause while some food comes from mother earth,

candy has a more sciencey birth.

Bring heaps of sugar to extreme temps,

and throw in some yummy additives,

maltodextrin, red lake number five,

artificial flavours, naturally derived.

Colours and hues that weren't meant to be,

cooked up in big vats, for you and for me.

So let's all enjoy candy, sweet bounty of science,

but don't eat too much, or you'll need a dental appliance.

- Sam Schultz

Oh, verbal fight, for sure. I'm so glad for this poll, because I've often imagined myself in the cliche self-insert tenth walker role, for the lols, and specifically the "Yes, Frodo and Sam are going to Mordor alone, and I'm going with them!" version, simply because of how Gollum's behaviour towards Sam - terrible in the Peter Jackson adaptation but not much better in the original books, and only slightly better still in what we got to see in the Bakshi adaptation - pisses me off. (Read: Cattiness is NOT the way to a Frodo Baggins' heart!)

So, naturally, I picture myself white-knighting in Sam's defense. For plot reasons, Frodo has to be the way he is towards Gollum, and Sam needs to put all the energy he has towards (eventually literally) carrying Frodo due to the latter's energy being a hundred percent sapped by Gollum's ex-boyfriend (and let's face it, Gollum did objectively "help" them, but he was taking a share of Frodo's energy as well, in the fees.) But as long as I don't disrupt this, if I'm there with them, there's no reason why I can't have a little face off with Gollum any time he gets a little too high-school-bully.....

The best part is, all I would have to do is yammer on about topics I find interesting; I wouldn't even need to directly insult Gollum! Any time he snubs or takes a jab at Sam, I just butt in, usually non-sequitur, and say, "Funny you should mention that; reminds me of something..." And then I start fangirling about the Orcs (Heads up; mostly Bakshi-centric concepts here). Just how cuddly Ugluk and Grishnakh's dad bods look. How even Orcs with huge beer bellies (that I inevitably digress into how much I'd love to lean against and rub) are so dreamily in shape that they can run for hours, days even, and not even be gasping for breath when they do stop. How much I love the eccentric do's a lot of the Orcs have; is it out of choice or necessity that they style their hair so unevenly, or it is just the grease and matting that makes them look like that? Well, I'll let Gollum know after I've had a chance to ask around. Oh, and let's not forget how wonderfully the dresses so many of them wear, frame their forms. If only more folks would adorn themselves like that... And the best part? Not only is it not considered harassment in Orcish culture to lift up and look, but it's actually deemed one of the most flattering things you can do to someone! Maybe even go into another long digression about how I found this out. (Hint; I wear long dresses and skirts most of the time, myself.)

So, there. Let's have Gollum try that emotional vampirism on for size!

This poll isn't very "silly" or funny, but one thing that always gets me about Lord of the Rings is Frodo's compassion for Smeagol, whether it comes from necessity, pity, or fear that Gollum is a mirror of what he himself will become. In the end, Frodo's compassion saves all of Middle-earth, however inadvertently. But what would you have done? Really, truly, honestly?

Personally, I don't think I could or would be kind to Gollum. I don't think I could even be as tolerant as Sam was. But I am also the sort of person who carefully catches bugs to put them outside rather than squishing them, and whose primary plan in case of armed conflict is "be where the fighting isn't." It's very hard to say what I would have done given the impossible nature of Frodo's task and circumstances, and I'll probably have to do a little soul searching before I can answer my own poll.
