The Analysis Process Designer (APD) is a workbench with a visual interface for creating, executing, and monitoring analysis processes. The analysis process is primarily based on data that was consolidated in the Data Warehouse and that exists in Info Providers. Analysis processes (APD) can be created on a graphical user. Data from different data sources in the BI system can be combined, transformed, and prepared for analysis in several individual steps. This allows it to be resaved in data targets in the BI system

Transformations
Examples and Explanation:
To implement an APD, first use the RSANWB transaction to reach the following screen. Steps For Implementing APD
The left panel of the screen displays all the components that can be used to build an analysis process, and the right panel displays the design area where the analysis process is built. Here we will use the General Analysis Process. Right Click on General and select Create as shown below.
Selecting Transformation
Different analysis functions used on the data are grouped under Transformations. These different transformations range form simple filter functions to more complex data mining functions (as shown below). In our example, we will be using a filter in between the source and the output. To do this, drag and drop the filter Icon into the design pane as shown below.
Connection
Now, to apply the filter, we need to supply it with the query output. Drag and drop the connection from the query output to the filter input as shown below. Blue dotted lines indicate that the connection is still incomplete.
The solid black line (as shown below) indicates that the connection is complete. Filter Field selection
Now, double click on the Filter, to apply the filter conditions
Here, you need to specify the fields on which you wish to apply a filter on. Here we will be applying a filter on plane type and Airline
Filter Conditions
Move to the Filter Condition tab and Select the complex selections
Here, you need to specify the fields on which you wish to apply a filter on. Here we will be applying a filter on plane type and Airline We can automatically map fields which have been created on the same info-object.
Click on the automatic assignment button shown below and select Same Info Object as shown below.
We find that The APD implementation has been completed successfully and the result can be verified.
