SAP Datasphere - Source Code Version Control

SAP Datasphere does not have explicit version mechanism such as GIT integration (Feb 2025).

 But the Datasphere "Package / Export / Import " option can be used for Version Control. 

Steps for version control

1] Develop some tables and a Dataflow in the Development instance of Datasphere. 

 2] The Data Flow object VersionTest_DF is a simple process. 

 3] Package these three objects and Export to the Production instance pf Datasphere. 

e.g. v0.0.1 

4] Import the Package v0.0.1 Package in Production. 

You will now have these in Production. 

The VersionTest_DF of v0.0.1 will be: 

 4] Now, change the Dataflow in the Dveleopment instance of DSP to include a Projection and Deploy it. 

 5] This step does not require any re-packaging. 

6] Export the original package with different version number as v0.0.2 

 7] You can add relevant change description in the Details box of the Export process. 

 8] Import the new v0.0.2 from the Production instance of DSP. 

 9] If you check the  VersionTest_DF Dataflow in Production, now it will have the Projection version. 

Version Control Roll Back

Lets say you have to ROLL BACK to the previous version v0.0.1 

• In the Production instance choose v0.0.1 in the Package --> Import and select the VersionTest_DF to be imported. 
• After import, the VersionTest_DF will be the version without the Projection. 

You can use the same mechanism in the Development instance of DSP as well if you need to roll back you components to an earlier version.
