Interoperability Between Analysis and Other Clients

in 2010 based on BI 4.0

Analysis state is captured in a query object called analysis view that is shared between products in the SAP

BusinessObjects suite (similar for the BEx query view in the BEx Suite)

The analysis view captures the view on the data including filters and other features it is stored in BI platform

SAP BusinessObjects Analysis can create and consume the analysis view, The first clients who are able to

consume it are Crystal Reports & Web Intelligence. Each tool interprets the analysis view in a way that is

consistent with its native environment

SAP NetWeaver BW data.

SAP Business Objects Enterprise (BOE) XI 3.1 (can run side-by side with SAP NetWeaver

BW)

See next slide for information about platform capabilities

Client Sizing: See SAP note 1466118

** Requirements may be higher for other clients

*Please note: these are preliminary statements .The statements remain to be finalized once Analysis, edition for MS Office becomes available.

Lifecycle Management

Interoperability with other clients: Web Intelligence, Crystal Reports and SAPBusinessObjects Analysis, edition for OLAP based on Analysis View

Although technically possible and good for testing purposes direct operation of the Office

Add-In on BW without BI platform is not recommended for productive usage (mainservices like central repository, interoperabilty, and so on are not supported)

*Please note: these are preliminary statements .The statements remain to be finalized once Analysis, edition for MS Office becomes available.

SAP Business Explorer (BEx)

Maintenance

BEx 7.0 continues to be delivered with the next SAP NetWeaver BW releases. At this

point in time, theres no planned end of life. The maintenance period is renewed with

every major BW release.

BEx 3.5 is part of BW 3.5/SAP NetWeaver 04 and the maintenance cycle is coupled to

this release (see SAP note 1410878). As BEx 3.5 is also compatible with a BW 7.0

backend and had been delivered with BW 7.0, SAP will maintain BEx 3.5 functionalitywithin BW 7.0 and subsequent releases until the end of BW 7.0 maintenance cycle.

Maintenance is NOT extended with BW 7.30 or other future releases. Note that full PAM

support of BEx 3.5 cannot be granted by SAP as Microsoft has removed, e.g., supportfor some components within Windows 7 that had been used by BEx Web Application

Designer 3.5.

Also see: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/bex

Coexistence BEx Analyzer and Analysis, edition for MS Office You can install BEx and Analysis on a single PC.

Only one add-in can be active in an Excel session (in other words, either BEx or Analysis

can be active)

Opening a BEx workbook activates the BEx add-in.
