Hi everybody.
I just want to know which driver is used to connect to the SAP BW, when I create a new Voyager connection in the CMC.
Thanks in advance.
Sebastian
Hi Sebastian,
i think that the connection goes over the OLAP processor on the SAP BW side (MDX). Voyager is an OLAP tool. I am not sure if there's some shared code (DLL,lib) among the BOBJ tool portfolio (CR, Webi, Voyager) or if we are can talk about a standalone driver (BO side). But even in this case this should not be a safe information since it can change in future versions.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Stratos

Hi Sebastian,
OLAP BAPI is an API offered by SAP in order to access the OLAP processor. You can use it to send queries written in MDX language (simplified: kind of SQL for multidimensional databases) to SAP BW and get results. This BAPI is used by Voyager, the BW MDX driver in Crystal Reports and the SAP BW client driver for BOBJ universes to retrieve data from SAP BW.
