SAP Business Objects Explorer on top of SAP BW

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

My Requirement:

-  Use BO Explorer on top of SAP BW ( no HANA, no BIA ). This is to provide the users a set of related data and they can analyse the way they want.

Question-1:

- What should be the BW data volume that I should keep in mind for BO Explorer to have good performance. My concern is primarily because we don't use BIA or HANA.

Question-2:

- Can BO Explorer directly connect to a BW Infocube/Multiprovider or it has to connect only through Universes

Regards.

Hi Rekha

For question 2, I believe this here can help you out:

For question 1: My experience is that BO Explorer is quite performant. We have a relatively small BO system (2CPU cores, 12GB RAM). Indexing a dataset of 500k rows with 20 characteristics and 25 keyfigures takes around 4 minutes.

regards

Josef

Hi,

I will suggest you Go for SAP Business Objects Analysis, edition for Microsoft Office,ity can connect bex query directly & Bw/Infocubes also.

Regarding Performance we can do In BI Itself depends on Business needs,: modelling , extraction, reporting 3 levels in BI .

Hi,

i cannot answer your Question number 1 but performance has always something to do with the report design and the Universe Design. Maybe you want to check the following Note about Best PRactices for Universe Design.

With regards to your second Quetion, you need a Universe.
