Hi,

SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence 4.0 is installed on any machine ( windows/unix, depending on your architecture). It is integrated with a backend BW(also called BI) system. Now this BW(BI) system needs to be dual stack ( both ABAP and JAVA; as many features of SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence 4.0 requires BW java portal).

You cannot add ABAP ( like an add-on) to already installed java stack. ( though the reverse is possible, but not with NW 7.3).

What you can do now is to install NW 7.3 ABAP as a separate system and then integrate your NW java with your ABAP ( i.e, change the UME from java databse to ABAP in your java stack). This has to be done as ABAP+JAVA installation option ( as a single instance) is not available for NW 7.3 ( exception being for PI and Solution Manager). No further change in SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence 4.0 is required.
