SAP BO Analysis for Microsoft Office and BI Launchpad

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I tried searching over SCN but couldnt get an answer to my specific concern.

We plan to use SAP BO Analysis for MS Office on our Suite on HANA. What I would like to know is the installation and access to it.

How I understand this is that this will not be a part of the BI Launchpad like Webi and Crystal (I suppose) and needs to be a separate install on the client machine.

Also how can this then be a part of the BI Launchpad and what will be the limitation ?Can I access it on mobile devices ?

Thanks,

Zain

You can connect to the HANA views and create an OLAP connection in the CMC

I have not tried Suite on HANA but this would be my take

you can mobilize your spreadsheet through Smart Copy to Design Studio or create Web Application ribbon in office

check out week 2 of the Open SAP course for BI clients on HANA - openSAP.com

So it can be used as an OLAP connection( is this for OLAP Analysis ?) to use the HANA views and the Web Application is to use the Analysis for MS ?

I am interested in Analysis on Excel cause the user community feels comfortable with downloading data into MS Excel and analyze it there.

Not sure how design studio fits in here.

Thanks

Design Studio is your path to mobility for Analysis Office - see

For your other questions my guess is yes, but please look at Week 2 of BI Clients and Applications on SAP HANA - James Rapp, Foroohar Rafiei and Harjeet Judge
