Key Benefits And Features

Powerful engine Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Integration Connector for SAP BW (Analytic Integration Connector for SAP BW) provides a sophisticated engine that delivers high-performance extraction from SAP NetWeaver BI using SAP BAPI function calls, the industry-preferred method for retrieving data from SAP NetWeaver BI. With a simple mouse click, the Analytic Integration Connector for SAP BW easily connects with SAP NetWeaver BI for fast access and nearly instantaneous response to end-user requests. End-to-end processing Users can easily access SAP NetWeaver BI to create applications within Hyperion System 9 BI+ Essbase Analytics (Essbase Analytics) and Hyperion System 9 BI+ Enterprise Analytics (Enterprise Analytics). First users browse and select the desired SAP NetWeaver BI QueryCubes and InfoCubes, then the related data and metadata from the selected SAP objects are imported into Hyperion System 9 BI+ Analytic Integration Services to generate Essbase Analytics and Enterprise Analytics meta-outlines for populating the analytic applications. Complexity of underlying SAP APIs is hidden Analytic Integration Connector for SAP BW accesses data and metadata from SAP NetWeaver BI without requiring the user to perform any coding and automatically generates the necessary SAP BAPI calls for information retrieval. Centralized metadata repository The centralized repository stores common data mappings, dimensions, hierarchies, calculation logic, and more. Users can quickly develop tailored business performance management solutions from SAP data.

Easy administration Analytic Integration Connector for SAP BW makes administration easy. It provides highly intuitive graphical design environments, along with reusable objects and services. This saves time and money and frees users to focus on other higher-value tasks.

This enables the loading of the appropriate level of summary data within Essbase Analytics and Enterprise Analytics, while keeping more detailed data within SAP NetWeaver BI. Flexibility in hierarchy creation Analytic Integration Connector for SAP BW enables users to create additional hierarchies within Essbase Analytics and Enterprise Analytics that were not originally found within SAP NetWeaver BI. This saves time and effort because users do not need to first create these hierarchies within SAP NetWeaver BI before importing the metadata.
