Selecting a System
Use
Before you can choose a query template, you must first select a system. The list of available
templates varies depending on the system you have selected.
Prerequisites
• You must be connected to a portal to see the list of available systems.
• You must have at least one BI system defined in the portal. A BI system is a system
based on:
{ A BI Java Connector:
BI XMLA Connector
BI ODBO Connector
BI JDBC Connector
BI SAP Query Connector
{ The SAP Connector against a BW system
Procedure
...
1. In the Available Systems section, expand the category of connections you want to use.
Select the category to display additional information, if available, in the Description and
Properties sections of the screen.
2. Select the data service upon which you wish to build a query.
Only valid BI systems with which you can use the BI Query Wizard are
displayed.
Additional information, if available, is displayed in the Description and Properties
sections of the screen.
3. Click Next.
Result
You proceed to Select a Query Template [Page 57]. Future steps in the navigation trail
update based on the data service you have chosen.
If you have selected a BW-native data service in the BW Web API Connections
category, you may only work with available query views, and you therefore
bypass the Select a Query Template screen and go directly to Select a Query
screen. See Working With BW Query Views [Page
120] for more information.
