Accessing SAP BW from a Third party reporting Tool.

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are trying to acess SAP BW using a third party tool for reporting purpose.

We need a url to access SAP BW (something like http://host:13080/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla

SAP BW should have fully functional Web services interface (XMLA Standard protocols)).

Presently our SAP BW has only ABAP Stack installed and no Java Stack.

To get a URL as mentioned above do we need a Java Stack to be installed?

I am not a SAP developer and hence need a confirmation on the above question.

Some documentation associated would also be usefull.

Thanks and regards

You don't need a JAVA stack for this.

The URL you're talking about is a service in txn SICF.

To use it however, the service should be active (right-click -> activate service).

Thanks for the response

May be you are telling abt SAP GUI

the url for it is like

http://<fully_qualified_hostname>:<http_port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!

But I need to use that URL to connect to SAP BW which needs some XMLA protocol.

Any suggestions on same..

Thanks and regards
