BW as a webservice

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have an existing portal which is running on SAP Application Server, which has ABAP codes. to connect and read SAP bw reports.

We are developing an external j2ee web pages which can access the reports.

We were thinking if we can publish the BW reports as web services and create an external consumer web service application.

Is this possible? What changes we may need to do on SAP end?

Thanks for any reply.Reposting this from Business Intelligence >data warehousing forums.
