Need for Portal to support BEx Report (Excel based) in BI7.0

[Former Member]

Experts,

We are on BW 3.5 version and upgrading to BI7.0. We have all the reports so far is Excel Based (no web reporting). Do we need to have portal implemented for our BW report to run after upgrading to BI 7.0? In other words, is Portal mendatory to have to run any BEx Report in BI 7.0 invironment? Thanks.

Hello Nimesh,

No, in BI7.0 BEx Analyzer is still supported. Portal is used only for web reports and if needed these web reports can be exported to excel or pdf. It is not mandaory to have portal to see BEx reports.

Thanks
