Unable to create Business Foundation Layer in XI4 IDT using OLAP connection

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created a BICS connection against an SAP BW cube and want to use this connection in order to build a Business Layer in XI4 Information Design Tool. When I try to map this connection to the business layer, it errors out "Error occurred during connection selection - Connection is not supported".

I'm currently using BO XI4 SP1 and SAP BI NW Eh1 SP6.

Can anyone throw some light on how to create a Business Layer/Universe against an SAP BW cube?

Also, can we query ECC systems using the new semantic layer in XI4 from WebI?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

using new BO 4.0 It is not possible to create Business Layer from BW Connection to create Web intelligence Report.

You have to create only the connection OLAP with your BW System, publish it and use it directly as a Bex Source when you have to create your report using from Web Intelligence.

Data Foundation and Business Layer are layers only for Relational Connection

I hope this help you.

Bye.

Hi,

I'm getting the same error. Did you already solve the problem?

Kind regards,

Edit:

Hi,

i found this in another thread:

[Information Design Tool and SAP BICS|;

Seems like SAP doesn't want to enable Universes on OLAP-Connections?!
