HI Deepak,

If consider the the BW OLE DB ... Yes you can do this using XI

To push data from BW to XI, please check

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/biw/g-i/how%20to%2...

To send data from XI to BW please check

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/biw/g-i/integrate%...

But if we consider the Microsoft's application for DB I think you can get some brief idea by this link

hello Deepak

The popularity of the SAP system has a number of advantages to customers. One advantage is that Third-Party independent software vendors (ISVs) develop and maintain interfaces to SAP data, such as OLE for Databases (OLE DB) providers. OLE DB is a Microsoft standard for accessing data sources.

But you cannot get share the underlying PI data and share it with end-users. Because nothing is supporting it.

Most probably ...no direct support....Meaning ..no direct adapter level support

Indirectly...using Java proxies and 3 party vendor tools like Openlink
