IDT(universe) over the ECC system

[lakshminarasimhan_n4]

Hi All,

We have ECC, BW & BO in our landscape.  We have Enterprise BO 4.1 SP 9. BW 7.3 & ECC 6.0.

For few reports(WEBI), user want to see the data from ECC not from BW ( They want to save on data load time).

In case of BW, using OLAP connection i was able to create WEBI reports based on BEx as the datasource,

In case of ECC, i checked the blogs and know that we will not be able to use ECC table directly, we need to create

* Infoset Query

* ABAP Query

* Function module

Let me know, if my understanding is right?

Infoset query and ABAP Query i have knowledge.

Can someone update on how a "Function module" be used in ECC to pass data to the IDT?

Should be create RFC enabled FM(BAPI), Is there any document on the same.

Thanks.

Hi Lakshminarasimhan,

You are correct.

The ABAP Functions are exposed to IDT for Universe development.

The Data Access guide has the information

here is the link - check the bottom left of the page for the guide.
