You can access pre-calculated HTML pages in different ways:

·         Using the BEx Download Scheduler

SAP recommends that you use the BEx Download Scheduler as an assistant when you download pre-calculated Web templates as HTML pages from the BW server. More information is available under Offline Scenario.

·         Using a Web folder

As an alternative to the BEx Download Scheduler, you can also use the WebDAV Service of the document storage facility in the content management framework, to store pre-calculated HTML pages locally and easily. (Restricted) offline reporting options are available using this method. You can find further information about the WebDAV service under Implementing External Tools . See also: WebDAV (World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning). You can find additional information about this procedure under Downloading Web Templates Using WebDAVs and Web Folders

WebDAV (BW-BEX)
