BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 Connectivity

20 Views

Hello everyone, we are currently running Enterprise Portal 7.0 on a Wintel Platform.

We have setup our portal to connect to a backend BI 7.0 system and have installed the BI-Java component onto the server as well.

My question is, with this setup in place, could I still establish a connection to a backend BW 3.5 system to do BW reporting?

There is a concern that the portal cannot point to both a BI and BW system. The reason being that the portal cannot have 2 BI-Java components installed; however, I don't think that an addition BI-Java component is required for BW reporting.

We have tested BW 3.5 reporting in the past and it worked right out of the box.

Does anyone have any feedback?

Thank you in advance,
