BI Java

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I need to execute all BI 7.3 queries in the sap portal nw04s, do I need to install the new BI JAVA? What do I need to install? Can I still use the BEX analyzer. I´m using ECC 6.0 NW 2004s BI 7.3.

Regards,

Antony

To use any web based components, including the 2004s Web Application Designer, Report Designer, or Web Analyzer, you need to have BI-JAVA usage type installed.

You can still use the 2004s BEx Analyzer (Excel) without the BI-JAVA usage type.

It is recommended that you have all 4 usage types installed (AS-ABAP, AS-JAVA, EP, and BI-JAVA) as this is required for full functionality. These can be on a single system or can be 2 separate systems:

1 system:

System (AS-ABAP, AS-JAVA, BI-JAVA, EP)

2 systems:

System (AS-ABAP)

System (AS-JAVA, BI-JAVA, EP)

If I have AS-JAVA and EP installed, do I use sapinst to install BI-JAVA? Can it share db with Portal or has to be separate db? Is BI-JAVA installed on top of Portal? or both Portal and BI-JAVA are on top of AS-JAVA?

Yes, you can use sapinst to do a BI-JAVA addin install. Both Portal and BI-JAVA are installed on top of AS-JAVA on that stack but BI-JAVA requires EP components as well.

Hey Prakash,

For PDF print version in WD ABAP ALV, Note 918236 says BI-Java is a pre requisite. I don't quite understand that. Our Portal is not a BI system and we don't have any plans of using it for BI. There is a separate one for that purpose.

So In this scenario, what would be the solution? Is BI-Java really required for this?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Prakash,

So if BI-Java usage type is not required for 2004s BEx Analyzer (excel), what are the minimum component requirements to run 2004s BEx Analyzer (excel)?
