Hello All,
I have been tasked with integrating our BW system into our Portal (EP7
NW2004s Java only SPS08). I am following the instuctions given in the
transaction SPRO>>Sap Netweaver>>Business Intelligence>>Report-relevant
Settings>>BEx Web>>Integration into the Portal, as well as referencing
those given in note 917950.
Within the "Integration into the Portal"
document(s), in the "Maintain Portal Server Settings for the Portal"
section it says to maintain these settings in the RSPOR_T_PORTAL table:
BI Directory Provider: true
BI Documents for InfoProvider: <KM_REPOSITORY_PATH>
BI Documents for Master Data: <KM_REPOSITORY_PATH>
BI Documents for Metadata:<KM_REPOSITORY_PATH>
I became confused at this point with the "KM_REPOSITORY_PATH." Further
reading of directions states: "The properties BI Documents
forInfoProvider, master data and metadata contain the paths to
Knowledge Management. Prior to the migration of the BI documents, the
path corresponds to the prefix of the Repository Manager for BI
Documents" In section 11 of this document it goes over "Repository
Manager for BI Documents." In this section it describes configuring
the "BI Document Repository." I've looked in the Portal where the BI
Document Repository should be, but it is not there.
After searching around a bit on SDN for a clue, I found a thread that
says I will need the BI usage type installed on my Portal in order to
get the necessary BI Repository manager.
I'd like know wheather or not I do indeed need to have the BI usage
type installed to configure the connection of BW to the Portal. If this
is the case could you please point me in the right direction to get
started. I have a message posted on OSS, but they are being a little slow in getting to it.
Thanks so much.
