Integration into the Portal - BW

38 Views

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.
