BI master system in EP

[Former Member]

Hello!

What does the "BI master system" in EP mean? Why it should be only one? Whether it is possible to adjust broadcasting and UDC for several BW systems?

HI

The BI Master System property means that the BI system is the central store for the portal. The BI master system is used to read and execute Web templates. The executable BI Web runtime requires one BI master system within a portal.

if you configure more then one BI system then You receive the following error message when you execute a BEx Web Application Java:

"More than one master system found"

Each SAP Web Application Server Java always has precisely one SAP Web Application Server ABAP, which serves as a BI master system. The metadata for Web items and Data Providers is read from this system, for example, and this is the only system from which you can start Web templates and Enterprise reports.

your application connectes to BI system using alias "SAP_BW". can you define two "SAP_BW" alias in one portal? you can't.

If you want to display Web templates that originate from more than one SAP Web Application Server ABAP in an SAP Enterprise Portal, for example, you can use the Global Portal technology(FPN -Federated Portal Network).

p.s: Note 919197 - Troubleshooting: More than one master system found
