Universe based on SAP BW

[Former Member]

Hey everybody,

exepting that I've got problems to create Universes based on Multiproviders (an other thread: /community [original link is broken]) I have an other problem with that ones I'm able to create out of SAP Cubes.

When choosing a connection that refers on a SAP BW Cube it starts to import all containing tables.

Usually, when using a sample file, e.g., there is imported non at all and it's possible then to create an new universe (adding tables, create joins, etc.).

After creating the "SAP related" universe this is not possible anymore. But maybe it shouldn't? I dont't know.

Which step or point of the "chain" I don't understand? Or what I'm doing wrong?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

when you create a Universe on top of SAP BI there are no tables because you are talking to the OLAP Engine in BW. The starting point for the Universe is the BI query.

Hi Ingo,

exists a way to use direct acces to infocube to create a BO universe? Is universe on top of a Query the only way we could use?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

take a look here:

It explains the differences.
