BusinessObjects landscape design

[former_member633853]

Hi all,

Actually I'm new to BOBJ, just I wanted to know how is the technical design or landscpe should look like for the Bobj setup, I know in SAP the best setup is to have DEV, QAS and PRD systems and each system and specially the PRD can work as DB instance and Central Instance on one Server or two, one for the DB and one for the SAP application.

Now with the Bobj, I did not find any document that can guide me to design the proper landscape for it and how it sholud be interfaced with SAP, is it direct interfacing with the BObj or it's a must to have the NW BI in place for the Bobj to be able to get the data from the SAP ERP system.

I'm very much confused as the Bobj product portfolio is very huge and I want to get any technical documentation that can explain clearly the diffrent options of having the Bobj to run in the SAP ERP running Env.

Also is there any guidance or best practices that states that for each and every Bobj Application I should have a separate server, and what are the diffrent layers setup (DB, APP, presentation) that are available in the Bobj setup.

Please help me get out of this dilemma

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

You might have a look at the following URL: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/bi-solution-architecture

The SAP BusinessObjects BI Solution Architecture topic area provides an end-to-end view on how you can leverage and deploy the SAP BusinessObjects BI portfolio as part of your overall ERP and data warehousing landscape. As starting point, landscape patterns, scenarios, and best practices for how customers are using SAP or non-SAP based packaged applications and data warehouse solutions are covered. The SAP BusinessObjects BI Solution Architecture area is currently based on the XI 3.1 release of the SAP BusinessObjects BI portfolio.

Hope this helps...
