SAP to enhance BICS? Will BEx qry data be available before runtime?

23 Views

We are prototyping using BICS to connect BEx query with Xcelsius.

Does anyone know if SAP has any plans to allow for BEx query data to be shown in Xcelsius during the modeling stage?

As of now it seems the only option is to publish >> Launch. Then you can see how the dashboard design reacts to the data returned by the query. This is proving very tedious and feels like we are designing in the dark.

Surely there is a better way, and if not, is one in the works?

This is impacting our approach and we might opt to build dashboard in crystal or using QaaWs - although BICS is preference.

Thanks,

Matt
