can SAP NetWeaver BI acts like DBMS for SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI ?

[Former Member]

Hello,

to install SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI for SAP customer, can SAP NetWeaver BI act like Database Management System so i don't have to buy an Oracle or MSSQL DBMS license, as SAP NetWeaver BI supports

• Data warehousing

• Business intelligence

• Business planning

• Business insights

• Measurement and management

• Open hub services

• Information broadcasting

• Accelerated business intelligence

if so, do i need a certain or extra license??

using the integration kit you can connect and report data from SAP BI (BW)

but for the repository of the Business Objects itself, you still need some other relational database, and you can use the free mysql database which comes by default with BO installation.

good luck
