It looks like you are new to BOBJ. BI is the service name and BOBJ is the product name in SAP.

Since you have not mentioned your version of BOBJ, I assume you are in the latest version...

To date, there is no direct connectivity available between ECC and BI 4.0 (current release of BOBJ).

You may need to use one of some of the following ways:

1. Using Plug and play Rapid marts (using Data Services)

2. Build your own custom marts (using Data Services)

3. Building SAP BW and using SAP integration kit

Having said, there is a plan for direct connectivity between SAP ECC and BI 4.0 in the upcoming enhancement to BI 4.0.

Please refer the link below for more details:

Hope this sets up your thought process
