Reporting Services
- Both SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 and 2008 support query on SAP BW/BI “Query” objects
- We do not do table level access
- We access through the SAP XMLA interface to any InfoProvider exposed. This can be a
“Query” object, an InfoCube (of different types) or a Multi-Provider
New features in Reporting Services 2008 include:
New SAP connection string editor.
Support for single sign on.
Improved metadata load times.
Enhanced variable support.
Display Technical Names option: shows the SAP technical name of elements beside their friendly name. Toggled on/off by a button on the
toolbar.
Collections of cubes, dimensions and hierarchies are displayed sorted alphabetically for easy navigation.
Added support for cubes containing two SAP structures: the contents of each structure (key figures and characteristics) can be accessed
transparently.
Simplified SAP variable support: each report is now automatically parameterized according to any SAP variable available in the cube.
Prerequisites

Integrate your SAP BW system with SQL server. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can
extract and load mass data, extraction of hierarchies, BW cubes, tables, BAPI, reports….
A key advantage of ERP-Link’s iNET.BI for SAP connector, is that
it facilitates the loading and processing of an Analysis Services
cube directly from SAP R3, BW ODS and InfoCube structures,
without having to persist data in intermediate relational
repositories
