SAP BO - BI 4.0 features

Multisource Universes: An administrator can build a universe (the vendor's term for a data model) drawing on multiple relational data sources. This has been a big competitive weakness in SAP BusinessObjects when compared to Oracle, IBM Cognos and MicroStrategy. I've tested this capability in 4.0 and feel that other products still seem to have a more robust approach. Nonetheless, this is still a big improvement for SAP BusinessObjects customers.

Direct SAP BICS Connectivity: The 4.0 release lets SAP Business Warehouse (BW) customers access BEx queries directly via the BICS (Business Intelligence Consumer Services) layer, a proprietary communication interface for BW, using either Web Intelligence, Dashboard Designer, or Crystal Reports. Going through the BICS layer provides better performance than the APIs previously used. There had been talk of SAP BW being supported as a data source in the universe, but that does not appear to be the case.
Dashboard Improvements: Xcelsius has been rebranded as Dashboards in 4.0. In earlier releases, designers had to use Live Office or Query as a Web Service to bring data into the design tool. Now designers can invoke the query panel directly from the dashboard designer, streamlining the data flows and design process. The vendor has made additional performance improvements as well, with a separate server process to cache results.

Generic Extraction via Function Module

How does the extraction API work in case you are extracting data using a self defined function module with generic delta? Sometimes, if your application or requirement makes it necessary, you have to create your own function module to extract the data from whatever sap system to bw. Therefore you normally make a copy of the standard fm 'RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE'. To make this new function work for you, you have to realize the following. 1) The FM gets called by the extraction API for at least 2 times. First time is for initialization and from the 2nd time on it is for data extraction. 2) Right after the last data package (somehow you need to make sure that it is the last one) you have to raise the exception no_more_data. Example with lots of comments FUNCTION RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE. *"-------------------------------------------------------------------------- *"*"Local interface: *" IMPORTING *" VALUE(I_REQUNR) TYPE SRSC_S_IF_SIMPLE-REQUN
