Re: Pulling Data From SAP

Hello Captain,

welcome to the ReportServer forum.

I am afraid, that I can't tell you much. We have not tested ReportServer against SAP BW so far. However, depending on what you want to achieve there might be workable approaches. As I understand it, SAP BW exposes its data as an XMLA datasource. This you might be able to access by using a "Mondrian datasource" (which should really be called OLAP datasource) in ReportServer and then use a Saiku report to connect to it. The mondrian datasource is XMLA compliant and we have successfully tested it against Microsoft Analysis Services. If you search for SAP BW and XMLA you'll find lots of information on the web. For example, the following page provides the basic configuration options: https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/curr … howto.html. According to this, the connection URL should be

http://[domain:port]/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla?UserName=USER&Password=PASSWORD

Note that you probably have to put the username and password into the URL.

Besides trying the XMLA integration, have a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpda … ameset.htm which lists possibilities of extracting data from an SAP BW system.

I hope this gives you some pointers to start investigating. I would be very interested in how this turns out, so it would be fantastic if you post any workable solution here.

Best Regards,
Thomas
