In my previous blogpost I basically talked about the necessary settings to make your ERP system "embedded analytics" ready. Now it's time to start "playing". We'll start easy by simply enabling Crystal as a way of "display" (instead of ALV lists).

This is mainly done in customizing. So let's start transaction SPRO and browse to SAP NetWeaver > Application Server > SAP List Viewer (ALV). The accompanying documentation refers to OSS note 1350344. This note describes the compatibility of the CR Viewer (separate software which allows end users to merely "display" Crystal Reports without the need for a full blown Crystal Reports on their pc). It also describes the prerequisites and supported platforms, so I suggest you read it carefully.

The first step with regards to customizing can be found here:

in the next screen, enter the following:

Next customizing step is:

in the screen that follows you basically "allow" Crystal to show a report instead of ALV:

So, how do we now make use of this?

To illustrate I have created a simple InfoSet Query (but you could do this as well on standard reports, your own reports, queries, etc...). Let's run my InfoSet Query "as normal":

This is a "basic" list, right? Ok, now let's show it as a Crystal Report (using the "standard template" - you can change this template or create your own later on). Click the Change Layout button (see screenshot below), go to the View tab and select Crystal Reports via the drop down menu:

The result is as follows (remember we just took the "standard template", so we just clicked continue in the next popup):

That wasn't so hard now, was it?

I have to thank Tammy Powlas for her explanation in Embedding Crystal Reports inside ECC ALV Reports which was a great help with my first steps in the Embedded Analytics "world".

In my next blog I'll talk about "available content".

In my previous blog I talked about enabling Crystal Reports as an alternative to display ALV lists. Now it's time to talk about other, standard ways of displaying "results". Let's see for example what's available for Sales and Distribution.

As a first step, we'll need to activate certain "business functions". We do so via transaction SFW5:

The above screenshot is a little "simplification" as I only show what's necessary to activate. In reality you'll need to scroll down to the Folder ENTERPRISE_BUSINESS_FUNCTIONS first and then to the LOG_SD_ANALYTICS_01 entry.

In the Planned Status column you'll see an empty checkbox (if the function is not activated yet - in our system it has been activated so it shows "Business func. will remain activated" instead). To activate this business function check this box, and then hit the "Activate Changes" button on top of the screen.

In a second step we have to activate the actual BI content. This can be done via transaction BSANLY_BI_ACTIVATION:

(if necessary) change the Business Category to "03 Business Functions". Then select LOG_SD_ANALYTICS_01 and hiet "Activate...". If you're lucky, you won't get the following screen:

We've got all sorts of errors here... first, we had "issues" with our shared object memory being too short?!

with accompanying short dumps

Initially, we “cleared” a couple of those shared object memory objects via transaction SHMM, but eventually we’ve changed the “abap/shared_objects_size_MB” parameter from 20 to 40MB (in transaction RZ11):

Secondly, we received messages about non-existing InfoProviders:

A bit strange as this is exactly what this transaction is supposed to install, right?!

Via some SCN posts we found that one can install a single ODP (Operational Data Provider) via ABAP program RODPS_LOAD_ACTIVATE_SINGLE. So, let's do this for 0OPS_11_ITM.

We repeated this for the other ODPs throwing errors and afterwards our log looked like this:

The TREX error can be ignored. The errors regarding the Dashboards can be solved by running this transaction (BSANLY_BI_ACTIVATION) again but for Business Category "99 Ohters":

We're still missing the role SAP_QAP_BW_DASHBOARDS which is mentioned in the SAP help. We opened an incident at SAP for this and received an answer stating that the role was never intended to be delivered?! A work around is available via OSS 2001264.

So, let's see what this "brings" us... assuming we only have the relevant roles for (Embedded Analytics for) Sales and Distribution (or at least no other role with "Hide Menu from NWBC" unchecked) you'll see this:

The only relevant entry for now is the "Search and Analytics" one (the rest refers to POWLs which we're not using... yet). So, let's click on it

As you can see from the top of the screen this is merely a "launchpad" which is controlled via transaction LPD_CUST. Scroll down to Role = ISR, Instance = REP to see the customizing behind the above screen.

Let's say we would like to see "Top 10 customers (based on incoming orders)":

In order to be able to display this, you need to "change" the settings in the launchpad. If you "follow" the documentation, you should call your embedded BI server "SAP_BI", however in the launchpad you see this:

click on the "Show Advanced (Optional) Parameters"

by default this "Target App. Parameters" was set to: SYSTEM=SAP_BI_ECC_SALES&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X which will result in error messages if you called your system SAP_BI as per the documentation.

I'll try to add more details on this SAP_BI system soon... one important thing I forgot to mention is that in order to get the above to work, you need your ECC system (in which you wish to use this Embedded Analytics scenario) linked to a Portal (which wasn't the case for us).

Hi,

I would like to know how to publish the dashboard objects to BOE from BW. We have installed BI content and activated. Using /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN transaction code, we were able to publish the Crystal reports to BOE. Likewise, I want to know whether we have any tcodes to publish the dashboard objects to BOE.

Kindly advice.

Thanks,

Justin

Hi experts

We have a ERP system that has the components:

SAP_BW 7.31 sp 7

BI_CONT 747 sp 7

BI_CONT_XT 747 sp 7

We have also activated the business fuctions FIN_REP_SIMPL_1 to 4.

I want to activate some ODP's with TransientProviders, but under RSA1 -> BI Content -> More types -> Operational Data Provider (ESH based) there are no ODP's to activate. In transaction RSRTS_ODP_DIS I am also not able to find any ODP's.

Do we need to install something else to be able to see and activate ODP's?

Kind regards

Erik

In my previous blog (from a while back, I know... have been "busy"), I talked about how to setup and use delivered content. Now, what if we want to add our own stuff?

In order to do so, we have to create our own side panel. I haven't supplied much detail on NWBC (NetWeaver Business Client) just yet and I won't here either. There is plenty of info out there. Basically, it's another GUI to SAP systems than the "traditional" SAP Logon. The nice part is that you can attach/activate a so-called side panel to a "traditional" SAP screen without changing the actual screen. You can link your SAP screen with this side panel via tagging. It's merely a way to pass on a value (or values) from the standard screen to the side panel, for example you wish to show extra info on a customer in a side panel, then you need to pass the customer value to that side panel, right? In that case you would create a tag for customer number.

The technology used is Web Dynpro. Don't let that scare you though, I had no experience with Web Dynpro whatsoever before this project either. First thing to do is create a new Web Dynpro Application. One way to do this is to launch the Object Navigator (transaction SE80), go to the Repository Browser (2nd option from the top) and select Package via the dropdown. Now select a package you will use (for example ZBW) and hit display. Position your cursor on the Package and via the context menu select Create > Web Dynpro > Web Dynpro Application.

We need to create a component of type FPM_OVP_COMPONENT:

Once this is done, we need to create a configuration for our application. In your Repository Browser screen, go to your Web Dynpro Application (Package > Web Dynpro > Web Dynpro Applicat. > <your application name> and select Create/Change Configuration via the context menu (right-mouse click). You should see the following (in your default Web browser, mine is Internet Explorer):

Now, it gets a bit "tricky" if you haven't worked with Web Dynpro before (at least, to me it looked & still looks tricky). You first enter a technical name next to Configuration ID and then hit New. In the popup that follows enter a description and hit OK. In the screen that follows, make sure that both "Enable Sending of Tagging Data to Remote Side Panel" and "Enable Receipt of Tagging Data in Remote Side Panel" are flagged!!!

Scroll back up and click Assign Configuration Name (as shown below).

Manually (do not use the dropdown) enter the configuration ID (ZMY_CONFIG in this case) and hit ok. Save this configuration.

Now click on the configuration ID (it should be underlined, hence representing somekind of hyperlink) to take you to the actual component configuration. You can start by giving a meaningfull description (Title) to your page (dark orange block):

Now we need to add 2 components: 1 for the BW query itself and 1 for its selection screen (I know this sounds/feels strange, but that's how it works). We'll start with the selection screen: in the Preview panel select Add UIBB > Search Component via the context menu

enter a technical name for your component, hit enter, ignore the error message and hit Configure UIBB.

Hit Save in the popup and New in the next screen. Enter a description, assign a package and assign a feeder class (CL_BS_ANLY_LIST_SEARCH_FEEDER):

Hit Edit Parameters and enter the technical ID of your query under Parameters

The next screen already tells us something is going to get us in trouble later on...

The "Tag Active" column is empty and moreover we can't seem to change this entry. This might lead to issues later on...

Now go back to your component configuration (either by going back one screen via your normal browser tools or by clicking on the previous "level" on the top line in your screen - should be highlighted in blue).

Now we're ready to add our actual query. So let's add an Analytics List Component:

The procedure is similar: add a technical ID in the Config ID column and hit Configure UIBB, then enter a description and assign a package. Enter your query name (technical ID) or select it from the dropdown. Leave everything else "default" for now. Save.

Go back to your component configuration. You now have 2 UIBBs on 1 page (in 1 section). Now we need to "link" these two components. This is called wiring.

In order to do so, we need to make sure we have an application controller.

Expand the "General Settings" folder and select Application Controller Settings via the dropdown on Floorplan Settings. Enter WDC_BS_ANLY_APPCONTROLLER and hit OK.

Collapse the "General Settings" folder again (or just scroll all the way down) and hit the "Wire" button

(under Transaction there are a few options, but no clue whatsoever as to what to select here - I couldn't find any documentation on this either)

I assume we use the search component as "lead selection" (Port Type) and the list component as "collection", but again... I'm not sure about this as no documentation was found. Upon saving we received an error message that we're missing a "Transcation handler class", so we just "picked" one from the list.

Somehow we still need to maintain "attributes"... it took a while before we found where to do so, this next screen shot shows you where it's hidden

they're shown at the bottom of the screen

The Connector Class is a required field and there's only one option. We need to maintain this for both components. When that's done, our configuration is all set (after saving of course)!

To test it, we go back to transaction SE80, navigate to our application configuration and double-click it:

then hit Display Configuration. This will open a browser windo again where you can hit "Test".

I'll end it here for now as I have some other things to take care of right now. Next time I'll show you how to integrate this information into a side panel (which is the easy part). However, this approach has one big issue (as you might have guessed from empty "Tag Active" column): somehow it's not possible to actually pass the tag directly to the selection screen. We had a web dynpro developer look at this and he couldn't find anything wrong in our setup either. It seems to be "missing functionality". So, next time I'll also explain how to work around this.

Hi BO Gurus,

Does  anyone has installed preconfigured dashboard/reports delivered by SAP in SAP BI 4.0 (for ERP as well as BW)

My queries on this topic are:

1.     What is the version / SP/ FP  required to get these preconfigured dashboard / reports irrespective of domains/industry?

2.     From where I can access them in Bi 4.0?

3.     What is the procedure to install these dashboard/ reports? Is it similar to "BI Content" in SAP BI Netweaver ? Do we need to follow similar procedure (collecting objects, install them and transport them)?

I will appreciate any kind of guidance related to this topic.

Best Regards

Parul

Hi,

Can anybody let me know where I can find list of reports and dashboards made available in latest version of Embedded Analytics BI_CONT 757 (BI_CONT_XT 757)? This package has been releast in May 2013.

I couldnt find any information on this.

Regards,

Girish Oak

Hi Gurus,

I am pretty new to embedded analytics and was wondering, does SAP have a roadmap for expanding the area at all?  We are just starting to set up the embedded analytics internally as a POC per the steps in Raf Boudewijns' four part blog (link to part 1), so I understand that CR and Dashboards are able to be configured for operational reporting.  I am wondering if there is a plan to expand the business suite analytics to other BOBJ reporting tools (e.g. Lumira, BOBJ Explorer, etc.).  Knowing there is a large push for HANA it would seem like expanding the capabilities to other reporting tools would be of benefit in the long run...

I will admit that I am still quite green in this area (I am more experienced with the BOBJ reporting suite, in fact) which prompted this question.  I'm hopeful someone with an ear closer to SAP might know more than me and be able to provide insight into what the future holds for embedded analytics.

Regards,

Chris

First of all, apologies for not having updated anything sooner. Secondly, apologies for this being a very short and maybe not well structured blog, but I promised Christopher Walstrato give an update on how to show a WebI in a sidepanel.

Mind you, this approach will not (always) work with Dashboards (at least not for BO4.0 SP7 Patch10 - for BO4.1 SP1 Patch4 this has been well explained by Koen Hestershere).

Anyways, when you save your BI reports on the BO server (in the CMC), you can access the through an url (using the OpenDocument technology). If you go to the properties of such a report you see both an ID and a CUID (in General Properties under Title). Both can be used, however it's advised to use the latter. Anyways, you can call the BI report through the following url:

http://<your BO server>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<the CUID you just found>&sIDType=CUID&lsS<your variable name>=<value for the variable in SAP internal format>

should you wish to use the ID (instead of the CUID) the url changes slightly into:

http://<your BO server>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<the ID you just found>&lsS<variable name>=<value for the variable in SAP internal format>

the lsS part refers to a "single value" variable, in case you need another variable (or more than one) you need to look up the correct way to address it in the OpenDocument documentation (OSS 1671949 explains where to find this).

Now by just clicking on the url you should be taken to the report immediately (provided that single sign-on has been correctly setup and that you're authenticated).

In order to be able to use the above in a side panel, you first need to create a role (transaction PFCG). You could use an existing role, but for "testing" purposes a separate role is better practice. In this role, you need to add a folder, let's call it "sidepanel". This folder has to be "marked" as a side panel. By clicking on "Other Node Details" you can set this via the dropdown menu of Folder Option. In the same screen block, you need to fill "Application Alias" to indicate for which transactions you will use this side panel. For example if you input the following:

{TR=VA03}

it means that the side panel will be available for "Display Sales Order" (transaction VA03).

Via the dropdown linked to the "+ Transaction" button (small triangle on the right of it) you can add a Web Dynpro Application (3rd option) to this side panel folder.

choose/enter WDR_CHIP_PAGE (for Web Dynpro Application)

and enter a technical name for your application configuration (doesn't really need to exist yet, so for example you can go for ZTEST).

hit Enter.

Now you should see an entry under your side panel folder called WDR_CHIP_PAGE. Use the context menu (right-mouse click) to open it's details. First we need to create a configuration, you can do so via Create:

ZTEST (or whatever name you choose above)

WDR_CHIP_PAGE (should be filled out already)

WDR_CATALOG_ALL (your safest bet)

Once that's done, we can start "configuring" the side panel. Click on Application Configuration for Page (which will open a browser window with a web dynpro screen). Hit Edit (and make sure you don't have a popup blocker active).

Scroll down to Side Panel and check the flags for:

Enable Sending of Tagging Data to Remote Side Panel (WDSIDEPANELREMOTEPRODUCER):

Enable Receipt of Tagging Data in Remote Side Panel (WDSIDEPANELREMOTECONSUMER):

Scroll back up and hit Test (top line). On the right side of the screen you should see three little icons: a person, a wrench and a question mark. Click on the wrench and select Configuration.

Now we need to add a "web chip", so click Add which will open the CHIP Catalog. Use search and enter "Web CHIP". It finds a couple, select the top one. It should display a Google map. That's fine, just hit OK. So now you have a Web CHIP as your configuration.

Next step is to actually add a url. On the top right of your web chip you have a little white icon, which actually contains a drop down menu. Select Define URL. Here you paste the url partially:

http://<your BO server>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=<the CUID you just found>&sIDType=CUID

Next Select Set URL parameter. Here you paste:

<your variable name>

Select Define URL parameter. In this table your start using "tagging".

Name = <your variable name>

Display name = <whatever you want it to be displayed> (I choose the same as my variable name)

Tags = <the name of the tag which should be the value for your variable> (the tag is the value sent from the SAP transaction to the side panel).

Make sure to enter everything correctly as it can be a real cumbersome task to change these settings/values afterwards. As soon as a valid BI report is assigned it will always try to open it immediately (before you can chose edit to possibly change the values). During testing we added a "normal" url (for example www.google.be) and added the tag as it would have been an OpenDocument url. You can check whether it's passed correctly in the sidepanel (NWBC functionality).

Well, I hope this helps. Once again, sorry for the not so organized (no screen caps) way of putting the info here. Also I can't spend any more time on this the next couple of weeks (too much work right now and taking a well-deserved break with my wife next week).

Cheers,

Raf

Back in 2013, SAP announced to the market the SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA. This launch was a special day in our company’s history and marked the beginning of a new era: the one of true real-time business.

This convergence of transactions and analytics has created an unprecedented opportunity to re-think how we do analytics for the SAP Business Suite.

Real real-time operational business intelligence is now possible.

For business users this means instant access to information; the ability to report, visualize, analyze, run simulations and predict the second the transaction or business event happens, with zero latency.

For IT, this means a simplified BI landscape with less data management layers. Large part of the effort in analytics goes into capturing and preparing the data for analysis, 70% according to a latest IDC survey (*). By bringing OLTP and OLAP together in one platform we can dramatically reduce this data preparation
effort and eliminate the need for aggregates and data duplication.

I will summarize our roadmap for embedded analytics for the SAP Business Suite with the following statements of direction:

For customers that are not yet ready to adopt SAP HANA, we will continue to support the BI integration points delivered with SAP Business Suite 7 Innovations (a.k.a. Embedded Analytics).

Customers that are not running the SAP Business Suite on HANA, or SAP HANA Live, can continue to use the embedded analytics capabilities such as ALV reporting, and leverage the pre-built content included in the BI Content Extensions add-on for SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse. With the appropriate BI licenses, customers can also modify that pre-built content or create additional content either themselves or with the help of SAP Partners.

Future embedded analytics innovations and any new analytic content development for the SAP Business Suite will be built on top of the SAP HANA Platform.

The SAP HANA Platform not only enables the acceleration of conventional operational reporting but, what is more important, it allows us to go beyond and offer business users a level of analytic insight they couldn’t have before.

SAP HANA Live is the operational analytics engine for real-time business intelligence for the SAP Business Suite. An easy way to adopt SAP HANA Live is through SAP Rapid Deployment solutions (RDS). There are lots of pre-built Line of Business and Industry BI content delivered for HANA Live which is either included in the SAP HANA Live RDS or available for download in SCN.

Before the end of the year we will also be able to enrich Fiori Analytical Applications with SAP Lumira content to give business users the most complete insight to action experience.

We are very excited to be bringing real-time analytics to the SAP Business Suite. We have already released a lot of BI content and are planning to deliver much more via HANA Live or tightly embedded in the applications. This is just the beginning of what can be done with analytics on live SAP Business Suite data.

Hi

Can you confirm for which ERP embedded analytics scenario below that BW is a pre-requisite - and whether this is a stand-alone BW instance or the embedded BW client within ERP?

1. ERP List Display with Crystal Reports

2. Pre-defined dashboards and crystal reports embedded within ERP using BI content add-on

Thanks

Brad

Hi,

I would like to ask you which is the best way to implement BO Dashboards and Crystal reports connecting directly to the ERP without BW.

Searching about every of this options I have the following:

SAP Best Practices come with some requirements and configuration for the general platform + configuration for every scenario. What I don´t see documented is the way of connecting the dashboards, is it really a direct activation by installing the whole package? Somebody has used them?

Rapid Deployment Solutions:  I know that to activate this you have the Business Content that has to be activated also in BW, in this case as we don´t have BW, couldn´t be an option, is there a way to use it without BW?

Embedded Analytics: I saw an option to activate analytics inside of the ERP by having the Netweaver Business Client, what seems to creat automatically analytics inside of the ERP.

Do somebody know which is the best way and more detail about activated the dashboards and Crystal reports on each solution.

Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Araceli G:

I'm working on an embedded analytics POC (ECC w/ local BW, no Java stack ATM). Right now, I'm trying to view data from the BEx queries in BOBJ, specifically WEBI (4.1 SP3). In the interest of simplicity, I've created a BEx query over 2O0MATERIAL which is very simple (Rows: Material, Material Group, Columns: Comparison Price Unit (just so we have a KF).

Testing the query RSRT yeilds a result, however, this is only when I select the ABAP Web option. If I simply execute the query in the HTML or list viewer, I get no applicable data found.

NOTE: In the interest of determining if this was specific to EA, I created almost the identical query over the physical InfoObject, 0MATERIAL, in the same BW client. In this case, I was able to see a result in both RSRT and WEBI, which leads me to conclude that I've missed something in the configuration of EA.

Anyone out there face a similar issue?

Colleagues,

I imagine this is an OSS message, but since this is still a POC in a sandbox environtment, wanted to post here first because I don't expect an urgent response.

I've implemented the business content for LOG_SD_ANALYTICS_01 successfully in my ECC customizing client. Queries over the transient providers function correctly, however when I run a query over MultiProvider, /ERP/SD_M01, it dumps with the following errors:

• InfoObject 2O-0SALES_UNIT does not exist in version A
• An error occurred when getting data from the processor.
• >> Row: 27 Inc: GET_INSTANCE_BY_IOBJNM Prog: CL_RSRTS_METADATA_ODP
• Error when generating dataProvider

Interestingly, if I manually activate the MultiProvider, the query runs successfully the first time, but only once. After that, it goes back to the same error message. This behaviour is consistent. I've also implemented this on a different sandbox entirely with identical behavior.

I searched OSS and implemented one note already (0001922770), but no luck so far. This is being implemented on NW 7.40 SP05, BI_CONT/XT 7.57 SP03 if it helps.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,

Rick

Last week we upgraded to SAP ECC/ERP enhancement package 7.  We missed a few things and I want to take the time to thank SAP Support for their fast help and responses.

One item I want to highlight is the importance of reviewing the Product Availability Matrix (aka "PAM") before going up on enhancement packages in your SAP ERP system.  I failed to do that this round, and see my lesson learned below.

Figure 1: Source: SAP Platform Availability Matrix BI4.1 (aka PAM)

Note that service.sap.com/PAM will tell you the site has been migration to the new SAP Support Portal support.sap.com - and unfortunately there are no quicklinks to the PAM there (meaning support.sap.com/PAM doesn't work).  I submitted this in the Portal feedback form.

Figure 1 shows Crystal Reports 2013 data source accesses.  Crystal Reports 2013 (and predecessors Crystal 2008/2011) has always provided the best integration with SAP ERP as it has provided connections to SAP tables, SAP InfoSets and ABAP functions.  Having direct access to the ERP tables means there is no data modeling required or extra development involved.  You as the report developer are not required to know SQL or anything else - just report on it.  Of course you don't want to do this against high volumes of data.

However, clicking on the hyper link CR 2013 RTC Data Access provides this:

Figure 2: Source: SAP

Notice the "Source version" column in Figure 2 shows "6.0 EHP6"

I contacted SAP Support who says "Please note that, In Crystal Reports 2013 up to EhP 6 is supported....EhP7 is not supported for CR2013."

OK, to quote San Diego Chargers Coach Mike McCoy "no excuses" from my side, the PAM is the official channel, and I didn't check this before we upgraded our ERP system, but you should for your future enhancements.

Hi Experts

We now run ERP on Hana and we plan to use the BW framework (embedded BI) inside the ERP system for reporting and analysis. The reason for not connecting directly to the Hana database is because we need the support for hierarchies. Therefore we plan to create virtual cubes or composite providers on top of Hana Live views.

So, first we need to activate the info objects that hold the hierarchies we need (profit center, gl account, and so on). Normal old BI content is set up to be loaded with data from the ERP system, but now we actually are in the ERP system. Is there some new BI content available where the master data of the info object is mapped directly toward a Hana Live view? Or do we need to create our own new info objects, as copies of the standard, mapping them our self against Hana Live views?    

Kind regards

Erik

Hi All,

we are trying to activate the BI content for Sales Analytics.

First of all, we activated business function LOG_SD_ANALYTICS_01 and next we started activating the BI Content (business category 03 - LOG_SD_ANALYTICS_01). The activation is not successfull and we get the following error messages:

1. ESH_CO_COMMON 008 - RFC Destination NO TREX does not exist.
2. error saving Xcelsius Dashboard 0XC_ERP_SLS_MGR_PERFORMANCE, 0XC_ERP_SLS_MGR_QUOTE_ORDER & 0XC_ERP_SLS_REP_MY_WORK

As far as error 1 is concerned, we did activate the "NO TREX" via transaction code ESH_ADM_TREX_DEST.

With regards to error 2, our entire goal is to actually use these dashboards, so we're stuck now.

I have run this activation a couple of times already (we had different errors before, such as a couple of InfoProviders that did not exist - solved via OSS note 1830268), but I'm completely clueless about this last error (the dashboards).

Did anyone already successfully activate this content? If so, did you run into problems as described above? If so, how did you resolve them?

Cheers,

Raf

Hello experts,

Could you please assist me in search of configuration guide for Interactive reporting (CRM EHP3)? Does this document even exist? The latest guide I managed to find was for CRM EHP2.

Best regards,

Hi All,

I am quite new to the concept of Embedded analytics and have started investigating it today. I have read many discussions on this at SCN and it would be great if someone can give me an overview on the following questions:

1. IS embedded analytic (WebI, Dasahboards and Design Studio App) available as a set of pre defined reports and dashboards? Is it possible to extend them by adding more reports/dashboards to the existing stack. How easy is that?
2. How does authentication get passed through, Windows AD single sign on?
3. Can we pass parameter from ERP application to the analytics? How do we achieve it? Is it through opendoc syntax or is there an in-built functionality for this.

Thank you for you help

Regards

Tanisha
