2. SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence
• SAP Netweaver Business Warehouse (SAP NetWeaver BW) the
name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data
Warehousing solution produced by SAP AG. It was originally named
SAP BIW (Business Information Warehouse), then abbreviated to
SAP BW, but is now known as "SAP BI" at the end user level. In
contrast, "BW" is still used to describe the underlying Data
Warehouse Area and Accelerator components. It is often used by
companies who run their business on SAP's operational systems.
• BW is part of the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. Other
components of SAP NetWeaver include SAP Enterprise Portal (EP,
called SAP NetWeaver Portal as of Release 7.0), Web Application
Server (WAS), SAP Process Integration (PI, or previously XI, i.e.
exchange Infrastructure) and Master Data Management (MDM). It
also includes end-user reporting tools such as Report Designer, BEx
Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer and BEx Analyzer.

4. Structure
• It may be helpful to consider layer that make up the structure of SAP's BI solution:
• Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) layer - responsible for extracting data
from a specific source, applying transformation rules, and loading it into the Data
Warehouse Area.
• Data Warehouse Area - responsible for storing the information in various types of
structures (e.g. Data Store Objects, Info Objects and multidimensional structures
called InfoCubes that follows star schema design).
• Reporting - for accessing the information in data warehouse area and presenting it
in a user-friendly manner to the analyst or business user.
• Planning and analysis - Provides capabilities for the user to run simulations and
perform tasks such as budget calculations.
• SAP's BW solution has a pervasively employed data warehouse and contains a
large number of pre-defined business content in the form of InfoCubes, Info
Objects, authorization roles, and queries. This allows the ability to leverage SAP's
experience and to reduce implementation cycles. The business content can be
modified to meet an organization's specific requirements; however, this requires a
longer process of customization of the pre-defined elements.

exist:

customized significantly.

7. SAP NetWeaver Single Sign-On
Environment
• The SAP NetWeaver Portal is the main entry point
within SAP NetWeaver. In order to integrate SAP
NetWeaver Business Intelligence, the following
two conditions must be satisfied: (note that SAP
logon tickets are being used in this example) 1) BI
trusts SAP logon tickets from EP because the
public key of the EP certificate has been imported
into BI. 2) EP trusts SAP logon tickets from BI
because the public key of the BI certificate has
been imported into EP.

8. Authorizations
• Companies have to define who has access to
which data. An authorization allows a user to
perform a certain activity on a certain object
in the BI system. There are two authorizations
concepts to consider for BI: standard
authorizations[1] and analysis authorizations.

9. History
• The 7.0 version of BW was released in June 2006 as part of the SAP
NetWeaver 7.0 (aka 2004s). This release includes many features, such as
next-generation reporting and analytical features, major data warehousing
enhancements, and a memory resident option for improving query
performance called "BI Accelerator" (it has since been renamed BW
Accelerator). The BW Accelerator comes as an external appliance, i.e.
complete hardware with pre-installed software, and requires a separate
license fee. BW Accelerator is licensed per blade server and 16 GB
increments of memory.
• SAP acquired Business Objects, one of the premier business intelligence
software providers, via tender offers executed December 2007-January
2008. SAP has indicated that Business Objects will operate as an
independent entity to preserve the principle of application agnosticism,
but also promised a tighter integration between SAP BI and Business
Objects. A new BI roadmap was recently released by the combined entity.
• According to SAP, more than 21,000 installations of SAP's BW solution
exist.
