SAP Netweaver BI Connection

Hi,
When I integrate a BEx report with Xcelsius via "SAP Netweaver BI Connection", dashboards can only be published to portal.
Is there any chance to use them locally (e.g. pdf, swf)?
Thanks,
Erdem

Erdem,
You will be able to export it as well, are you facing any problem while exporting it to pdf or swf?

There's no problem with exporting. The point is, a logon screen should appear to get the data however it doesn't.
PS: The connection type is "SAP Netweaver BI Connection". Not "Query as a web service" neither "Live Office" etc.
Thanks,
Erdem

If anyone wants to know, as confirmed with SAP this is not possible at the moment.

Hi Erdem,
Did you in the meantime do some additional checks and found a solution? I believe the necessary releases are now available and it should be possible to connect Xcelsius 2008 to SAP BI with a SAP BI Connection...
But I still have the same issue you encountered!
I want to set up a SAP Netweaver BI Connection in Xcelsius 2008, but when I click on the "browse" button I have no response?
Releases:
SAP System: SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 with SAP_BW release 701 Level 5 (SAPKW70105)
SAP GUI: Release 7.10 Patch level 15
Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 3, build 2600
BI AddOn 7.X (based on 7.10) Support Package 10, Patch 1. Revision 630
Xcelsius 2008 Engage with SP2 (Version 5.2.0.0 Build Number 12.2.0.608)
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Michel,
You can only preview the output on the BW portal. First publish your dashboard and then launch it using the SAP menu.
Any other platforms are not yet supported.
Regards,
Erdem

Erdem,
Thanks for your quick feedback, but I'm not sure I understand...
What do you mean with preview in the portal?
I still have to create my dashboard. I open Xcelsius, with a blank canvas I try to create a connection. I select "Add" > "SAP BI Connection".
I give a name to my connection and I click "Browse". Here nothing happens.
I suppose I should get a logon screen and after that a query selection screen, but it doesn't show up?
Even if I created a manual dashboard, the SAP menu is not available...
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Michel Hoefkens

Hi,
To create a connection, you should be able to click on browse and select a BEx query first. If the browse doesn't work, there should be a problem with your installations or maybe the temporary key doesn't allow it.
You can see the details and a demo sample from the webinar on the following link:

Thanks Erdem,
It was in fact my temporary license key that prevented the usage of this option.
However, now I can login to my SAP BI server, but I receive a "COM Exception" error before I can select a query. Ever encountered this problem?
Thanks for the help!
