BEx setup and configuration

[#1]

Hello,

I've installed SAP BW 7.31 (AS ABAP) with BI-CONT add-on. However, I've got complains that BEx Web Application designer and BEx Report Designer can't connect. I've been searching for hours on help.sap.com, google, sap notes for information about what else needs to be installed but only clue I have is - Note 917950 - SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting Up BEx Web - it's an old note and it references older versions of BW.

I can't find on service.sap.com or other sources I mentioned official documentation about what needs to be installed in order to use BEx Web Application designer and BEx Report Designer.

Can anyone point me in the right directions, where to find right documentation for setup and configuration of BEx to enable use of BEx Web Application designer and BEx Report Designer?

Thanks,

Sasha

Thank you all for answers but it might be that I did not explain well my problem.

Users already have BEx front end  tools installed. What I am missing is bigger picture - architecture of BI and other required software that need to be installed (maybe portal which is mentioned in error messages or whatever else). I can't find documentation about it.

I think there is something missing besides SAP BW. Please take a look at error below.

Is there a documentation that explains BI scenario, architecture and what has to be installed and configured?

Thanks!

Hi

You also need the java stack server.

Then it will create a rfc connection to portal which BEX also uses http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/42/821640b7b6dd5fe10000000a155106/content.htm

Once installed you can use the program RSPOR_SETUP to setup the connection

hope it helps

Couple of things to check :

WAD 7.0 requires either Dual Stack or JAVA stack alone in BW. Portal setup has to be done in RSPOR_SETUP program in SE38 or SA38.

Your BASIS should be able to do above.

Hi Sasa,

After you get the above error -- once you click on OK -- it will download the components automatically...and get the WAD ready for you....

Have you tried clicking OK and see what happened.Are you still facing the same issue

Have you tried to contact and check with BASIS on this issue?

Check the below link if this may give you some idea on configuring WAD>
