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

Hi Sasa,

From BW 7.3 onwards, SAP removes java stack connection, and ABAP stack only will be available.

In order to run WAD, you need to have java portal installed separately in your system.

So the next thing would be to install AS Java Portal and configure RFC with BI system? (I am Basis)

Are there any docs that cover BI - Portal story?

Thanks!

Check Aravind's docs which talks about Portal story.

Hi

We went though that document/steps. It's older but shouldn't have changed much.
