Hi everyone,
hope you are fine!
Just updated our BO environment form xi3.x to xi4.1 and SAP BW 7.3 and our Dashboards running successful in our portal (not SAP portal).
The approach I have is to simplify the overall process - so I am braking the rule "never touch a running system" 🙂 - but the maintenance is horrible!
Briefly explained:
- We have Dashboards (Xcelsius) which are published in our companies portal.
- The Dashboards itself are saved in the BW System - so they are not in the BOE Server!
- These Dashboards receive data from SAP BEx Queries.
- If the users would like to print one of the Dashboards, Crystal Reports will be called via Opendocument.
The question is now: Is it possible to call Dashboards via opendocument even they are not in BOE System?
For example: The Dashboards are displayed in the portal, after selecting the "print" option, the same Dashboard is been called via opendocument with the additional tag of printing as PDF directly (sOutputFormat=P).
I would like to get rid of Crystal as this is just a copy of the Dashboards only for printing purposes.
Is this possible, do you have a better, more suitable solution here?
Thanks in advance your input is much appreciated.
Greetings Ömer
Hi Omer,
SAP BO Server is required for using Open document. Open Document application is hosted on SAP BO Server.
What do you mean by ‘Print’?
If users want to send Print Out to a printer and get a hard copy then you can include Print Button Component on dashboard. Users can simply click Print Button Component and get print out.
