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.

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.

User Management

• The following types of general user profiles
  exist
• Executives and Knowledge Workers
• Information Consumers
• However, roles and authorizations can be
  customized significantly.

6
Authentications and Single Sign-On

• The following are the most common forms of
  authentication
• User ID and Password
• Secure Network Communication (SNC)
• SAP logon Ticket
• Client Certificates (e.g., x.509)

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.

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 authorizations1 and
  analysis authorizations.

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.
