BO explorer/Universe

BO Explorer (BEx)

SAP Business Explorer is the traditional and native frontend for SAP BW-based reporting, analysis, and business planning in maintenance mode. For all SAP Business Explorer customers interested in the future of BEx, here is what you need to know.
  • -ad hoc analysis tool that is browser-based and provides zero footprints 
  • -Data is embedded into Microsoft Excel workbooks providing users with drag-and-drop capabilities to drill down and filter the data using SAP BI OLAP functions. 
  • -BEx suite provide solutions for enterprise reporting, ad hoc OLAP analysis, and dashboarding.
SAP Bex Query Designer (Component of SAP BI) can access SAP HANA View as info provider and display data in Bex.

=====


Create Universe using Information Design Tool


Step 1) In this step, we will create a universe Using Information Design Tool (IDT).

HANA can be accessed via ODBC and JDBC drivers, and its tables can be defined and queried with SQL language. Tables are managed with a tool called HANA Studio.

  1. Launch IDT by navigating to
Start Menu -> SAP Business Intelligence -> SAP Business Objects BI platform 4 Client Tools -> Information Design Tool

Information Design tool screen will appear. To create a universe we need a project in IDT.
  1. Navigate to Project Option as below-
    1. Click On File.
    2. Click on New option.
    3. Select Project option.

A pop-up for New Project will appear- In this pop-up, enter following details:

1. Enter name of project

2. Click on finish button.

A project is a local workspace where you store the resources used to build one or more universes.

There are two connections available, detail of each is as below –
  1. Relational Connection – To access data from a table and access regular RDBMS use Relational Connection.
  2. OLAP Connection – To access data from the application (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, SAP BO) and data stored in Cube / Information View use OLAP connection.
Step 2) Now we create a Relational connection.
So go to Project - > New -> Relational Connection.
A Pop-Up for New Relation Connection source name appear-
  1. Enter Resource Name.
  2. Click on Next Button.

A Pop-Up for Database Middleware Driver Selection will appear-

  1. Select JDBC Drivers option under SAP HANA Database 1.0.
  2. Click on Next Button.

A pop-up for New Relational Connection parameter will be displayed, enter following details into it.
  1. Authentication Mode will be selected as "Use Specified User Name and Password".
  2. Enter HANA User Name.
  3. Enter Password.
  4. Select Single server in DATA Source section. Enter Host Name (here best: 30015).
  5. Enter Instance Number.
  6. Click on Test Connection button to verify the connection.
After successful Connection, a connection with name SAP HANA.cnx will be created.
Step 3) To consume Universe by Web Intelligence, Dashboards or Crystal Report for Enterprise, we need to publish the connection. So, now we publish connection for SAP HANA.cnx.
  1. Select SAP HANA.cnx connection under Project "WEBI_DHK_HANA" and right click.
  2. Select Publish Connection to a repository.
  3. A Publish connection with name SAPHANA.cns will be created after successful publish in the repository.
A pop-up for publishing connection to repository appears –
  1. Select Business IDT.
  2. Click on finish button.
Now we create Universe by using SAP HANA Business Layer.
Step 4) Create Universe (Universe is a business representation of your data warehouse or transactional database. Universe allow the user to interact with data without knowledge of complexities of the database).
To create universe, we use SAP HANA Business Layer as below -
SAP HANA Business Layer
From SAP BOBI 4.1, SAP provides a new option "SAP HANA Business Layer" while creating the universe using Information Design tool.
Before SAP BOBI 4.1 version, we need to create a derived table while building data foundation and map the variable and input parameters.
SAP HANA Business Layer automatically creates a data foundation and business layer based on selected SAP HANA Views.
SAP HANA Business Layer automatically detects the input parameter and variables.
We Create Universe through SAP HANA Business Layer as below-
  1. Select Project Created "WEBI_DHK_HANA".
  2. Right click the project and select a new option.
  3. Select option "SAP HANA Business Layer".

A Pop-up for SAP HANA Business Layer appears-

  1. Enter Business Layer Name.
  2. Enter Data Foundation Name.
  3. Enter Description.
  4. Click On Next Button.
A Pop-up for Select SAP HANA Connection displayed-
  1. Tick on Connection "SAPHANA.cnx".
  2. Click on Next Button.
A Pop-up for selecting SAP HANA Information Model will be displayed.

  1. Now Select Analytic View (AN_PURCHASE_ORDERS) Created under HANAUSER Package.
  2. Click on Finish Button.
The analytic view will open in Information Design tool.
Step 5) Detail of Information Design tool will be as below-
  1. Under Project- all Relational Connection, Business Layer, and Data Foundation will be displayed.
  2. In repository resource section, object (Connection, Business Layer, etc.) stored in the repository will be displayed.
  3. Business Layer shows Business view of Analytic view. It is for Functional Person.
  4. Data Foundation shows table and column name. It is for Technical Person.
Step 6) In this step,
Select Business layer section, go to the folder with the name of Analytic View.
Now follow points as below-

  1. Select data foundation section.
  2. Drag and drop column to Analytic View
  3. It will display objects under Analytic View
  4. Dragged field will be displayed under Analytic View (AN_PURCHASE_ORDER).
Step 7) In this step, save all object.

Go to file and click on "Save All" option to save all objects.

After that, follow the step below.
Step 8) Create a Query and view output.

  1. Go to Queries option.
  2. A Query panel will be displayed, Select the field to which you want to include in Query.
  3. Drag and drop them to "Result object for Query #1 "section.
  4. Click on Refresh Button on Result set section.
  5. Result will be displayed.
