Hi all,
I am trying to use Aris MashZone with SAP BW. I am unable to use the SAP BW as data source. I dont want to download the data in Excel or CSV file, but i want Mashzone to be directly operating on SAP BW (Infocube or ODS or Multiprovider).
Please let me know if this is possible. And if yes, also please give me some tips on how to get it done!
Thank you!
Hi,
I am unfamiliar with SAP BW details. However as of today MashZone offers two ways to integrate with SAP BW and any other system:
- File based. A report resides at a common location. The report might be written, i.e. extended, continuously. MashZone will notice and display the updates.
- Web service. Once the source system implements a web service integration can happen online. MashZone is able to invoke any RESTful web service (incl. base authentification).
The second approach should be the one you are looking for. All data formats MashZone is able to read from file system can be obtained via web service, too. In fact the data source looks indically regardless of the access protocol.
