Interoperability Between Analysis and Other Clients
in 2010 based on BI 4.0
Analysis state is captured in a query object called analysis view that is shared between products in the SAP
BusinessObjects suite (similar for the BEx query view in the BEx Suite)
The analysis view captures the view on the data including filters and other features it is stored in BI platform
SAP BusinessObjects Analysis can create and consume the analysis view, The first clients who are able to
consume it are Crystal Reports & Web Intelligence. Each tool interprets the analysis view in a way that is
consistent with its native environment

SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, Edition forMicrosoft Office 1.0 Prerequisites
Prerequisites
MS Office 2003, MS Office 2007 or MS Office 2010 (on MS Windows XP and higher)
Powerpoint Add-in only available for MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010
SAP NetWeaver BW 7.0 or higher**
Recommendation: use BW 7.0 EHP1 or even SAP NetWeaver BW 7.3 as there are
significant TCO and integration improvements between BusinessObjects Enterprise andNetWeaver
Queries defined in SAP BEx Query Designer 3.5 (within SAP NetWeaver 7.0!) or 7.0+ ;
also: direct access to SAP NetWeaver BW InfoProvider and query views
No need to migrate queries, no change in BW data models necessary
The SAP BEx Query Designer stays as it is and can continues to be the semantic modeling level for
SAP NetWeaver BW data.
SAP Business Objects Enterprise (BOE) XI 3.1 (can run side-by side with SAP NetWeaver
BW)
See next slide for information about platform capabilities
Client Sizing: See SAP note 1466118
** Requirements may be higher for other clients
*Please note: these are preliminary statements .The statements remain to be finalized once Analysis, edition for MS Office becomes available.

Dashboards & Enterprise Reporting For building highly formatted reports or state-of-the-art dashboards and visualizations that do
NOT require in-depth BW OLAP or BW-IP (planning) capabilities Crystal Enterprise andXcelsius are the tools of choice
BW-specific OLAP & Planning Apps
Short-term: SAP BEx Web Application Designer
Advanced Analytic Application Design and web-based planning apps via WAD in 2010
Less complex analytic scenarios via pre-defined AA Web workspaces
Mid-term: Analytical Application Development Kit

Maintenance
BEx 7.0 continues to be delivered with the next SAP NetWeaver BW releases. At this
point in time, theres no planned end of life. The maintenance period is renewed with
every major BW release.
BEx 3.5 is part of BW 3.5/SAP NetWeaver 04 and the maintenance cycle is coupled to
this release (see SAP note 1410878). As BEx 3.5 is also compatible with a BW 7.0
backend and had been delivered with BW 7.0, SAP will maintain BEx 3.5 functionalitywithin BW 7.0 and subsequent releases until the end of BW 7.0 maintenance cycle.
Maintenance is NOT extended with BW 7.30 or other future releases. Note that full PAM
support of BEx 3.5 cannot be granted by SAP as Microsoft has removed, e.g., supportfor some components within Windows 7 that had been used by BEx Web Application
Designer 3.5.
Also see: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/bex
Coexistence BEx Analyzer and Analysis, edition for MS Office You can install BEx and Analysis on a single PC.
Only one add-in can be active in an Excel session (in other words, either BEx or Analysis
can be active)
Opening a BEx workbook activates the BEx add-in.
