Across our customer base, we consistently see three core sets of BI client requirements: Discovery and Analysis. Dashboards and Apps. Reporting. Within each of these requirement areas, we have products designed to meet the specific needs of our large and diverse customer base. SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio enables application designers to create analysis applications and dashboards in HTML5 for browsers and mobile devices on top of BW and SAP HANA data sources. It is the BI dashboard and applications product of choice when full support for BW and HANA data models and their engine capabilities is required. The product offers a design tool that allows you (the Designer) to create HTML5 applications easily and intuitively without the need for native HTML and iPad UI programming skills. SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio applications can be published and integrated into the following two platforms: • SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI platform)

• SAP NetWeaver In local mode, you can first create HTML5 analysis applications for evaluating and prototyping SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio with users at customer site or for learning and training purposes.

Deployment Option 1 | BI Platform Data Access • Multiple SAP BW sources as data sources: BW queries, views and

infoproviders sourced from BW 7.0, BW 7.01, BW 7.30 and BW 7.31 • Multiple SAP HANA sources as data sources: HANA analytic and

calculation views sourced from HANA SP03 or later • Connection definition to each BW server, cube, query or HANA server or

view is pre-published as an OLAP connection on BI 4 Platform BI Platform deployment a requisite for consuming Design Studio appls via SAP BI Mobile native app (a smart phone or tablet native app). For most flexibility and options, deploy Design Studio applications to SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform (multiple datasource options to BW, HANA and others planned, BI Mobile app consumption, Design Studio 1.2 SDK support) References: • Product Availability Matrix (PAM) | https://websmp106.sap-

Deployment Option 2 | Netweaver Platform

Data Access

• Single SAP BW source as data source only i.e. BW queries, views and

infoproviders sourced from the BW server to which Design Studio

application is published

• See Design Studio 1.1 PAM/supported platforms: e.g. data from a single

implicit BW 7.30 SP09+, BW 7.31 SP07+ BW 7.4 SP02+

Local Mode Option NOT for production use or mass deployment - only

demo or prototyping.

Data Access

• One or more BW server connection details defined in local saplogon.ini

file (via SAP Logon/SAP GUI)

• One or more HANA server connection details defined in the local ODBC

administrator (NB the 32-bit ODBC administrator)

Note: Local applications can be uploaded to BI platform or NW platform

provided the application datasources aliases are redefined to use BI 4

OLAP connections and or queries from the single NW BW system.

OLAP Connections

• Pre-publish via Central Management Console ( http://<BI4WebAppServer>:<port>/BOE/CMC ) or in BI 4.x

Information Design Tool

• Can define separate OLAP connections to

• Either a specific BW query, view, one generic BW infoprovider or BW server

• Either a specific HANA calculation view, analytic view or one generic HANA server

• For OLAP connection on a generic BW server/infoprovider or HANA server, designer selects a specific

query/view at design time to tailor a DS data source query from.

• For OLAP connection on a specific BW query/HANA view, designer tailors an DS data source alias/query from

this specific query/view only

• Single-sign to database: At BI 4.0+ runtime, BW OLAP connections support SSO via BW secondary

credentials/impersonation via BI 4.x STS service (Security Token Service), MYSAPSSO2 cookie/tickets. At BI

4.1+ runtime, currently HANA OLAP connections support SSO via SAML tickets (BI 4.1 or later)

Ways to view a Design Studio application once it is published to the BI

Platform and NW Platform

20

On BI Platform, HTML5 application is consumable via browser and via SAP BI Mobile App and indirectly via BI 4 Portal integrations 1. Via Web Browser 1.1. BI Launch Pad – BI 4 end-user web application • In BI Launch Pad, open DS application by (a) clicking View in the context menu of the application or (b)

clicking on the application. • Application may launched in a separate browser window depending on the browser version (SAP Note

1855350) • BI Launch Pad URL | http://<BI_web_server>:<port>/BOE/BI 1.2. OpenDocument URL link – to call DS application from elsewhere http://<BI_web_server>:<port>/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=[CUID] • Where [CUID] = BI 4 CUID unique ID of your published DS application • link can be shared with other users; called by another document or application; also used by Designer Tool for

‘BI Platform preview mode’ • Context parameters can be passed if DS appl. accepts url parameters. 2. SAP BusinessObjects Mobile BI 5.0+ native tablet/smart phone app 5.0 for iOS only Published DS application must to in the BI 4 ‘Mobile’ category Design Studio openDocument links supported 3. Via BI 4 Portal Integrations e.g for NW Enterprise Portal • DS HTML5 applications published to BI 4 can be imbedded in SAP Portal iViews using on BI 4 document

iView template + <CUID> • Potential limitations when embedding HTML5 application in browser window running in Internet Explorer

compatibility mode/non-HTML5 mode. E.g. SAP Note 1894584. Also see reference “iView Layout Issues” References • DS Admin Guide – Bi LaunchPad| http://help.sap.com/boad > Administrator Guide: SAP BusinessObjects

When deployed to NW platform, HTML5 application is consumed via browser: 1. Using a NW Enterprise Portal URL referencing DS technical name https://<portal_server>:<portal_port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.ip.bi.designstudio.nw.portal.ds?APPLICATION=[DS App Tech Name] where [DS App Tech Name] = NW technical name of the published DS application. Same URL as in Designer ‘NW Platform preview mode’ URL parameters be can passed 2. Via Enterprise Portal iView based on Design Studio iView template • Two iView properties: [Analysis Application] = DS appl. technical name and

optionally, [Application Parameters] = url parameters for DS appl. • NB! Known limitations embedding iView within Portal pages and roles with

Internet Explorer Browser compatibility mode! SAP Note 1894594 • If iView’s height is truncated to 150 pixels, may need to embed your Design

Studio iView in a portal page. See reference “iView Layout Issues” References • Pass URL parameters between applications | http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-

In addition to end-users consuming a published application from BI Platform or NW Enterprise Portal, designers can preview an application at design time in multiple modes. Runtime behaviour also depends on the Design Tool Preferred Startup Mode setting 1. Designer Startup Mode: Local Mode (or by Skipping over Platform login screen) – prototyping mode

Preview Mode 1.1. Execute Locally only (via desktop / QR scancode via local web server/DS runtime)

2. Designer Startup Mode: SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform

Preview Modes • 2.1 Execute remotely on BI Platform (via desktop browser / QR

scancode) • 2.2 Execute Locally (via desktop browser via local embedded web

server/DS runtime) 3. Designer Startup Mode: SAP Netweaver

Preview Modes • 3.1. Execute remotely on NW Portal (via desktop browser / QR

scancode) • 3.2. Execute Locally (via desktop browser via local web server/DS

runtime) Let’s review the process flow for each preview mode…

Let’s review the high level process flow for each startup mode & preview mode scenario to understand (a) which Design Studio runtime engine is executed (b) where application and associated object(s) (images/CCS sheets) are retrieved from (c) where system information for data sources(s) are retrieved from

This is useful for troubleshooting and isolating platform versus Design Studio add-on specific issues or comparing runtime behaviour of different DS add-on releases.

To lifecycle manage BI Info objects from Dev to Test or Dev to Prod BI Platforms use: • BI 4 Central Management Console web application > Promotion Management Add All Objects to Promotion Job | DS application(s), images, stylesheets, connections, plus related folders & sub-folders • Currently, DS application dependencies are not auto-detected/managed, so

explicitly also add images, CSSs & connections to a job • If DS application uses shared OLAP connection(s) managed by another

Admin, ensure that these connections also promoted by the Promotion Admin OLAP Connection Override settings The OLAP connection will have different BW/HANA server settings on the target BI Platform. So a set of connection override settings must be defined & promoted and active before the job containing any OLAP connections is promoted to target system. An OLAP connection‘s properties will then be automatically overriden each time it is promoted in a job. References • Install Guide | http://help.sap.com/boad > Administrator Guide: SAP
