Connecting to a SAP system

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to connect to a SAP System

SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform

Analysis for Office connects directly either to a SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform or to a SAP Business Warehouse (BW) system. Once you are connected to one of the two systems, you can save workbooks to the system and access the data sources available to you using connections to them created on that system.

When you first insert a data source, you are prompted to connect to the SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform.
