SAP Web AS Integration BI Web Services

BI Web Services
Definition of Web Service
A Web Service is a software component that can be described, discovered and executed using open Internet standards such as WSDL (Web Service Description Language), SOAP, XML, HTTP For the caller or sender, a service is a black box that may require input and delivers a result. Web Service cover the provision of services for integration within an enterprise, as well as cross-enterprise services on top of any communication technology stack, whether synchronous or asynchronous Web Services are a new feature of SAP Web AS 6.40 Following Features are released as web services and can be accessed via open standards
XML Data Load XML for Analysis: Connection of 3rd party front-end vendors to BW OLAP Engine XML Query Result Set (additional query format XML in addition to XLS and CSV)
Scenarios and Features
Example: XML Data Load

The meta data for the XML Data Load (function module, DataSource, data fields) can be queried via
WSDL The caller can now use XML and HTTP/SOAP to push data into the SAP BW delta queue
Example: XML Query Result Set

Easy to call: <SAP_BW_URL CMD=EXPORT DATA_PROVIDER=MyDataProvider FORMAT=XML>
Compatibility
Prerequisite: SAP Web AS 6.40
SAP Web AS Integration Central Alert Framework

The distribution of BW alerts via the central alert framework leverages functions of two SAP NetWeaver components: SAP BW and SAP WebAS. The central alert framework provided by the WebAS can serve as the central hub distributing alerts from all installed applications. The central alert framework of the SAP WebAS, provides the following additional functions:
Send short text message via SMS or Pager. Send long text message via e-mail as well as via Fax. Recipients have the option to subscribe/unsubscribe for the alert.
Existing alerting scenarios (using the Reporting Agent alerting options) can be adapted easily for alerting scenarios using the central alert framework of the WebAS. Both scenarios may be run in parallel.

SAP BW / MDM Integration Scenarios (1)
SAP MDM deliveres identifying navigational attributes for SAP BW

Master data is mainly managed in the MDM Clients For Content Consolidation master data has to be load into the MDM system, where the Content Integrator Engine consolidates the master data by finding duplicate records based on predefined matching processes. Global key mapping information is the result of this process. MDM key mapping information can be used in BW as a grouping attribute for global analysis needs
