Introduction
BEx Web applications are Web-based applications from the Business Explorer (BEx) of SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW). They are the traditional query, reporting and analysis tool for BW implementations and have, so far, required the SAP NetWeaver Java stack to run (SAP Java VM, NetWeaver Application Server, Portal application, BI-JAVA components, etc).
A new implementation option is now available with the release of SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 :
- end users will be able to access BEx Web Applications from BI LaunchPad (previously named BusinessObjects Infoview)
- the Java components of BEx Web applications will run within the BI 4.0 server(s), and the NetWeaver Java stack is not required anymore
This series of articles will present various points of this new integration, from its positioning (why would you choose that path) to the detailed configuration steps.
