Communication Destinations

Use

Connection destinations are required in the following BW areas:

  • Using TREX

    RFC destination in the BW system

    For more information, see BW Customizing under TREX Connection.

  • Connecting data sources to the BW system

    These destinations are not usually shipped with the software. Instead, they are created on the customer's system.

    If you want to connect SAP systems and non-SAP data sources (as source systems) to BW, you usually need RFC destinations.

    To use UD Connect, you need an RFC destination to the Application Server Java. For more information, see BW Customizing under Start of the navigation pathUDI Settings by User Scenarios Next navigation step UD Connect SettingsEnd of the navigation path.

    The Myself BW destination is automatically created when the BW Data Warehousing Workbench is opened for the first time.

    The background user and the background user in the source system are responsible for communication between BW and source systems (in the case of SAP source systems). The BW background user requires the S_BI-WHM_RFC authorization profile. The background user requires the S_BI-WX_RFC authorization profile in the SAP source system. For more information, see Authorization Profiles for Background Users.
