  2. Unter Table/View , enter RSPOR_T_PORTAL .
  3. Choose Maintain .
  4. To create a new entry, choose New Entries .

      Enter this RFC destination under Destination .

    • Select Standard Portal . This ensures that Web applications in Web Application Designer are always called in BusinessObjects Business Intelligence.

    • Under URL Prefix , enter the URL to the BusinessObjects BI Web Application Container Server (WACS), including the protocol, host name and port, http//<wacs><domain>:<port> for example.

    • Under Platform , select BOE .
