Overview of BI Administration Console

BI Administration Console is an SAP Fiori Launchpad site that you access through a Web browser. It's a single point of access to two Web-based applications for online administration of BI landscapes and automation of BI tasks.

BI Administration Console displays content as tiles: Landscape Management and Automation Framework. From these tiles, you can drill down into the relevant application for more detailed information and functions.

BI Administration Console implements a role-based concept so that users only have access to those tiles for which they are authorized.

About Landscape Management

Landscape refers to a single BI machine or a cluster of BI machines that you are authorized to access. Landscape management is an application that lets you access and manage your BI landscapes centrally. To avail the capabilities of other applications such as Automation Framework, it is essential to first register your BI landscapes using the Landscape Management application.

About the Automation Framework

Automation Framework provides you the capability to automate complex and repetitive BI tasks.

Example Consider that you need to perform the following BI tasks in order:
  1. Log on to the BI platform.
  2. Change the source of certain Web Intelligence documents from .unv to .unx.
  3. Refresh these Web Intelligence documents.
  4. Log out of the BI platform.

With Automation Framework, you don't need to do all this manually. You can create a scenario using standard workflow templates, save this scenario with input data and execute (run) this scenario to view the results.
