Setting Up a Model Connection for BI Connector Administrator (BICA)

Use

If you plan to use BI Connector Administrator (BICA) to populate a model from BW, you must create a special model connection for the application. The BICA application requires a model connection named BICDEFAULT, which is used to connect to Application Server and create the PAS/BI models. This is a single connection used by the application itself. When you create models using BICA, it will create the individual connections used by these models.

See SAP Note 2131423 Information published on SAP site for additional information about the BICA application.

Prerequisites

  • You are the administrator of Strategy Management.

  • You have created a link ID in Application Server to connect to the BW system. For information about creating a link ID for SAP NetWeaver BW Connector, see the SAP Strategy Management Configuration Help.

Procedure

Follow the steps in the previous topic Setting Up a Model Connection to create the model connection. The requirements for this BI Connector Administrator connection are the following:

  1. In the Model Connection text box, enter the name BICDEFAULT.

  2. For the PAS Model use INITIAL or JUICE.

  3. In the PAS User text box, enter the name CBADMIN.
