Business Planning and Analytical
Services
Purpose
Various BI interfaces and tools are available if you want to modify the Business Planning and Analytical Services scenario.
Advantages for Application Development
In this section, we distinguish between BW-BPS and analysis process design (for example, for data mining solutions).
Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)
· You can use the BW-BPS Web Interface Builder to create Web-enabled planning applications in the form of Business Server Page applications (BSP applications).
· Services which are based on the SAP NetWeaver Internet Communication Framework (ICF) are delivered with BI. The service for the Status and Tracking System (STS) is implemented as a Web service.
Analysis Process Design
· You use the analysis process designer to define analysis processes that explore and identify hidden or complex relationships between BI data.
· You use the data mining workbench to create models. This allows you to use the methods according to your requirements.
