Integration of SAP Gateway and SAP Business Warehouse
SAP Gateway and SAP Business Warehouse (BW) Integration enables the SAP BW content to be exposed as OData for SAP Analytic services for light weight mobile consumption. SAP Gateway enables an easy way of integrating SAP BW functionalities by using MultiDimensional eXpressions (MDX) and Easy Query. See, Generating an SAP Gateway Analytics Service Using MDX and Easy Query section for more information.
