BPO dashboards can be connected to various data sources, such as database tables or SAP BW InfoCubes. To make the data available in BPO dashboards, a so-called connector is required. The task of a connector is to transform a specific data format that is used in the source system into a generic data format that can be used in SAP Solution Manager. There are the following connector types:

  • SAP Business Process Monitoring Trend Analysis (connector available in SAP standard)

  • SAP Business Process Monitoring Alerting (connector available in SAP standard)

  • SAP Business Process Analytics (connector available in SAP standard)

For every data source that the BPO dashboards use, create a connector instance. For more information, see Create Connector Instance.
