Once you have visualized BW data as dashboards using SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards, you can find and use these dashboards again as BW objects in various SAP BW and SAP BEx working environments.

  • You can integrate dashboards as iViews into the portal or display them directly in the Web browser, like a Web application, using the URL parameter dashboard=. More information: BEx Web Application or Query As iView in the Portal

  • You can also find and call these dashboards in your favorites or roles on the SAP Easy Access screen of the relevant BW system, depending on whether you saved the visualizations under favorites or roles in the BEx Save dialog in SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards.

  • Integrating SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards and SAP BW means that the dashboards (that visualize BW data) are saved as BEx objects on the BW server. The dashboards can therefore be transported like other BEx objects. You can access the Transport Connection from the SAP Easy Access menu in your BW system using transaction RSA1.
