Configuring BEx Web Integration

To allow users to call BEx Web applications in the BI launch pad, you need to make the following configuration steps:

1. Set up a server for the BEx Web applications in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence's Central Management Console (CMC).

   You can use either a general or standalone server for the BEx Web applications.

   Recommendation

   We recommend setting up a standalone server for the BEx Web applications, as the general server is normally used by a lot of other services.

2. Configure the server settings.

3. Check the connection to the BW system.

To ensure that authors can run BEx Web applications directly in the BI launch pad from BEx Web Application Designer, you need to make the relevant settings in the Connected Portals table ( RSPOR_T_PORTAL ) in the BW system.
