Using existing Workbooks and Presentations in Analysis 2.2
The usage of existing Analysis workbooks and presentations in Analysis 2.2 depends on the platform you use to store the files.
- SAP NetWeaver server / Local storage
You can open existing workbooks and presentations in Analysis 2.2 and continue analyzing the data of the workbook with Analysis 2.2.
- Storage in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence
You can open existing workbooks and presentations that are stored on the business intelligence platform in Analysis 2.2 and continue analyzing the data with Analysis 2.2. You can save the changed workbooks and presentations on the BI platform.
- BEx Analyzer workbooks
You can convert BEx Analyzer workbooks to Analysis workbooks. After the conversion, you can open them in Analysis 2.2 and continue your analysis. You can also save them to a platform.
As of Analysis 2.0, the connection to the SAP HANA platform is implemented as an HTTP connection. The ODBC connections that were used in former releases (1.x), are no longer supported.
You can migrate the connection type in a workbook or presentation. If you open an object containing ODBC connections in Analysis 2.2, the SAP HANA Data Source Migration dialog appears automatically. In the dialog, you can select an existing HTTP connection for each ODBC connection.
Note that the HTTP connection must be created before you can migrate a workbook or presentation.
After assigning the HTTP connection, the migration can be started and you can refresh the corresponding data sources and save the workbook or presentation as 2.x object.
