XML for AnalysisLocate this document in the navigation structure

XML for Analysis is a protocol for exchanging analytical data between client applications and servers, using HTTP and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), as a Web service. Implementing XML for Analysis enables third-party tools that are connected to SAP BI to communicate directly with the OLAP processor.

Unlike OLE DB, XML for Analysis provides universal data access to a particular source over the Internet, without having to set up a special component on the client.
