 BEx Web Application or Query as a Document or Link in KMLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can include a BEx Web application or query that is displayed in the Web as a precalculated document or link in Knowledge Management in the form of an iView on a portal page.

Features

Precalculated documents with historic data are stored in Knowledge Management (not in the BW system). The links to BEx Web applications or queries access the BW system indirectly using BEx Metadata Repository Manager to display the current data.

A BEx Web application or query as a document can be generated using BEx Broadcaster and as a link using BEx Web Application Designer or BEx Query Designer. More information: Generating BEx Objects and BW Objects for the Portal .

The documents and links are only located in Knowledge Management (not in the BW system).

You can use the Portal Content Studio to create iViews with documents and links. The iViews are of type KM Document iView and have the code link com.sap.km.cm.docs.

The most important property is the path to the document.

  • With a precalculated BEx Web application or query as a document, the path is independent of the selected folder in Knowledge Management. You specify the folder in BEx Broadcaster in the Target in Portal tab page (see Broadcast BEx Information to the Portal ).
  • With a BEx Web application or query as a link, the path to the document is independent of the selected prefix for BW Metadata Repository Manager and the BEx Web application's template ID. Enter /<BI_REPOSITORY_MANAGER_PREFIX>/activeVersion/WebTemplate/<TEMPLATE_ID>/launch as the path to the document.

The designations in brackets are placeholders for technical names.

You can use the KM-Content iView from the Content Administration portal role to find the path for the document.
