Business experts can use Visual Composer in SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment to provide business intelligence data and capabilities directly in operational processes and to provide user-specific BI data directly in a given business context. This approach enhances the BI capabilities of SAP NetWeaver by providing a flexible modeling infrastructure that makes it possible to embed BI directly into applications for strategic and operational decision making.

This documentation describes how to model composite views using BI data services. More information:

For general information about modeling composite views with Visual Composer, see Modeling Composite Views with Visual Composer.

Prerequisites

To be able to model composite views with BI data sources, you need to meet the following conditions:

  • You need to create a system connection to an SAP BI system in the portal of the CE system. To use relational data from a non-SAP system, you need to connect the system via JDBC.
