Use

The BI Extension Kit in Visual Composer allows you to access many features in conjunction with SAP BI systems (BW systems 3.5 and higher).

Prerequisites

      You have access to an SAP BI system (SAP NetWeaver 2004 SP Stack 14 or greater), and it is configured to connect via the SAP BI Connector in the portal landscape. See Defining Portal Systems and Aliases in the SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer Installation & Configuration Guide.

      You may only deploy models created using SAP BI system functionality to Adobe Flash format. To check that your runtime is set to Flash: from the Visual Composer main menu, choose Tools    Options. Select the Compiler tab, and from the Runtime dropdown box, select Flash.
