SAP AG 2006, Migration Strategies to SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI Tools / 7
BEx Tools and Design-Time
With SAP NetWeaver 2004s, new tools and a new runtime are available in the Business
Explorer (BEx). At the same time, all of the previous tools and the Web runtime from SAP
BW 3.5 will be delivered in order to guarantee a step-by-step, demand-oriented transition
New BEx Tools in SAP NetWeaver 2004s
� New SAP NetWeaver 2004s Front-end features are ONLY available with the new SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEX tools.
� Objects that were created with the SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx tools can not longer be edited with 3.x BEx tools.
SAP BW 3.x Tools on top of SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI
� To ensure that existing customer scenarios can continue to be edited (mainly for correction purposes), an additional set of 3.x BEx tools is delivered with the SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx Front-end installation.
� It is possible to work with these 3.x BEx tools in connection with the new SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI server.
Transition from SAP BW 3.x to SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx Tools
� Conversion (if possible) occurs when the previous objects are opened in the new tools. This enables transition on an as-needed basis. There is no mass conversion of objects.
� Converted objects are stored as new objects. Old objects are never automatically deleted.
� The recommendation is to make the change step by step, because further new features will only be made for the new tools.
SAP AG 2006, Migration Strategies to SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI Tools / 8
BEx Tool Changes & Replacements
�The BEx Browser and the BEx Download Scheduler are no longer developed. Their
functions are taken over by the SAP NetWeaver 2004s Portal, KM & BEx Broadcaster capabilities
���� The SAP NetWeaver Portal provides a role-based overview of various objects and distribution of documents takes place using the BEx Broadcaster or
functions in the BEx Portfolio area and Knowledge Management in the portal.
�The Reporting Agent is no longer developed. Its functions are taken over by the
BEx Broadcaster, the Portal & the SAP NetWeaver Alert Framework
�The BEX Ad-Hoc Query Designer is no longer developed. It is replaced by the BEx Web Analyzer.
���� In the BEx Web Analyzer, query views can be created based on BEx queries, InfoProviders and third party multidimensional data providers that offer an
XMLA or ODBO interface

BEx Query Designer (1)
BEx Query Designer – SAP BW 3.x and SAP NetWeaver 2004s
�All existing SAP BW 3.x queries can be edited with the SAP NetWeaver 2004s
BEx Query Designer without further manual adaptation.
�After editing with the new tool queries cannot be edited with the SAP BW 3.x BEx Query Designer anymore
�Queries created or adapted with the SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx Query Designer will still appear in the Open Dialog of the SAP BW 3.x tool but they cannot be opened anymore
�For those scenarios were customers do not want to use the SAP NetWeaver
2004s BEx Query Designer, SAP ships an SAP BW 3.x version of the BEx Query Designer additionally to the SAP NetWeaver 2004s version.
�New capabilities are only implemented in the SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx Query Designer
�Query Views that were created before will still run after a query has been changed with the new BEx Query Designer
� In general query views do not need to be migrated

BEx Web Application Designer (1)
BEx Web Application Designer (Web AD) – SAP BW 3.x and SAP NetWeaver 2004s
� SAP ensures that existing customer scenarios continue to be able to be edited with the SAP BW 3.x Web AD that is shipped in SAP NetWeaver 2004s along with the new Web AD
� Additionally to many new items in the SAP NetWeaver 2004s Web AD some SAP BW 3.x items are not included any more.
� Examples
–The menu item is replaced by Portal functionality
–The Alert Monitor is replaced by the Universal Worklist (Portal feature)
� A migration can be triggered if an SAP BW 3.x web application is opened with the SAP NetWeaver 2004s Web AD
� BEx Web applications in which certain customer-specific enhancements (e.g., Table Interface, custom Java-Script) were made cannot be automatically converted with the newBEx Web AD. Manual adaptation might be necessary to ensure the proper behavior of the web application.
� After saving with the SAP NetWeaver 2004s Web AD, the migrated version of a web application cannot longer be used in the SAP BW 3.x BEx Web AD. Migrated versions will not appear in the open dialog of the old tool.
� After migration, the old version of a web application is still available in the SAP BW 3.x BEx Web AD. The old version will still appear in the open dialog of the old tool. Migration can be done as many times as need since old web applications are not deleted.
� New capabilities are only implemented in the SAP NetWeaver 2004s Web AD
� Web templates for the new BEx Web runtime can only be created with the new BEx Web AD.

Process of Migration
� Rebuild or migrate with Tool in SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx Web Application Designer
� Web Templates with…
�JavaScript used for Layout (Tab Pages, etc.) should be rebuilt
�Charts could be migrated, manual adjustments may be required
Rebuilding Web Templates
� Content (Queries) already existing
� Required functionality already known
� Command Wizard accelerate creation of commands
� New Layout Web Items (Tab Pages, Container, Buttons, …) minimize need of JavaScript
� New Web Items (Navigation Panel, Properties Pane)
�Required time for rebuilding a Web Template is less than creating it initially in SAP BW 3.x
�Standard Web Items and HTML could be migrated
�JavaScript used for Commands could be migrated
SAP AG 2006, Migration Strategies to SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI Tools / 26
BEx Web Design API for Tables (Table Interface) (1)
Official statement in note 931395
... The BEx Web Design API for Tables (table interface) and
related customized ABAP coding that was available within
the ABAP Web runtime is not available in the Java Web
runtime.
...
Therefore, in the next major SAP NetWeaver Release after
SAP NetWeaver 2004s, SAP will provide a Java-based
interface that can offer additional flexibility for
customized coding. ...
Situation in SAP BW 3.x
� HTML: Unrestricted usage of HTML
� JavaScript: Own coding without any guiding principles and limits
� Commands: Usable in links or in JavaScript but no tool support
� Table Interface: Change content and style of table in own ABAP class
� Help Service: Unrestricted generation of HTML in own ABAP coding
���� BEx Web offers a platform for freestyle web design
SAP AG 2006, Migration Strategies to SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI Tools / 27
BEx Web Design API for Tables (Table Interface) (2)
Situation in SAP NetWeaver 2004s
� Standard functionality replaces customer-specific coding (printing, exceptions, sorting, …)
� BEx Web Application Designer with Command wizard and new Web Items (Tab Pages, Button Group), BEx Report Designer, …
� XHTML and Unified Rendering is used for Web Items
�BEx Web offers a platform and a wide range of tools for well-
structured web design
Use cases of table interface need to be categorized by:
� Use cases replaceable by standard functionality
� Use cases with reasonable extension of standard functionality (add to planned feature list)
� Use case with too custom-specific requirements; for these gaps extension interface are planned
SAP AG 2006, Migration Strategies to SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI Tools / 28
Enterprise Reporting is the reporting component of the
Business Explorer
� BEx Report Designer is a user-friendly design tool to create formatted Reports
� Formatted Reports are optimized for presentation and print
� Reports are new objects in SAP NetWeaver 2004s
���� No migration required

BEx Analyzer – SAP BW 3.x and SAP NetWeaver 2004s
� Existing SAP BW 3.x queries and workbooks can be opened with the SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx Analyzer
� Standard workbooks are automatically upgraded, workbooks with customer coding will be upgraded with a best guess strategy.
� Manual adaptation might be necessary to ensure the proper behavior of the workbook. (e.g., customer Visual Basic has to be manually adapted)
� After saving in the new tool, workbooks can no longer be used in the SAP BW 3.x BEx Analyzer. They will not appear in the open dialog any more.
� For those scenarios were customers do not want to use the SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx Analyzer, SAP additionally ships a SAP BW 3.x version.
� After migration the old version of a workbook is still available in the old SAP BW 3.x BEx Analyzer. Migration can be done as many times as need. Old workbooks are not deleted.
� New capabilities are only implemented in the SAP NetWeaver 2004s BEx Analyzer
� GIS functionality is only available via BEx Web (BEx Web Application Designer)
� The new BEx Analyzer gives access to InfoProviders & queries but not to query views created with the new BEx Web Analyzer. On the other hand, query views created with the new BEx Analyzer are available within the new BEx Web Analyzer
� Several features of the new BEx Query Designer and BEx Web (e.g., in the area of exceptions and conditions) are not available in the new BEx Analyzer.
