New semantic layerWhat’s new ?
ProductsNEW – Information Design Tool
New generation design toolAll new projects should use this toolMost existing universes can be opened and converted to the new format by this tool
UPDATED – Universe design toolUniverse design as XI3.xStill shipped in this version in order to enable the smoothest possible transition
ComponentsNEW – Information engine
Query and computation Behind the scenes, this is the component that enables querying and computational capabilities to BI clients during report consumption
NEW – Query serverData federation engineThis is the component that enables MSU (Multi-Source Universe) functionality
UPDATED – Connection serverConnectivityThis is the component that establishes the connectivity to data sources

New semantic layerMulti-Source universes
Benefitso Federate different database vendors, OLTP and DWH, SAP BW, SAS, flat fileso Lower TCO for integration projects (no complex ETL to put in place)o May, in some cases, suspend the need for a consolidated DWH o Multi-tier deployment with load balancing
Federation within the information design toolo Create a data foundation and a business layer based on multiple connectionso Create multi-source joins and derived tableso Source independence through SQL 92 and DF functions, while keeping the ability to use native SQL when necessary

MonitoringProbes
SDK-based programs designed to test and report the health of the system
Replaces the out-of-the-box Diagnostic Tools
Provide the ability to monitor an SAP Business Objects system by using simulated application probes.
Probes could be run ‘on demand’ or as part of overall monitoring framework (scheduled).
Probes can be run from command line
Results can be stored and displayed.
Additional custom probes can be added.

MonitoringDefault Probes
CMS Logon Logoff This probe tests the availability of the CMS and ability for users to log on to the BOE system through any client
application. It successively logs one user on, tests the session validity, and logs the user off. CMS ping
This probe sends an empty query to the CMS and succeeds if the CMS returns a parse failure error. It should complete very quickly as the query parsing is part of the CMS core. Any other error would indicate a problem and unhealthy CMS.
CMS cache This probe tests the availability and health of the Info store cache. After a warm-up period, it is expected that the
CMS retrieves it from the cache; hence the query shall not hit the repository database. If this query fails, it is likely that the cache is not properly functioning or the cluster definition is incorrect.
CMS database connection This probe tests the availability of the repository database by executing a query to return the system Info Object
representing the cluster name. The CMS retrieves it from the database; hence a failure is likely to indicate a connection problem between the CMS and the database.
Crystal Reports Service through Page and Cache Server This probe tests the availability of the Crystal Report service through Page and Cache servers. Using the Page
and Cache servers, it successively opens a Crystal report, refreshes it, optionally exports it to the PDF format and then closes it.
Crystal Reports Service through Report Application Server This probe tests the availability of the Crystal Report service through Report Application servers. Using the Report
Application servers, it successively opens a Crystal report, optionally exports it to the PDF format and then closes it. Web Intelligence Service
This probe tests the availability of the Web Intelligence service through Web Intelligence Report Servers. It successively opens a Web Intelligence document, refreshes it, optionally exports it to the XLS and PDF format and then closes it.

Upgrade Management Tool

Upgrade Management ToolWhat’s New ?
Challenges XI 3.x, XI R2 BI 4.0
Multiple Tools Confusion about which tool to use: Central Configuration ManagerImport Wizard – used for both
upgrade and LCM
•Single integrated upgrademanagement tool•Simplified Intuitive UI•Clear workflow•Lifecycle management has its own separate tool
Scalability Single-threadedCan be problematic and time
consuming for large repositories
•Multi-threaded•Does not need to load entire repository in memory•Reduces execution time
Troubleshooting Hard to isolate problem areasRequires full regression test when
new patching is required
•Componentized plug-ins isolate problem areas•Patches can be released for specific areas

Upgrade Management ToolDesktop Intelligence reports migration
• Desktop Intelligence documents are not available in 4.0 CMS.• The only way for a user to work with Desktop Intelligence content in 4.0 is to follow one of the following procedures:
CMS XI 3Deski report
CMS 4.0Webireport
CMS XI 3Webireport
1 a) Use the XI 3.x Report conversion tool to convert Desktop Intelligence reports to Web Intelligence reports on the same stack
1 b) Use the 4.0 Upgrade management tool to promote the content
2. Use the 4.0 Report conversion tool to convert Desktop Intelligence reports to Webi reports and publish them to a BI 4.0 system
