Does the SAP BW 3.0 Administrator Workbench support SAP Web & SAP Java GUI?
SAP BW 3.0 is not actively supporting Web & Java GUI or investing into making the SAP NetWeaver BI Administrator Workbench run 100% on Web & Java GUI. However, general Backend (Basis/WAS) and Adminstrator Workbench functionality is working via these GUIs. Customers may use Web & Java GUI if the amount of functionality that works meets their requirements.
The following restrictions for the Admin Workbench are known today : Process Chains, InfoSet maintenance and Dataflow diagram.
There are also general basis restrictions concerning these GUIs, e.g. Drag & Drop is not supported by the Web GUI. Basis notes dealing with this topic are e.g. notes 314568 & 419297.

How can SAP NetWeaver BI and MS Analysis Services be integrated?
SAP supports 4 ways of integrating MS Analysis Services cubes into SAP NetWeaver BI:
MS Analysis Services as data source
MS Analysis Services can provide cube data as a flat file which can be uploaded into SAP NetWeaver BI.
MS Analysis Services as a remote InfoProvider
It is possible to define an external MS Analysis Services cube as a remote InfoProvider which accesses the data from the cubes in MS Analysis Services at query runtime. Customers can implement this currently in a pilot project which you can apply for with BI Product Management.
MS Analysis Services and SAP NetWeaver BI Open Hub Service
SAP NetWeaver BI InfoCubes can be extracted through the Open Hub Service to a file or DB table on MS SQL Server. MS Analysis Services can pick the data and store it in cubes.
MOLAP Bridge
SAP NetWeaver BI uses the MS Analysis Services MOLAP capabilities as a sort of DB feature to improve performance for specific scenarios. Using aggregates on a MS SQL Server database/MS Analysis Services, they can be defined either as ROLAP or MOLAP (cube in MS Analysis Services). This MS Analysis Services integration is completely transparent; the SAP NetWeaver BI frontend interface looks exactly like in the ROLAP case. The InfoCube itself is still stored in a relational table in MS SQL Server; the aggregates are stored as cubes in MS Analysis Services.
These cubes cannot be accessed directly by any 3rd party tool; you have to use the interfaces of the SAP NetWeaver BI OLAP processor.
Hope this helps
Thnaks
