Connecting to R/3 source system from BI in ECC6.0

Question

Hi all,
We have installed ECC6.0 system recently with two clients say 500 for R/3 and 600 for BI7.0.
we would like to know how to establish connection between these two clients?from BI7.0 >RSA1>Source Systems-->we do not have any source system assigned here(i.e. SAP folder has nothing under it).
Does anyone has documents on this?please share with me.
Regards,
Murali.

Hi Murali,
Following are the stpes to be performed
1)Before any developments create a user ALEREMOTE through transaction code SU01. This user name is to be created in both the BI system and the R/3 system
Enter the requisite details for the same like address, Logon date, defaults, parameters, roles, profiles, groups, personalization and license data. Remember to assign the SAP_ALL and R_RS_ALL in the profiles
You can create the system-generated password by clicking the wizard button.You can also choose the password of your choice. It’s important to note that keep the password same for the user ALEREMOTE common for both the BI and the R/3 system.
2) In the same way create another user BWREMO
3) Define the logical system in BI
Click on SAP reference IMG in SPRO Transaction
For BI 7.0 the procedure is different. It is as follows. Click on SAP Netweaver Business intelligence Links to other source system General connection settings, then click on define logical systems.
For the earlier version BW 3.5 and earlier follow the following steps. Then drop down the BW customizing implementation guide. After that Business Information Warehouse Link to other systems  General connection settings then click on Define logical systems
Click on new entries and enter the logical system name and description
Press the New entries button
Enter the client, city, logical system name, currency, and client role. Select the radio button automatic recording of changes and the rest will remain the same. After that click on save and then back and then save again.
4) Define logical system in SAP R/3 in similar way
5)Go to R/3 connection in BW 3.5 or go to ABAP connection in BI 7.0. Then click create.
6)Now create two RFC destinations for BI, one for direct remote login and the other through the Dialog screen.
7Creating RFC destination for BIW.
a.     Create a RFC destination NB1CLNT500 with the name for logical systems. The other destination would This destination would be used for BW  BW interaction. The same would be for theNB1CLNT500_DIALOG.Now click on connection test and there should not be any error. Now check by clicking the Remote Login button and this will take you to the R/3 system.
8.     Creating RFC destination for Dialog
a.     Create a RFC destination with the name of and NB1CLNT500_DIALOG in BIW with the name for logical systems. This destination would be used for BW  SAP interaction.
9.     The process is finished now.
10.     Now your connectivity is successfully established with the R/3 system.
