The difference SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite and SAP BusinessObjects EDGE BI Suite

Hi all,
Would you please explain what is the difference of SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite and SAP BusinessObjects EDGE BI Suite..?

Key difference:
Edge BI Suite does not allow you to do clustering of nodes, but the BI Suite does.  This flexibility is restricted in Edge - so it's a single server setup.
Both SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI and SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise share the same underlying platform and tools.  The difference is that Edge BI is designed and priced for mid-sized organizations, and is therefore licensed differently. 
SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI is licensed for both named-user licenses and concurrent access licenses (CAL). While named-user licenses are appropriate for users who are active in the system throughout most of the day, the concurrent access license provides an economical way to support casual system users. A single CAL license will typically support 5-10 users, depending on the type of usage they require.
While Enterprise (BI Suite) can be implemented for unlimited users across multiple servers and includes clustering and failover capabilities, Edge BI is restricted to a single server and a user count more appropriate for mid-sized organizations.
You can always upgrade to SAP BI Suite if requirement grows and easily migrate all of your BI content including users, groups, reports, dashboards and universes.
The decision now depends on your investment and the allocated budget. I hope this helps.

    Looking at the image below, you will find out that ECC6 is under SAP ERP, and SAP ERP is under SAP Solution:

  • Difference between SAP BW 3.5 and SAP BI 7.0

    Hi all,
    actually, i work on SAP BW 3.5, now for new project need knowledge of
    SAP BI  7.0
              pls, help regarding the differences between SAP BW 3.5 and
    SAP BI  7.0
    it is little urgent.
    tks in advance
    - BW Professional

    1. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
    2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
    3. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
    4. The monitoring has been imprvoed with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal !
    5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
    6. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yess, you can always revert to the old transactions too

  • Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

    Hello ASUG Community.
    I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM.  The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
    The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
    The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
    I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
    The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality?  It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s.  Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
    I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
    Any insight would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.  Sincerely,
    Rich Wortmann

    I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
    Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

  • What is the difference between version 4.7EE and ECC 5.0

    DEAR EXPERTS
    what is the difference between version 4.7EE and ECC 5.0?WHAT ARE THE ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALTIES IN
    ECC 5.0?

    hi,
    Diff between 4.7 and ECC 5.0:
    1. 4.7 is on R/3 platform, while ECC 5.0 is on mySAP ERP 2004
    2. ECC 5.0 is having ESA(enterprise Serviceoriented Architecture)
    3.ECC 5.0 is web enabled with Netweaver technology.
    mySAP ERP is the "newer" ERP with numbering conventions like ECC (which stands for ERP Central Component) 5 or 6
    mySAP (aka mySAP.com) Business Suite contains Solutions like CRM, SCM etc. The important thing to note here is that this contains mySAP ERP, the one above
    mySAP All-in-One Solution is designed for smaller companies (the ad that says SAP is not just for large companies but for great companies where the above mentioned functionality is scaled down and is made to run on one database on a PC type of setup as opposed to the full blown architectures on which SAP traditionally set to run

    HI,
    What is the difference between Component,Server,Tool and Software?
    SHABEER

    Hi
    Every individual part that constitutes in making an SAP System is called a COMPONENT.e.g DB instance, Java CI, ABAP CI etc
    SERVER is the actual composition of different components of SAP.e.g. a database alongwith can instance would constitue an application server.
    TOOLS are the products from different organisations (SAP or Non SAP) that can be used for different functionalities like keeping a check on jobs, monitoring of the system , e.g Tivoli
    SOFTWARES are a kind of tool that help you to bring up results from the system in a user acceptable format. These are utilities that act as interfaces between the user and the system.

    Hi,
    honestly, a forum is not the medium for this.  
    I'd recommend you read the release notes, the new/deprecated features list, and check out the online release training
    all found under www.service.sap.com for which you need an S-user
