SAP BO 4 - Live Office

Life Office purpose


To use Live Office to access corporate data,  you must connect to the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform repository where documents are stored. When you attempt to search for, add, view, modify, or publish Live Office objects from a Microsoft Office application, if you are not already logged on to the BI platform, you are prompted to log on.
You can configure Live Office to connect to SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform
automatically each time Microsoft Office Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, or Word is loaded. Live Office
supports Single Sign-on (SSO) to the BI platform. If SSO is enabled, when users request report data,
Live Office uses their SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform logon credentials to access
the data source rather than requiring another logon.

Live Office object types

Crystal Reports ->  Fields:Yes  Report Parts:Yes

Web Intelligence->  Fields: Not applicable Parts:Yes

Universe query->  Fields:  Yes   Parts:Not applicable


Live Office toolbar in SAP Business Objects 4.0

did not change so much compared to XI R3.1 version

beside the already known button:



Insert Universe Query 


Queries can be added from the Live Office menu or from the Live Office toolbar. Both methods start
the Live Office Insert Wizard, which guides you through choosing a universe, selecting data objects, 
and inserting the content into Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook or Word applications as Live Office 
objects.


there are only two new buttons:

Explore Excel Selection






Uploads the current selection in Microsoft Excel to SAP BusinessObjects
Explorer so you can explore the data further.

Explore Excel Sheet







Uploads the current Excel spreadsheet to SAP BusinessObjects Explorer so you can explore the data further.

SAP HANA Introduction

SAP HANA:The future of database technology The capacity of main memory in servers has continuously increased over the years, whereas prices have dramatically dropped. Today, a single enterprise class server can hold several  terabytes of main memory. At the same time, prices for server main memory dramatically  dropped over the last few decades. This increase in capacity and reduction in cost makes it a  viable approach to keep huge amounts of business data in memory. This section discusses  the benefits and challenges. In few words you can understand SAP HANA plus  analyzing this evaluation: Typical access speeds Disk     4,000,000 ns Memory         0.4 ns Speed   10,000,000 Falling prices move processing from Disk/SSD to In-Memory In-Memory Computing The elements of In-Memory computing are not new. However, dramatically improved hardware economics and  technology innov...
