SAP BusinessObjects BI

You can use the SAP BusinessObjects BI connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from SAP BusinessObjects BI and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the SAP BusinessObjects BI Connector

To enable Sync to use data from SAP BusinessObjects BI, you first must add the connector, as follows:

  1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

  2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

  3. Click the Sources tab and locate the SAP BusinessObjects BI row.

  4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the SAP BusinessObjects BI connector.
