Authenticate a SAPByDesign Account

Set the following connection properties to connect to SAP ByDesign.

Connect to a Analytical Service or a Custom Service

• Url: Set this to the Url of your SAP ByDesign site. For example, https://test.sapbydesign.com. If you want to retrieve the reports of a analytical service, specify AnalyticsService.
