Question & Answer

Q: Will the slides be available?

A: Slides are already posted at https://discuss.asug.com/docs/DOC-48711 – please logon to asug.com first

Q:How do we connect to BO Universes?

A: you cannot connect to universes; use Live Office for this

Q: when releasing new version of Analysis, do we plan to apply cloud model and premise both ? seems that analysis office 2.6 is the case?

A: not sure I follow- it works with with on-premise and cloud models

Q: When is convergance of Analysis & Live Office planned for?

Q: Can we create variables with “IF” statements in it? Can we move key figures to be amongst the dimensions & not stuck at the end of the table?

A: It should work; similar to VLOOKUP

Q: AFO publication bursting supported yet?

A: yes, part of this presentation – BI4.2 SP5

Q: Can we “rename” dimensions for reporting without going back to the bex query in AO?

A: Yes, already there for quite a while

Q: Is there a way to set AO so it does not fetch all Key Figures/Measures by default? This was easy in BEx but does not exist in AO. It displays all by default

A: BEx – handled in query; if HANA – this defaults; no way around – could use query views

Q: Is there any plan to support parallel data source execution ?

A: can do that already in HANA out of the box; BW does not support it

Q: Not just publication….but bursting like Webi. I must have missed it….

A: bursting = publications; referring to something else?

Q: With BW 7.5 and BEx sunset in 2021, will AO convert workbook b enhanced?
