Re: connecting bics datasource with another SQL/DB2 datasource

Hi Michael,

 

Webi can naturally combine different data sources via the creation of the needed data providers and the dimension merge functionality.  Proceed as follows:

 

1. Create your BEx query and the corresponding BICS OLAP connection

2. Create a relational universe over the DB2 database and the corresponding relational connection


On your webi document:


3. Add a data provider from BEx source

4. Add another data provider from the DB2 universe

5. Combine both providers merging the appropiate dimensions on the resulting microcubes (best practice: use primary/foreign keys instead of text fields).

 

6. Finally create your report using the merged dimensions

 

There are of course other alternatives but I think this would one of the easiest to implement.

 

Regards,

Fernando
