Über den Autor
Loren Heilig is the founder of IBSolution GmbH and has been its managing director since 2003. IBSolution GmbH is an innovative SAP NetWeaver service provider that has made a name for itself as a specialist in complex SAP NetWeaver projects. With predefined packages, IBSolution also proves that SAP projects don't always have to be expensive. Before founding IBSolution GmbH, Loren was a project lead at SAP Systems Integration AG and SAP AG. There he was responsible for setting up a BW consultancy team that focused on HR, and he coordinated the BW/HR projects at Saudi Aramco (in Saudi Arabia). In addition to more than twelve years of experience with the BW system (he implemented his first BW project with BW 1.2a), he has also conducted BW system training at SAP Germany and Switzerland for many years. Before beginning his professional career, Loren Heilig received a degree in industrial engineering from Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Germany. At IBSolution, he is responsible for the Sales and Marketing area. He also compiles the overall strategy of IBSolution and develops new business fields, such as master data processes and SAP NetWeaver Identity Management.

During his first years in the SAP consulting area, he focused on reporting and analysis. He was responsible for the conceptual development and implementation of dashboards and portal-based analysis solutions. He then focused on the BW backend area. Today, Torsten primarily assumes responsibility for the design and development of LSA architectures and EDW concepts. He has many years of experience in the EDI area, which qualifies him in particular for the area of non-SAP system connections. Within EDW projects, he is the expert in data retrieval and data provision. In addition to his position at SAP Deutschland AG & Co.

Among other things, the BW add-on portfolio comprises dashboards that can be created with little effort and high integrity in the BEx Web Application Designer and the export of BW reports to Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word, or PowerPoint. Thilo’s many years of experience with SAP NetWeaver BW and his knowledge of the requirements and problems involved using BI solutions ensure that all products support all specifications and popular functions of SAP NetWeaver BW.

The Best BW and BusinessObjects Book on the market in 2012!
29. Februar 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
First I have to make one clarification: I say it is THE BEST BW and BusinessObjects book on the market simply because it is the most comprehensive and best written book (I have them all since 2006).
This book is 795 pages of details and overview of each of the tools with practical examples and simple clear recommendations. Almost all pages include the phrase "we recommend...." and much of the test is written in this simple "you" and "we" prose. Something that makes this book easily understandable and a quick read. Best of all, it clearly demonstrates that the book is not reformatted PowerPoint slides like some other BusinessObjects books.
The chapters are organized as:
1. BI Fundamentals - 57 pages with intro text for the beginner (great for students and new employees)
2. Overview of BW 7.3 and BI 4.0 - 70 pages with high level overview of BW data warehouse and a summary of the BusinessObjects tool. This is well written and is specific to the latest version of BW and BOBJ.
3. Data Modeling - 188 pages of real 'meat' on how to build BW InfoCubes, DSOs, data flows, aggregates, BWA and a solid how-to approach to this text makes it invaluable.
4. Extraction - 32 pages. This is too short, but it covers the basics of how to load BW 7.3. I would have liked to see more on write-optimized DSOs, buffering for activation and more on the LBWE cockpit. But it covers all the basics...
5. Administration - 30. Short chapter that deals mainly on transports. Have all key ingredients and enough 'meat' to be useful even for experienced basis staff.
6. Authorizations - 26 pages. It is nice to see a BW book that spends more than 2-3 paragraphs on this very important topic. I expect to see even more in this chapter in the next edition of this book (more on BOBJ integration and an updated HANA section).
7. SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform - 36 pages. This is the weakest chapter in the book. More should have been written on public folders of BI launchpad, inboxes, server management, but it provides a good starting point for a beginner.
8. BEx query designer - 63 pages. It is really great to see that the authors understand that the BEx query is a central part of the BI landscape. I shiver when I read books from so-called 'experts' that suggest bypassing BW features such as the BI analytical engine and simply link the BOBJ tools directly to DSOs (crappy performance) and InfoCubes (thereby bypassing all BI analytical engine functions). These authors get "it" and have this great chapter that should be in all BOBJ books.
9. Query Navigation - 15 pages. Basic navigation stuff that is often missing in other books
10. BEx Analyzer - 22 pages. A good 'nod' to the old tools that are being used by the vast majority of BW users.
11. BusinessObjects Analysis - 20 pages. The fact that this chapter follows the BEx Analyzer chapter demonstrates that the authors understand that this is a replacement of the tool in chapter 10. Nice compare and contrast...
12. BEx Web Analyzer - 37 pages that covers the basics and the Web Application Designer templates from a basic level. I like the split of this tool from the BEx Analyzer (Excel vs. web) instead of placing both in the same chapter (would have been 59 of pages to decipher from each other). Well done!
14. BusinessObjects WebI
15. Crystal reports
16. SAP Dashboards (Xcelsius)
17. SAP BO explorer
This is 77 pages of to-the-point tools overview with good examples and all the 'gotcha' you would expect. Clear recommendations and simple demos/screenshots that is easy to follow. They could be a bit longer and have more examples, but there are books on each of these areas that can compliment these chapters (i.e. "BusinessObjects Dashboards 4.0 Cookbook by Lai and Hacking) and (BusinessObjects Web Intelligence by Brogden, Sinkwitz and Holden). However, having these 4 chapters makes the book tremendously valuable since it is all in a single book, instead of 3-4 others.
18. Integrated Planning - 13 pages. While this technology is probably dying (replaced by BPC), this chapter really needs to be beefed up or removed. 13 pages is simply too little.
19. SAP SEM BCS - 17 pages. Does not belong in this book (dead technology) and should be removed.
Glossary - 10 pages - Awesome!!! Need more.
Tables and core transaction codes - 8 pages - Awesome (more please!)
SAP Notes overview - 4 pages (again: more please, but this is great!)
Overall a very, very, very, good book that I have assigned to all my students at the SAP University Alliance and will be using this and next semester... Strongly recommended!
