How to Install Scheduling Add-on for Analysis Office and Initial Observations
Yesterday Bharath Ramamurthy posted AO Precalculation and Scheduling available in SMP (15th Nov 2013)
Step 1 is to download the BIP add-on for scheduling from Service Marketplace.
Then extract the files on your machine, and select the Setup. It will do a check as follows:
Click Next
Click Next
Click Next
Click Next
Click Finish
You are prompted to enter the Administrator’s password.
It takes a while to install, similar to the BI Platform add-on for SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio.
Once it successfully installs, you can follow the steps for scheduling documents.
Some observations from me:
1) older version workbooks schedule without checking the type of OLAP connection
2) Analysis Office 1.4 workbooks scheduled require an OLAP SSO connection
It is good to see a feature added that was requested by an ASUG Influence Council.
