This is the 3rd and final part of the From Sensor to Cloud tutorial series.

In this tutorial, we will create a Live Data Connection in SAP BusinessObjects Cloud to the HCP view we created. We will create a model based on this connection and make a simple chart to visualize the data.

Pre-requirements:

  • You have prepared views in HCP (or you have completed Part-2 of this tutorial series)

  • You have access to an SAP BusinessObjects Cloud Account


 

1 - Inside SAP BusinessObjects Cloud, go to Connections.



 

2- Create a Live Data Connection

 

3 - Enter Live Data Connection Details. You can see information such as landscape host in Part 2 of this tutorial series. If you have a trial HCP account, select trial for the landscape host. If all goes well, you will see a confirmation that the connection to the HCP account was established.



 



 

4 - Now, we will create a model based on the HCP view in the HCP account that we connected to. We can then consume this model in any story or chart inside SAP BusinessObjects Cloud.



 



 

5 - Enter the model details. Select the calculation view you created on HCP in Part-2 of this tutorial series.



 

6 - Select NONE as the aggregation type so that we can see the raw data. You can modify the aggregation type in order to achieve different aggregations of data.



 

7 - We are almost done. We will now create a story and a chart based on this model.



 

8 - Insert a chart.



 

9 - Select the model we created as the data source.



 

10 - Choose the specified options for the chart and our data is now visualized.

 

Every time you refresh or re-load this story, the data in the chart will be updated to reflect the latest data stored in HCP.
