Setting up the relational connection from SAP BusinessObjects BI (BI) to the SAP Netweaver Business Warehouse (BW) is a complex configuration. Many errors are encountered, from the initial error attempting a connection from the Information Design Tool to performance or timeout errors in Web Intelligence.

To assist in a remedy of these issues I have created a step through guidance to check if your configuration was accurately created and configured on both the BI platform and the BW backend.

I will be adding additional troubleshooting links to this page for the most seen issues for connectivity.

I see issues fall into three groups:

Connection Errors
Semi-join Errors
Query Errors

Some issues that have been encountered for Connection Errors:

Configure the BI Environment for a BW Relational Connection for Optimal Performance.
Preparing the BW for a Connection to SAP BI for reporting with a Universe.
Multisource Universe Timeouts with BW Connection.
Webi Report on BW UNX has poor performance.
Webi Report on BW UNX Error.
