Impactful Individualsap to PBI
hi a peer asked for direction if she wants to plumb pbi to sap. i think the eversion of sap is called s4. she has credentials to log into sap.
i told her i thought she would have to start on the desktop and choose an sap connector. I told her i didnt know which sap connector.
i told her i thought pbi would talk her thru an install of that connector locally. but that since she doesnt have admin on her own pc, someone would likely have to step in.
i told her she'd probably need an admin role on sap because during install the software would ask her to login to sap. if she couldnt get it, someone would need to step in unless they set up tokens on sap. these are all guesses on my part.
i told her when she publishes to the cloud, someone would have first needed to install a gateway service on the sap server.
all conjecture on my part, can the community tell me how close i am?
Direct access to the SAP HANA OLTP is usually verboten, you are supposed to use the reporting connectors
