RE: SAP

Hi Miguel,

https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/6917475-business-objects refers to Power BI Designer and is marked as complete. The ask here is for the BO data source in Power BI Desktop.

When will that be made available ?

RE: SAP

We are an SAP house so real time dashboards from our SAP HANA, ECC and BW. Priority in that order.

I believe you now have a HANA connector that we are working with our Microsoft Account team to investigate. This would be very useful.

Today we mostly leverage SAP BW and have built BO universes on top of our existing datasets. To contemplate a global migration to Power BI we would need to leverage this existing investment and have a secure and efficient pull of data at runtime to minimize data security challenges and minimal replication of data between our systems.

Today we also use the data access authorisations from our SAP systems. Tapping into this so prevent building a new data security layer would also be a game changer.
