Reasons to Convert
6 Customer © 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.
Benefits of converting to Web Intelligence
There are different reasons why companies decide to undertake projects to convert
their Desktop Intelligence content to Web Intelligence. The benefits of these
projects to move to Web Intelligence can be measured in several ways:
• Reduced total cost of ownership (license price, maintenance cost, …)
• Reduced deployment time, resulting in a shorter time to market
• Business user empowerment through the ease of use and the large feature set
• Support for a more cost-beneficial architecture than Desktop Intelligence
• End-of-Life of Desktop Intelligence

Desktop Intelligence End of Life - Reminder
SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x will not include Desktop Intelligence

Planning, the Conversion process; Step by Step
Step 1: get the lists of the documents from the various business departments
along with their priorities
Step 2: set full client documents as source, migrate these with the upgrade
management tool.
Step 3: run the conversion using the report conversion tool
Step 4: review conversion result, review the logs
Step 5 :Estimate the level of rework for each document. Set categories: no
rework / some rework / a lot of rework / needs to be recreated
If not validated, the documents are sent back to the conversion team
14 Customer © 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.
Planning, the Conversion process; Step by Step
Step 6: handle the rework
3 versions: source, in progress, completed
Checking the content and testing the refresh

Checklist
16 Customer © 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.
Checklist: Gathering requirements
Gathering
information on Deski
features commonly
used (Free Hand
SQL, grouping, VBA
etc…
1- Review current BO environment
Newer systems have a direct upgrade path
Older systems may require extra steps
2- Impact on users
Deski is End of Life. Assess impact of
reducing then stopping the usage of Deski.
Conversion available but rework might be
needed
3- Features
Some features may be included already in XI
3.1 or staged to a later BI 4 release
Lots have been introduced
Some features are deprecated or replaced
Identify most used
and important
reports. Identify pain
points, check if Webi
can address them
Review versions
(BO5,6,XI,XIR2
etc..) to define
appropriate
migration path
17 Customer © 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.
Checklist: Gathering requirements
4- Content inventory and cleanup
Should you migrate all Deski reports content
or take the opportunity for some cleanup?
Identify unused report for archiving
5- User Acceptance / Validation
Set categories: no rework / some rework / a
lot of rework / needs to be recreated
Estimate the level of rework for each
document
6- User training
Discuss training / support needs with users
Use RCT to review
and assess the level
of work needed.
Apply workarounds
for feature gaps
Recommendation to
at least do some
cleanup before
upgrading
Use Classroom, e-
learning, SDN
forums as useful
resources

About Upgrade management tool Desktop Intelligence
Plug-In
Using the Desktop Intelligence plug-in for the upgrade management tool is optional
Use when Desktop Intelligence document dependencies are not clear, and when you will
be using the 4.0 Report Conversion tool rather than the XI 3.x Report conversion tool to
convert Desktop Intelligence documents.
The plug-in is intended only to calculate dependencies and bring it forward to 4.0 CMS, not
to upgrade Desktop Intelligence documents.

Code Migration : A case by case assessment
1- Assess the use of VBA in your company
Have you invested a lot in macros ?
Are the macros critical for your day to day
operations?
2- Review of BI 4 platform and reporting offer
Does the BI4 embed the features that can
replace the macros developed?
Do the BI4 features enable workarounds that
can be used instead of the macros?
3- Assess current and future SDK possibilities
Our macros really needs to be rewritten?
XIR3 RE SDKs : Java and .NET
BI 4 RE SDKs : Evolving, see next slide.
Can we take
advantage of webi
catchup and new
features to work
more efficiently?
Can we make the
transition smoothly
without the use of
our old macros?
Can the SDK
offering fill the gaps
and can answer
your needs ?

Code Migration : BI4.1 WebIntelligence SDK limitations

A Solution which:
Allows consumption .rep from BI 4

Using DCP (1)
To enable DCP and connect Deski XI3.1 SP6 FP1 or higher against a BI4.1
environment a single configuration steps have to be executed:
Manually copy the <server>.extranet file
copy from: "C:\Users\<User>\Documents\My SAP BusinessObjects
Documents\LocData” (BI41 location)
to: "C:\Users\<User>\Documents\My Business Objects Documents\LocData”
(XI31 location)
To create the file if not available, please check the DCP FAQ
72 Customer © 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.
Using DCP (2)
Are there any changes in functionality when using DCP?
Except for Scheduling, DeskI Desktop Client with DCP is expected to have the
same behavior and functional capabillities of DeskI 3.1
Running Macros with 3.1 CMS when DCP is installed
If you use DeskI SDK script, please refer to SAP NOTE: 1896616
73 Customer © 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.
DCP Limitations
As there are no Desktop Intelligence engines within the BI4.x Platform,
several limitation are to be considered when leveraging DCP
1. Scheduling is processed on client side (using Windows Scheduler)
2. DCP Scheduling is only compatible with Windows 7/8/8.1
3. When the user is connected to a BI 4.1, Login As to a SBOP Enterprise 3.1
Server will not work due to limitations. The user will have to Exit DeskI
client and login to the SBOP Enterprise 3.1 Server
4. Opening DeskI Desktop Client in 3-tier/ZABO mode from BI Launchpad is
NOT supported
5. When BI 4.1 Clients is installed side by side to 3.1 Clients, Opening DeskI
3.1 from Infoview will not work
74 Customer © 2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.
DCP Scheduling
Scheduling for DCP is executed by Windows Scheduler (Win7/8/8.1) on the
client side (no server based scheduling)
Scheduling works in both 2 and 3 tier mode
Schedules can be created while importing/exporting documents
Schedules can be managed via Windows Task Scheduler
