All of the current Ideas that mention SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe integration are marked as completed as this feature was offered pre June/July release. This is nearly a critical requirement for adoption in my organization.

I had previously heard that this was removed due to licencing restrictions, can we get an official response on that? Is there any possibility of this being re-integrated?

Unfortunately, the Business Objects connector was removed due to a number of reasons.

SAP HANA and SAP BW, but not SAP BO, why?

Critical to get a market and adoption from customers with existing BO solution

RE: SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe

I believe many organizations need this connectivity. We are one of them, who are evaluating Power BI as the frontend solution to our existing BI architecture. It's highly unlikely we can make huge changes to the BI backend which relies on HANA and BW.

This is very much needed in my organization as well... Please bring it back or provide an alternative.

RE: SAP BusinessObjects BI Universe

I agree that this functionality is key to a lot of enterprise customers. It was one of the key elements in our strategy to provide open access to all enterprise users, using PowerBI tools. Please provide some direction as to where Microsoft is going with PowerBI/SAP (ECC and BW) integration.
