Look Up InfoPackage

Use the Look Up InfoPackage dialog box to look up an InfoPackage that is defined in the SAP NetWeaver BI system. When the list of InfoPackages appears, select the InfoPackage that you want, and the destination will populate the associated options with the required values.

The SAP BI destination of the Microsoft Connector for SAP BI uses the Look Up Process Chain dialog box. To learn more about the SAP BI destination, see SAP BI Destination.

Important

The documentation for the Microsoft Connector for SAP BI assumes familiarity with the SAP NetWeaver BI environment. For more information about SAP NetWeaver BI, or for information about how to configure SAP NetWeaver BI objects and processes, see your SAP documentation.

  1. In Business Intelligence Development Studio, open the Integration Services package that contains the SAP BI destination.
  2. On the Data Flow tab, double-click the SAP BI destination.
  3. In the SAP BI Destination Editor, click Connection Manager to open the Connection Manager page of the editor.
  4. On the Connection Manager page, in the InfoPackage/InfoSource group box, click Look up to display the Look Up InfoPackage dialog box.
