1 How Can This Script Be Used?
This demo script has been written for usage with the SAP S/4HANA 2021 Fully-Activated Appliances (in short
“appliance” in this script), hence you will need such an appliance to make use of this guide. Depending on your
exact release, minor differences between software and guide might occur.
The appliance can be brought up in two ways, and the demo scenario in this script is largely the same for both:
If you are new to the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance, introductory information can be found here:
https://blogs.sap.com/2018/12/12/sap-s4hana-fully-activated-appliance-create-your-sap-s4hana-1809-
system-in-a-fraction-of-the-usual-setup-time/
Important:
Before you start your demo, please read SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance: Demo Scripts for information
about necessary preparations, especially any post-deployment steps to ensure the full functionality of your
appliance. These steps are covered in sections
B) General Remarks
C) Post-deployment Steps
D) Log-on to the system
Besides this, you will also find links to all demo scripts on this page.

2 General remarks
This script shows three possible capabilities for analytical scenarios within SAP S/HANA:
1. Embedded Analytics
2. SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform
3. SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)
This should help you decide next steps depending on your business needs, existing licensing & infrastructure, and
so on.
The script focuses on generic feature views of the various analytics tools (how to connect them, available user
interface functions, etc.) and doesn’t go into specific business processes. And it only describes a very small
portion of the available capabilities. Please see the SAP documentation and other sources for more information.

3 Embedded Analytics
This demo covers the different visualization options available to the end user in SAP S/4HANA embedded analytics.
We will not go through a full business process but rather highlight some of the actions that are possible using
embedded analytics.
Note:
Depending on the release / feature package stack (FPS) that you are using, the screens might look a bit different
due to different Fiori themes used. You can toggle the Fiori themes in the “Me” area → Settings.

Click on the “Sales
Order Fulfillment” tile.
Click Go.
6
In this screen you have
the option to analyze
the issue with the
specific sales order and
the status.
Note:
In this guide, we will not
show how to solve a
specific issue (since this
varies depending on the
sales order you chose),
but highlight some of
the integrated follow-up
options within the app
(to enable “insight-to-
action”).
7
In the Related Apps
section, you can
navigate to the
configured transactional
apps.

3.2 Analytical Report (example of Sales Volume Analysis)
If you have used the appliance in older releases, you might notice that the following section has changed (from
SAP Design Studio to a Web Dynpro grid). Please see the following SAP Note for more information:
3081996 - Deprecation of SAP Design Studio Apps in SAP S/4HANA 2021

4 SAP Business Objects BI Platform
This scenario explains how to access the SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4.3 that can be included optionally into
your instance.
Since the SAP S/4HANA 1909 release of the appliance, there is no pre-configured content such as dashboards,
reports etc. for the BI platform anymore.
You still can create your own BI artifacts, either directly in the web interface of the BI platform or by using the
standard authoring tools e.g. Lumira Discovery / Designer that are installed on the remote desktop of the
appliance.
If you are running this scenario on your own hardware (i.e. you received the appliance via download or Blu-Ray):
There is no BI landscape contained in the local shipment, hence, you need to install a BI platform on your own and
make the connection to your locally installed SAP S/4HANA system.
20
4.2.1 Accessing the BI platform 4.3
What to Do
What You Will See
Open the BI launch pad
http://bihost:8080/BOE/BI
(hosts file mapping needed,
see Getting Started guide).
System: bihost:6400
User: BPINST
Password: Welcome1
Potential troubleshooting:
If you see a message about a
RESTful Web Services failed
logon, you most likely did not
use the URL
http://bihost.8080 but a URL
with the IP-address of the BI
platform.
21
4.3 Connecting the BI platform to SAP S/4HANA
The following sections briefly describe how the connection to the SAP S/4HANA is defined in the BI platform that
you can use as part of the SAP CAL offering.
If you have obtained the appliance via download or Blu-Ray shipment, you need to enter these settings within your
own BI platform.
System: bihost:6400
User: Administrator
Password: Welcome1
Authentication: Enterprise
22
The pre-defined connection into
SAP S/4HANA is displayed
(using the system alias
vhcals4hcs).
23
5 Demo Guide: Integration with SAP
Analytics Cloud (SAC)
The appliance can be connected to the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), allowing you to create analytical visualizations
for the data residing in SAP S/4HANA.
For this scenario, you need an account for the SAP Analytics Cloud since this cannot be delivered as part of the
appliance.
Since there are many tutorials on the SAP Analytics Cloud page and in the Internet for SAC usage, we will only
describe a basic “live connection” scenario in this guide and refer to the existing tutorials for details at the end of
this guide.
SAP S/4HANA backend system Use the appliance or any other S/4HANA on-premise
system
SAP Analytics Cloud account Use an existing SAC account or get one from SAP Store:
https://www.sapstore.com/solutions/40117/SAP-
Analytics-Cloud-for-Business-Intelligence.
For SAP Partners, the T&D license 8004109 will also be
sufficient for such an account (please see SAP PartnerEdge
for details).
The free SAC trial on SAP Store (or the link on the SAC site
https://www.sapanalytics.cloud/ → Try it free), does not
contain the option to connect to an SAP S/4HANA system.
24
5.2.2 Supported browsers & certificate handling
SAP Analytics Cloud is optimized for Google Chrome, other browsers might have functional limitations (for
details, please see here).
There are two ways for using Google Chrome in the appliance: either on the remote desktop of the appliance or on
your local computer.
5.3 Demo scenarios for the SAP Analytics Cloud & SAP
S/4HANA
There are many tutorials in the Internet that describe how to use SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) with SAP S/4HANA,
plus there’s lot of pre-defined SAP content that can be directly loaded into your SAC tenant.
In this guide, we will only show how to establish the connection between SAC and S/4HANA, and how to create a
very basic chart on top of S/4HANA content.
For more detailed scenarios, please have a look at the referenced tutorials at the end of this guide.
25
5.3.1 Create an SAC connection to the Fully-Activated
Appliance
26
What to Do What You Will See

user e.g. BPINST /
Welcome1).
Recommended:
The name of the
connection should be
SAPEMC if you would like
to use pre-delivered SAC
content (not described in
this demo guide) since it
uses this connection
name.
But you can also choose
an arbitrary name and add
SAPEMC as a 2nd
connection.
