Configure Connections to SharePoint
If you have the Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint, you must configure connections in Business Analytics from the Business Analytics Server to SharePoint. You must also configure connections in SharePoint from SharePoint to the Business Analytics Server.
This configuration determines:
How many
Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint licenses are needed.
The
Business Analytics Add-On for SharePoint license defines a maximum number of HTTP domains (domain-name/port combinations) for
SharePoint. You can define any number of connections to the farm as a whole or to specific site collections within a given domain. See
Connection Patterns Between
Business Analytics
Servers
and
SharePoint for more information and examples of how connections affect license usage.
What mashups and apps are visible in
SharePoint site collections to be added to Web Part pages in those sites.
This is determined by the connections you define in SharePoint to Business Analytics Servers. Each connection must also have a valid license, but multiple connections can share a license based on the domains and ports used for your site collections and farms.
What
SharePoint site collections and Lists are visible in
Business Analytics to be registered as mashable information sources or used as information sources in mashups.
This is determined by the connections you define in Business Analytics from the Business Analytics Server to SharePoint farms and site collections. Users can also register SharePoint lists in SharePoint as mashables in Business Analytics, so this only affects users in Business Analytics.
