To create a Business Objects connection

  1. Click on the Connections toolbar (ALT+F+N).
  2. Select SAP Business Objects from the Group list.
  3. Enter the connection information in the Create New Connection dialog. Review the following for additional information:

    Note: The URL should be in the following format:

    http://<server>:<port>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices

    Password

    Enter the password to use when connecting.

    Tip: After connecting, you can set a master password to further secure your connection in Tools | Options| Environment | Security.

    Category (Optional) Select an existing category or create a new one. Set Connection Categories

    Note: In NoSQL and Business Intelligence connections, Toad automatically saves the password in the connections.xml file as obfuscated text, as well as in Toad. To add additional password security, use Toad's Master Password feature. Security Options

  4. Click Connect to connect immediately while saving the connection information. Optionally, click Save to save the connection without connecting.

Important Information about Business Objects Connections

To create a Business Objects connection in Toad, you must connect to the Query as a Web Service component in Business Objects. The connection URL should have the format:

http://<server>:<port>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices

Where <server> corresponds to your web server address, and <port> corresponds to the port where you set up in your web server. (dswsbobje is the default name of the Query as a Web Service web application.)

An example URL is http://server01:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices.

For more information about the Business Objects component, Query as a Web Service, see the documentation at http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/xir2PP/en/qaaws.pdf.
