Connecting to SAP BusinessObjects BI with Python

CData Python Connectors leverage the Database API (DB-API) interface to make it easy to work with SAP BusinessObjects BI from a wide range of standard Python data tools. Connecting to and working with your data in Python follows a basic pattern, regardless of data source:

  • Configure the connection properties to SAP BusinessObjects BI
  • Query SAP BusinessObjects BI to retrieve or update data
  • Connect your SAP BusinessObjects BI data with Python data tools.


Connecting to SAP BusinessObjects BI in Python

To connect to your data from Python, import the extension and create a connection:

import cdata.sapbusinessobjectsbi as mod
conn = mod.connect("User=user@domain.com; Password=password;")

#Create cursor and iterate over results
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Resources")
 
rs = cur.fetchall()
 
for row in rs:
print(row)

Once you import the extension, you can work with all of your enterprise data using the python modules and toolkits that you already know and love, quickly building apps that help you drive business.

Visualize SAP BusinessObjects BI Data with pandas

The data-centric interfaces of the SAP BusinessObjects BI Python Connector make it easy to integrate with popular tools like pandas and SQLAlchemy to visualize data in real-time.

engine = create_engine("sapbusinessobjectsbi///Password=password&User=user")

df = pandas.read_sql("SELECT * FROM Resources", engine)

df.plot()
plt.show()
