Query as a Web Service is a wizard-based application that enables users to create custom web services for specific queries against a SAP Business Objects universe. Once they have been created the queries can be integrated with other applications or tools. The integration ensures that the SAP Business Objects universe becomes the central hub for delivering secure, trusted information wherever it is needed. For example, a Web Service Query on a SAP Business Objects universe can be used to feed data in to a Xcelsius dashboard. The wizard is a client based component that is simple to use enabling both application developers and business users to quickly create their own queries. After creating the query a URL is generated for the Web Service. The URL can then be added to other applications. The generated Web Service can be consumed by any web service-enabled application.
