In this post I will show you how I succeeded connecting SAP BO Platform 4.2 on the Cloud with my local SAP HXE instance (VM) for educational purposes only.
Scenario:
In my case, I do not have any of the SAP BI Client Tools, such as SAP BO IDT, SAP BO Webi Rich client, SAP Design Studio, and so forth installed on my devices. Reason is because I do not have authorization to download any software from SAP Download Center (which makes sense). So, my only gateway is the SAP BI Launchpad.
