SAP BW Coonection

Is it possible to have a Reporting Services Data Source connect to a SAP BW
cube?I have limited knowledge in this area, but this much I know:
SAP adopted Microsoft's OLEDB for OLAP interface for talking to BW cube.
Look at the following URL:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/OLE%20DB%20for%20OLAP.pdf
You should therefore be able to use MDX to query the cube. If you don't like
writing MDX queries, you can check out Proclarity Reporting Services Add-in
which will enable you to create the queries using a graphical designer. check
it out on Proclarity's website.
So the answer to your question is "most definitely, yes".
