Hi,

Yes, SAP BW is a supported OLAP source for Cognos 8.  Look in the New Features guide - it's mentioned as a supported source on Page 12.  There's also a whole chapter on modelling SAP BW metadata in Framework Manager in the Framework Manager User's Guide - Chapter 5. Appendix E of the same guide covers externalizing BW dimensions too.

Best regards,

MF.
