Activate Business content - "In dataflow afterwards" or "Only necessary" ?

Hello experts,
I would like to activate the business content for 0FI_GL_1 infosource. I am not sure which method to follow. Can you please advice?
Method 1
AWB --> Business Content --> From the left most frame Clicked on "Object types"
In the right most (3rd) frame set the grouping to "In dataflow afterwards"
In the second frame expanded the "Info sources" and clicked on "Select objects"
In the popup window, searched for "0FI_GL_1" and clicked on "Transfer Datasource"
And then choose "Install" from the right most frame
It activated lot of unnecessary stuff like Infosets, Multi Provider etc
Method 2
AWB --> Business Content --> From the left most frame Clicked on "Object types"
In the right most (3rd) frame set the grouping to "Only necessary objects"
In the second frame expanded the "Info sources" and clicked on "Select objects"
In the popup window, searched for "0FI_GL_1" and clicked on "Transfer Datasource"
And then choose "Install" from the right most frame
Repeat the above steps for the all (Infocube, ODS, update rule, transfer rule)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Installing the BC is depends upon your requirement.Please see the folowing information regarding BC installment.
<b>In Data Flow Before</b>
If your start point is an InfoCube, all those objects that are in the data flow before the InfoCube, and are therefore necessary for providing data to the InfoCube, are collected. This includes, for example, update rules and InfoSources.  So that these objects can be activated, all the corresponding objects required for these objects have to be collected in addition. For activating an InfoSource, InfoObjects may also be necessary which are not contained in the InfoCube and have therefore not yet been collected. However, for these additional objects, the objects that come before them in the data flow are not collected.
<b>In Data Flow Afterwards</b>
For example, if your start point is an InfoCube, all those objects that are in the data flow after the InfoCube, and are therefore reporting objects that serve to display the data stored in the InfoCube, are collected. This includes, for example, queries and Web templates. So that these objects can be activated, all the corresponding objects required for these objects have to be collected in addition. For activating a role, additional workbooks that are based on other InfoCubes may also be necessary. However, for these additional objects, the objects that come after them in the data flow are not collected. These additional workbooks cannot be used for reporting unless they are transferred from the Business Content by some other means.
<b>
In Data Flow Before and Afterwards</b>
For example, when using an InfoCube, the objects necessary for activating the InfoCube are collected together with other objects that are required for activating those objects collected as well. This includes objects positioned both before and after the InfoCube in the data flow. 
With the InfoCube, all incoming data streams and the evaluation string are activated. Both are then completed with data streams, enabling a complete evaluation in the workbooks.
<b>Collection Mode</b>
Collect Automatically (default setting): The data is collected directly when the objects are selected.
Start Manual Collection: The data is collected only when you click on the  Gather Dependent Objects icon.
Set the collection mode to Start Manual Collection. You can then select all objects without having to wait.
Thanks

    Hi,
    To actiavte the objects in the BI content u can select which ever object u want and then select the collection mode as all the objects before and after....
    this will ideally activate all the objects that are required for the functionin of the object that you have selected .......
    In simpler way....
    RSA1-> Business Contents-> Select your objects-> On the right hand side, select "automatic collection" under "collection mode" and Select "before and after data flow" -> Right Click the selected objects on the left hand side and right click -> Insert Objects for collection-> Once the selected objects comes to the right hand side, select "install" and click "install in background".
    See this also....

  • How to activate business content for 0TCA_DS01

    I need to set up authorizations in netweaver BI using the following objects:
    0tca_ds01
    0tca_ds02
    0tca_ds03
    0tca_ds04
    0tca_ds05
    I've looked at trxn RSA5 in our HR system, but I'm not able to identify the datasources that feed the 0tca_ds0* objects.  What are the HR datasources for these objects? 
    Thanks,
    Den

    I put my thoughts in here..
    For any Analysis authorizations (HR & CO) currently available -prerequisite is extractor available in R/3.
    To my knowledge the only available extractors for HR are
    0HR_PA_2                          HR Structural Authorizations- Values
    0HR_PA_3                          HR Structural Authorizations - Hierarchies
    and the relative DSO for aforementioned DS are -
    0PA_DS02 and 0PA_DS03.
    I would like SAP to answer the same.
    <b>CO</b> -
    the datasource available is 0CO_OM_CCA_USER1.
    A complete scenario is available. Transfer the content objects: 0CO_OM_CCA_USER1 (DataSource and InfoSource), as well as the DataStore objects including update rules 0CCA_001, 0CCA_002, 0CCA_003.

  • How to activate business content extractor for masterdata in ECC 6.0?

    Hi Experts,
    I have a small problem with the extracttor 0PS_RESPNO_TEXT in ECC 6.0?
    If i try to open it in RSA2 / RSA6, it says that active version not available. When i check in the developement system, i have it as modified version.
    For this problem, I hope activating this in Development and transporting to Prodction should fix.
    As far as i know, activation of sap delivered extractors can be done through SBIW or RSA5. But i have not done this before.
    Can anybody please help me with step by step procedure to activate this and also what are the precautions and checks that need to be preformed?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Asrar Ahamed MA

    It depends on which BW environment has an RFC connection to the ECC environment you're activating the DataSource in. Typically, environments are paired, similar (but not always) like the depiction below:
    ECC Development <-> BW Development
    ECC QA <-> BW QA
    ECC Production <-> BW Production
    Best Practices suggest that a DataSource be activated and put on a transport in the ECC Development environment. Upon activation of the DataSource in ECC Development, replication of the DataSource in the BW Development environment can take place and Best Practices suggest putting the DataSource on a transport in BW. As the ECC transport is promoted throughout the ECC landscape, the BW transport is promoted throughout the BW landscape in order to keep them in sync.
    So, if the envrionment that you've just activated the DataSource has an RFC connection to your BW Production environment, you can replicate in BW Production and if that's your standard practice, then that's the way your should do it. It's typically, however, not considered a Best Practice to be able to create, update or delete in a production environment.

  • Activate BI Business Content in production system

    Hi experts
    I have a doubt, someone activated business content in production system, what are the consecuences in the future?
    Are there any procedure to follow to activate business content from developement system and then to transport to QAS and PRS?
    Edited by: José Jaramillo Padrón on Dec 15, 2008 11:32 PM

    Hi
    what are the consecuences in the future?
    Yes Its not advisable to activate the Business Content in Production server, because all the final Reporting Data will be fetched for the users from the same Production server and we should keep the system ready and available for all the time for the data loading and reporting.
    If you are engaging the the system in activating the BC (hope you know that BC activation takes time and while activating it will lock all the dependent objects involved in it)
    Are there any procedure to follow to activate business content from developement system and then to transport to QAS and PRS?
    BC should be activated from Dev then Transport it to Quality testing activities user acceptance then transport finally to PRS.
    Hope you know the steps for activating BC or else http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw31/helpdata/en/80/1a66d5e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

  • Business content activation in BI 7

    Hi - We are on BI 7 and trying to activate business content.  When I try to install an
    infocube with dataflow "Before and After" ie including infosource and datasources
    I get this message....
    "On the following screen, logon with your user so that the
    system can check whether you are authorized in BW to
    transfer DataSources into the source system from the Content"
    is this a new feature in BI 7 to activate R/3 datasources from BW ?
    I know the old way...
    1.  Frist activate R/3 datasource
    2.  Replicate the metadata in BW
    3.  Then activate business content.
    will the new feature in 7 do the first two steps from BW side ?
    In your projects did you use this new feature and how is it
    working with you ?
    Pls point to any material to read about his new feature
    Thanks.

    Sabrina,
    When you select "Before and After" you include also the "Source System" objects portion.
    Just make sure you uncheck whatever objects are below the "Source System" subtree. Then you should be fine since only the BI objects will be checked.
    Hope this helps.

  • Master data object business content activation

    Hello ,
    How to activate business content for master data ingoobjects . Like 0p_plant .
    I activated PP cube and just want to proceed now for masterdata with out missing it's attribute .
    Should I drag infoobject and select dataflow before , Is it correct method ? But in this case , I am getting so many other object which i don't want .
    I only want to activate master data object , ( it's datasources , transferrule , update rule and infopackage if possible )
    PLease suggest

    Hi Akshay,
    you can very activate the object of your own choice by simple drag and drop.
    Howcver, this is usually not recommended as you might miss objects which are very important in the data flow.
    Apart from this you can also make selections of the objects from all the object included due to the option " before and after data flow" by checking or unchecking them while installing your content.

  • Active transactional datasources not listed in business content collection

    Dear experts,
    for SRM bidding engine i have activated the extractors in SRM through transaction RSA5 and put them on a transport. Replicated them in BW and their they are appearing correctly, activated them and provided infopackages.
    Now when i want to activate Business Content SRM role SAP_BW_SRM_ACT_BE and after grouping look for the transactional datasources, they are not listed in the list of objects (grouped 'before and after', collection 'automatic').
    1.Is this normal and do i need to make the links between datasources and infosouces myself after activating the role?
    2.or does it normally installs the entire flow correctly?
    Also weird - my datasources are BI7.0 and some of my BW SRM content is from older 3.x version, containng infosources and communications structures. Can this be the reason why Business Content grouping does not find the datasources?
    Regards,
    Steven

    Hi,
    looked at the note but did not provide more info as i already applied what is written in the note.
    This role for bidding engine after I have put it into the collective window, among the other objects it will activate it does not list the datasources of the transactional data, nor the links to the infosources.
    Installing it like this will require me to connect the datasources manually to the dataflow, which i want to avoid.
    Is there a way to make BW connect the transactional datasources of SRM Bidding Engine connect automatically with the business content BW flow of Bidding Engine? this i though would be done by collecting it (before and after), grouping (automatically).
    Regards,
    steven

  • BI 7.0 Installing Business Content

    Can anyone tell me the steps that are required to activate business content in BI 7.0?
    Thank You

    Hi SRX,
    If you use only the ABAP components of an SAP NetWeaver stack, you should use the standard process to implement, configure and activate BI content. For more information, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm ® Data Warehousing ® Data Warehouse Management ® Business Content (Versions).
    1. You download and update SAP Solution Manager content.
    2. In SAP Solution Manager, you select your business scenario.
    3. In SAP Solution Manager, you adapt your business scenario.
    4. In the software lifecycle manager (part of usage type AS Java), you check your IT landscape for required products.
    5. In the software lifecycle manager, you check your IT landscape for required content software components.
    6. In the Administrator Workbench (part of usage type BI) or Portal Content Studio (part of usage type EP), you install any missing business content shipment units.
    7. In SAP Solution Manager, you generate a configuration task list.
    8. In the Administrator Workbench or Portal Content Studio, you configure content objects.
    9. In the Administrator Workbench or Portal Content Studio, you activate selected content objects.
    10. You test and transport your changes.

  • Restrict Business Content Activation

    Does anyone know of a way to restrict business content activation while still allowing developers to maintain objects in BW 7.0?  I ran a trace while someone was activating an InfoObject and didn't see anything that I could use to achieve this level of control.  If I remove the S_RS_ADMWB Maintenance (ACTVT=23) authorization for INFOOBJECT, then that stops the activation; however, we want our developers to be able to maintain existing InfoObjects.  We just don't want most to be able to activate business content.
    Thanks,
    Gail

    Thanks for your response, Raghu. 
    We have our own SAP development team at my company and don't typically use many consultants.  It has always been our philosophy to allow our SAP developers to have comparable access across all our SAP development environments (e.g., ECC development, BW development, etc.) for cross-training purposes.  But in reality, only a handful of our developers are very knowledgeable in our BW environment; we call them our "BW Administrators".  These BW Administrators have concerns that one of the other developers who has played around in the BW environment but isn't all that knowledgeable might activate business content without realizing the implications of what they're doing.  We would like for all of our developers to have RSA1 etc. so they can learn more about BW; however, per request of our BW Administrators, we want to restrict them such that they can't activate business content.  But as you said (and per authorization tracing that I've done), there doesn't appear to be a way to restrict them from activating business content without also restricting them in other areas where we don't want them restricted.  I guess we'll have to rely on administrative controls (i.e., training).

  • Business Content Source System Assignment???

    Hi Gurus,
    i am installing Business content and after going thru few posts in this Forums i have been hearing about Source system assignment in the Business content screen.
    but when ever i installed i never really used this option and we have only one R/3 source system
    Can anybody explain me its functionality please
    thankyou
    harish

    When you activate Business Content, DataSources from source systems are assigned to InfoSources in SAP BW. If you do not select a source system, all source systems are automatically assigned. If you have several source systems this may take a lot of time because transfer rules have to be activated for each DataSource from each source system.
    However an assignment of a DataSource to an InfoSource may not be necessary for all existing Source systems.
    Assign only the source systems you need to load data from for the Business Content Objects that you are going to activate.
    You can subsequently change the selection you made.
    The assignment of source systems is only relevant for transfer rules, DataSources and InfoPackages. If there is more than one source system, only those objects assigned to the specified source system are collected for the transfer. Objects that have not been assigned to the specified source systems are ignored.

  • Transport request for Business Content

    Hi SDN Gurus,
    We have a Fresh BI 7.0 System and we are Doing a CRM implementation project. This requires standard Business Content related to CRM opportunity and Activity cubes. I have installed(Activated) the relevant Business Content for the same. As this is my Development system for demo purpose all the relevant Business Content objects are stored in $tmp package.
    My Question is whether we need to allocate a separate package and Request for Transporting the same(All the Activated Business Content) to QA system or only custom created Objects required to be Transported as a new request to QA.
    Please clarify whether the same Objects ($temp business content) will be available in the QA in activated state or we need to Activate the Business Content in QA also.
    Any help will be rewarded.
    Thanks
    Vish

    Hi Vishwanath,
    You need to put(collect) all the business content objects along with your custom created objects in a separate package and put them in a new request.
    The business content will be activated in Quality system only when you activate these in Development and transport it to Quality.
