Activating BI technical content

HI All,
I have installed BI_CONT 706 on Netweaver 702.I nowwant to activate the technical content.Jjust to check how RSA1 looks like,I ran RSA1 and canceled all the further prompts.The status of the job RS_TCO_ACTIVATION is shown as finished.But I guess the job did not run at all as duration of the job in SM37 is 0 sec and the status in RSTCO_ADMIN is activating.I ran RSA1 again.But now the promts for activation of the job and other prompts are not coming up.What can I do now to activate the BI content.
1.Can I re-run the job RS_TCO_ACTIVATION manully like copying the origial job?
2.Run RSTCO_ADMIN and click on install.Will this option activate the BI content?
Please guide me.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your response.I have found a doc on the following link for the option you have mentioned.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c0e5ca3b-95ce-2b10-4d94-864ab29a8b63
As per the page 14 on a bove link,Please confirm the activation of BI_CONT involves the following.
1.Activate the source system.
2.Replicate data sources.
3.Repair missing infopackages
4.Activate technical content.
5.Schedule Init Process chains

Statistics technical content activation issue with MD process chain in BI7

Hi,
Let me give you history of the issue first.
I had to activate the Statistics in BI7. I followed the SAP Note 965386 and activated the Technical Content.
Faced activation issues in MD process chain, Content Master Data-0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01. It dint get activated, Followed the SAP note 1065919, which asked me to remove the below process from RSPC and activate it.
Load data- Process Variant Attribute and
Load data- Process Variant Text.
I did the same and it got activated after removing them.
Issue is. Later knew that manually activating the Process chain from Content would have activated those Infopackages aswell.
Now how should I get those processes into the chain and activate? Based on your suggestions, I can let you know what all I have been trying to fix it?
Relying on you for solution.
Thanks
Pavan

Thank You Neethika,
I have this issue solved. I replicated the data sources, activated those infoPackages manually and then added those variants into the process chain manually. So my MD chain now has all the necessary process.
Now i need to schedule them and see if it runs with out any errors. I will keep this thread open till i run it to take your help if i get any errors while running them.
Thanks
Pavan

Urgent-Issue with Technical Content.

Hi experts,
we have activated the technical content.Now we are Initilize and run deltas with Process Chain.
Under one of the Infosource loading the datatarget(0BWTC_C02),i have the following standard delivered infopackages
1) Delta - OLAP Transaction Data
2) OLAP Transaction Data Initialization
3) OLAP Transaction Data: Delta Initialization
4) Transaction Data OLAP - Delta
5) Transaction Data OLAP - Delta Initialization
I have checked all these infopackages,i dont see any difference when i tried to compare the selection conditions and datatargets.
Now my question is
1) How do i select which infopackage should be in the process chains?
2) Also do we need to create and delete indexes for the technical content cubes too?
Please advise
thanks in advance
kiran

Hi sunil,
I appreciate your reply.
Issue 1:My question was as i have 5 Standard infopackages with no differences.If you see my first posting.How should i consider which infopackage to choose for in my Process Chain?
Ex: As i see 3 Init Infopackages witht he same name.How should choose which onfopackage to include for the process chain?
Also i see 2 delta infopackages witht almost the similar name.How should i consider which infopackage to include for the process chain.
Issue 2: I do understand that indexes are deleted before loading data for better loading performance and then indexes are created for reporting perfomances.
But my question was do we have to create/delete indexes for Technical content too.What is the recommended solution?What are the Pros and Cons?
Hope i am clear with my questions this time.
thanks in advance

Technical Content - Query Execution

Hi,
I have recently activated the Technical Content.
How do I identify the number of the times the query has been executed by the user? I found one column 'Number of Navigations' in the BW-Statistics workbook. What is this meant for ?
Thanks
Ramesh Ganji

hi Ramesh,
oss note 130696 -Performance trace in BW-Helps may explain the meaning.
to identify number of times query executed, there is keyfigure 0TCTSTAUIK - frequency,
check if helps business content query 0BWTC_C10_Q021
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/68/84353cf261303de10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
you can utilize infoobjects OTCTQUERY, 0TCTSTAUIK (frequency), 0TCTUSERNM, 0TCTNAVCTR from multiprovider 0BWTC_C10
most user-run queries
130696 -Performance trace in BW-Helps
Symptom
How can you monitor the performance of a query in BW?
Other terms
Performance, tracing, BW, query, report, time
Solution
1) Activate the saving of statistical data for each InfoCube
-> BW Admin Workbench - Tools -> BW Statistics for Infoproviders ->
Select the "OLAP" field for the InfoCube.
3) Execute report/query
2) Analyze the RSDDSTAT table using Transaction SE16
Access, for example, using the InfoCube name or the user name or the
timestamp
1. Times that are saved:
QTIMEOLAPINIT
Time of the initialization of the query (for example, loading query in OLAP, compiling if required)
QTIMEOLAP
Time that the OLAP processor required
QTIMEDB
Time the database + network required to select the transaction data. The time is measured from when the SQL command is send to the database, and it is stopped when the requested data reaches the application server. This time therefore includes the transport on the network and the selection on the database.
QTIMEVARDP
Time the user required to enter the variables
QTIMEUSER
Time the user required between the navigation steps
QTIMECLIENT
Time of data formatting in the frontend
The time measurment starts when the OLAP processor has completed the data formatting. The data is then sent to the frontend (EXCEL). The time is stopped when the frontend (BW add-in in EXCEL) has inserted all data in the worksheets (writing the contents and formatting cell, if required). The time therefore includes the transport on the network with the RFC connection and the output in the frontend.
TIMECHAVLREAD
Time required to read master data
TIMEAUTHCHECK
Runtime of the authorization check.
TIMEREST
Time that could not be assigned in more detail (should be equal to 0; if this is not the case, something in the internal processing of the OLAP processor occured differently than expected.)
QRUNTIMECATEGORY
Time of a navigation step (QTIMEOLAPINIT + QTIMEOLAP + QTIMEDB + QTIMEEXCEL + QTIMECHAVLREAD) rounded to the next higher scaling (1,10,100,1000 ... seconds). As of 1.2B, this is rounded to 1,2,3, ... 10,20,30,...100,200,300,... seconds.
1. Data regarding the size of the query:
QDBSEL
Number of the records that had to be read on the database
QDBTRANS
Number of records that the database transferred to the server
QNUMCELLS
Number of cells that were transferred to the frontend
QNUMRANGES
Number of formattings that were transferred to the frontend
RECCHAVLREAD
Number of master data records to be read
1. In addition, the following is saved:
QAGGRUSED
Name of the aggregate used
QNACHLESEN
Indicator: Query reads during each navigation step
1. Administrative information
STATUID
Key of the table; link in view RSDDSTAT_V
QSESSION
All data for a call of the frontend (between start and end of the frontend) is compounded with this unique GUID.
QNAVSTEP
The navigation steps of a QSESSION are numbered in ascending order
QNUMOLAPREADS
Number of read operations OLAP processor for each navigation step
HANDLE
In the frontend, each embedded query has a separate, sequential number (handle)
If you want to analyze a certain query, start it and filter the values from the table afterwards: Selection options: infocube, user name, queryid (can be determined in the report monitor (Transaction RSRT)-> Technical information). The STARTTIME (UTC time) tells you whether you have found the correct session.
You can recognize a session because the QSESSION is always assigned the same ID. The sequence of the navigation steps is saved in QNAVSTEP. However, you can also determine it using the STARTTIME.

Question Related to Source System of BI7 Technical Content

Hi Experts,
I activated BI7 Technical contents using SPRO Transaction.
Activation is successfull.
My question is that I could now find two source systems for
each activated Datasource of Technical Content(One BI self source system and another R3 source system).Is that right?
I thought that BI statistics wil be based on only BI as a
source system.
Please help me in this.
Thanks,
Senoy
Edited by: senoy laxman on Aug 19, 2008 3:29 PM

This is because, before actiavtion of technical content, those TWO source systems were already assigned (Check Boxes 'ON')...under
RSA1 --> Business Content --> 'EDIT" menu --> Source System Assignment --> see those check boxes 'ON' for BI self source system and R3 source system.
U r right..BI statistics wil be based on only BI as a source system.

Technical content Installation Issue

Hi Gurus,
I am installing Technical content in our development box. I have one thing to be clarified before I go further with the installation job. I have got lots of infoobjects installed in our server eg., 0CALDAY which are again part of the technical content too. I have got some routines working on these infoobjects for some other purpose. If I install the 0CALDAY once again by selecting the Grouping option "data flow before and after" what would be the circuumstances. My question is do I need to do any sort of modifications to the objects where my 0CALDAY is refreenced after activating the Technical Content.
Kindly clarify.
Regards
Visweswara

You shouldn't need to reinstall these objects. You can either uncheck the Install box, or check the Match box and when you install it will stop at these objects, show you the difference, and allow you to take the new version or keep the old version.
Take care not to install in background, because this will automatically overwrite everything you have collected with the new versions, even if you uncheck the Install box.

Activating technical content in BW7.0

Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading BW 3.5 to NW 2004s. We followed OSS note 965386 to activate technical content. We assigned all the required authorization to the user and followed the following path to activate the content:-
SPRO>SAP NW>Business Intelligence>Setting for BI Content>Business Intelligence>BI Admin Cockpit>Activate technical content in SAP NW BI
When we went to SPRO we did not see the last step i.e. Activate technical content in SAP NW BI.
Any help in this regard? Also, why not we can activate the technical content from RSA1.
Regards,
Anil

Its just like installing any other BI content. Just check what are the cubes you would be needing. If you are not sure and want to have latest and greatest, you can stick with the MultiProvider(0BWTC_C10) that is delivered comprising of all the six individual technical content cubes. While installing system would prompt you whether to install the datsources, say yes and provide ur credentials. That would take of activating DS. After installing, replicate the datsources from the source system. You are all set to go.
or alternately run program RSTCC_ACTIVATE_ADMIN_COCKPIT to install all this stuff automatically instead of collecting all the objects in BI content screen.

BI 7.0 Technical Content Activation

We have performed the technical upgrade from 3.5 to 7.0 and are in the process of performing the Post Upgrade steps. We are currently updated to level: SAP_BW 7.00 SP15.
One of the Post Upgrade steps referenced in the "How to ... Checklist: Rapid SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI Technical Upgrade with BI Accelerator Implementation" SAP document references the the activation of BI Technical Content (even if there are no plans to use it). Our problem occurs when we attempt to activate the required Technical Content objects via IMG (TCode SPRO). When the activation reaches the Process Chain activation a couple of the Process Chains reference objects that are not available at our content patch level.
I have researched and understand the workaround discussed in OSS 1134944. My question is more general. Is the activation of the Technical Content absolutley required - even if we have no plans to make use of it initially? If so, can someone please explain why this is the case.

Ramesh,
I understand the purpose and usage of Business Content in BI. As I stated in my thread, the Post Upgrade How To Guide implies that the activation of the Technical Content (a component of BI Business Content) is required in 7.0 - even if there are no plans to use it. Since we are having problems with the activation of the Technical Content my question referred only to its objects. We are trying to understand why (if) this component of the Business Content is actually required as the document implies.

Urgent-Technical content Activation

Hi all,
I had a basic question.
I am activating Technical Content in BW.Do we have to activate the datasources in R/3 system and then replicate it in BW.Just like any other datsources?
I was under the assumption that activating the objects related to Technical contetn does not have to deal with R/3 system.As i see the datasources under the Bw system under the source system.
Please correct me if iam wrong?This is an urgent issue,appreciate with any help provided.

Hi sreenivas,
that was a very helpful answer.Now i can say that my doubt has been clarified "if i have to activate DS in R/3 for Technical Content".
But my other question is when i transport it to QA.I have been getting the following logs.
Warnings:
Application component TCT of DataSource 0BWTC_C02 does not exist Etc for each DS.
Errors:
DataSource 0BWTC_C02 does not exist in source system QBWCLNT100 of version A
Mapping between data source 0BWTC_C02 and source system QBWCLNT100 is inconsistent
Field CALDAY will not be delivered from DataSource 0BWTC_C02 in source system QBWCLNT100 Etc
I get a RC 8 on this.I checked the DS 0BWTC_C02 in Dev and it was in active version so saved it and retransported it but the same message.
please advice.
thanks in advance

Technical content activation for BI STAT and Admin cockpit

Hi friends,
I am going to setup the IMG call for BI STAT and Admin cockpit. If i run the technical content activation will i need a precaution for other data loading. If i run them in background does it affects other data loads. did i need to take down time for the whole system?
After the implemntation did i need to load data for all infoproviders in quality system.

Hello Suresh,
I am not clear on all your questions.
In general, technical content process chains load data similiar to other BI process chains.
if your system is productive for a longer period already ( > 6 months ), there may be a lot of
BI statistics data generated and this will take a longer time to load the technical content cubes during the initial load.
Otherwise, it should not affect system performance.
It is better to schedule them daily to avoid huge data loads.
But these are only guidelines. It depends on your need.
You would need to do separately for quality and production system, if you want the BI stats in those systems. This is similiar to any other Data load and cube and content in BI.
Thanks,
Bilal

Activating Technical Content in BI7.0

Hi Experts,
I am trying to activate technical content for BI Statistics and make it work. I have not used RSTCO_ADMIN (we will not need BI Admin Cockpit for now, ST03 would make it at the moment) but went the good old way, activated all the cubes, process chains, etc. from RSA1.
Now everything looks to be more or less OK, except the Process Chains. The problem is that those infopackages in the standard process chains do not exist, and I cannot even find them in the Business Content either. Additionally, 6 of the 7 process chains in transaction RSPC look like "inactive", their names are displayed with grey instead of black. I have to double click on their name and then click on "Display/Change" to make them appear on the right-hand side of the screen.
We are on SAP_BW release 700 SP12, BI_CONT release 703, level 0000. Do you have any idea on why I cannot find those infopackages anywhere in the BI content?
Thanks in advance for any tips,
Csaba

Hi Dhanya,
Thanks for your reply.
When activating the process chain, I have selected all infopackages that were collected automatically by the system (with the option "In the Data Flow Before"). I also tried to find these infopackages myself in the Business Content (in ISIP (Infopackage) object type), still no success.
I also thought I could create these infopackages manually, but I have absolutely no idea on what they are expected to do: loading? From where to where? Activating data? Changing attributes? I don't know.
In RSPC I can see these infopackages as a step in the chain, but only with their technical name which does not help me to find out what is the source and target of that loading.
Cheers,
Csaba

Erro content master data by activating technical content BI

Hi
i activated technical content BI and load th init then the delta , i have one error ( the other errors are solved by activating datasource) that i don't understand :
In the process monitor :
Too many error records - update terminated
Error   4 in the update
In the PSA i can read many messages like this :
There are duplicates of the data record 3 & with the key
'BW2CLNT100DABAP &' for characteristic 0TCTPRCSVAR &.
i don't understand it ? how can i solved it ?
thanks for your help !!
Karima

I had a huge amount of duplicate records so I manually applied the fix in NOTE 1134138.
This fixed the dups, but I had 4 records with probably a hidden char so I manually updated it.
However, my process chain 0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01 is going to continue to fail every week unless I put some other fix in.
The error message is
"Error               4 in the update"
Anyone see a fix for this?

Technical Content Activation Failed in BI7

Dear experts,
Basically, I have posted this question in another category but the response is very disappointing. So I though of moving the question to here.
