Additional BW Business Content on 3.5

Hello Everyone,
We are implementing a new Global BW system. In the latest version of SAP you can develop your own standard business content. This means any SAP partner or customer can develop additional business outside the SAP content. We are looking for partners of SAP or a marketplace where additional business content are offered.
Can anyone please feedback if there is such a marketplace and/or where we can find it?
Kind regards,
Raymond
PS: Currently I am looking for additional BW content, R3 extractors for Plant Maintenance but we need adds on all areas.

Hi Raymond,
I think some contents that have been developed by software partners are:
AC Nielson
Ascential with their ETL snap pack (not sure about name) that has ETL mapping and BW for I believe Peoplesoft, Oracle Financial and one other (saw a demo a year and half ago so you need to look into updated info)
PM is an area where the BW business content falls a little short but the issue is that people customize PM very differently. A utility would be very different to a railway versus a regular manufacturer.
I think status is one that has some issues on the last one. Most client end up developing their own extractors based on their R/3 config but that involve good BW data modelling a one or more very good ABAPers.
Hope this helps,
Mary

Business Content or Information for GR/IR Account Report

Hi All,
I have an R3 report called GR/IR Account Report by PO Mismatch.
Is there any business content available for this in BI.
The below tables are using in the report.

SAP BW Business Content and R/3 Tables

Good morning
I wonder if you can help me.
I am at a BW-MM implementation.
From where I can get a list of Business Content extractors and tables which is supplied by R / 3.
For example:
0EC_PCA_1 -> GLPCT
I need this information to implement the MM module in BW, but if you have or can help with additional information from other modules I will be grateful.
I await your help and thank you very much!
Javier.-

Hi,
Check the BI content.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/37/5fb13cd0500255e10000000a114084/content.htm
Go to the original page from there by clicking the arrow buttons.
There you can see your functional areas.
For example, to find 0EC_PCA_1, you will go to Financials--> Profit Center Accounting > Datasources> PCA transaction data.
For MM, go to Supply Chain Mgmt --> Supply Chain Performance Management --> Procurement
Here you can find what tables the extractor is based on.

Datasources in 3.X in a new BI 7.0 Business Content Activation

Hi all,
When Installing Business Content for a BI 7.0 Installation, some objects like Datasources, Transfer Rules and Communication structures are activated under 3.X format.
Is there a way to install all Business Content in 7.X format, different from a migration process (which is a manual process)?
Does this extractors (3.X) have any performance issues in case of use them exactly as they are delivered from Business Content?
Best Regards
Jaime Benavides.

Thanks all for your answers.
I understand that a migration process can be executed to old 3.X datasources, but this is a manual process.
My point here is that the activation of a brand new business content of an Instalation NW 7.01 enhancement package 1 and with a Bussines Content Release = BI Content Add-On 4 SP 03 have some elements (datasources) in 7x Version (transformations and DTP´s) and some others in the old 3.x version (transfer Rules and communication structure).
In the moment of ACTIVATING the Business Content, there is not an option to migrate, but the standard Business Content delivered for this scenario is sometimes 7x, and sometimes 3x (i.e. CO_OM_CCA extractors).
I need some documentation to point that, besides some best practices of regular UPGRADES, the STANDARD deliver of a business content of this scenario contains both 7X Datasources and 3X Datasources.
Thanks a lot for all for any additional ideas.
Best Regards,
Jaime Benavides.

Problem with Business Content install in ECC5 IDES

Hi,
I am having tough time installing business content.
After installing ECC5 IDES, I am trying to install Business Content in BW ( Client 800).
In SBIW, (under Business Content DataSources), I did Transfer Application Component Hierarchy.
Then I transfered few DataSiurces ( 0MATERIAL_ATTR)
Then in BW, I did "Replicate Data Sources". I see all the Datasources in "Data Source Overview"
But When I try to install Business Conetent ( rsa1>> Business Content >> Select Object Types >> InfoObjects>> Select Objects>> Double click ), I couldn't find any InfoObjects from source system. I tried the same for InfoCubes as well..
Am I missing anything?? I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Samba

ECC will have content for 'source system' ie datasource and extractors. On your BW system you need to have the business content add on available before you can see such objects there (infoobjects, cubes).
BW system (whether in the same IDES or another system) needs to have this BW Content add-on. It is one additional step, just having the BW system (without this addon) will not give you what you are looking for.
BW content add-on is typically one set of transport files, installed using SAINT transaction. My guess is your system doesn't have it.

Can't create DTP for cube migrated from business content to 2004s

I am in the process of converting 3.5 Business Content InfoProviders to the new model for 2004s.
Master data was not a problem, but Im having a hard time getting InfoCubes to migrate.
I installed 0PUR_C03 from Business Content and replicated the DataSource into the Data Warehouse.
I right-clicked 2LIS_02_S013, selected Additional Functions, then chose Transformation erzeugen (a.k.a. Create Transformation in English).
The transformation is generated with no errors and it was activated. The DataSource is migrated automatically in the process.
Then, I went to add the Data Transfer Process and that is where I got stuck.
I right-clicked the cube and took Create DTP. For source type, I selected datasource. A dialog box then shows the objects associated with the cube, including the converted infosource, but nothing is highlighted for me to choose from, and I cant complete the process of creating the DTP.
Can anyone tell me where I might have gone wrong?

u got it...

u2022     This report lists the number (as a numerical count) and the Type of BP Contractual Relationships and the Product Groups (PPRs) they are able to sell under those BP Contractual Relationship Agreements (BPAs).
u2022     This report should also include (at the usersu2019 discretion) all Terminated BPAs and any de-authorised (Terminated) Product Groups.
u2022     The user should be able to decide whether the report includes Terminated BPAs and de-authorised Products ONLY.
Pre-Requisite     BPA Contract has been accepted (Registered)
Pre-Requisite     Include only changes to BPA contract (including Terminations and Product Group de-authorisations) which have been accepted (Registered) in CLM/Upside.
Pre-Requisite     Do Not include changes (including Terminations and Product Group de-authorisations) to BPA which are u2018pendingu2019
ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION
u2022     Channel Partners are called Business Partners by contract.
u2022     Some T2 Business Partners have contractual relationships with the company, while some may not; referred to as non-contracted T2u2019s.
u2022     These Contractual Relationships are regulated in Business Partner Agreements
u2022     BP Agreements outline the BPu2019s Relationship Type with IBM (e.g. Distributor/Reseller/Solution Provider) as well as the Product Groups (PPRs) that the BP has been authorised to sell under the BP Agreement Terms & Conditions with IBM.
u2022     The subject of this report is to report on the number (as a numerical count) and the Type of BP Contractual Relationships and the Product Groups (PPRs) the BP is authorised to sell under those BP Contractual Relationship Agreements (BPAs).
u2022     This report should also include (at the usersu2019 discretion) all Terminated BPAs and any de-authorised (Terminated) Product Groups (PPRs) previously associated with the BPA.
u2022     The user should be able to decide whether the report includes Terminated BPAs and de-authorised Products ONLY.
u2022     A BP can have multiple relationships with Company (e.g. Distributor and Solution Provider).
u2022     For each of these relationships the BP may have a separate BP Agreement (BPA) with company.
u2022     Both T1 and T2 BP Agreements are also stored as a system contract in CRM outlining:
o     The Discounts a BP will get under the corresponding agreement
u2022     The BP Relationships are also reflected as a SAP Distribution Channel in SAP.
Waiting for your quick response....
   Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think you need to recheck RFC created for QA system , i guess it contains IP Address of the Dev system . Which is why it leads to Dev system whenever you try to goto source system.
In case if dev, quality server are in the same server with different client then
Goto Transaction SM59,
Select RFC (Dialog ) and tabpage "Logon security" tick on logon screen
Hope that helps.

Blocked Stock
Consignment Stock at Customer
Inventory Turnover
Quantities of Valuated Project Stock (as of 3.1 Content)
Quantities of Valuated Sales Order Stock (as of 2.1 Cont.)

hi Niten,
by choosing that 0IC_C03 and using grouping 'in dataflow afterward' in business content activation, you should get all the queries.
you can cross check in rsa1->metadata repository->local object (business content).

LOS - Business content cube

Hi Guys,
When we are extracting data from LOS for ex, 2lis_12_vaitm, 2lis_12_scl or others. some times we are not using the SAP business content cubes. We are creating our own cubes by using the standard LOS.
Can some one please give a clear explnation of some examples which LOS DS and why we have gone for other then business content cube.
If you have any document please post here or send me to this mail [email protected]
Bye...
Sankar Reddy

hi
If we want more additional fields to be added to the cube, or the fields in the cube is no longer relevant for our analysis we decide for custom cubes
In that case, we modify the datasources and extract data to accomadate in cubes
Hope this helps

Package name in business content

when i am trying to activate a cube in business content,when i click install and transport,i am getting a pop up window asking for a package name
can somebody please give me some info on this,what is a package name,is it just like a folder or anything else

You can go to se80 and open any Package and F1 over the name of the package and you can see the sap Help...
Package
Packages extend the concept of development classes to improve modularization, encapsulation, and decoupling in the SAP System.
Development classes, used until now, are simple containers for development objects, provided with a transport layer that specifies how they were to be transported. As an enhancement to development classes, packages include the following attributes: nesting, interfaces, visibility, and use accesses.
Nesting is the ability of a package to include other packages within the package hierarchy.
Visibility is an attribute of package elements. A development element can be visible from outside the package. (It is always visible inside its own package, though not necessarily all the packages embedded in this package). A development element is visible externally if it is included in at least one package interface.
The use access gives a package the right to use the development elements in the package interface of another package. Note that this right is one-way only.
Package
Definition
Related objects in the ABAP Workbench are grouped together in a package. The assignment of an object to a package is entered in the object directory (TADIR). The package determines the transport layer that defines the transport attributes of an object.
The packages are entered in the table TDEVC. They can be maintained in the following transactions:
Transaction SE80 -> Enter package -> Double-click the package
Transaction SM30 - Table/view name V_TDEVC
The packages are themselves objects of the ABAP Workbench. They belong to their own packages.
In contrast to its predecessor, the development class, a package has the following additional characteristics:
Packages can be nested.
Packages can contain their 'visible development objects' (visible outside of the package) in package interfaces.
Packages can have use access defined for other package interfaces.
Use
When an ABAP Workbench object is created, the system prompts you to assign it to a package. The package should describe the area that the object belongs to.
The representation of the object tree in the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80) uses the package as a navigation aid. If there are more than 100 objects of a certain type (that is, ABAP programs), the object tree can no longer be clearly represented and it becomes increasingly difficult to use the ABAP Workbench. In this case, we recommend creating new packages with the same transport layer and distributing the objects to the new packages on the basis of the areas they belong to.
The following naming conventions for packages determine the packages' functions:
Package begins with A-S or U-X:
These packages are for SAP standard objects. Customer objects cannot be created in them. Changes to objects of these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer (Request management) and can be transported (see field transport layer.
Package begins with Y or Z:
Customer objects can be created in these packages. Changes to objects in these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer (Request management). The objects can be transported to other SAP Systems (see the field transport layer ).
Package begins with T (private test package):
When you create a package of this type, you can specify whether you want changes to be recorded. If so, objects that are edited are recorded in local requests by the Transport Organizer. This package does not belong to a transport layer. Objects can only be transported to other SAP Systems if a transport request is created.
Package begins with $ (local package):
Changes to objects are not recorded by the Transport Organizer. The package does not belong to a transport layer. The objects cannot be transported.
Package begins with a namespace prefix:
If you have reserved a namespace, then you can create packages (and other objects) whose names begin with the namespace prefix.
(Example of a namespace prefix /COMPANY/, example of a corresponding package /COMPANY/DEVCLASS)
Changes to these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer, and can be transported.

Activate Business Content PP

Dear all,
We want to activate the Business Contents for extraction of the SAP module PP. For example we have already activated DataSource 2LIS_04_P_COMP and so on. Right now we are unsure which RMBW-programs and additional jobs have to be activated. Does anybody have a guideline something like this to install these Business Contents fore using PP-extraction?
Thank at all.
Best regards
Daniel

HI Daniel, try to find your PP scenario in:

Business Content activation and change - BI upgrade

Hi Colleagues,
I am working on a project on which one.
1. Developpers have activated SAP BI business content.
    and for minor changes, they will directly modify the business contents infoprovider.
As example.
1. They will activate 0IC_C03 Material Stcks/Movements (as of 3.0B)
2. They will change cube structure :
   - Add a material plant dimension with 2 characteristic inside.
    - Add additional field in a existing dimension : 0company_code inside Location Dimension.
I always have worked on project on which one we made a copy of the business content infoprovider before to change it.
QUESTIONS :
I would like to know what is the impact of changing directly the infoprovider of the business content ?
Is there an issue with BI upgrade ?
Is there any SAP BI recommendation regarding system development to minimize impact on BI upgrade ?
Cheers,

It's always better to use BC Objects as template if you want to do any customizations to the standard objects.
For any reason if someone again installed bc for the same object ,assume person doesn't check match option ,so the std object will overwrite the existing active version and as a result the customizations for the object will be lost
As far as I know there won't be any impact , I do not have any doc but you can search in forum

What is the use of Match(X) or Copy in Business Content Collected Obj..?

Hi All,
In Business Content, After doing Drog nd Drop on Collected Objects, There, after Install Icon(I) we will find Match(X) or Copy (M) ......
Can anybody tell me what is mean by it and why and where do we use it.....?
Please Reply me.......
Regards,
Kiran Telkar

Hi Kiran,
Match (X) or Copy
If the SAP delivery version and the active version can be matched, a checkbox is displayed in this column.
With the most important object types, the active version and the SAP delivery version can be matched.
From a technical point of view, the SAP delivery version (D version) is matched with the M version. As in most cases the M version is identical to the active version (A version) in a customer system, this is referred to as a match between the D and A versions for reasons of simplification.
When a match is performed, particular properties of the object are compared in the A version and the D version. First it has to be decided whether these properties can be matched automatically or whether this has to be done manually. A match can be performed automatically for properties if you can be sure that the object is to be used in the same way as before it was transferred from Business Content. When performing matches manually you have to decide whether the characteristics of a property from the active version are to be retained, or whether the characteristics are to be transferred from the delivery version.
Example of an automatic match
Additional customer-specific attributes have been added to an InfoObject in the A version. In the D version, two additional attributes have been delivered by SAP that do not contain the customer-specific attributes. In order to be able to use the additional attributes, the delivery version has to be installed from Business Content again. At the same time, the customer-specific attributes are to be retained. In this case, you have to set the indicator (X) in the checkbox. After installing the Business Content, the additional attributes are available and the customer-specific enhancements have been retained automatically. However, if you have not checked the match field, the customer-specific enhancements in the A version are lost.
Example of a manual match
An InfoObject has a different text in the A version than in the D version. In this case the two versions have to be matched manually. When Business Content is installed, a details screen appears which asks you to specify whether the text should be transferred from the active version or from the D version.
The Match indicator is set as default in order to prevent the customer version being unintentionally overwritten. If the Content of the SAP delivery version is to be matched to the active version, you have to set the Install indicator separately.
The active version is overwritten with the delivery version if
¡ the match indicator is not set and
¡ the install indicator is set.
In other words, the delivery version is copied to the active version.
If the Install indicator is not set, the object is not copied or matched. In this case, the Match indicator has no effect.
In the context menu, two options are available:
a. Merge All Below
The object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy are selected as to Match.
b. Copy All Below
The Match indicators are removed for the object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy. If the Install indicator is also set, these objects are copied from the delivery version to the active version.
hope this helps.

Sreedhar

Installation of Business content and activation

Hello,
Our Source system is ECC 6.0 and
BW :NW2004 S and SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 .
We are able to create source system conection successfully . after installing the business content and replication, all the data souces in BW are still in Version D only. Do i need to select each DS individually to activate ? or am i missing any steps ?
Any help is highly appreciated ?
Regards

Hi,
I was also passed this latest information from my colleagues in Product Management.
The method I explained is the old method for activating DataSources and extractors. It is still valid in SAP NetWeaver 2004s but there is a new, and easier, methid to do this now.
Also if you have followed my instructions, there is an additional change in the replication process and a decision you must make:
"Once the customer has activated the DataSource via rsa5 in source system, then he/she needs to replicate this datasource to BI. During the replication, he/she is asked via pop-up whether he would like to replicate these datasources as 3.X DataSource or 7.0.x DataSource.
If he decides to replicate these datasources as 7.0.x DataSources, then the A version of this datasource will be seen in table RSDS, instead of the original table RSOLTPSOURCE.
So if the customer checked table RSOLTPSOURCE, then he/she only see the D version.
This could be the reason that customer still only see D version after the datasource replication."
The new method is:
"- If you have a 3.X datasource, during the source system connection, the D
version of DataSource is already replicated into BI.
- With transaction RSOR in BI, you need to select the related transfer rule, and via transfer rule you are able to collect the 3.X DataSource.
- Then you need to push 'install' button to activate this datasource.
- After activation, the A version of DataSource will be available in BI and in Source system.
- If you have a 7.0.x DataSource, the steps are the same like 3.X datasource. But via transaction RSOR you are able to directly select this datasource (object type RSDS).
So with BI capabilities of NetWeaver2004s technology, it's no longer nessary to run rsa5 in the source system to activate the datasource."
I hope this helps,
Mike.
