Installing Business Content directly in QA and PRD or transport it ?

Hello,
We have been running a SAP BW Lanscapce (7.01 SPS7) for over two years.
We have recently applied to our BW Landscace an additional add-on ; SAP SuPM (Sustainability Performance Management 2.0)
Several thousands of new objects are delivered and we need to install the SUPM Business Content.
A specific BC installation procedure is described in the installation guide, use the report report RSO_BC_INSTALL_ALL and not the transaction RSORBCT.
I intended to activate the SUPM Business Content directlly in DEV then QAS then PRD, as we did when we initially installed tthe three systems.
The develpent team would prefer to tranfor the transport the newly installed objects fronm DEV to QAS and PRD. They told me that activating directly the BC in QAS and PRD might cause issue for certain objects like transformations. During activation certain objects receive a unique ID hence receiving a different ID in each system. This would mean that we wonu2019t be able to transport changes to these objects from dev and that each change would need to be applied directly in each system which is not acceptable.
I am not confortable transporting thousands of new objects (even if they are collected in the same transport requests) from DEV to QAS and PRD.
What are you suggestions ? HAve you already been confroncted to the same problem, having to install thousands of new Business Content objects on an existing BW system ?
Thank you for your attention
Best Regards

Hi Shiro,
There is one important thing that you should note down is, if you directly install the contents in production system and something goes wrong due to customization or any other thing then there is risk of recovering it and being production system I would say not to do that.
Where as if you install the contents in development then you will have chance to do the unit testing properly and then send the contents to quality and prod after testing and modifications if required. The risk of failure with transport is very less if the transports are moved in correct sequence.

Installing Business Content and Merge - Overwrites InfoSource - Very Urgent

Hi Gurus,
I was installing Business Content for a Cube with the grouping Data flow before using Merge/Copy option in DEV.
The cube got activated and all the objects associated with it. What I didn't realize was that the InfoSource used for the DSO of the cube was also used by a custom DSO which has already been deployed in QA.
So the transfer rules were only partially maintained and the content InfoSource merged with the active one. The DataSource for the custom DSO is from QA (a different R/3 from DEV R/3). The issue is that the custom DSO in QA is now linked to the installed (new) InfoSource belonging to the DataSource of the DEV R/3.
Please kindly guide on:
1. How to change the InfoSource for the custom DSO from the currently installed one to the original one? Can I deactivate the update rules and create new InfoSource and transfer rules for the custom DSO and transport it again to QA?
2. What are the implications this might have on the newly installed DSO & Cube?
All answers will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks,
Swetha

Hi Swetha,
I am not too sure, if i understood ur problem correctly but,
If your BI QAS system is still good.. that means ur custom DSO is still linked to old version of Infosource in BI QAS.
The talk to ur BASIS guys and ask them to transport the Insource/Transfer Structure from BI QAS system to BI Dev system.
This can be done by creating a transport in BI QAS system, the type of transport should be Transport of Copies.
and also before importing this Trasnport from BI QAS in BI Dev System maintain an entry in BI Dev system RSA1>Tools>Conversion of Logical System names and put an entry as Source = ur BI QAS Logical System Name and target as ur BI Dev Logical System name.
Cheers

Install Business Content

I want to install business content.
I have the problem, that I do not really know where to get the content.
After installation of BW I am not sure where I can get content objects and how to get them into my bw environment.
Example:
1. I found an object I would like to add to my bw content. 0RPM_C03 on help.sap.com
2. How can I get that content into my Warehouse?
I can't find that in RSA1 even not in deactivated status.
Can I create a connection to sap for direct load that content? Or is it possible to upload content?
Edited by: Ezachiael leaihcaze on Dec 4, 2009 1:51 PM

Ok, I'll give you some more details.
1. Go to transaction RSA1
2. In the menu on your left (Modeling, Administration, etc.) choose BI Content
3. Below BI Content, choose Object Types for easy browsing
4. Find the business content element (query, cube, whatever) you want to install
5. Drag it to the right side of the screen
6. Click the button "install"
Good luck!
Kind regards,
Alex

Unable to 'set the default source system' to Install Business Content

Hi,
Maars here. This is my first post hoping that in future ones I'll also be lending a helping hand.
I am trying to 'Install Business Content' under the BUSINESS CONTENT section in txn RSA1. I am doing this after 'Transfer Data Sources' in R/3 and I can now see all the data sources (under the application component hierarchy) for the source system. But I am not able to see the Info Objects in the Business Content.
When I try to set R/3 as the default source system (got this screen after clicking a icon in the standard tool bar), BW is not saving the settings ie., I set the R/3 as the default and then click on OK. If I go back to the same screen again, I find that my settings were NOT saved.
Could you please help me out?
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems to be a bug in version 3.5.
Do like this:
After you open the screen to choose the dafault source system
Clcik on 3rd button(F6) available in the bottom of the scrreen.
And then select teh tick mark for required system.
And then click on Continue button
You have do this step before you drop the cube to right side of the cube.
Ok, even after all these steps , if you reopen the screen you would not see Tick mark u have done just before. DONOT WORRY ABT it.
Drag and drop required cube with dat flow before.
Now you can see the Transfer rules with selected Source system only in the collected Objects.

How to solve the problem. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Jaswantha

Hi Jaswantha,
Installing Business Content Cube would usually require "Grouping" as "Select In Data Flow Before".
This is as per my observations so far according to SAP Best Practices.
Pls. try this and get back.
Hope it helps

To install and activate the business content, you can do that using RSA1 and then going to the business content tab. select the required objects and drag and drop them to the right side window. Then click on the Activate and install button to install the business content.
You can make use of the grouping option available, to install the required objects together.

Source System Assignment while Installing Business Content

Hi,
I have a new R/3 source system in BW (one R/3 system already exists). When I'm installing business content for say an Infosource and before, even with a succesful install , the new source system assignment is not taking place in the infosource and neither are the packages (for the new source system) being installed. The datasource (for the new source system) remains unassigned.
Please Advice
Thanks

Hi Shurobhi
with your new R/3 source system are you able to see the datasources - using right clik on source system & then select datasources overview. IF not then you need to check if the source system connection is done with metadata repository replication or not. If that is also done then ensure that you have installed all business content datasources using RSA5 in your R/3 system.
On BW side, while installing transfer rules and infopackages, make sure that this new R/3 source system is checked on in source system Box - X icon on business content screen. Then only you would be able to see transfer rules and infopackages & install them.
Hope this helps

hi chintamanim,
thanks for the response.
i verified the objects included on the BI content objects window and noticed that the object 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT "active version" is not available and i tried finding 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT_BA and cannot find it.
does this have an effect on the error i got from activating and receiving the error upon activation?
The object R3TR ISTS 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT_BA does not exist
I did follow a document for Building Block Configuration Guide:
B03: General Settings for BI Integration
and the step is included here:
Activating Business Content: InfoObject Catalogs:
1. On the Data Warehousing Workbench: Business Content screen:
a. At the top of the right hand frame, choose Grouping and select In Data Flow Before.
b. At the top of the right hand frame, choose Collection mode and select collect automatically.
c. In the left hand frame, select Object Types.
d. In the middle frame, expand InfoObject Catalog and make a double-click on Select Objects.
2. In the Selection of Query Objects dialog box.
a. Select the following InfoObject catalog:
0CHANOTASSIGNED
b. Choose Transfer Selections.
c. If a dialog box Remote Activation in the Source System <> occurs, choose OK and log on to the source system on the following screen.
d. If a dialog box appears Exceeded runtime when collecting objects choose Continue.
3. At the top of the right frame, choose Install and select Install in Background.
4. In the Install Business Content in the Background dialog box choose Yes.
5. In the Information dialog box choose Continue.

Error installing business content

Hi Experts,
i am getting an error while installing business content for sales and distribution.
i.e-The creation of the export DataSource failed,
The metadata for a DataSource must be created while the export InfoSouce is being generated. An error occurred at that time.
could any body help.

Hi
The DS should be Activated at R/3 to Install the Business Content on BI side.
Recheck the same with the following
R/3
RSA5--Activate the Data Source -- (RSA6 -- Transport the Data Source -- required if you want to replicate on BI Side)
BI Side
Business Content -- Install the same with required grouping conditions (Only necessary objects would be best option)

Installing Business content in SRM

Hi,
I am trying to bring data from SRM to BW basically for contract management and vendor evaluation.Someone has already done Transfer Component Hierarchy.But this is all under nodesnotconnected.And most of them dont have text.What can I do to get back the text and datasources are under proper nodes instead of nodesnotconnected.
2.I have datasources under these nodes TCT-MON-IO,TCT-MON and TCT.All these relate to metadata. Do I have to transfer all these datasources to BW or how should I go about it.
Thanks,
Kal

Kal
First you have to install application components and Infoareas and then activate all business content by selecting before and then after. It should take care of your issue.

Issue installing business content

Has anyone out there come across the following error message while trying to install business content:
Object 2LIS_11_VAITM (InfoSource) could not be collected for object ()
Message no. RSO296
Diagnosis
You have collected objects in the BW Metadata Repository. Associated objects for the object of type have also been collected. Object 2LIS_11_VAITM of type InfoSource was among these objects. This object
2LIS_11_VAITM of type InfoSource, is not, however, available in the Metadata Repository.
System response
Object 2LIS_11_VAITM of type InfoSource is ignored in further collections. The links for object of type are incomplete. This may result in not being able to activate this object.
Procedure
If this error occurs while you are installing Business Content, a delivery error may have occurred. Inform SAP. In all other cases, check, for example, that the object has not been deleted by another user during the collection.
I am assuming somethign went wrong during the installation of the box, but just wondering if anybody has any ideas on this.
Thanks.
Dan

Have you activate and replicated the datasource 2LIS_11_VAITM before activating the business content?

Hi Manu,
I checked in Unassigned nodes, its not there. And there is no relevant Info object catalog present in Modelling.
Can you guide me what exactly to do.

can i choose one object and using the option of grouping 'in data flow before and afterwards', does this method install all of the necessary objects on BW side?
it would be nice if anyone can provide me with the material on how to install BCT objects in detail. thanks in advance.
