BI 7 Activate Business Content Best Practice?

Guru,
Could you share your experience on how to activate business content in BI 7. In 3.x, I used to activate business content based on infosource then crate ods and infocube based on in infosource. Now in BI 7 infosource is no longer necessary. Please share your thoughts of best practice on activate business content in BI 7.
Thanks,
John

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".

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.

_h and _v Content, Best Practice

Hello
while i am working on the same content of an article as _h and _v, i noticed in _h i added 7 pages while in the _v there are 6 pages,
and i relised this is not good to get the perfect result.
so i add one more page in the _v, and started to change the size of the images so the contents goes to page 7.
i was able to do that, and then i noticed that the 14th subtitle in the _h is in the 5th page and the same subtitle in the _v is in the 6the page.
is this normal? or do i have to math the content so the reader when rotatiting will get the same result so he can folow reading.
regards

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.

Business component best practices

I am rewriting an existing PHP application in ADF. Database is large and used in production. Current DB tables do not use many foreign keys. Should I create the custom associations manually in Business Components or create them in the database have BC creation process pick up the association automatically. What's the best practice around this?
-saidul

Foreign key are a vital part of the busines logic as they show how entities are wired together. I prefer to have them in the DB as all applications (adf or not) are forced to obey them. This helps to keep the data consistent.
Now if you are aleady in production, you should first check if you can apply the foreign key constrains without breaking your other running apps.
If you implement the associations in ADFbc you might hit some data which you can't save as the checks implied by ADFbc can't be met by the data.

Flash Alternative Content ~ Best Practice ~ Safari on iOS Devices ~ iPad iPhone iPod Touch

Hi Folks,
Is there a documented best practice for providing alternate content for Flash in Safari on iOS devices?
I am getting white space where my Flash animation would normally appear, and management is displeased. I need to display alternative content in this space. I'm hopeful that Adobe has published a best practice for how to accomplish this.
tyvm
Keith

Not sure about Adobe official stance but they have started using swfobject Flash detection to place Flash <objects> on the Web page. The problem I see with the Adobe implementation is that about the only alternate content they recommend is "Click here to download the latest version of Flash player".
That is about the lamest alternate content you could possibly imagine! Just because you recommend that your viewers download the new version.... doesn't mean they will... so they still go without REAL alternate content.
A MUCH BETTER use of swfobject is to actually provide alternate content! For your review::
If you think that Flash is somehow bad for SEO, it's time to dispell that MYTH!
If fact, in some circumstances I'll use Flash INSTEAD of just HTML because then I'll have better SEO than with just HTML alone.
http://www.worldbarefootcenter.com/
The link to World Barefoot Center in the above post is just one example. View the source code and you see a couple paragraphs of text along with regular HTML links.... but what displays is the Flash version of the image and Flash links.
The client provided the artwork for the page... and that's what they wanted to use a .jpg image. Well yes, that could be done in HTML but it would be virtually invisible to Google. So Instead I converted the image into a Flash .swf and used swfobject to display the Flash. swfobject allows you to create alternate content inside the <div> which also holds the Flash .swf, then when the page is loaded it detects if the browser has the Flash pluggin. If it does, it displays just the Flash content, if not, it displays the alternate content. Since almost everyone has the Flash pluggin, for most people the Flash version of the <div> will display.
The alternate content for that <div> can be any regular HTML text, images, media player, links, etc., anything that you would use if you were not using the Flash. Now the best part is that the alternate content can be "over the top" as far as optimizing for SEO, since it will not be seen by most viewers.
Here's another example of SEO with Flash.. again, the page is just a single image provided by the client:
http://www.ksowetsuits.com/
View the source code. The alt content is paragraph after paragraph of information about the site, including lists and links. If it was just the HTML, it might be kind of a boring Home page. But for SEO I can go "over the top" in promoting the site, since most viewers will never see that part... but it's all indexed by search engines. The end result is BETTER SEO using Flash than just HTML.
On another Web site, a Flash video is displayed, the alt content is the complete text narration of the video. Now how many people would take the time to read that if they could just watch the video instead?? again, better SEO with Flash than without. In fact in one case we had first page search result from that video narration within 4 hours of posting the page.
On still another site with a Flash video, the alt content is another video, but a .mov version, which will, in effect play Flash video on the iPhone (not possible you say??). Well since the iPhone does not have Flash pluggin, it simply displays the .mov version of the video, while everyione else sees the Flash version.
So anyway, if Flash is a part of your Web development, you should look into using swfobject and alternate content.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
Best wishes,
Eye for Video
www.cidigitalmedia.com
So it is and has been for a number of years now, very easy to provide alternate content for non Flash devices... and that includes text, images, and video.
Best wishes,
Adninjastrator

Mapping Content Best Practice

Anyone got suggestions on best practice for mapping contents...
a) create a lot of mappings - almost 1 for each table, dim, etc;
b) put many items into logically grouped mappings (e.g. staging static data extract, staging fact extract, etc)
c) somewhere in between - most staging stuff gets chucked together, major dimension/fact refresh has its own mapping, possibly put many related smaller dims (status, etc) in one mapping, etc..
I assume the considerations are parallel execution, monitoring, maintenance/clarity, simplifying process flows, etc.
I suppose I'd go for c), but if anyone can suggest things to avoid that'd be good!

Hi Chewy,
Mapping composition is not an exact science, as you state yourself.
The problem also extends to workflows and workflow subprocess division.
I've made some core rules for myself, that may work for others too:
1) If I want to be able to reload a target in case of problems, it should be in a separate mapping.
2) Generally, each target file has its own mapping. If several disconnected flows have the same target, I put them in the same mapping.
3) If I split a single source into multiple targets, I generally use a single mapping for that
4) If flows are complex (have many operators), I never put two or more together. If your 3600x4800px monitor can't display all of your mapping, you're on wrong track.
5) If I want to sequence simple flows and don't care about 1) or which one runs first (10gR1 caveat), I put them into the same mapping. Eg. when the source cannot handle concurrent queries well.
When it comes to workflows, things get more complicated.
In my current project, most source data moves through three modules: staging, ods (relational), and data mart (star schema). I have two requirements for packaging mappings into workflow subprocesses:
1) There should be a subprocess per source module that transfers all data from the source to the staging area
2) Each target (dim or cube) in the data mart should have a silo-type subprocess that handles the data from staging through ods into the data mart. Rule 1) from mappings applies here, as well.
To do this efficiently, you should have a PL/SQL function that checks eg. if the source loaded successfully into staging before commencing with target loading.

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
Sri

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

Business Content Best Practise

Hi Guys
Just a quick request -
I have activated BC a couple of times, but each time it takes longer than it should - missing certain areas, activate far too much etc.
Apart from 'help.sap.com.', does anyone have any Best Practise guides or docs on BC, to allow me to cut down on my activation.
Thanks.

Hi Scott,
I would really commont only to activate with only necassary objects (befor and after is very painfull). Just collect the data structures like DataSource, InfoSource, DataStore Object, InfoCube, ..., Queries (then all Infoobjects gets collected). Then collected the linkages (tranfer rules, transformations, etc.) - these can easily be found in the help menue. after the collection activate it in batch.
best regards clemens

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.
Hope it Helps
