BI 7 Authorizations: Business Content and usage of which Objects?
Good day
I am busy with the BI 7 Analysis Authorizations concept. I have gone through SDN as well as other sites and obtained numerous guidelines for applying these authorizations. I will not be utilising the migration tool as I will be creating the new analysis authorisations from scratch.
I have replicated the datasources in the myself system.
In ALL documentation it is stated that business content must be activated for objects u20180TCAu2019 and u20180TCTu2019, which I have a problem with.
I do not have a problem with the related InfoObjects and activation.
What I have seen from the metadata repository is:
InfoCubes
u20180TCA_HIEu2019, u20180TCA_UAu2019 and u20180TCA_VALu2019 (These are all cubes without datasources, transfer rules, TRF or DTP etc)
DSOu2019s
u20180TCA_DS01u2019 to *DS05u2019u2026. (These are all templates without datasources, transfer rules, TRF or DTP etc)
Also DSOu2019s u2018ZTA_DS01u2019 and u2018ZTA_DS02u2019, not part of the 0TCA* and 0TCT* selection. Are these two necessary?
My question(s) are:
1) What I want to know is how many DSOu2019s and Infocubes must be activated to ensure complete installation?
2) Why do the Cubes and template DSOu2019s (0TCA* and 0TCT*,) not display any datasources, TRF, transfer rules or DTPu2019s at all?
3) Why are DSOu2019s u2018ZTA_DS01u2019 and u2018ZTA_DS01u2019 involved if no-one has ever mentioned them?
Please assist. I am very confused at this stage!
Thanks in advance

Changes In Business Content and Extractors after r/3 upgrade
Hi All,
We are in the process of upgrading from R/3 4.0b to ECC 6.0.
with the BW system bein upgraded to BI 7.0
Question.
What changes would occur for the business content and extractors after the R/3 upgrade.
Thanks in advace.
Regards,
Nikhil.SHi Nikhil
The datasources remain same, U can migrate them in BI side from 3.5 to 7.0 using RSDS -tcode.
All extractors remains same, Well it again depends on the service packs u r using.
Now the latest for BI is service pack 17 and for Business content patch is Patch 10.
U can find new datasources like 0FI_GL_14 and 0FI_GL_40 and many other queries.
In BI side
1.If you have update rules you will have to create transformations and there is no shortcut here ..if there are routines you will have to write them as well and change the syntax as some of the old syntax of 3.x is no more valid in BI 7.
2.Data loading concept changes as you can bypass the Infosource(but in few places you will need it actually like when you are directly loading from datasource to target and you want to read master data).
3.DTPs will be required..changes in the Process chains for the same.
4.Datasources need migration(first emulate them and test whether the Bi 7 loaidng is working or not otherwise if you migrate you will loose your transfer rule.

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 ?
RegardsHi,
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:
<i>"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."</i>
The new method is:
<i><b>"- 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."</b></i>
I hope this helps,

BUSINESS CONTENT AND LO EXTRACTION
Hi ,
Please tell me
1) what is the main difference between BI content and LO extraction.
2) What happens when we install business content and what happens when we do LO extraction.why are we doing this extraction.?
3) Which process must be done first.
and LO is for logistics extraction i.e. SD,MM etc.(please correct if i am wrong)
4) what about extraction with respect to finance is there anything like LO extraction for finance also?
please explain in simple english.
regards
lap.well,
I think you don't have to care too much about what did the R/3 consultant; of course what they have configured will be reflected in BW. The configuration impacts on how the data is populated and if your business objects are populated in R/3. It may or may not fit with the business requirement and sometimes it gets complicated to represent the data in BW.
But that's why we have the business content.
So you activate BC objects you need to report on in BW. LO datasources and extractors will be part of this activation. Then you connect both systems and extract this data. You'll have to check with your business req if your extraction reflects the R3 data as wanted by definition.
I a fresh server, you will then just customize and implement all the workbench necessary (IObjs, Cubes, ODS, transformations....). if your system is empty then you won't data to check! But you'll move your developpment to a BW QA or PROD sys which will be connected to a client in R3 having data (otherwise your SD consultants wouldn't be able to test either...)
Replication: when a DataSource has been changed in the source system (R3), the BW receiving structure has to be adjusted. this is done via the replication procedure.
The source system keeps a timestamp of when the DataSource has been reactivated the last time. BW has also this timestamp in its DataSource. When you change your DS in R3, the timestamp will be updated. If you request now data in BW from this DS, the system will complain because both DS (in BW and in R3) have different timestamps. That's why you have to replicate prior loading.
The replication may inactivate follow up objects like extract structure, transfer structure and TRules.
hope that helps...

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.

Business Content and Data Sources automatic binding
Hi,
I am not clear about the Data Sources and Business Content sync.
If I transfer the datasources in SBIW(RSA5) and replicate in BW, how it will automatically bind to the infosources and data targets when we activate the relevant infoobjects in BW Business content. As part of Business content activation, will it search for datasources and bind to it automatically? What steps are needed in order to make the everything hooked up correctly?
Can anyone clarify to me how it works? Please explain step-by-step.
Thanks.Is there any addiotional things we need to do at info source level after activating the content? Selecting the correct data source etc.
If there is a enhancement to the extraction structure then what all steps manually we need to do at info source level? When we replicate the data source which has been enhanced, will it create the infoobjects automatically so that they can be used in infosource communication structure?
As I am new to the system, I am running in to all these questions.
Appreciate any help in step by step how things will work.

Business Content and Metadata Repository
Hi
Can any one point me to the right place or if any one know any thing please through some tips on this
What are the benefits of using Business Content?
What is the importance of Metadata repository?
Thanks
FarooqHi Syed Farooq,
Business Content is a pre-configured set of information models based on consistent metadata in the SAP BW.
BI Content makes the supply of information available to those roles in an enterprise that require this information to complete their tasks.
BI Content consists of roles, workbooks, queries, InfoProviders, InfoObjects, InfoSources, transformation rules and extractors for SAP systems and any additional applications that have been selected.
There are lot Adv like BW implemention is accrelarated and so on check the link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/5fb13cd0500255e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
here are some of the load erros which were already discussed in forums..pls go thru them...
Business Content :
SAP Business Information Warehouse delivers pre-configured objects under the collective term Business Content. These objects speed up the implementation of the SAP Business Information Warehouse because they deliver complete solutions for business information requests.
Business Content includes:
· R/3 extractor programs
· DataSources
· Process chains
· InfoObjects
· InfoSources
· Data targets (InfoCubes and ODS objects)
· Variables
· Data mining models
· Queries
· Workbooks
· Crystal Reports
· Web templates
· Roles
Since Business Content are Predelivered we use them , It can reduce considerable amount of time which will be needed if you going for a generic extarction
Hope it helps.

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,
SwethaHi 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

Activation of Xcelsius Dashboard Business Content in BW
Hello Experts,
I'm attempting to install/activate Xcelsius Dashboard queries in BW such as [Human Capital Management Monitor: Organizational Data 1|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/98/cce7bd952a4c18b72ac06c3c393df7/content.htm] but not having any luck.
When going to RSA1 -> Business Content and attempting to select objects for XCLS queries, the system does not respond with anything.
I also can't open it directly from xcelsius.
Any tips from anyone who previously attempted installation of this type of BC?
ThanksMake sure you have the right option selected in the "grouping" button of the BCT collection screen.
it can be set to:
- only necessary objects
- everything before
- everything after
- before and after
For your problem (if you selected the cube), you may have it set to "everything after"... so just before or only necessary would be better options
Also make sure that all the objects are marked for installation. (the checkbox behind them) -
BI LSO - use of business content: problem and limitation
Hi,
we are working on BI to develop some reports from LSO data. We are using 0HR_LSO_1 and 0HR_LSO_3 for participation and resource reservation and a lot of custom datasources from infotype 1001, 1000, 1042, 5007, and so on.
We have met lot of problem in modelling a simple and flexible BI data model, because of lack of information from business content and time dependent maintenance of many information.
Just to report few of the problem we have, we notice that
1. no link between EK and D object is extracted by standard datasource, so no information is there if a D as been attemped as a single course or as a course between several from an EK object;
2. no master data is there for the 0LEARNER characteristic and no link is there with 0EMPLOYEE to better describe P object; if participant is not a P object, you don't have any information about it (!);
3.no master data is there for the 0TRAINTYPE characteristic; we needed to add lot of information to better describe the D object (!);
3. presence of 0TRAINGROUP in participation datasource may cause doubled of information (doubled count of participation) if D object is located under several L object in ovelapping time interval;
3. resource reservation datasource is not able to extract data if resource type is not defined in LSO;
4. performance is quite poor caused by lot of calculation doing by FM "read_infotype_1001" type;
5. no pre-enrolment is considered in business content;
6. no link between resource and participant is there, so you cannot provide any report of type "who partecipate to the edition with this reource type" in a simple way;
We have to develop lot of custom to handle lot of problem like those; so I would like to share experience in BI LSO data flow design and development: please let me have your observation.
thanks in advance.

Hello!!
we are installing a IDES BW system for customer demos, training and so on.
I am tying to activate all HR Business Content, and I began activating Personnel Administration.
Every time that I am trying to activate HR Business Contentt objects, the following error message appears:
Err.tmpo.ejec. CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_LENG
Excep. CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "SAPLRSAOS" had to be terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
A function module was called incorrectly.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE', was
not caught in
procedure "OSOA_UPLOAD" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
The call to the function module "RSA1_OLTPSOURCE_GET_ALL" is incorrect:
In the function module interface, you can specify only
fields of a specific type and length under "I_T_OLTPSOURCE".
Although the currently specified field
" " is the correct type, its length is incorrect.

Best regards,
SeshenHi Sam,
Please check whether datasources are installed and active in the source system.
For remote activation you need role SAP_RO_BCTRA or authorization object S_RO_BCTRA in your profile.
If not active, you can activate via RSA5.
Afterwards, install the transfer rules again.
If you are lower than SPS8, check note 929935.
Hope this helps,
regards,

Problem while installing a query from Business Content
Hi all of you,
I am trying to install this particular query Inventory Turnover from the cube 0IC_C03 (Material/Stock Movements) from Business Content. Now in the third pane in Business Content under Active version available column across the name of this cube there is a calendar symbol.
a. So does it mean that the cube 0IC_C03 (Material/Stock Movements) is installed along with all the objects that are dependent on the cube and all those objects on which the cube is dependent. (NOTE: I had selected the grouping option as In data flow afterwars)
b. When I collapse Query Element I find that some of the queries are not installed. So I expanded Inventory Turnover query, right clicked on it and selected Install All Below.
c. I am getting this error, Abort system error in program SAPLRRI2 and form LI_SETZEN-01- when I execute the query Inventory Turnover. However in Business Content when I installed the report Inventory Turnover under the cube Material Stock/Movement I didnt get any error anywhere. Everything was activated successfully without any errors.
Please tell me how do I install this Inventory Turnover from business content and how do I execute this report from BEx.
Thank you.
TR.Hi Arun,
Thank you for that quick reply. I want to activate only the query and not the cube. I did as you advise me but still I am getting the same error when I run the Inventory turnover report from BEx.
I am able to run other reports from the cube IC_C03. But not this report Inventory turnover. I have also checked the cube and there is data in the cube.
Kindly adivse what to do.
Thank you.
