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

    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.

    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".

    Dear all,
    I am looking for some information about the business content provided by SAP for BW v7 (meaning SAP BI within NW 2004s). I couldn't find anything... what's the practise currently ? Should we use the BC from BW v3.5 ?? What is going to happen in the near future if the BC for v7 are suddenly available ??
    Thanks for your answers !

  • Taking too much time incollecting in business content activation

    Hi all,
    I am collecting business content object for activation. I have selected 0fiAA_cha object,while cllecting in the activation but it is taking too much time and then it asks for source
    system authorisation and then throws error maximum run time exceded. i have selected data flow before there.
    What can be the reason for it.
    Please help..

    Hi ,
    You should also always try and have the latest BI content patch installed but I don't think this is the problem. It seems that there
    are alot of objects to collect. Under 'grouping' you can select the option 'only necessary objects', please check if you can
    use this option to  install the objects that you need from content.

  • Any best practise to archive PO's which does not have corresponding invoice

    Hello,
             As part of initial implementation and conversion, We have a lot of PO's / LTA created but their corresponding invoices were never converted into SAP from legacy system.  SAP archiving program tags those as not business complete as the invoice qty does not match with po qty (there are no invoices to start with).  Just flagging 'delivery complete and final confirmation' of PO does not help.  Anybody ran into similar situation and how did they resolve it?  I am reluctant to enhance standard SAP archiving program to bypass those checks and that is my only last option. Any SAP recommended Note / best practise etc would help.
    Satyajit Deb

    Where is the invoice posted?
    was the invoice posted in the legacy system?
    Clearance of GR/IR account with MR11 will usually close such POs.

    DataSources
    New DataSources have been created for NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 2 and SRM 5.0. These are described here, along with their extraction logic.
    The following graphic shows the data flow from the DataSources to the DataStore objects
    Structure
    Each DataSource has an extraction structure and a data extractor. Generally, this is an RFC-capable function module.
    There are two types of extraction: Specific extraction and generic extraction:
    Specific extraction is strongly oriented towards the data model of the BI System and the necessary extract structure. It executes DataSource-specific processing steps.
    The logic contained within the generic extraction is implemented centrally and can therefore be reused by the specific extraction modules. The generic extraction deals with access to the SRM database and is similar for each DataSource.
    Generic and specific extraction
    Extraction logic in detail
    Data extraction involves the following six function modules:
    InitLoad
    InitLoad is called as soon as an initial upload is started in the BI System. In other words, it is executed when data is loaded into the BI System for the first time. The module can restrict the data extraction according to filter criteria that were defined in BI during extraction (for example, extract the data for a particular timeframe). InitLoad packages the data before it is transferred to the BI System.
    DeltaLoad
    DeltaLoad is called when a document is modified in the SRM System. The module writes data that has accumulated since the initial loading to a delta queue.
    Data Collector
    The Collector reads the required data from the database in the source system. For performance reasons, the data is then buffered in system-internal tables. The tables have the same structure as in the database. This saves time and effort, because data conversion is kept to a minimum.
    Data Consolidator
    The Consolidator groups data that belongs together from a business point of view. The consolidated data is stored in internal tables and is prepared for further processing.
    Data Normalizer
    The Denormalizer prepares the source data for the BI System. It calculates key figures that are required for the report but are not contained on the database and converts data types in the source system to data types of the BI System. Depending on the BI data model, the system now decides how each row is filled with data.
    Data Mapper
    During mapping of the data, the system defines which fields of the denormalized data structure are assigned to the fields of the extract structure. In this way, flat and one-dimensional lines are generated from the data.
    The following table shows the technical names of the function modules of the individual DataSources:
    Description
    0SRM_TD_PO
    0SRM_TD_CF
    0SRM_TD_IV
    0SRM_TD_PO_ACC
    InitLoad
    BBP_BI_PO_EXTRACT

  • 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.

  • Error in Installing Business Content
