Business Content Change

Hi ,
Can we change the objects delivered by sap Via Business Content . for example if an attribute needs to be added to an infoObject delivered by business content then can we change the business content infoobject after installing it to ur specific needs . Will it give any error in future while transporting, upgradation etc....
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
You can make the changes in the infoobjects provided by SAP but you need to map the fields with the help of Exit so that you can populate the data into them.
Also, the idea should be copying the standard one to your Z object.
Hope it helps!!!!
Regards,
Amit

How to change Selection Criteria for a Business Content Data Source

Hi Experts
I am extracting data using 0CO_OM_CCA_9 Datasource. I would like to be able to select a range of Company Code (BUKRS) to pull in, but I cannot find a way to make certain fields available as selection criteria. When I go into "Change DataSource", I can unselect fields, and even select certain fields, but the option for most is grayed out.
How can I make this field available as selection criteria in Infopackage?
Thanks for the help.

Its not that simple to enable a new selection for a Business Content Datasource, if its not already provided by SAP. Enabling new fields for selection should be accompanied by corresponding extractor code changes to process those field selections and use those selections throughout the extraction process.
Solution for your problem would be create a custom extractor with all the logic of standard extractor (function module BWOMD_GET_CTRCSTA1 for 0CO_OM_CCA_9) and extra logic to process the new fields for selection.
Hope it helps!

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.S

Hi 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.
Reward if helped
thanks

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

Business content master data DataSources & change pointers

Hi,
Why general business content master data DataSources donu2019t have the behavior of the ones created for classification data with transaction CTBW. For the 1CL_* DataSources the corresponding message type RS* is created only when you run a delta initialization, and when you delete that initialization the change pointers for that message type become inactive. With general business content master data DataSources the change pointers are active all the time (even if you want to use those DataSources only for full updates). How can I, in BW, deactivate the change pointers for the DataSources Iu2019m not using?
Thanks!

I always assumed it was because BW hijacked the standard change pointers but in hindsight the change pointers are given a RS prefix so that must be wrong as the entries in BDPCV and BDCPS contain that prefix
But I assume you can run BD22 for the RS change pointers for non processed ones
Interesting question - I await other responses (my hunch is that they hijacked the BADI to write to the BD* tables and left the code in for RS* messages)

Business Content - BC Version changed to ""has no InfoArea?

Hi, I'm looking at 0COUNTRY InfoObject in Business Content and it is telling me there is a difference between the Current Content and the Active Version. The only difference seems to be that the Content Version is Blank where the Active Version is 0CA_IO (Cross-Application). Why would they deliver an object like 0COUNTRY with no InfoArea?
Please see the link:
http://i33.tinypic.com/atsp7a.png

0COUNTRY could belong to many areas so it is probably delivered that way.

How do i redo the changes occured due to installation of business content

I have installed some business content and this has effected about 80 existing Infoobjects and brought them to 'revised' version. This might have also effected other objects like transfer rules, update rules...... But now I want to retain the IObjects to previously 'active' version. Implying i want to do away with my action. I even donot remember what i have tried to instal...may be a datasource or something else. I have chosen the option 'before and after data flow', this i remember. We are presently using NW2004s. How and where do identify what i have tried to install and how do reverse my action.

Dear Raj,
Sorry to know this.. I do not think we can reverse the activation here.. (let us wait for other replies..)
Meanwhile,
You may want to check with basis for the backup of Yesterday so that they can retrieve the data.. It has to be a fast action as if they decided to restore from backup version.. may be you will not loose todays development work..
are the objects get transported?
try collecting again in the same maner and try to prepare in the excel sheet for the objects.. may be the previous LOG also can guide you some starting point..to help u .. ( not very sure..)
I see little painful work for tomorrow..
all the best!
regards,
Hari

Changing business content object

Hi,
If i define a hierarchy under 0material(i am in dev bw),later will i be able to just use the object without the hierarchy underneath?(if i want just 0material in a report)
By doing so am i going to disturb the 0material property in any way?
Thanks and regards,
Haarika.

Haarika,
In report you either should be using the 0Material or the Hierarchy, you can't display both together.
Yes, you are enhancing the business content here but its not going to disturb anything..as far as I think..
Goodluck

Error while activating the business content object

Hi guru,
We have installed a new BI system, and hence we need to activate all the business content object as they are available in delivery version.
So as there was an requirement i tryed to activate the business content object ,that is 0mat (MATNR) material number,
but once done with the installation when i try to find the object and display it
that is i select the object 0mat , context menu and say display or change it does not show the complete screen as it appears for a characterstic and gives a error
"_settings for material number conversion not found"_*
so please help me out what is the problem
Thanks

Thanks Subash Balakrishnan for replying,
but let me inform you that i already did that as i need to install this object and now the object is showing with green instead of grey,
Now my problem is that after selecting grouping and collection when i go to infoobject menu under modelling and find out the object 0mat, it shows in green , but as i need to observe the properties of this object like data type , length etc , i select the object 0mat and right click and select display,
then instead of showing me the object properties screen it gives me the error as mentioned above,
so as you say it has to be in active versoin , but i can not view the normal screen which appears after creating any object ,
now i hope my problem is quiet explanatory so please help me.
Thanks

Business Content for Bill Up transaction in CRM system

To all Experts,
I'm currently working on a project that requires Bill Up transactional data ( Source Table: CMSD_BU ) to flow from CRM to BW system. I'm looking for Business Content that can fulfill this requirement. However, till to date, I couldn't find any information of such Business Content. I'm not sure if such BC exist. Can anyone help if you have experience implement this data flow?
When searching for the DataSource / Extractor, I found BW Extract Structure CMST_BU_BW and CMST_BU_BW_C in the CRM system. But couldn't find any DataSource for both extract structure. Not sure if we need to install any support pack in order make the BC available in the system. Please help if you have any idea.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am new to BW and I'm stuck up with this problem.
I'm trying to load data from external file using business content cube(0PUR_C01)and infosources(2LIS_02_ITM/S012/SCL).
I first installed the above mentioned cube and data sources.
Then I activated the update rules and transfer rules, without any changes.(I don't know what changes might be required!)
Monitor is showing successful load but the cube has 0 enteries.
Even the simulation of update is showing data in the data target.
Can someone please guide me through this ?
Its really urgent....
Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
You can check the Content Release and Last Content Modification for your update Rules following thee given path:
RSA1>BI Content>object Types>Update Rules>Select object(search for ur update rules) -->Transfer Selections.
After they are being transfered to the right pane.On right pane (where you can see the its technical name) scroll towards right you will see last three tabs as "Content Release,Last Content Modification and Person responsible".
Change the Grouping as "Before and afterwards" and then try installing.
Hope it helps.

Business Content Activation of business partner

Hi,
I am activating standard business partner from business content.The business partner we have right now is of version 3.3/01 and has lot of custom fields. When I am activating the version 3.5/03 I want to make sure I don't lose those custom attributes and also want to know how this will impact the cubes,ODS,Infosets,Update rules,Transfer rules, queries etc associated with this InfoObject. Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
Also while trying to simulate installation of an InfoObject,it ends up with red light. It gives me a message that one of the attributes in the latest version is a navigational attribute and the older version it was a display attribute.Hence while simulating I check both the install and match/copy box so that I can transfer the selections without having to make it navigational but end up with the red light. Is it advisable that I go ahead with installation or how should I go above it.
Thanks,
Kal

Kal,
when you activate the new version , the version is changed from M to A and the new business content would become the active state...
But then since the old BPartner IOBJ is being used in ODS.. cubes etc , I am not sure if your Business COntent installation can proceed since there is master data as well as the same being used across BW.
You could try a merge instead to see if he new fields as part of the new business content is carried over.
Hope it helps.
Arun
