Business Content Datasources -Do i need a down time?

Hello friends,
quick question folks
I am going live in Production soon.I would like to know if i need to know if i need to request downtime in R3.
    Master Data
1) 0PM_MAINTPOS_ATTR
    0PM_MAINTPOS_TEXT
    Transactional Data
2) 0CO_OM_CCA_3
     0CO_OM_CCA_8
All four datasources mentioned above business content datasources.They are all full load and no lo related.Do i need to request a downtime for them or do i need to fill any tables or clear any ques for them.
Please advise,
Ronit.
(Points shall be assigned)

Hi Ronit,
none of these datasources mentioned below require downtime.
You can go ahead and load data online and also no table filling is required.

The building block CRM Lead Analysis describes the all the required activities to analyze the Marketing Lead Analysis data from SAP CRM in SAP Business Information Warehouse.
The analysis is carried out with the following queries of the InfoCube 0MKTG_C01 CRM - Lead Management (SAP BW Business Content).
The Lead Management InfoCube contains all the characteristics and data used for the administration of leads. This InfoCube enables you to execute the following standard queries available in SAP BW:
1.     Channel Analysis: This query is used to determine the best channels by which business partners are contacted in the context of a marketing campaign. Following each marketing campaign, the lead manager can compare the success of a given channel to those of others.
2.     Efficiency Reporting: This query is used to analyze the efficiency with which leads are qualified. By navigating to the sales organizations and the responsible employees for the leads, it is possible to assess how efficiently lead teams are working and to identify areas for improvement.
3.     Historical Evaluation: Use to help analyze and compare leads over different intervals (comparison of different quarters or years for example) to see if general characteristics in the processing of leads can be identified for these periods.
4.     Lost Leads: Provides an overview of the number of lost leads in a particular period and the reasons (implemented as a navigation characteristic) for the loss of the leads. This query is used to analyze the main reasons why leads might be lost, with a view to developing new strategies for overcoming these weaknesses.
5.     Channel Mgmt.: Top-n Lost Leads (Current Year): In a Channel Manager Portal, this query provides an analysis of the leads lost by a Channel Manager over the past 12 months. Channel Managers can also view the leads lost by their Channel Partners. In a Partner Portal, this query shows the top-n unsuccessful leads distributed by a Channel Manager to a Channel Partner. Partner Manager can see the lost leads of the Partner Employees over the year. Partner Employee can view his lost leads over the year.........
Before starting activities in this building block, you need to perform or check the following steps:

Where to find info on 4.71 Business Content (datasources mostly)

Our R/3 system is still at version 4.71, and we likely won't be upgrading soon. I've tried looking online for standard BW business content (datasources), but all I seem to find require a higher version of the R/3 system.
Our BW system is on 7.0, however it appears much of the 7.0 content can't be used with our current R/3 version. Is there someplace on help.sap.com, or elsewhere, that would have content for 4.71?
Thanks
Michael

Business content datasource enhancement

Hi Experts,
I am new to HR.
We are implementing HR modules Personnel development and Personnel administration, while I was looking into business content extractors 0HR_PA_0 and OHR_PA_1, I found that there were only few fields in the extract structure but there were many fields in the cube.Do we need to enhance the datasources? how it works?. If anybody did the enhancement to these datasources, please give me the information with examples.
Anita

No, it is no necesary to enhance standard data sources. Those datasources extract, basically employee and date. Most infoobjects in cube are calculated from 0PERSON and 0EMPLOYEE attributes, having in count the date and employed extracted, because most in HR is time dependent.

Reinstallation of Business Content DataSource in SAP R/3

Hi All,
For one of the BCT (busines content) DataSource 2LIS_04_P_MATNR, we notice in our system that the Delta process has been changed from 'ABR' in the delivered version to 'D' in the active version due to which we are not able to have delta loads from this DataSource into an ODS.
We would like to change this back to the BCT delivered version, i.e. revert to the delta process 'ABR'. After we compare the active version with the delivered version in RSA5 the only difference is in the delta process and some field descriptions. Does anyone have any information on:
1. How we can reinstall the BCT provided DataSource?
2. How much time would this take?
3. Would it impact the current delta process whereby this DataSource is feeding various InfoCubes?
4. Would we need a reinitalization of delta for the current InfoCubes that this DataSource is feeding?
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
-Rakhi

Hi Ashwin,
I was looking through many documents in search of answers to my questions so I do not remember which one I had looked at.
But, I guess I understood what I read incorrectly. I now manually changed the ROOSOURCE setting for delta process in the development system to 'D' (here the active and delivered version were 'ABR') and then did a 'Transfer DataSource', it changed the ROOSOURCE entry back to ABR!
So I guess you were right, I will go ahead with this approach.
Many Thanks for your help...you get my points
BTW, how does one uninstall the BCT DataSource in SAP R/3?
Cheers,
-Rakhi

Transferring Business Content DataSources IN BW

Now, i'm practicing transfering bc datasource following best practice, but i encount some problems .
1. the system prompt me that "Request TRNK900700 (IDADMIN) belongs to a different client" when i transfer datasource 2LIS_11_VAITM. i never created the request TRNK900700 , which is default ,so i ask why defaut request is TRNK900700 ,and which blongs to a different client, what mechanism behind which(i'm a fresher)?
2. afterward ,i selected another request self-created ,the system prompt me that "2LIS_11_VAITM is locked in request/task TRNK900701", what logical inside it?
in a word ,with articulateness and simpleness, which master could make me understand systematicly request mechaniasm in sap! or offer me some infomation,
thank a lot in advance!

Hi!
requests are part of Transport system and are used to manage the changes in the system. That means if you change someting in your system normally we need to change some other depedencies in other systems as well. for example after making the changes in the developement system you want to make changes in the Qulatiy management sytems and afterwards in producion.
so notmally we assign them packages which can later be transported to the intended destinations. So when you activate a datasource( a change) this change has may need to take place in other systems as well. so SAP system ask you to select the right package and request which has intended destinations. If you want this change to takeplace only inthe local system and no where else you can delcare it as local object.
here is a help link to changemmanagement and transport system help

Inactive Business Content DataSources in BW DEV

Dear all.
I have activated a few FI Datasources in R3 DEV by "transfer dtasources" and checked them in RSA6. RSA3 also shows records in them. Later, when replicated them in BW DEV, the datasources look "yellow" meaning in modified version.
I know that there is a transaction where we can change the status from modified to active in BW. If anyone knows please share.
OR
if there is any other reason for this problem ... please share your experience.
In which server do i have to make changes (R3 DEV or BW DEV)
Regards.

--> Datasource can be activated at RSDS.
--> If its a BI7 datasource, go in change mode and activate.
--> While replicating system asks which version(3.x or 7) needed while replicating if these are new datasources.

Installation of Datasource from Business content

Hi Friends,
While Installing Datasource from Business content in SAP R/3 encounter with following error message. Can some one guide me how to transfer the hierarchy with Business Content. Appreciate your help in resolving this problem.
Application component FI-GL of DataSource 0FI_TX_4 does not exist
Message no. R8418
Diagnosis
You tried to assign a DataSource to the application component FI-GL. This application component is, however, not entered in the RODSAPPL table as an application component.
System Response
The DataSource is saved, but is not visible in BW under the node NODESNOTCONNECTED.
Procedure
You do not have the option yet to transfer the application component hierarchy from the Content.
You transfer the hierarchy with Business Content.
Thanks & Best regards
Pravin

Sorry if a year has gone by.
This is because you didn't heve the Application Component Hierarchy installed in BW itself. Use rsa6 to do this, in the BW system (not the other source system. Be careful if you have already somehting there, because it will override the hierarchy with the Business Content hierarchy.
If you need to transport the active hierarchy, and not reinstall all the Business Content Datasources, the object is :
R3TR DSAA APCO_MERGED
So, create a workbench transport, and add the above object.

Missing datasources when installing Business Content

Hi All
We have a requirement for a number of SBC infoproviders (BI7/ECC6) which are new to us.
The majority we have installed successfully but we are having problems with 0SLL_C01 / C02 and C03 which relate to Customs and 0BVTSD02 which is a Telephones Sales Acitivity DSO from the Beverage Industries area.
We have 'successfully' installed all the data flows down to the infosource level but none of the datasources were installed.
On re-checking in our source system RSA5/RSA6 we realised there were no datasources available for these infosources.
How do you add business content datasources to your source system so they are available? or have we missed a process?
Thanks
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
The Datasource you are talking about is related to release of SAP GTS 3.0 pack.
So please check with you basis team whether they have installed this plug-in in your source system.
If these release /plug-in are not installed in your sourcce system you wont be able to finf it in the RSA5/RSA6.
Thanks and Regards
Arun

Problem with Business Content install in ECC5 IDES

Hi,
I am having tough time installing business content.
After installing ECC5 IDES, I am trying to install Business Content in BW ( Client 800).
In SBIW, (under Business Content DataSources), I did Transfer Application Component Hierarchy.
Then I transfered few DataSiurces ( 0MATERIAL_ATTR)
Then in BW, I did "Replicate Data Sources". I see all the Datasources in "Data Source Overview"
But When I try to install Business Conetent ( rsa1>> Business Content >> Select Object Types >> InfoObjects>> Select Objects>> Double click ), I couldn't find any InfoObjects from source system. I tried the same for InfoCubes as well..
Am I missing anything?? I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Samba

ECC will have content for 'source system' ie datasource and extractors. On your BW system you need to have the business content add on available before you can see such objects there (infoobjects, cubes).
BW system (whether in the same IDES or another system) needs to have this BW Content add-on. It is one additional step, just having the BW system (without this addon) will not give you what you are looking for.
BW content add-on is typically one set of transport files, installed using SAINT transaction. My guess is your system doesn't have it.

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
Regards
Pradip

Regarding business content

Hi all,
what is business content?
if i need to create business what is the process. how maintain these source system datasource for the business conetent?
shall i add my own infocube for already defined business conent?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Bhaskar

Hi,
Business content is the place where u can find the SAP standard BW objects lyk infoproviders, infosoruces, updaterules, queries etc.,..
Based on the requiremnt we have to c int he business content whether that matches with teh business content objects.
( suppose a customer infocube requirment is tere then we have to take into the consideration what all the dimensions i mean views the users is expecting the reports and model it and simultaneously u can see for the BC infoprovders whether any matches r not if matchign install them and utilize them. It is always recomended to make a copy of the standard ones an use )
U can go to the rsa1->business content -> and spcify the collection paremeters and then can install the BW objects which match ur requirement.
As per DS's are concerned, when u make a connection to any source sytem and replicate the system in the BW end all teh DS's (which are active willbe usable )will be copied over.
Hope this helps if any issue comeback

Install 0FI_GL_4 Business Content with error

Hello,
I've installed info source 3.x. 0FI_GL_4 from Business Content, and now I see that transfer rules is with error, it tells me that the rule for the field BKTXT doesn't exist . This field doesn't exist in my data source, in my structure rule, transfer rule or communication rule. I don't understand that error.
Can I delete my transfer rules and reinstall it from Business Content? Or I need to delete all the flow ?
Thank you !

Hi Simonnik,
First you will need to Replicate the Metadata for the datasource. Goto the concerned data source. Right click and press Replicate metadata.
After that use program RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL and provide the source system name adn concerned infosource name to activate the transfer structure.
It should resolve your issue.

How to install Plant Mantenance from BW business content ?

I am trying to install Plant Maintenance from BW business content.
After the install action the result are :
1.infocubes comes without update rules,infosources,infopackages,datasources.
2.info objects like 0funct_loc come without hier and datasource.
Please some one know how to solve it.

Avi,
Welcome to our community.
Check the grouping mode in RSA1>>Business Content. You will need to set it to "In data flow before" if it's currently set to "Only necessary objects".
Please make sure you use the Xmatch/ Copy functionality wisely so you won't overwrite any objects currently activated in your system.
Hope it helps,
Gili

Business Content Source System Assignment???

Hi Gurus,
i am installing Business content and after going thru few posts in this Forums i have been hearing about Source system assignment in the Business content screen.
but when ever i installed i never really used this option and we have only one R/3 source system
Can anybody explain me its functionality please
thankyou
harish

When you activate Business Content, DataSources from source systems are assigned to InfoSources in SAP BW. If you do not select a source system, all source systems are automatically assigned. If you have several source systems this may take a lot of time because transfer rules have to be activated for each DataSource from each source system.
However an assignment of a DataSource to an InfoSource may not be necessary for all existing Source systems.
Assign only the source systems you need to load data from for the Business Content Objects that you are going to activate.
You can subsequently change the selection you made.
The assignment of source systems is only relevant for transfer rules, DataSources and InfoPackages. If there is more than one source system, only those objects assigned to the specified source system are collected for the transfer. Objects that have not been assigned to the specified source systems are ignored.
