Business Content enhancements

Hi Guys,
My client wants an infocube be enhanced with some fields form the R3 and some from an ODS. but there are no common fields in them. can anyone please reply back the solution in how i can enhance the infocube.
regards,
swamy

Hi Rajasheker,
Without knowing the exact scenario it is hard to give you an answer but I hope the following broad guidelines might help you.
1) There must be some thing in common or it may be a case of wrong architecture/missing buseness requirements. Identify the relationship between these two.
2) Or, do they have a 100% parallel relationship by design? In this casse you need to create a high level common object (dummy) to facilitate the consolidatation process (for example company code or worst scheario sys-id) and enhance both cube as well as ODS.
3) Or, if it is a complex situation: Introduce a new object which can build a bridge between these two. Ask the business about the rules.
If it doesn't help, pl give more details.

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.

Enhance business content Data Source

Hello BW Gurus,
Please let me know step-by-step (Detailed) procedure on how to enhance the Business Content Data source
Actual Time and Labor Times 0HR_PT_2
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4b/26c5394dbfef35e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
This Data source is already extracting Data for HR Tables PA2001,I want to enhance the data source to include start date and end date from the same table.
Please give me detailed steps how i can do it (Do i nned to modify the function module of data source if how how and where) .Please help as it is my first extraction from R/3
Thanks

Hi
Enhancement means in the SAP given datasource If you want to add extra fields.
The procedure is like below.
Take the datasource in which you enhance.
1. If you enhancing in the LO datasaource, take the aprapriate communication strucute append the structure in that structure add the fields you wnat enhance.
If you are enhancing other than LO you take extract structure append the structure and add the fields in that structure.
2. Goto LBWE Tcode take the option called "Maintain Extract structure" take the fields which you enhanced from pool take push in to extract strucure.
If you enhancing other than LO no need to do this.
3. Goto RSA6, take datasource, goto change mode. The enhanced fields Hide option checked, reomove that tick and save it.
4. Goto "CMODE" tcode, If project is already created for that enhancement goto disply mode. If the project is not created give the project name created and give the enhancemet name as "RSAP0001" and save it.
in the component you can find 4 Function modules
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 -> Transaction Data
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002 -> masterdata attributes
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_003 -> Master data Texts
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 -> Masterdata Hirarchies.
Take the apprapriate FM and double click on it
there you can find Include name. If you double click on it you can find ABAP editor.
there we have to write the code
example code will be like below.
data: l_s_icctrcst like icctrcst,
l_s_icctract like icctract,
l_s_icctrsta like icctrsta,
l_tabix like sy-tabix.
case i_datasource. */ in BW 1.2B case i_isource.
when '0CO_OM_CCA_1'.
loop at c_t_data into l_s_icctrcst.
l_tabix = sy-tabix.
select single * from z0001 where kokrs = l_s_icctrcst-kok
and kostl = l_s_icctrcst-kostl.
if sy-subrc = 0.
l_s_icctrcst-zfield1 = z0001-zfield1.
l_s_icctrcst-zfield2 = z0001-zfield2.
modify c_t_data from l_s_icctrcst index l_tabix.
endif.
endloop.
when '0CO_OM_CCA_2'.
when '0CO_OM_CCA_3'.
when others.
exit.
endcase.
This is example code.

Displaying all enhanced Business Content Objects?

Hey all.
Is there a way to display all Business Content objects that have been enhanced/modified without checking each one individually?
Specifically, I am wanting to know which standard InfoObjects in our system have been enhanced, but I don't want to have to manually check each object to determine if it has been enhanced or not.
Thanks in advance.

Finding fields in R/3 for data extraction VS Business content

Hi all,
I am doing my first BW project after my training and I am finding it difficult to locate some fields that should be part of my report.
The Consultant says Sales Group, Inco terms, Open orders, Account assignment group, Sold to party, ship to party, Payment terms, Document currency and base currency, Complete deliver indicator, Order type and Count of Complete deliveries required should all be in the Order while transmission type and number of transmissions should be in NAST.
I have gone to R/3 - RSA6 to look at datasources and found 2LIS_01_S260 (Sales order) to have most of the fields but not payment terms, complete delivery indicator, open orders base currency and count of complete deliveries required. Also in Sales document header data, these fileds are not there.
Is it a case of not understanding the correct name of the fields if they are described in a different manner in R/3 or I have not done the proper thing? Can I just use an infocube in BW business content to get all the required objetcs -(infocube, infosource, datasource).
Thank you

Hi,
Finding the correct Infoobject and it's mapped field is a job of BIW consultant. But the problem is how to find them and how to frind respective R/3 field and it's table. You will be familar with them as your experience increases.
So you need to list of fields you require and then find out the Datasource/s which can give these fields by going through the Business content help or using LBWE Tcode in R/3.
The datasource you mentioned is obsolate one. i.e 2LIS_01_S260 .
You better to go wtih new DSes like 2LIS_11_VAITM,2LIS_11_V_ITM.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw31/helpdata/en/8f/36f338472b420de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If allmost all fields are avialable in a DS , then you can check the possibility of enhancing the DS for remaining Fields.

BI Business content in BI 7.0 flow

Is there any place where the release plan for BI Content is available?
The basic thing that I want to know is when will be the BI 7.0 Version of Business Content be available? This would help in deciding to activate the current BW 3.5 flow or wait for BI 7.0 flow.
I am planning to implement the Business Content for Plant Maintenanace (PM). I know that now the content is in BW 3.5 version, but no idea when will it be available in BI 7.0 flow.
TIA
Abhishek

Hi
My question is whether SAP is providing the Business Content for PM in BI 7.0 flow or not? We have to install the Business Content on BI 7.0 system. So if SAP is providing the content in 7.0 we will install that directly and enhance it when required.
Otherwise we have to install the 3.5 content and then upgrade to BI 7.0 flow as and when we modify/enhance the content. The only problem here is we will have to understand the custom routines in the content and migrate them to BI 7.0.
I hope you understand the requirement.
Regards
Abhishek

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.

How to get the BW 7.0 Business content data sources

Hi,
We have got following sever components
SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0
SAP_BW - 701 - SAPKW70106
BI_CONT 705
When we try to install the business content in T.Code: RSOR, we are getting 3.x data sources even though latest servers are in place.
Do we need to any settings in order to get 7.0 data sources and its flow(transformation and DTPs).
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Bala

SAP will not touch any of existing 3.x BW Content and change everything to 7.X content in the new BW Content version.
Most of the BW Content that was created earlier will still be in 3.x version only. You will see a small .(dot) before that object showing that it is in 3.x version.
SAP Provides only mechanism to migrate them into 7.X concepts as shown in below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/f00e2696d24c5fe10000000a155369/frameset.htm
You can still use 3.x objects with out any problem.
In most implementations, the approach they use is, as long as you do not need to enhance or add any standard content, you can retain it the way it is. The enhancements include, adding a field, changing the structure of source or target, or you want to use better functionality in 7.x objects, then you can always migrate them as discussed in the above link
When you convert them, if you select "With exports" you can go back to older version later. If you select "Without exports" then the object is permanently transformed.
I you have to touch a standard object for any enhancement or reason, better convert it to 7.x version

Business Contents

Iam having a reporting requirement, having fileds vendor no(0vendor), PO number(EKPO-EBELN), Item no.(EKPO-EBELP),Material No.(0material), Material Description(MAKT-MAKTX), Tracking no(EKPO-BEDNR),Order quantity(0 PO_QTY (OR) 0ORDER_QUAN), Received Quantity(0GR_QTY), Date Received ( ?), Price(0NETPRICE).
I found these fields for infocube Purchasing data 0PUR_C01 and Infosource 2LIS_01_ITM.
Could u plz advice me the infoobjects I got correct r not and some info. Regarding the other infoobjects which I couldnt able to find it.
Thanks In advance.
Cheers.

Hello Robyn,
Please search for below BC cube and infosource in Business Content section on help.sap.com.I am sending the link below..
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/37/5fb13cd0500255e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
I think it will surely have PO number,Item number etc in it.
If u see that some required infoobjects arent in the std one,u may have to enhance the cube.
Search in other BC cubes to see which suitable infoobjects u can use.
Copy out the BC cube and enhance the copy.Name the copy as 'Z(BC cube tech name)'.
cheers,

Package name in business content

when i am trying to activate a cube in business content,when i click install and transport,i am getting a pop up window asking for a package name
can somebody please give me some info on this,what is a package name,is it just like a folder or anything else

You can go to se80 and open any Package and F1 over the name of the package and you can see the sap Help...
Package
Packages extend the concept of development classes to improve modularization, encapsulation, and decoupling in the SAP System.
Development classes, used until now, are simple containers for development objects, provided with a transport layer that specifies how they were to be transported. As an enhancement to development classes, packages include the following attributes: nesting, interfaces, visibility, and use accesses.
Nesting is the ability of a package to include other packages within the package hierarchy.
Visibility is an attribute of package elements. A development element can be visible from outside the package. (It is always visible inside its own package, though not necessarily all the packages embedded in this package). A development element is visible externally if it is included in at least one package interface.
The use access gives a package the right to use the development elements in the package interface of another package. Note that this right is one-way only.
Package
Definition
Related objects in the ABAP Workbench are grouped together in a package. The assignment of an object to a package is entered in the object directory (TADIR). The package determines the transport layer that defines the transport attributes of an object.
The packages are entered in the table TDEVC. They can be maintained in the following transactions:
Transaction SE80 -> Enter package -> Double-click the package
Transaction SM30 - Table/view name V_TDEVC
The packages are themselves objects of the ABAP Workbench. They belong to their own packages.
In contrast to its predecessor, the development class, a package has the following additional characteristics:
Packages can be nested.
Packages can contain their 'visible development objects' (visible outside of the package) in package interfaces.
Packages can have use access defined for other package interfaces.
Use
When an ABAP Workbench object is created, the system prompts you to assign it to a package. The package should describe the area that the object belongs to.
The representation of the object tree in the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80) uses the package as a navigation aid. If there are more than 100 objects of a certain type (that is, ABAP programs), the object tree can no longer be clearly represented and it becomes increasingly difficult to use the ABAP Workbench. In this case, we recommend creating new packages with the same transport layer and distributing the objects to the new packages on the basis of the areas they belong to.
The following naming conventions for packages determine the packages' functions:
Package begins with A-S or U-X:
These packages are for SAP standard objects. Customer objects cannot be created in them. Changes to objects of these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer (Request management) and can be transported (see field transport layer.
Package begins with Y or Z:
Customer objects can be created in these packages. Changes to objects in these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer (Request management). The objects can be transported to other SAP Systems (see the field transport layer ).
Package begins with T (private test package):
When you create a package of this type, you can specify whether you want changes to be recorded. If so, objects that are edited are recorded in local requests by the Transport Organizer. This package does not belong to a transport layer. Objects can only be transported to other SAP Systems if a transport request is created.
Package begins with $ (local package):
Changes to objects are not recorded by the Transport Organizer. The package does not belong to a transport layer. The objects cannot be transported.
Package begins with a namespace prefix:
If you have reserved a namespace, then you can create packages (and other objects) whose names begin with the namespace prefix.
(Example of a namespace prefix /COMPANY/, example of a corresponding package /COMPANY/DEVCLASS)
Changes to these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer, and can be transported.

Business Content Upgrade Activation Procedure

Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for a procedure or best practices document that will help me with the steps I need to follow when activating business content due to an upgrade when some of the objects have already been activated and are being used in PRoduction. As an example, we upgraded our BW system to 3.5 but didn't activate any of the Business Content so everything continued to run just fine. Now we activated a new InfoArea that overlapped some of the objects that were already active. A good example is 0REGION. The DataSource in R/3 changed to use a different table for the view so new fields are now available which are actually the same as the fields that were already there but with different names. So the transfer rules show as modified/inactive. I transferred the new structure from R/3, replicated in BW, and changed the transfer rules to use the new fields. Is this the procedure that needs to be followed for any object that was put on the tranport? I've also noticed that many InfoObjects are on the transport but the only change I can see is that the content version changed so if the InfoObject didn't really have any changes, why the version change?
As I mentioned, this is the first time we've activated new content after an upgrade and I'm totally in the dark as to what the procedure should be to follow to get everything cleaned up and up to date.
When you are activating a new area, do you pick and choose which objects you want to activate/match or do you generally just activate the entire InfoCube or InfoArea?
Thanks for any insight,
Diane Merrill

Hi Diane,
I think you should go with infosource or may be with application component. Collect everything of that area and let the system check the already active objects so that it is not just activating the new content but enhancing already active objects with the new content features. But take care, this option is only available when you start this activation in foreground. In background there is only a overwrite mode available which might lead to a loss of developments.

Siggi

What is the use of Match(X) or Copy in Business Content Collected Obj..?

Hi All,
In Business Content, After doing Drog nd Drop on Collected Objects, There, after Install Icon(I) we will find Match(X) or Copy (M) ......
Can anybody tell me what is mean by it and why and where do we use it.....?
Please Reply me.......
Regards,
Kiran Telkar

Hi Kiran,
Match (X) or Copy
If the SAP delivery version and the active version can be matched, a checkbox is displayed in this column.
With the most important object types, the active version and the SAP delivery version can be matched.
From a technical point of view, the SAP delivery version (D version) is matched with the M version. As in most cases the M version is identical to the active version (A version) in a customer system, this is referred to as a match between the D and A versions for reasons of simplification.
When a match is performed, particular properties of the object are compared in the A version and the D version. First it has to be decided whether these properties can be matched automatically or whether this has to be done manually. A match can be performed automatically for properties if you can be sure that the object is to be used in the same way as before it was transferred from Business Content. When performing matches manually you have to decide whether the characteristics of a property from the active version are to be retained, or whether the characteristics are to be transferred from the delivery version.
Example of an automatic match
Additional customer-specific attributes have been added to an InfoObject in the A version. In the D version, two additional attributes have been delivered by SAP that do not contain the customer-specific attributes. In order to be able to use the additional attributes, the delivery version has to be installed from Business Content again. At the same time, the customer-specific attributes are to be retained. In this case, you have to set the indicator (X) in the checkbox. After installing the Business Content, the additional attributes are available and the customer-specific enhancements have been retained automatically. However, if you have not checked the match field, the customer-specific enhancements in the A version are lost.
Example of a manual match
An InfoObject has a different text in the A version than in the D version. In this case the two versions have to be matched manually. When Business Content is installed, a details screen appears which asks you to specify whether the text should be transferred from the active version or from the D version.
The Match indicator is set as default in order to prevent the customer version being unintentionally overwritten. If the Content of the SAP delivery version is to be matched to the active version, you have to set the Install indicator separately.
The active version is overwritten with the delivery version if
¡ the match indicator is not set and
¡ the install indicator is set.
In other words, the delivery version is copied to the active version.
If the Install indicator is not set, the object is not copied or matched. In this case, the Match indicator has no effect.
In the context menu, two options are available:
a. Merge All Below
The object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy are selected as to Match.
b. Copy All Below
The Match indicators are removed for the object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy. If the Install indicator is also set, these objects are copied from the delivery version to the active version.
hope this helps.

Sreedhar

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.
Thanks.

Business Content for CRM

All,
We are in the Blue Print phase of our CRM project. During the Integration of CRM 7 EHP 1 to our BW 7 EHP 1 system we notice a parcular issue. After executing all the necessary steps on both the CRM side and the BW side, we notice that only a handful of data sources are being activated when choosing the RSDS activation mode. The work around, we had to delete the datasources we want to use but that were not automatically activated, and then reactivate using 3.x mode.
Both systems are on the latest SPS and both systems have the same version of SAP_BW and BI_CONT 7.04. Is this the way it is suppose to work? Is business content delivered on 3.x version? Do we need to convert Business Content to 7.0 before trying to activate it?
Thanks in advance.
Jose

Hi,
CASE-I
Maintaining the same SPS Versions and Datasouce version is differant.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/ca/85f911c4bda4479af0a062bd9dfa94/frameset.htm
CASE-II
As you are upgradeing to CRM 7.0. I guess you have to upgrade the datasouce to BI 7.0. To enjoy the recent advantages/functionalities of netweaver . Upgrading is a process of enhancing to a newer version, facilitate to roll back to older version if require.
Migration from BW to BI7 after all upgrade you can migrate 3.0 objects to 7.0 read this article

How to Activate at least one part of the Business Content of CO-PA

Dear Experts,
Is ther any chance of Activating at least one part of the Business Content of CO-PA, like Info Objects and key figures in the BI Content, berore replicating the CO-PA Data source?
As the structure of the info cube should correspond to that of the related operating concern, But BI
donot support predefined Business content for any operating concern.
Experts kindly sugest in this point of view. And also kindly provide live senario's with CO-PA
Extraction.

Hi
If i got your question properly
If you are talking about any operating concern BC Data sources , we dont have any BC Ds for COPA operating concern
can use KEB0/2 to work on COPA
