Hi,
You will go for Business Content extractor when the Customer requirement match with the content extractor delivered by SAP, other wise you will customize or create a Generic Extractor.

Delta Enabled Business Content Extractors and Safety Intervals

Is there a transaction/table from where I can check the safety intervals of Business Content extractors for example 2LIS_13_VDITM. If I created a Z copy of an extractor is there a way of changing this value? Thanks

There are two fundamentally different extractor types:
1. Que, which is updated at time of transaction
2. Delta based on incremental field on transaction
LIS extractors are type 1 and CO extractors and generic data sources are type 2.
Type 1 is more advanced as it handles the change directly. Type 1 handles complex data scenarios where type 2 is better for simple scenarios. Learn more i BW350

Business content extractors

Hi All,
Why is it suggested to use business content extractors when compared to custom generated extractors? performance ?? if yes, how does it affect...
can anyone please explain??
Thanks in advance.
--Monica

Not really for performance, but because the Business content are predefinited into real scenario of business.
In many case to define a complete scenario (example inventory management or CRM activity...) without BI content you must define houndreds of objects and connect them to the object of source system.
With BI contect (and extractors) you can start with a great part of your object already defined. (after I think you need to define your custom object).
Second the standard extractor will be mantained from SAP to be coerent to the SAP application (inventory management, CRM, ...)
Are these the main reasons to suggest the Business content extractors.

When we go for Business content extraction and when we go for LO/COPA etc.e

Hi Dear Friends
When we go for Business content extraction and when we go for LO/COPA etc.extractions
Thanks
Learner

Hi,
It depends on the KPI you are extracting for,if Business Content Extractor provides you with those then there is no need for generic extractors.
In CO-PA the KPI for profitability differs from client to client.You have Business Content for CO-PA also...

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

Find an R/3 table in a Business-Content extractor

Hi all,
Is there any web site or place I can go, type the name of an R/3 table in, and find if that table exists in a Business Content extractor?
Thanks.
Dave

Hi Dave,
I don't know about any website providing info abt DS, but I know how to find out the extractor,
Check Table ROOSOURCE (TCode SE16).
If field EXMETHOD = V (Transparent Table or DB View), name of datasource can be searched with field EXTRACTOR containing the table or view name.
In SE 11 you can process the u201Cwhere usedu201D function for a table to determine the views related to it and then search for them.
Hope this anwer your query.

Business Content extractors' "other fields" - How do I get them?

Hi everyone.
I have installed <b>0CO_OM_OPA_6</b> from Business Content, however there are 6 fields that don't appear. If you right-click on 0CO_OM_OPA_6 in DataSource Overview (RSA1-->SourceSystems) and choose "Object Overview", a window pops up with all the contents listed and grouped as Characteristics, Key Figures, Time Characteristics and Units, and at the end there is a section called "Other Fields" which contains the object I want, AUTYP (Order Category).
Does anyone know how to get this? It did not appear when I activated the business content, and it is not available in Transfer Rules or Communication Structure.
Thank you!

hi,
sorry... just check in system...
yes field AUTYP isn't appear in transfer structure,
checking r/3 side, transaction rsa6, the field AUTYP is a selection, but going detail to table ROOSFIELD (se16), AUTYP has value '1' for field SELECTION, using F1, it's explained
'1': Pure selection field for the DataSource. The customer can change the selection, but not the visibility
it should mean it's not visible, which differ from AUFNR which has value 'X' (selectable and visible).
there also written
'A field that is not visible (or that is hidden) cannot be transferred into the transfer structure.'
we can update the value ROOSFIELD-SELECTION for AUTYP with abap program but don't know it will work or not.

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.

Business content option and update

hi
can anyone say teh use of match (x)& copy and simulation result in business content in AWB.
wht is v1 ,v2 and v3 update
thanks in advance

Hi Pradeep,
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.
Regards,
Sreedhar
