Business content--right start ???

Hi Gurus,
can anybody suggest me what would be the right order in installing the business content.
like if i want to install infocube-infosource-datasource...and able to start loading data from the r/3.
plz guide me with available approaches and their affects and advantages.plz.
thanks and regards
neelkamal

hi Neelkamal,
you can take take this approach,
- infocube with grouping 'only necessary objects'
[if have ods]
- ods with grouping 'only necessary objects'
- ods, grouping 'in dataflow' before (this will cover infosource, datasource)
- infocube, 'in dataflow' before
take a look

How to find the right primary key for DSO from Business Content

According to best practice design, it is reccomended to make a DSO where all fields from Business COntent Datasources are transferred.
But, how to find the right primary indeks ?
Any good suggestions ?
For many of the Business Content dataflows there are not DSOs present, so ther e is no tip to get from the dokumentations as gfar as I have found.
best Regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,
Your question will be perfect in case if you are going for a Custom cube.
You will not have any problem when you create a Datasource in R/3 level even if it is been built on a single table or on view.
Only point that you want to know how to design my Key fields in ODS.
This will be purely depends at what level that you want to bring the data.
Egg:-
If you run the data source in RSA3 and check for Each GL if you have 10 liine items and you want all the 10 line items to be transfered to BW.
In this case you need to check what is the unique combination of fields that is making this lineitems to exists as 10.then include all those fields into Your ODS Key Fields.
This way you can have 10 records for that perticular GL in both sides, by which u will make sure that the data is been completely transfered.
If in case if you clude your own Key fields then you will get the correct Total in report for each GL but you can't see all those 10 line items.
For any case you need to figureout how many records that you want to take into BW based on that check the fields that makes it unique and then add them to ODS Keyfields that will solve your requirement.
I think this will clear your doubt.
Best Regards,
VNK.

Please help on Business content

Hi Gurus,
I have read so many answers and papers giving the steps how to transfer,replicate and extract business content, that is all fine and very helpful. I apologise for very long topic, but I think answers to this would help loads of learners like and everyone would be grateful to you(all).
But not found a details such as for e.g. for cube 0FIAP_C03
Question: Does this business content has InfoObjects,ODS, InfoCube and BEx queries are already defined in BW? Do we need to activate them and start reporting on the queries?
R/3 Side:
1. Transfer Data sources 0FI_AP_3(Vendors: Line Items) and 0FI_AP_4(Vendors: Line Items with Delta) from R/3 from RSA5. Does this mean that the Data sources are created/activated in R/3?
BW Side:
2. AWB --> Source Systems --> Select Source System ---> Right click ---> Replicate Data Sources. When I click on + sign next to the DS, this shows already assigned infosource. When I click on - sign next to the DS, this asks an infosource to be assigned. What does the +/- sign means there? What does the 'TICK MARK' means there?
3. AWB ---> Business Content ---> Install --> Do we get a chance here to activate InfoObjects, Transfer Rules,Update rules, Infocube and BEx query? Once we install here, then only the cube 0FIAP_C03 is going to appear in InfoProvider and then for BEx query designer?
4. AWB -
> Info Sources -
> My Application Component ---> Assign InfoSource (We already did that in Step2, what does this mean here?) -> Assign Data Source-> Create InfoPackage -
> Schedule. One (0FI_AP_3) DataSource is for line Items and another for Line Items Delta (0FI_AP_4). Do we need to schedule both at the same time? Is the DS 0FI_AP_3 not for Init Delta? Is the DS 0FI_AP_4 not for Delta?
Please can you send me any documents of this detail to [email protected].
I appreciate all your patience to read and answer my questions here. Is there any training or personal attention available in the UK?
Thanks again.
Chitra.

HI,
Question: Does this business content has InfoObjects,ODS, InfoCube and BEx queries are already defined in BW? Do we need to activate them and start reporting on the queries?
Answer:Business content has infoobject, ods, infocube, queries in "D" version.
SAP delivers the BI Content objects in a new D Version.
Before you can work with BI Content objects, you have to convert them from the SAP delivery version (D version) into the active version (A version).
R/3 Side:
1. Transfer Data sources 0FI_AP_3(Vendors: Line Items) and 0FI_AP_4(Vendors: Line Items with Delta) from R/3 from RSA5. Does this mean that the Data sources are created/activated in R/3?:
Like BI business content. predefined objects in R/3 (datasources ) are maintained in RSA5 and Activated datasources are available in RSA6
BW Side:
2. AWB --> Source Systems --> Select Source System ---> Right click ---> Replicate Data Sources. When I click on + sign next to the DS, this shows already assigned infosource. When I click on - sign next to the DS, this asks an infosource to be assigned. What does the +/- sign means there? What does the 'TICK MARK' means there?
3. AWB ---> Business Content ---> Install --> Do we get a chance here to activate InfoObjects, Transfer Rules,Update rules, Infocube and BEx query? Once we install here, then only the cube 0FIAP_C03 is going to appear in InfoProvider and then for BEx query designer?
Ans: Once install it it will be available in Active version accroding to the component it has been assigned(SD or CRM). otherwise it will be in Unassigned Node.
4. AWB -
> Info Sources -
> My Application Component ---> Assign InfoSource (We already did that in Step2, what does this mean here?) -> Assign Data Source-> Create InfoPackage -
> Schedule. One (0FI_AP_3) DataSource is for line Items and another for Line Items Delta (0FI_AP_4). Do we need to schedule both at the same time? Is the DS 0FI_AP_3 not for Init Delta? Is the DS 0FI_AP_4 not for Delta?

Question on activation of Business content.

Hi friends,
Our client is implementing BW , and we are in the process of activation of business content, I already some content activated already , for Porcurement, right not I see , in Administrator work bench > Infoprovider TAB>0MMPUR_IO and all the master data objects under neath it and the same under Infosources tab also , so what is the grouping they might have follwed in installing and with what activation they must have started with ( IO, Infoarea, Insource..data targets ..)?
Once we know what they have followed with , we want to continue the same for others .
thank you.

You can still activate content with grouping as required but in the process just make sure you set/flag the Match(x)or Copy and Installation will not impact/overwrite already activated objects.

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:
1.     From the BW Connectivity building block the following activities have to be completed:

Business Content Contains IS InfoObjects ?

Hi all,
We are new to BI and are trying to activate some Business Content. I have choosen 1 cube and selected only necessary objects. It looks like the cube contains InfoObjects that are for industry solutions such as Retail. We don't use Retail so my communication structure does not match my transfer structure. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Should all the different Industry Solutions exist in D status in BI? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mark

Usually you have to search for the relevant infocubes which is categorized in Business Content.
Activating business Content should be done in the following way.
Set the Collection mode "Start Manual Collection".
In Grouping Select "Data flow before".
You have to drag the 0PUR_C01 and push it right window.
Click the Gather the Objects (it will look like "Execute" Button).
By this you will get all the infoobjects,transfer rules and infsources.(I doubt whether you will get the ODS.If the update rules of 0PUR_C01 is based on ODS then you have to collect it separately.But I think this cube is updated directly.The problem is you don't know which is the ODS for a cube.You can get it from Meta Data Repository.)
You can set the source system (Yellow Button next "CTO") by which your source system assignments will be over.
select "Install in Background".
You can check the Job overview in SM37 whether the installation is over or not.
With this you will be able to do the Extraction.
For Queries and Workbooks you have to select "Data Flow after" in the grouping.
Look at the infocube and find any gaps are there and you can add those keyfigures and characteristics.
Accordingly you should modify your datasources also at the R/3.
First you have to load the master data and then Transaction data. If not you will find performance issues.
Finally award points if I my suggesstions are working.

Turning Business Content on a Test/QAS Box

I have turned on Business Content on our BW DEV box for CRM. Can I turn on the same Business Content on our BW QAS box and remap?
My issue is that the transports of the business content turned on for CRM in DEV Opportunities ODS, InfoCube, and Info Objects are giving me errors when I import to QAS regarding missing info objects that should be linked by business content when it was turned on.
Time crunch.

hi,
the 'normal' way is via transport.
please collect these missing infoobjects in BW Dev and transport to BW QAS.
you can use ods or infocube as starting point,
rsa1->transport connection->left panel choose 'object type' and middle panel choose infocube/ods and 'select objects' and 'transfer', it will go to right panel,
use collection mode 'manual' and grouping 'only necessary objects', execute. after objects collection finished, expand the infocube/ods, and make sure these missing objects are there and marked. create request and transport then transport again the previous error request.
hope this helps.

Clarifying relationship between business content objects in R3 and BW

Hi,
On R3 in SBIW, under Organizational Management, there were 3 datacources:
0HR_PA_2
0HR_PA_3
0HR_PA_OS_1
1
In BW, under Organizational Management, in the attempt to replicate the datasources, I found these same 3 datasources already there.
So, initially when BW was configured for the first time, did these 3 exist exactly the same as in R3 or their existence implies that someone has already performed the data transfer process in SBIW (in R3) before these 3 data sources in R3 appeared in BW?
2.
Now, in BW, in rsa1, Business Contents, Infoproviders, under Organizational Management, in the attempt to activate the datasource, I notice that the technical name for Organizational management is 0PAOS instead of 0PA_OS in R3; and the datasources available under 0PAOS are different:
0PA_DS02
0PA_DS03
0PAOS_C01
a) Shouldnt I have see the same datasources that I replicated under BW/Business Contents for activation? The descriptions seem to be the same though.
b) Again, were these 3 (0PA) there after the initial BW configuration or someone went through a process in BW to bring them from R3 down here?
c) Will activating these implies activation of the 0HR_ . Datasources, although they are with different technical names?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on your last mail, I now followed: Business Content, InfoSources by Application Component, Personnel Management Organizational Management then Organizational Management Master Data which now shows
0HR_PA_2
0HR_PA_3
0HR_PA_OS_1
which I was looking for. So you are right, I was looking at the wrong place. But see the instructions that I was following from SAP, it pointed me to Business Content then Data Target and that is why I chose the InfoProvider areas.
By the way this was the instructions I was following:
Activate the Structural Authorizations ODS data targets 0PA_DS02 via Business Content Activation function. (Admin Workbench -> Business Content -> Data Target -> Human Resources ->Organizational Management -> drag 0PA_DS02 to the right pane. Use Data Flow before and after option under the Grouping Icon and Install in batch on the right pane of your screen.
2. Any comment on this part of my question?
Since this is IDES, I want to remove all the datasources under Organizational Management in BW and start it afresh from R3 and get it into BW. What is the best way to remove them?
Thanks

sridhar
[email protected]

Hi Sridhar,
In the main menu of the SAP Business Information Warehouse select BW Administration ->Administrator Workbench.
Select the Business Content function area using the corresponding pushbutton in the left-hand navigation window or by Jump -> Install Business Content
With the pushbutton Navigation Window On/Off on the application toolbar in the Administrator Workbench, you can show or hide the left-hand navigation window. We assume that the navigation window remains hidden in the following section.
If you want to assign source systems, select Assignment Source System. The Select Source System as Default dialog window appears.
Select one or more source systems by setting the corresponding indicators in the Default Assignment column.
The assignment of source systems is only relevant for transfer rules, file 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.
If you do not select a source system, all source systems are automatically assigned.
You can subsequently change the selection you made using Source System Assignment .
Change the required settings in the following selection list:
Grouping
Choose the objects that you want the system to consider. The groupings summarize all the objects of an area.
Grouping
Information
Only necessary objects (standard setting)
Only those objects that are really necessary for the action, that is, the transport of the selected objects, are taken into account (minimal selection).
In data flow before
All objects are collected that submit data to a collected object.
In data flow after
All objects are collected that obtain data from a collected object.
In data flow before and after
All objects are collected that both submit and collect data.
If you change the default setting ( only necessary objects), the new setting will be used as a standard for the user.
Collection Mode
Select how you want to collect the objects:
Collection Mode
Information
automatic collection (standard setting).
The data is collected directly when the objects are selected.
Start manual collection
The data is only collected when you select Collect dependent objects.
Select an Object Type you want to transfer.
You have various selection options in the navigation window in the Business Content function area of the Administrator Workbench.
When you select an object type, the arrangement and selection of the existing objects are displayed in the tree structure of the central screen area as below:
Object Type in the Administrator Workbench Navigation Window.
Display objects in the tree structure in the central screen area.
Data targets by InfoAreas
List of InfoCubes and ODS objects by InfoAreas.
InfoObjects by application components.
List of objects by InfoObject catalog and by InfoAreas
InfoSources by application components.
List of InfoSources for master data and transaction data.
Roles
List of the standard and branch roles.
Object Types
List of objects by type (InfoArea, application, InfoObject catalog, role, workbook, query element, InfoSet query, Crystal Reports template, Web template, Web item, saved query view, MultiProvider, InfoCube, InfoObject, InfoSet, Classic InfoSet, ODS object, update rules, InfoSource transaction data, transfer rules, source system, InfoPackage group, InfoPackage, process chain, Reporting Agent, report/report interface, currency conversion type
Objects in BW Patch
List of installed BW patches including list of objects newly delivered or re-delivered with the respective patch.
Package
List of packages in which there are SAP objects.
Select the object(s) you want to transfer in the central screen area and transfer them into the right-hand Collected Objects screen area by drag and drop.
Using Search for Object, you can also search for objects by a string (for example, 0CUST) or by pattern (for example, 0CUST_*B).
You can display a value help for every object type: By double clicking on Select Objects in the tree structure of the corresponding object type, the screen Value Help for Metadata appears. Select the required objects. Choose Transfer selections.
You can only use Business Content DataSources of a source system for transferring data in BW, when you have transferred these in their active forms and then copied them into the BW system.
The system displays the selected object(s) and all dependent objects in the Collected Objects screen area. To reduce the time taken to access the objects when wanting to use them again, the collected objects are stored by default in the Repository Cache.
When transferring the objects to the Collected Objects screen area, the objects are added at the same time to the tree structure of the corresponding object type in the central screen area and are saved for the respective user. This personal object list is available every time the program is restarted.
To remove objects from the personal list, select the object in question and choose Remove Object from Display via the context menu or via .
Objects that are listed in several tree structures are only displayed as changeable the first time they appear. Each time they are listed again, they are highlighted in gray and are not ready for input.
Check the following columns in the Collected Objects screen area:
The following Business Content objects are highlighted in the Transfer column by default:
Objects transferred for the first time
Objects delivered again in a new version from Business Content.
When the SAP delivery version and the active version can be compared, a check box is shown in the column Compare (X) or Copy.
There is a check mark in this checkbox by default. In this case, your version is compared with the new SAP delivery version and complimented.
If you remove the indicator then the new SAP delivery version is copied in its entirety.
Date symbol: The object is already available in an active version. However, the active version belongs to an older Content Release. We recommend that you adopt the new version
Gray Selection : There is an active version in the system, but the object status is given as inactive. The object has to be subsequently edited.
In the Active Version Available column, there are the following display options:
Indicator
Meaning
No Indicator
The object is not available in an active version.
The object is available in an active version. You can decide whether to retain this version or adopt again.
Change the required settings in the following selection list :
Transfer Type
Information
Simulate transfer
A test is made to see if errors are likely to occur during the transfer. The most important objects can be checked in the simulation. However, this does not include all dependent objects Therefore, only use the simulation as an orientation help to be able to recognize errors and remove them.
Transfer
The selected objects are transferred immediately.
Transfer in background
The selected objects are transferred in the background.
Transfer and transport
The selected objects are transferred immediately and then written to a transport request in the connection.
We recommend Transfer in the Background, because transferring a large number of objects and especially changing already active objects can take up a lot of time.
You can find out if errors have occurred during the installation of Business Content from a log, which you can request using the Log pushbutton. Repair the errors in the respective maintenance transaction. Try to transfer the Business Content again.
Hope this Helps.
Thanks

Activate Business content - "In dataflow afterwards" or "Only necessary" ?

Hello experts,
I would like to activate the business content for 0FI_GL_1 infosource. I am not sure which method to follow. Can you please advice?
Method 1
AWB --> Business Content --> From the left most frame Clicked on "Object types"
In the right most (3rd) frame set the grouping to "In dataflow afterwards"
In the second frame expanded the "Info sources" and clicked on "Select objects"
In the popup window, searched for "0FI_GL_1" and clicked on "Transfer Datasource"
And then choose "Install" from the right most frame
It activated lot of unnecessary stuff like Infosets, Multi Provider etc
Method 2
AWB --> Business Content --> From the left most frame Clicked on "Object types"
In the right most (3rd) frame set the grouping to "Only necessary objects"
In the second frame expanded the "Info sources" and clicked on "Select objects"
In the popup window, searched for "0FI_GL_1" and clicked on "Transfer Datasource"
And then choose "Install" from the right most frame
Repeat the above steps for the all (Infocube, ODS, update rule, transfer rule)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Installing the BC is depends upon your requirement.Please see the folowing information regarding BC installment.
In Data Flow Before
If your start point is an InfoCube, all those objects that are in the data flow before the InfoCube, and are therefore necessary for providing data to the InfoCube, are collected. This includes, for example, update rules and InfoSources. So that these objects can be activated, all the corresponding objects required for these objects have to be collected in addition. For activating an InfoSource, InfoObjects may also be necessary which are not contained in the InfoCube and have therefore not yet been collected. However, for these additional objects, the objects that come before them in the data flow are not collected.
In Data Flow Afterwards
For example, if your start point is an InfoCube, all those objects that are in the data flow after the InfoCube, and are therefore reporting objects that serve to display the data stored in the InfoCube, are collected. This includes, for example, queries and Web templates. So that these objects can be activated, all the corresponding objects required for these objects have to be collected in addition. For activating a role, additional workbooks that are based on other InfoCubes may also be necessary. However, for these additional objects, the objects that come after them in the data flow are not collected. These additional workbooks cannot be used for reporting unless they are transferred from the Business Content by some other means.

In Data Flow Before and Afterwards
For example, when using an InfoCube, the objects necessary for activating the InfoCube are collected together with other objects that are required for activating those objects collected as well. This includes objects positioned both before and after the InfoCube in the data flow.
With the InfoCube, all incoming data streams and the evaluation string are activated. Both are then completed with data streams, enabling a complete evaluation in the workbooks.
Collection Mode
Collect Automatically (default setting): The data is collected directly when the objects are selected.
Start Manual Collection: The data is collected only when you click on the Gather Dependent Objects icon.
Set the collection mode to Start Manual Collection. You can then select all objects without having to wait.
Thanks

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.

Unable to 'set the default source system' to Install Business Content

Hi,
Maars here. This is my first post hoping that in future ones I'll also be lending a helping hand.
I am trying to 'Install Business Content' under the BUSINESS CONTENT section in txn RSA1. I am doing this after 'Transfer Data Sources' in R/3 and I can now see all the data sources (under the application component hierarchy) for the source system. But I am not able to see the Info Objects in the Business Content.
When I try to set R/3 as the default source system (got this screen after clicking a icon in the standard tool bar), BW is not saving the settings ie., I set the R/3 as the default and then click on OK. If I go back to the same screen again, I find that my settings were NOT saved.
Could you please help me out?
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems to be a bug in version 3.5.
Do like this:
After you open the screen to choose the dafault source system
Clcik on 3rd button(F6) available in the bottom of the scrreen.
And then select teh tick mark for required system.
And then click on Continue button
You have do this step before you drop the cube to right side of the cube.
Ok, even after all these steps , if you reopen the screen you would not see Tick mark u have done just before. DONOT WORRY ABT it.
Drag and drop required cube with dat flow before.
Now you can see the Transfer rules with selected Source system only in the collected Objects.
With rgds,

How to activate the Info object catalog in Business content

Hi,
While trying to activate the Info object catalog, I found that some of the info objects under this catalog was earlier activated by some other developer. I brought this catalog (0SALES_CHA01) over to the Business content activation panel ( with only 'necessary object settings ) and all the info objects that also came along were de-selected since I didn't want to install those again). When I tried to install these I get an error indicating that some of the info object in question are not already active.. and ultimately the catalog doesnt get activated , although more than half of its infoobjects are already active under the '0CHANOTASSIGNED' node.
Please let me know whether I can get only the Catalog activated without getting any existing activated info object merged or installing those which are not already activated.
Thanks

Hello Arunava,
Just drag the infoobject catalog as u did earlier to the left in the bus cont installation screen with "only necessary object" option.
Dont try to deselect any object. Go ahead with the default options and install in background.
Now you can check for the available objects in the catalog. if you have some objects missing, and available in unassigned node,double click on the newly installed infoobject catalog, select the required objects (which are not yet assigned to this) from the left side and bring them to the right side.
this will make the unassigned objects assigned to the required catalog.
Hope it helps..

SRM Business Content

Hi All,
I would like to know the infosource of 0SR_C01 procurement overview(aggregated) cube. while on help.sap it shows 0SR_MC01 as a multiprovider for 0SR_C01. But could not find the infosource for the same.
I would also like to know if anyone has the list of content infocubes and their infosources for SRM. Please share it with me.
Thank in Advance

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:
