Business Content Settings

Hi Experts,
                  I have a question, I want to make sure before I install business content objects. My intention is not to install objects which are already using in the system. I dont want to overwrite.
                  In the business content do I need to uncheck intall for that particular object and also same for Match(X) or copy. Is there any other settings do I need to do it.
                 Please assisst me..
Thanks
Ganesh Reddy.

Hi,
In your case do not cleck for match , Just directly install the with out match.
incase if you check match
Example of an automatic match
An 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( becasue it over writes the existing one)

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,

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.

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
Arunava

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..

Query modification problem after Business Content upgrade

Hi,
We have upgraded two systems from Business Content 3.1 to BC3.3. After the upgrade we have a problem when opening queries for modification: a dialogue window is opened and system says:
"AUTOMATIC CORRECTION
The following objects were not found when accessing server
Press 'Repair' to correct the problem (incorrect parts of the query are automatically deleted)
Press 'Cancel' to undo the last action
Missing objects:
- InfoObjects
| |- InfoObject 0HIER_VERS
- Affected Items
 |- Hierarchy version"
Strange thing is that the problem cannot be reproduced on consultants' laptops, only on clients' PC-s, so we believe there must be something about Windows/Excel security that produces the error message.
Have you ever experienced this (kind of) problem before? Do you have any idea what I should check?
I checked
 - Macro security settings in MS Excel,
 - logged on to the PC's as Administrator
 - logged on to BW with clients'/consultants' user ID's on clients'/consultants' PC's, problem appeared only on client PC-s
 - SAP GUI version (it is the same)
 - MS Excel, MS Windows version (the same)
I have also checked InfoObject 0HIER_VERS, it really does not exist in the system. But it does not exist in our Production system either, while the query is completely the same in both systems.
0HIER_VERS is a "technical attribute" (as I read in an SAP documentation - however, I don't really understand this term), it is attached to 0CS_GROUP (Consolidation group).
Thanks,
Csaba

Hi,
Before checking that did u acvtivate and update all the datasources at the source system level.
Thanks

InfoPackages Missing in Project Systems Business Content

Hi all,
Just installed PS business content in a BW 3.5 system. Cubes, ODS's, etc are all OK. But should there be InfoPackages supplied?
Thanks!
Gerry.

Gerry
Welcome To SDN
Usually we will create our own info Packages based on our requirements like what cubes or ODS it should load also it is Delta/init/full. All these settings could be done in our info Packages based on our requirements.

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

Regarding error occur in business content activation

Hai experts,
when i am activating the business content its going to dump analysis the system is going to give me the error like " message_type_x" using st22 i found that error occured in abap program .It is an predefined program.Is there any solution for that one other wise i have raise this question to service.sap.com.i need emergency.
bye.

Hi ,
You have to underastand whether this is happening with all the objects , I mean are you getting this dump for any object you are trying to activate through bi content.
If this is happening with few objects then you have see whether the method of activation bi content is being performed in the correct method.
If thisis happening with all the objects then check all the basic settings and at the same time check authorisations.
Check if you have any thing in SU53 transactions.

Adding Business Content to Transports

Somebody at work has installed some BC without including it in a transport.
Is there any way of finding out exactly what was installed so that I can retrospectively include it in a transport?
I know that the bloke followed a specific building block but obviously in those you select the cube and do a 'in data flow before and afterwards', so it doesn't tell me exactly what was installed.
I wonder... could I just re-install the building block with a transport?

Hi Stuart,
In the Transport Connect (RSA1) you can use settings similar to the business content installation, i.e. Before and Afterwards to collect the related objects. As you mention that this is new content, the objects you need to transport should all be $TMP objects.
Hope this helps...

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:
a.     Local Settings è SAP CRM: all activities have to be completed.
b.     Local Settings è SAP BW: all activities have to be completed.
c.     Cross Connectivity è Connecting SAP BW with SAP R/3, SAP CRM, SAP SRM: Connect your CRM System.

a.     In section General Settings in CRM all activities have to be completed.
b.     In section General Settings in SAP BW all activities have to be completed.
Hope it will helps you........

Problem in installation of Business Content for Solution Manager

Hi all,
I have a problem while trying to install the Business Content for Solution Manager. In detail, I cannot install/ see the Process chains. I am not much familiar with Business content installation, so maybe I missed and /or some step.
Following the instructions from SAP IMG (SPRO/ SAP IMG / Solution Manager / Configuration / Scenario-specific settings / Solution monitoring / BI Reporting / BI Client) , I activated the Datasource 0SM_SMG_ROOT , performed all the steps and installed all the relevant Business Objects (Infoobjects, Datasources, Infocubes, Infopackages, etc.). All the objects seen from transaction RSA1 seem correctly installed and activated.
The last step is the installation/activation of the Process chains. This step is executed, but the installation job terminates with messages like Infopackage 0SM_XXXX does not exist in D version; activation not possible. It seems like Process chains are looking for some Infopackage, and these are not present. They are not present indeed, and I dont know why. The result is that no Process chain is visible from transaction RSPC.
Am I missing some step, or doing a wrong/ incomplete procedure ?
Thanks a lot

HI Saravanan,
For Solman Service Desk, the following objects are used :
Cube : 0CSRV_C01
DSO : 0CRM_PROH
DataSource : 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H
And apart from this there are some MD datasources, for BPARTNER, USER STATUS, CATEGORY etc.

Difference between Business content of 2004 and 2004s

Hi all,
I was looking at the Business Content delivered with BI 2004 (BW 3.5)and BI 2004s (BW 7) for Payroll at the below links. It seemed they are almost the same.
Can anyone tell me if there is any major difference between the two (specifically for Payroll) in terms of objects delivered with the business content, data flow, data model, cube design etc.
BW 3.5:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/86/3a1d3c55a0f503e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/86/3a1d3c55a0f503e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Also, are there any different settings/procedures etc to be followed for installing/activating BW 7 business content as compared to BW 3.5?
Will surely assign points for helpful answers!
Thanks in advance.
Pradyut.

Business Content Display Problem in SAP BW 3.5

Hi BW Gurus,
We are facing some tricky problem in BW 3.5
Details are below.
PI_BASIS     2004_1_640     0006     SAPKIPYI66
SAP_BW              350                     0009     SAPKW35009
BI_CONT              353                     0005     SAPKIBIFP5
in RSA1 Trcode am not able to see Business Content tab at all,but when i click on Transport Connection tab then i could see Business Content tab but NO objects are displayed in left Frame like InfoProviders by InfoAreas ,InfoObjects by Applicaton Component ,and even when i use the RSORBCT Tcode also the same sort of display.
Has anyone faced this problem earlier and solved if YES pls help in this regard as it is very urgent for me.
Regards,
BRB

#1. Check your SAP GUI version.
#2. I recently had what MIGHT be a similar problem. In using BEx WAD, my screen did not correctly display some of the components. The cause was a file that held status information on my screen properties, a file that had become corrupted. To solve the problem, all I had to do was log off all SAP components, then delete all files in the directory c:\documents and settings\[userid]\Local Settings\Temp.
Worked for me. If it works for you, email me an ice-cream cone!
Good Luck,
Doug

Different Problems during Business Content Installation in BI 7.0

HI GURUs,
          I'm working on BI 7.0. Here I'm trying to do business content installation and facing the following problems.
Question 1:
          Let's say when I'm trying to install 0MATERIAL infoobject
Scenario 1:
( with Necessary Objects as Grouping), the job is finishing succesfully, but when I look for 0MATERIAL in Infoobjects of Modelling it is found in Unassigned characteristics Node where as it should have been in 0MMIC_CHA01 Catalog & secondly it's not in Active state. When I tried to manually activate it I'm getting the error stated in Fig 1b of attachment.
When I tried for Object Maintanance of 0MATERIAL in Business Content Screen i'm getting the same error (Fig 1a & 1b).
Scenario 2:
(_with Dataflow before and afterwards as Grouping_). In this scenario i'm getting the issue shown in fig 2. I would like to understand why this issue is popping up, specially the source system issue.
Note: The Figures are found in the file attached with this link.........
           [Bi Content INstallation Error Doc|http://rapidshare.com/files/269891244/BI_Content_Installation_Errors.doc.html]
Question 2:
         Why are many of the infoobjects like 0Customer, 0Material etc getting assigned to Unassigned Characteristics instead of getting assigned to their respective Characteristic catalogs.
Note: It would be much more helpful if the solution is provided with reference to SAP Note, though alternate solution is always welcome.
       Hoping for a early optimistic solution.
Regards,
Syed Shujaath Ali.

Hi,

Error Installing 0MATERIAL from Business Content

Hi,
I am trying to install the infoObject 0MATERIAL from the business content. After the installation without any error, when I am trying to access the object I get the error: Settings for material number conversion not found
Could you please help me on this?
Many thanks
Antonino

Hi Antonino,
I had even worst problem: I couldn't open 0Material for maintenance. I made a search in a net and found the following:
Load from4.5 failing because of invalid trailing char in Material
In short I made the following:
Executed a report RSCC_V_TMCNV.
After that I was able to change conversion routine in 0material to ALPHA.
That's all.
Best regards,
Eugene

Error installing Business Content: InfoObject Catalogs

hi all,
just new in this community and hope you can help with my encountered problem regarding Installation in BI content.
I'm trying to activate:
InfoObject Catalog (technical name) : 0CHANOTASSIGNED
InfoObject Catalog(description) : Unassigned characteristics
upon installation here is the job log that i got:
Message text | Message class | Message no. | Message type

hi chintamanim,
thanks for the response.
i verified the objects included on the BI content objects window and noticed that the object 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT "active version" is not available and i tried finding 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT_BA and cannot find it.
does this have an effect on the error i got from activating and receiving the error upon activation?
The object R3TR ISTS 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT_BA does not exist
I did follow a document for Building Block Configuration Guide:
B03: General Settings for BI Integration
and the step is included here:
Activating Business Content: InfoObject Catalogs:
1. On the Data Warehousing Workbench: Business Content screen:
a. At the top of the right hand frame, choose Grouping and select In Data Flow Before.
b. At the top of the right hand frame, choose Collection mode and select collect automatically.
c. In the left hand frame, select Object Types.
d. In the middle frame, expand InfoObject Catalog and make a double-click on Select Objects.
2. In the Selection of Query Objects dialog box.
a. Select the following InfoObject catalog:
0CHANOTASSIGNED
b. Choose Transfer Selections.
c. If a dialog box Remote Activation in the Source System <> occurs, choose OK and log on to the source system on the following screen.
d. If a dialog box appears Exceeded runtime when collecting objects choose Continue.
3. At the top of the right frame, choose Install and select Install in Background.
4. In the Install Business Content in the Background dialog box choose Yes.
5. In the Information dialog box choose Continue.
6. Choose Exit.
please advise on how to continue.
