BW Basis Question on Business Content addon

Hi
I am unable to find the standard ODS 0SD_O06 ( Billing condition)
in my Business content . I believe it comes as part of a separate
add - on . How can we go ahead and install this BI Content addon?
Is it free or do we have to buy the addons ?
Pls guide me , this is urgent .
thanks all

Hi and thanks for the document. This document covers how to install Business Content once it have been installed on the system by Basis. Once Basis installs the new version of Business Content I will not be installing any of it right away.
Can anyone give some detail to the following questions?
1. If they install Business Content 7.06 on BW do they have to do anything on the R3 Side to make sure we have the correct level of extractors? (They just installed EHP4 on the R3 side if that helps any)
2. Once Business Content 7.06 is updated onto BW by Basis do we have to do anything on the BW side from a technical perspective? (I understand how to install Business Content from a BW Developer perspective)
Thanks for help with this!

Questions about Business Content

Hi, experts,
 I'm new in SAP BW.
 As far as i'm concerned, BW provides standard objects ,which is called Business Content. i just know that, and have no deeper understanding about that.
Who can tell me more detailed about it,its advantages,its methods of installing, and ways of ETL.
URL links are also available.
thanx in advance!
best wishes

Hi Lawrence Bian
BI Conts are predefined providers and querys as per the functional area like

Business Content Questions - Urgent

Can you please help me with the following questions...
1. I installed business content for CRM Sales Activities. I was also successful in loading transaction data. There is some master data that also needs to be loaded, but many of the master data datasources are not available when I checked RSA5 in the CRM system. How should I approach this problem?
   2. When installing business content, if "match (X) or copy" is selected and if we select background installation, will the system overwrite the objects or will it leave it in the existing version?
   3. When activating business content reports, I get the error "BEx transport request xx is not suitable or not available". What could this mean?
   4. After development, do I simply gather all the objects and transport them to QA/PRD or do I have to activate business content in QA/PRD systems also?
Thank You.

Hi,
1.The datasources are:
Opportunity - 0CRM_OPPT_H - Opportunities header
0CRM_OPPT_I - Opportunities Items
Activities - 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1 - Activities
Master data -
0CRM_OPPT_CYCLE_TEXT
0CRM_OPPT_PHASE_TEXT
0CRM_OPPT_TYPE_TEXT
Business Partner
0CRM_BPART_ATTR
0CRM_BPART_TEXT
Products
0CRM_PRODSL_ATTR
0CRM_PROD_ATTR
0CRM_PROD_HIER
0CRM_PROD_IDCMP_TEXT
0CRM_PROD_TEXT
0CRM_PROD_TYPE_TEXT
This is not complete list.

Hi i am planning to write 1z0-144 exam in 2 weeks. will the questions based on 11g or 12c documents? should i prepare base on 12 c contents or stick to 11g only. i don't want to answer incorrect answer.

should i prepare base on 12 c contents or stick to 11g only. i don't want to answer incorrect answer. please advise...

Reading your answer i flipped to the exam page at Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL | Oracle Certification Exam ... the key information fields are:
Exam Product Version: Oracle Database 11g
and
Validated Against: This exam has been validated against Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Database 11g Release 2, and Oracle Database 12c Release 1.
The exam product version is the best source to read the documentation against.
In the event of a feature varying between versions ( core language features will typically only upwardly enhance, some compilation/optimization features might on the very rate occasion vary) the question is likely to explictly state 'oracle 11g [release 1|2]'
( To state the obvious for this exam the topic "Use the new PL/SQL compiler initialization parameters" would likely refer to 11g introduced features and would not be present in 10g ).

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.

Data Flow Question in newly Migrated Business Content Install

Hi, I just converted my Purchasing Business Content from 3.5 to 7.x. This Content Loads the InfoCube directly from the Data Source. After my DataFlow Migration I am left with still having an InfoSource.
Here is a picture of my Data Flow
http://i55.tinypic.com/258b7zs.png
I thought I would not have an InfoSource after all of this. Is this correct?
Thanks for any help with this...

Hi, Kenneth,
I beleive it's absolutley correct result after migration.
I had the same thing with infosources when migrating 0sd_c03 and never had issues with that.
Infosurces can be used in 7 data flow as sometimes it's a good thing to have additional transformation between source and target (allow for more flexibility in data transformation)
By the way your infosurce also migrated as its a 7.x infosource now. I beleive it has a different object type compared to old 3.x infosurce. You can actually check the object type in se11, Tadir, select by your infosurce name.

I know this error comes due to lack of resource in the system.
My question here is how do i know what are the resources tat system is using and in which transaction code can i check it.
I have to tell basis guy to fix the issue. To tell him i need to know where the exact prlblem is.
Thanks

Hi
The following is the dump information
Short text
    Unable to fulfil request for 91904 bytes of storage space.
What happened?
    Each transaction requires some main memory sp
    application data. If the operating system can
    space, the transaction is terminated.
What can you do?
    Try to find out (e.g. by targetted data selection) whether the
    transaction will run with less main memory.
    If there is a temporary bottleneck, execute the transaction again.
    If the error persists, ask your system administrator to check the
    following profile parameters:
    o ztta/roll_area            (1.000.000 - 15.000.000)
           Classic roll area per user and internal mode
           usual amount of roll area per user and internal mode
    o ztta/roll_extension       (10.000.000 - 500.000.000)
           Amount of memory per user in extended memory (EM)
    o abap/heap_area_total      (100.000.000 - 1.500.000.000)
           Amount of memory (malloc) for all users of an application
           server. If several background processes are running on
           one server, temporary bottlenecks may occur.
           Of course, the amount of memory (in bytes) must also be
           available on the machine (main memory or file system swap).
           Caution:
           The operating system must be set up so that there is also
           enough memory for each process. Usually, the maximum address
           space is too small.
           Ask your hardware manufacturer or your competence center
           about this.
           In this case, consult your hardware vendor
    abap/heap_area_dia:        (10.000.000 - 1.000.000.000)
           Restriction of memory allocated to the heap with malloc
           for each dialog process.
    Parameters for background processes:
    abap/heap_area_nondia:        (10.000.000 - 1.000.000.000)

Report on PCA: Transaction Data (0PCA_C01) (Business Content)

Hi,
I am using a business content cube 0PCA_C01 and a report (Business Content) Plan/Actual/Variance.
But i need to have info on on Profit CenterCost center and cost element.As the cube is business content,only profit center info is loading now.How can I load Cost center and Cost element data.
My question is
1) From where I can (In which tables) pick the data from to modify the data source
2) As the data source is based on view (ISPCACST),How can I check on which tables this view is developed.
Thanks

depends which datasource you are feeding the data with
If you are using 0EC_PCA_3 then you are doing it via the GLPCA table and a timestamp extarctor
If you are doign it via the 0EC_PCA_1 in FULL load then you are doing it via the totals tabel GLPCT
If you are oding it via the 0EC_PCA_1 in delt amode you are actually doing it from GLPCA line items posted to the delta queue in RSA3 that looks the same as the GLPCT table (ie its aggregated in the delta queue)
In your installation does cost centre = profit centre and does GL account = cost eleemtn
If they do just add these to the cube and map them from the base data so profit centre in cube gets loaded from profit centre and cost centre in cube gets loaded from cost centre
Else - then you are in trouble as you dont have the cost centre information on PCA - thats what CCa is for
An FI document can create a PCA and a CCA document
A CCA document does not have to exist in PCA or FI (secondary cost postings)
The reference doc number in PCA dn CCA can be used to poitn to the original FI document - thats where the link is
If you dont use secondary cost postings - and the profit and cost centres are different why not build a cube of the GL4 datasource? All the data is in there - cost and profit centre

Problem in Installing/ Activating 0SD_C03 Infocube from Business Content

Hello Friends,
I am installing an InfoCube 0SD_C03 from Business Content in our BW Development environmant. I first installed "Only the Necessary Components". This took 3 hrs. AFterwards I picked "Before Option" and it kept running for 14 hrs, without completeing. In the last I stopped it to minimize the performance impact to anybody.
My question is, do you also face any such problem of installation running for hours and hours? How have you handled its resolution.
Finally, I broken my task into various component and I am installing component by component (e.g. Transfer Rule, Update Riles etc. etc.). But while doing so, human errors are possible and I may miss something. Also we would not like the same activation runs for hours in Production.. So there
Could you share some of your rich experience and possible resolution. Thanks for your help.

Friends,
Necessary components took 2-3 hrs. I am running "before option" this weekend and will find out Monday. Running on weekend will not impact anybody.
I am communicating with Basis Team and they are aware of this problem.
In my previous organization, even Before Option will complete in 2 hrs (maximum). I guess there are multiple factors for jobs running so slow. Of course, I am following all rules of the Game!!
Thanks,

Activating Business Content

Expeerts,
I am about to start development in BI 7.0.
1. What should I activate first in Business Content? Should I activate all info objects first ? Or the identified cubes(data targets) and while doing so then collect the relevant info objects as well?
2. For master data objects and for transaction data objects which have SAP ECC datasources, what should be the strategy of collection and activation? Do I activate them in all 3.x format and then migrate them one by one? Or should I migrate them during BI activation itself? If I do the latter, do I end up losing the code in the transfer rules and update rules?
Your inputs are highly appreciiated.
Thanks

Hi Sheweta,
For your first question, I recommend collecting Infocubes along with the objects in the data flow, while installing the business content.
For second one,
Mostly all the business content data flow available in 3.x version only. So do it in 3.x version. There is no need to migrate the data flow to 7.0. In case that is needed, do it on case to case basis.
Hope I have answered your queries.

Reinstall Business Content

Hi, We did a landscape refresh and we copied our BWQ system to our BWD system. This effectively deleted our business content in BWD.
I am prepared to ask our basis team to reinstall the Business Content so that it is available to me for install.
Can anyone tell me about how long it might take basis to install this Business Content and if they need to take the system down for it?

Thanks,

Thanks for the information. I find a day of downtime a lot, but I'll go with it. I have a couple of other questions concerning BI Content. Could you help out?
1. How can the BI Team decide what is available for installation since Basis does the install?
2. Is there a list of available Business Content we can review before we specify what the Basis Team should install? Or should I just say install it all.
3. Will Basis know what level of Business Content can be installed based on our current SP Levels?
Thanks again!

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..

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.
With rgds,

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
