EHP2 implementation on BI7

Hello all,
We are going to upgrade our BI 7 system to BI 7.02 i.e EHP2. Can you please let me know what steps need to be taken to avoid any issues with the current processes, objects, data flows , extractions etc. What are the preupgrade and post upgrade steps from BW perspective and what kind of testing needs to be done. Also , we are still on BW 3.5 for the front end. EP is 7.0. So do we need to migrate the queries and web templates in portal i.e does going for 7.02 support the queries in 3.5 version. Please let me know your valuable suggestions and thoughts.
Thank you!

Hi,
In your case, before the upgrade.
Please, Check SAP note 1461962.
It will answer some of your questions.
Hope it helps.
Best regards.

    Hi,
    Our is BI7 with support pack 22. Now interested to install EHP1 on our system and i heard no additional licence fees required for installation of EHP1/EHP2.   Is EHP2 is available for customers? If yes, is it mandatory first install EHP1 and then EHP2?
    Is updation of EHP1 or EHP2 requires, how much system down time?
    Pls share link/path in SMP for installation of EHP1/EHP2.

  • BCS module implementation

    hi friends,
    recently one of our clients implemented SAP BI7.0.  now want to implement SEM components (bcs,cpm,bps).
    Can BCS module be implemented individually or is it anyway dependent on BPS module?
    thanks,
    raju

    Thanks for ur responses.
    Client now wants to implement only bcs & cpm modules and because they are doing planning ad-hocly, they want bps module be implemented later onwards. I didn't understand correlation exactly between BCS & BPS as i'm from non-financial background and I designed many BPS planning applications and CPM applications.

  • Bi-7 bi content problem

    hai Friends,
                    i have given business content activation task for fiar module,presently i am working on new implementation of bi7,but when activating business content in bi7 without any migration, i got 3.x flow for all my objects(cubes,ods,update rule).how can i change the 3.x flow to bi-7 flow(transformation,dtp etc) .please help me to solve this problem.do i need to delete all the activated 3.x objects or directly can i migrate to new flow replacing old flow.
    Regards
    Sri

    Migrating Datasource will just give you Datasource in 7.0..
    For dataflow you need to do right click on Transfer/Update rules and then in additional functions  say create transformations..
    Systme will propose some rules, if possible else you need to map/ write routines on your own..So it involves some manual work..
    Alos this has been discussed in many forums..try searching..
    Hope it helps

  • OIC_C03   dataflow...

    Hi gurus,
    Iam implementing in BI7.
    Im confused with the dataflow of 0IC_C03. As far as my reading goes, previously  they used 2lis_03_BF and 278 datasources which is now to be replaced by
    2lis_03_BF and 2lis_03_BX. Thats fine..
    But is there  BI7 dataflow already delivered for this infocube?? I got this doubt because when i  installed the cube with dataflow before i got some transformations installed. Is it that SAP delivered 7x dataflow to this infocube from
    7x datasources and (7x infosources. even).
    The following got installed
    Transformation for 2lis_03_BX  ---> OIC_C03 infocube
    Transformation for 2lis_03_BF ---> OIC_C03 infocube
    Transformation for 2lis_03_UM  ---> OIC_C03 infocube
    Update rules for 2lis_40_S278  ---> OIC_C03 infocube
    The above infsources (2lis_03_BX,2lis_03_BF,2lis_03_UM)  seems to be 7x infosources  and  2lis_40_S278  is the only 3.x infosource.
    Actually my expectation is that we will get transfer rules and update rules installed.that is i expected the a 3.x dataflow will be installed which i have to change into transformation(manually writting routines using ABAP OO).But
    to my surprise i could see the transformations installed.. Does these transformation contains mappings for all the keyfigures/charecterstics?? Or is there any coding that we have to do??
    Can i take this  7x dataflow  ( 7x infosource -> transformations-> infocube)  OR
    should i install the 3x flow and then migrate it... ( i mean create transformations manually )
    i wanted to confirm if my understanding that SAP has itself given the 7x dataflow(transformations) for filling this infocube.we are using Service pack 6 for BI content.

    Search the How-to documents in SDN, there'S a How-to on Inventory management.  You can ignore and delete everything related to 2lis_40.  The 2lis_03... datasources are the ones you want, this is content that existed also in 3.x, it is not 7.0 original content.  Really read that How-to before you start anything.

  • BW Upgrade : BI Statistic

    Hi ,
    We have just upgraded from BW3,.5 to BI7.3.
    One of the difference which i am aware of if the BI Statistic.
    In BW3.5 , Statistic was under 'InfoProvider-Technical Content-BW Statistics.'
    In BI7.3 , The above had been moved to 'InfoProvider-Business Information Warehouse-BI Statistics'.
    Additionally  in BI7.3, there's lots of new cubes and multiprovider introduced under tech content --> 'InfoProvider-Technical Content-0TCT*'.
    And there are new process chains for this which starts with prefix '0TCT_*' example 0TCT_MD_CACH_FULL_P01 which is running in the upgraded system now.
    My question is,
    1. We have existing process chains in BW 3.5 which updates cube 0BWTC_C02 and 0BWTC_C03 and query had been built on it. Upon upgrade, do we need to stop these process chains from running ?
    2.Does the new BI7x Tech Content BI statistic takes over the previous BI statistic cubes and we now need to refer to the new Process chain and reports?
    Appreciate feedback from anyone who knows this.
    Thanks.
    Regards
    Maili

    Hi,
    Normally there are new statics features implemented in BI7 but it doesn't mean old stat things are deleted.They are still used they way they used before.
    You can do BI admin cockpit activation.Refer to following thread
    http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1422674
    You can also do selective implementation in BI7 which is not present in BW3.5 through new BI Cont.
    Thanks and regards

  • Remote Process Chains Source Systems mapping issues

    Hi,
    We have a process chain in APO system, which upon success calls another process chain in BW.   We recently implemented SCM5/BI7, and taking the advantage of remote chains functionality to call the BW chain from APO.
    However, when we transported the APO process chain from DEV to QA, the source systems in the remote chain are still pointing to DEV systems.   We were expecting to see both APO and BW source systems getting switched from DEV to QA.
    We have already verified the logical mappings for Sources Systems are in place under RSA1 | Transport Connect | Conversion.   Also,  the source systems seem to map correctly for other objects like data sources etc..   Only issue is with the remote chain.
    Is there any other setting which need to be set to make it work.   Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ravi Chitluru.

    Ravi,
    I have a similar situation. Can you explain how to run process chains in APO which can gets data from BW cubes, which in turn gets data from R/3.
    In this equation R/3->BW->APO, what are the options like 1)run process chains in BW system to pull data from R/3 into BW and run process chains to load BW data into APO 2)run remote process chains to pull data from R/3 into APO(of course via BW).

  • Implementation of BW3.5 or BI7.0

    Hi Guys..
    Our company is going to implement BW. Now our management got stuck that weither we go for Implement BW3.5 or go for BW(BI) 7.0.
    As, we got the response from some of the company that BI7.0 is not stable much, there is not much support from SAP & even in the market there are not people expertise much in BI 7.0.
    Please advise me, that weather we should go for implement BW3.5 or BI7.0. Which one proves to be more stable,cost efficient & got support from all sense.
    Your early feedback will be highly appreciable.
    Thanks
    Santosh Khare

    Dear Rocky,
    I dont agree with ur comments that BI 7 is not stable as we have already implemented BI7 at Our Place and it is working fine without any troubles. There are so many new features available which are not there in BW.
    Even if u implement BW then later on u havge to go for the upgradation so if u implement BI 7now itself. it will be better.
    Even Sap also supporting fully as its their baby.

    >> I read some posts before that the correct term should be SAP Netweaver 2004s; Whereas the SAP BW3.5 is referred to SAP Netweaver 2004. I hope I am not mistaken.

  • How to handle password changes if we implement singlesignon between BO& BI7

    Hi,
    As we know ,we can implement single signon between BO and SAP BI 7, by importing roles and users through CMC and by selecting the option "Use Single signon during report refresh time".
    My doubt here is, When we import roles from SAP and Auto import the users, is it only the SAP usernames that are stored in BO repository or both username and password. If  second case holds true then how to handle/manage password change for a user who is already imported in BO sometime back?
    Would the password changes be reflected automatically in BO?
    Please guide me if you think that I'm thinking in a wrong direction.

    Hi Naresh,
    password changes are reflected automatically in BO. BO just forwards the data to the SAP side and it does the real authentification.
    Regards,
    Stratos
    PS: Keep in mind that you cannot change the SAP password on the BO login screen if your SAP password has expired. You have to do this with the SAP client (SAP GUI)

    Upgrade from BW 3.5 to BW 7.0 (BI 7.0)
    Hi,
    Some features of BI 7 are
    1. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
    2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
    3. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
    4. The monitoring has been imprvoed with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal !
    5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
    6. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yess, you can always revert to the old transactions too.
