How Build a SAP NetWeaver BW 7 Business Inteligence Competence Center

Dears,
According to you, what are the skills needed to build a 'Standard' Business Inteligence competence center using SAP NetWeaver BW 7 ?
What developping people must know to face off major business and user requests ?
Best regards
Didier

Hi,
It's really organization specific.
But here's what you would want.
You will need a Team/Project Manager to take care of budgeting, sourcing & staffing plus day to day running of the team.
Next in line is a solution architect who will own your BW solution with overall technical responsibility.  Ideally you have a basis resource who specializes in BW related basis activities. This makes a tremendous difference in your system performance if he knows his stuff.  Then you have the consultants. Depending upon how big your system is, you can have consultants specialized in each module areas such as SCM, Financials etc. Or you can have people taking care of backend vs frontend. I have seen teams with both these structures and they work fine in each individual cases. In addition to consultant you have business process experts for each module area, especially in the beginning of the project. At the end, you have some tasks outsourced to take advantage of the cost advantage. these tasks include loading, process chains monitoring etc.

  • How to access SAP netweaver development Studio and PDK?

    Hi All,
      I have access to EP server on my machine with super admin role .Is there any way I can acess SAP netweaver Developer Studio and PDK through EP server or I have to install in my local machine?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jasmine.

    You'd want to install the NWDS application locally no matter what (unless everyone has a thin client/citrix connection via dumb terminal). You can however, opt to install a local instance of EP or use a central instance. Here's how I see the two approaches:
    1-install the NWDS on developers' machines and deploy to a development instance of EP
    <b>PROS:</b>
    i-developers can develop locally and only connect to the EP server for deploying/testing
    ii-share development (although not very efficiently) and test each others' iViews etc.
    iii-demo your work online to business users directly
    iv-connect to the corporate SAP R/3 and other ERP systems
    <b>CONS:</b>
    i-you can only use this while connected to the network
    ii-could be slow over a slow/remote network connection
    iii-developers may not be able to do everything on the portal server (may not have super admin access)
    2-install the NWDS on the developers' PC along with a test EP environment
    <b>PROS:</b>
    i-develop and deploy locally, without a network connection, anywhere and anytime, fast and efficient
    ii-enjoy full access (super admin) to the Portal - to be able to test pretty much everything
    <b>CONS:</b>
    i-may not be able to connect to the company SAP R/3 and other ERP systems, unless you're connected to the network and have configured the connections
    ii-not able to get others to test or demo your development without having to port them to a central EP instance
    I think a developer needs every resource they can get, therefore I suggest a combination of the above two scenarios, an instance of EP locally and a central instance of EP for the best of both worlds

  • How to install: SAP NetWeaver Developer Cockpit

    Having downloaded the .rar file it would be great to have some instructions for installing the cockpit!
    Message was edited by: Kathleen Meyers (made it a question)

    Hi Donna,
    There is a better way to do this. When you have a new question, open up a new thread yourself. Then you can specify whether the thread is a question or just an announcement (like the original thread to which you posted your question).
    I branched this topic at your question, so that you can award points if you'd like.

  • SAP Netweaver gateway in solution manager

    Hi ,
    We have a solution manager 7.1(netweaver 7.02) and ECC IDES EHP 6 system for which we need to configure Netweaver gateway. We have installed netweaver gateway 2.0 components in solution manager system. Now is it possible to configure gateway on solution manager system instead of building a separate netweaver system for configuring gateway.
    Wondering if we can make solman as gateway system for accessing ECC IDES. Please give your suggestion and steps to perform.

    Hi Suraj,
    Hope you are doing good.
    Nice to hear from you again. It looks like P4 connection is affected:
    1)
    Review note 1158626 and adjust the P4 port configuration accordingly. You will need to check whether the P4 port is available. Note 1925352 will help you to check this (you can use the sapcontrol command or others mentioned to check whether host: 172.16.35.110 and port: 50004 is available or not).
    2)
    Make sure that there are no invalid profile files. Kindly move the profile files that are old to some other location.
    3)
    Also, please verify that you don't have any non-deterministic names in the etc/hosts file, per SAP note:
    1134222 - Cannot access AS Java via P4 connection
    Hope this helps.
    Kind Regards,

  • Installation of SAP NetWeaver on Windows 2003 Server ( 32 Bit )

    Hello Gurus,
    I am planning installation of SAP Net Weaver - SR2 on Windows Server 2003 ( 32 Bit ) and oracle 10g is my database.
    can anybody guide me from where I can install the software coz in the market place SAP N/W-SR3 is available.
    Is SAP N/W - SR3 is recommeded for Windows 2003 Server ( 32 Bit ).
    Can any body guide me the process & my qurey.
    Thanks & Regards
    Shishir

    Read SAp note Note 1108852 - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 / Business Suite 2005 SR3: Windows
    it says:
    21/MAY/08
    SAP system installation only supported on 64-bit operating systems, except for  dialog instances
    As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 and Business Suite 2005 SR3, SAP only supports to install dialog instances on 32-bit operating systems. All remaining SAP system instances (central instance, database instance, central services instance (SCS), ABAP central services instance (ASCS)) must be installed on 64-bit operating systems. Therefore the folder "SAP Systems" is not available on the "Welcome screen", when you start the installation from a installation master DVD for 32-bit.
    You might need to install dialog instances on 32-bit if you want to use 32-bit SAP NetWeaver components, such as Adobe document services. We recommend, however, to first check whether these 32-bit components can run on 64-bit operating systems. If so, we recommend to also use 64-bit systems for these components, including the dialog instance.
    If you want to install a non-productive SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 based system (test systems or development are normally productive systems)  on 32-bit, proceed as follows:
          1. Install a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR2 (SAP ERP 2005 SR2, SAP CRM 5.0 SR2 SAP SCM 5.0 SR2, SAP SRM 5.0 SR2) system.
          2. Patch this system to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 (SAP ERP 6.0, SAP CRM 5.0 SR3, SAP SCM 5.0 SR3, SAP SRM 5.0 SR3).

    HI,
    I've downloaded the file:
    SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.rar
    of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - Java and ABAP Trial Version on Linux - VMware Edition
    four times and everytime a get a CRC error in the RAR file. Is the file wrong or the download incorrect?
    Regards, Edwin Slee

    Hi Henry.
    I’ve downloaded the file again. Now it is called:
    SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
    But it is a RAR file.
    As you suggested I open the file with WINRAR 3.61 and select
    Tools -> repair archive
    In the directory a file:is created with the name:
    rebuilt.SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
    The WINRAR message box reads:
    Detecting archive type...
    ---> RAR

    When I open this file with WINRAR again a try to extract
    SLES10SP1_Test_drive(2)-s003.vmdk I still get a CRC error, the archive file is corrupted.
    I think the error isn’t due to the download, because I’ve downloaded the file using three different internet connections (8 times now) and all the files are identical, with a CRC error !
