How to deliver/bundle/package your own business content

Hi all,
I´m resubmitting this question that hadn´t response more than 1 year ago:
Hi there,
We have developed some custom BI content for an external system (incl. custom extractors, ODS objects, cubes and queries). Is it possible to package this solution somehow so that it is bundled with SAP BI Content as part of it? What are the steps. Is there any other solutions of packing this product?
thanks
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I do not see how your custom developments can be packaged with SAP's Business Content.
However you should be able to take the .CO and .DAT files of your transports and import them in a new system chain and utilize it. I have done this on the R/3 side but not on the BW side. This would need to be experimented with on the BW side to check what needs to be tweaked to make it work.

How do you add (drag) your own artwork

I am having trouble. I used to be able to simply drag the album art (jpg file) into the window on the bottom left. That does not work anymore. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also can you create a Itunes Store account without giving up credit card information?

It's definitely a bug in 7.0 and should be fixed in 7.0.1.
Dragging artwork to the artwork window does not work. in any instance that I have tried, including rebuilding permissions, restarting and other fixes.
When you right click and try and “Clear downloaded Artwork” that doesn’t work either. So you have to get info on the tracks you want to clear, then click to the check box next to the blank album art, then hit ok, only then they will clear.
The only way to add your own artwork is by either getting info individually on each song and adding it in the artwork section, or getting info on multiple tracks and then dragging it to the artwork window in that info box.
7.0 appears to be very buggy, and still a bit of a beta, feels rushed if you ask me.
reminds me of 10.5, very cool new features all over, yet not quite done yet, nothing to big that can't be fixed by spring, but bugs none the less. Code just needs to be cleaned up.
hopefully this code can be cleaned up in a week or two. it's not bad, just a minor annoyance.

Package name in business content

when i am trying to activate a cube in business content,when i click install and transport,i am getting a pop up window asking for a package name
can somebody please give me some info on this,what is a package name,is it just like a folder or anything else

You can go to se80 and open any Package and F1 over the name of the package and you can see the sap Help...
Package
Packages extend the concept of development classes to improve modularization, encapsulation, and decoupling in the SAP System.
Development classes, used until now, are simple containers for development objects, provided with a transport layer that specifies how they were to be transported. As an enhancement to development classes, packages include the following attributes: nesting, interfaces, visibility, and use accesses.
Nesting is the ability of a package to include other packages within the package hierarchy.
Visibility is an attribute of package elements. A development element can be visible from outside the package. (It is always visible inside its own package, though not necessarily all the packages embedded in this package). A development element is visible externally if it is included in at least one package interface.
The use access gives a package the right to use the development elements in the package interface of another package. Note that this right is one-way only.
Package
Definition
Related objects in the ABAP Workbench are grouped together in a package. The assignment of an object to a package is entered in the object directory (TADIR). The package determines the transport layer that defines the transport attributes of an object.
The packages are entered in the table TDEVC. They can be maintained in the following transactions:
Transaction SE80 -> Enter package -> Double-click the package
Transaction SM30 - Table/view name V_TDEVC
The packages are themselves objects of the ABAP Workbench. They belong to their own packages.
In contrast to its predecessor, the development class, a package has the following additional characteristics:
Packages can be nested.
Packages can contain their 'visible development objects' (visible outside of the package) in package interfaces.
Packages can have use access defined for other package interfaces.
Use
When an ABAP Workbench object is created, the system prompts you to assign it to a package. The package should describe the area that the object belongs to.
The representation of the object tree in the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80) uses the package as a navigation aid. If there are more than 100 objects of a certain type (that is, ABAP programs), the object tree can no longer be clearly represented and it becomes increasingly difficult to use the ABAP Workbench. In this case, we recommend creating new packages with the same transport layer and distributing the objects to the new packages on the basis of the areas they belong to.
The following naming conventions for packages determine the packages' functions:
Package begins with A-S or U-X:
These packages are for SAP standard objects. Customer objects cannot be created in them. Changes to objects of these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer (Request management) and can be transported (see field transport layer.
Package begins with Y or Z:
Customer objects can be created in these packages. Changes to objects in these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer (Request management). The objects can be transported to other SAP Systems (see the field transport layer ).
Package begins with T (private test package):
When you create a package of this type, you can specify whether you want changes to be recorded. If so, objects that are edited are recorded in local requests by the Transport Organizer. This package does not belong to a transport layer. Objects can only be transported to other SAP Systems if a transport request is created.
Package begins with $ (local package):
Changes to objects are not recorded by the Transport Organizer. The package does not belong to a transport layer. The objects cannot be transported.
Package begins with a namespace prefix:
If you have reserved a namespace, then you can create packages (and other objects) whose names begin with the namespace prefix.
(Example of a namespace prefix /COMPANY/, example of a corresponding package /COMPANY/DEVCLASS)
Changes to these packages are recorded by the Transport Organizer, and can be transported.

How to change Selection Criteria for a Business Content Data Source

Hi Experts
I am extracting data using 0CO_OM_CCA_9 Datasource. I would like to be able to select a range of Company Code (BUKRS) to pull in, but I cannot find a way to make certain fields available as selection criteria. When I go into "Change DataSource", I can unselect fields, and even select certain fields, but the option for most is grayed out.
How can I make this field available as selection criteria in Infopackage?
Thanks for the help.

Its not that simple to enable a new selection for a Business Content Datasource, if its not already provided by SAP. Enabling new fields for selection should be accompanied by corresponding extractor code changes to process those field selections and use those selections throughout the extraction process.
Solution for your problem would be create a custom extractor with all the logic of standard extractor (function module BWOMD_GET_CTRCSTA1 for 0CO_OM_CCA_9) and extra logic to process the new fields for selection.
Hope it helps!

How to create a copy cube from Business content statistics cube

Dear Experts,
I got a requirement to create the new cubes which is a copy of Business content statistics cubes.
Request you to let me know how can i create a copy cube from Business content cube. My doubt is,weather is't the same as normal customized cube creation by giving copy from option.....
Thanks in advance for your valuable assistance.
Regards,
Ramesh - Kumar.

for copying the cube whose copy is to be made should be available in infoprovider tab in modelling of RSA1.
first you have to install the business content cube ,so that it is found in the Info-providers tab in modelling .
for that,first go to business content option found in the modelling tab of t-code RSA1 .
find the cube and transfer it to the right and execute . It will be available in infoprovider tab of modelling .
then you can create a copy as we do normally .

How to install sources for infobject from business content

Hi,
I have 16 infobjects for which we need to move to prod and there are no connections to it but the infobjects are active and some are i modified state, like no datasources, infosources, transfer rules etc., Can you please tell me the approach to install all the necessary for them. I mean how to find and how to install, please help if any documentation is available.
Thanks

Hi daniel,
Inorder to install the business object, you will be require to follow the following steps :
i)Go to RSA1 (Admistrator Workbench) for installing the Business Content. Navigate to object you want to install. Now you want to install the info object then select Info Object.
ii)Select your Info Object say 0MATL_GROUP (material Group).Click on Transfer selections.
iii)Now when the info object is selected. It will always be in default selection (Only Necessary object), Now if you want to install the various other things like data source, transformation rule etc as you specify in query
iv) For that go to grouping select IN DATAFLOW BEFORE AND AFTERWARDS. One more thing If you want to specify the Source system then u can do it by clicking on that Yellow Box (symbol specify the source system) adjacent to BEx (Truck Symbol). This mainly used for the things like transformation, update rule etc as you want.
v)Now you want to see if there can be some predictive error then go Install --> Simulate Installation.
vi)Now important point to note is MATCH(X) or COPY. Now suppose you already have the Material Group install in your system in Active version. Now here if you didnu2019t select the MATCH check box then your A-version Material Group will be overwritten by the D-version Material group provided by SAP.
vii)For ur more understanding lets take the example say you have added two customer specific attribute to Material Group now twist is SAP has also just release the enhance material Group with two additional attribute. Now you are very curious of getting this two attribute in your already active Material Group. For this you will be required to install the material Group from Business content. If you forget to check the Match option then your customer specific attribute will be lost. So to retain them we have to check the MATCH(X)
Hope it will help.
Thanks,

How to install Plant Mantenance from BW business content ?

I am trying to install Plant Maintenance from BW business content.
After the install action the result are :
1.infocubes comes without update rules,infosources,infopackages,datasources.
2.info objects like 0funct_loc come without hier and datasource.
Please some one know how to solve it.

Avi,
Welcome to our community.
Check the grouping mode in RSA1>>Business Content. You will need to set it to "In data flow before" if it's currently set to "Only necessary objects".
Please make sure you use the Xmatch/ Copy functionality wisely so you won't overwrite any objects currently activated in your system.
Hope it helps,

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

How to upload images to your own Web site?

I recently bought a Creative WebCam NX Pro. Installation was fine, the product works great.
The problem is that I want the cam to upload images to my own web site, www.fogwatch.com. This is basically a weather cam, with images uploading regularly.
The problem is that the Creative software creates a new name for the image file every time it uploads a new image -- 0.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg, etc. The problem is that the HTML code on my Web site is programmed to recognize only one file name for the Web cam image -- image.jpg. With my old Logitech cam, the software would overwrite the old image with the new image with the same file name, and every was fine.
So, with the Creative software, I would have to change the file name in my HTML code every time the cam uploaded a new image?and that's impossible. I don't want to use the default Creative web page that it uploads images to as that doesn't fit in my site design.
Is anyone using a Creative camera to upload images to their own Web site? How are you doing it's

Bcasey,
I spent some time working with Webcam monitor and have found the way to do what you are wanting. You need to set up your FTP settings, arrange for a continuous upload and then go over to the custom web page section. Put a checkmark in "upload custom webpage" and go to the section where it says how many pictures to display. Set this to and then remove the checkmark from "upload custom webpage". The program will now upload a single file called img.jpg updated at the interval you choose.

How to get objects necessary for transporting Business Content?

Hi Experts,
Small ques for u:
I have installed 0FIAA_C11, 0FIAA_C12, 0FIAA_C13 for Asset Accounting in Dev system. Already the previous content 0FIAA_C04 was installed and transported to Quality system.
Now I want to transport new content (0FIAA_C11, 0FIAA_C12, 0FIAA_C13) to Quality. But I guess since already some infoobjects were transported to quality, transport connection wud nt show me all necesary objects.
<b>So how to get a list of all objects necessary</b> so that my req does nt fail while moving to production from quality.(I think req might not fail while goin from Dev ->quality).
Thanks in advance!!
Sorabh

Hi Srini,
I have already applied "Before setting". But the problem is I dont want to transport objects which are not relevant to me, but only those which are necessary for content described in previous mail.
If we check the link provide by you " 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.
" I am worried by about these.Some objects will be missing and some are in addition which are not all required, and we shud nt transport them.How to be sure tht transport will not fail and it is consistent as well?
Thanks for replying!!

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
