Installation of Business content and activation

Hello,
Our Source system is ECC 6.0 and
BW :NW2004 S and SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 .
We are able to create source system conection successfully . after installing the business content and replication, all the data souces in BW are still in Version D only. Do i need to select each DS individually to activate ? or am i missing any steps ?
Any help is highly appreciated ?
Regards

Hi,
I was also passed this latest information from my colleagues in Product Management.
The method I explained is the old method for activating DataSources and extractors. It is still valid in SAP NetWeaver 2004s but there is a new, and easier, methid to do this now.
Also if you have followed my instructions, there is an additional change in the replication process and a decision you must make:
"Once the customer has activated the DataSource via rsa5 in source system, then he/she needs to replicate this datasource to BI. During the replication, he/she is asked via pop-up whether he would like to replicate these datasources as 3.X DataSource or 7.0.x DataSource.
If he decides to replicate these datasources as 7.0.x DataSources, then the A version of this datasource will be seen in table RSDS, instead of the original table RSOLTPSOURCE.
So if the customer checked table RSOLTPSOURCE, then he/she only see the D version.
This could be the reason that customer still only see D version after the datasource replication."
The new method is:
"- If you have a 3.X datasource, during the source system connection, the D
version of DataSource is already replicated into BI.
- With transaction RSOR in BI, you need to select the related transfer rule, and via transfer rule you are able to collect the 3.X DataSource.
- Then you need to push 'install' button to activate this datasource.
- After activation, the A version of DataSource will be available in BI and in Source system.
- If you have a 7.0.x DataSource, the steps are the same like 3.X datasource. But via transaction RSOR you are able to directly select this datasource (object type RSDS).
So with BI capabilities of NetWeaver2004s technology, it's no longer nessary to run rsa5 in the source system to activate the datasource."
I hope this helps,
Mike.

How do i redo the changes occured due to installation of business content

I have installed some business content and this has effected about 80 existing Infoobjects and brought them to 'revised' version. This might have also effected other objects like transfer rules, update rules...... But now I want to retain the IObjects to previously 'active' version. Implying i want to do away with my action. I even donot remember what i have tried to instal...may be a datasource or something else. I have chosen the option 'before and after data flow', this i remember. We are presently using NW2004s. How and where do identify what i have tried to install and how do reverse my action.

Dear Raj,
Sorry to know this.. I do not think we can reverse the activation here.. (let us wait for other replies..)
Meanwhile,
You may want to check with basis for the backup of Yesterday so that they can retrieve the data.. It has to be a fast action as if they decided to restore from backup version.. may be you will not loose todays development work..
are the objects get transported?
try collecting again in the same maner and try to prepare in the excel sheet for the objects.. may be the previous LOG also can guide you some starting point..to help u .. ( not very sure..)
I see little painful work for tomorrow..
all the best!
regards,
Hari

BUSINESS CONTENT AND LO EXTRACTION

Hi ,
Please tell me
1) what is the main difference between BI content and LO extraction.
2) What happens when we install business content and what happens when we do LO extraction.why are we doing this extraction.?
3) Which process must be done first.
and LO is for logistics extraction i.e. SD,MM etc.(please correct if i am wrong)
4) what about extraction with respect to finance is there anything like LO extraction for finance also?
please explain in simple english.
regards
lap.

well,
I think you don't have to care too much about what did the R/3 consultant; of course what they have configured will be reflected in BW. The configuration impacts on how the data is populated and if your business objects are populated in R/3. It may or may not fit with the business requirement and sometimes it gets complicated to represent the data in BW.
But that's why we have the business content.
So you activate BC objects you need to report on in BW. LO datasources and extractors will be part of this activation. Then you connect both systems and extract this data. You'll have to check with your business req if your extraction reflects the R3 data as wanted by definition.
I a fresh server, you will then just customize and implement all the workbench necessary (IObjs, Cubes, ODS, transformations....). if your system is empty then you won't data to check! But you'll move your developpment to a BW QA or PROD sys which will be connected to a client in R3 having data (otherwise your SD consultants wouldn't be able to test either...)
Replication: when a DataSource has been changed in the source system (R3), the BW receiving structure has to be adjusted. this is done via the replication procedure.
The source system keeps a timestamp of when the DataSource has been reactivated the last time. BW has also this timestamp in its DataSource. When you change your DS in R3, the timestamp will be updated. If you request now data in BW from this DS, the system will complain because both DS (in BW and in R3) have different timestamps. That's why you have to replicate prior loading.
The replication may inactivate follow up objects like extract structure, transfer structure and TRules.
hope that helps...

Changes In Business Content and Extractors after r/3 upgrade

Hi All,
We are in the process of upgrading from R/3 4.0b to ECC 6.0.
with the BW system bein upgraded to BI 7.0
Question.
What changes would occur for the business content and extractors after the R/3 upgrade.
Thanks in advace.
Regards,
Nikhil.S

Hi Nikhil
The datasources remain same, U can migrate them in BI side from 3.5 to 7.0 using RSDS -tcode.
All extractors remains same, Well it again depends on the service packs u r using.
Now the latest for BI is service pack 17 and for Business content patch is Patch 10.
U can find new datasources like 0FI_GL_14 and 0FI_GL_40 and many other queries.
In BI side
1.If you have update rules you will have to create transformations and there is no shortcut here ..if there are routines you will have to write them as well and change the syntax as some of the old syntax of 3.x is no more valid in BI 7.
2.Data loading concept changes as you can bypass the Infosource(but in few places you will need it actually like when you are directly loading from datasource to target and you want to read master data).
3.DTPs will be required..changes in the Process chains for the same.
4.Datasources need migration(first emulate them and test whether the Bi 7 loaidng is working or not otherwise if you migrate you will loose your transfer rule.
Reward if helped

BI 7 Authorizations: Business Content and usage of which Objects?

Good day
I am busy with the BI 7 Analysis Authorizations concept. I have gone through SDN as well as other sites and obtained numerous guidelines for applying these authorizations. I will not be utilising the migration tool as I will be creating the new analysis authorisations from scratch.
I have replicated the datasources in the myself system.
In ALL documentation it is stated that business content must be activated for objects u20180TCAu2019 and u20180TCTu2019, which I have a problem with.
I do not have a problem with the related InfoObjects and activation.
What I have seen from the metadata repository is:
InfoCubes
u20180TCA_HIEu2019, u20180TCA_UAu2019 and u20180TCA_VALu2019 (These are all cubes without datasources, transfer rules, TRF or DTP etc)
DSOu2019s
u20180TCA_DS01u2019 to *DS05u2019u2026. (These are all templates without datasources, transfer rules, TRF or DTP etc)
Also DSOu2019s u2018ZTA_DS01u2019 and u2018ZTA_DS02u2019, not part of the 0TCA* and 0TCT* selection. Are these two necessary?
My question(s) are:
1)     What I want to know is how many DSOu2019s and Infocubes must be activated to ensure complete installation?
2)     Why do the Cubes and template DSOu2019s (0TCA* and 0TCT*,) not display any datasources, TRF, transfer rules or DTPu2019s at all?
3)     Why are DSOu2019s u2018ZTA_DS01u2019 and u2018ZTA_DS01u2019 involved if no-one has ever mentioned them?
Please assist. I am very confused at this stage!
Thanks in advance

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.

Business Content Upgrade Activation Procedure

Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for a procedure or best practices document that will help me with the steps I need to follow when activating business content due to an upgrade when some of the objects have already been activated and are being used in PRoduction. As an example, we upgraded our BW system to 3.5 but didn't activate any of the Business Content so everything continued to run just fine. Now we activated a new InfoArea that overlapped some of the objects that were already active. A good example is 0REGION. The DataSource in R/3 changed to use a different table for the view so new fields are now available which are actually the same as the fields that were already there but with different names. So the transfer rules show as modified/inactive. I transferred the new structure from R/3, replicated in BW, and changed the transfer rules to use the new fields. Is this the procedure that needs to be followed for any object that was put on the tranport? I've also noticed that many InfoObjects are on the transport but the only change I can see is that the content version changed so if the InfoObject didn't really have any changes, why the version change?
As I mentioned, this is the first time we've activated new content after an upgrade and I'm totally in the dark as to what the procedure should be to follow to get everything cleaned up and up to date.
When you are activating a new area, do you pick and choose which objects you want to activate/match or do you generally just activate the entire InfoCube or InfoArea?
Thanks for any insight,
Diane Merrill

Hi Diane,
I think you should go with infosource or may be with application component. Collect everything of that area and let the system check the already active objects so that it is not just activating the new content but enhancing already active objects with the new content features. But take care, this option is only available when you start this activation in foreground. In background there is only a overwrite mode available which might lead to a loss of developments.

Hi
Please activate all your required data sources in the source system..then replicate them in bw..Then try again...
It's an option only...may works some times...

Business Content and Data Sources automatic binding

Hi,
I am not clear about the Data Sources and Business Content sync.
If I transfer the datasources in SBIW(RSA5) and replicate in BW, how it will automatically bind to the infosources and data targets when we activate the relevant infoobjects in BW Business content. As part of Business content activation, will it search for datasources and bind to it automatically? What steps are needed in order to make the everything hooked up correctly?
Can anyone clarify to me how it works? Please explain step-by-step.
Thanks.

Is there any addiotional things we need to do at info source level after activating the content? Selecting the correct data source etc.
If there is a enhancement to the extraction structure then what all steps manually we need to do at info source level? When we replicate the data source which has been enhanced, will it create the infoobjects automatically so that they can be used in infosource communication structure?
As I am new to the system, I am running in to all these questions.
Appreciate any help in step by step how things will work.
Thanks.

Installation of Business content objects

HI all
Can any one please tell me How to install Business content objects in to our Infoarea.
Thanks
S.S.

Hi Surya,
hopefully you connected you R/3-System to your BW, go to "Business Content" by transaction "RSA1" and select your BC in the shown trees. The selected BCs can be dragged-and-dropped from left to right. Switching "Simulate Installation" under the button "Install" is a good idea, more important is the option "Only necessary objects" under "Grouping" - in all other cases you would get a lot of InfoObjects, -providers and so on you never need and which would fill your system with superfluously garbage.
After a successful installation you can use all the new Objects
That's all

Installing Business Content and Merge - Overwrites InfoSource - Very Urgent

Hi Gurus,
I was installing Business Content for a Cube with the grouping Data flow before using Merge/Copy option in DEV.
The cube got activated and all the objects associated with it. What I didn't realize was that the InfoSource used for the DSO of the cube was also used by a custom DSO which has already been deployed in QA.
So the transfer rules were only partially maintained and the content InfoSource merged with the active one. The DataSource for the custom DSO is from QA (a different R/3 from DEV R/3). The issue is that the custom DSO in QA is now linked to the installed (new) InfoSource belonging to the DataSource of the DEV R/3.
Please kindly guide on:
1. How to change the InfoSource for the custom DSO from the currently installed one to the original one? Can I deactivate the update rules and create new InfoSource and transfer rules for the custom DSO and transport it again to QA?
2. What are the implications this might have on the newly installed DSO & Cube?
All answers will be suitably rewarded.
Thanks,
Swetha

Hi Swetha,
I am not too sure, if i understood ur problem correctly but,
If your BI QAS system is still good.. that means ur custom DSO is still linked to old version of Infosource in BI QAS.
The talk to ur BASIS guys and ask them to transport the Insource/Transfer Structure from BI QAS system to BI Dev system.
This can be done by creating a transport in BI QAS system, the type of transport should be Transport of Copies.
and also before importing this Trasnport from BI QAS in BI Dev System maintain an entry in BI Dev system RSA1>Tools>Conversion of Logical System names and put an entry as Source = ur BI QAS Logical System Name and target as ur BI Dev Logical System name.
Cheers

0QM_DS01 Installation in Business Content

hi,
When I am trying to install 0QM_DS01, using Business content it is disabling at Installation mark and its not available in the DSO list ....Again trying to reinstall , it is taking 4-5 hours and not installing .. May I know the reason for this?
I tried 3-4 times...for installing but canot be installed

Hi,
Goto RSA1 transaction or RSOR
BW Administration ->Administrator Workbench-->Select the Business Content function area using the corresponding pushbutton --> select object types --> next select "Queries" --> search for your queries --> after selecting queries click on "transfer selection" >the queries are moved to the right hand side> here select the collection modes(automatic or manual) -->select grouping based on your requirements
select source systems ,if you do not select by default all the source systems are selected.
--.click on install -->it will prompt for a package(by default $TMP pacakge) change the package and create a transport request.

SAP BW Business Content and R/3 Tables

Good morning
I wonder if you can help me.
I am at a BW-MM implementation.
From where I can get a list of Business Content extractors and tables which is supplied by R / 3.
For example:
0EC_PCA_1 -> GLPCT
I need this information to implement the MM module in BW, but if you have or can help with additional information from other modules I will be grateful.
I await your help and thank you very much!
Javier.-

Hi,
Check the BI content.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/37/5fb13cd0500255e10000000a114084/content.htm
Go to the original page from there by clicking the arrow buttons.
There you can see your functional areas.
For example, to find 0EC_PCA_1, you will go to Financials--> Profit Center Accounting > Datasources> PCA transaction data.
For MM, go to Supply Chain Mgmt --> Supply Chain Performance Management --> Procurement
Here you can find what tables the extractor is based on.
