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

Source System Assignment while Installing Business Content

Hi,
I have a new R/3 source system in BW (one R/3 system already exists). When I'm installing business content for say an Infosource and before, even with a succesful install , the new source system assignment is not taking place in the infosource and neither are the packages (for the new source system) being installed. The datasource (for the new source system) remains unassigned.
Please Advice
Thanks

Hi Shurobhi
with your new R/3 source system are you able to see the datasources - using right clik on source system & then select datasources overview. IF not then you need to check if the source system connection is done with metadata repository replication or not. If that is also done then ensure that you have installed all business content datasources using RSA5 in your R/3 system.
On BW side, while installing transfer rules and infopackages, make sure that this new R/3 source system is checked on in source system Box - X icon on business content screen. Then only you would be able to see transfer rules and infopackages & install them.
Hope this helps

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...

Issue installing business content

Has anyone out there come across the following error message while trying to install business content:
Object 2LIS_11_VAITM (InfoSource) could not be collected for object ()
Message no. RSO296
Diagnosis
You have collected objects in the BW Metadata Repository. Associated objects for the object of type have also been collected. Object 2LIS_11_VAITM of type InfoSource was among these objects. This object
2LIS_11_VAITM of type InfoSource, is not, however, available in the Metadata Repository.
System response
Object 2LIS_11_VAITM of type InfoSource is ignored in further collections. The links for object of type are incomplete. This may result in not being able to activate this object.
Procedure
If this error occurs while you are installing Business Content, a delivery error may have occurred. Inform SAP. In all other cases, check, for example, that the object has not been deleted by another user during the collection.
I am assuming somethign went wrong during the installation of the box, but just wondering if anybody has any ideas on this.
Thanks.
Dan

Have you activate and replicated the datasource 2LIS_11_VAITM before activating the business content?

Unable to 'set the default source system' to Install Business Content

Hi,
Maars here. This is my first post hoping that in future ones I'll also be lending a helping hand.
I am trying to 'Install Business Content' under the BUSINESS CONTENT section in txn RSA1. I am doing this after 'Transfer Data Sources' in R/3 and I can now see all the data sources (under the application component hierarchy) for the source system. But I am not able to see the Info Objects in the Business Content.
When I try to set R/3 as the default source system (got this screen after clicking a icon in the standard tool bar), BW is not saving the settings ie., I set the R/3 as the default and then click on OK. If I go back to the same screen again, I find that my settings were NOT saved.
Could you please help me out?
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems to be a bug in version 3.5.
Do like this:
After you open the screen to choose the dafault source system
Clcik on 3rd button(F6) available in the bottom of the scrreen.
And then select teh tick mark for required system.
And then click on Continue button
You have do this step before you drop the cube to right side of the cube.
Ok, even after all these steps , if you reopen the screen you would not see Tick mark u have done just before. DONOT WORRY ABT it.
Drag and drop required cube with dat flow before.
Now you can see the Transfer rules with selected Source system only in the collected Objects.
With rgds,

How to solve the problem. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Jaswantha

Hi Jaswantha,
Installing Business Content Cube would usually require "Grouping" as "Select In Data Flow Before".
This is as per my observations so far according to SAP Best Practices.
Pls. try this and get back.

Hi Srinivas,
To install and activate the business content, you can do that using RSA1 and then going to the business content tab. select the required objects and drag and drop them to the right side window. Then click on the Activate and install button to install the business content.
You can make use of the grouping option available, to install the required objects together.
Hope this helps...let me know if you need any further info on this.

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
thanks

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.

Error when Installing Business Content BW 3.5

Hello Everyone,
When I "Drag n Drop" the infocube 0PS_C021, it shows following errors :
Object 0EMPLOYEE_EDUCATION (InfoSource,ISTD) could not be collected for object PA-PA-IO (Application,APCO)
Message no. RSO296
Diagnosis
You have collected objects in the BW Metadata Repository. Associated objects for the object PA-PA-IO of type Application,APCO have also been collected. Object 0EMPLOYEE_EDUCATION of type InfoSource,ISTD was among these objects. This object 0EMPLOYEE_EDUCATION of type InfoSource,ISTD, is not, however, available in the Metadata Repository.
Object '0EMPLOYEE_EDUCATION' (ISTD) of type 'InfoSource' is not available in version 'D'
Message no. RSO252
Diagnosis
You wanted to generate an object with the name '0EMPLOYEE_EDUCATION' (in transport request ISTD) of type 'InfoSource' (TLOGO). This is, however, not available in the BW Repository database. It does not exist in the requested version D. If the version is 'D' then it is possible that an error arose during the delivery or installation. If the version is 'A' then the Object was either not created or not activated.
Please help me to solve these problems.

hi chintamanim,
thanks for the response.
i verified the objects included on the BI content objects window and noticed that the object 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT "active version" is not available and i tried finding 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT_BA and cannot find it.
does this have an effect on the error i got from activating and receiving the error upon activation?
The object R3TR ISTS 0CUST_CLASS_TEXT_BA does not exist
I did follow a document for Building Block Configuration Guide:
B03: General Settings for BI Integration
and the step is included here:
Activating Business Content: InfoObject Catalogs:
1. On the Data Warehousing Workbench: Business Content screen:
a. At the top of the right hand frame, choose Grouping and select In Data Flow Before.
b. At the top of the right hand frame, choose Collection mode and select collect automatically.
c. In the left hand frame, select Object Types.
d. In the middle frame, expand InfoObject Catalog and make a double-click on Select Objects.
2. In the Selection of Query Objects dialog box.
a. Select the following InfoObject catalog:
0CHANOTASSIGNED
b. Choose Transfer Selections.
c. If a dialog box Remote Activation in the Source System <> occurs, choose OK and log on to the source system on the following screen.
d. If a dialog box appears Exceeded runtime when collecting objects choose Continue.
3. At the top of the right frame, choose Install and select Install in Background.
4. In the Install Business Content in the Background dialog box choose Yes.
5. In the Information dialog box choose Continue.
6. Choose Exit.
please advise on how to continue.

Error Installing Business Content InfoObject 0GN_VENDOR

Hi,
I installed 0GN_VENDOR from Business Content. It was not active after installing.
When I try to activate 0GN_VENDOR I receive the following error messages:
Attribute 0DBCTRYCOD from characteristic 0GN_VENDOR not (actively) available
Attribute 0DBGUDUNS from characteristic 0GN_VENDOR not (actively) available
I looked in Business Content and found that the the two attributes do not exist in Business Content. So I am unable to install to correct the 0GN_VENDOR issue. I also do not find any related OSS Notes on the Attributes.
What should I do to fix this? Just remove the offending Attributes and activate 0GN_VENDOR?

Hi Kenneth,
Check for the inactive info objects 0DBCTRYCOD and 0DBGUDUNS and try to install these IOs too along with the 0GN_VENDOR.
If you are not able to find them in Business content then it might the problem with the BI content version installed in your system.

i am getting an error while installing business content for sales and distribution.
i.e-The creation of the export DataSource failed,
The metadata for a DataSource must be created while the export InfoSouce is being generated. An error occurred at that time.
could any body help.

Hi
The DS should be Activated at R/3 to Install the Business Content on BI side.
Recheck the same with the following
R/3
RSA5--Activate the Data Source -- (RSA6 -- Transport the Data Source -- required if you want to replicate on BI Side)
BI Side
Business Content -- Install the same with required grouping conditions (Only necessary objects would be best option)

That catalog is not active in Modelling. I checked Unassigned nodes also, the object is not present there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Manu,
I checked in Unassigned nodes, its not there. And there is no relevant Info object catalog present in Modelling.
Can you guide me what exactly to do.
