Please help on Business content

Question

Hi Gurus,
I have read so many answers and papers giving the steps how to transfer,replicate and extract business content, that is all fine and very helpful.  I apologise for very long topic, but I think answers to this would help loads of learners like and everyone would be grateful to you(all).
But not found a details such as for e.g. for cube 0FIAP_C03
Question: Does this business content has InfoObjects,ODS, InfoCube and BEx queries are already defined in BW?  Do we need to activate them and start reporting on the queries?
R/3 Side:
1. Transfer Data sources 0FI_AP_3(Vendors: Line Items) and 0FI_AP_4(Vendors: Line Items with Delta) from R/3 from RSA5.  Does this mean that the Data sources are created/activated in R/3?
BW Side:
2. AWB --> Source Systems --> Select Source System ---> Right click ---> Replicate Data Sources.   When I click on + sign next to the DS, this shows already assigned infosource.  When I click on - sign next to the DS, this asks an infosource to be assigned.  What does the +/- sign means there? What does the 'TICK MARK' means there?
3. AWB ---> Business Content ---> Install --> Do we get a chance here to activate InfoObjects, Transfer Rules,Update rules, Infocube and BEx query?  Once we install here, then only the cube 0FIAP_C03 is going to appear in InfoProvider and then for BEx query designer?
4. AWB -
> Info Sources -
> My Application Component ---> Assign InfoSource (We already did that in Step2, what does this mean here?) -> Assign Data Source->  Create InfoPackage -
> Schedule.  One (0FI_AP_3) DataSource is for line Items and another for Line Items Delta (0FI_AP_4).  Do we need to schedule both at the same time? Is the DS 0FI_AP_3 not for Init Delta?  Is the DS 0FI_AP_4 not for Delta?
Please can you send me any documents of this detail to [email protected]. 
I appreciate all your patience to read and answer my questions here. Is there any training or personal attention available in the UK? 
Thanks again.
Chitra.

HI,
Question: Does this business content has InfoObjects,ODS, InfoCube and BEx queries are already defined in BW? Do we need to activate them and start reporting on the queries?
Answer:Business content has infoobject, ods, infocube, queries in "D" version.
SAP delivers the BI Content objects in a new D Version.
Before you can work with BI Content objects, you have to convert them from the SAP delivery version (D version) into the active version (A version).
R/3 Side:
1. Transfer Data sources 0FI_AP_3(Vendors: Line Items) and 0FI_AP_4(Vendors: Line Items with Delta) from R/3 from RSA5. Does this mean that the Data sources are created/activated in R/3?:
Like BI business content. predefined objects in R/3 (datasources ) are maintained in RSA5 and Activated datasources are available in RSA6
BW Side:
2. AWB --> Source Systems --> Select Source System ---> Right click ---> Replicate Data Sources. When I click on + sign next to the DS, this shows already assigned infosource. When I click on - sign next to the DS, this asks an infosource to be assigned. What does the +/- sign means there? What does the 'TICK MARK' means there?
3. AWB ---> Business Content ---> Install --> Do we get a chance here to activate InfoObjects, Transfer Rules,Update rules, Infocube and BEx query? Once we install here, then only the cube 0FIAP_C03 is going to appear in InfoProvider and then for BEx query designer?
Ans: Once install it it will be available in Active version accroding to the component it has been assigned(SD or CRM). otherwise it will be in Unassigned Node.
