Settings in SBIW

Question

I want to find out whats the actual usage of the settings below
1) Determine Industry sector
2) Transaction key maintenance for SAP BW.
is this a general global setting or an application specific setting ?
When is this setting performed and what influence it has on BW extractions ?

Answer 1

Please refer Note: 353042.
Symptom
Fields BWGEO, BWGEOO, BWGVP, BWGVO, BWNETWR, BWMNG, etc. of DataSources
2LIS_02_SCL, 2LIS_02_ITM, 2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM, 2LIS_40_REVAL are not
filled.
This may lead to the following:
The system does not perform any update into an InfoCube (for example:
0RT_C*, 0PUR_C01, 0CP_PURC1 and so on), even though data arrives in BW.
This occurs with the following InfoSources:
2LIS_02_SCL, 2LIS_02_ITM
2LIS_03_BF, 2LIS_03_UM
2LIS_40_REVAL
With some restriction, this symptom also occurs with the following
InfoSources if they are used in connection with retail or consumer
products. (InfoCube: 0RT_* or 0CP_* ).
2LIS_11_VAITM, 2LIS_12_VCITM, 2LIS_13_VDITM
More Terms
0PROCESSKEY, PROCESSKEY, 0RT_C01, 0RT_C02, 0RT_C03, 0RT_C04, BWBRTWR,
BWGEO, BWGEOO, BWGVP, BWGVO, BWNETWR, BWMNG
Cause and Prerequisites
The process key (0PROCESSKEY and 0BWAPPLNM) of the InfoSources has not been
filled. As a result, no key figures are updated because of the update
routine of the participating InfoCube and along with it no records are
inserted into the InfoCube. In each update routine, the system checks the
content of the PROCESSKEY. If this field has no contents, then no data is
written into the InfoCube because of the IF condition in the update rules.
Solution
So that you can work in the above mentioned InfoSources, you MUST activate
the determination of the process key. This is done with the help of
Transaction MCB_ which you can find in the OLTP IMG for BW (Transaction
SBIW) in your attached R/3 source system.
Here you can choose your industry sector. 'Standard' and 'Consumer
products' are for R/3 standard customers, whereas 'Retail' is intended for
customers with R/3 Retail only.
You can display the characteristics of the process key (R/3 field BWVORG,
BW field 0PROCESSKEY) by using Transaction MCB0.
If you have already set up historical data (for example for testing
purposes) by using the setup transactions (Statistical Setup Programs) (for
example: Purchasing: Tx OLI3BW, material movements: OLI1BW) into the
provided setup tables (for example: MC02M_0SCLSETUP, MC03BF0SETUP), you
unfortunately have to delete this data (Tx LBWG). After you have chosen the
industry sector by using MCB_, perform the setup again, so that the system
fills a valid transaction key for each data record generated. Then load
this data into your connected BW by using 'Full update' or 'Initialization
of the delta process'. Check, whether the system updates data into the
involved InfoCubes now.
If all this is not successful, please see Note 315880, and set the
application indicator 'BW' to active using Transaction 'BF11'.
