Steps in BI Content Objects Install & Activation

Hi
We are planning to activate new Business Content Objects (Info objects, Cubes, DSO, Datasources...etc) in our BI 7.0 System
Our BI System already got objects that are customized and in use.
What are the pre activation steps I need to perform to see the impacted objects before activation?
Ex:Lets say 0PROFIT_CETER is an Object that is available in the new BI Content activation objects
But 0PROFIT_CETER is already activated and customized (z attributes) in our systems so if I activate & install it again its going to overwrite everything
So how can we avoid these kind of things
Thanks

Hi Maxicosi,
As you are planning to activate new business content objects in BI system,
1) the first step would be to identify all the objects those are customized and those probably have chances to get overwritten during the business content installation
2) Installing business content is a very careful task if already an active version of objects are available in the system especially those which are customized, plus identify the objects that are required by the business only those can be installed if needed
3) Tcode: RSORBCT , Under grouping you might have to select "Only Necessary Objects" if you know all the objects that you would want to install, else you have to take it step by step, first select " In Data Flow Before" and select the "Info Area" that you would wan to install
4) Keep the Collection mode "Collect Automatically"
5) Make sure the source system assignment is been maintained
6) Once all the objects are populated you might have to drill down to each and every last level to make sure what you are about to install
7) you would find some existing objects which would show a green signal that they have already been installed so you would have to also select "Match (X) or Copy"
8) After finishing the selection its recommended to simulate the installation you would find the option under "Install"
9) Simulation would provide all the detail log of what objects are existing and about to be changed and predict any errors so that you can make sure you do the necessary changes
10) Then once you are sure that every thing is been verified you can install the Business Content in Background and monitor the job.
Hope this information would be helpful.

Installing BI Content objects for SRM

Hi Experts,
I am new to this group and i need your help for installing Business Content Objects for SRM based data flow.
We are working for a BW - SRM upgrade project and as per our requirements we need to build 11 - BI standard reports based on Shopping Cart, Shopping Cart Approvar & Central contracts. We have identified the relevant data sources (0BBP_TD_SC_1, 0BBP_TD_SC_APPR_1 , 0BBP_TD_CONTR_2) info providers/ characteristics & keyfigures from help.sap.com respective with query details.
We have checked in BW system and do not found any objects under SRM info area (infoobjects/info providers). As a first step we have activated the above said data sources in SRM system through RSA5 and ensured the data avaialbility through extractor check in RSA3.
We have replicated the Meta data and got the data soruce in inactive version. We are planning to install the business content for info objects, info providers, query elements..
We need your suggestions on how to proceed further and what are the checks need to be done before installing the objects.
Can any one provide an step by step document for installing the business content objects from scratch.
Regards,
Saravanan.M

Hi,
Tty to install objects in below sequence.
1. Application component
2. Info area
3. Catalogs
4. Info objects - Chars and Key figs.
5. DSO/CUBEs
6. Transformations, info pack and DTPs.
7. Bex Reports
While isntalling obejcts from BI content, use grouping option as - only necessary objects , do the simulation and later install in background.
If any obejcts already in active then use Match copy option there itself.
From google you may find them,
Use google search key as "Business Content in SAP BI".
Thanks

Error while activating the business content object

Hi guru,
We have installed a new BI system, and hence we need to activate all the business content object as they are available in delivery version.
So as there was an requirement i tryed to activate the business content object ,that is 0mat (MATNR) material number,
but once done with the installation when i try to find the object and display it
that is i select the object 0mat , context menu and say display or change it does not show the complete screen as it appears for a characterstic and gives a error
"_settings for material number conversion not found"_*
so please help me out what is the problem
Thanks

Thanks Subash Balakrishnan for replying,
but let me inform you that i already did that as i need to install this object and now the object is showing with green instead of grey,
Now my problem is that after selecting grouping and collection when i go to infoobject menu under modelling and find out the object 0mat, it shows in green , but as i need to observe the properties of this object like data type , length etc , i select the object 0mat and right click and select display,
then instead of showing me the object properties screen it gives me the error as mentioned above,
so as you say it has to be in active versoin , but i can not view the normal screen which appears after creating any object ,
now i hope my problem is quiet explanatory so please help me.
Thanks

How to Install Business Content Objects

Hi,
1. How to Install Business Content Objects.
2. Is there any types in Transport Request.
Thanks,
Madhu

Hi,
1. In the main menu of BI Modeling choose Data Warehousing Workbench: BI Content (Transaction RSOR). If you are already in the Data Warehousing Workbench, select the BI Content functional area by clicking on the corresponding pushbutton in the left-hand navigation window, or by choosing Goto ® Install BI Content.
You can display or hide the left navigation window of the Data Warehousing Workbench with Navigation Window On/ Off.
2. Collect the objects you want to activate and check your settings for activating BI Content with respect to Install, Match or Copy and Active Version Available.
More information: Collecting Objects
3. With Install, define how you want to install the BI Content:
Installation Type
Information
Simulate Installation
The system runs a test to see whether any errors are likely to occur during the installation. However, not all errors that may occur can be identified during simulation: Some error messages can only be generated when a real A version (not just a simulation) is available in the system. You should, therefore, only use the simulation function as a rough guide to help you identify and remove basic errors.
Install
The selected objects are installed immediately.
Install in Background
The selected objects are installed in the background.
Install and Transport
The selected objects are installed immediately and then written to a transport request.
If you have a large number of objects, SAP recommends you use the Install in Background option because installing a large number of objects can take a long time. Modifying objects that are already active can take an especially long time to complete.
Make sure that when you install objects in the background, the versions are not matched. It is always the delivery version that is installed. They are not matched

Installing the Business Content Objects from R/3 in to BW

From R/3 system with RSA5 (Installation DataSource from Business Content), I have selected 0PF_FUND_ATTR (Pension Fund in Personnel Management) and clicked the 'Transfer DataSource' and it was successful. Then I have logged on to BW and 'Replicated the DataSource' for Pension Fund Master data and I could see my new DataSource '0PF_FUND_ATTR' after the replication under R/3 Client Source System. I went to the list of Info Objects (AWB -->Business Content --> Object Types --> Info Objects --> Selection --> Input help for Metadata) and I didn't find my new 0PF_FUND_ATTR in the list. If I find it then could click the 'Transfer Selections' button at the bottom and I could 'INSTALL' it afterwards.
Why I am not able to see '0PF_FUND_ATTR' in the list of InfoObjects and what was the problem. Could you please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi Venkat,

Unintall all activated content objects

Dear experts,
My client wants from me deletion of activated business content objects which have been activated by mistake.
There are huge amount of unnecessary infoobjects, updaterules, datasources ...
So i need to delete all 0* objects. Is there a way to do it with massly since dependent objects prevent me to do it via rsd1 or using RSDG_IOBJ_DELETE program.
Thanks
Alkan

Hi All,
The thing is, there are many dependent objects so im not able to delete them massly from RSD1. (for instance i'm not able to delete 0material as it is an attribute of 0APO_PROD and 0APO_PROD is an attribute of other objects...)
Yes i want to delete all 0* objects since i have used custom objects in my data model.
I have found out RSDG_IOBJ_DELETE_VERSION FM which deletes A and M versions without checking dependent objects. But im not sure if there can occur an inconsistency after deletion of all 0* objects with that FM.
Any idea?
Thanks for responses.
Alkan

Error in activating BI content objects first in P

Hello,
We make an error and activate the BI Content objects as Infoarea, SAP components and application components, InfoObjects first in productiv system without begining with the project in DEV or QA.
Now we find the error, would it be a big problem for us, or how we can just activate the object in development system or QA system, implement the project and transport the new objects at the end without problem. Has sbdy an experiences in such a problem.
Thank!

You can transport everything with overwrite and i think wont have any problem....dont forget to transport every object...

Business Content Objects on BI side for the business content data sources

Hi All,
We are doing a fresh implementation, and would like to know the step by step way through which i can know the relevant business content objects on BW side for a BC data sources ,,,,,
0material_attr
and 0mat_sales_Attrt
As Per my understanding, once installed the BC data sources, the data would be feed to the master data info object 0material
But the question is how do i know the complete Business content object on BW / BI side, and use the same building the entire flow.
I have a hint that we can know it through the help.sap.com, and it would be highly appreciated and awarded for your expertises guidence, i have tried sercing in it, but dont know the correct trick.
Even for the other business content data sources.
Example, the relevant infoobject or the DSO or the Cube,transformation, dtp,etc..
Thanks
Daljeet sing Nagi

Hi Vineeth,
Do you mean this way in the meta data repository, it will propose the flow for the business content object, and if yes, then even if they are in delivery version and not in active version, still it shall propose the flow for the business content objects,
And to cut short my requirement, as specified we are doing the fresh implementation,
and i have identified that we would require first to load the material master data, and based on our present requirement, the data source which i have identified are
0material_attr (for the table mara in ECC system)
0mat_sales_attr (for the table mvke in ECC system)
all the fields data would be loaded to which master data info object,
will it be 0material or ????
Thanks for your support and surly as promised

Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Missing BI Content Objects

Hello,
I have a question concerning the activation of objects of BI Content (Release 703, Level12). When searching for a 3.x datasource (for example 0PM_OM_OPA_3) in the value help the datasource I want to activate is missing in our development BI system. In the productive system the BI content has the datasource as a possibility to activate. I activated and replicated the datasource in the system. Is there a technical step I have to activate for BI Content or maybe for meta data repository. Any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks a lot!
Aline

The BI Content Standard dont...but the objects you activated...yes you can reactivate the same object...you have a very strange problem....when you select in Datasources 3.X in BI content you dont see this datasource.....i think is a Basis problem.....i have exactly the same BI Content level than you and i can see it in my system....
Sometimes in new installations theres som BI Content problems like this....
