Business Content Activation

Posted by on



We have seen how to create and configure Targets, Transformation, DataSource..

The beauty of using SAP is the availability of business contents..

What is Business Content?

From years of experience, SAP have created Pre configured  Solutions to meet most of the reporting scenarios..

Goto help.sap.com to see all the available queries , cubes, DSO, Transformations....

follow this link

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw74/helpdata/en/c8/28ba0f00c34f299da32bd91d286fc0/frameset.htm

You will get 3 options..

  • Finance
  • logistics 
  • HR
Expand to see reporting scenarios..



Name of datasource, cube, Multiprovider, Query are given with data flow...

Identify your cube and activate this in BI..

In our case lets take Cube 0FIAR_C30 and query 0FIAR_M30_Q0003

lets look what is the definition for 0FIAR_M30_Q0003..



now lets see how to activate all this objects in BI system..

Goto Modelling screen RSA1













In grouping tab we have 4 options...


Only necessary Objects : Collects only the necessary objects needed for activation
Data Flow before : Collects all the objects under the Current object. In our case, Our object is Cube.. all the underlying objects like Datasource, Transformations, All infoobjects needed for this will be activated
Data Flow Afterwards : Collects all the objects coming above, our case... Multi providers, Queries....
Dataflow Before and Afterwards : All the objects above and below will be collected...



In Install tab we have 4 options..
Simulate Installation : To check for possible errors while activation.
Install : Installation of the selected objects in foreground
Install In Background :  Installation in Background
Installation And Transport : Install and Transport Object to next System ( Production, Quality)

Select grouping as Data flow before and after... and click on install




Now we can see all the objects Before and after are grouped under our cube ...

Green Light indicates that it is activated and ready to use..



Our multiprovider,cube and query needed is activated and ready to use...
so we don't want to create any of the objects for this requirement... pull data using infopackage and dtp.... and report using our query...

      Hi..
      The procedure mentioned above is activation of objects in BW system...

      RSA5 is activation of ECC data sources..
