Installing Business Content Use You need to transfer the Business Content objects from the SAP delivery

version (D version) into the active version (A version) in order to be able to work with them. You can find further information under Business Content (Versions). Procedure 1. In the main menu of the SAP Business Information Warehouse select BW Administration ->Administrator Workbench. 2. Select the Business Content function area using the corresponding pushbutton in the left-hand navigation window or by Jump -> Install Business Content

With the pushbutton Navigation Window On/Off on the application toolbar in the Administrator Workbench, you can show or hide the left-hand navigation window. We assume that the navigation window remains hidden in the following section. 3. If you want to assign source systems, select Assignment Source System. The Select Source System as Default dialog window appears. Select one or more source systems by setting the corresponding indicators in the Default Assignment column.

The assignment of source systems is only relevant for transfer rules, file DataSources and InfoPackages. If there is more than one source system, only those objects assigned to the specified source system are collected for the transfer. Objects that have not been assigned to the specified source systems are ignored.

If you do not select a source system, all source systems are automatically assigned. You can subsequently change the selection you made using Source System Assignment. 4. Change the required settings in the following selection list:

Grouping Choose the objects that you want the system to consider. The groupings summarize all the objects of an area. Grouping Only necessary objects (standard setting) Information Only those objects that are really necessary for the action, that is, the transport of the selected objects, are taken into account (minimal selection). All objects are collected that submit data to a collected object. All objects are collected that obtain data from a collected object. All objects are collected that both submit and collect data.

In data flow before In data flow after In data flow before and after

If you change the default setting (only necessary objects), the new setting will be used as a standard for the user. Collection Mode Select how you want to collect the objects:

Collection Mode Automatic collection (standard setting). Start manual collection

Information The data is collected directly when the objects are selected. The data is only collected when you select objects. Collect dependent

5. Select an Object Type you want to transfer. You have various selection options in the navigation window in the Business Content function area of the Administrator Workbench. When you select an object type, the arrangement and selection of the existing objects are displayed in the tree structure of the central screen area as below: Object Type in the Administrator Workbench Navigation Window. Data targets by InfoAreas InfoObjects by application components. InfoSources by application components. Roles Object Types Display objects in the tree structure in the central screen area. List of InfoCubes and ODS objects by InfoAreas. List of objects by InfoObject catalog and by InfoAreas List of InfoSources for master data and transaction data. List of the standard and branch roles. List of objects by type (InfoArea, application, InfoObject catalog, role, workbook, query element, InfoSet query, Crystal Reports template, Web template, Web item, saved query view, MultiProvider,

InfoCube, InfoObject, InfoSet, Classic InfoSet, ODS object, update rules, InfoSource transaction data, transfer rules, source system, InfoPackage group, InfoPackage, process chain, Reporting Agent, report/report interface, currency conversion type Objects in BW Patch List of installed BW patches including list of objects newly delivered or re-delivered with the respective patch. List of packages in which there are SAP objects.

6. Select the object(s) you want to transfer in the central screen area and transfer them into the right-hand Collected Objects screen area by drag and drop.

Using Search for Object, you can also search for objects by a string (for example, 0CUST) or by pattern (for example, 0CUST_*B). You can display a value help for every object type: By double clicking on Select Objects in the tree structure of the corresponding object type, the screen Value Help for Metadata appears. Select the required objects. Choose Transfer selections.

You can only use Business Content DataSources of a source system for transferring data in BW, when you have transferred these in their active forms and then copied them into the BW system.

The system displays the selected object(s) and all dependent objects in the Collected Objects screen area. To reduce the time taken to access the objects when wanting to use them again, the collected objects are stored by default in the Repository Cache.

When transferring the objects to the Collected Objects screen area, the objects are added at the same time to the tree structure of the corresponding object type in the central screen area and are saved for the respective user. This personal object list is available every time the program is restarted. To remove objects from the personal list, select the object in question and choose Remove Object from Display via the context menu or via .

Objects that are listed in several tree structures are only displayed as changeable the first time they appear. Each time they are listed again, they are highlighted in gray and are not ready for input. 7. Check the following columns in the Collected Objects screen area: The following Business Content objects are highlighted in the Transfer column by default:

Objects transferred for the first time Objects delivered again in a new version from Business Content.

When the SAP delivery version and the active version can be compared, a check box is shown in the column Compare (X) or Copy. There is a check mark in this checkbox by default. In this case, your version is compared with the new SAP delivery version and complimented. If you remove the indicator then the new SAP delivery version is copied in its entirety.

Date symbol: The object is already available in an active version. However, the active version belongs to an older Content Release. We recommend that you adopt the new version Gray Selection : There is an active version in the system, but the object status is given as inactive. The object has to be subsequently edited.

In the Active Version Available column, there are the following display options: Indicator No Indicator Meaning The object is not available in an active version. The object is available in an active version. You can decide whether to retain this version or adopt again.

8. Change the required settings in the following selection list Transfer Type Simulate transfer Information

A test is made to see if errors are likely to occur during the transfer. The most important objects can be checked in the simulation. However, this does not include all dependent objects Therefore, only use the simulation as an orientation help to be able to recognize errors and remove them. The selected objects are transferred immediately. The selected objects are transferred in the background.

Transfer Transfer in background

Transfer and transport

The selected objects are transferred immediately and then written to a transport request in the connection.

We recommend Transfer in the Background, because transferring a large number of objects and especially changing already active objects can take up a lot of time. 9. You can find out if errors have occurred during the installation of Business Content from a log, which you can request using the Log pushbutton. Repair the errors in the respective maintenance transaction. Try to transfer the Business Content again.
