Installing BI Content objects for SRM

[Former Member]

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.

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

Hi Raman,

Sorry for my late response and thank you very much for your valuable reply.

We have started to install the necessary catalogs and info objects, info providers one by one.

We need a clarification on installing the BEX reports. While installing the BI standard reports if we are grouping in the mode of "Data flow Before" will it bring all the info providers as well? or what is the best way needs to follow when installing the BI standard querys.

We need to install 16 standard BI querys, Could you please suggest on this.?

Hi,

if your whole data flow was installed upto cube then just you can install bex query(assumed as query built on cube) only with only necessary objects.

Even if your data flow not yet activated then start activating data flow objects one by one.

If you go with data flow before, you may get lot issues and inconsistencies and time consume to solve the issue.

if you go with one by one activating data flow like info objects/catalogs/data source/dso/cube/transformations/infopack/dtp and final bex reports.its easy to solve any issues.

Thanks

Hi Raman,

Thanks for your reply. We are trying to BI content dso 0SRCT_DS1 and we are getting the below error while activating the dso "InfoObject 0LOC_CURRCY has to be contained in DS (required by InfoObject 0OUTAGTARGT)". We have checked the objects 0loc_currcy & 0OUTAGTARGT and found its in active version only .

Also we have again installed both the objects and try to install the dso but getting the same error.

Can u suggest on this?
