SRM BI Content Installation

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have to install the BI standard objects (cubes, DSO, queries etc) for SRM module (7.0).

It would be great to have a step by step procedure explaining how to install all the SRM BI Content objects.

Can anybody help me suggesting a link?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Elisa:

Please refer to the presentation by Jie Deng, "Presenting SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence Content"

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a017bf61-d61c-2a10-958e-ab18f4e92...

Observe that is mandatory to install objects from the bottom up, so it is safer to activate small groups of objects, this way it is also easier to determine the causes of errors and make the appropriate corrections. Basically you need to install the objects in the sequence shown on slide 14.

- Extractor

- InfoObject

- InfoSource

- Transfer Rules (or Transformation Rules for Dataflows available in version 7.0).

- Update Rules (or Transformation Rules for Dataflows available in version 7.0).

- ODS

- Update Rules (or Transformation Rules for Dataflows available in version 7.0).

- InfoCubes

- MultiProviders

- etc, etc..

Also pay special attention to the Section 3 "Activation of SAP BW Business Content" (slides 85 - 107).

There's another presentation by Jie Deng that provides related information.

"Session ID: IM204 Guidelines for Implementing SAP NetWeaver BI Business Content in a Customer System"

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20ea3d3b-d61c-2a10-7b95-e6508f184...

Recently I had to implement SAP Note 1339523 - "Various delivery errors in BI_CONT 7 03 and 7 04" while working on an SRM-BW project, check if this note is applicable to your system.

The SAP Notes below might also help you.

421075 - "Information on transfer rules for BW-BCT-BBP"

614940 - "DataSources for the Enterprise Buyer and SRM Server"

Best regards,

Francisco Milán.

Hi,

Step 1: Goto help.sap and find out the relevant objects like Datasources, Infocubes, DSO's etc., under SRM

Step 2: Goto RSA5 in R/3 system and select your desired DataSources and Activate them

Step 3: (In BI Sysytem) Goto BI content Tab in RSA1, select "Infoproviders by Infoareas"-> select the Activated DS and Install them by Grouping(Dataflow before & Afterwards), then it will finish the installation procedure

Suman
