How to install BI-CONT 7.37 in SAP ECC system EHP 5

[former_member225699]

Hi SAP Gurus,

We recently upgraded BI_CONT in our BW landscape(SAP netweaver 7.3) from 7.36 to 7.37

What is the strategy to upgrade BI _CONT or corresponding changes in SAP ECC system(EHP 5).

Currently we don't have BI_CONT installed in our  ECC system.

KIndly, let me know how to upgarde BI_CONT related objects.

Earlier we used to use custom extractors and data sources in ECC system for BI_CONT now we business has planned to use all standard data sources.

Question here is do we need to install BI_CONT in SAP ECC and what is the procedure?

Thanks,

Avadhesh

Hi Avadhesh,

No need to upgrade or install add-on BI CONTENT in ECC system if you have already BI landscape for doing BI functions.

BI content includes below functionality which can be installed as an add on in ECC when you dont have BI landscape.

• DataSources
• Process chains
• InfoObjects
• InfoSources
• Transformations
• InfoProvider (InfoCubes and DataStore objects)
• Variables
• Data mining models
• Queries
• Workbooks
• Web templates
• Roles
• Aggregation level
• Planning function
• Planning function type
• SAP Crystal Reports (BI Content Ext.)
• SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards (BI Content Ext.)

Hi,

My first question is: why do you need to put this in ECC? If you are using extractors to BI, then you don't need this in ECC.  The BI Cont is only required if you are to use some of the BI  functions in ECC itself.  For example, are you going to use BI reporting in ECC?  If not, then leave it as it is .
