BPS Metadata

[Former Member]

Hello....does anyone know if there is a repository containing all BPS objects we created in our model, similar to the metadata repository in RSA1 for BW? That is, a listing of our planning areas, levels, packages, functions, layouts etc? I need to compile a list of objects.

Thanks!

Can you elaborate what do you mean by texts?

These tables also have texts descriptions.

Not that I know of.

May be Marc Bernard may answer that.

Actually i found the descriptions. They are in text tables. For example, the text table for UPC_PLEVEL IS UPC_PLEVELT.

Thanks again.

Sure.....what i mean is we have a planning level with a Technical name of REVBUD. When this is created, you also assign a description to the object (for example: User Revenue Budget) which would appear in the BPS workbench along with the Technical name. Most of the BPS objects have both a technical name and a descriptive name. I don't see the descriptive name in the table you identified, only the technical name. I'm guessing maybe the descriptive names are in a text table to handle multiple languages.

Hope this helps.

I only see the Technical names in these tables.....not the descriptive name that you also see in BPS. Technical names are a big help for me...but i also need the plain english name.

They are the tables.

This is excellent.

The tables contain the technical names.....do you know where the descriptions would be found? In another text table?

Thanks!

Try the following tables:

UPC_AREA, UPC_PLEVEL, UPC_DATASLICE, UPC_VAR.

There is none like a metadata repository in BW.
