Installing BW Statistics (Technical Content) 

Use

BW statistics are delivered as part of technical content. The Technical Content role contains all of the objects that you need to install BW statistics, in particular the BW statistics MultiProvider (previously called the BW statistics MultiCube). You install the technical content in the same way that you install Business Content in the Install Business Content functional area of the Administrator Workbench. See Transferring Business Content

The version of BW statistics that is delivered with BW 2.0B contains InfoObjects that have changed to such an extent that they are no longer compatible with the InfoCube 0BWTC_C01 that is delivered with BW 1.2B.

If you want to continue working with this InfoCube you can choose not to install the new InfoCubes, changed InfoCubes, and so on, from the BW statistics.

We recommend that you use the version of BW statistics that is delivered with BW 2.0B. Install only the new InfoCubes.

Prerequisites

We recommend that you make or check the following settings before you install the technical content.

  1. Choose the Source System Assignment function. Check that the BW system is highlighted in the list of source systems. If the BW system is not highlighted, the system is not able to collect DataSources and InfoPackages, for example.
  2. In the BW system, call transaction RSA5 Install Business Content to install the DataSources from the application components TCT (0BWTC* and 0TCT*). Although the DataSources are in the same system, they are not made available automatically.
  3. In the Modeling functional area of the Administrator Workbench under Source Systems, replicate the DataSources for the BW system.

Since standard InfoSources are prepared for BW statistics, the usual data staging procedure is used to load information into the InfoCubes in the BW statistics.

Procedure

  1. In the Business Content functional area of the Administrator Workbench you can install the InfoCubes under either the BW Statistics InfoArea or the BW Technical Content role:
