Use

When activating Business Content in BI, you can activate DataSources remotely from the BI system. This activation is subject to an authorization check. You need role SAP_RO_BCTRA. Authorization object S_RO_BCTRA is checked. This authorization is valid for all the DataSources in a source system.

When the objects are collected, the system checks the authorization remotely. The system issues a warning if you do not have authorization to activate the DataSources. In BI, if you trigger the installation of Business Content in the active version, the results of the authorization check are based on the cache.

If you do not have the necessary authorization for activation, the system issues a warning for the DataSources. The system issues an error for the corresponding source-system-dependent objects (transformations, transfer rules, transfer structure, InfoPackage, process chain, process variant). In this case, you have the option of installing the required DataSources in the source system from the Business Content, replicating them in the BI system, and then transferring the corresponding source-system-dependent objects from the Business Content.

If you have the necessary authorizations for activation, the DataSources in the source system are installed in the active version and replicated in the BI system. The source-system-dependent objects are activated in the BI system.

Effects on System Administration

BI Service API with Release SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (Plug-In Basis 2005.1) in the source system and BI is prerequisite to remote activation. If this prerequisite is not fulfilled, you have to activate DataSources in the source system and replicate them in BI afterwards.

Make sure that the necessary authorizations are available for the remote activation of DataSources.
