Use

You use the BI Administration Cockpit to perform administration tasks in BI more simply and quickly. You can call the BI Administration Cockpit from the BI Administration 1.0 business package in SAP Enterprise Portal. It supports BI administrators in monitoring statuses and optimizing performance by providing an overview of the objects and processes in BI systems. It provides BI administrators with a central point of access that focuses on critical situations and allows them to navigate to more detailed information as well as error handling and optimization applications.

You can also use the new technical Content, on which the BI Administration Cockpit is based, to create additional evaluations and reports. The technical Content has been enhanced in the following areas:

●      Complete redesign of query runtime statistics

●      Enhancement of data-load statistics to include statistics for process chains and data transfer processes

●      Current data-load status of process chains and processes

●      Current status of loaded requests

New InfoObjects, data flows and extractors have also been created. The new technical Content allows you to perform evaluations that the old technical Content did not offer.

Effects on Existing Data

The BI Administration Cockpit is based on new InfoProviders that are delivered with the technical Content. Essentially these represent an enhancement of the existing technical Content – with one exception:

The query runtime statistics are updated to other detailed tables, offering a more exact evaluation. As a result, the following InfoCubes for statistics are obsolete as of NW 7.0: 0BWTC_C02 and 0BWTC_C03. Statistics that you created before the upgrade can still be evaluated with these InfoCubes, while the new InfoProviders are only available for query-runtime statistics that are generated after upgrading to NW 7.0.

It is not possible to migrate old statistics into new InfoCubes.

The new InfoProviders are:

●      For more highly aggregated query-runtime statistics:

0TCT_C01, 0TCT_VC01 and 0TCT_MC01

These replace InfoCube 0BWTC_C02.

●      For more detailed query-runtime statistics:

0TCT_C02, 0TCT_VC02 and 0TCT_MC02

These replace InfoCube 0BWTC_C02.

●      For data manager statistics:

0TCT_C03, 0TCT_VC03 and 0TCT_MC03

These replace InfoCube 0BWTC_C03.

●      For data-load statistics of process chains and processes:

0TCT_C21, 0TCT_VC21 and 0TCT_MC21

●      For data-load statistics of data transfer processes:

0TCT_C22, 0TCT_VC22 and 0TCT_MC22

●      For data-load statistics of InfoPackages:

0TCT_C23, 0TCT_VC23 and 0TCT_MC23

These deliver essentially the same information as InfoCube 0BWTC_C05 but they use the new InfoObjects. The remaining new InfoProviders also use the new InfoObjects.

●      For the current data-load status of process chains and processes:

0TCT_VC11 and 0TCT_MC11

●      For the current status of requests loaded to InfoProviders, InfoObjects that have been updated flexibly, and PSA tables:

0TCT_VC11 and 0TCT_MC11

For use in combining both:

●      InfoCubes for histories (not suitable for current status)

●      VirtualProviders for current data

●      MultiProviders.

Queries for the new MultiProviders are delivered with the corresponding Web templates. A workset of business package BI Administration 1.0 is also delivered with portal pages and iViews which contain one BI Web template each. These are components of the BI Administration Cockpit. You can also execute the queries and Web templates (with limitations) without the portal.

Effects on the Data Transfer

It is not possible to migrate old statistics into new InfoCubes.

Effects on Customizing

For the new statistics, you have to determine the objects for which you want to update the statistics and to what level of detail. You call this dialog from the Data Warehousing Workbench. It has changed completely from the previous statistics functionality.

In addition, you can manually assign a priority to the queries, InfoProviders and process chains. This priority is evaluated in the statistics. This can be used to establish a ranking or to exclude objects from the display in a report.
