Environment Management

An environment consists of one or more models.

An environment is a virtual concept of a container that holds different planning scenarios in the form of models. Company-wide planning processes can be built on top of an environment.

Features

Adding New Environments

Administrators create new environments from scratch in the Manage All Environments screen.

Note
In BPC 11.0, embedded environment automatically generates 2-bits string in its prefix consisting of numbers and letters (a-z). This will impact consolidation embedded functions such as creating business rules. To solve this issue, follow the instructions in the note 2634332 Information published on SAP site.

For more information, see New Environments.

Using E-Mail Notifications

Administrators can use an e-mail notification service to send e-mails to users or teams defined in the system. The appropriate SMTP parameters must be set up correctly. For detailed information, refer to the SMTP Configuration Guide available on the SAP Help Portal.

Deleting Environments

You can delete environments after choosing Manage All Environments and selecting an environment.

Caution
When you delete an environment, you will delete all objects under this environment:
  • Models
  • BPF templates and instances
  • Work status settings and data
  • Worksheets

However, all BW modeling and settings done in the BW back-end transactions will still be available.
