New Environments

You can copy all the components from a source environment to the target, which includes, but is not limited to, business process flows, drill-throughs, audit, security, work status, transaction data, journals, and Library view data. You have the option to not copy database records, and Library view data. After the copying is complete, you can begin to modify the default models, add new ones, and assign users to them.

When you create a new environment, Business Planning and Consolidation does the following:

• Copies the environment WebFolders/data within File Service and user workspaces

• Creates a copy of all NetWeaver BI objects

• Copies all transactional and master data from the source environment to the new environment

• Copies security and Business Planning and Consolidation metadata

If the system encounters an error when copying a environment, it rolls back to clear the objects created during the failed copy.

To access the Manage All Environments screen, follow these steps:

1. On the upper right corner of the screen, click the button.
2. Click the name of the current environment.
3. In the dialog that appears, choose Manage All Environments.

You add an environment by copying an existing environment. When you create the copy, you assign a name and description to the new environment and indicate which records you want copied from the source.
