Business Context Viewer (BCV)
Business Context Viewer (BCV) is a framework that allows all SAP Business Suite applications to integrate different types of additional information into the context of their applications. This information can then be analyzed according to the user's business needs.
Configuration and Display of Data
The analytic data that BCV displays is available in the side panel of the application, while the configuration center offers an interface where users can configure BCV. For more information, see the following:
Search Connectors, Data Providers, and Data Provision Technologies
BCV aims to integrate analytic and search data into the application.

Queries
Queries collect data from data providers and pass it on to the user interface for display.
