Life-Cycle Mangement with SAP NetWeaver

Analysis workbooks and presentations are stored in the SAP Business Warehouse metadata repository. You can store the file fomats .xls, .xlsx, .ppt and .pptx with SAP NetWeaver. The authorization object for using SAP NetWeaver as platform is S_RS_AO.

In SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse, Analysis objects are stored with object type AAOE (for workbooks) and AAOP (for presentations). You can save an Object Name (technical name) and a Long Description (title) with an Analysis object.

Newly created objects are saved as an active version (A-TLOGO object). If you create a new object in a BI Content development system, it is saved as active version and delivery version (D-TLOGO object).

You can use several BW systems in your system landscape, one for testing and one for productive usage for example. You can also transport objects from one system to another. An Analysis object can contain connections to different BW systems. The system of the data source that is first inserted in the workbook or presentation, is the master system. If an object is transported, the connection to the master system will be replaced in the target system. The other connections are unaffected.

Note You have to make sure that objects dependent on the Analysis workbooks and presentations (InfoProviders, queries, query views) exist in the target BW system.
