Transporting BEx Objects 

The following procedures relate to queries, workbooks and Web application objects.

When transporting these BEx objects for the first time, proceed as is described in BI Transport Connection: Transport Objects. You do not need to write these objects individually to a request for further transports. You can transport the objects either using a standard BEx transport request or using a BEx transport request per package.

Transporting BEx Objects Using a Standard Transport Request

Use

You can store a single transport request for BEx objects that have already been transported. All changes are written to this request – independently of the user.

Procedure

...

       1.      You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the Transport Connection functional area. Choose  BEx with the quick info Create Transport Requests for BEx. The BEx Transport Requests dialog box appears.

       2.      To create a transport request for BEx Objects, choose Assign/Delete. The New Transport Request for BEx dialog box appears.

       3.      Assign the required transport request  or create a new one. Then choose  Continue.

A new request has to be created immediately after you release a BEx transport request. For this reason, either an administrator or project coordinator must create the requests centrally.

       4.      To transport your BEx transport request, choose  CTO Transport Organizer: Overview. The Transport Organizer: Requests screen appears.

       5.      Select the task/request that you want to release. Choose   Release Directly

First, release the individual tasks and then the complete request.

Transporting BEx Objects Using BEx Transport Requests for Individual Packages

Use

In certain circumstances, one request is not enough for all BEx objects. In this case, you can make one BEx request per package.

This is the case if:

·         you want to transport BEx objects from one development system to different productive systems.

·         you want to divide BEx objects into several areas in a large project.

If a package has no specific request, the object is written to the standard BEx transport request.

Procedure

Assigning Transport Requests to Packages

...

       1.      You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the Transport Connection functional area. Choose  BEx with the quick info Create Transport Requests for BEx. The BEx Transport Requests dialog box appears.

       2.      To create a transport request for an individual package, choose  Insert Row in the screen area BEx Transport Requests for Single Development Classes. The Enter Development Class dialog box appears.

       3.      Enter the required development class (package), and choose  Continue. The New Transport Request for BEx dialog box appears.

       4.      Assign the BEx transport request you want, or create a new one. Then choose  Continue. The BEx objects are now distributed to the assigned requests using your package. This means you can write several packages to one request.

Changing the Assignment of Transport Requests

...

       1.      The BEx Transport Requests dialog box appears. Select the package and the request whose assignment you want to change.

       2.      Choose  Change Request. The New Transport Request for BEx dialog box appears.

       3.      Enter the BEx transport request to which the BEx objects of the package in question are to be written, or create a new transport request. Then choose  Continue. You have now changed the assignment: A new request has been made for the package.
