Procedure documentation Transporting BEx Objects  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The following procedures are relevant for queries, query elements, workbooks, and Web application objects.

In addition to these BEx objects, objects from the planning, broadcasting settings and Data Access Services also use the BI transport connection using BEx transport requests. Unlike the BEx objects listed above, however, these objects have the following distinctive feature: even if the standard transport system is switched on, they are written to the BEx transport request or requests.

When transporting these objects for the first time, proceed as described in Transporting BI Objects. For further transports, you do not need to write these objects individually to a request. You can transport the objects either using a standard BEx transport request or using a BEx transport request for each 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 Transport Connection functional area in the Data Warehousing Workbench. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text 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 This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Continue.

Note

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 This graphic is explained in the accompanying text CTO Transport Organizer: Overview. The Transport Organizer: Requests screen appears.

       5.      Select the task or request that you want to release. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Release Directly

Note

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.

Example

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.

Note

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

Procedure

Assigning Transport Requests to Packages

...

       1.      You are in the Transport Connection functional area in the Data Warehousing Workbench. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text 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 This graphic is explained in the accompanying text 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 This graphic is explained in the accompanying text 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 This graphic is explained in the accompanying text 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 This graphic is explained in the accompanying text 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 are to be written, or create a new transport request. Then choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Continue. You have now changed the assignment: A new request has been made for the package.
