Creating Precalculation Servers 

       1.      Install the Precalculation Service.

We recommend that you install the Precalculation Service on a server. You can install it on a client PC.

The Precalculation Service is a separate component with its own installation that is available on 6.40 Final Compilation CD4. For more information, see service.sap.com/installNW70 → Installation and in SAP Note 877774. During installation, the management console for the following windows service appears: Precalculation Service.

       2.      Log on to the BI system on the PC on which the precalculation service is installed and navigate to Customizing (transaction SPRO): SAP Reference IMG → SAP NetWeaver → Business Intelligence → Settings for Reporting and Analysis → Settings for Information Broadcasting → Administrate Precalculation Server.

       3.      Choose  Create Precalculation Server.

       4.      Enter the technical name of the server (max. 10 characters) and a description. The description is language-dependent and appears in the BEx Broadcaster when you select a special precalculation server (see Precalculating and Distributing Workbooks).

The precalculation server, which is an RFC server from a technical viewpoint, appears in the list.

The precalculation server is ready and the status display of the precalculation server shows a green light.
