Activate Embedded BW

1.1 Preparation Steps for Activation of Embedded BW

The activation of the embedded BW has to be conducted in each system (development, test, production) separately.
This activity is part of the system setup and not part of Customizing.

1.1.1 Decide Which Client Is to Be Used as BW Client

First decide which client to use as BW client. Log on to this client and execute all subsequent steps within this client.
In most cases, the productive client is used as the BW client.

1.1.2 Check for Existing Settings for the BW Client in the System
In some cases, there is already a setting for the BW client in table RSADMINA, even if no BW is used in the system.
Check the situation beforehand and correct as necessary.
a) Use transaction SE16 to display all data in the RSADMINA table.
b) Under CUSTOMIZID, if the entry is BW but the corresponding entry under BWMANDT is not the client used
above, start transaction SE37, enter function module RS_MANDT_UNIQUE_SET, and click Test/Execute (F8).
Enter the BW client you want to use in field I_MANDT and click Execute. The BW client is now set. If there is no
such entry, or the BWMANDT field is empty, then there is no need to run function module
RS_MANDT_UNIQUE_SET.

1.2 Customizing Steps for Activation of Embedded BW

1.2.1 Assign Logical System Client

a) Under Controlling -> General Controlling -> Planning -> Setup for Planning -> Define Logical System, define the
logical system, and then assign it to your BW client.

b) You must define a logical system. If you do not work with logical systems, enter a dummy name for the
technical name and a brief description.

c) Choose Assign Logical System to Client.

d) Under Controlling -> General Controlling -> Planning -> Setup for Planning -> Assign Logical System to Client,
select the client that you have chosen as BW client.

e) Check the settings of 'Cross-Client Object Changes'. Use one of the following settings:

No changes to cross client customizing

Changes Repository and cross client Customizing allowed

f) Set the logical system to the one you created before.

1.2.2 Set BW Namespaces to Modifiable

a) In the Transport Organizer Tools (transaction SE03), choose Administration -> Set System Change Option, and
then Execute.

b) In the System Change Option screen, select the namespaces with the prefixes /BI0/ and /BIC/as modifiable.

1.2.3 Activation of Technical Content

The report is started with the DDIC user, which must contain the profiles SAP_ALL and S_A.SYSTEM.

a) Start transaction SU01, enter user DDIC and press the Change pushbutton.

b) Go to the Parameters tab. Enter parameter RSWAD_DEV_MDVERSION, and 072 as the value.

c) Enter parameter RSWAD_SKIP_JAVA and value 'X'.

d) Save your entries.

 e) Now start transaction RSA1.

f) In the Replicate Metadata dialog box, choose 'Only Activate'

A message appears that the background job BI_TCO_ACTIVATION is scheduled. Call transaction SMX (Own Jobs) and check
that the job finishes without error messages (this typically takes about 15 minutes).

1.2.4 Use RSTCO_ADMIN to Check Status

a) Call transaction RSTCO_ADMIN and check if the Installation status is green.

b) Click Display Logs and check that the log does not contain any red error messages.

1.2.5 Perform a First Check

You can also check if the planning content is already activated by using transaction RSD1 and checking if 0RSPL* Info
Objects exist in the active version.

2. Switch On Business Function

The activation of the business function as well has to be conducted in each system (development, test, production)
separately.

Project planning requires the activation of business function FIN_CO_CCMGMT as a technical prerequisite. Cost center
planning requires the activation of business function FIN_CO_CCPLAN.

Use transaction SFW5 to activate the required business functions. A background job SFW_ACTIVATE_SF0X is scheduled.
Call transaction SMX (Own Jobs) and check that the job will finished without error messages (typically needs about 15
minutes).

3. Activate Content Bundle for New Financials Planning and BW Reporting

3.1 Activate DataSource 0PROFIT_CTR_0106_HIER

a) Start transaction RSA5

b) Expand the complete SAP structure.

c) Use the Find functionality to jump to DataSource 0PROFIT_CTR_0106_HIER

d) Activate the DataSource: place the cursor on the DataSource, press Select Sub-Tree and Activate DataSource.

3.2 Activate Content Bundle

Remark: You can activate the content bundle in each system separately, but you can as well transport this activation.

a) Start transaction SPRO and activate Content Bundle /ERP/SFIN_PLANNING under Controlling -> General
Controlling -> Planning -> Setup for Planning -> Activate BI Bundle Content for Planning

b) Under Business Category, select 03 for Business Functions

c) Select the line with the technical name /ERP/SFIN_PLANNING and click Activate.

d) On the next screen, click the RFC Mapping button. In the dialog box, create one entry with "Dialog RFC
connection" = NONE and "Background RFC connection"= NONE Also ensure that you select the Local checkbox.

e) Under RFC Destination for Content Objects, enter NONE.

f) Select No Data Source Replication.

g) Under Treatment of Already Active Content Objects, press the Copy radio button and select the Install all
Collected Objects checkbox.
 h) Click Activate.

Note: Other options could be useful for later activations: In future, press the Match radio button if you have changed the
content delivered by SAP. For content objects delivered by SAP, you are then asked if the new content version is to be
merged with the active object. Deselect the Install all Collected Objects if only new SAP delivered objects are to be
considered. Automatic choices between Match and Copy depend on the object type (See flag MERGEFL in table
RSTLOGOPROP).

i) Start the activation (If you want to transport the activation in the test and productive system click 'Activate
with transport').

j) The Select Source System dialog box appears. Do not select a source system, click Cancel.

k) Check the activation log.

3.3 Activate Analysis Office Workbooks

Remark: You can activate the Analysis Office Workbooks in each system separately, but you can as well transport this
activation.

a) Start transaction RSOR to activate the Analysis Office Workbooks.

b) Ensure that in the right panel Grouping is set to Only Necessary Objects and Collection Mode is set to Start
Manual Collection.

c) Choose BI Content -> Object Types, select More Types -> Analysis Office Excel Workbook -> Select Objects.

d) The Data Warehousing Workbench: Bi Content box appears. Select all workbook starting with /ERP/SFIN_A*, in
addition /ERP/SFIN_M01_Q1000_WB01 (Income Statement by Market Segment), ERP/SFIN_V10_Q0001_WB01
(Work Analysis), and /ERP/SFIN_V11_Q0001_WB01 (WIP Analysis), and click on Transfer Selections.

e) The Select Source Systems dialog box appears. Do not select a source system, click Cancel.

f) Select all objects for installation and click on Install (If you want to transport the activation in test and
production system chose 'Install and transport').

4.0 Categories

To use new Financials Planning, you need to create and maintain relevant categories. Categories can be created in each
system separately but as well be transported into test and production system. Do this creation in Customizing, under
Controlling -> General Controlling -> Planning -> Maintain Category for Planning.

4.1 Category for Actual Data

Create category ACT01 (maintenance view FCOMV_CATEGORY).

4.2 Categories for Plan Data

Create categories for your plan data, for example, for optimistic or pessimistic forecasts.

If you want to transport categories mark the categories you want to transport and select in the menu 'Edit' and 'Include in
request'.

5 Perform a First Test

a) Under System -> User Profile -> Own Data, set the user parameter CAC for the controlling area.

b) Use transaction RSRT for a first technical test.

c) Under Query, select /ERP/SFIN_A01_IRQ0001.

 d) Under Query Display, select HTML.

e) Press the Parameter 1 radio button.

f) In the text box, enter variable screen =x

g) To run the first test, click Execute (F8)

The Query selection screen appears. Some values are defaulted, for example, the currency with the
controlling area currency. Enter at least a category, a company code, and a fiscal year.

h) Click Execute and see the first result.

This test result proves that the planning functionality has been installed and configured correctly.

6. Activate Planning and Consolidation Unified

6.1 Prerequisites

a) You are using a SAP HANA database.

b) You have activated the SAP Business Warehouse Planning Applications Kit. For more information, see SAP Note
1637199.

c) This activation can be conducted in each system separately but can also be transported if needed.

6.2 Procedure

a) Log on to the SAP GUI.

b) Run transaction SM30.

c) Enter the RSPLS_HDB_ACT table view.

d) Add and activate the following parameter: BPC_ACT: BPC-PAK integration active (or "BPC Embedded Model
Active").If you want to transport this parameter mark the categories you want to transport and select in the
menu 'Edit' and 'Include in request'.

e) For more information, see SAP Note 1919631.

Error Log

Error while activating infocube 0PPM_VC1

At this step I got an errors. Go through errors and finally get:

(this is a screenshot from the log of activation content from transaction RSTCO_ADMIN)

The best way to solve this issue is manual activation:

1. Start transaction RSDCUBEM.
2. Select Content as version and 0PPM_VC1 as infoCube, as follows:
 3. Select Subsequently activation as option of activation:

4. Start transaction RSA1 Infoprovider and find cube 0PPM_VC1. It will be inactive. Open cube for edit and activate it
manually.

Lets try to activate technical content one more time.

1. Start transaction RSTCO_ADMIN.
2. Click Start installation and wait.
3. Done!

Well, weve successfully activated a technical content. Go ahead.

To perform a first test, start transaction RSD1 and check, whether infoobjects 0RSPL* exist in active version. Test passed
successfully:
Error of activation an extractor
During activation of extractor 0PROFIT_CTR_0106_HIER I got a list of errors like this:

(I saw it through the transaction SLG1)

This errors are associated with the fact, that application component EC_PCA_IO is inactive. To activate it:
1. Start transaction SE11 and check whether theres application component EC-PCA-IO with D version in
table RODSAPPL

If you have D in field OBJVERS of this table, you need to call T-CODE RSA9 and click YES in a pop-up window.
Then, try to activate extractor one more time. It will be successful.

Error of activation content bundle

After almost 20 minutes of waiting, I got a list of errors:
For solving it, you must patch your SAB BW 7.40 to SP11 or above.
After patching your system, clear the tails of your previous trying of activation content bundle:
1. Run report RSR_MULTIPROV_CHECK in SE38.
2. Scroll the bottom and flag All Infoprovider
3. Press Execute

After execution of the report, try to activate function /erp/sfin_planning again, it has successfully activated now.
