RSA3: Extractor Checker BW Universe

- Before you load extractor, you can check it - Unifies different queries from different
first OLAP sources
RSA7: BW Delta Queue - Used with IDT
- UDT is used before but cant support HANA
RSA1:
- Modelling, BI Content CMC Central Management Console
Configure SSO Single Sign On
Conditions in a Query Maximum: 14 - Scheduling queries
Exeptions in a Query Maximum: 9 - Adding Users/User Manageement
- Testing Connections
Crystal Reports - License Management
- Always provide structured layout
- Can connect to any datasources directly BI Launcher
- Web app allows user to see all of the tools
Visualization for user? in one browser
- Lumira o Crystal Reports
o BOE
Can we convert BEx user prompts to analysis o Analysis MS Office
Office? o WEBI
- Check list of convertible objects o NO Lumira
- P188 o No IDT
- NO o NO CMC
- Cant convert o
- Why? There is no prompt in BEx Analyzer - Doesnt allow Fiori
- Prompts are originated from the queries

How to open query dialog box PPT

- Prompt for workbook or datasource - 21 ROWS, auto split

VBA User Tools directly Login?

- Change or customize values, - Excel, PPT, Webi, CR, BOE, Fiori, NW EP
- Customize toolsbars - No: Design Studio since Developer tools,
- Right click Viewcode UDT, IDT, Dashboard, CMC, UI5, Query
- GetworkbookInfo Designer since technical display

Variant Design Studio

- Saved values for a prompt - Can create mobile apps
- Prompt Variant different variations of - Developer tool it is not for business users
dialog box Lumira ( p265)
- Authorization: S_RS_ - Visualization tools
Autorization for InfoCUBe: S_RS_ICUBE - Explorer tool
Quert Definition: S_RS_Comp - No fixed format, its all about graphics
Reporting components - Discovery tools (in contrast of delivery
PFCG User Roles management ( Profile Change) tools)
LOB Line of Business (departments in an Design Studio
organization) - For developer side not end users
- Provides multiple panels for reporting such
SAP Transportation as charts and sliders
- Transfer of system - Can make web page and mobile application
- From Development server to testing server to connect BW or other HANA sources
to Production Server - Customize panels by adding scripts
- DEV BOX: Create all queries, cubes, - Can send QR code to send to other devices
multiproviders and make changes
- QA BOX: Testing, consultants, sponsors, Between BW to BW box
business users to be tested to have it tested - DSO to Info Cube use INFOSOURCE
for the UAT - There is a transformation rule mapping, the
- PRODUCTION BOX: Live system joining mapping is called
TRANSFORMATION
Development Freeze
- Even developers cant open BOBJ Package
- 4.2 is latest, now training at 4.0
Why directly connect to DB
- Testing, BOAO connect with HANA Datasource
- Auditing - yes
- Reconciliation - Data, other sources, connect MDX to
- Validation connect with HANA
- Not staged: Raw data
RSCZ
Design Studio: - Copy query
Create Application Template Datasource RSBBS
Component Assign Data Source (Every Analytic - Sender receiver
Component has datasource)
- You can have as many datasources you JDBC
want, multiple charts in one view - Connect to the web
- Connector to the web and webapplications
BI Launchpad ODBS
- Webbased - Connect to client installed based application
- Consolidation of various reporting tools - Connect local to the computer
RSA5
Analytical Engine - Select datasource then activate BW
- Analyzes the data to send to reporting tool Datasources
RSA7
PPT - BW Delta Queue
- Cant have input prompt and variables -
- Doesnt have design panel RSA3
- We cant run programs in slideshow like - Check number of records, checks
scripting in PPT as contrast to excel connections
- PPT is broadcaster while excel has macros RSECADMIN
- BW authorization
Prerequisite for check company code TO make Query accessible to external tools
1. Check Company Code exist - Activate OLEDB to be accessible external
2. Check Data and table exist C5 non SAP tools
3. Check Authorization Relevant checkbox is
checked at InfoObject Level Filter vs .Restriction
4. RSA1 PSCG RS_COMP - Filter is global

Profile vs. User How many selections you can have in a structure
- Profile are collection of roles
- Roles are collection of authorization objects For naming Conventions
for the users (URL parameter)
o Helps user grouping
- User have atleast one role in SAP system Z consultant
to be activated Y customer
X not go to production system, only testing
RSECADMIN purpose
- Change of authorization BW cubes

2 Ways to make DTP InfoObjects

- From Source to Target and - Building blocks
- Target to Source - 5 types
o RSE5: technical infoObject
InfoObject Types - Can have attibutes

- Hierarchy o Navigationa
- Attribute Can navigate at the query
- One Data Source for each Type Technames have double
