Before you can use Operational Analytics, you first need to complete the basic configuration for SAP NetWeaver BW on your system. This allows you to use operational data provisioning and Classic InfoSets in BI tools.
Requirements
As a rule, system changes are not permitted in production systems. However, the steps that are carried out during the operational analytics basic configuration imply changes to the system. Therefore, you should make the following settings, to ensure that the changes required for the basic configuration are permitted on the relevant clients:
- Changing repository objects
- Open the Assign Logical System Client customizing setting. Select the relevant client and choose Goto > Details.
- In the Cross-Client Object Changes field, choose No Changes to Cross-Client Customizing Objects. This setting allows you to maintain cross-client objects from the SAP repository.
- Changes in the BW namespaces with the prefix /BI0/ (SAP namespace) and /BIC/ (customer namespace)
- In the Transport Organizer Tools (transaction SE03), choose Administration -> Set System Change Option and then Execute. On the next screen, flag the namespaces with the prefixes /BI0/ and /BIC/ as changeable.
Activities
At the start of the report, you need to enter the BW client on which you want to perform the basic configuration.
The report can be repeated as often as required. However, if a BW client is already set on the system, it is not possible to change the client.
The following configuration steps need to be performed:
- Set BW client (if not set already)
- Activate technical content
- Activation is performed by scheduling an activation job, using the DDIC user. Messages related to the activation cannot be displayed by the report. Instead you can view the messages in the job log of the activation job BI_TCO_ACTIVATION. If the activation has been successfully executed, the job is not scheduled again.
- Activate personalization
- Activate time hierarchies
- Generate authorization profile ‘0BI_ALL’
