Install Business Content

With the setting 'Install Business Content' in the Administrator Workbench, you can copy and
activate the delivered Business Content. With this, all additional required objects, as well as
the order they are to be activated in, are automatically taken into consideration.
Procedure:
1. In the menu 'Grouping', select which additional objects of Business Content are to be
taken into consideration. Groupings group all the objects of an area together:
a. 'Only necessary objects': Only those objects are considered that are absolutely
necessary for activating the selected objects (minimum selection).
b. 'In the previous data flow'. All objects that provide data for a collected object
are collected.
c. 'In the next data flow'. All objects that get data from a collected object are
collected.
d. 'In the previous and next data flow'. All objects that deliver as well as pass on
data are collected.
e. 'Saving for system copy'. You can use this setting to collect a share of the
objects for a transport request. This request can be used again after a system
copy.
2. Choose one or more objects and insert these by drag & drop into the window of the
collected objects. The collection of the additional objects is started by this.
The order and selection of the existing objects can be set up in the menu:
a. 'InfoCubes': Listing InfoCubes and aggregates according to InfoAreas.
b. 'InfoObjects': Listing InfoObjects according to the InfoObject catalog and
InfoAreas.
c. 'InfoSources': Listing the InfoSources according to master data and transaction
data.
d. 'Object types': All objects are sorted by type (InfoArea,
3. InfoCube,...). For each type you have a value help you can use. Selected objects can
be inserted in the tree. This personal object list is saved for each user and can be used
again whenever you start the program.
a. 'Objects in the BW Patch': All installed BW Patches are listed and have below
the objects delivered for the first time or again for that particular patch.

4. Check the selection fields in the column 'Install'. Business Content that is installed for
the first time is selected as fixed. For already activated objects, you can choose
whether you wish to keep these, or install them again. If it is possible to merge the
Content version and the active version, then this is marked in the column 'Merge'.
5. In the menu 'Install Business Content', you can now simulate the installation, start it
directly or in the background.
Since installation with a larger number of objects, and especially when changing
objects that are already active, can take a while, installation in the background is
preferable. If this is finished, you can see the log using the pushbutton 'log'.
6. The collected objects and their links can also be displayed and exported as a list, tree
or network display (in HTML format) using the pushbuttons in this box.
