Information has become the key strategic asset for forward-thinking
enterprises in today's Internet economy
The speed and effectiveness with which businesses capitalize on their
information stores will separate the winners from the losers.
Yet generating real value from information requires more than just an
understanding of key functional processes
In this age of the virtual enterprise, value comes from uniting centers of
information to gain both functional and cross-functional views of your
business
It also comes from being able to more effectively assess your operational
effectiveness, optimize customer relationships, optimize e-business and
empower the supply chain.

Statistic Data Management
Please review the (delivered) system default and disable statistic data
collection where performance monitoring is not necessary
Example: InfoProviders with low data volume
Setting Statistic Detail Level 2 for all queries will result in large amounts
of data in statistic data collection tables (rule of thumb: ~ 30 - 40 records

Frequent transfer to Technical Content InfoProviders recommended
Frequent deletion of Statistics Data (in transaction RSDDSTAT) recommended

St at us unt i l SAP BW 3.1 Cont ent
O SAP BW Content and SAP BW Technology was always
delivered together with SAP BW
O Pure Business Content releases (SAP BW 2.1C, SAP BW
3.1 Content) required a full upgrade of the BW System at the
customer site
O Business Content was often released in Support Packages,
e.g. for 3.0B in SP 2
O BW Support Package included BW Technology corrections
and Content object corrections
New Si t uat i on
From SAP BW 3.1 Content onward, SAP BW Business Content
will be delivered as a separate Software Component BI
Content Add-On.
OSeparate Support Packages for SAP BW Business Content
corrections
OApprox. 3 Add-Ons between technology BW Releases are
planned
Benef i t s of Busi ness Cont ent as an Add-On
O Always use of the newest content.
O The duration of the upgrade is reduced to one to two hours, as
the Add-On includes only content-relevant parts.
O Starting with the BI Content 3.2 Add-On, a technical upgrade of
BW systems is no longer necessary as only content-relevant
objects are imported.
O SAP BW Business Content developments and enhancements
are available at shorter intervals.
O Changes in the Support Package procedures separation of
Support Packages for the SAP BW Technology and SAP BW
Content permit independent imports and tests of Support
Packages.
O The Add-On release will be available for download from the SAP
Service Marketplace, which eliminates time for delivery and
customs duties.

SAP BW Busi ness Cont ent Ac t i vat i on
Before SAP BW Business Content can be used productively, it
has to be activated !!!
SAP Busi ness Cont ent Del i ver y - Ver si on
Objects of the Business Information Warehouse are run in versions to be
able to edit, execute and deliver different characteristics for an object in
parallel.
The objects of the Business Content are delivered in version D(elivery)
Changes are store in M(odified) version; Data is stored in A(ctive) objects
An upgrade of the Business Content does not affect the objects which
are in productive use!

Busi ness Cont ent Obj ec t s Par t i c ul ar i t y
Most of the delivered Content Objects dispose of:
A -Version = active
D -Version = delivered
M -Version = modified
Exceptions:
Transferstructures do not have D-versions, they have shadow tables
Roles do not have D-Versions
A-version = SAP_BWC_* (only for customer systems relevant)
D-version = SAP_BW_* (will be delivered)
Only A version objects are exported from the development system
These objects are imported into the target system into either the A-Version or
M-Version, depending on the object type. The M -Version objects are activated after
import. Examples are:
A -Version : Currency translation type, InfoObject Catalog
M -Version : InfoObject, InfoCube
SAP Busi ness Cont ent Del i ver y - Upgr ade
An Upgrade to take advantage of the new features:
Improved or enhanced information model
New information model
Upgrading BW Business Content corresponds to a functional
upgrade:
No effect on the complete Business Content with all information
models
Can be performed selectively (see step-by-step )
How t o ac t i vat e a new Ver si on of BW BCT ?
Two Transfer Methods
The customer can compare the new content with the active customer
version and either install the new version or merge it with the customer
version.
Install = The SAP BW Business Content in the A -Version will be overwritten completely
(a copy of the new Version is inserted), changes/modification which were done
to the prior SAP BW Business Content will be lost completely.

Business Content ?
Cust omi zi ng of SAP BW Busi ness Cont ent

requirements !
