Usage of tools requires Business Content installation
Content Delivery Consists of:

MultiCube
InfoCubes
Queries
Workbook (New one as of BW 2.0B)
InfoSources
Transfer Structures, Transfer Rules, Update Rules
InfoPackages, InfoPackage Groups

Maintenance requires scheduling data loads and monitoring

Delta load functionality delivered
Transaction Data
Master Data
One of several sources of performance monitoring information.

Others include:
ST03 > Expert Mode > BW system load
Table RSDDSTAT
Function Module RSDDCVER_RFC_BW_STATISTICS
Can be utilized when building aggregates

System can “propose” aggregates from BW stats data
Object metadata of BW Statistics is transportable

Check delivered InfoPackage groups; Utilize and modify as needed.
Consider building process chains to automate data loads.

InfoSources under the Technical Content InfoArea and the BW Metadata
InfoArea
InfoPackage Scheduler: Perform delta initializations for all transaction

data InfoPackages under the Technical Content InfoArea
InfoPackage Scheduler: Schedule regular delta data loads for all

transaction data InfoPackages under the Technical Content InfoArea
InfoPackage Scheduler: Schedule regular data loads for all master data
InfoPackages under the Technical Content InfoArea and the BW Metadata
InfoArea
Regularly monitor data loads and ensure timely data availability.
BW Statistics Setup: Assign Technical Content Role
54
The Technical Content Role
(SAP_BWC_TCONT ) is activated via
the BW statistics business content
installation.
The delivered BW Statistics

Workbook is (by default) contained
within the Technical Content Role
(SAP_BWC_TCONT ).
Use transaction PFCG to assign the

Technical Content Role
(SAP_BWC_TCONT) to any users who
should have easy access to the BW
Statistics Workbook.
