BCS on ECC6

[former_member210146]

Hi there,

I am a newbie into BCS and would like to get some basic clarifications:

1. Whether BCS as a component, comes by default, in ECC6?

2. If it comes, that would mean we can configure the system to compute Minority Interest and other associated Consolidation components in this module.

3. Is there a need to procure BCS separately, that is, in addition to ECC6?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes

Yes

No.

‘No More Components’ Yes! The component view of SAP NetWeaver has gone as of the SAP NetWeaver 2004s release. SAP will no longer use components to segregate SAP NetWeaver functionality, or use it for Sales licensing view, the installation view, or the implementation view. The removing of the components completes the roadmap of delivering a single SAP NetWeaver platform at SAP:

It is interesting to see the answer to question 3.

If there is no additional licensing cost to BCS.. then it is almost like freebee for those you buy BI.
