BI-Java with EP 7.0 Upgrade

26 Views

Hi There,

I want to verify few things regrading BI-Java usage type and EP an EP-Core.

I just Upgraded our EP 6.0 to EP 7.0. BI-Java Usage type wasn't present

on our EP 6.0 and We want teh BI-Java usage type to our EP 7.0.

As per note: 970039, BI Usage type will be installed part of EP 7.0

Upgrade? Correct?

"
Usage Type Enterprise Portal: Preventing BI Java Deployement
If the BI Java usage type is not installed on your source release system
and you do not want that the upgrade program deploys it during the upgrade,
prepare your system as described in SAP Note 1015214"

During the PREPARATION PHASE:

I did unchecked when this screen "prompted during the PREPARE module of

the upgrade procedure whether BI usage is present on your system, mark

that the BI usage is NOT present on your system. " this mean, I have to

check only if BI-Usage type was in the EP 6.0 correct?

this mean, EP 7.0 Upgrade must have installed BI-Java Usage type with

that upgrade.

After the upgrade, I went into the system information to check what

software components being installed, and missing following

BIBASES.SCA, BIREPPLAN.SCA

OSS Note: Note 1072576 - Frequently Asked Questions: BI Java Support

Packages/patches

Talks about all the Software components that are part of BI-Java


"
From a technical perspective, BI Java consists of the following J2EE
Software Component Archives (SCAs):

    * BIBASES.SCA - BI BASE SERVICES

    * BIWEBAPP.SCA - BI WEB APPLICATIONS


These two SCAs must use the same Support Package Stack (see the answer to
the next question for more information about the dependencies of Support
Package Stacks) and they must also be on the same patch level.

However, there are further BI components in J2EE that do not have to be
on the same patch level as the SCAs mentioned above. However, they must
be on the same Support Package Stack level (see the next question):

    * BIIBC.SCA - BI INFORM. BROADCASTING

    * BIREPPLAN.SCA - BI REPORTING AND PLANNING

    * BIUDI.SCA - BI UDI


In addition, there are SCAs that, although their names begin with BI,
can also be used in a broader environment (for example, without using the
BI function):

    * BIMMR.SCA - BI META MODEL REPOSITORY

    * BIWDALV.SCA - BI WEBDYNPRO ALV

"

I am missing software components BIBASES.SCA, BIREPPLAN.SCA? Are these

components are part of EP Upgrade?

Or is this something I have to download and Deploy separately using SDM

after upgrade?

Can you please verify this for us? This is really urgent, since we want

to connect our BI 7.0 ABAP to EP soon.

Thanks in Advance
