How do I install Business Content?

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

I'm wondering how to install Business content in our BI. After downloading the latest BC from the SAP server I got 2 files on my computer:

KIBIIIH.CAR (_{510MB) and KIBIIP9.SAR (}40MB). I searched for any guide how to get those files into the portal but didn't find anything.

Do you know how I can install this Busines Content?

Best Regards

Christoph

Hi,

You can check your standaed objects in RSA1 > BI content tab in left hand side.

Find your standard object and install it.

Business Content is delivered as an add-on to SAP BW. The naming is BI Content 3.5.3 Add-On SP06. This is referred as Business Content

Purpose

Business Content is a pre-configured set of role and task-relevant information models based on consistent metadata in the SAP Business Information Warehouse. Business Content provides selected roles within a company with the information they need to carry out their tasks.

This information model includes integral roles, workbooks, queries, Info Sources, Infocubes, ODS objects, key figures, characteristics, update rules, and extractors for SAP R/3, mySAP.com Business Applications, and for other selection applications.

Business Content can:

Ž• be used in particular industries without being modified

Ž• be modified, meaning you can work with it to any degree of detail

Ž• serve as a template or an example for customer-defined Business Content

Moreover, [image: Structure link]Demo Content<http://help. sap.com/saphelp_ nw04/helpdata/ en/67/f3013872af 2946e10000009b38 f8cf/frameset. htm> which includes example data and can be used as display material, is available to you with the SAP Business Information Warehouse.

Implementation Considerations

Ž• Info Sources

Ž• Data targets (Infocubes and ODS objects)

Thanks for your answers, the information is helpful.

But I still dont know how to install those 2 files I downloaded from SAP as Suppotpackage, how can I do this? Or is it not required?

I'm sorry, it's the first time I'm dealing with BI and my knowledge is very limited...

Hi,

Installation of Support package is altogether a different activity compared to installation of Business Content.

Downloading and applying support packages is a basis activity.

Please ask you basis team to apply the support packages.

Ok I'll do that. But I got one question before:

Do I really need to install the SP? We only want to use the Business Content and activate DemoContent afterwards. NW7.0 is already running.
