BW dev system connects to which ECC client?

Hi Gurus,

We are implementing BW in a laggred approach, with ECC developments proceeding little ahead of BW. Now we are in the process of connecting our BW with the testing client of ECC, (so that the data needed by bw is there in ECC testing client). Now since testing is still going on in our ECC testing client its locked for any configuration. But from BW point of view we need the system open for any datasource enhancements.

What is the solution for this?

The diff clients we hav for ECC dev :

client 1 for ABAP developments,

client 2 for Varinat config,

client 3 for testin &

client 4 golden master.

Thanks in advance,

priya.

Priya,

BW System always need to be connected to the client which has got the test data, hence in your case you need to connect to Client 3.

Coming to DataSource Enhancements n all, you can use the client 1 and then those changes can be applied to client 3, the same way ECC does their development.

Thanks Neelesh, I got it but to do enhancements in client 1, i will not have the variant config related stuff in the client. many of the enhancements are related to VC characterstics.

Can you explain why do you need VC for DataSource Enhancement.

Also in case if you need them then check with your BASIS or ABAP team if you can use the client where you have all your VCs.

In General, this is how ECC clients are defined,

1 - Golden Client

2 - ABAP and VC

3 - Data

you can maintain the corrent configuration and ask basis to open  in RSO2 the ECC test environment  every time you need to modify the BW datasource.  Generally Datasource Modifications/ installations are not so frequent

hope it helps

Hi gurus, Or else can we get all the Variant config stuff transported in to abap client? & do all the bw enhancements in abap client i.e. client1 & finally get them to testing client i.e. client 3. And finally BW to pull data from test client?

Is this fine?

Thanks in advance,
