BI Administration Cockpit - Purpose
Simplifies BI-specific administrative tasks, and providing rich
information about all kinds of performance and about status of
operational tasks.
Supports BI administrators in status monitoring and performance
optimizing.
A central point of access to status and statistical information to provide
an overview of objects and processes in BI systems.
Provides drill-down capability to handle errors and optimize
performance in the respective system.
You can also use the new Technical Content,
Content on which the BI
Administration Cockpit is based, to create additional evaluations and
reports. The technical Content has been enhanced in the following
areas:
– Complete redesign of query runtime statistics
– Enhancement of data-load statistics to include statistics for process chains
and data transfer processes
– Addition of current data-load status of process chains and processes
– Addition of current status of loaded requests

Key Points: BI Administration Cockpit & Statistics Content
The new technical content for BI statistics renders the previous “BW
statistics” content obsolete with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI.
The BI Administration Cockpit is based on new InfoProviders that are
delivered with the new technical content for BI statistics.
– It is not possible to migrate old statistics into new InfoCubes, and there is no
provision for migrating old statistics into the new InfoCubes.
The new BI statistics content provides:
– InfoCubes for historical data
– Virtual Providers for current data
– MultiProviders for combined view of current and historical
OLAP statistics table RSDDSTAT no longer is updated, and it has been
split / extended to several different RSDDSTAT* tables.
As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI, transaction ST03 is based on the Technical
Content InfoProviders (unlike prior releases). Therefore, using transaction
ST03 for BI Monitoring requires the Technical Content to be activated and
to be populated periodically with statistics data.
The BI Administration Cockpit is requires SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Portal, and
requires the Portals business package “BI Administrator” (available for
download from SDN)

which links a report for automatic
installation of the Technical Content
activating all the Technical
Content objects that are assigned to
role SAP_BW_BI_ADMINISTRATOR,
including the relevant data flows.
Prerequisite to utilize automatic
installation of content:
Software component BI_CONT 7.0.3,
Support Package 4 or
Software component BI_CONT 7.0.2,
Support Package 7
It is recommended to install
BI_CONT 7.0.3 as BI_CONT 7.0.2 is
out of maintenance!
SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 23
Overview: Steps to Implement BI Administration Cockpit - 1
0. Ensure the user id that will perform the installation of the technical
content has the appropriate authorizations.
1. Activate the new technical content in SAP NetWeaver BI . Use automatic
installation report (transaction SPRO). See note 965386 "Activating the
technical content for the BI admin cockpit".
2. Assign the BI Administrator Role. BI administrators (users) in
transaction SU01 to the role SAP_BW_BI_ADMINISTRATOR.
3. Check Statistics Update - Transaction RSDDSTAT.
a. Consider that the system default is 'X' (= statistics turned on) and detail level '2' (= all
details). If for certain objects no logging of performance statistics is needed please
switch them off in this transaction in order to avoid unnecessary load on statistics data
storage and analysis.
4. Activate and Schedule Process Chains.
a. Activate the process chains using transaction RSOR technical content (0TCT*).
b. Schedule the technical content process chains (0TCT*) in transaction RSPC. Note:"INIT"
process chains need to be scheduled once and "DELTA" process chains should be
scheduled periodically.
SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 24
Overview: Steps to Implement BI Administration Cockpit - 2
5. Activate direct access for virtual providers. Assign source system for all
the virtual providers (0TCT_VC*).
6. Perform key infrastructural integration steps to connect ABAP usage
type of SAP NetWeaver BI to it’s Portal usage type. See note 917950.
7. Activate Business Package 'BI Administration 1.0‘.
a. Download the Business Package BI Administration 1.0 from the Portal Content Portfolio
and import it into your SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Portal.
b. Assign the roles 'System Administrator' and 'BI Administrator' to your BI administrator
users in the portal.
8. Customize URL to call the BI Administration Cockpit. If you want to call
the BI Administration Cockpit from BI transactions such as the Data
Warehousing Workbench, you have to configure in SPRO the call to the
BI Administration Cockpit.
9. Define importance (optional). With this optional IMG activity, you can
assign importance values to BI objects. You can take into account these
importance values in technical content queries during analysis (for
example for filtering or sorting).
SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 25
Step 0: Authorizations for User Id to Perform Content Installation
The user id used to install the technical content requires the authorizations contained in the
S_RS_RDEMO authorization template. If you already have a role containing the authorizations
in this template, assign that role to the user id that will perform the content installation.
Otherwise, create a role (or adjust an existing one) in the profile generator, transaction PFCG.
Use the expert mode to select an authorization template. Generate the profile, then assign the
role to the user id that will be used to install the technical content.
See notes 965386, 161292
SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 26
Step 1: Automatic Installation of Technical Content
Automatic Installation: IMG task “Activate Technical Content in SAP NetWeaver
BI” launches report RSTCC_ACTIVATE_ADMIN_COCKPIT. Make sure you run
this report in the background.

SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 29
Tip: BI Statistics Data Retention
You can specify a minimum retention period for the data of the
RSDDSTAT_OLAP and RSDDSTAT_DM views using a parameter of the
RSADMIN table. The name of the parameter is
TCT_KEEP_OLAP_DM_DATA_N_DAYS.
TCT_KEEP_OLAP_DM_DATA_N_DAYS
If, for example, you set this parameter to the value 30, the system only
deletes data that is older than 30 days. As a reference time for this, the
system uses the STARTTIME time stamp that is defined in the
RSDDSTATINFO table.
If the system does not find the TCT_KEEP_OLAP_DM_DATA_N_DAYS
parameter in the RSADMIN table, it uses a minimum retention period of
14 days as a default value.
More details available in SAP note 891740
SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 30
Step 4a: Collect and Install Process Chains Technical
Content
Go to transaction RSOR (content installation)
To install content process chains, collect all process chains with
Process variants that begin with ‘0TCT’.
Use ‘Only necessary objects’ for grouping option.
SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 31
Step 4b: Check & Schedule Technical Content Process Chains - 1
Transaction RSPC: Check and make sure all your process chains are active.
Schedule Init process chains for single execution. Schedule other ones for
regular load (normally daily).
SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 32
Step 4b: Check & Schedule Technical Content Process Chains - 2
Once you validate the process chains, you can schedule them in
the following order:
Master Data
System Master Data - 0TCT_MD_S_FULL_P01
This loads text for objects like ‘Process Status’, ‘BI Object type’, ‘Process Type’
Content Master Data - 0TCT_MD_C_FULL_P01
This loads attributes & text for objects like ‘Process Variants’, ‘Process Chain’
Initialization Loads
Query Runtime Statistics - Init - 0TCT_C0_INIT_P01
Data Load Statistics - Init - 0TCT_C2_INIT_P01
These process chains need to run only once (Immediate scheduling).
Delta Loads
Query Runtime Statistics - Delta 0TCT_C0_DELTA_P01
Data Load Statistics - Delta 0TCT_C2_DELTA_P01
These process chains can be scheduled for periodic execution
SAP AG 2007, BI Administration Cockpit / Ron Silberstein / 33
Step 5: Activate Direct Access for Tech Content VirtualProviders
In DWWB, under InfoArea BI Statistics (0BWTC_STA), highlight each InfoCube with
technical names with the 0TCT_VC* prefix. Context menu > Activate Direct Access;
in the dialog box, choose Source Syst. for InfoSource 3.x, and select the “Myself”
Source System. This enables current status to be analyzed as well as the historical
view.

Performance Tip: "&PROFILING=X URL” parameter - 1
According to OSS Note 948158 – To measure BI-Java web runtime, you
can enable a link in the Web Application to display statistics containing
data about the OLAP statistics and information about the runtimes in
Java.
1. Start the Web Application with the "&PROFILING=X" addition. Simply attach
this to the end of tthe start URL. To do this, use the Web Application
Designer to execute the Web template in the Web and attach the addition to
the URL in the address area of the Web browser and confirm this using
"Return".
2. Go through the steps until the performance problem occurs.
3. When you use the "&PROFILING=X" addition, detailed statistics are
collected for the runtimes in Java and ABAP (OLAP statistics). You can call
these using the automatically generated link at the top of the "BI Statistics"
Web page. Choose this link.
