SAP BusinessObjects BI4 LCM & CTS+Technical Prerequisites

CTS System: SAP Solution Manager 7.01 SP25 at least or SAP Solution Manager 7.1.– CTS plug-in installed on the SAP Solution Manager (taken from SL Toolset 1.0 SP02 at least – always use the newest

available CTS plug-in)

SAP Note 1692417 has to be implemented on the host of the CTS Deploy Web Service (for related information, see Configuring the CTS Deploy Web Service).SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0– If you would like to use LCM with CTS integration on a BI 4.0 Support Package level earlier than Feature Pack 3 (Service

Pack 04), you have the following options: o You can deploy the BOE frontend (BOE.war) on at least SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.2 SP 3 (CE) or

on at least SAP NetWeaver 7.3 AS Java. This might mean that you have to set up an additional system.

Note– If you are using SAP NetWeaver CE or SAP NetWeaver 7.3 anyhow as platform for other BI web applications, you can

for sure run the LCM on one of these servers. This does not limit the platform that you can use for BI in general to SAP NetWeaver.

– As of BI 4.0 Feature Pack 3 there are no BOE frontend deployment restrictions. You can deploy on Tomcat, for example, and configure the web service to use the CTS integration.


SAP BusinessObjects BI4 LCM & CTS+Configuration Steps

BD1 – Development system (Source / Export)BT1 – Test System (import / target)BP1 – Production System (import / target)



RFC connection between AS ABAP and AS Java needed (CTSDEPLOY)



Logon to CTS SystemTransaction SM59Check if HTTP Destination CTSDEPLOY existsTechnical Settings– RFC Destination CTSDEPLOY– Connection Type G– Target Host Details from AS Java (Deploy WS)– Service No Details from AS Java (Deploy WS)

Logon & Security– Basic Authentication– Enter user and password with administrative rights on AS Java



Tab Special Options– Activate option No Timeout



A logical port is needed to communicate between AS ABAP and AS Java

Logon to the CTS System, client 000Transaction LPCONFIG– Proxy Class : CO_TFLDEPLOY_PROXY_VI_DOCUMENT– Logical Port : CTSDEPLOY

In case the port does not exist, create it with default settings



Logon to the client of the Solution Manager system.Start transaction SICF.Enter Service in the field HIERARCHY TYPE.Enter CTS_BROWSER in the field SERVICE NAMEActivate the service CTS_BROWSER Start transaction SICF again.Enter Service in the field HIERARCHY TYPE.Enter CTS_OBJECTLIST_BROWSER in the field SERVICE NAME.Activate the service CTS_OBJECTLIST_BROWSER and use the menu ACTIVATE SERVICE.



Configuring SAP BusinessObjects BI4 as Application Type– Logon to CTS, start transaction STMS– Menu Extras > Application Type > Configure– New Entries : BOLM



Configuring SAP BusinessObjects BI4– Assign System IDs to your SAP BusinessObjects systems– Configuring the SAP BusinessObjects BI Development System– Configuring the SAP BusinessObjects BI Quality System– Configuring the Transport Routes– Configuring the Mapping File– Configuring the CTS Export Service



Assign System IDs to your SAP BusinessObjects systems– As part of the configuration of your SAP BusinessObjects BI systems in combination with the SAP

CTS+ environment you will need to define a system ID for each of the SAP BusinessObjects system



Configuring the SAP BusinessObjects BI Development System– Transaction STMS in the CTS system– Menu SAP SYSTEM • CREATE • NON-ABAP SYSTEM

o Enter the system ID of the SAP BusinessObjects BI source system into the field SYSTEM

o Enter a description.o Select the option ACTIVATE TRANSPORT ORGANIZER.o After saving the system, double click on the entry in the list

and navigate to the tab Transport Tool• Ensure the entries WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY and

WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY are listed on the tab Transport Tool

• You can use the values SMART, TAGGED or CREATE for WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY and MANUAL or AUTOMATIC for WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY



Configuring the SAP BusinessObjects BI QA System– Transaction STMS in the CTS system– Menu SAP SYSTEM • CREATE • NON-ABAP SYSTEM

o Enter the system ID of the SAP BusinessObjects BI source system into the field SYSTEM

o Enter a description.o Select the option ACTIVATE DEPLOYMENT SERVICE

• Ensure only method OTHER is activated



Configuring the SAP BusinessObjects BI QA System– Create new entry for Deployment Method– Application Type BOLM– Deploy Method: Application Specific Deployer (EJB)– Deploy URL :

http://<BOE web server name>:<Web server port>/BOE/LCM/CTSServlet?&cmsName=<BOE destination name>:<CMSport>&authType=<BOE authentication type>.



Configuring Transport Routes– You can define transport routes between your

BI4 systems now – Select Consolidation from Dev to QA– Select Delivery from QA to PROD



Configuring Mapping files– As part of the integration of your SAP Business Objects BI landscape with the SAP CTS environment,

you assigned your SAP Business Objects BI system IDs. Now you need to create a mapping fi le where you map the system ID to the actual Central Management Server (CMS) of your SAP Business Objects BI systems



Configuring Mapping files– As part of the integration of your SAP Business Objects BI landscape with the SAP CTS environment,

you assigned your SAP Business Objects BI system IDs. Now you need to create a mapping fi le where you map the system ID to the actual Central Management Server (CMS) of your SAP Business Objects BI systems

Syntax for the file:– <Fully qualified server name of the SAP BusinessObjects BI source CMS system>@<CMS Port

Number> = <Assigned System ID>– You can also use the following syntax:

<IP Number of the SAP BusinessObjects BI source CMS system>@<CMS Port Number> = <Assigned System ID>

Location for the file:– In a subfolder “LCM” in the path <SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform install

path>/SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform 4.0/



Configuring CTS Export Service– Start transaction SOAMANAGER in Solution Manager– Create endpoint and Access URL for service EXPORT_CTS_WS

Central Management Console– Promotion Management > CTS Settings > Web Service Settings– Promotion Management > CTS Settings > BW System
