For enablement of BW module analyses additional setup is required. See following sections with detail information.

Additional OData setup

BW module requires two more OData services to be registred on central system. Following Odata services should be registred in addition to standard Insights OData services:

  • HS_ODATA_SRV
  • HS_KPI_SRV

Additional Fiori setup

BW module requires additional Fiori application to be enabled using SICF transaction. Following application should be activated in addition to standard Insights Fiori applications:

  • /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/dvd/hmbw_web

Additional landscape monitor setup

For enabling some of the BW module analysis additional setup of collectors and ETL processes in DataVard Landscape Monitor is needed. For each system you wish to monitor by BW module analyses following collectors and ETL processes should be scheduled with their recommended periodicty.

BW module collectors:

  • Data usage collectors – Days : 1
  • Queries related analyses – Weeks: 1

BW module ETLs:

  • Default ETL profile – Days: 1

For detailed information how to schedule collector/ETL process for system see section (DI-1705) Basis add-on setup.

Additional monitoring setup

Newest BW module collectors do not use Landscape monitor functionality to run analyses and collect their data from satellite systems. These collectors use Insights monitor for their setup that simplifies this process . This section contains description how these new collectors can be schedulled on satellite systems.

Schedulling new analysis

  1. Run transaction /DVD/MON for Insights monitor.
  2. Switch to 'Collector Jobs' tab.
  3. Click on 'Create collector job' button . 
  4. Fill following collector job settings:
    1. System ID - system where to run analysis (Insights BW module must be installed on the monitored system). 
    2. Monitoring profile - profile that specifies analyses to be run on the system. Currently BW module supports following profiles and their respective collectors:
      1. HMBW_1DAY profile with collectors:
        1. Data Distribution Collector
    3. Execution - time when first analysis run should be executed.
    4. Period - periodicity of collector job execution. This setting should follow these recommendations for monitoring profiles of BW module:
      1. HMBW_1DAY:
        1. Type: Days
        2. Value: 1
    5. Retention time- periodicity of KPI values deletion. This setting should follow these recommendations for monitoring profiles of BW module:
      1. HMBW_1DAY - 365 days
  5. Click on (Re)Start collector job button . 
  6. Newly created collector job will appear in table of all collector jobs with all the necessary informations regarding its execution status.
