BPC75NWSP09: Transport only an application

[Former Member]

Hi

Is it possible to transport only an application and not the whole appset?

This functionality has been implemented in BPC NW 10.0. You now have granular transports, where you can transport pieces of the appset(environment), for example, an application(or model as it is called in 10.0). There is no plan to downport this functionality to 7.5 release.

Cheers,

Hello Guillermo,

Please refer to BPC NW Ops Guide.

There you will find under:

5 Software Change Management

5.1 Transport Management

5.1.4 Transport Objects

5.1.4.2 Application (at page 46)

The object type APPM refers to an application. It can be configured from transport within table

UJT_TRANS_CHG using transaction SM30. This setting controls whether applications are imported into

your target system when importing a Planning and Consolidation transport. If this is flagged to

Development, all application changes within the application set are imported. This includes which

dimensions are assigned to the application.

If the dimensions assigned to the application are the same in the target application set, then the

underlying technical cube in SAP NetWeaver BW does not change. However, if the dimensionality

changes in development, and then this application is transported, the transport creates a shadow cube

with the new structure and moves the application data from the old application to the new application

and then deletes the old application.

Assuming a new dimension is added in development and this new dimension is assigned to a new

application, this dimension is not pre-populated in the application with the first dimension member

from the member sheet. In most cases, customers assign a NULL value as the first member in the member

sheet as a best practice.

When transporting this application with a new dimension, there are no dimension members in the

target system. In this case, the first member is transported from development to the target system and

then this member is inserted into the application as part of the application change.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Vin
