  4. What is the right tool?

  5. Example Deployment LCM JOB LCM JOB • Development • (all platforms) • Test • (all platforms) • Production • (all platforms) Runs on top of an instance of SAP BusinessObjects BI. However – no extra licensing required for Lifecycle management • Lifecycle Management • (Windows, AIX, Solaris, Linux) • Subversion • (Version control)

  12. How does it work in XI 3.X? Dev HR Database Live HR Database Dev Connection for HR Reports Live Connection for HR Reports Job 2 Job 3 Job 1 Override Connection Development BOE BI 4.0 Production BOE BI 4.0

  13. How does it work in BI 4? Dev HR Database Live HR Database Dev Connection for HR Reports Live Connection for HR Reports Job 1 Job 2 Job 3 Create GLOBAL Overrides First in LCM Override Connection Development BOE BI 4.0 Production BOE BI 4.0

  14. Overrides Overview • Updating database connections (overrides) in XI 3.1 are job specific, in BI 4.0 are global. • In 4.0, Lifecycle management scans for all Crystal Reports, OLAP and Universe Connections and QaaWS URLs in the origin system. • Scan information can be updated with values for destination. • When a report connection is promoted, database connection information is automatically promoted. • Overrides can be from one or many origins to one or many destinations.

  15. Overrides – How to configure overrides? • Specify Origin system (Administration Options > Manage Systems) • Scan the Origin system (Administration Options > Override Settings) • Mark desired objects as active. • Promote the overrides to one or multiple destinations. • In destination, mark desired objects as active and edit database connections. • When a promotion job is executed, overrides of objects in the job are applied automatically.

  17. Visual Difference • Visual Difference framework allows you to easily identify changes. • It provides comparison plug-in and viewers for BI content • In SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 only LCM Jobs and LCMBIAR comparisons are possible. • LCMBIAR to LCMBIAR • LCM Job to LCMBIAR • LCM Job to LCM Job • LCMBIAR comparison includes: • Metadata • Primary Objects. • Dependent Objects. • The differences process results in 3 types of differences • Removed • Modified • Inserted
