Overview of Changes for SAP Business
Warehouse Upgrade, October 2008
About the SAP Business Warehouse Upgrade
The SAP Business Warehouse (BW) system, including the Budget Planning System
(BPS), will be unavailable from 5:00 A.M., Saturday, October 4 through 10:00 PM,
Sunday, October 5, 2008 due to an upgrade of the system. This is a technical upgrade,
so there is NO action required from users and the upgrade will NOT impact the
functionality of the system.
There are only two minor changes that BW users may notice after the upgrade is
complete, as outlined in the sections below. In addition, the upgrade provides many
future benefits as outlined in the last section.
If you have any questions, please send an email to Administrative Systems
Management at: r-3@duke.edu .
Minor Changes from the SAP Business Warehouse Upgrade
For those using the Business Explorer (BEx) tool as part of SAP BW after October 5,
2008, the following minor changes will result from the upgrade.
Query Selection Screens Have Changed Slightly
The variable entry screen used to select the criteria for a query will change slightly as
outlined below:
Prior to BW Upgrade
(old design)
1
2
3
4
After the BW Upgrade
(new design)
5
Please note the new design of the query selection screens as follows:
1. The technical name of the query (such as Z BPSQA_C4…) no longer appears in the
window’s title bar, so just the descriptive name for the query is displayed.
2. The Search button now resembles a magnifying glass and is displayed beside
the field (versus after a user has clicked into the field).
3. The
Personalization button has been moved to the left side of the input fields.

Changes for SAP BW Upgrade (cont.)
4. The function for multiple selections for certain fields now contains more options,
which may be used together to enter a combination of values as follows:
•
A new input field with a list button to enter inclusion/exclusion values (like
>= greater than or equal to) - leave blank to include all field values selected.
•
A range of fields ( from and to ) to enter a single value or a range of values.
• The
More button to enter multiple single values or ranges of values.
5. The buttons at the bottom of the window display the function names along with the
icon, in order to make the function of each button clearer.
The Transaction RRMX Is No Longer Part of the Menu Path:
For those who accessed the BEx tool via the SAP Menu folder, the menu path
(Business Explorer Æ RRMX) to locate transaction RRMX is no longer available .
1 Enter RRMX in the Command field.

Click on the Enter button.
SAP menu path for RRMX no longer available.
As taught in the SAP BW classes, to open the BEx tool:

If desired, you may add the transaction code to your
Favorites folder on the SAP BW Easy Access screen, and
just double click on the transaction code to open the BEx
tool. To add the transaction to your Favorites folder, follow
the menu path: Favorites Æ Insert transaction ; enter
