Post-Installation
This section includes the post-installation steps that you have to perform.
1. After the installation and before you start working with SAP BW⁄4HANA, you need to run tasklist
SAP_BW4_SETUP_SIMPLE in transaction STC01. This tasklist performs the basic system setup tasks, like creating and
con guring the SAP BW⁄4HANA background user, setting the SAP BW⁄4HANA client and installing the essential technical
content (content objects, mainly InfoObjects and variables which are needed to make SAP BW⁄4HANA work).
In the SAP BW⁄4HANA use case as a data warehouse, the maximum scope is required. Please therefore set the parameter
to 16 in the tasklist.
Note
It is not possible to remove an operating scope using a lower number. You can always add usages to the SAP
BW⁄4HANA system by increasing the operating scope.
With SAP BW⁄4HANA comes a Web Administration tool called SAP BW⁄4HANA Cockpit. To enable it, run tasklist
SAP_BW4_LAUNCHPAD_SETUP.
2. After running the task list, use the Implementation Guide (IMG) to add further settings.
Note
We are working on including more settings from IMG in this tasklist in order to enable further automation. After applying
a Support Package, run tasklist SAP_BW4_AFTER_UPDATE to update your essential objects if required by SAP. More
details can be found in the documentation of the tasklist. Please run also SAP_BW4_LAUNCHPAD_SETUP once again
after implementing a Support Package.
3. You must install a permanent SAP license. When you install your SAP system, a temporary license is automatically
installed.
Caution
Before the temporary license expires, you must apply for a permanent license key from SAP. We recommend applying
for a permanent license key as soon as possible after installing your system.
For more information about SAP license keys and how to obtain them, see http://support.sap.com/licensekey .
