In this chapter we review the new integration of SAP Business Objects
Lifecycle Manager with the enhanced change and transport system (CTS+)
from SAP NetWeaver.
15 Integrating SAP BusinessObjects
Lifecycle Manager with CTS+
As part of the SAP Business Objects BI 4.x release, the SAP Business Objects Lifecycle
Manager has been integrated with the enhanced change and transport environment
(CTS+), so that you as an administrator can leverage a familiar environment to move
content-related objects from you development system to your quality system, and
nally to your production environment.
In this chapter, we will clarify the technical prerequisites for this integration and
then show you how to congure the environments so that you can take advantage
of this integration as part of your SAP Business Objects BI landscape.
Overall this integration requires three main steps:
1. Conguration of CTS+.
2. Conguration of BOLM as an application type.
3. Conguration of your SAP Business Objects BI environment.
15.1 Technical Prerequisites
If you are considering using this new integration of SAP Business Objects Lifecycle
Manager and CTS+, these are the minimum system requirements:
E
SAP Solution Manager 7.01 Service Pack 25 or SAP Solution Manager 7.1 con-
gured as a CTS system.

E
The CTS plug-in installed on the SAP Solution Manager environment.
E
SAP Business Objects BI 4.0 Feature Pack 03 (FP3).
SAP Business Objects BI 4.0 (prior to FP3)
The integration outlined below is also possible with SAP Business Objects BI 4.0, before
the release of FP3, but the conguration steps are different. This chapter focuses on
the FP3 release.
Figure 15.1 shows the required components for this integration and the process
ow. As you can see from the gure, the following is required:
E
You need an SAP Business Objects BI 4.0 FP3 environment. Ideally, you have
one environment for development purposes, one for quality testing, and one
for the production environment. In Figure 15.1, these environments are BI4_DEV,
BI4_QA, and BI4_PROD.
E
In addition, you need access to the SAP NetWeaver BW environment. Again,
you should have one environment for development purposes, one for quality
testing, and one for the production environment. In Figure 15.1, these environ-
mets are BW_DEV, BW_QA, and BW_PROD.
E
You also need to have an environment where the SAP Business Objects Lifecycle
Manager frontend application is deployed. The SAP Business Objects Lifecycle
Manager frontend application requires a Java application server. Please be sure
to check the list of supported Java application servers at http://service.sap.com/
bosap-support. In Figure 15.1, this system is shown as LCM_1.
E
You also need a SAP Solution Manager environment with a congured CTS plug-
in. The CTS plug-in is part of the Software Logistics (SL) Toolset 1.0 service pack
02. You can use either SAP Solution Manager 7.1 in combination with the SL
Toolset 1.0 service pack 02 or the SAP Solution Manager 7.0 enhancement pack-
age 01 service pack 25 with the SL Toolset 1.0 service pack 02. In Figure 15.1,
this system is shown as Solution Manager.

Figure 15.1 Required Components for the Integration of CTS+ and SAP Business Objects Lifecycle
Manager
When you use the SAP Business Objects Lifecycle Manager frontend and select
the objects from your SAP Business Objects BI system, you are given the option to
leverage the CTS+ integration and move the selected content in the form of ABAP
transports. The SAP Business Objects Lifecycle Manager frontend tool collects the
objects from the SAP Business Objects BI system (
1
) and uses the interface to the
CTS system to add the selected objects to an ABAP transport request (
2
). After the
transport request has been exported to the SAP NetWeaver BW system (
3
), you
are able to release the transport request (
4
), and the objects are imported into the
SAP Business Objects BI system (BI4_QA).
Important Notes on the Lifecycle Manager Integration
In regard to the conguration and installation of the integration of SAP Business Objects
Lifecycle Manager with CTS+, you can also see the following notes for important
information:
E
