Random issues faced during Business Process Monitoring (BPM) configuration on Solman 7.2

In this blog i will try to note some issues I faced during configuration of Business Process Operations. Issues are peculiar and might not be relevant for everyone.

A. Issue with Solman_setup -> Basic Configuration -> Activation of BW content (For UPL, RCA…)

During this i faced issue activating BW content. Error is as below. No other logs in SLG1 or ST22 in the system.

bw content error

Solution: I had to restore the logical BW system from RSA1 to fix the issue.

RSA1 -> Modeling -> Source System -> BW -> Logical System

Ran activation again from Solman_Setup and everything went fine.

bw content error1

Probable Cause: We did a client copy to create a new client and something went wrong while running BDLS.

B. Issue with Solman_Setup -> Basic BPO Configuration -> Configure Solution Manager -> Configure Automatically

Activity “Activate BW Cubes” runs into error “BW content not activated”

bw content error2

Solution: Activated the related cubes ( 0SM_BPM, 0SM_BPMRH, OSM_BPMRD) manually from RSA1 as suggested by SAP Note 2434326.

C. Business process monitoring tile is not visible in Solman_workcenter.
