SAP BW InfoObject Catalogs Creation

In the previous post of SAP BW series we have dealt with creation of SAP INFO AREA for business ware housing. Here in continuation with that we are going to discuss regarding info object catalog creation.

Before we can create an Info Cube, we must have Info Objects. Before we can create Info Objects, however, we must have Info Object Catalogs. Because characteristics and key figures are different types of objects, we organize them within their own separate folders, which are called Info Object Catalogs. Like Info Cubes, Info Object Catalogs are listed under Info Areas.

InfoObject Catalogs hold characteristics and key figures of info area.

Here is the step by step process.

1 . Click InfoObjects under Modelling in the left panel. In the right panel, right-click InfoArea – demo, and select Create InfoObject catalog….


2 . Enter a name and a description for the InfoObject Catalog, select the option Char., and then click the symbol shown in the diagram below to create the InfoObject Catalog.

3 . In the new window, click the check symbol to check the Info Object Catalog. If it is valid, click activate symbol as shown to activate the InfoObject Catalog. Once the activation process is finished, the status message InfoObject catalog IOC_DEMO_CH activated appears at the bottom of the screen.

You can check the result as Click the back symbol to return to the previous screen. The newly created InfoObject Catalog will be displayed.

Following the same procedure, we create an InfoObject Catalog to hold key figures. This time, make sure that the option Key figure is selected as shown below.
