Creating a PowerCenter Workflow for an SAP BI Session

After you configure an SAP BI session, create a PowerCenter workflow to execute the session. The following restrictions apply to workflows containing sessions that load SAP BI targets:

The workflow name in the repository must match the workflow name in the InfoPackage.
When you create the InfoPackage, you include the workflow name. The PowerCenter Integration Service validates the workflow name in the repository and the workflow name in the InfoPackage. These names must match exactly, including case.

Configure the workflow to run on demand.
You can configure the schedule when you create the InfoPackage in SAP BI. You cannot schedule a PowerCenter workflow to load data into SAP BI.

In the Workflow Designer, click

Create

In the workflow properties, accept the default workflow name or rename the workflow.

Make sure the workflow name in the workflow properties matches both the workflow name in the InfoPackage and the SAP BI session name.

Select the PowerCenter Integration Service name you configured in the SAP BW Service properties.

The PowerCenter Integration Service runs the workflow and uses the session to load data into SAP BI.
