The Plan and Report with IBPF lab will take you through a planning and ECC integrationlife cycle from and end user perspectiveThere is a business scenario that will be followed for the rest of the labs except the lasttwo (in the End to End lesson). The business requirement that you will follow calls for theuse of a provisional characteristic that will allow the addition of master data in addition towhat exists in ECC. Although you may not require this at your client or place of business itis nonetheless a great way to learn how to adapt the SFIN off the shelf content.The labs focus on adapting delivered SFIN content as opposed to bare metal scenariossince that will be theme on IBPF projects.During the course you will get plenty of hands on in BW, IP, HANA, Analysis, ECC andBPC which is quite a bit - just remember that there are literally dozens of classes thataddress these topics. There is a list of classes near the end of the course manual.

Course Landscape
.
HANA
Both BW and ECC (ERP) reside on the same server - and the same data base. Allactivities can be performed on the ECC client unless the Warehousing Workbench isneeded in which case you will use client 900 for class. In most customer installations,only one client will be used. We are only using two clients because it is a training server.
ECC - Client 800: ECC 6.0 EHP 7 SPS07BW - Client 900: BW 740 SPS11HANA Database SPS9 - Rev 93BPC 10.1 Embedded sp06HANA content: SAP Hana live for sFlN 2.0Analysis for Office 2.0 SP3
EDW BW systems should be on a separate HANA data base so that BW data loads donot interfere with ECC transaction processing
