Creating business groups
You create business groups with the Business Group Wizard. You configure these properties of a business group:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name and description | You specify the name and the description of the business group. |
| Business units | Select the business units to add to the business group. |
| Currencies | Select the group currency of the business group and the currencies of the business units, whose values are imported. This is important for the currency translation. |
| Default mappings | You create general mappings of source tables to target dimensions. You can edit these mappings later and create further mappings. |
| Data transfer | You select the periods, whose data will be written from the source database to the OLAP cubes, when the OLAP database is created. |
Properties that you do not configure with the Business Group Wizard can be edited in the Properties dialog of the business group.
Mappings that you create with the wizard are displayed in the tree. You can edit them later.
To start the Business Group Wizard, right-click the Business Groups in the tree and select the command. To create a business group, take these steps:
