Create a Package
Use the following steps to create a package in Framework Manager using SAP BW
metadata.
Procedure
1. Click the Packages folder, and from the Actions menu, click Create , Package .
2. In the Provide Name page, type the name for the package and, if you want, a
description and screen tip. Click Next .
3. Select the query that you imported in the previous section.
For more information, see “Creating a BW Query in SAP Business Explorer
Query Designer” on page 340.
4. In the Define objects page, when hiding or excluding child objects from the
package, you must select each of them individually. Excluding parent objects
also exclude all of its children. Note that excluding (or unselecting) many
objects from larger cubes will require a significant amount of time.
Note: Framework Manager supports ctrl+shift and alt+shift functionality. Use
these keystrokes to select multiple objects that you wish to include or hide in
the cube. For example, if you wish to only include two items in a large branch,
select the entire branch, then use ctrl+shift to de-select the items you wish to
include, and hide the remaining selected items.
For more information about including, excluding and hiding objects, see
"Create or Modify a Package" in the Framework Manager
User Guide .
