Hello,
We are running BI Platform version 4.1 SP7. In combination with Analysis for Office Add-On, we utilize Excel report those workbooks contain SAP BW Objects such as Bex Query.
Till now when a SAP BW Object (Bex Query) is modified and transported to the next level of the system landscape (DEV->QAS->PROD), we must in parallel manually promote (for example from DEV to QAS...) the BO Workbooks that point to this SAP BW Object.
Our key-users would like to have the possibility to automate (-or combine) the BW transport and the BO Promotion job.
In the BO Platform guide, in chapter 15.8, it describes the integration of BI System and BW landscape to the CTS(+). The usage of BO system and CTS+ is not clear for us. Refering to the guide : "BI platform infoobjects can use SAP Business Warehouse content as a data source. The integration of CTS+ with the promotion management tool enables the handling of the BI platform repository, in a similar way to the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) repository, by using CTS transport requests to promote jobs. CTS+ provides an option to transport non-SAP objects within a system landscape. For example, objects created in the development system can be attached to a transport request and forwarded to other systems within the landscape"
Does it mean that once BO and BW are integrated to CTS(+), one can automate and synchronize a change in both systems by means of CTS transport ?
For example when a change has been initiate in BW and therefore transported to the next system of the route, CTS+ acknowledge the transport and trigger in parallel a transport of the corresponding object in the BO landscape ?

Before implementing CTS+ for BI Platform, we want to make sure to understand this feature.
thanks and best regards,
