Activating the BW Software Component

As per different operating modes of BW there is a need to activate SAP_BW component in the NetWeaver based systems to indicate that BW is configured/used. There is a dedicated database table that indicates what software components of the NetWeaver are used.  The table is called CVERS_ACT (Active Software Components in the System) and indicator is ACTIVE column. If the ACTIVE columns is set to X the particular component is used within the system.



There is e.g. Function module DELIVERY_SET_ACTIVE_COMPONENT or RS_SET_ACTIVE_COMPONENT_FLAG that sets the ACTIVE column for specific software component.
