SAP Convergent Charging 2020 FP0 Installation with HANA 2.0 Database- Part 3- BART Server installation

Introduction:-

This is the third article, I am publishing on the subject of installing SAP Convergent Charging 2020. In part 1 and 2, I have explained the technical details and the Core server installation. In this blog post, I will be explaining the steps to install BART server.

I have shared the links for part 1 and 2 in reference. Please check those before reading this article.

Installation Steps:-

BART Server can be deployed on:

• • Existing host that already contains other CC services like Core server
  • New host which is dedicated for BART server

• Prerequisites:-

  • Install HANA DB and create a BART DB admin user with below roles and privileges to connect. I took the name of the user as BART. You can select a different user name.

• • Create a service user in Core server and assign below roles. Also assign the security profile as a service user. Again I took the user name as BART. You can create a user with different name.

• BART System details:-

  • • BART SID                     : ABB

• Installation Steps

  • Run SWPM -> SAP Convergent Charging -> Install -> Standard System Installation -> BART Serve
  • Select SID and Mount point
  • Provide master password
  • Select the database/host and update the admin user created in db.

• • Provide CA and SLD details if already setup. You can skip if not already setup.
  • Select the security mode for communication.
  • Select BART server settings
  • Select the encryption level for the connection to Core server
  • Enter the connection parameters for Core server

• Login to BART Server

  • Create a user in Core server with a role Batch Rating Administrator
  • Go to /usr/sap/bart_tool/bart_tool/bin
  • Run ./bart_tool.sh with <sid>adm user

• SAP MC status

• 

Conclusion:-

• Completed the BART server installation for CC 2020 with HANA 2.0 database.
• I will be sharing another blog post of various tools and their usage available in convergent charging.
• CC can be integrated to S4HANA for rating and charging.
• You can use convergent Mediation system to collect the raw data from various sources. Mediation then process those and transform it in to CC readable format.
