BI/BW transactions and information

The following transactions are useful for configuring BW/BI connections

RSMO - Monitor InfoPackages

RSADMIN - Set various parameters in BW, including the user ID responsible for running the jobs

RSA1 - Configure source systems etc in BW/BI system
RSA7 - View delta queue in source system

WE05 - View IDOCs
WE20 - Partner profiles
WE21 - Ports in IDOC processing

The user ID in the source and/or BW system needs the following profiles:
SAP_ALL
SAP_NEW
S_BI-WHM_RFC
S_BI-WX_RFC
S_RS_ALL
(SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW alone are not enough).

Error message:
"No IDocs could be sent to BW using RFC."

Check partner profiles (WE20)  in the source system (message type RSINFO and RSSEND) 
See SAP note 1964223 - No Idocs Arrived from the Source System 

Automate the running of process chains with variants by scheduling the program RSPROCESS appropriately
