BPC 7.5NW External Data Links

Hi All u2013
This question is in regards to a BPC 7.5 NW (SP8) input schedule stored in BPC with externally linked MS Excel 2007 spreadsheets stored outside BPC.
I have built an input schedule (which is stored in a team folder) and linked external excel spreadsheets into the schedule. My EVDRE is in Sheet1. Sheets2 u2013 5 contain the links to my non-BPC workbooks.
My problem is that when I use the u201CSend and Refresh Schedulesu201D u2013 u201CActive worksheetu201D, multiple windows pop-up for updating the links in the non-active (external data linked) worksheets. Does anyone have a better way to link data external to BPC in a schedule or report? If not, is there a way to stop these pop-ups?
Thank you!

Hi,
Can you try as follows:
workbook options> Refresh Options> Check EVDRE : Refresh by Sheet.
Hope it helps..
regards,
Raju

Error using External Data Link

I just downloaded the trail of Visio Pro 2013 to test our the ability to reverse-enigineer my Data Warehouse db, running on postgres. After getting the ODBC connection configured and tested, I was given a list of the tables in the DB I connected to. First
of all it doesn't appear to let you pick all of the tables to bring into your drawing, so I gues it's 1 entity (table) at a time. I picked a table and then an an error occurred: Microsoft Visio cannot connect to this data source. Then there is an error code
80004005: Error relation stdw.public.dimcalendar does not exist. Not sure how it can't exist all of a sudden since I pick the table from the list Visio gave me after getting connected to the DB. I tried another table, same result. What happened and how can
I get this error to go away? Thanks.

v2013 does not support reverse-engineering, the feature was dropped.

BPC 7.5NW Report Issues When Requesting Year To Date Data

Dynamic reports built with 2 row expansions (Cost Ctr, Account) up to 3 columns (not expansions, set to different categories with excel formulas for variance calculations...Act vs. Bud for example) result in error messages (error retrieving data and another related error messge) when requesting YTD data vs. Periodic data. The report runs fast and properly with Periodic measure. When running with the YTD measure, attempts to reduce the report data volume by removing comparative categories and removing formatting (after ranges) still results in YTD data retrieve errors.
Has anyone else had similar issues with BPC 7.5NW, SP9, and YTD data not pulling into reports? What are the common causes for issues with YTD data retrieval? Given the design by SAP of the BPC NW product and promotion of using BPC for both Periodic and YTD data, should I expect this report to work properly, meaning that I can get output with YTD data without long runtimes or errors that result in terminating the report? Thank you.

Design-Time Data with external url linking

I have a data list here:
http://facetmedia.com/new/
In the portfolio section I would like to make links which are clickable for the portfolio items. I now know how to use Flex Builder to make external URL links for regular buttons. What I don't know is how to edit this data list to create external links. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi trancepriest,
First, if you haven't already, you probably want to read some of the other posts here about creating a URL link button. Once you've tried doing that and feel comfortable setting up a simple URL link in a test project, then you can move on to integrating this functionality into your list.
Now -- the rest depends on how the data is represented in your list. From some of your other posts here, it actually sounds like you're no longer using a list at all, but rather just a tall layout of hardcoded items set inside a scrolling viewport. If this is the case, you can just repeat the simple button creation you did above, placing all the buttons in the appropriate places in your tall layout (on top of / next to each distinct "item" in the layout).
If you're still using a Data List with a Repeated Item, then the initial setup will be a little bit more tricky, but it will save you time in the long run since you only have to set up one button (which will then be repeated for each item). Here's how:
Find the "dataProvider" tag in the code.
Inside that will be a series of "Object" tags listing your current list data. Add a new "url" attribute to each tag, e.g. url="http://www.adobe.com".
Edit the Repeated Item's definition (in the source code, find the itemRenderer attribute on the List tag and ctrl+click it).
Create your URL link button inside there. But -- instead of typing in the URL as a string in quotes (as seen in other examples in this forum), use data.url to refer to the url attribute you added in step 2.
Hope that helps!

Dashboard with Webi Report link - Cannot access external data

Dear Gurus,
I've a dashboard with access to WEBI report for Language setting.
All works fine for the group: Administrators.
If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group and assign them normal power user group, I get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control / Power User on the
Universe,
the Connection
Dashboard itself,
WEBI Application
Webservices
Still it does not work.
As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
I've attached the screen shot for your reference
Cannot find service name=WS_Lang_Pref or you do not have the rights to view this service.

Hi Guys,
This error is fixed by maintaining the security profile for

Using a variable in an allocation routine in SAP BPC 7.5NW

Below is a very simple BPC allocation routine I wrote. The data originally sits on a dummy profit center and needs to be allocated to all itu2019s relevant profit centers. These relevant profit centers can be derived from the profit center hierarchy (BPC_ + ID of entity).
When I hardcode the Profitcenter and the entity, the routine works (as below). But what I really want is that it works variable as in the line that I commented out. Any idea whether this could work (BPC 7.5NW) ? If not, I am afraid I need to go to ABAP, which is really a pitty

Gersh,
It works now. I have implemented the below code (ENTITY needed to contain the variable as well). The relationship profitcenter and entity is very important as it derives the relevant profitcenters from the profit center hierarchy (e.g. all profitcenters under the legalentity node).

External Data Refresh failed - Unable to refresh list data in Excel Web Access WebPart

Hi,
I have created a PivotChart in Excel workbook that fetches data from a SharePoint list using "OData Data Feed". When refreshing the connection in Excel 2013, the updated data is displayed in PivotChart. But when i upload the same to a SharePoint
Library and refresh it through Excel Web Access WebPart, it throws an error.
After configuring PowerPivot for SharePoint, i am getting a "We cannot locate a server to load the Data Model" error.
Note -
SQL Analysis Service(PowerPivot) is in running state.
PowerPivot Server has been under Data Model in Excel Service setting.
The library location is added in trusted zone.
Using secure store didn't fix the issue.

Hi,
For your issue, the possible reason is that the SharePoint environment does not have a PowerPivot for SharePoint server, or the SQL Server Analysis Services (PowerPivot) service is stopped.
Install PowerPivot for SharePoint or move the PowerPivot workbook to a SharePoint environment that has PowerPivot for SharePoint installed.
If the software is installed, verify that the SQL Server Analysis Services (PowerPivot) instance is running. Check Manage services on server in Central Administration. Also check the Services console application in Administrative Tools.

External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. ThisWorkBookDataModel

Hi All,
I have been trying to fix this for days now. I have tried solutions in many articles but to no avail. So while the error message is something you may have seen may times, I just can't find a solution in my case.
This is the error:
And in text just in case the image isn't viewable:
"External Data Refresh Failed. We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model. We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook. The following connections failed to refresh: ThisWorkBookDataModel."
What is worse is I have checked the ULS (SharePoint Trace Logs), the Event Viewer Logs and the OWA Logs and I cannot find a specific error that would help pin point the problem.
Excel Workbook
So what am I doing? I have an Excel 2013 workbook and I create an "SQL Server" connection to the AdventureWorksDW database, add a pivot table and a pivot chart, test in in Excel and all works fine.
I save the Excel workbook to SharePoint 2013 and then select "Data" then "Refresh All Connections" and then I get the error in the picture above.
Even more puzzling is I have another Excel workbook that also has pivot tables and pivot charts in the AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional cube database in "SQL Analysis Services" and this works fine. Hmmm.
My Environment
My environment is Windows 2008 R2 Server, SharePoint 2013 with the April Service Pack1 and a separate server with OWA2013 SP1. It has an SQL Server 2008 R2 database which has been upgraded to SQL Server 2012.
Data Model Settings
In Excel Services this is set to my server name which is "server-name". As I do not have instances all I can enter is the server name. As this works everywhere else including the workbook outside of SharePoint I do not think this is the problem.
But I could be wrong.
Unattended Account
I have set this up for the PowerPivot Services App and Excel Services App.
ODC Connections in Excel
I have tried all 3 authentication modes, Windows, Secure Store ID and "None" which is the unattended account. I have not tried the other connection types, should I?
Not in WOPI
I am not in WOPI mode.
AD Accounts
I have added permissions in the SharePoint Services and SQL Server, and as they work in Excel outside of SharePoint, I do not think it is a permissions issue. I could be wrong of course, but the problem is in one of SharePoint, OWA, AD,
SQL Server, Excel, and Windows Server.
Isolate the Error
Below is a list of errors I think are relevant but they do not tell me much. The SharePoint logs are not really giving me an error that tells me what to do and where to do it, or even why it cannot refresh, (perhaps not noticeable by the untrained eye).
Problem with SQL Server Not Analysis Services
So my cube database in analysis services works fine in SharePoint/OWA but not the databases in sql server. This is my best clue but I have no idea what it means. Why would it work with an Analysis Services connection but not an "SQL Server" connection?
It Works Outside of SharePoint
If I run the excel worksheet outside of SharePoint all works fine. When inside OWA this is where the refresh error occurs.
Errors from Event Viewer on SharePoint Server using ULS Viewer
"Failed to create an external connection or execute a query. Provider message: There are no servers available or actively being initialized., ConnectionName: , Workbook:"
"Refresh failed for 'ThisWorkbookDataModel' in the workbook 'http://server...'. [Session: 1.V22.26itT0lx8piNFeqtuGVhN214.5.en-US5.en-US36.98c0e158-9113-46e9-850e-edda81d9ed1c1.A1.N User: 0#.w|ad\testuser1]"
And an error in the ULS under the "Data Model" category:
"--> Check Deployment Mode (server-name): Fail (Expected: SharePoint, Actual: Multidimensional)."
This last error, as it turned out, defined the problem concisely, although I was yet to work out what it meant in some detail.

I finally solved this myself (or should I say with the help of several key articles).
The refresh did not work because the database was not in "SharePoint Mode". Yes, SQL Server has modes, 3 of them in fact.
If you installed SharePoint to the default SQL instance which would be called <servername> then you cannot use this default instance for Excel 2013 workbooks in OWA 2013 because the refresh only works if the database is in SharePoint mode.
So what are these 3 modes? The Deployment Mode property in the msmdsrv.ini file has them as:
0 = Multidimensional mode (the default whenever you install SQL Server normally)
1 = PowerPivot for SharePoint mode
2 = Tabular mode mode
How do you know what mode you are in? That's easy, open SQL Studio Manager and connect to all your SQL database engine instances (ignore Analysis Services or SSRS as they are not database engines). If you only have the default instance then that is almost
definately in Multidimensional mode which is the default and what SharePoint installs its databases to.
You must have an instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT. This instance is the "sharepoint mode" needed, and the default instance name when you install an SQL instance in this mode.
If you don't see <servername>\POWERPIVOT in SQL server then you are not in "sharepoint mode". It is more accurate to say, you do not have an instance that is in sharepoint mode. This is because you cannot simply switch modes on an SQL server.
You have to install a new instance in the required mode, thats the only way.
That's easy enough. Load up the SQL Server setup CD and run setup. Install a brand new instance and select "SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint" when you get there in the wizard.
Now you will have the default instance that stores all the SharePoint databases and that is in mode 0, and a new instance called <servername>\POWERPIVOT that is in mode 1. The "<servername>\POWERPIVOT" instance connection is what you
will use for Excel 2013 when rendering in OWA 2013.
You also need to ensure OWA 2013 is not in WOPI mode for Excel worksheets. See the last link below for more information about WOPI.
Next you should go to the Excel Service App in CA and click Data Model Settings and add the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance.
Then you have to either turn off the firewall on the SQL server machine, or create an inbound rule on the Windows firewall to open the TCP port for the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance:
1. Start Task Manager and then click Services to get the PID of the MSOLAP$InstanceName.
2. Run netstat –ao –p TCP from the command line to view the TCP port information for that PID.
Finally, you can now create Excel 2013 workbooks that run in OWA without refresh errors, as long as you are connecting to the <servername>\POWERPIVOT instance. Hooray.

Is it possible to display external data in SAP B1 Grid?

Hi,
If the data reside in SAP B1 DB, it is normal. But if I have some data outside of SAP B1, for example in our old ERP system which is also a MS SQL db. Can I display it a SAP B1's grid? Reading external data shouldn't be a problem, but can I display it in a standard SAP B1 grid? I checked Grid object all method or properties, seems no way to load an external data source or manually create column and rows. Any idea?
Thanks,
Lan

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply. Can you describe more detail about how to map an UDF to other DB? I check the UDF management menu, I didn't see any menu which allows me to link to external DB. The only similar option is you can set a linked table for the UDF, but that only applies to the UDO table inside SAP B1 DB. Also, UDF is just a field and usually my external data is a query which returns me rows with mutiple columns. I tried the UDO table, nothing can be found to allow me connecting to an external DB.
Thanks,
Lan

Load external data into se-main-menu

hi,
i've tried to load external data (vars,files)into a selfmade
sony-ericsson-flash-menu for the w810i.
it is possible to load the data for the current active menu
via loadVariablesNum("application://focused", 0);
so i thought i could load some other stuff into the mainmenu.
i tried to load an swf with loadMovie/loadMovieNum.
i tried to load vars from a txt-file with
loadVariables/loadVariablesNum.
and i tried to open a webadress with getURL.
but nothing happens ... :(
the files (swf,txt) are in the same folder like the
mainMenu.(tpa\preset\system\desktop\flash)
maybe the w810 does not execute the swf in the same folder
where it is at the moment?!
is it possible to figure out where the swf is executed?
the _url command is not supported by flash-lite-1.x ...
some ideas?

Basic form with external data

I am not sure if I am overcomplicating something I am trying to do with designer/Acrobat.
I am trying to create an interactive work order.
Much of the basic layout has been done, and most of the fields are doing what I want them to do, though I still have a little here and there that needs some tweaking. But before I get to doing those, my primary focus is to have the form access external data.
For example. I have a table in the form that has the following fields.
Quantity Part Number Description Price Amount
Quantity, price and amount are all internal to the form itself, and are fillable by the user of the form, with the exception that the amount field is a calculated value based on the previous two. My intention is that these fields are only filled by the user of the form when needed.
My issue however is the Part Number and Description fields, which has me quite perplexed on what would be the best way to go.
From some of what I have read here and there in this forum and elsewhere, it seems that I have to have some kind of complex setup regarding sql servers if I want to use a simple database file (access for example) where I can edit as needed on the fly to pull data into the form as needed, using for example, a pulldown, to populate the two fields.
I can muddle through that for my personal needs, however, my intention is to provide the form to co-workers so they can use it without having to set up what I am seeing as extremely complex setup of installing and configuring sql servers and so forth. The computers will not be connected to any networks, these are field laptops.
What I was hoping was to provide the database with the pdf file and let the end user simply copy those to a folder and use them without much fuss, aside from them being able to edit the database file to add their own custom information. I was also considering adding in the ability for them to save and recall customer contact information as well.
I am not by any stretch of the imagination a programmer. I am a technician. I can figure out how to use access easily enough. But beyond this...well...its all greek to me if you get my gist.
Am I overcomplicating the matter. Is there an easier approach to what I want to do? Are there any complete samples (includes all the files needed) available that I can use and study to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Appreciate any input from you folks here.
Thanks.

Hi,
There are (at least) two ways of approaching this.
One is to have the Part No. and Description in an external source (eg database) and then set up a data connection in the form to access this information. One problem is that if the user are using Adobe Reader, then the data connections will not work. See summary of deployment options here: https://acrobat.com/#d=3lGJZAZuOmk8h86HCWyJKg
Another option is to hard wire the Part No and Description into the form. There is an example here and links to a tutorial on Acrobat Users website. Linking Drop Down Fields / Combo Boxes
Good luck,
Niall

UCCX 10 CUIC Custom Report (using external data source)

Hi.
We have a customer where we are storing information in an external data source. We would like to built a report and import that report into their UCCX CUIC System in order for the customer to have the new report along side with the UCCX built-in reports. We need to add the external data source to CUIC but I'm not sure if the strip CUIC version of UCCX can allow that. Is that possible?
I know that with CUIC Premium we can add third party data sources into the CUIC. The Premium CUIC NFR allows that and we can create the report but for it to work in UCCX we need to add the external data source to CUIC.
What are my options? If any?
Thanks in advanced,
-Jose

Hi Jose,
You can basically build custom reports on a standalone CUIC server and import them to the CUIC on UCCX.
But I am not sure if this datasource is continuously polling information from the DB and giving it to the report and if this is possible.
Please refer to the link below for creating the custom reports on CUIC in UCCX:

Internal+External Data In One Digital Signature

Is it possible to generate a single digital signature for both external data (a file) and internal data (XML metadata relevant to the file)? From the Java Digital Signature API documentation, it would appear that "detached" can handle external data OR internal "sibling" data but not both. And it would appear that both "enveloping" and "enveloped" are strictly internal. If the answer is "yes", a link to sample code would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you just have to create more than one Reference when generating the signature.
One of the references should point to the external file (probably using a file URI) and the
other reference URI should point to the internal data.

BPC 7.5NW consolidation error

Hi,
We are using BPC 7.5 NW version (7.50.04). We changed standard dimension 'GROUPS' to dimension type 'R' and included it in our legal applications.
We are using below logic to run both currency conversion and legal consolidation.
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
      CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
      GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
      TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
      RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
*RUN_PROGRAM CONSOLIDATION
    CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
    GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
    TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
The standard data manager package with process chain 'LEGAL_CONSOLIDATION' fails with error message 'Member "G_CG2" not exist'. G_CG2 is a member of GROUP dimension. When we executed the below logic (with hardcoded variables) in BW transaction UJKT, it worked fine and posted values correctly.
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
      CATEGORY = C_100
      GROUP = G_CG2
      TID_RA = 2008.DEC
      RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
*RUN_PROGRAM CONSOLIDATION
    CATEGORY = C_100
    GROUP = G_CG2
    TID_RA = 2008.DEC
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Any idea, why system is not able to recognize 'G_CG2' when we use data manager package? In BPC 7.5NW, is it mandatory to use both 'R' and 'G' type dimensions? SAP Help has different contradictory views !!!

Hi Nilanjan,
We are using 'GROUPS' dimension of type 'R'.
The above dimension has members of both GROUPS and CURRENCY (ex: G_CG1, G_CG2, LC, USD etc).
1) Run currency translation for 'USD'. The logic works fine if i change it as follows:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
CURRENCY = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
2) Run currency translation for 'G_CG2'. The logic works if i change it as follows:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
3) Run COI for 'G_CG2'. The logic works if i change it as follows:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
4) The logic is executed successfully from BW UJKT if i hardcode the values for 'GROUPS' dimension.
