Activating audit for Dimension Members in BPC 7.5 NW

Hi,
Is it possible to activate dimension member audit in BPC 7.5 NW. Meaning, can we trace changes to master data (dimension members) in BPC 7.5 NW?
Best regard
SSC

Hi,
The Activity Auditing tracks Administrative and User tasks at the Appset level.
This will be controlled by the Administrators to check whether activity auditing is enabled or not.
To enable this future go to -> Administration for the Web, choose Manage Activity Audit -> then choose one or both types of activities to audit.
Please check the help file for the same.

Valid Combinations for DImension Members

Hi All,
We have dimensions for Cost Center and Company code in one of our BPC Applications..Is there a way we can avoid users planning for incorrect combinations?
E.g. -
Valid Combinations -
Cost Center 1 >>>Company Code 1000
Cost Center 2 >>>Company Code 2000
In case the user selects Cost Center 1 & Company code 2000 in current view and enters plan values - the system should not allow the same...Is there a way to maintain valid combinations for dimension members (belonging to different dimensions) in BPC???

Hi Shibu,
It was just an example, to show you how to control the combinations. You might have to design it based on the exact business requirement.
Please note that this wont be a straight-forward process, and you might have to use some VB macros to ensure you get, what you require.
Lets say, based on the expansion, you have 5 company codes to be displayed in the template. You should, first, use an EVEXP function to list all the 5 company codes in some empty region of the template. Use a macro to concatenate all the 5 company codes separated by "|". Then, for the expansion on cost centers, you should again use a macro which will consider each of the 5 company codes at a time, and set the expansion to "P_COMPANY = ABC". Since you have 5 company codes, hence you will have 5 such combinations of member filter pertaining to each of the 5 company codes. Then you must concatenate them using "|", and this should be the memberset option for the cost center dimension.
I understand that this is going to be a bit complex, but I dont see any other option.
Hope this helps.

Activating Changes in Dimension without Closing BPC for Admin

Hi,
How do i activate the changes made in dimension tables without having to close "BPC for Admin"?
Cheers

Closing the admin console has no impact, except if you have earlier taken the system offline and are reminded to bring the system back online when you exit.
To activate the changes from the admin perspective, you need to process the dimension. If it's a secured dimension, you may also need to process the application, and update member access profiles as appropriate. If you're adding a new property to the dimension, you'll need to populate the property values & process the dimension from the member sheet.
Once the admin processing is through, end users will either need to exit Excel & log in again (the guaranteed solution), or eTools -> refresh dimension members. This second option is faster, but doesn't always update dim properties completely, if you're developing a report that uses that modified property. Sometimes closing & re-opening the XLS file seems to do the trick, but exiting Excel is the sure way.

Dimension Members in BPC is not updating

Dear Friends,
I have trasfered the values of the 0GL_ACCOUNt to the account dim of my appset in BW using the transformation and i could see the values in the BPC display dimension members.
But simillary i have created the transformation and uploaded the values of the 0Move_type to the flow dimension and am trying to view the same in the BPC but am not getting any valuess in dimension member list of the Flow dim.
I too closed and reopened the admin console. What could be the reason, kindly suggest.
Thanks
Prem

There is a task in the Action Pane from BPC Administration to Refresh client dimension members. Try it. Also try to save and process your dimension again. Finally, hate to state the obvious but make sure your DTP loaded to the right infoobject which was generated from BPC. Do you see the master data in BW from RSD1?

We have assign user access to Dimension members in Planning. I just want to know, which is the RDBMS table where i can get detail of the access for some reporting purpose.
Pls its very urgent

How to specify what is displayed for dimension members in the Crosstab

Is there a way to programatically specify what the Crosstab displays for each dimension member. I want to be able to switch between the short label and long label of the member data. Thanks

Hi,
At the moment there is no facility to do this. However, the next version of BI Beans which will be shown at Oracle World in September should have this capability.
Hope this helps

Looking for BPC user contacts with large numbers of dimension members

I would like to make contact with other BPC users that have multiple dimensions with dimension members in excess of 10K.
Thanks,

Hi Helene,
With 3,000 members you should not be experiencing these problems, if your report is designed properly.
I'm running BPC 5.1 SP8 on SQL 2005, with a dimension containing 22,000 members. Client PC's are typical (XP, Excel 2007, 1 or 2 gig RAM).
Using EVDRE and this dimension expanding on the rows, most reports & input schedules can expand & refresh in the range of 10 to 30 seconds.
The faster times are when I use a row expansion memberset using dimension properties, such as Active="X". The slower times are when the memberset is hierarchy-based, such as BAS.
If you're using a dynamic template (one using EVEXP for the expansion) then you should start over using EVDRE. It will be much faster, particularly if you optimize your row expansion.
It's often a good idea to add dimension properties specifically for the purpose of optimizing the report expansion, if the dimension has thousands of members. I sometimes go as far as to add properties which mimic the hierarchy (MyLevel2, MyLevel3, etc) just for this purpose.

Cannot maintain dimension members in SAP BPC

Hello, Masters in BPC
I have just create mention and want to input data, I used maintain dimension members CUSTOMER in SAP BPC but It seem not effect although I press Process dimension already and I open excel and paste data also saved them already. When I open other dimension and reopen CUSTOMER but nothing is shown.
Please give me a advice to resolve the problem.
Thanks you so much.
Best Regards
Chinh

Dear Raju,
Yes, I did it some times but nothing is happen,
I maintain dimension members, I did it as below:
- Choose maintain dimension members
- copy data from excel file and paste into the dimension
- click process dimension
Show a dialog
- Uncheck Take system offine
This task is successful.
but I go to dimension ACCOUNT in order to insert data,
I came back maintain dimension members : CUSTOMER but I see no data is displayed.
It is the same for ACCOUNT when I want to see data on that dimension
when I try one more time , I click save to server, The Error message show that : Dump Error
I reinstall BPC client and its patch but nothing to change
How can I do???
Thanks

Setting "Aggregation For Plan" for Scenario members in Dimension Library

In the Dimension Library, I have a Scenario which has two members (B and C) which roll up to a parent member (A). Unlike the other types of dimensions, I am unable set the Aggregation as the properties (Aggregation for Plan 1, Aggregation for Plan 2, Aggregation for Plan 3) are not available under the Planning category.
If I view the outline in EAS, I am able to modify the aggregation for the A and B members directly but I'm unsure as to what impact this would have on the planning application.
Any ideas why the properties aren't available? The BPMA Administrators guide seems to suggest I should be able to do this.
Can I go ahead and modify the members direct in EAS?
Cheers.

I did take a look at the custom dimension and it's members with their storage properties both in DEV and PROD and there were NO Dynamic/Label Only members. Checked the relational database as well and it too showed that there were no members with Dynamic/Label Only storage properties in the custom dimension.
To my surprise this morning, when I checked the numbers in EAS the two columns had the same numbers. It looks like its fixed now as the IMPLIED_SHARE setting took effect and both the "Members in Dimension" = "Members Stored".
I noticed that the server team had stopped and started all the server again yesterday night sometime in DEV so maybe that's when the setting actually took affect and for some reason it didnt take affect the first time they restarted the servers Or maybe because I refreshed the database again from workspace this morning. I am not sure which one fixed it.
Thanks Celvin for your time and inputs.

BPC Dimension Members displayed as numbers/index in HANA tables

Hi,
I used the following post from Selva BPC tables in HANA to lookup a BPC model in HANA. However all the dimensions members are represented by numbers/index instead of the actual dimension member description. Is there a way in HANA to see the actual dimension member instead of an index value?
e.g. Category Actual is displayed as 2 and Category Plan as 3 and so on.
Please refer to the screenshot
yogesh

BW also has the values in text correctly. I am not sure if only the dimension member index value is passed on to HANA.

Display aggregate total for multiple members of a dimension.

When multiple members of a dimension are selected in a row or column in Financial Reporting tool, it tends to display the result in multiple rows or columns. Is it possible to display the aggregate value of all the members and not display the individual details. I have tried the Auto Calculation which shows the "Total" but also shows the Individual members that were selected in multiple rows or columns. Any suggestions would be great.
Ajay.

Brian, I will post all my future questions in the Reporting Forum as you suggested. Coming back to my question, I do not want to display all the Individual members that I had selected in the report. I only need the aggregate value (Custom Totals) of all the Dimension members together.
eg: If I choose the following account members in one row (Salaries, Bonus, Advertising), I do not want to display the individual line items for the three members, I only need one row called "Expenses" that has the aggregate value for the three members. Essbase by default (even if I don't select "place selections in separate columns" ) will put the members in separate rows or columns.
Thanks.

How to check for a large cube (100K or more dimension members)

Hi Experts,
We have a customer with trouble returning large data sets. How can I check for a large cube (100K or more dimension members) on BI7?
Is there a tuning parameter in BW to increase the result buffer?
Thanks!
Sapna

You can do a count of the n° of entries in the dimension tables.
But that's a pain in the ***.
You might consider running program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS.
This program gives a list of all infocubes with a ratio between the dimensions and fact table.
So you can see if a cube is well-designed or not.

How can I manage access to dimension members in a layout?

Hello,
I have a dimension member list of materials (400) on a "material" dimension. But some people have access to one portion of the whole group and others may have access to other groups. But the materials can be shared between groups so I cannot group them in differents hierarchies.
The problem is in the layout you need to select a hierachy to show various rows (the whole group of materiales). The layout shows all the list of materials. Even if the user only have access to 10 of them. I don't know how is the best way for presenting this to the user? It should presents only the 10 rows corresponding to his materials.
One way that I found (but I don't find it acceptable because of the hard effort that represents the maintenance) is to create differents member access profiles and denied the access to each material (dimension member - 390) that the user cannot modified. Then in excel I have to run a macro that hides all the rows that have an empty description in the cell of the material name.
How can I achive this?
Is there a function in BPC to see if a user have access or not to a dimension member?
The only way to show in a layout various rows is to set in the view a hierarchy?
Thanks & Regards
SU

hi
pl. verify whether this will suit your requirements:
Material           UG1           UG2
MAT1               Y
MAT2                                 Y
MAT3               Y
MAT4                                 Y
MAT5               Y               Y
Now UG1,UG2 diff user groups and property in Material. Assignment of Y is one time job.
At the time of accessing the dimension members can restrict on the basis of UG1="Y" or UG2="Y" property
Here MAT5 is common in both UG1 and UG2
(Hardly may have 3-4 set of users: Accordingly can have UG1,UG2,UG3,UG4 etc.)

Automatic creation of new dimension members

Hello all,
Bit of a long post so please bear with me.
I am about to embark on only my third BPC project after having spent several years implementing solutions using BusinessObjects Planning (formerly SRC software), and am still struggling to come up with an elegant solution to the fact that I cannot save data to dimension elements unless they are already explicitly defined in the dimension member list (presumably due to cube architecture).
Those of you who have used BOP/SRC will remember this as unvalidated dimensions.
I find having to first go to admin and pre create members before being able to use an input schedule to save data against them is very restrictive.
I'm hoping one of you guys can help me improve on the workaround I currently use.
For example I have a 'bid submission' input schedule that is used by the user to submit bids for increased budget, capital or revenue, capturing basic costs and commentary. The user selects a bid number from a combo box which is populated by using an EVLST formula to read in pre created dimension members. I have to save a flag to the db which I then use to exclude already used numbers when feeding the combo box on future submissions.
Which works ok but if I have a hierarchy on bid number based on say, cost centre, how do I get around the fact that number ranges have to be pre-assigned to cost centre, Cost Centre A = 1 to 1000, Cost Centre B = 1001 to 2000 etc. What happens if I go over the 1000 on Cost centre A? I then get non contiguous ranges per cost centre.
Is it possible for the bid number to be dictated by the user when they start to fill in the bid submission? Or give the impression that they are?
Or if the client has a bid number format that cannot be pre created? Eg incorporating things like year or person etc. This information could be save separately but not within the bid number. Is it possible to save data to dimension property columns from an input schedule?
Hope you guys can help
Many thanks
Phil
