Automate excel circular references - script logic - BPC

Hi,
I need to automate in BPC the calculation of financial debt that contains excel circular references, so you have to enable the calculation Automatic iterations properly to work.
I would like to automate the process through a script logic.
I appreciate any help or suggestions.
Regards,
Fernando Chávez.

Dear Fernando Chávez,
I just want to give you simple suggestions because I don't know your case exactly. The script logic is similiar with SQL script. You could put your logic script in default.lgf or make new file .lgf through BPC Administration Console. If you put it in default.lgf, the SAP BPC will execute it when user sent values through BPC Excel. You also could run the script logic through Data Manager Packages, its runs depend on user execution.
If we are talking about circular and complex formulas in Ms.Excel, I suggest you put your calculation in another worksheet and send values through BPC Excel. Before you define a script logic, the number one is you should to consider performance because its really critical.
Kind Regards,
Wandi Sutandi

How to test, if LC is set to 0 in Script Logic BPC MS 7.0

HI Experts,
I am using BPC MS 7.0
Here is what I need. When the LC value is set to zero (0), I need to reset all the reporting currencies to zero.
unfortunately, i donthave access to the backend, so here I am testing if it is 0, null or space. but still the logic doesn't work.
*WHEN RPTCURRENCY
      *IS LC
         *WHEN SIGNEDDATA
         *IS 0, NULL
            *FOR %RPT_CURR% = %RPT_CURR%
                 *REC(EXPRESSION = 0, RPTCURRENCY="%RPT_CURR%")
             *NEXT
         *ENDWHEN
    *ENDWHEN
   *ENDWHEN
I tried this too
*WHEN GET(CURRENCYDIM = "LC")
      *IS 0, NULL, " "
            *FOR %RPT_CURR% = %RPT_CURR%
                 *REC(EXPRESSION = 0, RPTCURRENCY="%RPT_CURR%")
             *NEXT
       *ENDWHEN
I tried several variations of the above logics, but nothing seems to be working..
Appreciate your help

Script Logic choice SQL or MDX in NW release?

Hi experts,
I have encountered some opposite arguments in forum. Please can you clarify NW release script logic choice should be as MS release?
In [Script Logic BPC MS (SQL) vs. NW (ABAP); Tim Klem states
- "Write the logic using BPC SQL script logic syntax (not MDX) for performance reasons" but this opinion based on MS version. How about NW release is it really smarter to select SQL Script rather than MDX.
There is another statement in [Re: BPC 7 NW; Deppak mentions that:
- "In BPC 5.1 the script formula approach suggests to use SQL based logic instead of MDX.
Whereas in Teched,08, I learnt that MDX & ABAP (using BADIs) would be used for it. Thats why I am slightly confused...."
But second statement is far beyond NW relase date and I am sure this is not true but I would like you to confirm that.
If you were a project responsible and want that all scripts will be held in one language, what would you choose??
Thanks in advance,
ergin ozturk

Hi Ergin,
I can understand your approach not to use ABAP hence you miss the skills witin your project team.
However, you (or you client) has chosen the NetWeaver version for whatever reason. I'm sure a thorough decisions process has lead to this decision. In choosing the NetWeaver version with SAP BI you will sooner or later come to the point that you will have to use ABAP if you like it or not. Especially when you start using further capabilities within NetWeaver and the BI solutions. So from my point of view ABAP knowledge is an essential skill you need in a project based on SAP NetWeaver anyway.
Additionally I heared some statements that MDX is causing some performance issues on the NetWeaver version. This may have been fixed in the meantime with some SPs.
As the SQL within the NetWeaver verison does not have the full functionality than it has in MS Version SQL is not an option for me.
I do also not see the cost impact hence someone need to do the support anyway. In case of MDX you need an MDX developer, in case of ABAP and ABAP developer. Or a technical BPC consultant able to do the development (which I would recommend you should have in your project team anyway).
So coming back to your original question, I would recommend to do as much as possible using ABAP BADIs.
Cheers,
Steffen

SAP Bpc: automate script logic validation

Is there a way to automate the validation of the SAP BPC script logics?
I ask you that because I have daily SSIS packages and, actually, if I don't manually vaildate the logics every time, using SAP BPC administration interface, the new members are not cosidered into the application.
I tryed the BPC SSIS "Adimin Task" (using Validate Logic mode) but it only checks if the syntax of the logic is correct or not.

Thanx for the replay but, unfortunatly, I think it's not useful for my case.
I use SSIS packages to populate dimensions (such as Employees). In these packages I have BPC Admin Task (in create dimension mode) and it works fine.
The problem is > if I don't go into SAP BPC Administration Console to "Validate and Save" the script logics manually > inside the .lgx file there aren't into XDIM_MEMBERSET the new data I previously imported throught the SSIS packages above (in the exemple the new Employees).
Beeing not into the XDIM_MEMBERSET, the script logic executed by the users excel input schedules cannot manage the new set of data... until I "Validate and Save" the logic manually.

Send parameter from one script logic to another. SAP BPC 7.5 NW.

Hello!
Before i start, want to apologize for my English.
We work on SAP BPC 7.5 for NetWeaver.
In general, we want to send parameter from one Script logic file to another script logic file.
I will explain why :
1. We have parametr like %C_CATEGORY_SET% (and another four parameter, like groups, currency and etc.) that work on one script(next, i will named it A_Script).
       We will send this parametr from BPC EXCEL (we will create button, then use command MNU_eData_SelectPackage(we also set parameters) and run package that we need, also before we set script for this package by the SAP Guide. We send some data, and this A_Script work good. Everything that we want from this script work correctly. )
2. Next we create another script(B_Script) , and we want use %C_CATEGORY_SET%, but we don't know how use this parametr, if we will just write this parametr on Script Logic, apears error ("C_CATEGORYDATAVALUE" is not assigned to the Data Administrator). We try to solve this problem by using System_Constants.lgf, but we get error.
Code:
*DIM C_CATEGORY          WHAT=%C_CATEGORY_SET%;             WHERE=<<<;                   USING=<<<;    TOTAL=<<<
*DIM C_ENTITY                 WHAT=%ENTITYSET%;                         WHERE=<<<;                  USING=<<<;      TOTAL=<<<
*DIM GROUPS                   WHAT=%GROUPS_SET%;                    WHERE=<<<;                  USING=<<<;     TOTAL=<<<
*DIM RPTCURRENCY         WHAT=%RPTCURRENCY_SET%;         WHERE=<<<;                  USING=<<<;      TOTAL=<<<
*DIM TIME                          WHAT=%TIME_SET%;                          WHERE=<<<;                  USING=<<<;     TOTAL=<<<
If we will change %C_CATEGORY_SET% for ACTUAL, and also change another parameters, script will work, package will run correctly. But we need using parameters, because we didn't exactly what will choose our client.
Our question have BPC Script Logic some kind of Globar Parameter(Variable), that we will set in A_Script, and then use them on B_Script?
How can we define parameter from another script logic, maybe we should send it?
Should we use System_Constants for solving this problem, if yes, how?
Any help will be appreciated

Hi Ethan Jewett
1. About %ENTITYSET% it is normal. Before this line i write :
*SELECT(%ENTITYSET%, "ENTITY", GROUPS, "[ID]=%GROUPS_SET%")
So it is not this problem. %ENTITYSET% just parameter, that i used.
2. Are you running the scripts using the same data manager package? I am running two different package for 2 different Script.
For example aPackage for aScript, and bPackage for bScript.
My questions was how can i send parametr from one script to another, for example i can run another script by using BADi command Runlogic, but how can send parameter that i need to used on another script. I have for example parameter %GROUPS_SET% (CG001) on aScript, but i can't get this parameter on another script, if i write %GROUPS_SET% i will get error ("GROUPSDATAVALUE" is not assigned to the Data Administrator)
OR
Maybe if you will answer for next question, i will be able solve problem , How can i send parameter CG001 (this is %GROUPS_SET%, for example it stay in EXCEL in cell A5) from excel to script logic by running package. Maybe i can get cell value on Dynamic Script Data Management?
My Dynamic Script on bPackage
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%CHECKLCK%,"u0412u044Bu0431u043Eu0440 u0431u0430u0437u043Eu0432u043Eu0433u043E u043Fu043Eu043Au0430u0437u0430u0442u0435u043Bu044F.",1,{"u0412u0441u0435u0433u043E u0410u043Au0442u0438u0432u044B","u0421u043Eu0431u0441u0442u0432u0435u043Du043Du044Bu0439 u043Au0430u043Fu0438u0442u0430u043B","u0412u044Bu0440u0443u0447u043Au0430 u043Eu0442 u0440u0435u0430u043Bu0438u0437u0430u0446u0438u0438","u0414u043Eu0445u043Eu0434 u0434u043E u043Du0430u043Bu043Eu0433u043Eu0431u043Bu0430u0436u0435u043Du0438u044F u043Eu0442 u043Fu0440u043Eu0434u043Eu043Bu0436u0430u044Eu0449u0435u0439 u0434u0435u044Fu0442u0435u043Bu044Cu043Du043Eu0441u0442u0438"},{"BPAST_ALL","BPEQ","BPPROCE","BPOPIN_GO"})

BPC 7.5 Upgrade - Script Logic Toolbar missing

Hello,
We are moving from BPC 5.0 to 7.5. In the process of testing we found that the script logic window no longer has the toolbar that allows us to change the font type, font size, do pretty print...
Is there a setting to get this?
Also, we have noticed that the 'Administration Help' link on the bottom right hand corner of the BPC Admin screen no longer shows up.
On BPC for Excel, the e-Analyze, e-Publish, e-Submit.. no longer have their own 'help'....
Please let me know if you need additional information...
Regards,
Venkat

Help is a separate icon on top of Action Pane right now.
But the hellp still exist and can be reach from any section.
Regarding the scriptlogic we are speaking about text files.
So for print you just can copy into notepad or any other editor addyour format and you will be able to print.

BPC 7.0 MS Script-Logic problem: New values used, old values written?

I am trying to using BPC Script logic to update my Sales cube, specifically Revenue=Units*Price and Price=Revenue/Units using the "Price" stored in a seperate Price cube.
Inside default.lgl, I am *INCLUDE-ing my own script:
*LOOKUP PRICES
*DIM PREIS:ACCOUNT="Price"
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "Units"
*REC(FACTOR=LOOKUP(PREIS),ACCOUNT="Revenue")
*IS "Revenue"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%/LOOKUP(PREIS),ACCOUNT="Units")
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
Now, when I insert new "Units" values using the std. Excel template, strange things happen:
- The Revenues seems to be computed and updated correctly in the cube (if I check them using excel templates, they show up).
- The Units seem to have the values they had before... seems they get old values ?!
E.g. if I have several write operations say, I write units=2,3,4 and price is constant 10,
the values in the cube seem to be (table):
value written, units in cube, revenue
3 , 2 , 30
4, 3 , 40
The new value is somewhere in the MS Analysis cube, otherwise, how could later be the new value be shown, although the excel templates seem to show old values?
Any explanation for that strange behaviour?

I simplified and wrote the prices in the same cube as I send the data from with the excel template.
I tried using:
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "Units"
[Account].[#Revenue]=[Account].[Units]*[Account].[Price]
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "Revenue"
[Account].[#Units]=[Account].[Revenue]/[Account].[Price]
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
Now, if units are send from the excel template, revenue is calculated correctly.
If I enter revenue instead, seems that the 1st block is executed as well (why????!!!/how to avoid - I use *WHEN - what else should I do? ) which would explain the behaviour I get the old values for Units and Account again...
Related: How can I use "*WRITE_TO_FILE"? I tried both
*WRITE_TO_FILE Mylog.txt
*WRITE_TO_FILE "Mylog.txt"
But I can't find these file after sending data through the excel template... Do I have to create the files manually first or give full Path Names?
Thanks!

Calling a script logic through Excel Formulas/Macro

Hi All,
Can anyone suggest how to execite a script logic directly from excel without users requiring to make any further selections
Our business scenario is as follows:
We need to run a script logic everytime, when data is saved from a particular template(Not from all the templates).
Hence we cannot use the default logic. When the user clicks on the save button(it is a macro which sends the data to the server) it should also execute that particular script logic without any further selections.
Please suggest on this . Let me know incase any furher information is required on this.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Chandra

Hi VinooGAN,
Yes, I need to run the script logic for a specific set of accounts for which data is entered from a specific tenmplate.
In other words, that scriptlogic has to be executed only when the data is sent from that particular template.
We have a save button(Excel TAB) in the template which is the macro to send the data after the user enters data in the sheet.
So the macro lines should be such that, once the user clicks on that save button of that particular sheet, the script logic should also run(Without users having to make any further selections) automatically.

Bastien

Hi,
After creating a script logic, please validate it to generate the LGX file. Then you need to have an SSIS package created. You can use the predelivered SSIS packages for this purpose (you can refer to default logic SSIS). Then create a new package (copy it from run default logic DM package).
Hope this helps.

Reference a value of previous year in a Script Logic

Hi,
I need to reference a value of previous year to that I have in a Script Logic.
I've tried it with "%YEAR% (-1)", but "%YEAR%" refers to the current year and doesn't refer to the year that I have in the Script Logic, that is, if I pass "2006.DEC " to Script Logic, the system returns me in "%YEAR%" the value "2010".
What syntax should I use?
Regards,
Miguel.

Hi
The Damien's suggestion is the correct one for BPC 7.0 NW to get the offset of the passed-in Time's member.
So you have properties in your Time dimension that store the prior year of current member or the next year of current member or next 2 years of current member and etc.
Then reference them in you logic something right this
ID : 2008.JAN
NEXT: 2009.JAN
PRIOR: 2007.JAN
*WHEN TIME
*IS %TIME_SET%
*REC(FACTOR=1, TIME=TIME.PRIOR)
*ENDWHEN
Additional information,
%YEAR% in BPC NW reflects the time on the server which is different from the BPC MS.
BPC 7.5 NW has a better function to handle this: TVML.

Cannot modify logic script on BPC 10.0

Hello All,
I need to change a simple logic in our existing logic script. I changed, validated and hit a save button. It says that "The Script Logic file has been updated". However, my change is not saved. When I open a script Logic after I saved, I see the original one only.
I talked to BASIS team to check the PROCTIMEOUT on server and found that it has 3600. Which is two times higher than SAP recommended. There are about 200 lines in logic scripts.
Could you please help why I can not modify the logic scripts?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
Thanks
Indra

Hi Indra,
I dont think its related to the timeout settings of a DIA process. Could you please check if you have proper authorizations to Update the script Logic in BPC ?

BPC 7.5 MS SP5 wrong numbers multiplying GET (A)*GET(B) in script logic

Hi experts,
We are migrating from BPC 5.1 MS to 7.5 MS SP5 and there have some scripts that are using GET function that retrieve wrong numbers. Particularly, it does not record the decimals figures.
Example1 (multiply): when A=2,3 and B=4,4, then AB=10,12. But doing this in script logic GET(A)GET(B)=10. It does not write the decimal figures.
Example2 (addition): when A=2,3 and B=4,4, then AB=6,7. But doing this in script logic GET(A)GET(B)=6. It does not write the decimal figures.
Particularly, the script we are executing is the following. This script worked ok at 5.1 but not at 7.5:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNTL= INFLA_AUX,INFLA_ACUM
*XDIM_NOSCAN ACCOUNTL = INFLA_ACUM
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=%CATEGORY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CURRENCY=LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TECHNOLOGY = %TECHNOLOGY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET PEM=DESCENDANTS([PEM].[PEMTOT],999,LEAVES)
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=DESCENDANTS([TIME].[XXXX.TOT],999,LEAVES)
*CALC_EACH_PERIOD
*WHEN ACCOUNTL
*IS INFLA_AUX
     *WHEN TIME.YEAR
     *IS = PEM.YEAR
*REC(EXPRESSION=1,NOADD,ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM)
            *IS < PEM.YEAR
*REC(EXPRESSION=0,NOADD,ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM)
            *IS > PEM.YEAR
*REC(ACCOUNTL=INFLA_ACUM,NOADD,EXPRESSION=GET(ACCOUNTL="INFLA_ACUM",TIME=PRIOR) * GET(ACCOUNTL="INFLA_AUX",TIME=PRIOR))     //in this sentence!!!!!!
          *ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
We have SIGNED_DATA_FORMAT (25,10) in the application parameters.

Script logic from BPC 5 in BPC 7.5

Hi,
I am trying to use some script logic from an appset in BPC 5 in BPC 7.5. When I validate the logic in 5 it works fine but in 7.5 I get validation errors.
They relate to properties of dimension elements that are not currently used (neither in 5 nor in 7.5) but could well be used in the future. As an example, this bit generates an error
*WHEN ACCOUNTL.RATETYPE
*IS END,ENDFLOW
I currently do not have an account defined with ratetype END but it is quite possible that there will be one in the future. And END is defined as an element in the RATE dimension.
So, why did BPC 5 accept this and BPC 7.5 does not? And, is there a way around other than defining a dummy element in ACCOUNTL that used ratetype END?
Thanks
Edited by: ArnoldWarhonowicz on Aug 5, 2010 4:06 PM

What I havenoticed is that with the new7.5 Script logic, there are more checks and balances performed during the validation. So, if you have only AVG, ENDRATE on RATETYPE property and no END for any member, yet your logic is calling a set of members with this parameter, the logic fails to validate. I assume the process is checking for a set of END members based on the request. Since they don't exist, the error occurs. But I would request that BPC Support verify the behavior as well.
If you remove END, does the logic validate?
Hope this helps.

Rounding in NW BPC Script Logic
