BI and BPC dependency

Dear Experts,
We need to upgrade BI 7.0 to BI 7.4.
We also have BPC 7.5 in our landscape so i am in doubt that will i need to upgrade BPC 7.5 to BPC 10 in order to continue BI+BPC work
or BI can be upgarded individually without touching BPC.
FYI dependency analyser is not showing anything.
Warm Regards,
Sumit

Hi,
As for your upgrade, when moving from NW 7.00 to 7.4 you'll have to
install a new BPC Addon (CPMBPC 754 SP00 or higher) and also move up
your SP level.
BPC 7.5 SP14 and higher supports NW/BW 7.4 so you'll have to update
your front-end components as well.
Please refer to Notes
1826727 BPC NW version mapping matrix,
1366676
1777617 for further details.

Aidan

Import data in BPC depending on sign

Hello everybody,
I would like to import data using an external file in SAP BPC depending on the sign of the value and the account. If the value of the account (X, for example) if positive, the value must be entered in the same account X. But if the value is negative, the value must be entered in Y account.
I would like to do this without modifying the external file.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Fernando

Hi,
First you can check the sales order for its completeness for FT data using FT incompletion procedure.
If data is complete in the sales order, then check the copy control procedure in SPRO -> Sales and distribution -> Billing -> Maintain copy control for billing documents.
At header level, check the field determine export data and assign respective values.
Hope this help to resolve the issue.

Difference between BPC for MS and BPC for NW

Hi All,
I'm looking for some comparative analysis between BPC for MS and BPC for NW. Can you please give me your points or direct me to some link/material where I can find such stuff.
Primarily I'm focusing on following two points:
- How would the integration to SAP BI work (=differences between SAP BPC (NW) and SAP BPC (MS))?
Could the same degree of automation be established?
- I was told that SAP BPC (MS) could be much faster implemented than the NW version. Is this really the case? Why?
I would really appreciate your earliest response.
Regards,
Shabbar

Hi,
BPC for MS runs on Microsoft platform where as BPC for NW runs on SAP Netweaver.
BPC for NW is tightly integrated with SAP BI all the dimensions and applications created in BPC NW can be seen in BI system in the form of Infoobject (dimensions) and Infocubes (applications).
Performance depends on the complexity and scalability of the project. BPC for NW may undergo lots of improvements and developments in future versions.
search SDN u will get help.
Hope this helps

SAP BW 7.3 and BPC 7.5 NW

Hi,
We are currently using BPC 7.5 Netweaver with BI 7.01
We are now planning to migrate our BI to BW 7.3. We had earlier heard that BPC 7.5 does not work or is not supported with BW 7.3
Kindly help and let me know if BW 7.3 and BPC 7.5 work together. Is there any specific support pack on BW or BPC that will make them work together.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
In case you still need assistance on this subject, BPC 7.5 SP09 is supported on NW & BW 7.3.
You will need to install the add-on CPMBPC 753 now available in the SMP.
Kind Regards,
Marcelo

BPM Collect Message dependent AND time dependent

Hi
I have a IDOC to file scenario where I have to collect all the IDOC until I receive a stop IDOC.
Once the End collect IDOC is received I have to do a n:1 transformation and write the file to the FTP.
The problem is, at times the IDOC which is suppose to end the collect loop gets stuck in ECC R3 system.
So Im wondering If I can do something like say, we have two options inside BPM both time dependent and message dependent.
In this case which ever comes first (the Stop/END IDOC or the Time say 3 mins) will end the collect process.
Can anyone pls suggest will it work and if so what are the additional steps I have to introduce in the BPM.
Pls advice.
Right Now these are the steps in the BPM Collect Message dependent.
1. Block (I have used correlation)
2. Fork inside the block
3. Fork branch one has a look with end condition as 1=1; then a receive step and a container operation inside the loop.
4. Fork branch two receives the end collect idoc.
5. Transform step outside the block.
6. Send step.
Thanks
Prasanna

Hi Abhishek/ Raj
Thanks!!
I have done the changes let me confirm after testing it once. In the mean time I have one more question regarding the same BPM, as I have mentioned in the first post, the BPM contains the 6 steps mentioned but the the 6th step is inside another block (Block2).
The steps 1 to 4 are inside Block1.
The step 5 ie the transformation step (n:1) is in between the Blocks ie not inside any block (hope im not confusing).
The second block is for sending the file to the FTP and based on the acknowledgement (transport level) I have to send an email.
So Block2 already contains a deadline branch, it is to wait for the positive acknowledgement for say 3 mins and send the error email if incase we dont get positive ack within the time limit.
My doubt is,
1. Is it the only way (having two block and two wait steps) to achieve this.
(one block for collecting and one block for ack)
2. Is there any way I can have a single Block in the BPM insted of two. If so what are the steps.
Having single block, Will improve anything??
Thanks

Finding direct and indirect dependency

Hi,
I have table say SAPECC, which is used in one of the procedure as given below :
create or procedure test121
as
begin
insert into sapecc2
select * from sapecc;
end;
And SAPECC2 is used in another procedure as given below :
create or procedure test122
as
begin
insert into sapecc3
select * from sapecc2;
end;
Now if I want to get what are the direct and indirect dependency for SAPECC, how can we get that? Say I want to see TEST121 procedure and SAPECC2 table are the 1st level dependency for SAPECC and TEST122 procedure and SAPECC3 table are the 2st level dependency for SAPECC.
Regards,
Koushik

Hi Koushik,
There are no dependencies as you describe them between the sapeccX tables.
SQL> select level
          ,name
          ,type
          ,referenced_name
          ,referenced_type
      from user_dependencies
start with referenced_name like 'SAPECC%'
connect by prior referenced_name = name
LEVEL NAME         TYPE         REFERENCED_N REFERENCED_T
    1 TEST121      PROCEDURE    SAPECC       TABLE
    1 TEST121      PROCEDURE    SAPECC2      TABLE
    1 TEST122      PROCEDURE    SAPECC2      TABLE
    1 TEST122      PROCEDURE    SAPECC3      TABLE
4 rows selected.I don't know about 11g and PL/Scope maybe you can get something from there.
As a final resort you can play with user_source:
select *
from user_source
where name like 'TEST%';Regards

S&OP on Hana, IBP and BPC

Hi All,
can some one please help me in understanding the difference between S&OP on HANA, IBP and BPC and how they are differentiated from SAP APO?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Kishore

Story started around 2012 with S&OP Hana until version 3.0. Following marketing definition and Gartner group vocabulary, this application has now change its name to IBP S&OP 4.0. Nothing changes within S&OP except improvements with 4.0.
IBP is a new family of application in SCM under Hana
BCP belongs to analytic family, not much appropriate for SCM Concern.
APO is the previous APS of SAP that is still supported until 2025. Say a new customer needs SCM advance planning, better going IBP nowaday but nothing wrong with APO neither

Visual Studio and BPC 10.0

Hi all,
I'm a relatively new Planning Consultant and on a new project have the requirement of having an input screen for the allocation of time, for an individual, against a project.
Examples of the required input are:
- Allocate Nick Carter, to Project ABC, for 28 November 2011, Full Day (8hours).
- Allocate Joe Bloggs, to Project XYZ, from 28th November to 1st February, Full Days
Has anyone used Visual Studio to create an input screen, and maybe used a drag and drop design that integrates well with BPC.
There is also a requirement for Versions, i.e. Scenario 1, Scenario 2, which allow different planning options.
The BPC input screen, even with the Web UI 10.0 is limited, especially due to the way it presents data as numbers as opposed to text.
Any feedback or advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Sabine, thank you for the replies!
We are using BPC 10.0 for NetWeaver, and not MS.
The reassurance that it is technically possible if good for our Project as we can start to move forwards with the Bluerprinting. We are going to use NetWeaver Gateway to connect Visual Studio to SAP (BW and BPC).
We have done some mock-ups for Excel but have come accross some significnat limitations, some of which are column limits, and how we need the input cell, e.g. 8 (hours), to Project Name.
[The current solution looks like this|http://i44.tinypic.com/1o7hjr.jpg], and the way that we thought BPC Excel could look is like this: [BPC Excel Possible Design|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/fef8f.jpg]
I have also found information that there are row and column limitations on excel that will restrict the volume of data we are required to show / input at any one time. (I found information [here|Maximum Number of Columns Exceeded Message; under Sakthi Jaganathan's post)
I'm not sure what you mean by Business Object Connector. From internet research it suggests it's a BOBJ connector for BI4 which we will be using for reporting.
Thanks again for your comments, you don't realise how much it helps us!

Difference between EPM Add-in for Excel and BPC 10.0?

Hi Forum,
I'm currently researching an upgrade to version 10.0. We're currently running BPC 7.0 for MS. I'm confused at the moment, because I'm not sure if/what the difference is between the EPM Add-In and BPC 10.0. Can someone answer this?
I'm also not understanding the future roadmap for BPC 10.0 and beyond. It appears to me that an attempt to merge Business Objects functionality and BPC functionality into one product/suite of products is what is happening, but I could be wrong about that too. Can someone expand on this as well?
Thanks,
Mike

The EPM10 Client (aka add-in) is the unified Excel interface for a subset of EPM products (Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidations, Strategy Management and BPC). Clients did not like having different report writing paradigms in all of these applications, so the EPM10 Client was developed utilizing a technology called Extended Analytics Analyzer mashed with some of the BPC reporting functionality from BPC7.x to provide one stop shopping for accessing data in EPM applications. Additionally, the EPM10 Client can be used in many cases to report directly against native BW cubes or any other source that supports an ODBO connection.
BPC10 is the planning and consolidations application with the code engine to support the application functionality. If you purchase/upgrade to BPC10, the EPM10 Client is made available as an additional download to complete the package. In BPC10, the EPM10 Client is used both for reporting as well as for write back to the database for end users.
A new roadmap with BPC10 and beyond is just being finalized. Look for announcements around this in the next few weeks.

How to delete everything, but base group and their depends?

If I install KDE or Gnome, and even a bunch of different programs, or have too much broken system, or even what the cause ..
How to easiest delete everything, but to keep packages in base group and their depends?
Last edited by atommixz (2010-10-14 11:37:31)

You're drawing an erroneous conclusion. Dependencies for base are self contained within base. That is to say, you can install only the packages in base, and boot into a working system.
If it's not working, then it gives rise to the idea that you have packages outside of the base group that are providing the functionality of packages in base. I'm not willing to test this further than verifying what I think the output of the comm should be -- and it looks correct on my end.

Significance of the include Reservations and include dependent reservation

Dear friends,
Please throw some light regarding significance of the include Reservations and include dependent reservations in OPJJ and impact of both settings.....

Hi R.S.,
In the material availability check
- include reservation means it will take the material reservations, while doing material availability check
and in dependent reservation means it will take into account the orders, purchase orders...
So while doing availability check in PP orders so here in OPJJ we will define what PP check rule can be defined for which elements which should be accounted for to determine the components availability in the production order.
Hope this clarifies your question. Please let me know if there is any doubt.
Regards,
Abhijeet
