BPC 10 installation

Hello,
do you have experience with BPC 10 NW installation?
How long it takes to install it? Can you provide me some raw time estimation for installation and post-installation steps?
My second question is about web client I saw architecture of BPC 10.0 and I am not sure where is this installed on BW server with add-ons?
Thank you for response

Hi,
This depends entirely on whether or not you are setting up SSL etc. Most installations I have seen so far are very quick as this is now just SOFTWARE COMPONENTS being applied to the ABAP Stack. If you are already a BASIS consultant and are familiar with the ins and outs of setting up SSL working with the WebAS etc, this should be very easy and fast.
Cheers, Scott

Justice

Hi Justice,
first of all I see you have a lot of opened threads, please close the solved threads assigning a "correct answer" this will help other user with same issue in the future, see please How to close a discussion and why
For this issue you have to
create a team giving admin privilege (task)
create your user assigning it to the team
create an admin task profile ( if you want to add some more rights respect to the bpc admin tasks) and assingning it to the team
create and assign to your team all the m.a.p. you need (for all the secured dimensions)
Remember that maybe the first time you need to enter with the systemadmin user (one of the 3 you defined during bpc installation).
If not sufficient please share your security profile (user, team, task, map) and whiche/where you received the error.
Regards
Roberto

BPC installation query

Dear all,
we installed new BI instance (windows , SAP NetWeaver 7.3)
Could pls clarify the below we received mail from Customer , pls advise .
While checking the InfoProvider on SID of new instance , I verified that BPC InfoArea is missing.
Are you sure that the process installation was finalized and that the system is ready for use?
Once the installation is finished I will need an account created on BPC Administration Interface.
Kindly check my below thread for more details :
BPC Installation
Thanks

Hi Satheesh,
Exactly, you will have to apply CPMBPC addon and all the support packages up to the version you would like to use.
You should also make a search for BPC Central Notes for each SP to be applied as there could be manual steps or other procedures to be followed.
According to the install guide these are the prerequisites:
- SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including SAP EHP1 and later
- Application Server ABAP u2013 PI_BASIS 7.01
- Application Server ABAP u2013 SAP ABA 7.01
- Application Server ABAP u2013 SAP BASIS 7.01
- Application Server ABAP u2013 SAP BW 7.01
- Kernel (32-bit or 64-bit)
*Note you will need to have RSA1 activated prior to BPC addon install in order to prevent future issues.
As for the .NET Server and Clients you only have to install the support package you need and its patch (if available).
Make sure you follow the install guide as the prerequisites change a bit according to the SP you're installing and also according to the OS version.
Regards,
Marcelo

SAP BPC installation - Errors during setup in the create database step

Hi! I have a real big problem installing SAP BPC. It's a Microsoft multi-server installation.
I've got two servers: 1) the database server with the SQL Database and Analysis Server 2) the application server with all the rest.
I log on and I installed everything on the servers with a specific domain user: this user is administrator on both servers and even on SQL Server.
My problem occours when I execute the "SAP BPC setup" on the application server: during the "create database" step I receive two errors:
first error pop-up:
Error ([SQL-DMO]This cache contains no result sets, or the current result set contains no rows.)
second error pop-up:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "ApShell" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user MyDomain\MyUser
After the SAP BPC setup:
- in the SQL Database Engine the ApShell database was created
- nothing for ApShell was created in Analysis Sever
- in the Even Viewer of the database server I've got this error: Login failed for user 'MyDomain\MyUser'.
It's very strange because if from the application server, using "SQL Server Management Studio" (always with 'MyDomain\MyUser'), I connect to the database server: I can login, create and delete databases on the SQL Database Engine and even on Analysis Server without any sort of problem.
To complete my status, I can say you Analysis Sever is on the default port. I use SQL Server 2005 and I even tryed to reinstall it and SAP BPC but nothing change.
At this point I checked these two topics on this forum:
Mulit-Server Install - Installation fails while creating AppServer Database
Problem during BPC installation
1) At first I tryied this solution:
Into multiserver installation guide is specified that actually in case of multiserver environment you have to copy apshell.db9 file from installation kit into db server. Into a drive from where SQL server is able to read when you are doing restore with Management Studio.
During the installation you have to go into advance options and to specified the path (local path from db server where you did the copy of apshell.db9).
but nothing change: the "SAP BPC setup" problem I have still persists.
2) Then I tryed this workaround:
If so, you can try a "restore appset" from server manager. Rename the Apshell.db9 file (or copy it) and name it Apshell.bak
During server manager restore, point only to the Apshell.bak file. Server Manager will tell you that webfolders and filedb files are missing, but it found the webfolders and filedb (again, only if the original bpc installation successfully created those folders)- and then it will try to restore Apshell.
That may work in spite of whatever problem is keeping the installation program from performing the same tasks.
but the "restore database" fails > I've got the error written in red: OLAP database - fail
What can I do to solve the problem? If it is necessary, I can reinstall SQL Server and SAP BPC but I need to know the way to solve the setup error.
Thanx very much in advance for your kindness if you can help me.

Thanx very much to everyone for the kind support. Unfortunatly, my problem persists.
- SQL server is EE.
- I installed SQL server (including SSAS) using MyDomain\MyUser.
- MyDomain\MyUser is windows administrator on both servers.
- MyDomain\MyUser is SQL Server and SSAS administrator.
- SSAS service is running under the same service account than the SQL Service.
- All my MSSQL services runs as Local System.
- I'm installing SAP BPC using MyDomain\MyUser.
- I also checked the SSAS service account specific rights to the SSAS data folders.
SAP BPC installation still fails exactly as above (popup errors during SAP BPC setup, no ApShell etc. etc).
In the database server, windows event viewer errors after the unsuccessful installation are:
1) SOURCE: MSSQLSERVER
Failure Audit: Login failed for user MyDomain\MyUser
2) SOURCE: MSSQLSERVER
BackupDiskFile::OpenMedia: Backup device 'MyPath' failed to open. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
As regard as point 1: The Failure Audit error into the event viewer happens only during SAP BPC installation. Otherwise it is always Success Audit.
Also, as I told you, if from the application server I connect with SQL Server console to SSAS, located on the database server, using MyDomain\MyUser: I can create delete SSAS dbs without any sort of problem.
For point 2:
I tried 4 differents SAP BPC installations as follows:
- to go into advance options and to specified the path (local path from db server where I did the copy of apshell.db9).
- to go into advance options and to specified the path (local path from application server where is the copy of apshell.db9).
- to go into advance options and to specified the path (network path of a share folder with apshell.db9 and permissions to everyone)
- to don't go into advance options and to don't specify the path.
but every time nothing change: the "SAP BPC setup" problem I have during my initial post still persists. In the same way I written at the beginning of the topic.
I don't know how to solve it.

Did you have any idea?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Roberto,
Thank you for your answer.
I can complete the installation by clicking on the 'OK' button. As if the error is ignored by the system during the installation.
But, after the installation is completed, the deployment of the OLAP cube with (with restore) is not working. we get an error message. I think it is related to the first one.
Is it mandatory to restart the Send Governor after the installation?
Thank you very much for your help!

BPC Installation on Windows Server 2008

Does anyone know if SAP BPC version 7.0 can be installed on windows server 2008?

Hi Harry,
The installation of BPC on the Microsoft platform is tricky enough that for any business-related purpose, you should rely on the guidance of the specialists who do installations. They will tell you that right now the Windows Server 2003 platform is really the only way to go, and as someone who has worked on these, I can tell you that it is crucial to reduce the number of new platform choices and/or chances for bugs/glitches/changes.
To learn more about the process, you should go to the Technical Installation class, which used to be RABPC7 on the 5.1 version. It might still be the same course number.
If you'd like a taste of all of the parts of the process involved, there is a document on the SDN called "How to Perform a Dual-Server BPC for Microsoft Install". It doesn't cover everything, but it will give you a flavor for the process.
In any case, I would strongly recommend that you don't even look at Win2K8 until they update BPC with it.
Sidenote: SQL 2008 is supported as of 7.0 SP3, I think and we've been using it on a DEV environment without any issues so far.

Where do we use the three users created during BPC installation

Hi Experts,
I just want to know where we use the three users we create during installation. Because without AppSet the users cannot log in.
Though we map three different domain users in "UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS", except the user BPC_SYSADMIN, I think we cannot use the other users without assigning the Appset. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bobby

ok I think there is some confusion here and that we are not all talking of the same thing...
there are ABAP users, and there are Windows users (or in the case of 7.5, possibly CMS users).
the ABAP users are used exclusively by the .Net server to connect to the ABAP server. They are never used to login from a client machine.
The Windows (or AD or CMS) users are used to login to the clients.
The .Net server will authenticate those logins from the clients, will then look in the tables in ABAP to check the rights of that user, and then take action based on those steps. If the user is authenticated and has the required rights to the appset, then the .Net server will perform the actions that the windows user is requesting. To perform those actions, it will connect to the ABAP server under one of the 3 ABAP accounts as described earlier
so if the user is in Admin and for example wants to process a dimension, the .Net server will use ABAP account BPC_admin to connect to ABAP and take action.
if the user is in BPC for Excel and wants to input data in a schedule, the .Net server will connect using BPC_user to ABAP server and take action.
in other words, those 3 accounts are completely transparent to the client side, are never used on the client side, and can be consider as internal to the server, as they are used only between servers.
once BPC is installed, only the windows account that was used to install the .Net componenet will have access. That account can be used to install the admin client and to login to the admin client. From there, other windows accounts can be given rights to BPC.
I hope this helps and clarify
best regards
Bruno Ranchy

BPC installation - Setting up for large requests

Hi,
Im about to finish the installation for BPC 7.5 , according to the guide page 30, the Setting Up for Large Requests part says:
- Edit the metabase.xml file and set the following parameters:
ASPBUFFERINGLIMIT
MAXREQUESTENTITYALLOWED
How can I do this if the file keeps showing "cannot edit" everytime I try to open this file, wheter I choose Notepad, Visual, etc.
It is not related to permissions, because Im the administrator´and have full permissions over it. Can you tell me please what to do... how can I change those parameters ?
Thanx in advance
Velázquez

Read a bit of the article I linked to, especially the part about making a bootable clone of your internal drive. Many users here use that as part of their backup strategy.
I use SuperDuper and a Firewire external to do this. I partitioned my external into two parts using Disk Utility. One partition is about the same size as my internal drive (80 GB) and I use this for the bootable clone. The rest of the external drive I use for bulk storage. Partitioning is simple and nothing to be afraid of.
PPC Macs (like I have) can only be booted via a FW external (not USB). I assume your Mac has an Intel processor. These Macs are supposed to be able to boot from a USB external (USB 2 would be faster than USB) but can also boot from FW (400 or maybe 800). Many users prefer Firewire for bootable externals.
I am not familiar with CMS Bounce Back Express so I cannot advise you on this.

SAP Server Manager Error after BPC installation on domain controller

Hi, I have installed BPC on a domain controller with windows 2003 server (english version). When I launch diagnostic in the "SAP Server Manager" I have the following error message " Current user Name does not have permission for Adminitrators group" . I think that the application it's taking the local user (the diagnistic show that de current user is "server name\user name" instead of "domain name\user name" but I login with the domain Administrator ( this server is a domain controller don't have local users).
Thanks

Install Server Components Considerations during BPC Installation

Hello experts,
I have something confusing about chapter 3.3 Installing the Server Components. (The screen shot is provided below)
Questions:
Q1: The server components for BPC is CPMBPC, is it right?
Q2: How to activate the BW and Planning Consolidation?
Q3: Before active BW and Planning Consolidation, we should copy a client for both BW and BPC?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Tong Ning

Hi Tong,
CPMBPC is not the only component you need. You need also POA... component. If your DB is HANA then you need additionally HANABPC component.
To activate BW you have to go to t/a RSA1. To activate BPC you have to install EVIRONMENTSHELL.
You don't have to copy anything; you just have to install both in same client.

Gersh

BPC NW Installation - MSMQ Setup

Hi Experts
We are in process of BPC NW installation. One of the prerequisites for BPC installation in MSMQ installation.
The installation guide says, MSMQ needs to be installated with domain controller rights and option of "Active Directory Integration" should be checked during the installation process.
Pls confirm, if this is mandatory or there can be any work around. As my organization does not allows any MSMQ integration with Acitive directory.
Thanks
Anurag

Hi Experts,
I am in process of BPC NW installation.
In the MSMQ configuration (Windows 2008 server), I have to create a nontransactionnal message queue (as described in SAP Install Guide).
But when installing my new private queue, I only can check a "transactional" option.
Is the message queue have to be created in transactional or nontransactional mode?
Is the default mode, a nontransactional mode?
Regards
Chris

BPC NW installation questions

Dear expert,
I get that BPC NW is composed by a BW server on 64bit hardware and .Net, IIS, BPC app server on 32bit hardware.
I am just have 2 questions about the BPC installation and configuration.
1 -> does the BI content component need to be installed in the BW ABAP server?
2 -> How can i change the server connection on 32 bit hardware to another BW server on 64 bit hardware?
Thanks and BR
Lin

Hi Lin,
1. Yes, abap server compoment needs to install on BI system using SAINT, then you can perform the customization as per the installation document. BI system should be BI 7.0 EPH1
2. normally BPC will also support 64bit windows application but preferred 32bit OS application and it can talk to backend system with 64bit application.
let me know if you have any questions.
thanks

BPC 5.1 ApShell DB account created at installation

Good afternoon,
When I install BPC 5.1 on a server, it appears to setup a SQL db user account called SEANLAPSERVER\Administrator on the ApShell database only. I haven't been able to find anything in the SAP documentation regarding this account and I'm wondering what its function is.
We are running a single BPC server with SQL Server 2005 installed. SEANLAPSERVER is not the name of the machine, nor is it the name of any computer in our domain. I actually rebuilt a computer and installed all of the prerequisites and BPC 5.1 without modifying the installation at all to verify that this account gets setup with the BPC installation and I've confirmed that it is. The "Creation Date" on the account also suggests that it is packaged with the software given that the date is May of 07 and I installed the product less than 24 hours ago.
The account is not a Windows account, nor is it listed as a user in any system database or default SQL database, only the ApShell database. The account is not listed in the Security -> Logins on the SQL Server either.
I'd like to know if this account is in fact created when BPC is installed and, if so, what this account is used for. Any information or ideas that anyone can offer are appreciated.
Thank you
Adam

Apshell is a sample database and it will be restored when Installation program is running.
I think apshell developer didn't remove his test account when he did backup.
Please report it to Support team so that they can fix it in the future relase.
Thank you.

Writing data from BW-IP into BW to be reported instantly in BPC 7.5 NW

Dear all,
we are currently designing an integrated BPC 7.5 NW / SAP BW planning environment. Due to various restrictions part of the plan data is supposed to be collected via SAP BW-IP. This is a must have-requirement.
At the point of time when the data is entered via SAP BW-IP we want to be able to report those numbers out of SAP BPC.
For my understanding with BPC 7.5 NW the "BPC world" will have/require specific cubes in the BW system below, which is the same for the BW-IP environment.
Therefore our first guess for this issue would be, that once an user enters data via BW-IP a BW-IP planning functionality writes those data into both cubes (BW-IP cube and BPC cube). We have seen this in a shared SEM BPS / BCS environment earlier, where SEM BPS wrote / copied data directly into the BCS cube. Therefore our expectation is, that the same might be possible for a shared BPC / BW environment.
Is this a feasible scenario from your point of view or are you aware of any other "best practise" on an issue like this?
Any thoughts shared would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Christian

Christian,
No, using IP aggregation levels to write into a cube in the BPC namespace is not a supported scenario. The rule of thumb is that no customer development is supported against objects in the BPC namespaces. It is technically possible to do this (in your example, putting an aggregation level on top of a BPC cube), but it is highly un-advisable as the BPC cube can be deleted and recreated without warning and it is not guaranteed to have the same technical name in all environments, so you may not be able to transport aggregation levels.
So what do you do? I think you are either going to need to move all your data input into BPC (I know you say this is not acceptable, but it is something to keep in mind), give up on the requirement for instant reporting in BPC on the BW-IP input data and push data to BPC periodically, or face a very complex custom development task against unpublished APIs (i.e. if you mess up your BPC installation you'll probably be on your own).
Without more detail about the problem you are trying to solve, it is hard to recommend which is the best solution, but in general I'd recommend staying away from the custom development option.
