BPC 5.1 SP7 patch 3 - Work Status not updateable

Hi All,
We have just upgraded to SP7 and applied patch 3, and suddenly we cannot "roll-back" Work Status from eSubmit / Modify Work Status.
Previously I (as Administrator) could change a status from Approved back to Submitted or Unlocked. Now, once something is Submitted it is greyed out (not able to be changed). (Both the "Include children in data region" and the Work Status dropdown are unavailable")
I've searched SAPNotes and on the forums, but cannot find anything related.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Peter Bellis

Upgrade to SP 7 solved this issue.

Initial Work status not set autmoatically for new created member

Hi,
if we create a new budget version, and process the category dimension we notice that the first work status (locked in our scenario) is not set automatically by default... As a result users can still input data for the new budget version. Only if we first change the work status of the new budget version (and put it back), the work status can be applied ...
Is this normal behavior?
Dries

Yes, I think what you're seeing is "normal" behavior -- it may not be what you want, though. In fact, I don't think this issue is limited to your creating a new member. It also applies to the existing members of your work status dimensions.
I had one project like this, where the customer wanted the default work status to be locked, and then for the finance administrator to explicitly open up the category & time period for users. We never got it to work in a really clean manner.
For the work status check to take effect, there must be records in the tblFinanceLock table (where Finance is the applcation name). And the only way that records normally get into that table is by changing the work status manually. We played around with a SQL script to populate that table, to automatically set the status to the first level (locked), but never found something that we were comfortable with.
I'd be curious to hear if someone's made something like that work well.

Displaying current work status in BPC Excel report

Hi All,
Could any of you tell me how do we retrive the current work status that has been set for a particular application on to a Excel?
We would get this in BPC WEB reports, but we are lookin gto display it in excel itself.
Does EVLCk function have any link with this?
can any one share the details of list of EV functions that can be used in BPC 7.0.
Regards,
Swetha

Hi Swetha-
SAP Note 1348997 "BPC NW 7.0 SP03 Work Status Explanation" provides a detailed PowerPoint deck that explains the specifics around Work Status. Please note slide #39 and the mention of EVLCK.
A few additional notes that may be of interest:
EVLCK became available to SAP BPC 70 NetWeaver with SP02 (pls review SAP note 1310443, as well as the "BPC 7.0 SP03 NW Documentation Updates" in Note 1349538).

Outlooksoft ServiceManager Service - BPC 7.0M SP07 Patch 1, 2, or 3

We have noticed inconsistent behavior with the Outlooksoft SeviceManager service installed by BPC 7.0M SP7 patch 1, 2, or 3. If the patch is installed on a server where there is a virtual name defined, the service is installed correctly and starts up.
However if any of these patches that contain the NLB fix in patch 1 is installed on a system that does not have a virtual name defined (not NLB), then the service is installed, the bpc system admin user is set at the Log on user, but the service will not start. This is because in this case, the BPC installation program does not set the BPC System Admin user with Log On as a Service permission.
Why does the installer do this correctly when a virtual name is defined, but not when there is none? The service is set to start automatically in either case, so when you do not have a virtual name you get an application popup that a service or driver failed to start. Once you assign the Log on as a service permission, then it works.
Is the intended behavior that this service is not necessary in a non-NLB setup? In this case, it would be better to set the service to Manual startup or Disabled rather than automatic with a log on account that does not have the correct priviledges.

Hi,
The architecture you designed is ok. Now there are some things you can take in consideration:
1. Usually, the reporting Services is better to be on the application server. This because it need iis and iis installed on db server cand be an open door to the server.
2. If you have a cluster for SQL server - you can put the fileshare on the DB side (added to cluster - solves the file-over problem)
Regarding the installation files you downloaded:
language is related to languages patch in case you want to use BPC in a different language than english
sms installation kit - silent client installation.
Hope this can help,

Symptom
There is "Error checking work status" in the status log after executing clear package:/CPMB/CLEAR.
Environment
SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation, version 10 for SAP NetWeaver
Reproducing the Issue
Run clear package:/CPMB/CLEAR
Set check work status when clearing as YES. ("CHECKLCK"=YES)
Check detail status log
CauseWork status is not set or not found for the "to be cleared" data.
Resolution
Try to change the work status of the data in EPM and check if system pops up with "work status not found".
If yes, check in work status table (you can get the table name by running program UJ0_GET_GEN_TABNAME) if there is default work status assigned.
If yes, check UJW_STATCODE table in SE16, incase the line which contain field ORDERN=0 is missing, run program: UJW_UP_INSERT_0_STATE to insert this line.

Work status

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to design security for users. For users who can approve the plan i am setting the authorizations with task profile as "set work status". But when user logs in to BPC web to change the work status, The data region is either blank/white screen. The user is not able to proceed to next step.
I have maintained owner dimension also. But when gave user authrizations as secondary sys admin + lockings user is able to see the data region and proceed to next step.
My question with only set work status authorization can user change the status? or user needs to have secondary system admin + locking tasks assigned to complete status change.
Regards,
Reddy.

I'm pretty sure that users can be owner of a work status node, even if they have read-only (not write) access to that node. This is easy enough for you to test; just change the member access profile for that one user, and see if it solves the problem.
But I suspect it won't solve it.
You say that users with secondary admin rights can change work status, which means you have most f the setup (at the application and dimension levels) correct. There must be something about these users, or their task profiles, or their member access profiles, or the assignment to them of the OWNER property of the drive dimension, which is not correct.
Make sure you double-check all these, and then process all the dimensions in the application & process the application itself. It's a bit of looking for a needle in the haystack, but there must be something that's not correct. The fact that it works for other users means that you're very close.

Work status question

Hi gurus,
I've a problem with work status, maybe i'm a little lost.
I've the following hierarchy (5 level hierarchy)
099-- (owner: user2)
    -001   (owner: user2)
     00101   (owner:user1)
          0010101    (owner:user1)
                                 001010101 (owner:user1)
                                 001010102   (owner:user1)
                                 001010103   (owner:user1)
The user always insert data in member level in BAS(00101) [001010101,001010102,001010103]
I want that once the user1 enters the data for the [001010101,001010102,001010103] cost center, he closes these cost center and
he won't be able to reopen again. and if he would have to enter data the user2 must open these cost center.
So i have three work status
DEFAULT WORK STATUS     ALL   ALL ALL ALL ALL       BOTH
OPEN                                     ALL   ALL ALL ALL ALL       OWNER
CLOSED                           LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK MANAGER
When i go to BPC web to change the work status i selected 00101 and "include children in data region"
and change the work status to CLOSED, after that the user 1 isn't be able to insert data. But the user1 can enter again and change the work status of 00101 "include children in data region" to OPEN and then he can insert data.
I don't know what i'm missing. Any help, please?
Best regards

Hi,
I've changed the work status as you have indicated me but it doesn't work.
user 1 can set the work status to closed but he can reverse this work status to Open.
I don't want the user2 closes the work status because below 001 there are many branches
001 (user2)
    00101 (user1) --- children (owner of all user1)
    00102 (user3) --- children (owner of all user3)
    00103 (user4)
   00125 (userXX)
I want that every user close his branch and not be able to enter data. Unless the user 2 opens this branch.
Thank you for your patience

E-mail Notification of Work Status Change

Hi Experts, I configured and triggered a BPC e-mail notification for Work Status change. However, there are few areas I would like to improve on. Please help. A sample notification message is attached below. Areas highlighted in red are the areas I would like to improve on.
Subject: You have received an automated message from %PRODUCT2%
The work status code of Entity has been changed by RCHU:
This is to inform you that RCHU has updated the work status to Submitted on 01/09/2012 16:21 UTC.
Category:C_Actual
Entity:E_1211
Time:2007.FEB
New Status:Submitted
Date/Time:01/09/2012 16:21 UTC
Here are my questions.
1. Subject line - Where do I configure the variable %PRODUCT2% ?
2. Entity - How can I display the description of the Entity?
3. Date/Time - How can I display local time instead of UTC?
Thank you in advance for your help. We are running the Microsoft version of BPC.

The periodic scripts or launchd would have to send the email. I don't think you have to do anything to send mail, just receive it, you can check that from the command line:
mail [email protected]
When you finish your message put a period on a blank line and hit return, that indiecates the end of the message.
The one butt biter is that Apple puts a .forward file in all home directories that says to direct all mail to /dev/null , essentially it sends it to a black hole. You'll need to edit this file and put in your email address (if you want the email to go there) or the mails (should) wait for the user to run the mail command to read their messages.
The mail command has a fairly extensive man page:
man mail

BPC 7.5 - Multiple Usernames in the owner property for Work Status Update

Good Day,
We have an issue in our BPC system, where our organisation dimension(entity) has an owner property which is maintained with multiple usernames. The issues comes in when we have to update the Work status for locking. The system recognises the first username as the owner property and only that first username can change or update the workstatus in BPC. We have a problem with that because we have a team of people that manages process.
The error that we get when one of the usernames other than the first one tries to update the work status is - "User not a Manager/Owner, Work status cannot be updated".
Please advise of the solution we are BPC 7.5 SP17
Thanks,
Themba

How to configure Work Status in BPC?

Hello everybody,
I have some problems with the hierarchy of work status control. I will explain it with a simple example.
I have 3 entities: A, B and C. A is B's parent, and B i C's parent.I have the status: Opened, submitted company, submitted subgroup, approved.
C is entering data with the status opened. When C finish, C change the status to submitted company. In that moment, C can´t enter more data because BPC desn´t let it. B's owner can enter data in C, but not C's owner.Ok, perfect.
Then B enter some data in C and change the status to submitted subgroup. In that moment, A can enter data in C but B continue being able to enter data too, and I would like that B couldn't enter data in C although A could.How can I configure this? Is it possible?
Thank you very much.

Hi Fernando,
The issue that you have is really familiar for me. We have exactly the same problem in a client a had.
As you explain, SAP BPC approval process have this problem. The conclusion is BPC approval process (Workstatus) only have 2 approval level, Owner and Manager.
Sorry but in your case when C have the power of introduce data, B could introduce data as well.
You should use reviewer option. Maybe with this functionality you can increment an approval level. For example C could be reviewer of each entity B is owner.
I expect my explanation solve your doubts

BPF an Work Status in BPC v10

Hi averybody,
I am working in a project of BPC v10 and i have a question i would like to solve. Specifically i want to know if the new version of SAP BPC allow you to associate a step of the BPF with a change of the work status strictly.
Does anybody know something concerning this item? Any additional information about new functionalities of BPF and work status?
Thanks in advance,

Hi
You can certainly do that. When you've created a set of work statuses and want to associate the work states to a BPF, you can associate with a setting for Related Action along with the Input you are providing to the suers (scrnsht below). I am not sure you can make it mandatory for the user to change work status setting, but you can allow a change in the work status.

Manage work status in BPC 7

Hi experts,
I would like to know if we can manage work status in bpc excel. I have see that we can use evlck to get the status of the work status and we can use MNU_esubmit_modify to open the bpcweb page to modify work status.
But I want to modify the workstatus in bpc excel.
Do you have any solution ? with macro or other ?
Thanks in advance

Dear Janeth Sarai Ripert,
I suggest you to update the work status using BPC Web. If you want to force it using macro, I will give you information likes as:
1. SAP BPC will write the work status data into the table "dbo.tblfinancelock". It's for Finance Application
2. If you want to directly write data into that table, please you use the uppercase format.
3. SAP BPC never update data when the user updated that work status. SAP BPC will create one record.
4. You only can update work status data directly but not for update sub menu at BPF
Thanks,

Work Status error BPC NW 7.5

Hi,
I am having some trouble with Work Status for BPC NW 7.5.
When trying to change status I always get same message: "Controlled by rule has been violated". I've tried with differente ussers and I am suer they have all rights necessary to change status but, there is no way.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Raul

We have already made all tasks related to Work Status:
1. Configuring Work Status u2013 Like Unlocked, Submitted and Approved
2. Enter the Owner property in dim Entity
3. Configure the work status setting at the application level: Entity as owner, Time and Category "YES"
4. Aplication Administration --> Define the hierarchy as H1. We have defined the hierarchy in Entity PANETH1 also
But still didn't work... as we though it should. We have gone through the Admisnitration manual for BPC NW75 and check everything again. Everythign was correct. But, we checked all appendix also. There is where SAP explains how is all working. In some stage, BPC thogh we were the manager (because of the Entity hierarchy structure) but our Work status was not define for a Manager (because we don't need it). We made a try with everything in BOTH and is Working!!! Cool.
We are going to adjust everythign to our requirements now. But, we now itiis working correctly.
Thank you very much for you help.
