BPC 7.0 SP07 & BPC Powerpoint

Hi all,
I have tried to use BPC Powerpoint with BPC 7.0 SP07. It seems that it doesn't work fine:
1- sometimes when I insert an Excel object (ie a BPC Excel EVDRE report) into a slide I just have a blank sheet.
2- sometimes the EVDRE report is visible but all group lines and columns are visible too. I have to edit the report from BPC Powerpoint to hide all unecessary rows and columns. In this case it seems that the report doesn't depend on the Current view of BPC Powerpoint. For example, my report displays the quarters which depends on the Time current view. If I change the current view in BPC Powerpoint and I click on "Retrieved all data" nothing occurs. When I click on "Expand all", I have an error message: "You should select the Excel object".
Have you already seen these problems?
thanksfor your help,
Romuald

Hi
Romuald Colletaz
We are thinking about applying SP07
Please provide more insight on why did SAP release SP07 so early after SP06
is there any particular issue that cannot be solved by SP06
this is important for us since we are in the process of applying SP06
your inputs are highly appreciated
thanks

Read-only scenario issue in SAP BPC 7.0 SP07

Please do not post duplicate threads across forums.
Hi
This is related to SAP BPC.
The appset which runs on SAP BPC 7.0 SP07, is not able to write on read-only scenarios, while the appset which runs on SAP BPC 7.0 SP3, allows to write through script logic.
If a read-only scenario cannot be written even through a script logic, it is impossible to finalize working versions.
So, let me know if anyone came across such similar problem.And how was it resolved?
Thank you.

BPC 7.0 SP07 - Multi Server Install

Hi All,
We are just starting the process of installing BPC 7.0 SP07 and trying to decide what components to add on a two server architecture. This is what we are planning to do:
Server 1 (64 bit) consists of: SQL, OLAP and Reporting servers
Server 2 (32 bit) consists of: Application, web and FileShare servers
We thought of this architecture because application and web servers cannot be installed on 64 bit OS. Please let us know if we are going in the right path or not and are there any potential problems we will run into.
Also, I downloaded BPC 7.0 SP07 since that is the latest service pack available. I had to download three different zip files - server, language and client for SMS packages. Where as the SP03 had only one zip file. I don't know why there are three different zip files and at what point during installation I need to use those. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

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,

SAP BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.0 upgrade, problem CPMBPC_800

Hello,
We are currently upgrading BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.0. We want to do an upgrade of our existing BPC 7.5, and not an 'clean' installation of BPC 10.0.
Right now we are having some issues with the´basis part of the upgrade.
We have installed the POASBC 100_730 SP01 (POASBC ABAP component) with no problems
and now we want to install the EPM content in the download package 51040691 (Server components).
In the download package 51040691 - there are two folders 'upgrade' and 'installation'
The files have been uploaded into SAP BW 7.3 and the problem now is in 'saint' - we can see the CPMBPC_800 package, but the type is 'INSTALLATION' and there is not an option to choose 'UPGRADE'
Is 'INSTALLATION' the same as a clean installation - or will the package detect the existing SAP BPC 7.5 and do upgrade instead of an installation ?
All help is appreciated
Thank you,

Hello,
we are facing the same issue. Did somebody solve this problem? Is INSTALLTION the same as UPGRADE?
Kind Regards

BPC 7.5 vs BPC 10.0

Does anybody have any experience in BPC 10.0? Which are the best advantantages of BPC 10.0? Are there any disadvantages? We are very happy with EVDRE functionality in BPC 7.5, and it is substituted in BPC 10.0. For that, we are thinking of making a new installation in SAP BPC 7.5 instead of BPC 10.0. We have seen in ramp-up presentation that apparently is more attactive, but we are not sure that the functionality is better than in 7.5.
Could anybody clear my mind?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Fernando,
With BPC 10.0 all BPC consultants are blessed with better performance and better integration with other SAP products. Its something to feel happy about. But, I can understand your concerns......
[http://help.sap.com/content/bobj/sbu/docu_sbs_bpc_design.htm#] check this for online documentation and release notes.
Yes EvDRE will not be there....... thats what is according to the release notes and upgrade guide.... but some of the talks still say that customers have requested SAP to keep supporting EvDRE. If this is true.... then yes..... BPC 10 will have EvDRE along with Extended Analytics....... Extended analytics will be far more superior tool when compared to EvDRE from many angles... which enables better integration with other EPM products. Functinality in BPC 10.0 going to be definitely better than 7.5 .. thats why new releases come ;)........
Hope this helps....
Happy to help again.......

Migration from BPC 7.5 to BPC 10

Dear BPC Friends
As you know the end of mainstream maintenance for the version SAP BPC 7.5 MS is 31.03.2016.
Which will be the risk involved if we don't upgrade?
Because my company has been running a project to implement SAP ECC, SAP BW and SAP BO (the project started about three years ago and probably to complete the roll-up it will take about another 3 years) which are the benefits to migrate to version 10.1 for NW instead of 10 MS?
Which are the disavantages?
thanks
Michele

Hi Michele,
The end of mainstream maintenance means there will be no further service packs or patches for BPC MS 7.5. Upgrading to BPC MS 10 or BPC NW 10.0/10.1 would be your three options.
I suggest speaking with a certified SAP consultant or partner to start planning now to determine what is the best option for you.
Thanks,
John

Unable to connect to environment after migrating Security from BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.1

Hi Experts,
We are working on BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.1 NW migration and after migrating the environment, we are unable to connect to environment.
While trying to access, we are getting the following error:
After taking a backup of the necessary environment in BPC 7.5 NW we are carrying out the 2 steps in the BPC 10.1 NW box:
Step 1 : Tcode UJBR - Restore the environment in BPC 10.1
Results: This is working fine.
Step 2: Program UJT_MIGRATE_75_TO_101 - Running the migration utility in BPC 10.1 to make the objects compatible with BPC.
2.1 Execute without Security Mapping
Results:
This is working fine. We are able to connect to the Environment and access the dimensions and models.
2.2 Execute with only Security Mapping
Results:
After this step, we are not able to access the environments and are getting the Logon error.
cannot get model "" in environment "xxxxxx" from Admin module
The logon attempt failed; contact your administrator.
If you have any options to resolve this error, it would be great.
Else, we will have to re-build the entire security design manually.
Regards,
Sushant Pradhan

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your response. Yes, my id has SAP_ALL authorization.
Still unable to access the environment after migrating security.
To make things less complicated, we went back to BPC 7.5 NW - deleted all unwanted user ids, we kept only 3 user ids. Then, we took backup of application set and restored it in BPC 10.1.
We created a mapping file of those 3 user ids in BPC 10.1 as NW user ids and executed the Migration utility. Again we have same error.
Regards,
Sushant Pradhan.

Migration from BPC Microsoft Version to BPC netweaver Version?

Dear all,
we plan to migrate bpc.
what tools that we use to Migration BPC Microsoft Version to BPC netweaver Version ?
Any suggestion for safety technique?

Hi Tara,
As far as I know there is no automatic method provided by SAP right now to migrate from SAP BPC MS to SAP BPC NW.
Please have in mind that the front end will be the same, but the backend will be different: BW, BADIS and ABAP (In NW) vs SQL, SSIS packages, Stored Procedures and Visual Basic (In MS). Which means that there will not be an easy way to perform this migration in an automatic way.
Hope this helps

Are there any enhancements from BPC 5.1 to BPC 7.0? If so what are they?

Are there any enhancements from BPC 5.1 to BPC 7.0? If so what are they? We are trying to figure out whether or not to capitalize an upgrade.

Hi,
There have been lot of enhancements incorporated in BPC 7.0
1. BPC 5.1 was running either on SQL 2000 or SQL 2005. However, BPC 7.0 works on SQL 2005 or SQL 2008. The preferred one is SQL 2008, since the performance is much better.
2. Because of the change in the SQL version, BPC 5.1 was able to support DTS packages alongwith DTSX. However, BPC 7.0 supports only DTSX packages.
3. The logic debugger is in place to debug the script logics.
4. While processing the dimension, there is an option for validating the dimension logics written.
Hope this gives you some idea on the enhancements.

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

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.

BPC 7.5 to BPC 10 upgrade

Hi experts,
Currently our system is BPC 7.5(BASE level) on NW 7.0 EHP1. this server is for our internal purpose. we are planning to upgrade it to BPC 10.0. it will be direct upgrade on the same server.
I am concerned about whether we need to uninstall previous version 7.5 BPC and then install 10.0?
What are the other requirements,
Please guide me through this.

Alok

Upgrade BPC 7.53 to BPC 10.0

Hello,
we are running on BW 7.3 with BPC Version 7.53 (not 7.50), which is necessary one for a NW 7.3 system. We would like to upgrade to BPC 10.0, but unfortunatelly SAP provides no explicit information about this scenario.
Does somebody know if this upgrade is supported by SAP?
Are there any experience with this scenario?
Kind Regards
Waldemar

Hello,
I have opened an OSS message and the answer is as follows:
The upgrade from BPC NW 7.53 to BPC NW 10.0 is possible. Once it is
successfully done by an SAP partner or the SAP consulting service (who
are supposed to know exactly if there are some changes needed to be
done on the system) it will be supported by our primary support team.
Maybe this will help somebody else, too.
Kind Regards

BPC 5.1 and BPC 7 NW

Hi:
Has anyone installed both BPC 5.1 and 7.0 NW on the same machine?
We need to demo 5.1 and 7 NW to different clients and are wondering if we can use same machine to install both versions.
I do not see any specific technical requirement conflicts in the installation document.
Has anyone tried this with success? Any issue to look out for?
Thanks,
Subramania

Hi Subramania,
I assume you're talking about the client only, not the server. I had a BPC 7 NW client installed on my machine back in October (an early release) and it didn't allow an install without first uninstalling the BPC 5.1 MS client. Likewise, to go back to 5.1 MS I had to uninstall the 7.0 NW.
This may have been improved in the most recent builds of 7.0, but I would be very surprised if they can sit side-by-side.
I'd recommend using a virtual machine setup for one or the other, even if it's just a VM running XP with the BPC client software (i.e., not the BPC server).

BPC 5.0 or BPC 7.0

Folks,
I have a client Starting to implement BPC in 2nd
Half of this year and Go-Live March 2009.
There is an Intention to use BPC for all
FI-CO reporting and for process of planning
and consolidation.
Now if we Go BPC 5.0 then all data at document level is expected to reside in BPC
in the sql server.
The above means not loading BW with any FICO info and
loading BPC 5.0 from ECC.
My take on this situation is
1. Signup for ramp up BPC 7.o since Go-Live is next
year.
2. If for some reason you cannot get on to ramp up then implement BPC 5.0 with the following Architecture
1. All FICO data goes to BW using Business content extractors etc
2. Use OpenHub to push data at an aggregate level to fulfill needs of Consolidation and Planning for BPC 5.0 which sits on Sql server.
3. Extract final numbers back from BPC into BW using DBconnect.
4. In the above scenario you can still do basic reporting in BPC needed to support the process of consolidation and planning without making BPC 5.0 the environment for all FICO reporting . This will be consistent with the roadmap in my opinion.
Normally I dont advocate rampup but in this case feel worth it.
Any thoughts appreciated.

I was recently informed (by someone who had attended a sales presentation of BPC) that BPC7.0 will be available in GA at the end of June of this year. Apparently they have a ramp up customer that started in March.
