BPC 7.5 NW - EVDRE builder blank

Hello all.
I have a problem with my BPC NW system.
I have installed BPC 7.5 SP05 in my server, and the client I am using is at SP05 Patch 2 level.
There are two Appsets: the ApShell (with Rate and Planning applications) and one more which I created.
This one is called TestAppSet, I created it as a copy of ApShell and it has 4 application: AppA, AppB,
AppC and AppD. The first three were created with Add Application, and the last one as a copy of Rate.
Then, my problem is: when I try to create an EVDRE in TestAppSet and one of the applications
I created with Add Application, the EVDRE builder comes blank, with no dimensions to select, but if
I try to do an EVDRE for AppD it works fine. It works fine too with ApShell.
I read another thread with a similar problem, EVDRe builder blank (with no dimensions)
but I think it is not my case because people say that it was
an user issue, but I have the problem with more than one user and in more than one client system. Furthermore,
the other problem was with all the applications in the AppSet, and in my case it works for some applications.
Have I got to do any configurations in the server specific to new applications? Or in the applications parameters
to activate EVDRE?
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards,
Fernando

are you running on Windows7, by any chance?
We had the same issue on Windows7 and resolved it with a registry change.
Reset below registry key value from U to <username>
Start > Run > regedit
Navigate to below registry key and modify the userid from U to your windows/bpc userid.
Registry Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal

  • No Dimension in EVDRE builder

    Hi,
    We are facing a strange issue. No dimensions are visible in EVDRE builder.
    This happens only with consolidation application.For all other applications able to view dimensions when trying to build EVDRE.
    i have gone thru couple of forums but none of them seem to be answered.
    I have tried following notes - 1537010, 1379274
    what else can be tried?
    we are on NW 7.5, SP5.
    any thoughts/inputs appreciated.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Update is -
    EVDRE builder started showing dimension list after i have included both dimensions of type G and R in consol application.
    is it ok to have both types G and R in the application? any thoughts ?
    BPC should definetely improve upon messaging system. Many a time system system does not respond as expected, we will have to do lot of trail and error to identify the resaon for such behaviour.
    If only BPC throws a message that certain thing is wrongly configured/placed then we can react immediately and take corrective action instead of wasting so much time on r&d.
    thanks.

  • Activate the EVDRE Builder after developing a Input Schedule

    Hello Everyone,
    Heading 2: I had a quick question about EVDRE.
    Say U open a Builder using the EVDRE and select an Account in the Row and the Time in the column expansion.
    After going thru some modification and formatting you realise that you need to also add the sort range and the Number of expansions for the Row and the column has to be increased to 3X 2 from 1X1.
    Is there a way to open the builder again on the same sheet that we are developing rather than manually adding the expansions using the traditional copy paste method.
    Thank you and Best Regards,
    Shankar Ayapilla

    Hi,
    As per my understanding you wanted the ROW and COL., expansions to be added in the template without going
    outside, I mean going to EVDRE builder is it correct?  If so you can copy the Exapansion 2 and paste adjusent to it,
    but make Expansion 3 and change the Dimension as per your requirement similarly for Expansion 4 and set the
    memberset as per your requirement and click Expand All and Refresh it.  Then it will work.
    I hope this may help you.

  • BPC 7.5 NW - EVDRE error retrieving data

    Hello all.
    I have a problem with my BPC 7.5 NW system.
    I am working with BPC 7.5 NW SP07, and I did all the installation and configuration steps with both .NET and ABAP components.
    But when I try to execute an EVDRE, the system shows the next error message:
         "EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from Web Server"
    I checked ST22 transaction and I saw that /BI0/02xxx tables are not created or activated. I checked these tables in SE11 transaction, and they don´t exist.
    I saw several posts and a couple of notes with this problem. They say that these temporary tables are needed to be created or activated, but I couldn´t see anywhere the way to solve the problem in case the tables are not created.
    Does anyone have any idea? What is the cause of this problem? Why these are not being created?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Fernando

    1. Login into BPC for Admin
    2. Once logged into your Appset , open the Dimension library
    3. Process each dimension by selecting the "Process members from membersheet" and by unchecking the "Take system offline" option
    4. Process all the dimensions one by one not together.
    5. Once processing the dimensions is done then open the Applications and Modify each Application by adding or changing the Application Description.
    6. Once done modifying Applications then logout of the BPC Admin and BPC Excel.
    7. Login back again into BPC for Excel by going through the connection wizard.
    Ideally this should solve your problem and If all the dimensions are processed successfully then logoff and login to see if you stilll see the EVDRE error.
    Hope this helps.

  • BPC 7.5 NW - EVDRE reports

    Hello Experts,
    I have a couple of questions regarding the EVDRE reports, and would like to seek your guidance.
    1.  How do we configure the EVDRE reports to display the account balances using the database signage?  In other words, we would like to display the INC and the LEQ accounts as negative numbers (or in paranthesis), & the AST and EXP account balances as positive numbers.
    2.  In our reports, the row key range is Sheet1!$H$18:$H:$25.  If I add a formula in column J, it is getting copied to all the rows when the report expands.  However, the formula in column G is not expanding along with the rows.  I tried to modify the row key range in the key range section of the report, but I got an error saying "runExpand: rowkeyrange <> rowExpandOptions wks: Sheet1".  What am I doing wrong here?
    As always, thanks in advance for all your guidance.
    Best regards,
    Van.

    Hi,
    I wouldnt suggest to create a custom measure just for a single report. However, it is upto you. If you are comfortable with that, you can definitely go ahead with it. You can go to the measureformula table in the SQL database under the database of your appset. Refer to the periodic formula. You just need to copy that formula, and adjust the multiplication by -1 factor in that formula, and you are good to go. You need to do one thing and that is you need to maintain an entry in the mesureformulaapp table, so that your application will use this measure.
    If you dont want to create a custom measure, you can use a formula in the report, directly (which you have already tried). However, as you have noticed, the formula got copied to other cells. This is happening because you have a dynamic template. If the structure of the template is going to be pretty much the same, everytime, you can remove the expansion, and your function will not be copied to the other cells.
    Hope this helps.

  • BPC 7.0 MS upgrade - EVDRE:OK not displaying in templates and reports

    Hello again,
    A strange behaviour in EVDRE templates and reports is noticed:
    Version - BPC 7.0 MS
    EVDRE templates and reports (built in 5.1, working fine) are migrated along with the appset in BPC 7.0.
    Found that the EXPANDALL doesn't work neither shows error or hangs. But the reports are refreshed for CV selection.
    While checking the control panel, noticed that the 'EVDRE:OK' is missing, cell is blank/ orange shaded, No EVDRE errors.
    This applies for the sample EVDRE templates as well as complex reports with multiple EVDREs.
    If we logout and re-launch the BPC Excel / Reports again, it is working as usual.
    The occurance of this behaviour is quite frequent or we missing any setting.
    Does anybody encountered this and throw some light to troubleshoot.
    Thanks.
    Warm Regards
    Uma

    Hi Wellington,
    Have tried those options.. its unstable behaviour.
    Noticed that this issue happen only when we switch over to multiple BPC enviroments. Working on DEV - Excel templates and switch over the QA or PRD environment with the same template open...
    The issue happens.. EVDRE:OK doesn't show, in the cell A1, click F2 , we can see this formula =EVDRE($B$57,A6:B13,A19:B25) and hitting ENTER , responds nothing. A1 cell is blank.
    WorkAround :: I shut down EXCEL, relaunch again.
    I have experienced this only in BPC 7.0.112, earlier 5.X no issues.
    Experts,
    Please confirm whether this is a product bug.

    Satish,
    If you have the software installed, you also have the help files.  eTools -> "Business Planning and Consolidation for Office Help" -> and then search in the index for EVDRE.
    The same documentation is available from the software download center, in PDF format. As with the software, this is available for licensees of the BPC software.
    The purpose of this forum is to share information on topics that are not readily available in the standard documentation.
    Please don't continue asking the forum to email you basic information -- you need to take responsibility to find things yourself, and to demonstrate to the forum that you've exhausted these basic channels of information before asking for help here.

  • Using "calc' function to show if the cell is editable(EVDRE Reports)

    Hello All,
    I have a question regarding using the "calc' property in my dimension 'ACCOUNT' in a EvDRE report to display the rows as calculated or input ready cells. I have developed an input template by opening a blank workbook and typing in EVDRE(). I have listed ACCOUNT to be in the rows and Time in the columns. I have listed the memberset to be members in the ACCOUNT and SELF, DEP in the Time dimension. Whenever I expand the EVDRE, I always get the cells to be 'yellow' in color similiar to the calc format. How do I differentiate between the Calculated cell and the input cell. I was thinking to use the CALC functionality similiar to the reports/input schedules written using EVGTS/EVSND functions.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi  bpc4livin,
    Take note that even though you have specified the base members as memberset in your EVDRE, still you must have base level members in your Current View in the Action pane. Remember that each data cells in an EVDRE template is an intersection of the dimension in your rows and columns plus the rest of the dimensions in your application which would come in your current view if you don't define them as memberset. So as long as there is one calculated member in your current view still the cell would be marked as calculated.
    You can use EVDRE's format range to format a scpecific cell or group of cells. To activate this after you typed the EVDRE and refresh the sheet, you must check the allow formatting option in the EVDRE builder that appears. I think that there is already a default format in the format range that says that if a data cell is calculated it would be colored yellow. So if you want further knowldege on how to use the format range, you could see the Using Reports Help in the See Also section of the action pane of the BPC Excel.
    Hope this helps,
    MVS

  • EVDRE scaling / formatting problem

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the representation of my data in BPC Excel.
    If I build input or report schedules and use the EVDRE() function, all data values are multiplied by the factor 10,000,000.
    For example, I send the value "4,000" via an input schedule and refresh my worksheet afterwards. Then the workbook shows the value "40,000,000,000" instead of "4000". Nevertheless, the data value in the database itself is correct because if I retrieve the value via the EVGET() function I get the correct value "4,000".
    I tried almost everything including different settings concerning cell formats, but the problem remains.
    I appreciate your help very much!
    Thanks,
    Christian

    Hi,
    thanks for your response.
    I tried different input schedules and reports (templates and manually created ones). Furthermore, I checked the cell format settings within the format section of the EVDRE() function. I also tried client options -> "Clear local application information" and "Refresh dynamic templates". But unfortunately the problem is still there...

  • Dimension attributes in BPC

    Hi Gurus,
    Can dimension attributes be used as selection or filtering criteria inside BPC?
    Thanks in advance,
    Raffi

    Raffi,
    I'm assuming that you are asking about filters for reporting purposes.  In this case, the answer is "yes" (it is "yes" for script logic as well, for that matter).
    In order to build an expansion based on dimension properties in an EVDRE, open the control panel and right-click on the "MemberSet" field for the dimension you want to expand with a filter.  Then choose the "EVDRE: Build Filter" menu item.
    If you are not using EVDRE you can do the same sort of thing with many of the other BPC Excel functions including EvEXP, which allows you to specify an MDX filter on dimension member properties (among other things).

    But when i checked in BPC developement there is no probelm.
    We are on BPC7.5 NWsp04 and BI7.01.
    In BPC, production,when i try to create evdre template(just after filling
    information in evdre builder), immediately getting same error information.
    I read few notes, did as per that but sill problem exists. In note, mentioned process dim of particular application and process application. Logout from bpc admin & excel.

    Hi frineds,
    SAP OSS team resolved along with our basis guy.
    Initially SAP supported notes:
    1.1475233 and 1378705 Process all dimensions and applications.
    2.1355954 Drop SAP temp tables.
    3.1428764 confilict only if you use Oracle 10 g, if you don't, then forget it.
    I used 1378705 and problem resolved temporarly, but still exists after 1 day.
    There are different reasons for getting the error message. In our case, problem is at backend BW and, BW system running on HP unix OS.
    Checked librfc32.dll in the
    directory /usr/sap/BP1/DVEBMGS00/exe.
    Executed the following MDX statment in MDXTEST transcaction, and it
    executed in both the available instances.
    SELECT
    {[Measures].MEMBERS} ON COLUMNS,
    [0MATERIAL].[LEVEL00].MEMBERS ON ROWS
    FROM [$ZCO_CDPC].
    Even i also don't have clue how SAP resolved this issue.

  • 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.......

  • Reporting on Multiple Hierarchies (with EvDRE)

    Hi all,
    I have a question regarding multiple hierarchies in one dimension. So if we have one member that belongs to different hierarchies:
    1) can we access it with EvDRE? (I've tried it without success).
    2) if not, how can we report accessing the appropriate value (that is, accessing the appropriate hierarchy?)
    I would like to be able to access its value and setting up an expansion based on both hierarchies.

  • BPC 7.0 (MS) Front-End install quesiton (languages)

    Hi everyone,
    We are delivering our BPC reports and input schedules in english but some of our non-english speaking locations are asking if they can install the BPC front-end on their computers in another language.
    Today the financial planning system is all english, so that there is no problem with having it all in one.
    Does anyone know, can english front-end be installed on a non-english client computer?  Or do I need to install BPC front-end in the same language that the client computer is set to?
    Also, another assumption I wanted to ask about is this, Can I assume that only the "Windows" constructs of BPC are changed to a different language when installed in another language?  For example, is it true then that the BPC links and drop down menus etc. would be in another language but the reports & input schedules would exist in whichever language they were developed in?
    Thanks for any assistance with this!
    Kind Regards,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    It is possible to install BPC in english on a non-english computer. But to be honest, there are some known problems.
    From my experience, you can install BPC in any language, but you should be aware of maintaining correct Regional Settings on the client machine, such as decimal separator, etc...
    To answer the second question, having a French BPC client installed will display every menus and links from Action Pane in French. Having also Excel in French installed will display native Excel function in French in your report and not in English (SOMME(....) instead of SUM(...) for example). However, all BPC functions, such as EVDRE, or others, won't be changed.
    Hope this helps.
    Kind Regards,
    Patrick

  • EvDRE Property Expansion

    Hello,
    I would like to know if it is possible to create an expansion based on one property in a dimension. For ex.:
    Dimension Entity has ID and the Property 'ManagerName'. There is no hierarchy which includes 'ManagerName'. I would like to group data by 'ManagerName', without having to expand the whole Entity dimension with its own members.
    Is that possible or do I need to create a further hierarchy?
    Thx
    Elio

    Hi,
    Nilanjan is right. But you can also directly build a filter by right-clicking in the Memberset cell used for your expansions (rows or columns), and choose EVDRE build filter.... then you can just decide here what property you would like your expansion to be based on. The syntax in the Memberset cell will be exactly the same than if you it directly following above example.
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
    Patrick
