BPC 7.5NW Username Change Issue

I've been having a weird issue when a user has a name change. As an example, I have an initial user (DOMAIN\clwho) that has access to BPC and everything is working fine. She gets married and changes her user ID (DOMAIN\cwdoe) in active directory and requests that her new ID has the same access in BPC as the old one. If we add the new credentials to BPC and assign it all the same rights and stop there then everything is fine. However, if we delete the old username (DOMAIN\clwho) then she can no longer log in. The message we get is that DOMAIN\clwho doesn't have permission even though we're attempting to log in with DOMAIN\cwdoe.
Any idea why this is happening? I thought there would be something in active directory causing it, but the guys who manage that tell me that they don't see anything mapping DOMAIN\cwdoe to DOMAIN\clwho. I'd like to be able to just add DOMAIN\clwho back into BPC, but that ID no longer exists in AD.

Vadim,
I did try to remove everything for that user from the Admin Console and then just recreate the access for the new user id, but it still doesn't work. Do you know which table references the SID and User ID? I tried to find something in all of the UJE_* tables, but no luck.
Thanks,
Jimmy

BPC 7.5NW Report Issues When Requesting Year To Date Data

Dynamic reports built with 2 row expansions (Cost Ctr, Account) up to 3 columns (not expansions, set to different categories with excel formulas for variance calculations...Act vs. Bud for example) result in error messages (error retrieving data and another related error messge) when requesting YTD data vs. Periodic data. The report runs fast and properly with Periodic measure. When running with the YTD measure, attempts to reduce the report data volume by removing comparative categories and removing formatting (after ranges) still results in YTD data retrieve errors.
Has anyone else had similar issues with BPC 7.5NW, SP9, and YTD data not pulling into reports? What are the common causes for issues with YTD data retrieval? Given the design by SAP of the BPC NW product and promotion of using BPC for both Periodic and YTD data, should I expect this report to work properly, meaning that I can get output with YTD data without long runtimes or errors that result in terminating the report? Thank you.

Transport of Security objects in BPC 7.5NW

As a part of NW BPC transports, changed the entries in table UJT_TRANS_CHG. For the 1st transport (from DEV to QA)wanted to transport ALL objects including Security and Teams. So, selected 'Development' for ALL objects under this table.
After the transport collection via tcode UJBPCTR and importing into QA, found that 'Users', 'Teams' and 'Task Profiles' did NOT transport. 'Member Access Profiles' did transport to QA.
I expected 'Users', 'Teams' and 'Task Profiles' also to be transported. We are on SAP BPC 7.5NW, SP4.
Am I missing something here ?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
we had the same problem and didn't know if Security objects could be transported, but we found the BPC User Mass Management Tool.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d0cdbccf-0def-2d10-298d-f4223de9a6ed&overridelayout=true
This could help you to export the security objects in DEV and import the objects in PRD.
The transports you need for the ZUJE_MASS_USER_MGMT Programm you found on page 46 in the document mentioned above.
Please let me know if we could help you.

BPC 7.5NW consolidation error

Hi,
We are using BPC 7.5 NW version (7.50.04). We changed standard dimension 'GROUPS' to dimension type 'R' and included it in our legal applications.
We are using below logic to run both currency conversion and legal consolidation.
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
      CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
      GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
      TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
      RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
*RUN_PROGRAM CONSOLIDATION
    CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
    GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
    TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
The standard data manager package with process chain 'LEGAL_CONSOLIDATION' fails with error message 'Member "G_CG2" not exist'. G_CG2 is a member of GROUP dimension. When we executed the below logic (with hardcoded variables) in BW transaction UJKT, it worked fine and posted values correctly.
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
      CATEGORY = C_100
      GROUP = G_CG2
      TID_RA = 2008.DEC
      RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
*RUN_PROGRAM CONSOLIDATION
    CATEGORY = C_100
    GROUP = G_CG2
    TID_RA = 2008.DEC
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
Any idea, why system is not able to recognize 'G_CG2' when we use data manager package? In BPC 7.5NW, is it mandatory to use both 'R' and 'G' type dimensions? SAP Help has different contradictory views !!!

Hi Nilanjan,
We are using 'GROUPS' dimension of type 'R'.
The above dimension has members of both GROUPS and CURRENCY (ex: G_CG1, G_CG2, LC, USD etc).
1) Run currency translation for 'USD'. The logic works fine if i change it as follows:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
CURRENCY = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
2) Run currency translation for 'G_CG2'. The logic works if i change it as follows:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
3) Run COI for 'G_CG2'. The logic works if i change it as follows:
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
CATEGORY = %C_CATEGORY_SET%
GROUP = %GROUPS_SET%
TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM
4) The logic is executed successfully from BW UJKT if i hardcode the values for 'GROUPS' dimension.

BPC 7.5NW - Client SP6 - Unable to log in to clients on older versions

REPOSTED UNDER BPC 7.5NW FORUM
Edited by: Sunil Narahari on Mar 7, 2011 2:04 PM

I'm having a similar problem with 10.5.2 Leopard server and client -- no Tiger involved.
I have the green light on the login screen and am able to log in as an OD administrator, but regular OD users are rejected with a login window shake. I never specified any home directories because they were auto-generated on machines locally when I logged in with the OD administrator.
Apple phone support were able to duplicate my problem and had me do an Enterprise Data Capture. Apple engineers were also able to duplicate my problem. Here is some of what phone support emailed me:
+I got a reply from engineering. They said they were able to duplicate the issue with a 10.5 up to a 10.5.2 client with no home directory specified. The only current workaround is to set up an automount location for home directories and specify a home location place for the users. The clients do not have to be bound to the server, they just need to have a home folder directory specified.+
+Engineering is aware of the issue and are working on it. For now this is the only workaround we have.+
I haven't had a chance to try this Apple workaround, but maybe it will help you.

Measures:YTD behavior in BPC 7.5NW

All,
Has anyone come across this?
When I execute EVDRE and use measures, my PERIODIC and QTD are working fine. But YTD is working incorrectly and the behaves just like QTD. Account I am doing is for EXP account. I am on BPC 7.5NW Pack 4. Any help is appreciated?

Hi Danny,
You can try changing the text description of your application in the admin console and resaving it, which should reset the delivered measure formulas. However, I wonder if there is something wrong with your time hierarchy. How is your Time dimension hierarchy set up?

BPC Admin and Excel 2007 issues

Having issues with excel when using BPC Admin. Excel keeps freezing up. It seems to happen on a team member's computer also. Any idea what might be causing it?

Hi Krishna,
This happens due to improper user access. You need to create the user profile again. And also you can check the following steps for the same:
Enable OSoftAddIn from Excel Options :
Open Excel Options
Click Add-Ins
Select Disabled Items in the Manage box and then click Go
Select OSoftAddIn from the list and the click Enable
Reconnect to BPC for Excel so changes could take effects
If, when you re-open Excel, the add-in still shows as disabled, follow these steps first:
Open Interenet Explorer, Click Tools>Internet Options, Advanced tab, Security
Make sure the box for u201CDo not save encrypted pages to disku201D is checked. Apply changes.
Hope this helps.

Using a variable in an allocation routine in SAP BPC 7.5NW

Below is a very simple BPC allocation routine I wrote. The data originally sits on a dummy profit center and needs to be allocated to all itu2019s relevant profit centers. These relevant profit centers can be derived from the profit center hierarchy (BPC_ + ID of entity).
When I hardcode the Profitcenter and the entity, the routine works (as below). But what I really want is that it works variable as in the line that I commented out. Any idea whether this could work (BPC 7.5NW) ? If not, I am afraid I need to go to ABAP, which is really a pitty
//ALLOCATION PROCEDURE CONVERSION RATE
//=====================================
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=1
*DIM SEBACCOUNT WHAT=CONV_RATE; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
//*DIM PROFCENT WHAT=DUMPC; WHERE=BAS(BPC_"%ENTITY_SET%");USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM PROFCENT WHAT=DUMPC; WHERE=BAS(BPC_OKB);USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM ENTITY WHAT=OKB; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
Thanks
Nico

Gersh,
It works now. I have implemented the below code (ENTITY needed to contain the variable as well). The relationship profitcenter and entity is very important as it derives the relevant profitcenters from the profit center hierarchy (e.g. all profitcenters under the legalentity node).
//ALLOCATION PROCEDURE CONVERSION RATE
//=====================================
*FOR %ENT% = %ENTITY_SET%
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=1
*DIM SEBACCOUNT WHAT=CONV_RATE; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM PROFCENT WHAT=DUMPC; WHERE=BAS(BPC_%ENT%);USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=FCSTCUR; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM ENTITY WHAT=%ENT%; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
*NEXT
Thanks

I think I solved my time changing issues- hope this helps

Hey everyone, I think I've had some success with my time changing issues. I originally posted this to another user as a follow up to her question, but I'm reposting it here. Hope it helps:
"msteinny,
So i went to the apple store to meet with an apple genius to ask him why my phone's time kept moving up 1 hour everytime I synced my phone. Well he said that he's never seen this problem before, and after a trying a reset and restore he let me exchange my phone. The problem is that when I went to sync my new phone the problem still persisted. They told me it was probably something to do with my computer and its time zone settings.
So I get home and click on my computers clock in the bottom right hand corner to bring up the date and time properties and sure enought my time is correct, the date is correct and the time zone is correct (Eastern Daylight Time). So I look through the different tabs (Date & Time, Time Zone, Internet Time). The first thing I tried to do was to change where my computer syncs its internet time. It was originaly set on NIST time. I then switched it to Windows time, but this didn't do anything. My clock would still change when I synced to itunes. The next thing I tried was fideling around in the Time Zone tabs. I noticed that the box that says "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings" was unchecked, so I checked it and my computer's time jumped an hour ahead. So I left the box checked but moved my clock one hour back (to the correct time), clicked on apply and left it at that. I synced my iPhone and voila! The time didn't change! It stayed on the correct time! To to make a long story short, make sure that you computer's clock is set on "automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes, make sure your time zone is correct, and that the time is right when that box is checked. I hope this helps you. I'm glad I got a new phone out of the deal;)
Chris P. "

As I mentioned in my post, whenever I checked that box the time would be incorrect. It would move up an hour. I've messed with this along time ago, way before I got my iphone. I think this had something to do with the daylight savings change that was implemented this year or last year. I dont remember if I never tried correcting it before, or if I couldn't, but this time I didn't have any problems correcting it. Anyway, since I couldn't correct it back then, I just left the box uncheck and decided that I would change the time manually when the next time change occurs. But it seems to work fine now so all is well.

Internal Error when viewing an activity in E-Rec after a username change

Hello,
Hereu2019s a brief explanation of the scenario that we are in:
u2022 We created a new User ID for an employee because of his/her name
change.
u2022 We then attached this new User Id to her HR master records using Info
Type 105 (IT0105) subtype 1 (ST01).
u2022 This employee already had her previous User ID attached to his HR
master records using the same IT0105 ST01. So now, this employee has 2
IT0105 ST01 records.
u2022 We transferred these records (old and new ids) to E-Recruiting via
ALE process.
To do this ALE process, we executed RBDMIDOC program on the system
where our HR Master Data reside.
u2022 Then in our e-recruiting system, we executed RBDAPP01 to process
these idocs.
u2022 This processing delimited the old User ID and created a new User ID
for the same person in the e-recruiting system. We can view this
relationship in HRP1001.
u2022 Now, prior to her name change, this person had performed some
activities on a candidateu2019s records in E-Recruiting. Obviously, these
activities were performed with his old user ID. So those activities
have the old user ID associated with them.
u2022 After sending the new User Id in e-recruiting, when we go to view
those candidate activities in candidate overview, the system throws the
internal error message.
The format that we use for creating usernames is last name first letter of first name, i.e. Bob Jones would look like JONESB.
At present the only way to remedy the situation is to have the recruiter who's name (and username) changed manually change it for each activity.
After opening up a message with SAP they responded with:
Dear Customer,
That's right. The reason why this recruiter doesn't see his/her
activities is because they were created under a different user.
E-Recruiting is designed with a stable CP-US relationship. If you
do a delimination this can cause problems for the recruiter (as
mentioned above) as in IT5131 the user is stored as team member.
If the user assigned to a CP changes, the responsible candidate class
cannot be instanced anymore. So we strictly recommend not to delimit theCP-US relation.
Has anyone else experienced the problem? How did you address it? It has been my experience to use the name of the employee when creating a username. This has never been a problem in our core system, just in E-Recruiting.
Thank you for your help!
Regards,
Ryan

DonSu,
You have to look at the line above it to gather what's happening. As I mentioned it making a call to get the contents of the Data Source using GetDataSourceContents. What you might try is making the same call using Microsoft APIs and PowerShell.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/reportservice2010.reportingservice2010.getdatasourcecontents.aspx
[string]$folderDestination = "/<Path to Data source>"
[string]$webServiceUrl = "https://EnterURLhere/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx"
$ssrsProxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $webServiceUrl -UseDefaultCredential
$DatasourceContent = $ssrsProxy.GetDataSourceContents($folderDestination)
$DataSourceOutput = $DatasourceContent | Select-Object ConnectString, Extension, Enabled, UserName, WindowsCredentials, CredentialRetrieval
Write-Output $DataSourceOutput

OHD Strcuture change Issue

Hi All,
I am not able to change the structure of the OHD- TAB Database table type. OHD is not going into change mode. when I check object changeability options it says: its changeable but i revert it to non changeable and then again changeable after that i go into the change mode but when i change the fields and activate the structure it activates but after i log on again to system changes are not reflected.
also, after logging on let say i see the structure of one OHD not after that if i see the structure of another OHD it shows me structure of the first OHD i opened again n again for all OHDs opened until i again logoff and after logging in again same issue.
Is there any SAP note that would be helpful for this issue.
thanks

LEAP, ACS 3.1 Active Dir username changes

We have an active directory domain.
We have users with 350 pcmcia cards in their thinkpads connecting to 1200 APs set to allow authentication to an external DB (the AD domain).
Everything was happy until a user got married.
Her name changes.
My day is ruined.
Now, when she logs in the ACS server flags it as a failed attempt instantly. I can replicate this perfectly. It doesn't allow her to login. When she sits down at a wired machine she can login with no problems. So we know the account is good. What I can't understand is why, if we're set to pass unknown users and all authentication to the external DB (AD domain), this doesn't work? Surely the ACS server should just treat this new username as unknown and bounce it to the AD domain?
Anyone seen this before? Or perhaps more importantly anyone fixed this yet? I've posted over at CCO on the cisco site and no luck there yet. I've also googled extensively and nothing of use. Lots of info on password changes but nothing on username changes.
many thanks
J
note: edited for clarity

What does the error in the "Failed Attempts" log say on the ACS server?
Is there a single AD domain in your org? If there are multipel domains, could there be a user with the same username in another domain that ACS is checking first?

Skype username change?

Hello!
So I've had this account for many years, but since it is possible to get an IP via Skype calls and so on.
I would like to change my username, since I removed many contacts that I don't know and don't want
them in my list.
Is it possible for me to change my username?
I only ask for username-change, nothing advanced. I would really like this to happen
since I really want to protect my identity. I've had some DDoS attacks lately too.
kind regards,
Gabz
