BPC client compatibility

Hi all,
I have few questions regarding BPC for NW. I would appreciate if someone can clarify them for me.
1- Where can I find the sp level of BPC .Net component. (is it from server manager System Information. I can see .06 there. does that mean sp06?)
2- If I want to patch BPC ABAP component from from sp06 to the latest patch. Do I also have to patch .net component to the same level? And also do i also have to patch BPC client to the same level ?
3- Can i patch BPC client to the higher level than that of BPC ABAP component ????
Regards,
Rizwan.

Hi,
Yes, that would mean SP06.
Usually, if you are applying a patch, all the components should be on the same patch level. However, there are few patches which are applicable only to the clients. This means that the the patch level will be different from the .NET server, in this instance. In all the other cases, you should apply the same patch level to all the components.
Hope this helps.

SAP BPC 7.5 SP3 and Citrix Entering Data through BPC Client and Citrix

Hello BPC experts,
my client is using SAP BPC 7.5 SP3 in combination with Citrix. We are having problems now, while entering data through the BPC Client (installed on BPC Server) and the BPC Client (running on Citrix).
When we enter data through the BPC Client (Server) and expand the sheet, we can only see the data that we entered through the BPC client (Server). When entering data through the BPC Client (Citrix), we can see only the data we enter through the BPC Client (Citrix).
The database, however, saves both entries correctly. For test purposes we created a test report which shows both entries correctly in the BPC Client on the server and on Citrix.
Does anyone have an idea what can be wrong with our system? We tried to create an EvDRE log File for this BPC version as well, but failed. Maybe one of you already did that and can help me with this.
Thanks in advance!

You can greatly improve your chance of receiving a helpful answer to your question if you state the version (MS or NW) of BPC which you are using.
Also notice the sticky [note|Please do not post BPC, SSM or FI/CO questions here!; at the top of this forum whereby we announced new dedicated forums for BPC which are the proper place to post your questions regarding BPC in the future to be able to reach the right audience for your question.

No data to refresh in BPC clients with Russian regional settings

Hello, colleagues
I hope to get some advices and information about saving data in BPC client computers with non-English regional settings (e.g., decimal point is set ","). Our BPC server has English regional settings.
BPC 7.0, SQL Server 2008. I created new Input Schedule by using standard EVDRE function. And data was not sent to SQL Server after clicking Send and Refresh, I got the message "No data to refresh". I examined hidden sheet EVDRE_DATACACHE and found cells in row A with cache data in XML format. After some experiments I found out that if all data values will be replaced with symbol "S" then all data in the sheet with EVDRE could be saved correctly. I don't know any other methods to make data with decimal point "," to be saved. Also I tried to change members of Measure (Periodic - YTD) but i got the same result.
Thanks for your help.

Actually you have the problem into server.
I think you have the regional settings wrong into server.
We have actually many customers using French, German, Dutch language having "," for decimal separator and it is working fine.
It is not working when actually the settings into the server are not English US.
Please check the follow keys from application server:
HKEY_USERS - .Default - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-18.. - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-19 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-20 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21........ ..- Control Panel - International
These keys should be sett all for english US. If it is at least one not correct that can cause problems with sending data.

BPC Client tool configuration for multiple appset selection

Hi Expert,
is there any way to configure BPC client to select multiple applications simulteniously instead of closing one application to select another application, nothing but multiple BPC sessions at a time like SAP GUI sessions.
thanks
Venkata

Hi,
I guess you are talking about BPC excel. You cant have different sessions in BPC. If you open a report1 from application1 and then if you want to open report2 from application2, you need to change the CV. Once the report2 has been opened in application2, the CV of report1 will still show application1. However, if you want to refresh report1, it will access application2. The CV of the last opened report holds valid for all the previously opened reports.
Having said this, we do have a workaround for the above problem. When you open report1 from application1, go to workbook options and click on "save the active session CV with this workbook". Then you can change your CV to application2 to open report2. And again do the same thing for report2 as well. With this, both the reports will work in their own region. However, you wont be able to change the CV. Even if you do change the CV, the report will not be refreshed based on the new CV. It will still work for the saved CV.
Hope this helps.

How to install BPC client interface in Vista

I want to install the BPC client interface in MS Windows Vista. Can someone please let me know the steps.
I am also having difficultly installing the .NET interface in Vista.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

the installation is standard but first you have to install the prerequisite software.
Check diagnostic will provide you the information if the PC is ready or not.
When check diagnostic doesn't provide any error you will be able to install the BPC client.
To install .NET 1.1 you need to use the follow link;

Cannot install BPC Client

Hi all
I am trying to install a BPC client both admin and office but i am having problems.
When i run Client diagnostics, it says that your computer has met all requirements. Please wait while BPC Administration software is downloaded.
but when i start the client download, system prompts me to Login to BPC server, Uname, PW, Domain. i enter the admin ID i used to install BPC, but i get LOGIN FAILED, DO YOU WANT TO RETRY? i have tried loging in using other accounts i created during BPC installation but failed.
What ID is BPC looking for??
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I am using BPC 7 for MS.
I able to login the BPC launch page, Run client diagnostics etc..
When i click BPC for office installation or BPC Administration Installation, it prompts me to enter login details. i enter the admin user i used to install BPC or the user i used to login BPC launch page, but fails.
Does the client installation really require you to enter login details? Also, i tried to change the login credentials in SERVER MANAGER. still the same result. what other areas should i check for the user credentials?
Hope u can help
Thanks!

BPC Client tool

I am new to BPC ... Where can I download the BPC client tool to connect to server. Do you need a GUI client or is it a web based client similar to Visual Composer?
Thanks

Hi,
There 2 clients for SAP BPC NW.
They are both available on the BPC Web portal (http:
SAPBPCWEBSERVER\osoft)
From the BPC portal you will find a link to client download page (don't remember its name).
Note : As you will be authenticated on IIS, your domain account must be recorded in SAP BPC security first. Ask your SAP BPC administrator. You also must be local administrator privilege on your computer in order to install them.
The first client is the "Admin" client : It will allow you to manage Appset and application / dimensions / security ... etc.
The second client is a Microsoft Office plugin : It will allow you to access SAP BPC appset within Excel.
Both requires some technical prerequisites on your computer. Check the online guide on SAP Marketplace or run the client diagnostic tool from the SAP BPC portal page.
Good luck and welcome.

BPC Client Backwards Compatible?

Does anyone know if the BPC client is backwards compatible? My scenario is this... We are currently patching our development environment up to 5.1 SP10, but our production environment is only at 5.1 SP3. We are wanting to grab a new image of the client install and send it out to our users so we can get some people to poke around in development (SP10), while still being able to access production (SP3). Thanks for your help with this.
-Rob

Most of the BPC clients may have similar components and work from version to version, but we don't recommend the process. If they face errors or random issues, then you will need to uninstall, reinstall the version clients each time.
Otherwise, consider using a CITRIX environment for the user to log onto and test the new version.

Silent uninstallation of BPC client 5.1

Hi all,
I'm working on a BPC migration (5.1 => 7.5), and I'm confronted to an issue on the client side:
I found a way for the install / unistall the 7.5' in silent mode with the msi, but couldn't find a way to do so to uninstall the 5.1'.
Does anyone know how to do it?
We want to automatized the uninstall of the 5.1' client, and then the installation of the 7.5.
Thank you,
Vincent BAICHERE

Hi,
There is actually no announced command of silent uninstallation, then only way you can try to find out a clue and try.
We can get a hint from the registry, it seems to introduce MS installer and it has a parameter of uninstallation in silent mode. Forgive me I cannot give you all detail step, and just provide where you can get a hint.
1. Go to Start button in your desktop.
2. Launch "RUN"
3. Key in "Regedit"
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive
5. Navigate the key until you find UNINSTALL: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\UNINSTALL
6. You may find UNISTALLATION command string with GUID for BPC Client.
7. I think you can do trial and error with a parameter of uninstall of MS installer.
Hope this helps,

Authorization Issue in Opening BPC client 7.0

Hi All,
I am very new to this BPC and configuration.
Here is my situation.
We have a BPC server and client in the same host connected with BW system.
All configuration were made and was up and running fine. since dynamic ip was allocated to the system the old IP got changed bcoz of which we were not able to connect to the bpc system.
So we made changes for the IP in the BPC webiste properties, but got error saying that domain\bpcadmin user does not have administrator rights. (the mentioned user is in admin groups )
Since we cannot figure out the solution we got back the OLD ip and made it static.
Still we are facing the same error.
domain\bpcadmin is used during the installation.
all the problems started after the IP issue, now the old ip is back.
Need some help as soon as possible.
Thanks and Regards
Jaianandh V

HI Jaianandh,
Your problem its not related to your IP (the best practice is to let it static) , the problem is that you are trying to access the bpc server with a user that is not the administrator of the application, so what you have to do is log in to the server with the user that you configure as the system administrator when you installed the application (see page 20 of the bpc 7.0 nw installation manual ) ( this user has to be also windows administrator). If you do not remember the user you can enter to transaction se38 and run the program UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS and select the new user that is going to be the application administrator (Domain\user).
Hope this helps,

I did browse through a few threads in this forum and as per the suggestions, I installed .NET 1.1 and service pack for it.
I also modified the "hosts" file in system32\drivers\etc to include the lines I need.
IT STILL DOESNT WORK !
PLEASE HELP!

Automate template download for SAP BPC client rollout

Hi Experts
Is it possible to automate the downloading of the template and dimension files automatically using a client deployment tool such as Symantec Altiris. We will be deploying to over 3000 clients in a staged approach, but due to the strict bandwidth polices of the client, they want to know if it is possible push down the Outlooksoft folder as well, when installing the client. So that when the client is launched for the first time, it doesnu2019t have to download all of the template files.
Because of the bandwidth policies this needs to be done. CITRIX and Terminal Services is not an option at this stage.
How does the client check that all of the files are downloaded, Does the AppInfo.xml file have any influence in this process check, and what parameter does this check?
Kind Regards and Thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Appinfo.xml has importance but also some registry key from HKEY_CURRENTUSER-Software-VB&VBA Program settings- Outlooksoft.
BPC is doing comparation between the version from key registry and version from server and if this doesn't match then the info necessary for client like Templates and Dimensions are downloaded.
In your case you would liek to minimize the amount of data download.
That's means you have to keep at minimum the templates download into client.
So the tempates store into Wizard folders for each application must be redouce as much as possible.
Only these templates are download into client side.
The rest of templates are used direct from server and are download only when the users are using it.
I hope this will help you.

401 Unauthorised Error in SAP BPC Client

Hello Experts,
Recently we have moved to new facility of our company from where we are trying to access BPC Admin client and web url.
We have BPC 7.5 NW version of BPC Server.
In our previous location we had Windows XP workstation with IE 7 and we were able to acess with no problem.
In the new location we have desktops with Windows 7 and IE8. Are there any additional security settings we need to take care of in Windows 7?
Also from both locations we are accessing BPC server through VPN. IS there any additional setting for accessing BPC server through VPN?
Please share some tips for the above issue.
Thanks.

Hi Mak,
Can you please look into SAP Note: 1540512. Here are the excerpts:
Issue was fixed in BPC NW 7.0 SP08 and is schedulled for fix in BPC NW 7.5 SP06
Workaround solution 1 is to attempt to connect with the same user to BPC Admin client once and then try to access web page again
Workaround solution 2:
a. in BW run SE16 and view table UJA_LAST_USER where USER_ID = domain\username
This table defines which system was last accessed by the user
b. Check that application set in APPSET_ID and application in APPL_ID are currently accessible for this user
c. Only if the application set mentioned was removed, please edit both APPSET_ID and APPL_ID to a correct value of an application set and application the user has access to (you can copy the value from another user's).
Hope this resolves your issue.
Rgds,
Poonam

Ora 10g client compatibility

Accessing Oracle 8.1.7.3 databases with a 10.1. Client produces an ORA-03134 error - access to a server version not supported any more.
Where can I find which versions are supported - the documentation that comes with the client says nothing about it.

This compatibility matrix:
