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 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.

  • BPC Client Tools Dependency on Domain

    Hello Experts,
    We are currently evaluating a BPC solution for a client, where the client's requirement is such that some of the users of the BPC system might not have a domain login ID, or they might not at all login to the domain where the .NET server is installed. In such a scenario, is it possible for the users to access the BPC system??
    Thanks and Sincere Regards,
    Amitabha

    Yes,
    just in case if you create for these users local users into .Net server.
    Otherwise is not possible.
    In 7.5 we will be able to use CMS from BO which means we wil be able to use any kind of LDAP users not just users from MS active directory.

  • Https call from SAP SOAP client tool

    Hi,
    in order to call a webservice via https using the SAP SOAP client tool, I've done the following:
    1. The Client cert field filled with my personal certificate from IE (pcert.pfx)
    2. The Trust store field left as it was (cacerts file of the jre).
    When calling the service I am getting
    javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found
    Very likely this is caused by setting 2.
    Could anybody advise how to get an X.509 certificate of trusted root CAs? Any chance to export from IE or would one have to get that from a CA? File types required are ppfx or p12, which is strange since these contain private keys.
    Much appreciated.
    Rene Funke

    Hi Rene,
    You need to include the full certificate chain in the p12 file. i.e. private cert and root CA cert.  IE will not export the full certificate path with the private certificate unless it was imported into IE with this flag set. You could use Firefox to generate the pks12 file. It will include the full certificate path.
    This private certificate (p12 file) should then be added to the truststore in XI.
    Also, .p12 (pkcs#12) file format defines a file format commonly used to store private keys with accompanying public key certificates - not just private keys.
    Hope this helps.

  • Edit .app file in excel and then open it in client tool?

    Dear Gurus,
    I am very new to HFM and would like to know what practice a HFM consultant will use in editing the metadata.
    My boss recommend me to edit metadata( .app file) in excel and save it into a format that can be read and opened by client tool.
    However, I find no way to achieve this.
    How can i edit metadata in excel and then open it in HFM client tool?

    Good morning,
    I think the best way to do it it's working with macros. You can work with an Excel file and then, convert it to the .txt format by using macros. A .txt is more suitable to be later worked as .app.
    However, you can also do it by using Copy/Paste.
    1. Open the .app in a Note Pad, so you can work with .txt file.
    2. Copy the .txt data in the Excel file.
    3. Then, it's just working with Data > Text to Columns to format the file. Then, you can work in Excel.
    Then, you will have to put the Excel file in a .txt, so you will have to follow the data files requirements. You still can do this manually, but you will have to pay attention to the format (FILE_FORMAT=11.1.2, !VERSION=11.1.3609, !CUSTOM_ORDER=Custom1;Custom2;Custom3;Custom4, !APPLICATION_SETTINGS, !CURRENCIES, etc., as it is the Admin Guide). It will also depend on the HFM version you're working with, specially when working with customs.
    I received a good document about a couple of months ago that can be helpful, so if you send me an email address, I'll forward it.

  • Change SAP BI Password from BO Client Tools / Infoview, SAP Authentication

    Hi,
    We are using SAP BI BO Integration Kit (BO XI 3.1, SAP BI 7.0) & able to use SAP BI Queries with WebI, Xcelsius etc.
    For a user group, we would be providing only Infoview access (using SAP Authentication). This means we would not want to install any BO Client Tools, SAP GUI or SAP Integration Kit Client, on user desktop.
    We are faced with a issue - How does the user change password from Infoview (this is an SAP BI User ID used to login from Infoview).
    Initial Password of SAP BI User cannot be changed from Infoview, since it doesnot prompt for changing the Initial Password.
    Any ideas how to handle this situation.
    regards,
    Rajesh K Sarin

    Hi Erwin,
    no. Also within BI4 you are not able to change your SAP password.
    The Workaroung of Ingo is very suitable using SAP GUI for HTML.

  • 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.

  • Management and maintanence of 2008r2 developments with 2012 client tools

    Hi eb
    I need to manage and maintane sql server 2008r2 developments like databases,ssis packages,ssrs reports,ssas native cubes
    and at the same time start developping in 2012 tools for 2012 servers with thier own version of client tools.
    Questions:
    Can 2008r2 and 2012 client tools co-exist on the same development machine?
    Are there any known issues with development of any of the sql server 2008r2 components after instalation of the 2012 client components?
    I guess it is not possible to uninstall the 2008r2 client tools alltogther because managing 2008r2 developments from within 2012 client tools would automatically upgrade them to 2012 version (as was the case with the 2005-2008 versions before)?
    Last and not list do 2012 client tools require windows 7 OS?
    TIA for your attention
    Rea

    >>>Can 2008r2 and 2012 client tools co-exist on the same development machine?
    Yes, they can , but you can develop SSIS 2012  to work against SS2008R2

  • Unable to install Client Tools for Sybase ASE 15.7 on Windows Server 2012 64-Bit

    Hello Folks,
    I just downloaded the client tools package from https://support.sap.com/swdc --> Installation and Upgrades --> A-Z list --> SAP ADAPTIVE SERVER ENTERPRISE --> SYBASE ASE 15.7 --> Installation --> Microsoft Windows --> 51044415.zip
    I'm trying to install the client tools for a newly provisioned Windows 2012 64-Bit machine. After unzipping the folder and running autorun, the installation does not proceed. When I go to pcclient64 and run either setup.exe or setupConsole.exe, I get the error "This Application has Unexpectedly Quit, Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)". I stumbled across various posts on the forum, and it appears that the installer is not certified for Windows Server 2012. I tried using the compatibility mode for Windows 7, and it proceeds further and launches the SAP GUI; however, it closes afterwards.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    51044415 is a PC-Client 15.7 refresh.
    You are using a version that was not certified with Windows 2012. Get the most current version PC-Client 15.7 SP130 or SDK 15.7 SP130 or SP132.
    If your looking for PC-Client5.7 SP130 look for EBF23439
    We didn't get certified with Windows 2012 until SDK 15.7 ESD#6 even with that I reported a few minor issues.
    You need the following on the machine before the installation.
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
    Thanks,

  • BOE-XI 3.1 Client Tools (SP4) Error

    BOE-XI 3.1 Client Tools (SP3) are installed OK on a Workstation...
    Business View Manager = 12.3.0.601
    Designer = 12.3.0.601
    WebIntelligence Rich Client = 12.3.0.601
    I have downloaded the "SBOP Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 ServicePack 4" files from the SAP Support site (ENTERPRISECLNT04_0-10007619.exe).
    When I run the EXE - it unzips the files for about 10 minutes and then starts the install - but quickly throws the error below...
    "The update installation cannot proceed because either the target product is missing or is not the correct version for this update. Verify that the product to be updated exists on your system and you have the correct patch."
    Anyone seen this error before - and know the fix...?
    Thanks in advance for any advice / suggestions.

    Hi Mark,
    This error may show up if have installed the client originally from the Server build, or the other way around.  You may check the registry, if it has key codes for the enterprise it means the client was installed by the server build.
    I have installed BOXI 3.1 sp4 clients on several machines no issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Muhammad

  • BOE XI 3.1 Client Tools

    During the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 instllation ->Install Type, I selected:
    "New" and "Install MySQL Database server". Also check the check-box "Enable server upon installation"
    Then continue with the installation. Completed succesffully.
    This also means I have installed all the client-tools (Web Intelligent, Desktop Intelligent etc) on the server.
    Now if the user need to the access to Webi and create and publish the query into CMS, how do they actually access to the WEBI?
    Do we need to install the WEBI again on each of their machine?
    Edited by: lynn on Mar 10, 2010 2:17 AM

    Hi Stratos,
    Thanks again for you explanation, that really make thing clear!!!
    1) Use the web-based version of WebI. Your users will be able to create and view WebI reports using their internet browser.
    If I am using this option, that's mean I dont have to install the Webi Rich Client on each users workstation as I have already install them on the BOE Server. All the user need to do is basically logon to BOE InfoView, then create and publish the Webi document on the BOBJ repository and the rest of the user can access them, correct?
    2) Deploy the WebI richt client on the user's workstation. This stand-alone client tool allows you to develop and view WebI reports. You can then export the reports to the BOBJ repository and thus make them available for your report consumers, ho will use their browser to view the report (Option 1)
    If I choose this option, I still install the Webi Rich Client form the BOE XI 3.1 (Server/client) software , but during the Install Type step, I choose Custom or Expand Install, correct?
    Please advise, thank you,.

  • 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.
