BPC- Goodwill calc issue

We have tagged 4 accounts as SHCAP in TYPELIM property of account dimension.We are using this SHCAP as source account in one of our business rules, the system is considering only 3 accounts out of the 4 and completly ignoring the amount uploaded in the fourth account. We have tried following to resolve the issue.
1. We tried clearing the data of all four accounts and uploaded them again
2. We tried creating a new ID in the account dimension for the fourth account and tagged with SHCAP in TYPELIM
3. We tried changing the datasource of the fourth account
Pl suggest.

Hi,
Was this property value entry done in the admin client, or in the NW backend? If it is the former, please check in RSA1 to make sure that the value is there as the front/back ends can sometimes be out of sync. Typically this is with 7.5 SP07/SP08....incidentally, what SP are you on?
A few other things to do/check:
- Is the 4th dimension member after an empty row in the dimension sheet? NW does not like empty rows
- Is there any logic/business rules at all happening immediately before this calculation is attempting to take place? It could be that the data is not in the correct source location for the logic to work
- Go into logic tester transaction (UJKT), enter a SELECT statement that looks for all accounts with the property value SHCAP, then when you execute (simulate), the right-hand side should show the list of 4 accounts. If it is in this list then I don't think it's a problem with the member/property
Hope one of these helps.
Tom.

Dynamic Calc Issue - CalcLockBlock or Data Cache Setting

We recently started seeing an issue with a Dynamic scenario member in our UAT and DEV environments. When we tried to reference the scenario member in Financial Reports, we get the following error:
Error executing query: The data form grid is invalid. Verify that all members selected are in Essbase. Check log for details.com.hyperion.planning.HspException
In SmartView, if I try to reference that scenario member, I get the following:
The dynamic calc processor cannot allocare more than [10] blocks from the heap. Either the CalcLockBlock setting is too low or the data cahce size setting is too low.
The Dynamic calcs worked fine in both environments up until recently, and no changes were made to Essbase, so I am not sure why them stopped working.
I tried to set the CalcLockBlock settings in the Essbase.cfg file, and increases the data cache size. When I increases the CalcLockBlock settings, I would get the same error.
When I increased the data cache size, it would just sit there and load and load in Financial Reporting and wouldn't show the report. In SmartView, it would give me an error that it had timed out and to try to increase the NetRetry and NetDelay values.

Thanks for the responses guys.
NN:
I tried to double the Index Cache Setting and the Data Cache setting, but it appears when I do that, it crashes my Essbase app. I also tried adding the DYNCALCCACHEMAXSIZE and QRYGOVEXECTIME to essbase.cfg (without the Cache settings since it is crashing), and still no luck.
John:
I had already had those values set on my client machine, I tried to set them on the server as well, but no luck.
The exact error message I get after increasing the Cache settings is"Essbase Error (1042017) Network error: The client or server timed out waiting to receive data using TCP/IP. Check network connections. Increase the olap.server.netConnectTry and/or olap.server.netDealy values in teh essbase. proprieties. Restart the server and try again"

How Tou2026 Create Custom Menu within BPC NW - OPENFILE issue

Hi Guys,
I built a custom menu in BPC 7.5 using the step-by-step procedure available in u201CHow Tou2026 Create Custom Menu within BPC NWu201D. It uses the OPENFILE option with EvMnu to open dynamic templates describing this limit:
The OPENFILE option within the NW Version can only open workbooks from cached directories in local PC. Therefore, it is a best practice to ensure that OPENFILE only refers to templates that are available as dynamic templates that are cached (updated template version) on all client PCs that are using the EvMnu based workbook.
At the moment Iu2019m working with more than 40 users, which surely will increase. So, I have to find others solutions or automate the local saving:
- Do I have to ask our users to save locally all dynamic templates?
- Do you know if I can save automatically (not manually one-by-one) all dynamic templates in all client PCs allowing the OPENFILE option to work correctly?
- Do you know if there are others solutions, like commands or macro (not BPF), to open dynamic templates from custom menu without local saving?
Thanks for your answers.

Hi Nilanjan,
Thank you for your quick answer. I need to open a single dynamic report for each link, not the complete report folder.
OPENWEBFOLDER works correctly, but unluckily it doesnu2019t cover my issue.
OPENWEBFILE could be the solution, but it doesnu2019t work. I used this syntax:
=EVMNU("OPENWEBFILE"," optional text ","REPORTS\TestReport.xlt")
Clicking it, the system shows this message u201COPENWEBFILE: macro not supportedu201D.
Do you know if OPENWEBFILE works correctly in BPC 7.5 NW?
Thanks for your support.

BPC 10NW: Connectivity issues with environment copied from IFRS KIT

Hi BPC Gurus,
We are on SAP BPC 10NW SP04.
We had installed IFRS Kit. We then copied IFRS Kit (without transactions) to another environment (TBSC_DEMO). We have then
modified members of all the dimensions and successfully processed it.
We are trying to log on to Consolidation Model in BPC-Excel to create Transformations etc ... however, we are getting error "the number of bytes available is inconsistant with the HTTP content - lenght header. There may have been a network error or the client may be sending invalid requests'. However, it gets connected to 'ownership' and 'rate' models without any issues.
Also, if we try to create an Input Form and/or Report from BPC-Admin, and drag any dimension in Row / Column it throws an error - 'unhandled exception has occured'.
NOTE: It was given to understand from one of the SAP consultant that IFRS kit has some 'KNOWN issues' about 'authorizations and/or security features. could you please let us know the resolution at the earliest?
ALSO, If by any chance we are able to conenct to BPC-Excel, it shows only one dimension (ACCOUNT). Please see the attached screen shot for more details.
Are we missing any settings?
Please assist.

Rashmi

BPC 7 performance issue with Microsoft 2003 vs Microsoft 2007

Hi All,
Needs some help with our performance issues with BPC 7 on Microsoft 2007. We have noticed a significant difference between the two versions. When running the same report on BPC 7 MS 2003 it takes roughly around 5-6 min. When running the same report in BPC 7 MS 2007 the report takes roughly 15-20 min. We've tried numerous things to figure out what can be causing this but does anyone have the same issue or shed some light as to what i can do to eliminate this problem?
Thanks,
Elmer

Hi,
Did you install the following component on your application server (which is a prerequisite for running Excel 2007)? This note is part of the installation guide:
In order for the software to function correctly in Excel 2007, you must install the Microsoft Office 2007 system driver Data Connectivity Components, which you can get from the Microsoft web site. The components must be installed on the Application server. We recommend that you install all of the latest Microsoft Windows hotfixes prior to installing the Administration client. For information about which hotfixes to install, see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7554F536-8C28-4598-9B72-EF94E038C891&DisplayLang=en.
Hope this will help.

BPC 7 Performance Issues

As of last week we've been having major performance issues within our environment. All the reports that used to take 15-30 seconds to load is taking as much as 2-3 minutes. this is happening all across the board with all users. There hasn't been much change in our environment, just wanted to pass this message along to see if anyone else is having the same issues. We are using BPC 7 on MS2010.
thanks,
Elmer

Hi Elmer,
on my technical view maybe it will happen the same when you open the report in server.
Delete TEMPFILES that are no longer be needed.. because this quiet large data if you calculate a large package of calculation.
Shrink un-necessary database logfile in your SQL which it quite large and made a performance problem.
Check process on your server is that any unwanted application run actively such as viruses or others.
Restarting the server is the last option.
hope helps.

Essbase Defrag and Calc Issue

I have a calcscript will runs against a BSO cube with 11 dimensions and it runs for 15 mins. The script does some calculations and rollups (AGG and CALC DIMS etc). I can see the blocks go from 15k blocks to 500k blocks at the end.
And then when I re-run the script, it runs for over 2 hours and of course it's due to the block explosions and all. And so, I do a defrag and clear upper blocks by doing a:
CLEARBLOCK UPPER;
CLEARBLOCK EMPTY;
After this the number of blocks goes way down to 25k blocks.
And still the calc continues to run over 2 hours. So my question is why this behavior? Is there anything I can do besides reloading the cube from scratch? I know if I do a complete clear it obviously runs the same timing again. But I want to be able to not have to do that. Is there a step I am missing?

Here are some tips:
- please review "intelligent calculation" - this feature helps when only a few blocks are changed to limit the recalculation to affected blocks
- your index cache may be to low - index has grown with number of blocks beyond your index cache size -> more disk IO than your setup can handle
- overall design needs tuning (block size / density / dynamic calculations / ...) -> contact a consultant
- what is the business case for 10 min calc time limit? Will users wait for calculation to finish?
Sascha.

Parallel Calc Issue

We are currently running 6.5.1 on our NT server and have encountered inconsistencies in our aggregations when using the parallelcalc settings. We have two processors and are trying to use both of them in the calc. Has anyone run into a similar problem? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Rich, I agree, we are using 6.5.3, and parallel calc is kicking butt. When I originally benchmarked parallel calc with 6.5.1, I was disappointed with the results. In all cases, serial calcs were running faster. As far as Hyperion's recommendation that you leave one processor free for the os and for thread distribution, I suggest that users test different configurations. We have found that using all four processors on our 4-way boxes yield the best calc times, four processors are close to 20% faster on average than just 3 processors. Jeff McAhren Dallas, Texas

Calc issue

My Net Sales is stored with 123Entity, 456Channels and for various Locations. The Net Sales is aggregated at Total_Locations, my "ABC %" is entered in forms at 123Entity, 456Channels and NOLocation.
When I run my calculation at TOTALLocation.
ABC $ = Net Sales * ABC %
It does not give me the desired result, what am I doing wrong?

I could figure out that I am entering data at NOLocation and extracting data at various Locations and aggregating at Total_Location.
I changed the formula and using the cross-dimension in the formula. With FIX being on TotalLocation
ABC $ = Net Sales * ABC %->NoLocation
The rule gets validated and deployed, but gives an error in running the rule. Any pointers?

BPC NW SP5 with Windows 7 and Office 2010 - issues with EvDRE reports

Hi All,
We are facing a BPC front end issue with the following symptoms:
1. Any report with multiple EvDREs crashes out either instantly or within a few minutes of operation.
2. Two EvDRE reports (or one report and one input tempate) crashes same as above.
The crash is either an EvDRE error message or an endless wait for the server to respond (where we have to eventually terminate the application).
We were suggested to move to sp7 but the issues persisted.
We do have a message and SAP is helping us investigate. What I want to understand from everyone is are there customres successfully using this combination (BPC NW SP5 Windows 7 and Office 2010) along with the above features?
Customer is really loosing confidence in the solution and is eager to find out if we are the only one using this.
Regards
Anupam

Hi Zach,
While I do understand we need to isolate the problem but testing on different combinations, customer at the moment is not inclined for this and is looking for other customer references that this environment is stable.

BPC MS 10 Version - Dimension processing

Hi All,
We have an issue with the dimension processing, some of the base members have CALC - "Y" property. How can we reset the CALC property at base member level in a given dimension member...
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Syed,
if you are sure that there are base members and not parent with CALC property equal to "Y" you have to follow this note 1879932 - BPC MS: CALC Property is set to "Y" for a BASE and Non-Formula Dimension changing manually this property setting and processing the dimension.

BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network

Hi Guys,
I get the following error when i try to connect to BPC Excel: The system cannot connect to the server. There might be network or security issue.
This only happen on clients machines, I have installed the client tools on the server and tested, i can connect to Excel but not on the machine. My MS office version is the same as the one on the server. BPC is ver 5.04
Has anyone experienced the same problem.
your help will be greatly appreciated.

Let me summarize your issue to see if I may help. If I cannot, then you will need to work with SAP Support on the connection problem.
- You have a single or multi-server setup?
- Installed using BPC 5.1 SP3, (or 5.0.502) correct?
- You can enter the BPC on the server, both via BPC Excel and BPC Admin?
- When you initiate BPC Admin on your client, so can connect to the Server and perform Admin operations?
- When you initiate BPC for Excel, and walk through the connection wizard, you cannot connect to the server?
- When you are in the Connection Wizard, are you using a path or a Server designation?
- Is the system on a single domain?
- When you added users to the Admin Security profile, they were selected from a DOMAIN?
- You have processed security and assigned ALL TASKS currently and processed the MEMBER ACCESS profiles, yes?
After all of this, have you uninstalled 1 BPC client, cleared the ProgramFiles/BPC folder, and deleted the local stored BPC information? If you haven't, just for simplification, I would attempt this process.
You also hae read all the SAP Support Notes regarding using Excel2007 with BPC and the issues you may experience?
Please let me know and maybe we can help.

BPC 7.5 NW PERIODIC Measure returns error in new environment only

Recently we created a new BPC environment/server. This new environment has had HANA installed and is going through testing. In our testing we have incurred the following issue, but we are not sure if it is HANA related or just a result of something in the new environment not being set up correctly.
Our BPC LEGAL/Consolidations application is a YTD application. A basic EVDRE was created with Time in Column (expanded to month), and Entity, Account, Profit Center and Reporting Currency in the Row. The EVDRE is first expanded with the MEASURE set to YTD. The correct results are returned. The MEASURE is then changed to PERIODIC and the EVDRE expanded. The result is an error - "Errors found retrieving data".
This same EVDRE opened in any of our other environments does not result in an error and returns the correct periodic results. I have verified that the time dimension is exactly the same in the working and non-working environment. I also had the BW team verify with UJA_FORMULA_APP that the contents of the table for LEGAL/Periodic. I had them pull out the Formulas from a working and non-working environments. It appears they are the same.
QG1:
MEMBER [MEASURES].[PERIODIC] AS 'IIF([%C_ACCT_FA%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="INC",-[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA],IIF([%C_ACCT_FA%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="EXP",[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA],IIF([%C_ACCT_FA%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="AST",([MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA], CLOSINGPERIOD([%TIME%].[LEVEL02])),IIF([%C_ACCT_FA%].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("2/CPMB/ACCTYPE")="LEQ",-([MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA], CLOSINGPERIOD([%TIME%].[LEVEL02])),-[MEASURES].[/CPMB/SDATA]))))';SOLVE_ORDER=3

Does anyone know where else we should look? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
If when you launch BPC Server Manager, you do not get "Cannot connect to ABAP server", this means user BPC_SYSADMIN is connecting correctly. And assuming you had invalid RFC user in BPC Web, your issue is then only with user BPC_USER (or BPC_ADMIN if the issue is with BPC Admin client only)
If you do get that error, it means the error is for more than one user, so I would look for something big missing.
In point 1 you mention domain users, make sure in BPC Server Manager under "reset login credentials" that you do not have windows users specified there as it's a common mistake, those should be your 3 BW communication users
On BPC .Net server, if you installed SAP GUI, run an MDX_PARSER test in SM59 to check librfc32.dll is working correctly
Also quite common issue it is possible your background users have wrong authorizations; in PFCG check the roles SAP_BPC_SYSADMIN SAP_BPC_ADMIN and SAP_BPC_USER were copied to customer namespace and that the role are active (user tab should be displaying green light) and assigned to the background communication users
Also check the background users are not locked in SU01 (if they are locked the password saved on .Net server was or is not matching the real password defined on NW server)
Thanks,
Julien

BPC 7.5 NW- error 'Name or password of RFC Communication user is invalid '

Hi
Environmen: Win 2008 R2, CPMBPC 7.5 SP09, BW 7.2 Sp09, .NET BPC 7.5 SP09
I just completed installing .NET BPC 7.5 and when I try to open BPC Server manager, i get "cannot coonect to ABAP server' error.
When I try to open the website http://localhost/osoft I get the error "name or password of RFC communication user is invalid".
I see the same error in the BPC logs as well.
I have the tried the following so far:
1. Created single domain user for the three communication users BPC_sysadmin, BPC_admin & BPC_user.
2. I momentarily changed to dialog users and logged in to check their fucntioning.
3. I have generated their relevant profiles. Inlcuded SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW for the sysadmin ID
4. I have disabled firewall, allowed port 80 on Windows firewall.
5. I have disabled UAT
6. I have followed the rest of the installation as per inst guide.
When I run BPC server manager diagnostics, I see error "SAP ABAP server connection:database connection:status error".
Can someone tell is there anything else that I could try ?
many thanks
