BPC 7.0 MS upgrade - reinitiate SSIS packages required

Hello,
We have recently upgraded from BPC 5.1 to BPC 7.0 MS version.
We have SSIS package to load Accounts (as flat file), which load the flat file into a staging table and then moved to <mbraccount>.
This setup works very fine till in BPC 5.1, after upgrade to BPC 7.0 MS and noticed that the Account - member are loaded in jumbled order. Further investigating, we found that the SSIS packages loaded to staging table in the same jumbled order and then followed to copy the same in mbraccount table.
1. Should we required to re-initiate all the SSIS packages (custom built) after BPC 7.0 MS upgrade?
2. Have SSIS packages to load other MasterData, the same procedure as above but no issues in display order of dimension members. Why is it so?
Any clue..
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards
Uma

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the reply.
No change in the versions SQL SERVER 2005 and EXCEL 2003 for both SAP 5.1 and 7.0.112
These DM packages are customised and flow of data is as below:
Flat File --> Clear the staging table (delete from stage) --> load the flatfile data into Staging table ( via Data Flow task, Table - Fast load option) --> clear the MBR tbl --> Copy Stage into MBRACCOUNT table
Not using the SSIS bulk insert.
This works well after gone live almost for 4-5 months in BPC 5.1 and as said recently upgraded in Mid June 2009, we have issues loading MasterData in jumbled order.
Account ids are all numeric. Flat file extracted from SAP R/3 is in correct sequential order and while loading into Stagingtable.. it sorting order varies and then copied the same into Mbr<dim> table.
Should this problem be with SSIS packages? Any clues.
Warm Regards
Uma

BPC 7.5NW SP upgrade

Hello Experts,
We are currently on SP 06 and are planning an upgrade to one of the newer service packs. On this end, we have the following questions:
1. How does the upgrade process work? Do we have to perform the upgrade in the serial order of the service packs? Meaning, do we have to go from SP 06 -> SP 07 -> SP 08 -> SP 09, or can we directly go from SP 06 to SP 09?
2. What are the consequences of upgrading to the latest SP, i.e., SP 09? Can we safely assume that all the bugs that were identified in SP 07 and SP 08 would stay 'fixed' in SP 09 upgrade?
3. What is the recommended time frame / interval to perform an upgrade from current SP to the next SP?
4. When we are performing an upgrade, can we perform the upgrade only on a specific appset instead of the entire server environment?
5. While performing the upgrade, can we pick and choose the notes? Or do we have to install all the SAP Notes at once?
6. Lastly, what is the typical effort involved? And how long would the upgrade process usually take? We are asking this because we don't want this upgrade process to collide with our financial closing process.
I request your kind guidance with regards to the above questions. All reponses are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for all your guidance.
Best regards..
Van.

You can directly upgrade to target support package level. You can check upgrade guide for it.
> 2. What are the consequences of upgrading to the latest SP, i.e., SP 09? Can we safely assume that all the bugs that were identified in SP 07 and SP 08 would stay 'fixed' in SP 09 upgrade?
You need to perform testing in order to check if all is working fine or not.
> 3. What is the recommended time frame / interval to perform an upgrade from current SP to the next SP?
SAP keep on releasing support package. So, based on your upgrade policy or if there is requirement to upgrade to get new functionality or as SAP recommends to update SP's to latest level always, you can plan the upgrade.
> 4. When we are performing an upgrade, can we perform the upgrade only on a specific appset instead of the entire server environment?
No, upgrade is not appset specific.
> 5. While performing the upgrade, can we pick and choose the notes? Or do we have to install all the SAP Notes at once?
Its not like applying SAP notes. Its a bundled format where you need to do the upgrade of whole server.
> 6. Lastly, what is the typical effort involved? And how long would the upgrade process usually take? We are asking this because we don't want this upgrade process to collide with our financial closing process.

There are no standard timing to do the upgrade. You can upgrade your test/sandbox BPC server and do the proper testing. As a result you will have an estimate about the time required in upgrade.

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.

EVDRE error on certain member from Dimension

Hi,
One of the template will have EVDRE error when selection this entity. Upon check, by creating simple EVDRE report, some new members from this entity cause the EVDRE error. The new members was just added to the dimension and no issue when running process dimension. We have open the dimension, save and re run the process dimension without any error but still have the evdre error when open the template with the entity. No issue with other entity For info we are running BPC MS 7.5 upgraded recently from BPC MS 7.0. Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi Kheirudin,
sorry from your description I didn't understand it was the same issue. If it is the same normally you're able to process the dim the day after.
You don't need to raise to SAP, SAP has released one years ago, see please 1633966 - BPC MS: EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server, "Errors found retrieving data" .
For my experience it's sufficient as workaround to update the date of the .dep files, without stop and restart of services as described in the thread of your last answer.
Let me know if the workaround is clear or not.
Regards
Roberto

How to Mantain Current View

Hello Experts,
I saved the Input Shedule with Year 2011 and version Budget.
The problem is that sometimes I open my Input Schedule and the Year and Version changes to other values.
Do you know why this appenned? There are any way I can fix the Year and Version in Inuput Schedule?
Best Regards,
Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,
We had a similar situation after upgrading to SAP BPC NW 7.5 SP06 and tried several options to lock the input schedules and reports but when we switch over from one application to another the actions pane values keep changing .
Please let me know which version of BPC you are using. If you are on BPC 7.5 then upgrade to SP07 you will not see this issue anymore as it is a program error by SAP. Thanks.
FYI the thread i posted.

Upgrade to SAP BPC 7.0 with cluster system (Front-End & Back-End)

Hello,
I have to do an upgrade document about an outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 in a cluster system.
It has 2 front-ends (IIS cluster windows) & 2 back-ends (SQL Cluster).
We are going to do first the migration in 1 node, and then in another. The first upgrade in the first node I understand. I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then restore the backup of the Appset, and do the posts upgrade action of the Dimension TIME.
But in the second, what do we do??? I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then what??? Do I have to restore the backup of the Appset again???
I need help.
Best regards.
Pablo Mortera.

Hello,
On the second cluster node, you have only to install the software, nothing related to the appset. If you alreay run the migration stepts for the appset, all the information are into daatbase and file server.
However, the normal behaviour is to make the installation on the both nodes, make the basic tests to validate the installation and then proceed with the appset migration.
Best regards,
Mihaela

SAP BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.0 upgrade, problem CPMBPC_800

Hello,
We are currently upgrading BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.0. We want to do an upgrade of our existing BPC 7.5, and not an 'clean' installation of BPC 10.0.
Right now we are having some issues with the´basis part of the upgrade.
We have installed the POASBC 100_730 SP01 (POASBC ABAP component) with no problems
and now we want to install the EPM content in the download package 51040691 (Server components).
In the download package 51040691 - there are two folders 'upgrade' and 'installation'
The files have been uploaded into SAP BW 7.3 and the problem now is in 'saint' - we can see the CPMBPC_800 package, but the type is 'INSTALLATION' and there is not an option to choose 'UPGRADE'
Is 'INSTALLATION' the same as a clean installation - or will the package detect the existing SAP BPC 7.5 and do upgrade instead of an installation ?
All help is appreciated
Thank you,

Hello,
we are facing the same issue. Did somebody solve this problem? Is INSTALLTION the same as UPGRADE?
Kind Regards

BPC 7.5 upgrade process - Doubts

Hi,
Once we had the confirmation and approval to upgrade the system from SP00 to SP03 (on .NET server components), we noticed that some functional configurations had been made in the meantime. This new scenario where new things had been done from a functional perspective makes me wonder if any of that configuration could be lost while or after upgrading the server component?
Also, after reading Note 1453797 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP03 NW Central Note, section "Before you install" to be more specific it says to uninstall any previous version of the .NET server and client components. Also Scott recommended me that as a best practice. This applies when the upgrade is being done from BPC 7.0 to BPC 7.5 for example or it also applies to my case (uprading BPC 7.5 system from SP00 to SP03)?
Thanks again for your help.
Regards

Hi Ethan,
Thanks for the quick response.
Actually I'm new installing BO BPC and maybe I've not used the correct words to describe that configuration I've detected while trying to install SP03. What I've noticed is that an Initial Application Set has been created. Actually, this is the only thing I have found but I'm not sure if that imply any other configurations either in .NET server or ABAP server that could be lost after upgrading the server component from SP00 to SP03. The same question arises if I decide to uninstall the current installation to perform a fresh one using SP03 directly as its described in note 1453797.
In summary, is there any chance to lost the configuration made on a BPC system (.NET and ABAP servers or client) if any of the above upgrade process is performed?
Hope being clear enough this time thanks so much for your help.
Kind regards
