BPC Netweaver Landscape question

Hi
Technical question:
BPC NW has got two components = A Netweaver server and a Windows server.
Does anyone know if you can run this all the same Windows server? e.g Netweaver is running on the .Net server that you're using for BPC.
Edited by: Wouter van Schalkwyk on May 15, 2009 4:20 AM

Hi,
In general Netweaver needs 64 bit machine and BPC needs 32 bit machine, so need to have two servers. but with some settings in IIS (mentioned in Install guide) you can make BPC (.net server) work with 64 bit machine. So you can have both Netweaver and BPC in one 64 bit machine.

BPC Netweaver version - Conversion File Formulas

BPC (Netweaver) Expert,
When creating formulas on the Data Conversion File that is called by the Transformation File, the Formulas are not working on the Netweaver Version. Does anyone have any idea what may not be set up correctly?
Thanks,
Greg Rotvold

Hello Greg,
BPC Netweaver uses somewhat different syntax for conversion formulas, and uses javascript for complex formulas, so formulas written using Visual Basic on the MS version will not work, though the basic *IF logic should work (I think I'm remembering MS conversion formulas correctly, but it's been a while). You can find the relevant Netweaver version documentation here: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/81/94a8a5febd40268d5c59b4fc31be37/frameset.htm]
If you want help specifically on the Netweaver version I suggest you ask your question in the Netweaver forum. I'm not sure what forum is most appropriate for questions about the differences between the two versions

Migration from BPC Microsoft Version to BPC netweaver Version?

Dear all,
we plan to migrate bpc.
what tools that we use to Migration BPC Microsoft Version to BPC netweaver Version ?
Any suggestion for safety technique?

Hi Tara,
As far as I know there is no automatic method provided by SAP right now to migrate from SAP BPC MS to SAP BPC NW.
Please have in mind that the front end will be the same, but the backend will be different: BW, BADIS and ABAP (In NW) vs SQL, SSIS packages, Stored Procedures and Visual Basic (In MS). Which means that there will not be an easy way to perform this migration in an automatic way.
Hope this helps

Help about ESS/MSS - Deploy error and landscape question

Hi.
I read a lot of post about this topic, but I continue something confuse about them.
I want to configure ESS and MSS.
My landscape is:
- J2EE 7.0 with Portal 7.0 (2004s) in a server A.
- ECC 5.0 ( with HR component SP05) in a server B.
Server B, has only stack Abap.
Server A is the latest version of Netweaver today. (stack j2ee and stack abap, BI, XI, Portal, etc)
I download and deploy in server A (J2EE 7.0), this components:
- BP ESS for erp2004
- BP MSS for erp2004
When I deploy the ESS BP, the deployment break raising this kind of error with the most of components, for example:

===========================================================================
Deployment started Tue Apr 10 12:01:57 ART 2007

Obviously, for this reason the most of iviews raise errors. A few of these works ok.
I assign role, and others configuration steps, this part I thinks that is OK
I configured the Jco, the role in Portal, the profile in ERP for ESS, etc.
My principal question is:
Can I use Portal 7.0 against ECC 5.0 in order tu use ESS/MSS based on webdynpro, without stack j2ee in ECC server (B) ?
Is necesary install J2ee stack in my server B ? or not?
Where I need to deploy the XSS 500 components ? in the J2EE 7.0 ?
Why when I deploy have this problem and the most of components cant deploy it?
For my landscape, which is the recommended setup ?
thanks in advance.!
Leandro.

You can use Portal 7.0 against ECC 5.0
Is necesary install J2ee stack in my server B ? or not?
You don't need to install J2EE stack on ECC system
Where I need to deploy the XSS 500 components ? in the J2EE 7.0 ?
Deploy XSS on Portal server not on ECC.
Why when I deploy have this problem and the most of components cant deploy it?
There won't be any issue. Go for ERP 2005
For my landscape, which is the recommended setup ?
As per the landscape mentioned by you, I will suggest go for ERP 2005 & XSS 600.

Error In BPC Netweaver Export Package-version 7.5

Hi Bpc Experts, We upgraded DEV BPC Version 7 to 7.5 netweaver version. We are facing an issue when exporting data from BPC to BI application server.Please find the error message as below
Task name CONVERT:
No 1 Round:
0GL_ACCOUNT is not a valid command or column 0GL_ACCOUNT does not exist in source
Application: CONSOLIDATION Package status: ERROR
I request you to give a suggestion to fix the above issue
Thanks
Mahesh

Can you try the below mapping:
0GLACCOUNT=C_ACCT
I have my transformation file maintained in such a way that my BPC dimensions are maintained to the right of '=' sign.
Maintain your mapping like that and validate the tansformation file with the data in the BPC cube.

BW Landscape Question - DEV and QAS in same Environment

Hi,
I do have a doubt about the following Landscape of my client:
ECC - PRD CLNT 100 --> BW Prod
ECC- DEV CLNT 400 --> BW Dev
ECC- DEV CLNT 100
Basically
ECC- DEV CLNT 400 has MasterData but NO customizing !!
ECC- DEV CLNT 100 has NO MasterData but Cusomtizing !
First I pointed the Source System to DEV CLNT 100 but as has no MData that though was no point on having such connection.
So created the landscape as above described.
The only draw back I can see is that every time I activate some BI_CONT in BWD it replicates it in DEV CLNT 400 for which the client is not open for customization so get the message "no authorization for..."
So the procedure is to activate the Datasources (in ECC) on CLNT 100 where is open for Custo and is automatically visible on CLNT 400.
Think the landscape described above is a proper one or can see any pitfall ?
thank you,
AM

Hi Alex
Regarding your question, there is no right or wrong approach, but one has to understand the purpose of the multiple clients on a system, plan accordingly and depending on the business requirements this drives the landscape.
On a development system, you can have multiple clients for various purposes and have the BW system linked to the relevant client:
- Customizing
- Testing (prefered BW Development connection to an ERP Development system)
- Play
In response to your question, it is a good approach to following and the only pitfall would be someone trying to do transactions in the customizing client and the BW system not been able to extract the data for testing purposes.
Currently I have my BW Development system pointing a ERP Development system which contains 3 clients:
- 1 Client (i.e. 200) for Customizing (customizing only, no transaction data).
- 1 Client (i.e. 220) for Play (copy from the ERP production system which contains master and transaction data).
- 1 Client (i.e. 230) for Testing (copy from the ERP production system which contains master and transaction data).
For the testing and play clients, we can also refresh the data if required, generally we try to do this ever 3 months or when there is a large project to be done, i.e. fiscal year change).
Of these 3 clients, my BW Development system only points to the ERP System's Testing client (client 230) so that the we can test extractions on master and transaction data. All developments done in the ERP Development system for BW is done in the customizing client (client 200), since most of the development work is client independent regarding the extractors, so it would then be automatically in the testing client. We have been using this approach for the last 5 years, with no major issues.
PS: The only issue you may have is regarding the extractors that use classification (transaction CTBW) as there is a client specific issue refer to OSS Note: 588184.

Derek

SLD Landscape Question

Hi
We are about to implement the SLD landscape for our PI systems.
From the documentation (SDN and HELP.SAP.COM), it is recommended to have all SLD Data Suppliers send to the PI Production SLD Bridge. The SLD data is then automatically forwarded to the DEV/QA SLD Bridge (Design Time SLD).
This is straight forward and I can see how to get the ABAP stack to look at the correct SLD Server.
However, when it comes to the JAVA stack, I can't see how to configure the SLD CLIENT of an instance in the design-time landscape to use the design-time SLD Server.
Version of Netweaver in 7.0.
Thanks

SAP Web AS (Java) 6.30/6.40 Start-up: JProbe's Direct Support
This feature is available starting with JProbe 5.2.2. For details of application server integration, refer to the JProbe documentation. Here, the single steps for the SAP application server are briefly described.
Step 1: Create an Integration for the instance to be profiled.
 Click Tools -> Application Server Integration.
 Choose SAP Application Server 6.30.
 Click Create.
 To fill out the columns, follow the help you get via tooltip.
 Specify whether server or dispatcher should be profiled.
Step 2: Create a Configuration.
 Click Tools -> Manage J2EE Configurations.
 Click Add.
 Fill in Configuration Name and Integration.
 Optionally, you could specify an application to be profiled; this is just used to help to set the correct filters for profiling. If you know which packages or classes should be profiled, you can leave these fields empty; otherwise, specify the directory where the application is deployed and the .ear or .war file in this directory.
Step 3: Create the J2EE Settings.
 Click Session -> New J2EE Settings.
 Specify the configuration.
 Specify the other options, especially set filters (optionally, you could use the application specified in the configuration for filtering).
Step 4: Use the Connection Manager.
 Different to "startup via jlaunch" below the Connection Manager has to be used.
 Click Tools -> Options -> Advanced Session; mark "Use Connection Manager."
Step 5: Check the property 'IDxxxxxx.JavaPath' in instance.properties in the directory /usr/sap/<SID>/JCxx/j2ee/cluster
 JProbe relies on the property to find Java home, but there are Web AS 6.30/6.40 SPs that do not have this property.
 If it is not included, add it for dispatcher or server (dependent on which one should be profiled)
 For example, add "ID8156650.JavaPath=C:/java/jdk1.4.2_06."
 Be aware that using the standard startup procedure instance.properties is overwritten, so you might repeat this step.
Step 6: Start the J2EE Engine with JProbe
 Start the database and the central instance (enqueue and message server).
 In JProbe click "Run" for the J2EE settings defined before.
 Dispatcher and server of the J2EE Engine will be started; the one specified in the Integration will be profiled.
SAP Web AS (Java) 6.30/6.40 Start-up: Using JProbe 5.2.x via JLaunch
Starting the Server via JLaunch
Detailed instructions how to start JLaunch can be found in the documentation of SAP Web AS (Java). Here we give only the minimal list of steps:
 1.
 Include the location of JLaunch in the PATH
 2.
 Go to base directory of dispatcher or server (depending on which one you want to start).
 jlaunch pf=c:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\profile\<SID>_JCxx_<Host>
 -nodename=IDxxxxxxx
 where "IDxxxxxxx" can be figured out from the "instance.properties" in directory "cluster."
Creating a JProbe Startup File
In order to start up JProbe via JLaunch, you need to create a start-up file (.jpl) with the JProbe launchpad as follows:
 1.
 Click Session -> New J2SE Settings
 2.
 Enter filters, triggers, ...
 3.
 In the Configuration main class and the classpath fields are mandatory; a dummy entry for main class is sufficient, for classpath you could use %CLASSPATH%
 4.
 Save the .jpl file
 5.
 Switch off the Connection Manager; in JProbe 5.2.x a Connection Manager is introduced, which does not work if a Java application is started from a C-framework; therefore use Tools -> Options -> Session -> Advanced to switch off the Connection Manager
 6.
 Change the .jpl file with a text editor
 Comment out the line starting with -jp_java
 Add the connection information and the snapshot directory information; related to the introduction of the Connection Manager this is not written when the .jpl file is saved in the launchpad
 o
 -jp_socket=<host for analysis>:<port> (e.g. localhost:4444)
 o
 -jp_snapshot_dir=<snapshot directory> (e.g. c:
Jprobe
snapshots)
Starting JProbe with the Server
Start JLaunch as above, but attach the following parameters to the JLaunch command line:
jlaunch pf=... -nodename=... -Xbootclasspath/a:JProbe-Base-Dir\lib\jpagent.jar
 -Xrunjprobeagent:-jp_input=.jpl-file
For the .jpl-file please, specify the complete path. If there are blanks in the file or directory names, use double quotes or the DOS notation (e.g. PROGRA~1). After starting JLaunch you can now attach the viewer to it (JProbe -> Program -> Attach to Remote/Running Session).

BPC NW installation questions

Dear expert,
I get that BPC NW is composed by a BW server on 64bit hardware and .Net, IIS, BPC app server on 32bit hardware.
I am just have 2 questions about the BPC installation and configuration.
1 -> does the BI content component need to be installed in the BW ABAP server?
2 -> How can i change the server connection on 32 bit hardware to another BW server on 64 bit hardware?
Thanks and BR
Lin

Hi Lin,
1. Yes, abap server compoment needs to install on BI system using SAINT, then you can perform the customization as per the installation document. BI system should be BI 7.0 EPH1
2. normally BPC will also support 64bit windows application but preferred 32bit OS application and it can talk to backend system with 64bit application.
let me know if you have any questions.
thanks
Venkata

BOE/BW landscape question

HAd a question about managing/configuring BOE in a BW environment.
We are planning to have many non-production systems in our BW landscape. (Dev, Dev+1, Product test, Performance Test, Training..etc).
If we are also including BOE in our environment (Webi, Infoview, etc), do we need a corresponding BOE environment for each BW environment?
We currenrly make all BW changes in our develpment environment and transport thru the landscape to all other environments. Wondering how that works for BO objects , what systems need to be set up, and what is best practice for this and managing changes through the landscape.
Seems that a separate BOE environment for every non-prod BW implies additional cost (hardware and licensing) and we are trying to determine the best scenario.
But also want to maitain the control of versions and changes through the landscape and ability to test them as they progress through.
Thanks.

My recommendation is to have a 1-1 setup.
There are two kinds of connections between BO and SAP.
1) Authentication connections
2) Data connections.
Authentication connections allow your SAP users to use the credentials to log into the BO system. You can indeed create more than one authentication connections within a BOBJ system.
Data connections retrieve data from SAP sources into your BOBJ reports. A single report/dashboard (WebI,CR,XCelsius) can connect to several SAP data sources at once. But you cannot dynamically change the name of the system you are connecting to. At least not by applying generic BOBJ functionality.
SAP Business Objects offers the LifeCycle Manager to help you manage the life cycle of your projects in a multi-leveled environment.
Assuming you are using a single BOBJ installation for multiple SAP systems you have to make sure that the security is well defined in order to separate your development from your production environment. You will probably have to work with separate
folders to host your different environments. In this case you will not be able to use all capabilities of the LCM (like mapping of data connections).

NetWeaver JavaStack - NetWeaver Upgrade Question

Hello Gurus,
Please ignore I sound little uninitiated in this.
This is about the so called JavaStack upgrade after (?) the technical upgrade.
- What exactly is the so called Javastack in netweaver? It is not same as 'Usage Type' Java? Is this AS Java?
- What is the right time to do the JavaStack Upgrade? After technical upgrade?
- How much after tech upgrade? 2-3 weeks are ok? Will the new features of BI 7 not be available till we upgrade the javastack?
- Without upgrdaing to Javastack, will NONE of the new functionalities be available in BI 7.0?
Please help.
Regards
Manish Madhav

In continuation
To use any web based components, including the 2004s Web Application Designer, Report Designer, or Web Analyzer, you need to have BI-JAVA usage type installed.
You can still use the 2004s BEx Analyzer (Excel) without the BI-JAVA usage type.
When you install BI JAVA, it will have its own EP and AS JAVA usage types under it. You have no option with this as they are required to run BI JAVA (just like you have AS ABAP under the BI usage type).
It is recommended that you have all 4 usage types installed (AS-ABAP, AS-JAVA, EP, and BI-JAVA) as this is required for full functionality. These can be on a single system or can be 2 separate systems:
1 system:
System (AS-ABAP, AS-JAVA, BI-JAVA, EP)
2 systems:
System (AS-ABAP)
System (AS-JAVA, BI-JAVA, EP)
