BPC NW 7.5 and BW ETL transformations

Hello everybody,
This is a simple question: did anyone face any kind of problem building BW transformations to load BPC infocubes?
I read it in BPC mannuals, as a valid practice to load transactional data into BPC infocubes, using BW functionality. It's able to use transformations to load transactional data into any BPC infocubes, from RSA1.
Recently, we have upgraded from BPC NW 7.0 to 7.5, and all transformations that we built on BPC infocube do not let us to optimize the corresponding BPC application. Even SAP suggest us to erase them, but i don't undestand why should i do it.
Any help will be appreciate.
Best regards.

Hi Luisma,
I really don't think this has ever been an officially SAP-recommended approach for loading transactional data to or from BPC cubes - I believe that this is what Nilanjan is talking about. Of course, SAP has a lot of people working for them and it's definitely possible that someone recommended this, but I'm pretty sure that this has always been talked about as a possibility that is not recommended and not supported by SAP.
You mention How To guides, and there is definitely a How To guide for loading master data using transformations and a custom program that is informally supported by SAP on this forum. But master data and transactional data objects behave very differently in BPC. In the 7.5 version, I think it is recommended to switch from using the How To guide approach for master data loads and instead use the built-in functionality in the 7.5 version. Is this what you are talking about? In this case it is InfoObjects and not InfoCubes being loaded, so maybe it is just a terminology problem.

    Working at a newspaper, I'm having difficulty making a presentation made in Indesign and must be transformed in an application for Ipad / IOs.
    That occurs in DPS consgigo generate the file .ipa put it nsao install on Device, getting the message "installing" all the time.
    If I get the zip file and the xml of the person who generated the folios, as indicating that the DPS?
    grateful

    In fact, it is listed in the devices profile file. The problem I see is the steps to production of an APP.
    Made as follows:
    My friend created the folios in InDesign (with your login) on another machine. Provided in a shared folder.
    I already have the contents of the application. From here, I believe he should publish through the Folio Producer and then I create the Application Builder IOs in DPS app in Title citing the Login ID he used to publish the content.
    Hence, I believe that would only make the Download Device and see install  APP.
    Is this the correct sequence?
    Please.

  • BPC 5.1 Performance and Dashboards

    Hi:
    I have BPC 5.1 Installation and cannot find the Performance feature installed.
    I have seen this in Demo VMware which is located at http://<<server>>/osoft/performance/default.aspx.
    I could not find this and when I checked my server installation I do not have performance folder in my web directory.
    Is there a separate installation for performance and dashboards?

    I am sorry to say but it is not part of the product, it is technically a prototype/custom solution. It will not be supported in 5 nor become part of the commercial product.

  • Current View as filter in BPC Vs Planning level and package in BPS

    Hi,
         If I understand correctly, the current view is as like a filter in BPC as planning level and package in BPS, by comparing then I notice that the value for current can only be single value while in planning level and package we can have range, multiple value of single value.
        Let's have a planning scenario  we need to planning for every month based on the actual month data,
    in BPS we can easily configure two type of columns with actual and planning data, while in BPC, since the current view only  allow single value, we have to copy the actual data to planning data, then with the category set to planning, we can do our planning. Of course if there is hierarchy, we can use parent to allow to display all the child.
       The other option is to use the EvGTS function which can retrieve the data outside the current view.
       Anybody have other though on this?

    Hi JW-
    I did not mean to imply that the Current View (CV) is not a filter.  It can definitely be used to filter data presented from an EVDRE as well as other Ev functions, just like filters in BPS and IP.  However as a developer you have the option to use the CV or, through your configuration, disregard and/or override the CV settings.
    One example of disregarding CV settings is using standard Excel functions to provide the user a dropdown list from which to select certain dim members.  The drop down box selection could be used instead of the CV for defining Ev function selections.  My point is that you have multiple design paths of controlling what data is selected/processed; you are not only limited to the CV values.  From a performance viewpoint, you are correct in assuming that limiting the data selection will greatly impact overall performance.  Using the CV to limit data selection to enhance performance is very valid approach, just be aware that there are several alternative ways (other than using CV to control data selection) available to the developer.

  • Differences between security tasks in BPC 7.0 MS and BPC 10.0 NW

    Hi all,
    I am on a migration Project from BPC 7.0 MS to BPC 10.0 NW and I have to migrate task profiles.
    The problem is that while uploading the task profiles from a .csv, I realized that there are differences between the tasks to assign in source and destination system. Sometimes the task that exist in MS doesn't exist in NW or there are new tasks in NW that doesn't exist in MS version.
    I am attaching an Excel sheet with the comparison between both systems.
    The question is simple, how can I move these task profiles on a semiautomatic way? Do you know about any documentation about the differences between security task in MS and NW?
    Thanks in advance

  • Disable "logon" button for BPC for Excel,powerpoint and word .

    Hello All,
            Is there way to hide u201CLOGONu201D button for BPC for excel, word and PowerPoint. We want that our end users canu2019t see it.We have 300 users .  Is there any environment variable or BPC package setting for this to do it for all users in one shot?
    Thanks,
    Saquib Khan

    Hi,
    I still don't get why this requirement but I can understand it is required by a customer.
    I don't understand where is the problem if somebody will press by mistake that button.
    It will prompt login window and the user will be able to press cancel button.
    I think the solution proposed it is really dangerours and it can cause a lot of issues with BPC if you will delete the logon dll.
    What I want to clarify is who is asking about that button to be hide?
    Are we speaking about BPC users?
    If yes then they will use a really nice functionality.
    Majority of BPC users are working in Excel and at some moment they need access to BPC.
    So in that case it is easy they have just to press the logon button.
    If you will hide that button they will have to go into launch page and from there to start BPC webexcel.
    So that's means they will really loose a lot of time just to be back again into excel.
    So I don't get why the people request to hide that button.
    Let's suppose somebody press by mistake that button ...what is the issue with that?
    I need to understand the requirements to be able to understand what kind of solution we can provide for customer.

  • Transportation of Mater and Transactional ETL models

    Hi,
    please consider the scenario,Ex: One cube " ZSD_C06 " contains 6 infoobjects. each info object having 2 data source ( like attibute  and text ).
    Now, My questions are
    1) Is it neccesay to transport the master data ETL model first and then  tranport the transactional data. ETL Model?
    2) Can i keep all the data sources (attribute and text ) of these  info objects in ECC  into one single request?If yes please tell me the    process.?
    3) Is it neccessary the data sources tranportatio first and the ETL  model next ?
    Thanks in advance
    Naresh.

    Hi Naresh,
    What ever the model
    1. You will transport DS First and you will replicate those DS in BI Quality.
    2. Then You will transport the Master Data Objects.
    3. Finally you need to transport the DSO's.
    1) Is it neccesay to transport the master data ETL model first and then tranport the transactional data. ETL Model?
    Yes
    2) Can i keep all the data sources (attribute and text ) of these info objects in ECC into one single request?If yes please tell me the process.?
    You can do this.While activating the DS you assign them to one TR Request or manually open the TR request and maintain the DS list under that request.
    3) Is it neccessary the data sources tranportatio first and the ETL model next ?
    Yes

  • BPC 7.5 NW SP5 - Question regarding Transformation file for exporting data

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to export data from a BPC application to App.server/UJFS. There are currently 13 dimensions in the application. The user requires the output file to contain only three dimensions followed by the amount(signdata), namely
    | COSTCENTER | ACCOUNT | TIME | AMOUNT |.
    How do i handle the same in transformation file?
    Currently i am using the following transformation file but i am having issues validating it.
    *OPTIONS
    FORMAT = DELIMITED
    HEADER = YES
    OUTPUTHEADER=*COSTCENTER,ACCOUNT,TIME, PERIODIC
    DELIMITER = ,
    AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = .
    SKIP = 0
    SKIPIF =
    VALIDATERECORDS=NO
    CREDITPOSITIVE=YES
    MAXREJECTCOUNT=
    ROUNDAMOUNT=
    *MAPPING
    COSTCENTER=*COL(2)
    ACCOUNT=*COL(4)
    TIME=*COL(13)
    AMOUNT=*COL(14)
    I tried to remove the OUTPUTHEADER from *options and tried but it still gives the same issue.
    Please help me as to how i can handle this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Victor

    The 'Export' data package which comes as part of a support pack enhancement does not support using Transformation/Conversion files to modify data prior to transport.
    Please refer to section 3 (Limitations) in the below how to guide.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    Hence your only option is to manually massage data in the spreadsheet after exporting.

  • Difference between New ETL and Old ETL

    Hi All,
    In old ETL process we first have a InfoSource (Can be connected from DataSources from Different Source Systems). We have 1 set of Transfer Rules. Again if there are different definitions to be loaded into different data target we define them in Update Rules.
    What incase of new ETL is the purpose of maintaining 2 transformations (Replacing Update Rules and Tranfer Rules). Can't we directly define different transformations on DataSource itself. Where the requirement comes that we define two transformations with InfoSource in between.

    Hi Ravi,
    What incase of new ETL is the purpose of maintaining 2 transformations (Replacing Update Rules and Tranfer Rules). Can't we directly define different transformations on DataSource itself. Where the requirement comes that we define two transformations with InfoSource in between.
    .here is the requirement
    suppose thr are some modification required to be done in an infoobject value ..suppose the value '1' is to be replaced by 'Y'  in an infoobject for all data targets...then such a modification will be put in the transformation from datasource to infosource and after that individual transformations are applied from infosource to different data targets,these transformation are data target specific rules..like update rules..in this case u only had to write the rule for 1-->Y once in first transformation ...
    So in short .. transfer rules as well as update rules are now called transformations.....
    yes u can directly define transformations on datasource itself as well ..infosource is not mandatory

  • 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!
