BPC NW and Related BW Configuration

Hi All,
We are currently in development stages of BPC NW. I have a question regarding the BPC and BW server configuration and load balancing.
Our BW user base is about 200.
When we implement BPC we are targeting to roll it out to a initial group of 100 BPC users. Per our understanding all place calls to the existing BW application/database servers to get their reports.
Are there any sizing documents/guidelines that talk about the tuning that is required to the existing BW servers to accomodate BPC users as well?
Thanks,
Shai

Hi Shai-
Please see attached docuement that describes the sizing requirements for SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation version for Netweaver installation.
Regards,
Sheldon

Dynamically generated Detailed navigation and related link

Where is the Detailed navigation and related link configured for the ESS/MSS.
Is it done in the Homepage Framework configuration?
I could see different navigation and related links for different worksets within ESS/MSS getting called dynamically. Where is this configured.

Hello Sir,
If you haven't made it at this point, this is indeed done via the Home Page Framework via the backend on the following IMG PATH:
> Cross-Application Components
> Homepage Framework
1. You make a resource available via the Role (via PCD)
2. You customize every other part as a cascade:
Define Area group / Headers
-> Define Areas / Assign Area to Area Group
-> Define Subareas / Assign subarea to Area
-> Define Services / Assign Services to Subarea.
Hope I have clarified.

BPC backup and restore Q&A...

Dear all:
See below, and please share your knowledge!
Situation
We are in the phase of modifying existing structure. We would like to back up what's in the Production server, and restore onto Development Box and develop and test our modification there using the latest data we have.
Data
We have a production server, which SQL service and BPC service are running on separate physical server (as I was told), and a development box, which SQL and BPC are running together in one box.
A_PRODUCTION is the App Set in the Production Server
A_DEV is the App Set in the Development Box.
Below are what I have done and failed:
1.
a. I used "Server Manager" to back up A_PRODUCTION.
b. I then copied and pasted the backup folder (in which has Web, File, SQL etc sub folders) to the Development Box.
c. I used "Server Manager" to restore by selecting the backup folder. The Server Manager was able to allocate all the backup files and SQL db.
d. My Web and File folders are OKed during restore, but my SQL restore failed with an error message.
2.
a. We tried to open SQL Server Management Studio, and manually restore the A_PRODUCTION SQL backup (*.BAK) to A_DEV of Development box.
b. We received the error message, System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database "A_PRODUCTION" as read from the backup set. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo).
c. We went to option and checked "Overwrite existing database" and still failed to restore.
3.
a. I logged on to Development Box's BPC Web Admin, and tried to create an App Set that has the same name A_PRODUCTION as my live database in the Production Server.
b. The App Set creation failed at OLAP service with an error message saying something about "SalesPerson" column was not found or something.
c. I noticed that a database named A_PRODUCTION is created Development Box.
d. I tried method 1 and 2 again to A_PRODUCTION of the Development Box and failed.
Question
What is wrong with my approach?
I have referenced the document https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20a26f50-4252-2a10-8c97-a2c7058cd804, and am confused why we have to backup the master database.
Secondly, in the document, quoted "Restore Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database(s): Restore the most recent database backup for APPSERVER, and each of the application set databases.
(ApShell/ApShellExtra)", what is the difference between "the most recent database backup for APPSERVER", and "each of the application set databases"?
At last, in the document, quoted "You must use an u2018Open File Agentu2019 to backup Data files that may be in use by the web server.", what does it mean by using an Open File Agent? Is it a type of agent in SQL backup service, or an agent in general that is able to back up open files?
Thank you!

Kranthi and Akim:
Thanks for the reply...
Kranthi: With BPC Admin ID, I did go back to *BPC Administration\Manage Security* and re-saved the configuration, and I did see the table update in *Database Engine\AppServer\tblAppSetAccess*. I could then grant my Windows ID rights to "everything", but was only able to access BPC Administration.
Akim: Can you be more specific about delete/recreate orphaned users? Did you mean deleting/creating via SQL Analysis Services AppServer\tblAppSetAccess, or via BPC Administration\Manage Security? In addition, when you mentioned "reset permissions from the application itself", did you mean to modify Task, Member Access Profile, Team, and User, and re-save them again with the same settings?
I am sorry that this thread has become longer than expected. Here are some updates:
1. I have two Application Sets which my Windows ID can access: AppShell (default) and App_Dev
2. I tried to create a new Application Set "App_Dev1" by copying from App_Dev (unchecked database,biz process flows, content library, and live reports). Then I logged in as BPC Admin and added my Windows ID to the System Admin Team, which was modified to have full access to everything. Again the same problem occured -- I could access App_Dev1's BPC Administration area but could not access BPC Excel; same error messages popped out.
3. I tried to create a new Application Set "AppShell1" by copying from AppShell (same unchecked everything). Then I logged in as BPC Admin and added my Windows ID to the System Admin Team, which was modified to be able to access everything. Same result as #2
4. I tried to add myself to the System Admin Team of original AppShell, and I could open BPC Excel.
My experiments so far concluded the followings:
--No problem with App_Dev and AppShell in the Development Box
--I could grant myself access to everything in any new Application Set, but only was able to access BPC Administration
--BPC Admin ID and my Network Administrator (Domain Admin)'s Windows ID has no problem opening BPC Excel in any Application Set.
What concerns me now is that even a copy from AppShell is not working as expected... My Network Administrator said it is not an easy process to reinstall BPC Development Server, but I think that's perhaps the only way to fix everything, if the root causes remain mysterious.
If you have any insightful tip, please share with me as I have spent over a week and cannot progress further... Thank you!!!!

Hi,
A copy:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6bd6f69a-0701-0010-a88b-adbb6ee89b34
Follow these steps while installing XI:
1. Windows server or advanced server with latest service patch.
2. IE 6.0 with latest service patch
3. Install Microsoft office and winzip, acrobat
4. Install JDK with version 1.4.2_03 or above with the corresponding JVM
5. Install the SAP GUI 6.20
6. Make sure that you have hard disk space of 10 GB in C drive and 50 GB in the installation drive.
7. Make sure the virtual memory is between 512 and 1594 or above for the installation drive.
8. Copy the dumps of following DVDs into the installation drive.
Installation Master DVD

Additonal Components for SAP BW/SAP XI,SAP MI,SAP KW
SAP Web As Java
9. Start the installation from the DVD dump Installation Master DVD.
10. When installing the ABAP Database the SID of the oracle default database should be different the ABAP database SID.
U can go through the Installtion Guides for Installing XI from http://service.sap.com/instguides (SR1 installation)
u can also refer to service.sap.com/platforms to see the available platform on which XI can be installed. ( Windows/linux/UNIX)
or you can even go through this weblog which clearly talks to you about XI installation
XI installation: https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700009389172004E.PDF
In addition to this installation guide you also need to download the XI configuration guide which is very useful for technical configurations of various adapters and XI system.
At the same place you will also get the XI configuration guide e.g XI30ConfigGuideSPS11.pdf.
U can also download SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 SR1 Installtion Guide from the articles scetion.
ABOUT XI :
If its just that you wanted to know more about sap xi....then the information below should definitely help you.
The best way to learn XI would be to make the maximum use of XI from its forums, weblogs, presentations, etc in SDN.
First I thought I will just give u the basic steps involved in doing any scenario in XI. This is very essential for a beginner.
First of all you would need to define your product, software component, business system and configure the technical landscape in the sld.
You then go on to create the objects in the repository, you import your software component here and then begin your design steps. To import your RFCs n Idocs if you require any before proceeding.
Then under the name space which you want, you go on to define your data types, message types and message interfaces.
Then you do your message mappings where you specify your source and target message types and the relation between them, then you do your interface mapping. If you are using a BPM, you do the integration process.
Once you have this done, you will have to move to the directory, here is where you define how you use the objects and how you configure them to work as a scenario.
You assign your business system to the configuration scenario which you have created, and create the communication channels. Then you go on to configure the receiver determination, interface determination, and the sender and receiver agreements. Once youre done you will have make sure you activate your objects. The exact parameters steps depend on what kind of scenario you are implementing.
You can use sxmb moni or the runtime workbench to monitor the entire scenario which you have done.
Also I would suggest this link on SAP help for any info that you want on XI,

Looking for a clone solution for Oracle WebCenter Content, Imaging and related products

Hi,
We are looking for a manual or automated cloning solution for Oracle WebCenter Content (UCM), Imaging (ICM) and related products. Oracle FMW has T2P cloning option, but we are looking for more specific to just this product to clone and configure (if needed). Any help is appreciated.

Hi
Assuming you have set up Purchasing with accrual method on receipt (and not on period end), you could enter the PO lines with receipt required. The receipt transactions you are uploading will generate the accounting to charge the expense accounts / or inventory valuation account.
There is no need to interface those also to Payables. In AP enter one invoice with the real monthly amount and match it to the purchase order level or to the receipts level. Approve and pay that invoice.

I am trying to implement SSL on a newly installed BPC NW system. Everything went well until i started to configure SSL.
After completing the steps as mentioned in install guide, Server manager is unable to connect
I have checked ABAP users, all users are correctly configured as needed in the install doc.
Errors i notice,
1) Cannot connect to planning & consol. web server(when i try to open server mgr).
2) Once i get past message 1, SAP ABAP server connection is in error state
3) Microsoft message queue is in error state
If i undo all the SSL settings my system works without issues
Any suggestions are appreciated
Thanks.....

Dear SAP Fan,
You could refer this document please
Link deleted 10 July 2012 - Content was removed.
That document for SAP BPC 10 and the step-by-step still can run on SAP BPC 7.5NW. For SSL certification installation guide you can refer your security certification company.

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

Dear Windows support personel,
As part of my message reads above; I keep getting an i-tunes update message and when I click on the OK to download it, I get an error message saying there was a problem and I need to go to Tools>manual download. Well, I don't know how to do that even though I gave it my best try. I went to the support sight and it had the following message;
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components, may have unintended affects.
If you encounter an error while uninstalling, try repairing the affected component:
I don't know if I should do that since I'm not PC savey. Could you help me by doing the work on my pc for me? I'd be most apprieciative if you'd help me in this manner.
Sincerely,

Hi Poojith
Not sure if this would solve your requirment but just in case might be helpful:
1. We can mix up the HTML and HTMLB components in the JSP Page. However, can access only the HTMLB components in the controller. The following link refers to what customizations are offered by the HTMLB framework:
[http://www.sapdesignguild.org/resources/htmlb_guidance/]
2. Another option would be to use AbstractPortalComponents or a simple web app if that's feasible. (where custom UI themes, css and layout are more in control of the developers.)

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.
Also notice the sticky [note|Please do not post BPC, SSM or FI/CO questions here!; at the top of this forum whereby we announced new dedicated forums for BPC which are the proper place to post your questions regarding BPC in the future to be able to reach the right audience for your question.
Thanks and best regards,

How to show statistics of main item and related items with less filter?

Hi experts,
Have any of you come thro' similar requirements before?
To show the statistics of a main item in different aspect in a document and show the comparison of this item in a particular aspect with other related items as inputted at prompt.
You can image that, for the comparison, if I build another query for the related items, there will be duplicated dimensions, which we aim to avoid as duplicated dimension confuse end users.
However, if i build the main items and related items in same query, for those reports of main item only, I need to add a report filter one by one!
Any one of you have better idea?
Thanks and Regards,
Cherry

You Should use Formatted Search in this case.
You must create and associate a query for your field.
click on the field you want items to be listed and press Shift + F2
catch the keydown event of this field and check pval.charpressed = 9 (tab key press)
then execute
SBO_Application.SendKeys("+")

Hi Naga,
Please refer to this article for the processes relevant to the Java Instance:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/1bf03eae11e16be10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Except the processes of the Java instance you can find several processes of the IGS server and the ABAP disp+work processes.
You can easily find the relevant services by their SAP prefix.
Hope this helps.
