BPC Service packs

Dear All,
I would like you to do a simple test:
1- Find someone who know a bit the SAP portal (or even someone who doesnt know it)
2- Ask him to download the latest service pack of BPC and its details (what the updates does...)
3- Go for a coffee.
4- Go for another coffee...
I mean by that, and this message is for SAP portal admins, the SAP portal website is a nightmare! The information is a bit everywhere and nowhere....Why not creating something simple to download Service Packs and its notes?
I am not new at all in their website, but each time I struggle to find the link for the download... I mean a real struggle...
So, today, I need the SP7, could someone give me a direct link? Is there a SP8, if yes could someone give me the link also?
Sorry for wanting "simple" stuff...
Nic

The portal can't be so bad... you found this forum.
I Hope the following links help.

BPC Service Pack Upgrade

Hi -
I am currently supporting BPC 7.5 NW on Service Pack 07.
The Basis team on my project has confirmed that our sandbox environment for BPC is on SP13. However, when I log onto this environment, there is no prompt to install the upgrade, and it appears that I am still on SP07.
Are there specific steps the Basis team should perform to enable the install prompt on the front end, and if so what are they?
Also, assuming I am able to install SP13 for sandbox, will I be able to easily revert back to the older SP on the other environments?
Thank you.

Vadim,
OK, I thinked that you have this information at your hand. How you say it.
I have been searching but I have not found it.
Thanks a lot and sorry for the inconvenients.

Bpc service Pack 6

Currently the BPC enviornment is version 5.046 and we downloded the service pack 6 but it is not automatically being pushed to the client computers.Multi server enviornment Windows 2003.
We did the following.
The client auto update is not working.
a.     We have to do one of 2 things to get the auto update to run
b.     Uninstall the previous version and reinstall the previous version then the message                  update     appears
c     Manually update via the Client software center
d     We tried applying Note 1275503 with no success
e     We tried with and w/o the Admin ID/password assigned
f     We tried starting/stopping the COM+ services
g     We tried applying the SMS software for SP6

The version command deosn't know about the extra classes that have the sp6.
Use the console to find out the real version. Alternativel you can ignore
weblogic instruction and simply unjar the jars intot he right place. The
trick is to make sure that the boot classes wind up in the correct place
(classes\weblogic\boot).
Good luck

How to uninstall a service pack BPC 5.1 SP09 and revert back

We are planning to upgrade from BPC 5.1 SP03 to BPC 5.1 SP09 on our test servers and would like to develop a backout plan incase we need backout this new service pack. Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this?

Unfortunately, support pack of BPC is foward-only packages. There is no option to uninstall specific SP or rollback. I like to suggest to use some image making tools such as Norton ghost.
However, you may have to backup your appset also. Because some of support packs have database related changes such as table design update as well as stored procedures.

BPC 7.5 MS Service Pack

Hi All,
I'm looking for the service pack installed in our BPC server.
In the Server Manager, i have version 7.5 104. Can anyone tell me which service pack it is?
Thanks,
Liam

Hi Liam,
Version 7.5.104 actually corresponds with BPC 7.5 SP03. Version 7.5.105 is BPC 7.5 SP04. I'm not sure why they don't make the version numbers match the Service Pack numbers, but they don't.
Thanks,
Scott

SAP List of Supported SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates

Does SAP provide a list of SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates that will work with BPC 7.0 and 7.5? I see that CU 12 is out for SP1 and CU 2 is out for SP2. I would like to know if I can move the SP2 CU2 or SP1 CU12. My install docs are outdated specifying SP1 CU6.
Any direction is appreciated.
Joe

Hi,
Please take a look at the below list of the supported OS: This excerpt is from the installation guide.
SP04 or later: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V
Windows Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V, or
Windows Server 2008 Data Center with or without Hyper-V
Windows Server 2003 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
Windows Server 2003 Standard configured on the SQL database or OLAP server components only
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
SAP recommends using Windows Server 2008 64 bit over Windows Server 2003 64 bit. Otherwise, supportability is limited.
I am not sure what did you mean by the front end. Having said that, 32 bit is supported both on the server and the client machines.
Hope this helps.

Are admin and office clients always updated for each service pack.

Hi,
I am investigating upgrading our BPC version from 7.0 SP3. The question I have been asked by my business clients is "do the admin and office clients of BPC always get updated with each service pack?" I assume they do because the install guide indicates that you must update them to the same version as the server. Upgrading the client versions is always a concern here because since we don't allow the automatic update our plans have to include packaging an SMS deployment to over 500 workstations of several different configurations and locations.

Hi,
Yes, there are changes in the clients in every service pack. This is why it's important that the version of the client matches the version on the server. We've seen issues where there was a mismatch and no one could log in because of the changes in the client.
I would advise always updating the clients when adding a new service pack.
Regards,
Jason

ApShell database rebuilt after each service pack installed ??

Hello,
Could someone please lets me know if the apshell database sample is rebuilt during an upgrade with a service pack or not ?
If so, is it rebuilt because the apshell changes with the service packs ?
Thank you in advance.
Lionel.

Hello,
Thank you very much for this answer, that confirms what I thought.
I fact, I have a problem with the installation of Service Pack in BPC 7.0 for MS.
During each upgrade, I encounter an error :
Update Sample Database: Error
and
Update Sample OLAP Database: Error
Than I manage to create manually the apshell using the ApShell.db9.
What can be the root cause of this issue ?
I have 2 servers : 1 BPC server and 1 SQL server. I used the SysAdmin user for the upgrade. This account is a domain user having administration rights on the SQL Server.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Lionel.

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Microsoft Service Pack 2 - not all versions are equal; how to update to the latest one "safe

I posted this under another topic where it was relevant, but thought the instructions I got from Microsoft were useful (as was my experience in using them as I sent back a reply to them with the problems I encountered [none of which were particularly bad]):
One important point to note is that not all Windows XP SP2 upgrades are equal.
I had a different issue and spoke to Microsoft, who advised me to uninstall the version of SP2 I had and reinstall the newest version (the old version was about 70mb, the new one nearly 250mb).
Apparently the old SP2 had quite a few problems with it; I've found the new one to be "simply stress free" since installing...
The SP2 file name I installed (ie the newest at the time I did it) was "windowsxp-kb835935-sp2-enu".
Here's their instructions - I disagree with the way round that they suggested downloading the update (ie I would strongly advise downloading the update and having it sitting on your desktop before doing anything!!! - please see my feedback email to them that follows (you will note that I had problems connecting to the internet after uninstalling the earlier version; this, combined with the fact that I could barely read what was on the screen would have given me a major inconvenience had I not done this)!!! (and don't blame me if it goes horribly wrong - it's also worth double-checking that the version of SP2 the email links to is the most up to date. I've had a quick check myself, and it does indeed appear to still be the most up to date):

MY REPLY:
HiI successfully carried out the installation on Saturday.A few minor problems ensued (the second one may have cause a novice user real problems! Certainly caused me some concern whilst working through it!). I had to reinstall ATI drivers from scratch (for Radeon 9800 Pro); this was however the only set of drivers that appeared to "detach" itself. The main problem here was that instead of using the usual standard VGA driver (which it does when I uninstall it once a month to install updated drivers), it used some other driver that made the screen very difficult to see (especially on blue backgrounds!). Running ATI's total uninstall program sorted this out however, and fortunately I had the last update package from ATI still on my system. After uninstalling and reinstalling there appeared to be no further video problems.2. After installing SP2 (and before installing above), whilst I was in the process of getting everything up and running (eg installing the security updates) the system randomly froze about 4 or 5 times; the only way to sort this out was to use the power button. I traced this problem to Windows changing my wireless networking settings so that it handled everything; I have a Netgear adaptor the software for which usually controls this (Netgear Smart Wizard). Basically the two were trying to do the same task and causing crashes; on switching Windows management off, things settled down (the Netgear driver did not need to be reinstalled).3. As a minor point, after the upgrade and installing all other updates, I noted that Microsoft Update was no longer running; I had to reinstall it from Windows Update and the messages I got whilst installing suggested that it was still partially installed but that there were problems with it. It now works.4. As a final minor point, I attach the Scan log from Registry Mechanic which I ran after everything was up and running; it fixed various problems within the registry. I note that the majority of errors are inconsequential, but note that a few do relate to the various Microsoft installs; maybe the installer program for SP2/ Media Player 0 need to sort these out in future releases? Don't think they're a real problem though!The instructions supplied worked fine; one thing I would suggest is that users are instructed to download the SP2 upgrade pack to their desktop prior to uninstalling the original SP2; I believe that my internet connection problems started after I had uninstalled the original SP2 which may have caused problems downloading the new SP2. It also ensures that the download is successful (eg if the site was down for maintenance); I was advised whilst uninstalling SP2 that about 20 programs/drivers would not work properly after the uninstall and so the immediate reinstall was vital!One thing that seemed to fix after reinstalling was a problem I was having installing Media Player 0; after installing it previously, every time I checked for updates on it the whole program would reinstall. Now however this has fixed. I will let you know if I encounter any further problems, but things all seem to be fine now, touch wood.....!
Hope this helps!Message Edited by gjc26 on 0-27-2006 02:50 AM

One small thing - I believe the reason why some of my drivers were messing up was because they were SP2 specific; the older drivers and the ones that were compatible with both SP and 2 were fine.
As soon as I did the reinstall, all of the drivers/programs that were not working, worked (aside from the ones that I mentioned in my attached email above).
So, if after uninstalling the old SP2 you are told that loads of drivers/programs will not work, fear not - most should fix themselves upon installing the new SP2.

Can I obtain a CD-ROM with the latest revision of Adobe Reader for a Windows XP system w/ Service Pack 3. I do not want to go online with this system. I have dedicated it to read all of my PDF Files only.

I have 4 computer systems, 2 of which run under Windows XP w/ Service Pack 3. I have dedicated these systems to the task of reading all of my PDF Files which I have collected from my recent college career. The desktop system I want to use is an old Dell Optiplex GX240 with Acrobat Reader 4.0. The other Windows XP system I have is an old HP Laptop with Adobe Reader 8.1.4 installed. I want to update both systems to the latest version that is available for Windows XP w/Service Pack 3 installed. So, because I do not want to place these system online, would it be possible for me to obtain a copy of the Adobe Reader software I need on a CD-ROM? - Ken DeWitt, a 68-Year-Young Vietnam Veteran and recent college graduate...Summa Cum Laude.

ORADC problem on Windows 2000 with Service pack 1 and service pack 2

Hi,
I have a VB application running on NT4.0 workstations. It uses
ORADC control to talk to ORACLE 7.3 When I load it on Windows
2000 with service pack 1 or service pack 2, I encounter some
problems.
The ORADC control is used in most of the VB forms and the
Refresh method of the ORADC conrol is used to refresh the APEX
TRUE DBGRID PRO control. When this action is executed, I receive
a run time error
"Method Refresh of object '_DORADC' failed Err#: -2147417848
It works fine when no service pack is applied on Win2K.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Thanks

Tried to download itunes and now my iphone does not even work.I have been on the phone with apple for 3 hours and it still won't work.I have a service pack 2 in this land computer and it won't upgrade .I do have the latest verision of itunes.Then we put

I tried to download itunes to my phone.First it wanted it to download the new itunes.We also updated our Windows xp.I kept coming up can't complete because there was an error when setting up.One time is was error 9 and they tried to help me.I have a laptop with the internet and we tried it there.We were able to get service pack 3 downloaded.So we did upgrade the itunes on the laptop even though I have never put music on there but there is some from someone .I never heard of many of the songs.Any how I did try to download and restore on the laptop and then come to the land computer and see if the box comes up to restore the contacts.Well it didn 't work and now my phone won't even turn on .I have no one to call if something happened to me.I am going to the Apple store right off the bat tomorrow morning.I have everything in the box and the phone and reciept and see if they make it work or give me another one.I have to take my sim card again since They gave it back to me.I bet it means I can't sync the photos in the phone.Even with 2 computers and talking with 3 people it still did not work.All because I wanted to download the itunes to my phone.I don't care now if I can just get my phone to work and my contacts are in there.I hope I don't have to buy the ringtones again I bought 4 of them.Any one have this problem and what did you do to fix it?

The Apple rep tried both those ideas and both failed. The rep was connected to my computer so she
could see my screen and show me exactly what to do. My iPhone (not ipad) never has synced photos to my computer,
I have to use explorer to copy and paste or cut and paste them to my PC . It is the syncing back to my iPhone of only the much smaller selected photos that used to sync in itunes but now the itunes sync button cannot be clicked to make that happen. And the reason I only sync back selected photos is that my total PC pictures file is about 40 Gb. Also I find it a lot more useful to have a small number of folders ( no sub-folders of course) so I can quickly locate on my iPhone pictures from different categories such as family, autos, etc. None of this posed any problems for over a year until just recently. I am reading on other threads of many people with other iTunes syncing problems, and wonder now if it is the latest iTunes updates that are causing the problems? While I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes on my PC, I don't know how or if you can, install a previous version?
