BPC Transports...

BPC Gurus,
Do we have to activate ApShell in the target system before starting the transport? I have gone through the transport whitepaper but am still not sure about the steps to follow for transport request process. What are the prep activities in the target system before starting the stransport? I would really appreciate if one could give me idea about the same.
thanks.

Hi,
You don't need appshell activated in the target system. All transportation prerequisits are mentioned in this guide https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000088146&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&

BPC Transport - variation in dimension tech name.

Hi,
After transporting the appset to Qa it is observed that one of the dimension ENTITY the technical name is different from Dev and hence the transport failed with RC 8 in Qa with error "InfoObject /CPMB/XXXXXX does not exist in version A",
InfoObject /CPMB/XXXXXX not found, Failed to create dimension attribute.
This appset is already available in target system and we are transporting the same into Qa.
Want to understand how come the technical name would be different from Dev to Qa? if at all new dimension is created by deleting the existing dimension then when we collect the appset in TR then all the new objects have to be moved to Qa and should replace the older one or add a new one - iam not sure how does it happen in BPC.
All the necessary transport rules have been followed.
does some one faced this issue?
Regards

Hi,
If you recreate the dimension then the transport would fail with the error return code == 8. This has been fixed in SP04. The note which you specified address this issue (Note: 1357520).
Probably you may try something like this:
If you are doing the transport to Dev system if the Dimension already exists on the Dev system. The probable solution could be to this is to delete the dimension from the Dev and then do the Transportation. But deleting the Dimension would affect the cube data.So before deleting the dim its better if you take the backup of the cube data and the once the Transportation is completed , then you can reload or import the data into the cube through data manager. And if the Import fails then please run the UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT with just Activate Appset option. You may try this.
Also if you have enabled the Audit Activity then you may try checking the system reports and see if someone might have worked on the dimension which is in question.
Thanks and regards

Error with BPC transport

Hi All,
We encounter an error transporting BPC dimensions. The error is raised when importing into the target system. All dimensions are imported fine, except the 10 dimensions that are use in one specific model.
Error in Admin module or a component used by Admin module
Failed to update dimension /CPMB/PMD0348, source prefix: PM, target prefix PM.
Failed to import entity Dimension, ID:D_DATASRC
Any ideas on this?
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
Do you know what that transport is changing in target Model/Dimensions?
Can you also run Data Checker in the target system to see if there are any issues with he Model/Dimensions?

Data missing in QA after BPC transport

Hi,
I have transported the Appset, the request transported successfull to QA from Dev with RC =0.
however ceratin Input schedules, reports, Scripts are not visible in BPC QA. are we missing something?
CV in Action Pane in QA says 'more' 'more'
Do I have to make a copy of APSHELL in QA before I do the Appset transport for the first time?
Please help

No, you only need to configure it once and transport it throughout the landscape. If you go to the class CL_UJT_TRANSPORTS_MGR and look at the UPDATE_CHG_TABLE method, if there the below method call is on line 30, then you are safe. Again, these TLOGOs are now handled by the framework, so it will add them in the table if they do not exist in the target system during import.
lt_mandatory_tlogo = do_transports_dao->get_mandatory_tlogo( ).
If you do not see this line of code, then I would say they DO need to be in the table in the target system. It really depends on what SP level you are at.

BPC Transports vs backup/restore

BPC Gurus:
We have implemented BPC just a few months ago and are new to it. Have a question for all experts on the appset code migration.
Need to know the best practices around the code migration from dev to qa and hence production.
I see two options.
Transports and backup/recovery but need help in understanding what is the proper and best strategy.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
BPC for MS uses the backup and restore mechanism for this purpose. You need to login to the server system and then go to the BPC server manager. You need to use the backup tool to backup an application set. This will save the backup files on the server machine. Then you can copy these files to the destination server, and run the restore tool to restore the appset.
Hope this helps.

Hi Ravi,
Transporting data manager files in file server is not Supported in NW 7.0 to my knowladge.
Using transaction code SM30
UJT_TRANS_CHG
if Subobject
is not set D Changes for the Sub object will not be transported.
In my experience QA build is done when Build reaches a stable state in Dev where no changes done in the DataModel, from there on any changes in the front end Input Schedules or Report Template in moved manually between the file servers as application names remain the same.Hope it helps.

BPC Transport Too many characteristics (024) are assigned to dimension

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing BPC Consolidation for NetWeaver 7.5, and we're facing the following situation:
Too many characteristics (024) are assigned to dimension /CPMB/Q6IW0EVD
Diagnosis
Too many characteristics are assigned to the given dimension.
For a "normal" InfoCube, the database table to be created for a dimension may contain a maximum of 249 fields. This means that no more than 248 characteristics may be assigned.
However, if the property "DIMIDs One-to-One" is set, a unique index on the characteristics of the dimension is created. In this case each dimension may not contain more than 16 characteristics.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sheldon,
Thanks for answering my question.
I already ran that full optimization you talked about but i dont see some changes in BW, what i can see is the shadow cube that the full optimization creates but i cant see how the full optimization solves that bunching of too many BPC dimensions on one BW cube dimension afterwards.
The fact is that when the transport order generated by BPC transaction UJBPCTR is imported into the Productive environment the error still raising, with the same description:
u201CToo many characteristics (024) are assigned to dimensionu201D
Could you help me by telling me how full optimization solves that dimension bunching? Another question is Why does the error appear until the transport order is imported and not when you are working in development?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Abraham Mendez.

BPC transport error: Import still running or UJT_TRANS_OBJ version P

Hello,
We are having some issues, trying to transport an appset.
First of all we make sure that all the entries in table ujt_transport_chg are setting to "D". then we Transport a customizing order with these content. After that we check the content in target system, and it is ok.
The execution method make us fails. The msg nº is UJT_EXCEPTION030: "Import still running or UJT_TRANS_OBJ version 'P' for AppSet is filled".
Now in the ujt_transport_chg isn't a record for the appset.
Each time we transport, the same error came across.
Thanks

Hi Gares,
Thanks for your response.
Before transporting BPC AppSet, we check this table in QA and 2 records are missings comparing with Des. APPM and ASET.
We transport all the entries of the table in Des into QA system, and check it again. Table in both systems have the same records.
After that, we create a transport via UJBPCTR and import into QA. This takes more than 30 minutes and finaly fails with the mentioned error.
We check again the table in QA and APPM, ASET records have been deleted.
Thanks.

BPC transport

Thanks for all information.
When I did the transports, I have seen that dimension members were not transported and I was required to recreate it allover.
After doing the first transport, when I do the transport for 2nd time the whole appset is copied? Does that empty the existing dimension members or transaction data?
If so what is the precaution to be taken, while doing transport of second time.
Appreciate inputs..

Hi,
In SAP BPC NW 7.0 when we transport the Full Appset, it does not transport Master & Transaction Data. Usually Transaction data in Production Environments will always be different from Dev/Test environment. So it need not be transported. When a transport is imported, system checks table UJT_TRANS_CHG (t.code SM30) in the target system. It does not transport this relevant configuration if the entry is set to PRODUCTION. It only imports the configuration for entries set to DEVELOPMENT.
When we transport Script logics and Business Rules, we should be careful that the Master Data is in Sync between Development, Testing and Production environments. Because, Logic files/Rules will not work if the hardcoded Dimension Members are not available or different in Production.
Please refer SAP's 'Operations Guide SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 7.0 version for SAP NetWeaver' which is available on Service Market Place. This document is very clear and detailed on Transport Management and will clarify most of your queries.

BPC Transports for the first time

Hello,
I am planning to transport my appset for the very first time. I need your guidance on the following:
1) Do I use Backup & Restore or UJBPCTR method? Pros and Cons?
2) Is the process to collect a transport in UJBPCTR once I am complete with the design and ready to move to QA? Will that capture all the changes if I do this? Also, should the appset be offline when I do this?
3) How do I migrate the SAP transports (how-tos on Destination AP etc) across landscapes? I cannot collect them as transports. Should I request BASIS to import into each landscape?
4) Do I need my appset to be transported before transporting my BADIs or it does not really matter?
5) I have heard few issues abt BPFs during transports. Is there any precaution I need to take?
I am on BPC 7.5NW SP04.
Thanks for your help and inputs.

1) Do I use Backup & Restore or UJBPCTR method? Pros and Cons?
I would not suggest to use backup/restore for transporting your appset through the landscape. Use the UJBPCTR to create your transport request and allow the transports framework to import your appset into other systems.
2) Is the process to collect a transport in UJBPCTR once I am complete with the design and ready to move to QA? Will that capture all the changes if I do this? Also, should the appset be offline when I do this?
Yes, you should create the transport request using UJBPCTR only when you are ready to transport the appset to other systems. When you run UJBPCTR, it will load metadata records into a shadow table, and this will be a snapshot of the appset at that time. So if you modify the appset after creating the request, these changes will not be reflected in the request. Yes, the appset needs to be offline to create the request.
3) How do I migrate the SAP transports (how-tos on Destination AP etc) across landscapes? I cannot collect them as transports. Should I request BASIS to import into each landscape?
Any transports associated with how-to guides should be imported and promoted to other systems via your basis people.
4) Do I need my appset to be transported before transporting my BADIs or it does not really matter?
The order does not matter. I would suggest that your badis be transported first, as this makes sense as something is dependent on them. But if you were to transport the AppSet first, it will not fail due to missing BAdIs, so again, it doesn't really matter.
5) I have heard few issues abt BPFs during transports. Is there any precaution I need to take?Not sure what you are referring to here. I believe only the templates are transported, and not the instances, and I have not heard any issues around this yet.

How to collect the BPC parameters into a transport

Hi All
We are in process of transporting out environment for the first time. How are we going to collect all the entries of the BPC parameters in a transport request.
I want to collect all the entries of the UJ0_PARAM_APP table to a transport request. is this we need to do or It has to be manually done when the system is installed in higher environments.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance
AK

Hi AK,
First of all, not all BPC parameters are transportable. Main reason is that they don't always have to have same value across the landscape. For example, you might want having LOG and STATS set to ON in Dev, but not in Prod. Another reason is that some of them will be generated during first write-back.
Most of the parameters are included in transport if you check Configuration check mark in BPC transport collection.
If you still have some parameters that didn't come over you can manually include them in the transport as Type "Table Entry".

Gersh

Transport of Security objects in BPC 7.5NW

As a part of NW BPC transports, changed the entries in table UJT_TRANS_CHG. For the 1st transport (from DEV to QA)wanted to transport ALL objects including Security and Teams. So, selected 'Development' for ALL objects under this table.
After the transport collection via tcode UJBPCTR and importing into QA, found that 'Users', 'Teams' and 'Task Profiles' did NOT transport. 'Member Access Profiles' did transport to QA.
I expected 'Users', 'Teams' and 'Task Profiles' also to be transported. We are on SAP BPC 7.5NW, SP4.
Am I missing something here ?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
we had the same problem and didn't know if Security objects could be transported, but we found the BPC User Mass Management Tool.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/d0cdbccf-0def-2d10-298d-f4223de9a6ed&overridelayout=true
This could help you to export the security objects in DEV and import the objects in PRD.
The transports you need for the ZUJE_MASS_USER_MGMT Programm you found on page 46 in the document mentioned above.
Please let me know if we could help you.

BPC 7.5 NW - BPF is not transported correctly.

Dear All,
Last week we generate BPC transport via UJBPCTR t-code, all changes transported to quality and production server successfully, only BPF we have problem. This transport not affected on some BPF and name come with capital letter. Please give your suggestions. Really I need your help.
Anar Samadzade

Hi,
Yes, we have successfully transported from Dev to Quality. After transports, however we faced issues when we tried to modify the BPFs in the quality system. It was giving 'dump' error.
It got resolved after checking with SAP supoprt.
To answer your Q, yes they can be trasnported from one environment to another
Thanks

BPC7.5 SP06 Transport

Hello,
We were told by SAP representative that in BPC 7.5, we can do a selective transport - like we can manually select the objects in an appset to be transported. When checked the transport program/Tcode in BPC 7.50 - we dont find that option.
Can someone confirm if we can selectively transport objects from an APPSET.
Edited by: BI_14 on Apr 6, 2011 2:32 AM

Hi,
As the transport in SAP BPC is realized through the copy of the whole AppSet, SAP has set the ability to restrict the transport of certain objects through their changeability.
The changeability for SAP BPC objects is maintained through the table UJT_TRANS_CHG (accessible through transaction SE16) but not from tcode UJBPCTR.
There are two levels of changeability:
D (Development): The objects whose changeability is set to D can be transported from one environment to the other using the BPC transport tools. Objects in non productive environment are usually set to D, unless for specific cases (exclude a specific a type of object from a transport).
P (Production): Objects whose changeability is set to P cannot be transported and cannot be modified. This is usually the case for productive environments. However SAP provides the possibility to set specific types of objects changeability to D in a productive environment in order to allow their modification on the production system if needed.
Hope it helps...
regards,
Raju
