BPC v10 for Microsoft Platform Training

Good Morning!
We are going to be upgrading to BPC v10 for the Microsoft Platform and I could use some suggestions to help find an appropriate training course on reporting/planning/dashboards in the new version.
When I've looked up training it appears to be for netweaver version.  I believe there should be resources available for the microsoft version (hopefully soon), but I'm not quite seeing what I am looking for.
Any help / suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hi Sheryl
Glad to hear you are getting assistance. Another thing to consider - and this really depends on your learning style - is the SAP Learning Hub (Customer Edition). It is an annual subscription to most SAP Learning Content, including all courses for the equivalent of a 3-5 course. You would get all the BPC* courses (and heaps more).
If you are the type of learning who can self teach and have access to a system at work, then it might be a way for you to access training that is not scheduled in your location. If you prefer classroom training then you might need to look to see if you can travel (perhaps the course is scheduled somewhere else).

  • BPC for Microsoft platform vis-a-vis BPC for Netweaver

    Hi,
    What are the key differences (apart from platform) between BPC for SAP Netweaver & BPC for Microsoft platform? BPC 7.0 is integrated with Outlooksoft whereas BPC (based on Netweaver 7.5) needs Business Object. Is this understanding correct?
    Which is a more a stable version? Appreciate if related URLs/ OSS Notes are shared.
    Thanks for your help.

    From functionalities point of view are justfew slight sifferences between M and NW version of SAP BPC.
    Just into background is the difference that M version is using just Microsoft technologies:
    .NET Application Server developed into .NET technologies
    OLAP database using SSAS from Microsoft
    Relational Database using SQL Server database
    and NW version is using standard SAP technologies:
    ABAP application server
    OLAP datbase - part of BW
    Relational Database - any database supported by NW
    Regarding the performances between the two versions I will say it is depending by number of users and volume of data but in general are not big differences. If the design of application is done correct following the Best Practices documentantion I think the performances are more anlless the same.
    In any case I don't see any reason to have both version of SAP BPC M and NW version.
    You have to decide the right version function by IT requirements and future developments using NW or Microsoft technologies.
    But it doesn't make sense to have BPC M and BPC NW for the same customer.
    I hope this will help you.

  • SAP BPC 7.0 - Microsoft Platform - SP Upgrade Question

    Hi Experts,
    I was tasked to upgrade the SP of our client's SAP BPC 7.0 -Microsoft Platform System from Release 7.0.116 (SP07) to SP09. Details are below
    Prod System:
    Multi Server : 2 Servers
    Application Server:
    Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Ed SP2 32-Bit
    IIS Web Server
    SAP BPC 7.0 Release 7.0.116
    Database Server:
    Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 64-Bit
    MS SQL 2008 64-Bit
    My question, since Server Manager Version 7.0.116 is equal to SP07, do i need to download SP08 and SP09, and then apply SP08, and the underlying patch on top of SP08, then SP09, or can i just simply download only SP09 and then install it only in our App Server, since it was mention in the Upgrade Guide that SP of SAP BPC are cumulative. And if there are any configuration settings that i need to take unto consideration? I'm new to this one since I'm accustomed of SP Upgrade in SAP ECC Systems in TxCode SPAM.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    After performing the steps Nilanjan suggested you may want to look at the Post-Installation Steps recommended by SAP. They are as below:
    Post-Installation Steps
    1. If you already have an application set in your previous version, do the following:
    a) After installing this support package, update existing reports by choosing Publish Report on the Web Administration page.
    b) If you have already enabled Insight, update existing reports by choosing Build Report on the Insight Dashboard page.
    c) To apply fixes available for business rules, choose Modify Application within the Administration Console. Do not select options related to desired application.
    2. This support package contains an appset parameter called RETRIEVE_ON_OFFLINE. To restrict data retrieval while an application set is unavailable, access the Appset Parameter page within Web Administration, then add a key named RETRIEVE_ON_OFFLINE with one of the following values:
    1, which allows retrieval or data export while the application set is unavailable.
    0, which prevents retrieval or data export while the application set is unavailable.
    Log off and then logon to BPC for Office if the system offline message displays after setting the application set to Available. This downloads the dimension cache file if a dimension member or structure has changed while the system was offline.
    3. We recommend changing the syntax of dimension formulas related to CSS message [IM 1249006] Data Integrity Issue with Account dimension / 4 Hierarchies as follows:
    a) Use [%dimension%].[%current hierarchy%].CurrentMember. Level.Ordinal>0 instead of [%dimension%].[%the other hierarchy%].[All %dimension%.%the other hierarchy%] in dimension formulas to check the status of the current view of the current hierarchy because the current member may have been changed as a member of another hierarchy within multiple hierarchy dimensions.
    b) Use 0 (zero) instead of NULL in IIF statements when the member from the current view does not match the condition of the IIF statement, as NULL may return an incorrect value. For example, if the hierarchy is the third hierarchy, #iif([Account].[H3].CurrentMember.Level.Ordinal>0,%Arg%, 0).
    4. To run the Management Console in multiple server environments, change Authentication and Access Control of the ManagementConsole virtual directory in IIS from Integrated Windows Authentication to Basic Authentication. You can find the virtual directory on the Application server in the Directory Security tab of the virtual directory's property in IIS.
    Hope this helps.

  • Installing SAP BPC 7.0 FOR MICROSOFT on VM (60 GB) Disk Space- Test

    All,
           We are on SAP BPC 5.0 Sp10 and we are planning to upgrade SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft in next year. We have one VM server which has 60 GB Disk. We are wondering that can we install SAP BPC 7.0 on it.
    As per SAP installation guide , it is clearly mentioned that we should have 200GB Space to install it. Installation guide talks about real time system since we are building up a test system for a small team which consists of only 6 people. 
    Any body have installed SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft this way  or Can any body verify it will installed and work successfully ?
    Also share, what is the minimum disk space requirement to install SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft.
    Thanks,
    Saquib Khan

    SAquib,
    Not sure where you are getting the 200 gig requirements, but on the Microsoft install guide, it states less than that.  See section 3 of the install guide (check on your server requirements).  I have attached the link for your convenience.
    https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000552952009E/SAP_BPC_70_SP04_M_Install.pdf
    As for minimum, I am not sure any qualified installer will quote you a number without going through all of the requirements..  Typically, they would assess the requirements and then come up with a "recommended" space amount and number of servers.  This would factor into number of users, number of applications/appsets, data volume, page caching, planning or consolidations (or both), etc.
    After sitting through a few 7.0 Microsoft installations, I think 60 gigs VM should be more than sufficient to be installed for "testing" purpose.  As stated above, some folks have been use single server 20 gig vm partition for their "sandbox".  Keep in mind that the performance will be a little bit slower than install on actual server so any bench mark that you're trying to assess may be a little bit off.  In addition, when upgrading from 5.1 to 7.0M make sure to add the property "ISBEGINNING" with value of 10 to the Time Dimension.
    As for deciding whether to go with NW or MS, I think the deciding factor would be data volume, and number dimensions that you would need to maintain on your appset, and desire to have integration with SAP components.

  • BCP Microsoft Platform integration with Solution Manager

    Hi
    Is it possible to integrate BPC Microsoft platform 7.0 and 7.5 with Solution Manager?
    If so how?  Is there documentation available explaining the process?

    Hi Johan,
    There is some level of integration available with Solution Manager.  To set up your system for Diagnostics, refer to "End-to-End Root Cause Analysis System Landscape Setup Guide", which is available on Service Marketplace at [https://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000074392009E|https://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000074392009E], and follow the chapters that apply to Planning and Consolidation.

  • New MS BPC V10 implementation - migrate user rights, reports, etc

    Hi all,
    I am new on BPC but had have already been involved on some other SAP implementations such as BO.
    We are trying to move our BPC V10 Microsoft infrastructure from the Partner (who is supporting it) Domain Controller to ours. We decided to start from a new implementation of the BPC server then migrate the environment/models and files thanks to the server manager.
    The current BPC is using IPS (with LDAP authentication) as a console management to create users then import them in BPC admin. We would like to simply configure our new BPC implementation with AD authentication straight in BPC without using IPS.
    My question is:
    Do you think it will be safe to do it that way?
    Do you think there could be an issue regarding the user ownership of reports, user right configuration, etc?
    Please any advise would be very helpful.
    And Thank in advance,
    Jawad

    Hi Jawad,
    I don't know IPS but I can give you some answer about BPC.
    " regarding the user ownership of reports" BPC give you just the possibility to create bpf or custom menu where you can put links for specific reports but a smart user can open a report directly from menu "open dynamic template" and execute it.
    You can give rights through security e.g. giving to one user the access only for one or some entities, or limiting other dimensions so even if he's able to open a reports not present in his bpf he cannot run it for oter entities or dimension values different from his security rights.
    For packages you can insert some specific package in the team folder in this case only member of the team are able to see and execute this package.
    Putting packages in company will give the possibility to all the teams/users that have the rights to execute packages to see and launch every package.
    There is only a limit for the security, you cannot combine different dimension values to have specific rights, e.g. if you give rights for entity "A" and category "X", and also for Entity "B" and category "Y" you will not give the possibility to write only in category "X" when the user set entity "A", etc. but he will be able to use indiferently both categories and entities.

  • Where can I get window os 2003 for unity 5.0(1) for MCS7835I1 platform?

    Dear All,
    I didn't receive any DVD on window os 2003 for unity 5.0(1) for MCS7835I1 platform for my purchase.
    I only have got the IP Telephony OS 2003.1.1 which stated in the document that it is not for Unity.
    So I tried to open case to TAC but they asked us to look from Microsoft but I believed that normal window os will not be able to install on MCS sever, am I right? So where actually can I look for this window os?
    Thanks in advance
    Jarunee

    Hi Jarunee,
    You have 2 options:
    1) You purchased the MCS-7835-I1-ECS1, I would expect this one to come with the platform configuration disk (PCD). If you did not get this you will need to contact customer service as outline in this document
    2) You purchased another flavor of this server model such as MCS-7835-I1-IPC1 or directly from IBM. This will not come with the PCD. For this you will not get a PCD and you will need to supply the operating system yourself.
    The installation guide covers both scenarios to set up Unity either with PCD or self supplied OS.

Maybe you are looking for
