BPS/IP Vs Hyperion

Hi,
   I am  working on a company's IT strategy, they are now using Hyperion as their budget and planning tool  and R/3 as their transaction system, I would like to find some documents or case study on BPS/IP  vs Hyperion, anybody can help?

Hey Pallavi,
SAP is continuing to invest in SEM-BCS and this will not change in the forseeable future. Please check Ryan's blog for details:
/people/ryan.leask/blog/2007/09/03/what-is-cpm-and-what-is-happening-with-sem-and-bi-integrated-planning
To quote the blog:
<i>"The last SEM product I wanted to discuss is SEM-BCS for consolidations. Obviously, BCS is a very functional product that SAP has developed over many years now, with many customers, for management and legal consolidations. Due to the breadth and distribution of SAP's customer base, it has been enhanced over time to successfully support the language and regulatory requirements for all regions of the world. While the BPC solution for consolidations has not yet had the chance to go through the same scale of implementations to get to the same degree of robustness as BCS, it does provide business users with flexible, decentralized administration and reporting. That does not make one product more capable than other, it's just that again, each product has its core strengths, and which one is right for you will depend on your specific scenario and requirements. However, you should feel totally comfortable investing in either solution today as both the consolidation capabilities of BPC and SEM-BCS are going to continue to be invested in by SAP. You may have seen the recent enhancements to SEM-BCS in Enhancement Package II, and more enhancements will be coming in future Enhancement Packages too. Of course the long term goal of SAP is to have one consolidations product, but the timing of when this will happen has not been finalized yet, which is why you will see SAP continue to be investing in both product lines. As I said, you should feel totally comfortable investing (or your prior investment) into either of these products."</i>

  • Hyperion Planning and Budgeting

    Hi all,
              I want to know about the hyperion planning and budgeting. Please guide me in it...

    Hi,
    you can do the same work in SEM-BPS as with Hyperion.Only difference being the integrity of the various modules.As well the integrity of SEM with BW is much more powerfull and versatile than Hyperion with BW.Only reason being its a third party software. Hyperion is another BI tool independant of SAP BW. It is not the same tool than the BEx analyzer used only for querying BW data
    Suggestions:
    BW data could be reported from Hyperion by connecting the system with the right adapter; the other way around isn't possible (querying hyperion data via BW) except by setting the hyperion DB as a DB/UD Connect source system and having remote IProviders on-top of it.
    If you want ,you'll synchronize BW metadata in Hyperion and then create a report in Hyperion which will retrieve data from a BW query released for OLE/DB for OLAP (query properties/extended)
    now you can access any BW query / cube / multiprovider in BW
    Remember that hyperion has been bought by Oracle some months ago...

  • Hyperion Planning vs SAP BW-BPS

    Does anyone have any thoughts on the major Pro's/Con's of Hyperion Planning vs. SAP BW-BPS? Specifically, performance and usability (e.g. user friendly interface) of BPS.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Charlotte

    Hi Charlotte,
    I think Performance of BW-BPS is based on many criteria where even BW design also matters, some of those areas like.
    1. Good Planned Design, Understand the Flow from Actual to Plan and Data required for Planning.
    2. Try to minimize number of USER EXIT
    3. Good ABAPer Can write better USER EXIT than Entry level so tuned EXIT Program will also improve performance.
    4. Follow the correct sequence of Planning
    There is GO LIVE Check documents for BW-BPS which will also mention check point for BW -BPS Performance . Follow those it's very helpful.
    Hope it helps,
    San.

  • Hyperion Essbase Error: 1002097 Unable to load database [PlanType1]

    The message that i see is Error: 1002097 Unable to load database [PlanType1]
    I have searched google and no luck. Anyone knows how to fix this or why we get this message. I don't want to restore from backup everytime.

  • Questions on BPS BAPI calls and PDF forms

    I will need to create a button on a BPS form and that button is supposed to call a BAPI.  One of the buttons will create a PDF of the form (using the contents of the form) and print said form to a 'default' printer.  The issue is that not all cFolder users will have an ECC logon name.  What am I to do in this instance?  Will I need to pass some type of credentials to the ECC backend in order to run this BAPI?
    Also, how can I get the contents of the form(s) to the BAPI?  I assume that I will need to create the PDF in the code of the BAPI.  Please be patient with me as this is my first time to work with cFolders and/or BPS.
    Regards,
    Davis

    Hi Davis,
    Well, if you are able to log on the BPS application (thus, a Web Interface if I'm not mistaken) then it means that some user is logged on the ABAP-side. It is either a "personal" user or a technical (common) user, that is used for anonymous access.
    You will certainly be able to track down this user with the SM04 transaction.
    You should be able to add a button to the BPS page. One idea would be to call an URL with an ICF service behind that will be able to process the parameters contained in this URL.
    It will be this very ICF service that will call the BAPI.
    Try these links

    at com.thortech.xl.adapterGlue.ScheduleItemEvents.adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.implementation(adpADDUSERTOADGROUP.java:49)
    This is definitely a Custom Adapter because OOTB Adapter name is adpADCSADDUSERTOGROUP and NOT adpADDUSERTOADGROUP
    So, it is your custom code and in the code you are passing incorrect value of the Active Directory Child process form...
    The correct name is UD_ADUSRC and the Group Name column name is UD_ADUSRC_GROUPNAME.
    While you are passing UD_AD_CHILD as the child process form and UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME as Group Name column name..
    Use OOTB Adapter... Correct these discrepancies... Your addition of group will work
    And since you are creating custom adapter, you need to be more careful and remain consistent throughout..
    Then if you want to use UD_AD_CHILD_GRP_NAME, use it everywhere consistently... Pass only this value in the adapter...
    And even in lookups, if any... Search everywhere... Keep things consistent... They will work... Because good news is that you are able to create user in AD via Java Code...
    And if any post is even slightly helpful, it is a good habit to mark it with helpful or correct ... And also mark the entire question as answered so that other people also are benefited.

  • BPS- PS Retraction Problems

    Hi,
    Am using standard FMs UPR_COST_PLAN_INIT and UPR_COST_PLAN_EXEC to retract Primary Cost plan data back to Project Systems.
    I have set up a sender structure called UPB_SND_COPS, pointing to receiver structure UPB_RET_COPS.  I have two lines in the dictionary structure section: /1SEM/_YS_KYFS_005ZARMPP03 and /1SEM/_YS_CHAS_005ZARMPP03 which relate to my planning area.
    QUESTION 1 - do I need to put anything in the offset, field length, field value fields?
    I have set up the transfer rules in transaction UPB_RULE.  This is where I have the problem.  I set up the transfers and ran the retraction and nothing was posted to R/3.  When debugging I saw that all of the fields I had set up rules for were blank when sent to R/3.
    If I go back and, instead of transfering from the sender to receiver structure, I hard code a value for all the fields in UPB_RULE, then it creates records in R/3.
    Has anyone encountered this problem?
    Does anyone have any decent documentation on this retractor? 
    Thanks,
    Tristan

    Hi ,

  • Authorization in BPS

    Hi Everybody.
    We have Multi-Planning Area ZMPA that consists of standard planning areas ZSPA1 (infoProvider ZICPA1) and ZSPA2 (infoProvider ZICPA2).
    ZICPA1 infoProvider has:
    - characteristics
         0BUS_AREA;
         0CALQUART1
         0CALYEAR;
         0CMMT_ITEM;
         0FM_AREA;
         0FUNDS_CTR.
    - a key figure 0OI_EXPENSE.
    ZICPA2 infoProvider has:
    - characteristics
         0BUS_AREA;
         0CALQUART1
         0CALYEAR;
         0CMMT_ITEM;
         0FM_AREA;
         ZFUNDCTR.
    - a key figure 0OI_EXPENSE.
    ZFUNDCTR is compounded with 0CALYEAR, 0CMMT_ITEM, 0FM_AREA. ZFUNDCTR has a navigation attribute 0FUNDS_CTR.
    Example of ZFUNDCTR master data:
    ZFUNDCTR   0CALYEAR    0CMMT_ITEM   0FM_AREA      ZFUNDCTR-0FUNDS_CTR
    01        Y1          A1           2700          01
    01        Y1          A2           2700          01
    02        Y1          A1           2700          02
    02        Y1          A3           2700          02
    03        Y1          A3           2700          03
    03        Y1          A4           2700          03
    Where Y1 - year value,
    A1..A4 - different values.
    0FUNDS_CTR is an authorization relevant characteristic. We have selected the 'Obsolete Concept with RSR Authorization Objects' and have created an authorization object ZOFUND for InfoProvider ZICPA1 only.
    The planning function ZMPAPF at the ZMPA area should copy data from ZSPA2 to ZSPA1 with formula like this:
    === begin ===============
    Operand {0FUNDS_CTR,ZFUNDCTR,Plng Area}
    DATA s_fund TYPE STRING.
    DATA V_0FUNDS TYPE 0FUNDS_CTR.
    DATA V_ZFUNDS TYPE ZFUNDCTR.
    foreach V_ZFUNDS in REFDATA.
      s_fund = V_ZFUNDS.
      V_0FUNDS = s_fund.
      {V_0FUNDS,#,Plng Area} = {#,V_ZFUNDS,ZSPA2} .
    endfor.
    === the end ==============
    1) A User has an authorization object ZOFUND with values '01' and '02' .
    But when he performs this planning function there becomes an error that he hasn't an Authorization. System can not to read data from {#,V_ZFUNDS,ZSPA2} because User hasn't an Authorization ZOFUND = #. But ZOFUND authorization have not been selected for ZICPA2 infoProvider.
    Have you any comments?
    2) We have given an authorization value '#' for this User to solve the problem. And now User can see all values in the list of authorization relevant variable in the BPS. I think it's not correct. For example he can see only '#', '01', '02' values for autorization type variable in the BEx Analyzer .
    SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0, Support Package 15.
    With best wishes, Alexander.

    Hi,
    To answer ur first question, as u didnt select infocube2 for authorization and the planning function level contains 0FUNDS_CTR, system cant read any record from infocube2 example {#,V_ZFUNDS,ZSPA2}.
    Now after giving # access, he can see all values for the variable but the planning function wont work because authorization is not checked for cube2.
    i hope u should give authorization check for cube2 also. and see giving only # value to cube2.
    i didnt understand what exactly is the planning function doing.
    i guess it is dealing only those records which have 0funds_ctr as # from cube2.
    u can try this.

  • Not able to see data in Hyperion Planning data forms.

    Hi ,
    I created Hyperion planning EPMA application and loaded data in to it. But I am unable to see data in my data forms? Please give me solution for this?

    Hi,
    Here there are 2 things, once your epma heirarchy is ready did you deploy it against your planning App ? and incase if you haven't deployed your planning application, then old outline would be existing in Essbase and if you load data for old outline it will still take into but when you deploy the database gets restructured and older data gets restructured/removed.
    Before going onto that level first check if your load data to essbase completed successfully. and did you load data for the combinations on dataform ? ? Try manually inputting a number through data form and submit and do a refresh to see if value comes up. ? Check your data form settings , if you have enables suppress missing rows/blocks.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    From your description, you want to achieve the following goal:
    Configure Exchange to filter the attachments if the size is over 10 MB and store it in a public folder, and then forward the email to Salesforce.
    Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that it can't be achieved. Exchange can filter messages with attachments, but it couldn't store these attachments on public folder automatically. Also, I don't see any transport rule can do it.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.

  • How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.

    HI,
    How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.i.e., how to find license limit in hyperion planning 11.1.2.1.
    In Essbase propreties, the system is showing maximum planning users could be 65535.
    what would be the number for concurrent scenario?
    Thanks
    Giri
    Edited by: Giriprasad on Jun 18, 2012 2:18 AM

    The number of users would be based on your license agreement with Oracle, the system is not aware of your license agreement so it is up to you to stick to it.
