Client Strategy questions with BPS in mind

We are implementing BW and BPS.
The system landscape in my project has been planned to have different client numbers and different logical systems for each environment for BW and Source Systems (Dev, Quality and Production).
With BPS I am foreseeing issues when transporting the retraction structures, once they carry the client number (transaction UPB_STRUCT)
I could not find a conversion table for this case (like we have for BW - RSLOGSYSMAP).
And in this case (transaction UPB_STRUCT) the objects will carry the client number + planning area name (/1SEM/_YS_CHAS_400ZEXP0001).
1. So I conclude that the client number HAS to be the same in all BW environments (Dev, Quality and Production). Could you confirm this?
There are configurations for public sector retraction, where the logical system name is used to map the queries into the Funds Management BCS fields. (SPRO -> Define field assignments for plan data transfer from BW)
2. Given this configuration mentioned, is it REQUIRED to have the same logical system name in all BW environments?
Ive seen a presentation from SAP (SAP BW System Landscape Strategies / Mayer) with certain recommendations like the ones found in the OSS note 184447:
     You thus should have the following over all system landscape
BD(BW1CLNT100)->BC(BW1CLNT100)-> BP(BW1CLNT100)
   ||                  ||                  ||
   ||                  ||                  ||
OD(QS1CLNT300)->OC(QS1CLNT300)-> OP(QS1CLNT300)
That presentation also mentioned thats possible to have multiple Logical System names for BW in multiple environments.
Please give me your thoughts having in mind BW-BPS as part of the implementation:
3.     Should we have SAME Client number and SAME Logical system name in all environments for BW?
4.     I dont see any impact for source system perspective with logical names, do you?
5.     If you tell me that BW can handle different Logical System names, could you tell me where to configure to have BPS objects and retraction query mappings pointing to the right logical systems and client numbers the transport process (equivalent to what RSLOGSYSMAP does for source systems).
Thanks

Hello Alex,
I strongly recommend to have identical client numbers in your landscape (especially if you still have the choice). BW handles only one client anyway and there is no benefit of having different client numbers.
One client number will take care of BPS issues and you can hardcode structures and ABAP to the client number. Trust me it will make your life easier down the road.
BPS itself does not depend on the logical system name. If there are connecting applications, they have to take care of the mapping like BW does. But this depends on the application.

Authorization issue in BPS

Hi guys,
I've the authorization issue in a BPS application, where a user can upload a flatfile into a BPS-cube, but only when I select in the authorization object S_RS_AUTH 0BI_ALL.
Without selecting 0BI_ALL (another analysis authorization) yields to the message, that the user has not enough authorization...
Now the user gets access to data in the BW reporting to all the organizational marks like the organization unit (0ORGUNIT).
How is it possible to design the authorizations / analysis authorization, that the same user can upload data via flatfile, but gets only access to transaction data for organizational data which he should see???
How should the analysis authorization should be designed? Has it something to do with the techn. char. like 0TCAACTVT?
THX in advance!
Clemens

Hi,
Have you tried creating Authorization Variable for organizational Unit ?
This will give restricted access to data based on the authorization assigned .
Thanks

'How to..use reporting variables in BPS' syntax issue

Hi,
I am implementing the white paper 'How to...use reporting variables in BW-BPS' and I am getting a syntax error in the include YBW_BPS_VAR_READ. The error indicates 'Statement is not accessible' for my line:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM ybw_bps_var_map
ybw_bps_var_map being my transparent table as described in the white paper.
I have never seen such a syntax error, has anyone had the same issue? My code is the one in the white paper.
Thanks for any help.
David

Hi David,
I have the coding up and running. I have not seen this error before and don't know how to resolve it. If you cut&paste it from the PDF, then maybe some special characters got pasted into the ABAP editor. Try to delete the line and type it in manually.

BPS Retraction Issue

Hello Experts,
We are implementing IP for Cost Center Planning and we are using BPS for Data Retraction. Our requirement is to retract the data on monthly basis to R/3 system. We are facing a strange issue here. In parameter group setting we are using Delta Mode as 0 u2013 Delta update. But when we retract the data for given month, in R/3 data for particular month is being retracted properly but data for rest of the months is being cleared. E.g we have following data in R/3 and we are in the month of Feb And we are retracting data for Mar which has value of 150
Jan u2013 100
Feb u2013 150
Mar u2013 200
April - 250
After retraction we have following values in R/3
Jan u2013
Feb u2013
Mar u2013 150
April u2013
Any input regarding this is appreciated !
- Prawin !

Is the month restricted to march in the planning level/package?? Check the characteristic selections.

Issue in BPS Variables....Please anybody reply...this is really urgent(SOS)

<b>Hi dear friends, This is really a urgent problem and crucial Please anybody can share their ideas or atleast some inputs/ clues to clear the cobwebs in my understanding.</b>
I am facing problem in BPS Variables.
I created the variables 1.zqbs- employee responsible --->Userentry/default value.
2. zconpar-- contact partner----
> Replacement type is user exit(Function Module)
3. zconpar-- contact partner----
> Replacement type is user exit(Function Module)
ZCONPAR: I am using the zqbs, planing area, characterstic name as a import parameters and i am exporting the output value to 0BP_ACTIVIT through zconpar
ZCONPER: I am using the zqbs, planing area, characterstic name as a import parameters and i am exporting the output value to 0BP_CONTPER through the zconper.
These two variable info objects are calling in the planning layout lead column.
based on contact partner it should display contact persons for the contact persons we are applying the conditions(bp_reltype = bur001,bp_reldir = 2) to filter the contact persons.
In my case i am getting 3 values for the contact partner like 1000, 2000, 3000.
i am getting 2 values for the contact persons if i run the variables individual.
note: if i run BPS0 its going into loop and displaying multiple data means for 1 contact partner its applying all contact persons. at final it showing records like contact persons X contact partners means it showing more unvalid records.
how to avoid this situation.
contact partner contact person bp_reltype bp_reldir
1000 xxxx bur001 2
2000 yyy bur002 2
3000 zzz bur001 2
it should display like this
1000 xxx
2000
3000 yyy
but it showing
1000 xxx
1000 yyy
1000 zzz
2000 xxx
2000 yyy
2000 zzz
3000 xxx
3000 yyy
3000 zzz
Please anybody who have even a vague idea of solution can respond to this immediately.----SOS----
Even your smallest hint is greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
your friend Bharath.

Thanks for the reply and I would trying these consistency check out again as a background job but I have already done these checks and have not been able to find any inconsistencies in the planning area or the master planning object structure. the problem is this as I have put in the SAP message:
"We have generated CVCs from a text file using the load work list functionality Due to some internal formatting issues few erroneous CVC were generated. On going through the concerned notes we have come to the conclusion that we would have to delete the erroneous CVC and recreate new CVC.
The issue that we are facing is that we are not being able to delete the erroneous CVC from the MPOS as they are not visible in the display mode. On other hand we do see the erroneous CVC in the planning book, which is not at all understandable because if there are no CVC then why are we seeing them in the planning book."
Please let me know if this is a problem that has been faced by anybody in SCM 5.0
Thanks

Hi I want all the issues that are related to FI , HR & BPS

Hi friends,
I want all the issues related to FI, HR & BPS(SEM)
I will assign good points
Thanks in advance,
Ravi Alakuntla.

Hi,
Sine the records are posted to FI/CO, the records in CATSDB will be with the status '30' appropved. Now if you want to change the hours recorded, change the same, so that the status changes as 'Change after approval' and release the same and transfer it to FI/CO again.
The records in the FI/CO interface tables will be overwritten.
Thanks & Regards, Swapnil Mishra

Issue with authorizations for BPS

Hi Experts,
There was an issue with authorizations for BPS. We have a large number of agents that need to enter plan data via a layout. In order to control the necessary authorizations, we would like to filter via something similar to a user exit using a function module in order to avoid having to define authorization objects for each of the agents who have access to the systems. Right now, we are not sure if there is user exit concept available as it is for BW variables. Any body experienced similar issue may share their experience.
Regards,
Ankit

Hi,
In BPS, you can use user specific variables or you can set up a Variable of type exit. You can also have a variable of type authorization which uses the security / authorization of the BW system.
Hope it helps...
Cheers,
Tanish

BW BPS support issues

Hi all,
Am very new to BW BPS. Please give me some issues which we generally face in support project when we work in BW BPS project.
and also provide me step by step method, how to start working with BW BPS. I have searched in forums but those are not clear. Plz tell me clearly step by step.
Thanks,
Jack

Hello Jack,
there's a lot of information available. If you are serious about it, my #1 recommendation would be to get proper training. You can do it online (http://service.sap.com/rkt -> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Learning Maps for Consultants) or in class room (http://www.sap.com/asia/services/education/index.epx -> Courses TBW45 or BW370).
Or get a book like http://www.sap-press.com/products/Business-Planning-with-SAP-SEM.html

BPS modelling issues

Hi ,
i am having a set of doubts can any one clarify me pls.
1. can partioning of transaction cubes improves the performance in bps layouts.
2. can we refer 3 cubes actual data at once in a distribute function and populate the fourth cube using multi planning areas.
3. performance wise how much maximum number of records can we store in a transactional cube.( each record having 20 columns)
4. how to handle buffer shortage issues whice using bps function over huge volume of data.
Thanks for all of your great efforts.
Ram

To add another perspective:
1. Physical partitioning might improve BW read time but bear in mind the BW read is likely a small part of your overall BPS execution time (for example in our system BW read is only 5-10% of total execution time) so don't assume that shaving a small percentage off the read time is necessarily going to have noticable impact on BPS performance.
2. It depends - definitely possible to use a different cube for reference data in a distribution, but dist functions tend to need quite specific identification of reference data so if it is truly spread amongst three cubes may not be straightforward. You can probably get around it but might need to be creative though echo Mary's question about need to refer to 3 cubes at the same time for a single function.
3. No of records in the cube should not matter hugely, though BW read time will degenerate as it gets very large. What is absolutely critical is minimising the number of records you are pulling into the BPS buffer. To give an example on our system we have 10 million records in transactional cube but users generally working with 10-30,000 records and response time for calling up layouts on the web and executing functions generally around 5 to 15 seconds.
4. Simple answer is don't go anywhere near BPS buffer limit, not only do you get ABAP dumps when you exceed it which is very irritating I think everything gets exponentially slower as you approach memory limits (just my opinion from experience). Every design is different but my rule of thumb assuming a reasonable number of characteristics & KFs would be: much over 50,000 records will likely be getting slow for users so think about running functions in the background; much over 250,000 <b>might</b> be risk of memory problems so question whether you really need to do this in BPS - if you do then consider breaking data down into smaller sections for processing either by design of your functions and selections or using a program to help break it up like UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP.

BPS Layout / planning level / characteristic relationship issue

Hi ,
I have a design question.
I have a characteristic relationship for 0CALMONTH(Cal. Year/Month) The below are derived attributes
Calendar month
Quarter
Cal. Year/Quarter
Calendar year
Fiscal year/period
Posting period
I am not using 0CALMONTH in my level/layout.
Question1 : When I save the layout by changing the key figure, the system creates another record with what ever the changes perfectly but it is not copying all the characteristics that were in the original line. One example of this issue is for characteristic relationship object.
Question2 : I do have the problem with other characteristics that NOT in the level since I am not using it but when I make a change for key figure in the layout and save it , it is not copying to the new line with all the characteristics.
Can I design this way? If yes why the values are not copied over to the new line? Any user exits where I can check / debug during the layout save?
I do not have any problem when I use standard BPS copy function, have these problems during the layout save.
Thank you for looking into it , appreciate any inputs......
Raju

Thank you Mayank. Very helpful/excellent. I think I am very clear/ all set , I will solve some of them by using derived charaterstic relationships.
One more important questions : How can We provide a solution where We can not use a particular characterstics at level because of the agrregation behavior of the layout and can not be derived ? but while We save the layout We need to get those characterstics like copy function does copy all the characterstics even if they are not in the level.
Is this make sense ? may not be valid question ? any thoughts ?
Appreciate your help.

BW-BPS Variable Selection Screen Issue

We currently use BW-BPS as our planning tool with the web-based interface. One of our planning web screens includes a cost center variable with the user selection configured as Input Field with Input Help. This allows the user to select the cost center using search parameters in a pop-up screen. I recently created a new web interface by copying the existing one and making minor changes. After generating it, the new interface works as planned, however the data in the cost center search pop-up box is garbled.
Since the original screen works fine, I theorized that the act of generating the interface caused the issue. I confirmed this by generating the original web screen without making any changes and it saw that it also has garbled pop-up search data. I then changed the setting from Input Field with Input Help to Dropdown Box and re-generated. This worked normally therefore the issue seems to specific to generating the Input Field with Input Help settings.
Are there any notes out there to correct this generation issue? We are currently on the following:
SAP_BASIS - 700 - 0025
SAP_ABA - 700 - 0025
PI_BASIS - 2006_1_700 - 0015
ST-PI - 2008_1_700 - 0004
SAP_BW - 700 - 0027
FINBASIS - 600 - 0020
SEM-BW - 600 - 0020
BI_CONT - 703 - 0016

Hi,
I got your point.When you open that query in Analyzer,it shows the variable screen and the variable is shown as a interval variable.But if you open the same query in Web Analyzer,the variable shown as single value variable.
This looks little weird because both Web and BEx Analyzer uses the same Query.Can you execute the query in RSRT Tcode and check how the variable shown(whether as a Single or interval variable).
And also check the variable definition.Try to create a new variable with the same settings and check the behavior.

BPS Planning Layout - Data Column issues

My basic question is: is it possible to configure a characteristic in the data column such that it contains a range of values, instead of just a single value. We have requirements to produce a series of comparison columns for things such as "Year-to-Date" (sum of a range of fiscal periods), "Prior 12 Months" (again, sum of a range of periods), and so forth. Unfortunately, the BPS layout configuration of data columns only allows you to specify a single characteristic value. If you configure it with a variable that contains the range, the system only uses the LOW value of the range, not the full range. The ability to provide such comparison columns is critical to our users' ability to see prior information and make a determination of new plan values for the plan year.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how I should approach this, or alternative approaches to take?

John,
This has been an issue with BPS since you can only display data columns of the granularity you specify rather than a range such as YTD similar to what you can do in BW restricted key figures.
The work around is to create and store the numbers in
1) YTD key figure in say fiscal year current year fiscal period current period and/or
2) Prior 12 months Key figure and store the number against fiscal year current year fiscal period # or first period period of the year...
Hope this helps and assign points if you found it useful.

BPS Document in Web Interface - Issue

Hi,
I am in BW 3.5 BPS.
1. I've switched on doc. property for 0costcenter, 0costelmnt, 0version
2. In the planning level, 0costcenter/0version are header characteristics limited to
one value and 0costelmnt in at row of layout
3. I've switched on "Read documents" in layout
4. Web component for doc. is setup in web interface and i can able to write comments into the text window
My problem is, when the comment is saved, i expect to save for combination of costcenter/version/costelement and KF.But what happens is, the comment is stored across version..meaning, i can see the comments even if i switch the version.. Is there anywhere i am missing..??
Regards,
KT

Hi,
I solved the issue. In my layout, i got 0version to display additional version like budget and the layout selection is set as "line". So basically, the system cant identify which version the combination can create..I thought it is smart enough to pick the version that is changeable...
Instead of line selection, if i set cell selection, then the document is getting created for particular version.
Regards,
KT
