BW-BPS quetions in "C_TBW45_70" certificaiton

Hi-
How many questions I can expect from BW-BPS (TBw45.pdf) in "C_TBW45_70" certificaion exam? I am looking for a approximate number.
The syllabus (waitage) section in the webpage, includes it in one the topics in 60% section, but no specific % for BPS.
I didn't attend BPS classes so I am planning to skip this based on how many questions I get?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mansi-
I am preparing for "SAP CERTIFIED APPLICATION ASSOCIATE- BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE WITH SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 "
Booking code : C_TBW45_70.
On SAP website , for above test , one the material to read is :
Integrated Planning : TBW45 OR BW370
When I check the title of these I see :
TBW45 : Business Planning and Simulation
BW370 : BI Integrated Planning.
So as per your reply, I think I should get BW370 doc instead of TB45 for preparing right?
Thanks in advance.

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.

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 ,
I need to retract data from BW-BPS 7.1 to SRM.I am new to BW
(3 months experience)
Can anyone send me documentation , links or steps by steps guide to explain how
to do the link please?
If there are no standard retractors, what is the solution?
This a challenging task for me and I really need to do it at work (there will be
an evaluation at the end of this work).
Thanks in advance for your help.
I'll surely assign points if one can help me.

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 .

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.

LIST OF VALUES not Populating in BPS WEB INTERFACE ( LAYOUTS )

Hi BI Guru's
I have created a WEB interface for BPS in BI ( version 7.0) . But when i execute this in internet explorer, I do not get the LIST OF VALUES for Material.
When I click on "input help" the system open a new window for "Value selection". When I specify the material code, it gives me blank LIST OF VALUES.
But it is working for other fields like Customer, UOM in the same layout.
Please suggest some solution.
Thanks,
Nilesh Labde

hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Master data is avaliable for the Material Code. The problem is in Internet Explorer and not in SAP GUI .
If i run Planning folder for the same layou in SAP GUI it is working fine.

CRM fields not populating in BPS layout for opportunity Planning 0crm_order

Hello Support,
We are using SAP CRM 5.0 SP09 with BW 7.0 SP 09.
When creating an opportunity in CRM, the product data ( quantity ,
values) are not appearing in Planning tab( SEM-BPS Layout) .
Kindly let us know what needs to be done to resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Rajiv Jain

In your CRM system, check your mapping from CRM to BW are correct.
You can do this in transaction SPRO. Menu path 'SAP Implementation Guide --> Integration with other mySAP components --> SEM --> Change mapping between CRM fields and InfoObjects'. Select planning application 'OPP' and click on 'Mapping table - system entries' on the left.
In here you should see the mapping from the InfoObject to the CRM field (eg. Infoobject 0CRM_EXPREV uses structure CRM_BW_OPPT_H and field name EXP_REVENUE).
In order for the value to be passed to planning you must tick the 'Empty' checkbox on.

Adrian

BPS and attributes change

Hi,
I'm currently working on BI-IP with planning function "Repost on Basis of Characteristic relationship" and it works well but i would like to know if there's something like this in BPS.
Some old projects are in BPS and there are some derivation by characteristic relationship. In BPS if an attribute changed from the last writing a new line is created with the new value but i don't think there's another line to cancelled the fisrt one (line with old attribute value).
I hope someone can find an issue for my question.
Raito.

After few test with BPS it doesn't work like BI-IP.
Let's take an example to be sure we speak about the same thing.
I've got a Web Interface for the input where we need to fill one Order Number with an Amount. On my Planning Area, there's a derivation by characteristic relationship for profit center (attribute of Order Number).
I fill my interface with Order Number A and an AMount of 10.
In my cube i have something like :
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount = 10
If my master data changed and my new profit center for Order number A is AB. If i changed my data in the input with the value 20, in my cube i've got something like :
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount = 10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AB / AMount = 10
For me it's not good because i need to have 20 in my profit center AB and 0 in AA like how it works with BI-IP and planning function "Repost with characteristic relationship". SO i need to have 3 lines in my cube
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount = 10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AA / AMount = -10
Order number = A / Profit Center = AB / AMount = 20
I hope it's clear ...

How to check if BIA has effect on a BPS function

Dear Experts,
As I know BIA can also improve DB read time (data selection) when performing a BPS function. Currently we are using a BIA test installation to see if it will help us. We have some BPS function with long data selection times.
I know created BIA indexes on all involved real time cubes. By just executing the concerned BPS functions I can see no effect. I now want to check if the BPS functions do access the BIA at all. For queries this is quite easy to check with RSRT.
So my question is:
Is there any tool available to check wether BIA is used by a BPS function or not? Some kind of RSRT for BPS.
Thanks & Regards,
Ulrich Meier

Hi Jens,
Thanks. I tried this. Strange result is that I get no data in that trace when running a BPS function. I do get data when running that trace during execution of a query which runs on the same InfoCubes as the planning function.
In the meantime I found table RSDDSTATBIAUSE which gets updated each time a InfoProvider is accessed if it has a BIA Index. Here my InfoProviders get a +1 in field BIA_USED when accessing them with the BPS function.
Furthermore I came across OSS-Note 990000 and installed the latest version of report ZBPPOBPS70 (I already knew that from BW 3.5). Here I found that field 'BW:Used Aggregate' is not populated, although within the coding of ZBPPOBPS70 there is indication that it should either show the used aggregate or BIA Index. The data is read from table RSDDSTATDM field AGGREGATE. There I found entries in AGGREGATE for 'normal' query calls but none for BPS calls.
With alll that in mind I'm more and more confused...
Regards,
Ulrich

Problem with Hierarchies in BPS- Web-Based Planning Applications

Im trying to use a Web-Based Planning Application in BPS. The Datacolumns consist of a charecterisitc with a hierarchy. this hierarchy is time dependend. The timeframe is set correctly but i still receive an the following error message in my web browser:
"Hierarchy 'Hierarchy_name' is not valid for date 26.06.2004"
Does this error message look familiar to anybody? In the moment I have no clue what went wrong

Hello Tobias,
I assume you are talking about error message UPC 413 (it always helps to mention the message class and number). Please check table RSHIEDIR. The hierarchy you are using is not valid for the key date you specified (RSHIEDIR-DATEFROM > KEYDATE or RSHIEDIR-DATETO < KEYDATE). If you do not enter a key date in the planning area, the system will always use the system date. So either use a different hierarchy or maintain it differently to be valid on keydate (26.6.2004).

Display only columns in schedule as in BPS

Hi all,
I am on BPC 7.0NW
For all those who have worked on BPS or IP earlier will understand this better -
My requirement is, when I am planning in January, I should be able to enter data in all the periods.
When I move to February, my January is locked, so I should be able to enter data only in Feb-Dec.
In March, Jan and Feb are locked, so I should be able to enter data only from March-Dec.
In short, the concept of Open periods and CLosed periods in BPS.
How do we achieve that in BPC?
Let me know.
Thanks.
Anand

Hey Anand
There is no data slice concept in SAP BPC. But in the templates (Excel), you can lock cells based on a property. So for example, in time dimension, have a property, lets say TYPE, which will be populated as ACTUAL/BUDGET/FORECAST. So if you are forecasting and are in Feb, your Jan month will have this property as ACTUAL while for rest of the months it will be FORECAST.
Now in excel templates, in the formatting section, use the LOCK option and use the criteria, TIME.TYPE = "ACTUAL".
The only downside is you have to define this for each template you build. You can even adopt formatting options from a master template that you might have defined for the company.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Interactive restriction on key figures in BPS layout

Hi Experts
I know you can define planning level/packages/layout header with variables to define selection criteria of characteristics for layout, but is it possible to define selection criteria on key figures? e.g. only show the data in layout with amount larger than a user input value (100 or any other amount you may input) when executing the layout?
Or I can define "condition" in BW query, and use this query for input layout for BPS? Because I know in NW04s BPS can use BW query as input layout.
any idea?
Thanks Patrick

Hi,
In BW-BPS, i don't think it is possible to achieve this as there is no option to define conditions.
thanks

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

Analysis Authorization with SEM-BPS

Hi,
We have performed technical upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We want to migrate to BI 7.0 functionality phase wise.
We have SEM-BPS and now we want to migrate to Analysis Authorization of BI 7.0.
Once we have igrated to Analysis Authorization, will there be any impact on SEM-BPS? Can we still use SEM-BPS with New Analysis Authorizations? We do not want to move to BI-IP in near future?.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
UR

Dear UR,
Iu2019m going to try helping you,
In difference of reporting functionality, in planning, the data of an InfoCube is not just read; it is also changed or created.
There are two planning tools in BI: BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation), and BI Integrated Planning.
There are two main tcode: BPS0 and RSPLAN
There are three authorization objects to manage Integrated Planning:
S_RS_PL_ADMIN - Planning Administrator
S_RS_PL_PLANNER u2013 Planner
S_RS_PL_PLANMOD_D u2013 Planning Modeler (Development System)
The main object in the planning scenario is InfoCube real-time, where can available writing in small package that arrive in parallel. In some cases the security requirements for reporting and planning can be merging. In this case you need authorization object for checking planning, as authorization object above, and you need authorization object for using a query for planning requires as S_RS_COMP.
In addition to authorization for displaying data, the authorizations for changing data you need analysis authorization (the analysis authorization focus in the InfoProvider, no in Aggregation Level).
In your analysis authorization design for reporting stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 value. In the planning stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 and 02 values. As explain following:
Using the characteristics 0TCAACTVT (activity), you can restrict the authorization to different activities. Read (03) is set as the default activity; you must also assign the activity Change (02) for integrated planning.
