BW to BPC Infoprovider load

While loading the data thru Infoprovider package there is no selection criteria available for loading.
I have created package as per BPC document using the process chain../CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROVIDER
Has some one seen this...how the selection criteria is handled particulary if I want to load only the current month data...

Doodwala,
The most efficient way is to use a statement like SELECTION=TIMEINFOOBJECTNAME,2009.JAN.
Since the transformation and conversion files don't really have any access to information about the current date (as far as I know), it will be hard to do anything more dynamic.
One alternative approach would be to do something on the BW side using navigational attributes. You can do selections on navigational attributes in the transformation file, so let's take an example where the infoprovider you are loading from contains an infoobject ZTIME, which holds the BPC TIME dimension member values.
You could create a navigational attribute of this infoobject in BW. Let's call the navigational attribute ZCURRENT. ZCURRENT can have value "Y" or "N".
Now you go into master data maintenance of ZTIME in BW and set the navigational attribute ZCURRENT to "Y" for the current month.
In your BPC transformation file, you have a selection in the option field that looks like *SELECTION=ZTIME___ZCURRENT,Y (Please note that I'm not sure I got the right number of underscores in that name. You'll need to run listcube or check the navigational attribute name in RSD1 to make sure you get the name exactly right.)
Now this transformation file will load only records that have a time where the navigational attribute ZCURRENT is set to "Y".
Just a thought, though an approach that would at least centralize the maintenance of the current month, instead of having to change all of your transformation files each month.

BW Staging cube to BPC Delta load - options

Hello Gurus
What are the options of loading BW staging cube data to BPC with Delta options
1)can i have BW DSO (not cube) as staging cube and then load data to BPC cube
what is advantage and disadvantage
2)If i use data manager of BPC to load data from BW staging cube ,it always load FULL load
disadvantage - data doubles in the BPC infocube
3)If i use the BW staging cube to load the BPC cube with standard ETL process of BW ,will the data double in BPC cube
i would guess not as BW handles the DELTA mechanism efficiently ?
4)Data Manager option from BPC
it has 2 options MERGE and REPLACE ,cant REPLACE option work as DELTA from BPC ,as this will avoid creating BW extra cube for delta
Thanks

Thanks Sheldon ,
so basically ur recommended data flow is below and while loading to BPC, clear write optimised DSO everytime correct ?
ECC>Staging DSO> Write optimised DSO-->BPC
so in the above flow which DSO should convert KF based model to Account based model ,std DSO or Write optimised DSO
so how abt this flow if i put
ECC>Staging InfocubeDELTA infocube-->BPC where i clear DELTA infocube every time I load to BPC
here i am saving the data load activation time for the staging DSO ,
Any disadvantage you think using the approach I select below with staging Infocube
Also wont the data manager option of REPLACE work as DELTA ? if not what is the business case to use this option
Thanks again for your help in advance

Is there a way to enable delta for BPC transaction loads ?

Hi,
I am using Data Management package methodology to load data from BI to BPC.
Created Transformation file, created Data management package to download the data from Infoprovider and run the package to load the data from BI cube to BPC application.
everytime i run the package all the data from Infoprovider is read and will feed the application.So is there a way to delta enable the load from BI cube ?
does this method work for volumes ? what is the best practice for BPC NW to load the transaction data from BI to BPC.
thoughts appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for the information.Your blog is really a savior.
I have followed the steps for automating the DM package.I have created prompt file based on the log file generated from the successful run of the package and i have entered all the required fields in UJD_TEST_PACKAGE programe along with Answer prompt file and i ran the package then some of the records were rejected with error "No authorization for members()on dimension()" and in the detaile log i saw "Cannot access the member (ACTUAL) of dimension (C_CATEGORY)" as the rejected records.
Other hand if i run the package directly in excel client > Run Data management package then the package runs succesfully without any errors.
I have checked the authorizations in Admin Client and i have full Member Access profile.Also checked C_Category is not a secured dimension.
what it has to do with C_CATEGORY dimension??
do we need any special authorisations while we run through the program? even in BI i have sap_all profile.
Pls help.

"Sematic Group" in BPC data loading?

Hi All:
Now, I have a Data Manager Package to load data from BW to BPC, during the loading, I wrote a UJD routine to do the calculation of expense from cost center. The issue is the data volume for one individual cost center is huge. So, those records could come in multiple packages. I would like to know if there is similar mechanism in BPC like the "Sematic Group" in BW. So, I can put all records for one cost center into one package.
Thanks,
Sean

Sean,
You can increase the default package size (default 50K) to include all your records for that Cost center.

BI Cube to BPC ( application) load

We are in 7.5NW , sp4. To get transaction data from BI cube into BPC application, we are using standard process chain(/CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROVIDER) within a DM package.
But every time we run this process chain through DM, I am seeing a FULL load and NOT the delta loads from BI into BPC(even with "Merge data values" option). I thought this "Merge data values" should do the delta loads and NOT full loads.
Anybody has seen this issue and any potential resolutions ?
Thanks
KV

Hello ,
For delta load, you can have a DSO before you load the records into BPc and every time after loading into BPC you can clear the DSO. Please note that this is a BW solution/work around to handle deltas and not a BPC solution.
Thanks.

BI/BPC data load

we have created the complete data flow for the cube created by BPC (/cpmb/cube) and loaded the transaction data into the cube but we cant see the data in BPC.
Is there any program to be run at the BI side to make the data available in bpc
thanks in advance

Hey,
when you directly load your data with IP from BI to BPC, the BPC cube changes from planning mode to loading mode.
right click and change it back to planning mode.Check it out now.
But as i have said earlier in my prev reply, optimisation would cause loss of data as bpc does not have an idea of this load.
check this pravn's blog for more idea

BPC Hierarchy load - Zero record

Hi Experts
I am trying to load Master data + Hierarchy first time in this system and followed below both document..
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-35363
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-35364
The master data/attribute load run successfully with selecting "OR" option and hierarchy..but BPC is not able to recognize the Hierarchy nodes..
When I run only Hierarchy package then I get below log ->
Task name HIERARCHY DATA SOURCE:
No records are returned from 0GL_ACCOUNT
Record count: 0
Task name CONVERT:
No 1 Round:
Reject count: 0
Record count: 0
Skip count: 0
Accept count: 0
Task name HIERARCHY DATA TARGET:
Submit count: 0
I am sure the issue is that BPC is not able to read Hierarchy from BW & i have checked the hierarchy structure is present in BW.
I am working on BW 7.4 , BPC 10 Release -> 801 SP-Level 06 , EPM 17 Patch 2
Thanks for your help!!

Hi Andy
I can not see the Hierarchy nodes in Web Admin after loading Master data.
I have exact setup in other implementation in BW 7.3 and it is working but in BW 7.4 it is not
Applied 2 relevant SAP note but still issue is there..

BPC data load for consolidation..

Once gone live.. how frequently is the data will be loaded for each month.. Is it on daily basis or only at the end of month loading.
I understand that if the data is loaded only at the end of the month.. all errors will come only during monthend and will delay the consolidation process.

Hi,
Consolidation happens monthly and quarterly only.
Consolidation normally happens at YTD figures ie Year to date figures.
If you take the transaction data mid of the month and start doing execution your profit will show wrong figures and all eliminations may go wrong.
You can plan your consolidation process after Closer of existing source system books for the particular month.

Best practice to Load FX rates to Rate Application in SAP BPC 7.5 NW

Hi,
What is the best practice/approach to load FX rates to Rate Application in SAP BPC 7.5 NW? Is it from ECC or BW?
Thanks,
Rushi

I have seen both cases.
1) Rates coming as a flat file from external system, treasury department, and ECC and BPC both loads in to respective systems in batch.
2) ECC pushes rate info to BW and data in turn get pushed to BPC along with other scheduled process chains.
How are rates entering your ECC?

BPC 7.5: Node ID and description are not loading

Hi,
I'm working on BPC 7.5 and SP04.
I'm working on BPC 7.5 and SP04.
I have G/L account hierarchy in BI system. I tried to load G/L account master data attr/text into BPC and successfully loaded but hierarchy node ID's and description are missed. I followed the below steps.
1) Loaded master attr,text and hierarchy data from ECC to BI and activated the master data.
2) Used the below transformation and conversion file.
3) Selected the hierarchy in selecetion in data package while loading data into BPC.
Transformation File:

Loading key and/or description from BW into BPC

Dear all,
We have the requirement to load master data from BW into BPC 10 NW (SP4) and are facing some difficulties.
Depending on the property, we want to do the following:
- Load the attribute key into BPC property
- Load the attribute description into BPC property
- Load both concatenated using an underscore into BPC property
The loading process as such works and the concatenation would aswell, but so far I'm only able to load the keys into BPC. In the BW table I can see that the attribute has both a key and a description but I don't know how to select the description in BPC (either through transformation file, set selection, ...). Is there a standard functionality to select between a key and a description in BPC 10 or do I have to ask the BW-team to make an additional attribute with the description as a key?
Same goes for loading the member ID's and member descriptions for a specific dimension. There we want to fill the member ID in BPC with the BW description and use another BW description to fill the member description in BPC.
Any advice/input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I have the same problem and I don't know how to solve it.
While loading master data into BPC InfoObjects (or as called in BPC jargon "Dimensions") I found out, that it is possible to load the Attribute ID's relatetd to the InfoObject, while it is not possible to load the corresponding descriptions.
Actually I cant help you with my post. But atrouble shared is a trouble halfed
I would be pleased if somebody could offer any solution to this problem
Kind Regards,

Issue in loading Vendor Hierarchy in BPC 7.5 in NW version

Hi Gurus,
I am using BPC NW version 7.5.
I am automating vendor master data for loading Ids in BPC dimension.
My BI infoobject (0Vendor) has no Hierarchy.It has only Member ids.Business Requirement is to populate Hierarchy as Defaulf as ALLVENDOR.
By using the DM in BPC i loaded Member ID sucessfully in the BPC Dimension.
Please guide me with steps for populating Hierarchy as Default (ALLVENDORS) in the Parent1 column in BPC dimension.
Thanks In advance.
Mahesh

Scott,
Mapping the hierarchy in the transformation file via PARENTH1=*NEWCOL(ALLVENDORS) gives an error message 'Hierarchy is not allowed to be created by mapping PARENTH1'. So I think the only way of maintaining default PARENTH1 values - besides loading from a hierarchy - is to populate it via the Excel BPC dimension maintenance. Which can be cumbersome, specifically if a lot of new members get added frequently to a dimension and the dimension sheet each time needs to be manually updated. The only other way I can think of is to create an ENDROUTINE BADI for this which I am not sure if it allows to populate PARENTH1.

Lars

Transformation file errors(bpc cube to bpc cube)

Hi friends,
I'm trying to load bpc cube data to other bpc cube. Created transformation file with following options & mapping sections.
Simply i've to move from cube A to cube B(A, B are internally created transaction cube when creating BPC applications)
Cube A having around 12 dims and cube B having 7 dims. In mapping i mentioned only 7 dims because target is having 7 dims.
I think it not required to mention about other dimension in A.
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = NO
DELIMITER = ,
AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = .
SKIP = 0
SKIPIF =
VALIDATERECORDS=YES
CREDITPOSITIVE=YES
MAXREJECTCOUNT=
ROUNDAMOUNT=

*MAPPING (Target dim = source dim)
ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT
Category=Category
Entity=Entity
InputCurrency=InputCurrency
LOB=LOB
Time=Time
CIRCLE=CIRCLE
*CONVERSION
When i tried to validate and process transformation, system telling "Errors occured while loading data from other cube".
Do i add any other things/options?
thanks,

Hi Naresh,
If you have more Dimensions in the source cube than in the target, INFOPROVIDER load is not a good idea. My understanding is that is such case you'll have to find a way to skip dimensions that are not loaded.
Therefore *DESTINATION_APP or BADI DEST_APP are your best options. Basically, if you need any transformation/calculations than use *DESTINATION_APP; if it's just straight aggregation BADI will do it.
How many records do you have to load? How much time do you expect that load will take? If it takes more than 20 minutes take a look at my blog "Improve performance of your BPC scripts" http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/21214.

Error when run Process Chain via BPC NW

Hi Gurus,
I am implementing SAP BPC 7.5 NW in a customer and I´m facing the following error when try to run a process chain via Data Manager: "Failed to analyze instruction ,TAB,%TAB% ".
Here is the scenario: we created a process chain that will be able to capture values recorded in a BPC application, load them into an DSO (make some transformations there) and finally send those transformed values to an specific table at ECC. This process will be started after some simulations at BPC and, when the user ends its simulation, start this process chain via BPC; this process chain is named as PC_ECC.
We made a copy of /CPMB/DEFAULT_FORMULAS and named it PC_FORMULA and, before step /CPMB/CLEAR, I assigned my process chain PC_ECC.
So, at Data Manager, I add this process chain (PC_FORMULA) and in Advanced button, I put this statement:
INFO(%EQU%,=)
INFO(%TAB%,;)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,TAB,%TAB%)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,EQU,%EQU%)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,SUSER,%USER%)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,SAPPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(PC_FORMULA,SAPP,%APP%)
//TASK(PC_FORMULA,LOGICFILENAME,DEFAULT.LGF)
//TASK(PC_FORMULA,REPLACEPARAM,TESTE3%EQU%%TESTE3%%TAB%ASARENT%EQU%%ASARENT%%TAB%SOURCE%EQU%%SOURCE%%TAB%TARGET%EQU%%TARGET%)
As we do not have any script logic to be executed, we commented the two last statements.
When we run this package via DM, it gives us the message error: "Failed to analyze instruction ,TAB,%TAB% "
Looking through SDN forum we found two posts similar to this issues:
But the suggestion to supress the statement TASK(PC_FORMULA,TAB,%TAB%) do not work; when we comment this statement, the message error gives us the message:"Failed to analyze instruction ,EQU,%EQU% "; when we comment the statement TASK(PC_FORMULA,EQU,%EQU%) and the previous (with TAB). the DM gives us the message: TASK(PC_FORMULA,SUSER,%SUSER%) and so on, until nothing has left to comment.
Anyone of you view or has some similar case of error?
Thanks in advance to you all
Best Regards
Adriano

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your answer.
I checked the parameter at my process chain and it has a variant (/CPMB/DEFAULT_FORMULAS_LOGIC) with the parameters:
TAB
SUSER
SELECTION
SAPPSET
REPLACEPARAM
MEMBERSELECTION
LOGICFILENAME
EQU
So, when I put in the task PC_FORMULA, TAB, %TAB%, it will be able to be recognized by the task...and the other parameters too. And when I take one of them off the task instructions, the system complains.
Any other suggestion?
Once again, thanks..a.nd best regards
Adriano

SAP NW BPC 7.5 Queries !!!

Hi Experts,
I am working on a SAP NW BPC 7.5 project . I have few Queries related to it :--
1. Suppose every day delta records are coming in BI Infocubes and now we want to load delta records monthly into BPC infocubes. How do we achieve that in BPC ?
2. Actual Vs Plan reporting has to be done in BPC infocubes or a multiprovider needs to be created?
3. Is navigational attributes supported in NW BPC ?
4. Is it recommended to schedule a process chain daily in NW BPC?
Thanks & Regards,
Montz

Hello Montz -
1. Suppose every day delta records are coming in BI Infocubes and now we want to load delta records monthly into BPC info cubes. How do we achieve that in BPC ?
Please review my response in the following post:
[Re: BW Staging cube to BPC Delta load - options|Re: BW Staging cube to BPC Delta load - options]
2. Actual Vs Plan reporting has to be done in BPC info cubes or a multiprovider needs to be created?
Best practice is to migrate the Actuals into BPC so you can use the BPC reporting tools. You can alternatively migrate BPC data into BW, however there are a few areas that need to be addressed for this to be successful: 1) need to deal with sign reversal for account types INC and LEQ, 2) need to insure data is secure outside of the BPC name space, and 3) need to provide a solution for any dimension formulas being used.
3. Is navigational attributes supported in NW BPC ?
All BPC properties are generated as NAV attributes in the BW backend.
4. Is it recommended to schedule a process chain daily in NW BPC?
The answer totally depends on your process and business requirements.
Regards,
Sheldon
