Clear Data Manager Package Error "The data file is empty."

Hi,
When I run the Clear data package in Data Manager, I receive the error "The data file is empty." I selected a very specific set of dimension values (none are calculated) and am on BPC 7.5 SP3. I subsequently turned on debugging to troubleshoot, but do not see any obvious issues leading the the error message. The log file with debugging turned on is below. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Tom

I have not done any chnages in the script inside the task .
But when i run the package , I have selected a dimension 'Entity' but in second prompt ,it ask for a transformation file , and syatem autometically add the file ... \ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\COLPAL\FINANCE\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\Import.xls

Not sure how to proceed further.
I shall be greatfull if someone guide me from your experiance how to set up a simple the data manager package for master data export from dimension . Should I update the transformation file in the script for import file and output file in the advance tab. how and what transformation file to be created and link to the data manager package for export / import .

1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.

SharePoint 2013 - Cannot connect or Register WorkFlow Manager with error "The data or messaging layer is unavailable. Please retry after 300 seconds"

Hi
I have SharePoint 2013 farm and installed Workflow Manager 1.0 and configured it and have been runing fine for several months. I upgraded this farm to SP 1 and then started having some issue with publish WF 2013 with task in SPD.
I re-Registered using Register-SPWorkflowService command and that fixed the problem and WorkFlow Manager running again OK. It has been couple of monthle and now I am having the problem again but with a different error on SPD
So doing what I did before, I tried to re-Registered WFM but this time getting the error below
Register-SPWorkflowService : The data or messaging layer is unavailable. Please retry
after 300 seconds.
The only possible resolution that I found is to add the -AllowOAuthHttp in my Register-SPWorkflowService cmdlet but that didnot not resolve the problem. I tried that anyway eventhough we do not allow http.
I did some checking for status and configuration and Get-SBFarmstatus showing all WFM services are running OK
I browsed to the WFM server https://servername:12290 and get the same error
- <Errorxmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Code>UnexpectedError</Code>
<Message>The data or messaging layer is unavailable. Please retry after 300
seconds.</Message>
</Error>
If anyone have advise / suggestion to resolve this issue, please share
Thanks in advance for all comments

Hi Swanl,
Please refer to the article below for troubleshooting actions for workflow manager:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vincent_runge/archive/2014/01/07/troubleshooting-actions-for-sharepoint-2013-workflows.aspx
Moreover, activate workflow manager logs and see if there is any error message that could be help.

Prevent Data Manager Package to be startet at certain times of the day

Hi
We currently have an issue as described below.
During month end closing SAP BW data is updated to BPC 3 times each day. This is done using a Data Package linke performing 8 steps in total. This DP Link works as expected. The problem is that while this is running users start other data manager packages that are based on the data from the data package link. This is an issue because the data is not correctly allocated before all 8 steps of the DP link has completed. This leads to very funny / Incomplete data and we would like to prevent this issue.
The question is therefor! Can we implement some kind of logic that prevents users from starting other data manager packages when the DP link is running?
/Chris

Hi Chris,
If you want to do the check for a DM which is running eg. a script via the default formular PC you can create copy of the PC and build in an extra step just after the start to run a custom program.
You can set up the custom program eg. to check the table RSPCLOGCHAIN for dependent running PC or validate if the DM package can run dependent on some parameters set in a custom table. Eg. set the time range for when you are running the pakage link.
You don't need much logic in the custom program to do the check.
I don't see another or even standard way to do the check in BPC.

Data records rejected while using Data Manager Packages

Hello all ,
We have configured the dimensions and applications in SAP- BPC 7.5 NW. However , while loading the data into the application using a data manager package , all the records are rejected. The following is the error :
Line 3 :Dimension: P_CC member: SALESTEAM1 is invalid or is a calculated member
Line 3 :Dimension: PRODUCT member: PRODUCTA is invalid or is a calculated member
However , these member are present in the dimensions and are processed as well !! Any help is appreciated .
THanks
Vijay

The message seems to be saying you have a dimension forumula defined for those two cost centers. Please check your dimension members master data and make sure there is nothing defined in a property column called "Formula" for those two members. If there is something populated, then delete the cell contents and save and process your dimension. Then try your data manager load again.
Best regards,

Cannot run data management packages

Hi there folks,
I'm having some problems running data management packages (specifically the Import package). Bizarrely it worked OK yesterday, but for some reason I run the same package again today and nothing happens; nothing appears in the progress box and no data is loaded.
I'm using the same computer (VM, actually) over my clients VPN, as I did yesterday. I know AV can cause problems with this but my VM has no anti-virus and the firewall is switched off.
Very odd - any ideas? It's not a problem I've seen before, but is causing my huge issues.
Thanks a lot,
Jason

Hi Sorin,
I forgot that piece of useful information - sorry!
I'm running 5.1 SP7... I am pretty sure that Service Packs are cumulative, so in theory my problem should be solved, right?
Unfortunately not, though, so any help you can offer is much appreciated!
Thanks as always,
Jason

Hi Raju,
Thank you for your reply.
It seems that it is SP related issue. When we downgrade our EPM Add-in to SP13 patch4, it did not throw any error.

Error in Execution of Data Manager Package

Hi Folks,
We are facing the following error while executing the Data Manager Package for Clear/Import..
Error Details:
[Admin-ProcessPartition]Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found: Table: dbo_tblFactFinance, Column: ENTITY, Value: CONEUROPE.
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The process operation ended because the number of errors encountered during processing reached the defined limit of allowable errors for the operation.
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the 'FAC2Finance_INCR_UPDATE_TEMP_kmj3h_' partition of the 'Finance' measure group for the 'Finance' cube from the YASH6 database.
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The process operation ended because the number of errors encountered during processing reached the defined limit of allowable errors for the operation.
Internal error: The operation terminated unsuccessfully.
Please Look into it.....

Hello,
It looks like you have an inconsistency on the OLAP level. Please try to reprocess Entity dimension choosing full process for your application. This should solve the issue.

The Full Optimization & Lite Optimization Data Manager packages are failing

Hi,
The Full Optimization and Lite Optimization Data Manager packages are failing with the following message "An Error occured while querying for the webfolders path".
Can anyone had similar issue earlier, please let me know how can we rectify the issue.
Thanks,
Vamshi Krishna

Hi,
Does the Full Optimize work from the Administration Console directly?
If it's the case, delete the scheduled package for Full Optimize every night (in both eData -> Package Schedule Status and in the Scheduled Tasks on your server Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks), and then try to reschedule it from scratch.
If it's not solving your problem, I would check if there are some "wrong" records into the FACT and FAC2 tables.
After that, I would also check if the tblAppOptimize is having other values than 0. For all applications, you should have a 0 there.
Hope this will help you..
Best Regards,
Patrick

Default File Selection while Running Data Manager Package

Hi BPC Experts,
What i wanted to know is that is possible to make a file selection as "Default" for running a data manager package.Say for example i wanted to run a simple DMP "Load Transaction data from from BW InfoProvider UI" and the file that i always select is "ZFIGL010" for this is it possible to get "ZFIGL010" file as pre-populated (or pre-selected)instead user going and choosing from long list of files available "Info Provider Selection".
Thanks
Rahul

Rahul,
As Ashish said you cant get rid of the info provider name selection as you are using the /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROV_UI pkg. But if you use /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROVIDER package you can follow the below steps to get rid of the selection.
Comment the below prompt statement in the Advance script of the pkg which asks you to select the Info provider.Its the first statement of the script. You can comment by putting a ' before begining of the statement.
PROMPT(TEXT,%InforProvide%,"Please enter InfoProvider to download data",)
Add a INFO statement and pass the same INFO statement to the Task. Please refer to image below.

Nikhil

Copying the data manager package

HI All,
In BPC, I need the contents and packages of my data manager package to be copied from my production server to Testing server.(I want the entire contents in there, to be copied.)
Can anyone suggest me, how can i do that??

Hi,
I meant that you need to go the path:
<installation folder>\Data\Wefolders\appsetname\appname\datamanager\packagefiles
You will be able to see your package file, here. You can copy it and then paste it on the same path in the target server.
Hope this helps.

Change of sign when running the data management package

Hi All,
I have written a script logic for copying my Budget member under category dimension to say another member say "XYZ" under category dimension and this is for my Member Sales under ACcount dimension having acctype as inc.
When i run the logic thru default i am getting the correct value. however if i run the same thru data manager package- my sign changes.
Eg. 100000 is copied as -100000 and -50000 is copied as 50000.
Please help me out
Regards
Navin

Hi Navin,
CREDITPOSITIVE= YES | NO
Default: YES
If No, all amounts referring to an ACCOUNT type (LEQ, INC) will have their signs reversed.
Since you are referring to the member account sales as INC the default logic considers the sign as reversed.
Please look at this link which helps you to understand
Significance of Account Type EXP,LEQ,INC,AST in BPC- Need some valid reason
Hope this helps.

NEW TO SAP BPC - Advice on Data Management Packages

Hi,
I am an experienced Microsoft BI User, but am new to SAP BPC.
I am working on a project that has required me to create custom SSIS packages for my client. To date my packages transform / cleanse and format the source into a clean CSV file, that requires no further intervention from the user, other than to use the standard SAP BPC Import Routine, with a simple Transformation file.
In order to fully automate the process, I would like my Custom package to automatically invoke the Standard import package without any user based intervention.
Can anyone advise on this?
I have considered writing further logic in my custom package that would completely bypass SAP BPC Data Manager, and insert the information direclty into the Fact Tables, taking into consideration any members that don't exist in the Dimensions. However, I would prefer not to go down this route unless absolutely necessary.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, so that I can call a clear routine from within my custom package, that would invoke a SAP BPC package /task to clear certain data from the fact table, and then call another Package / task that would update the Fact table based on a fully prepared csv file.
Many thanks

You could modify your custom package to perform all the steps thru BPC import and have the user initiate the Package from the BPC Data Manager. You would just need to add a MODIFYSCRIPT variable (see the standard IMPORT package as an example) and add the BPC tasks required to Convert/Load that data your package already prepares.
I have had prior success having a custom package initiated from within the BPC Data Manager extract data from an external data source (ie: Oracle), use user provided runtime input to customize data extraction parameters, manipulate the extracted data, and import it into BPC.
Unfortunately I've never attempted to initiate a BPC task without the package being initiated from within BPC. But I would surmise that if you provide the proper values for the individual BPC Tasks (ie: Convert and Load) required properties (ie: AppSet, App, User,...), I cannot think why it would not work.
