Connecting of BPC 7.0 MS with SAP BI

Dear all
I am looking for the connectivity of BPC 7.0 MS with SAP BI. I have used the flat file upload mode but I am exploring some robust method to connect both systems. Can you tell me about this? What is the ETL connectors and to what extent they are useful in connectivity?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir
Thanks for the reply.
We are doing the data upload thru Open Hub > Flat File upload and then via Data Manager into BPC. Also I'll look into the link shared by you. However from system control point of view still not confident as system is finally going to generate a flat/ csv file. So just trying to make the communication in more controlled environment.
Also I am wondering for 'ETL connection/ connector' as heard for several times in context of BPC connectivity.
Once again thanks for the prompt reply.

  • Error while Connecting report Best Practices v1.31 with SAP

    Hello experts,
    I'm facing an issue while trying to connect some of my reports from Best Practices for BI with SAP.
    It only happens when it's about info sets, the other ones that are with SAP tables go smoothly without a problem.
    The most interesting is I have already one of the reports connected to SAP info sets.
    I have already verified the document of steps of creation of additional database that comes with BP pack. They seem ok.
    Here goes what Crystal Reports throws to me after changing the data source to SAP:
    For report "GL Statement" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: /KYK/IS_FIGL_I3:
    - Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
    - Database connector error: It wasn't indicated any variant for exercise (something like this after translating) - click ok then
    - Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
    For report "Cost Analysis: Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" one of the Financial Analysis one which uses InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_ODVR and ZBPBI131_INFO_COAS; and also the Query CO_OM_OP_20_Q1:
    - Failed to retrieve data from the database; - click ok then...
    - Database connector error: check class for selections raised errors - click ok then
    - Database connector error: RFC_INVALID_HANDLE
    Obs.: Those "Z" infosets are already created in SAP environment.
    The one that works fine is one of the Purchasing Analysis reports:
    - Purchasing Group Analysis -> InfoSet: /KYK/IS_MCE1
    I'm kind of lost to solve this, because I'm not sure if it can be in the SAP JCO or some parameter that was done wrongly in SAP and I have already check possible solutions for both.
    Thanks in advance,

    I re-checked step 3.2.3 - Uploading Crystal User Roles (transaction PFCG) - of the manual where it talks about CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT and CRYSTAL_DESIGNER roles, I noticed in the Authorizations tab that the status was saying it hadn't been generated and I had a yellow sign, so then that was what I did (I generated) as it says in the manual.
    Both statuses are now saying "Authorization profile is generated" and the sign is now green on the tab.
    I had another issue in the User tab (it was yellow as Authorizations one before generating)....all I needed to do to change to green was comparing user (User Comparison button).
    After all that, I tried once more to refresh the Crystal report and I still have the error messages being thrown.
    There's one more issue in one of the tabs of PFCG transaction, it is on the Menu one where it is with a red sign, but there's nothing talking about it in the manual. I just have a folder called "Role menu" without anything in it.
    Can it be the reason why I'm facing errors when connecting the report to SAP infoSets? (remember one of my reports which is connected to an infoSet works good)
    Thanks in advance,

  • How many people can be on the system with a 512 K connection in BPC 7 MS

    Hi,
    It appears that BPC uses a large piece of the band width and more than one computer and user with a 512 K connection using BPC will not work.How many people can be on the system with a 512 K connection? -BPC 7 ms version.
    Thx
    PLN

    I would like to precise more things regarding the network.
    I did a case study for one customer and really to have good performances with SAP BPC client the network required the follow:
    Bandwitdth 1024kb/s
    Latency smaller than 200 ms between BPC client and BPC server
    Otherwise the users will experience problems:
    1. IBandwitdh < 1024Kb/s then to download 80 MB or more (templates + dimensions) will require a lot of time and that's means the login time will be very slow every time when a dimension is changed or security is process
    2. When an report is executed (a medium report not very complex report) around 100 mesage are send between bpc client and server. So if latency > 200 ms than a simple calculation is saying just into network it will be lost 200 * 100 ms = 20 s.
    So for a report which normally is taking 5 - 10 second it will take 30s or even more into client with latency bigger than 200 ms.

  • SSAS Cube Connection with SAP BO IDT

    Hi Guyz,
    I have one requirement where i have to connect the SSAS cube with SAP BO along with cube security.I was able to connect the SSAS cube with the help of IDT using cube's Dll file , but i couldnot able to implement cube security in my SAP BO environment. The security incides the specific roles which are there in cube. My connection is not implementing the security which is there in cube.
    Kindly , provide any insights if anyone have on these.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Dear, Roberto,
    Our user has Full Access to all BPC tasks and it is administrator in BI system.
    Also we can successfully connect with the same user using Connection type "Local".
    We had done some investigation and in the BPC SQL Server trace log we can catch the following message when an error occurs:
    ==============[System Error Tracing]==============
    [System  Name] : BPCXMLAService [Message Type] : ErrorMessage [Job Name]    : ValidateUser [DateTime]    : 04/23/2014 10:58:06 [UserId]      : [Exception]    DetailMsg  : {System.Exception: Invalid user    at SAP.BPC.Services.Webservice.XMLAService.XMLAService.ValidateUser()} ==============[System Error Tracing  End ]==============
    It is very interesting that after the EPM workbook is launched via BI Launch Pad till an error occurs we are NOT provided with possibility to enter any username and password. So the EPM add-in should use the same user which was logged into BI Launch Pad - in our case the user with administrative rights both in BI Launch Pad and BPC systems. Am I missing anything?
    Looking forward your feedback.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    New  SP was released in February, and now most of the new bugs should been caught ,This has a Central Note. For SP06 it's Note 1527325 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP06 NetWeaver Central Note to fix any issues. Most of the improvements in SP06 were related to performance, especially when logging on from the BPC clients.There you should be able to find a big list of fixes/improvements and Notes that describe those. Some of the Notes even have test description how to reproduce that issue in the old version.
    hope this will help you

    hello,
    I went to the PAM in the SAP Marketplace to see if SAP GRC AC 5.3 could connect to SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise but I can't see all the "Add-On Product Version for...", it's cut off.
    Can SAP GRC AC 5.3 connect without any problem with SAP R/3 4.7 Enterprise?
    If I can't is there any proof about it? I have to show it to a client.
    Best Regards,
    Pablo Mortera,

    Pablo,
    GRC AC 5.3 works perfectly fine with SAP's R/3 4.6c, mySAP ERP 4.7 and ECC systems. In fact we have two 4.7 Enterprise systems connected to GRC AC 5.3 system.
    You can get the details of supported SAP ERP systems under prerequisite section of Info page of GRC AC 5.3 , it can be accessed on marketplace at -
    Downloads-->Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group > SAP Solutions for Governance, Risk, and Compliance>SAP GRC Access Control>SAP GRC ACCESS CONTROL>SAP GRC ACCESS CONTROL 5.3
    Just ensure to have proper BASIS and ABAP support pack level as mentioned in prerequisites.

  • How to connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?

    Hello to all,
    sorry, can someone help me? How can I connect SAP R/3- System with SAP NetWeaver Portal (2004s)?
    Thanks and regards,
    Galyna

    Hi,
    In previous link contain this info
    This describes how to connect an SAP R/3 system to SAP NetWeaver Portal using an iView
    1)      Go to System Administration
    2)      Go to System Configuration
    3)      Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder.
    4)      Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "System (from Template)".
    5)      That will display a new view on right side, now select "SAP system using dedicated application server" from
    the existing templates. (Other templates are possible - for example, load balanced or through a SAProuter connection string).
    For this exercise, we'll use the simplest type.
    6)      Choose next
    7)      Give the System Name and System Id (which are mandatory fields) incase you want to give any brief notes
    about the system then give them in the "Description" field.
    8)      Open the Newly Created System.
    9)      Now when you want to create a New System, you have to fill four Properties they are:
    "Connector" - contains basic connectivty details
    "Internet transaction Server (ITS) - if you wish to use SAPGUI for HTML and/or IACs",
    "Web Application Server" - if you wish to access BSPs and/or Web Dynpro for ABAP and
    "User Management".
    You also need at least one "System Alias" has to be defined from the Display drop down menu.
    Make sure you have set end user access in the Permissions drop down menu to all users who need to access the system
    10)  Select "Connector" property, now fill the required fields such as:
    a)      Application Host (should be fully qualified hostname) - Give the R/3 "Application Name",
    which can be obtained from the SAP Logon Pad (check what R/3 system you are using, right click on it , go to the properties,
    it will open a window which has the Application Server Name.
    b)      Logical System Name - Give the logical name as defined in the backend system
    c)      SAP Client - Check the Client in the backend system and give the appropriate number (3 digits)
    d)      SAP System ID(SID)* - Check the R/3 properties and give the check for System ID
    e)      System Type* - Since we are connecting to R/3, select SAP_R3 system.
    f)       System Number - This is a two digit number that you can find in the SAP Logon Pad
    11)  Select "Internet transaction Server (ITS)" property, now fill the required fields like
    a)      ITS Description à Give some Description
    b)      ITS Host Name - Same as "Application Host" of R/3 (when integrated ITS) and should be attached with the
    port number of ITS Server (to get port number detailed description is given below). ex: hostname : port number
    c)      ITS Path - To get the path along with the port number you have to Log on to R/3 system. Use the
    Transaction Code "SICF", it opens a new window go to:
          default_host -> sap -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its -> webgui -> SAP GUI for HTML -> right click on
    that and click "Test Service'. This will open a new window, on the address bar you will find the "port number", and
    the path something like (/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). Use the path after the port number.
    d)      ITS Protocol - There are two protocols "http" & "https", select the appropriate protocol which is
    visible when you opened "Test Service" window.
    12)  Select "Web Application Server" property , now fill the required fields like
    a)      Web AS Description -> Give some Description
    b)      Web AS Host Name - same as ITS Host Name
    c)      Web AS Path - usually /sap/bc/bsp/sapd)*    
    Web AS Protocol - should be same as the ITS Protocol.
    13)   Select "User Management" property, now fill the required fields like
    a)      Authentication Ticket Type - Since we are not using SSO leave the field
    empty i.e. put in select mode. (Please note that longer term you will probably want to use SSO)
    b)      Logon Method - Select UIDPW.
    c)      User Mapping Type - In case you have administration rights then you choose "admin" or in case you
    just have user rights then choose "user", better go for "admin/user".
    14)   Since all the required fields are filled appropriately now create a System Alias name, this can be done by following steps:
    a) go to Display -> Select "System Aliases" give some Alias Name, let's call it "SAP_R/3"
    15)  Now that System is created we have to create a iView which will display the given Transaction Code.
    16)  Go To "Content Administration".
    17)  Go To "Portal Content".
    18)  Go to Portal Content (Right Side Panel), open that folder
    19)  Right Click on Portal Content, a Panel is displayed select "New" -> iView
    20)  Select iView template, click next
    21)  Select "SAP Transaction iView" from the list of templates available. Click next.
    22)  Give the iView name and iView ID. Incase you want to give any brief notes about the iView then give it in "Description" field. Click next
    23)   Select "SAP GUI for HTML" radio button. Click next
    24)  Now select the system which you have create "SAP_R/3", give some Transaction Code, say SE12 (Dictionary Display). Click next and Finish.
    25)  Now Preview the iView
    26)  You will see a new Window where in SE12 Dictionary Display window is displayed.

  • Using Connect:Direct with SAP

    Folks,
    Client is using Connect:Direct to transfer the files from one location to another location.There are two table maintained namely T9AOA and T9AOB with Interface id and Unix scripting w.r.t Processing types respectively.
    1.I don't think these are SAP standard tables then why they are not named starting with Z or Y
    2.How to use Connect:Direct with SAP.
    Searched in SDN and google but didn't get any clear information on the above.From google I came to know this is a Product of Sterling Commerce(AT&T).
    Hope someone here who used Connect:Direct with SAP can share the info.
    Thanks,
    Kiran.

    Paky,
    The existing Design,had some tables which were maintained with required Unix Scripts.In the program we are just fetching that script from the table and building a Unix Command to move the files.There is also a URL using which we can check the status of the files.As I was just using the already existing design,don't have much info on how C:D connectivity can be designed from scratch.
    By Googling,I was able to get some info.May be it will give you some lead.

  • Business Objects XI 3.0/3.1- Connection with SAP ERP not with BW

    Hi all members,
    I have to confirm that can we connect "SAP Business Objects XI 3.0 or XI 3.1" with SAP ERP.
    My client does not have SAP Business Warehouse. Neither they are interested to have SAP BW.
    So, I have to confirm that can we connect "SAP Business Objects XI 3.0 or XI 3.1" with SAP ERP ?
    Any other thing i have to go for?
    Kindly any member guide me in bit detail.
    Thanks and Best Regards,

    Hi,
    currently it is not possible to build web intelligence reports fetching data directly from an SAP ERP system. The reason is that SAP ERP data sources are not supported in universes.
    Regards,
    Stratos
    PS: An option is to deploy a BOBJ rapid mart. Please note that in this case you require the BOBJ Data services (ETL) tools. The idea behind the SAP ERP related rapid marts is that in the first step the data are extracted from your SAP ERP sources and load them into a relational database (using a predifined DWH scheme). Additionally the package provides you with universes (which rely on this predefined DWH scheme) and use the database as data sources, here your SAP ERP data were extracted to.

  • Connecting BO universes with SAP on a SQL server database

    Hello,
    The aim is to make a secured connection between a BusinessObjects universe and an SAP system that runs on a SQL server database.
    We will have in the nearby future 1 SAP system for several customers (SAP in the clouds). For those customers we want to maintain their BusinessObjects connection with the SAP system as it is for the moment. This means that the customers who are working with their current BO system (5.1.6) connect for the moment between BusinessObjects and their local SAP system  via the universe connection (Oracle driver and user). These customers should connect in the nearby future to a central SAP system and only be able to see the data of their own company (based on a client number). Iu2019m wondering if we could use the SAP-authorisation mechanism in order to do so. This would mean that we define an SAP user in SAP and that we define the same user in BusinessObjects and that there is a layer in between (cfr. The sap java connector) that allows a secure connection for a client to only its specific data (based on client number f.i.)
    Can you tell me if there exists already a solution for this for BO 5.1.6 or what is the pre-requisite in order to do so. I know that the Best Practices of SAP-Bo use already this kind of mechanism but then we talk about BO XI 3.0 and ECC 6.0 linked via a Java Connector. Does there already exists something like that for the connection between an SAP system (on a SQL server database) and a BusinessObjects 5.1.6 system.
    Thanks in advance for your answer.
    Thierry Renaer

    Hello,
    Thank you for your reply. And what about BO XI 3.0? What should we be using?
    Ik have been using the SAP Java Connector but I'm wondering if there exists more user friendly (read easily adaptable) tools in order to provide a secure connection between SAP BO XI 3.0 and SAP ECC.
    Many regards
