Data export from BPC 7.5 NW

I have created and validated my transformation file, which takes two dimensions and concatenates them. For example Company and ProfitCenter, in the mapping section:
U_Entity=Company+ProfitCenter.
Where my company = 5110 and my profit center = SVS8110
The records are validated and in my output file I can see 5110SVS8110 and the associated transaction data.
However, in the *Conversion section of the Transformation file I reference the conversion file
U_Entity=U_EntityConv.XLS
Within the Conversion file, in the internal column I have 5110SVS8110, and in the external column I have UKSERVCO.
Both files are validated, but when I run the export transaction data package, the output file doesn't include UKSERVCO
In BPC 420 training it says *Conversion can be used to convert external keys from the flat file to internal keys. But can it convert internal keys to external keys in the flat file? If so, what do I need to do here?
Thanks.

Hi,
have you tried to invert the column values?
Kind regards

Automatise data export from website

Hello,
I stuck with an issue regarding data export from scopus.com. I have 61 keywords for which I want to export (as csv) number of documents by year, country, document type, subject area. Doing that by hand would be extremely tedious. Thus my question if this can be automatised. Unfortunately scopus does not provide an API to access the data directly.
So, the process to be automatised would be:
1. Open http://www.scopus.com/home.url
2. Enter the keyword in "search for"
3. Click on "search"
4. Click on "Analyze results"
5. Click on tab "year" and "export". Save the file
6. Click on tab "country" and "export". Save the file
6. Click on tab "document type" and "export". Save the file
6. Click on "subject area" and "export". Save the file
Do programs exist that help me retrieving the data?
Thanks!

You could achieve your goal with bash and wget with some combination of --save-cookies --post-data.
But be aware that scopus is run by Elsevier, whom many view as the most evil of the publishing companies. Think twice before doing something that may annoy them.

Data Retractors from BPC 7.5 to ECC 6.0

We are looking for customers who can share infomation that have successfully built automated data retractors from BPC 7.5 to ECC 6.0.
There is one whitepaper titled "How to... Retract data from BPC 7.5 NetWeaver to SAP ERP Cost Center Accounting, Part I" posted back in July of 2010?
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c029accf-6d95-2d10-79aa-cc291180bf73
This document is a template that has some assumptions built into it for it to work. I know customers will have different requirements, but I would like any comments from anyone who is "Live" with this. How long it took to develop and any issues that you encountered? How often do you run the retractor?
We are also looking at moving parts of the budget in BPC back into Cost Based PA. Can anyone share their experience in creating this retractor (interface) as well?
Thanks in advance,
Steve Boening

Data load from BPC into BI 7 cubes for Bex reporting

Hi,
Can we pull BPC planning data into the BI cubes so that Bex reports can be created for combined data from BPC cubes and BI cubes?
Also can we create Bex reports on BPC cubes just like we create for BI reporting cubes?
Let me also give an example of the scenario we face.
We have actuals data in a BI 7 basic cube(Actuals cube). Planning is done in BPC, so I understand that the planned data gets automatically stored in a BPC cube in BI7 system. I want to load the data from this BPC cube to BI Actuals cube and create a combined Bex report to show actuals and plan data.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Archana

AS of now, if you report data in the BPC7NW cubes through BEx, you may not get the same result as you get from BPC reports. The reason being BEx won't do the same calculations (for example sign reversals) that BPC client would do. In addition, you won't be able to report the results of the dimension member formulas when you report through BEx. If you have to get data out from BPC cubes to other cubes, you can go through SQE (shared query engine) and that way, yyour results will match with what you get in BPC reports. Once you get data out through SQE into other cubes, you can use BEx to report if you wish.
More functionality will be available in near future to accomplish BEx reporting for BPC data.

Automate data load from BPC cube to BW cube

Hi Gurus,
I've got all my budgeting & forecasting data in BPC cube. Now I need to load it to a BW cube and combine with Actuals in another BW cube through Multiprovider and build reports on the multiprovider.
My question is:
What is the best way to automate the loading process of BPC cube data to BW cube ??
I should also be able to load the property values of BPC dimensions to the BW info objects.
The methods I followed are:
1. Run "Export" data package and load BPC data to a CSV file and run BW DTP/infopackage to process the CSV file into BW cube. Problem with this is - I canot automate these two steps, and even if I did, I cannot export property values to a flat file.
2. Build transformations directly from BPC cube to an Infosource and from Infosource to BW cube. Problem with this is - in the transformations I cannot use the rule: "Read Master Data". I may have to write a routine, but my ABAP is not good enuf.
Please help with an alternative solution
Thanks,
Venkat

Thanks for the reply. I know I will have more options if I'm BPC 7.5 NW. But I'm on BPC 7.0 NW.
I managed to pull the attribute values of BPC dimensions using routines. But still it's risky because the tech names of BPC objects may change if one modifies the dimensions or run optimization.
It's a shame SAP haven't provided a robust solution to load BPC cube data to BW cube data.
I don't want to load BW cube data to BPC cube and depend on EVDRE reports for my 'Plan vs Actual' reports. I (and end users) always want to lean towards BEx reports.

Data export from unicode SAP to AIX file shows strange characters in vi

Hello SAP experts,
We have a SAP ECC 6.0 system, Unicode. When we export data from the SAP system to a textfile on AIX and we do a vi on the file the character ë is printed as: Ã«
We installed the bos.loc.utf.NL_NL package on AIX to no avail.
Any insights you can offer will be much appriciated.

Thanks for your explanation. It helped me understand better the way ODI works.
Does the pattern has a period '.' in front of it too? I am trying to run a job to load data from flat file to a RDBMS table and one of the steps in which I am getting error is
Code:
create table .C$_0TRG_SALES_PERSON
     C1_SALES_PERSON_ID     NUMBER(8) NULL,
     C2_FIRST_NAME     VARCHAR2(80) NULL,
     C3_LAST_NAME     VARCHAR2(80) NULL,
     C4_DATE_HIRED     VARCHAR2(80) NULL
Error message:
903 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00903: invalid table name
I tried running the above piece of code directly on TOAD and I got the same error message - Invalid table name ?
Any idea why the period is getting pre-fixed ? Anyway to remove this ?
Appreciate your help.

Wrong data export from ID to PS

Hallo,
I have a strange problem pasting placed eps images in ID back to PS.
If I mark (correct name, path and image look) placed eps images in ID CS4 and paste them into a new file at PS wrong images show up! They exist in the same document but are other than marked. But in the created PDF file everything is OK.
On the other hand, if I open the same created PDF file with IL and mark the same images and past them to PS the correct images are shown???? What can be the reason?
Thanks for any comment.
Regards Edzard

By "mark" do you mean select?
Presuming you do, you should not attempt to copy/paste the image from ID to Photoshop. Instead select "edit original" from the context menu or the links panel. That will open the selected image. You may need to use "edit with...) instead if the wrong editing application opens using edit original.
I really don't know why the wrong data would be opening in Photoshop. Is the correct image highlighted inthe links panel? If so, is this happening in all documents, or just a particualr file? You might want to try the links listed in the "Troubleshooting 101" box at the top of the discussions page, up a level from here.
It may also have to do with .eps which is an archaic format for working in ID and is known to cause problems from time to time. Saving as .psd or .tif instead should fix that sort of issue.

Data Export From InDesign CS6 to Excel Please Help

Hi!
I need to export text from a 416 page catalog into an excel document. The text is formatted with paragraph and character style sheets, but the text frames do not link together. Or is there a way to export the text from InDesign with the page number into a text file, then the text file into an Excel document. Thank you so much for your help!

That is not possible. You're going from a "smart" layout application to a dumb one.
I don't think you could even place it as a PDF file of the text into Word and have it work.

BPC10 - Data manager package for dimension data export and import

Dear BPC Expers,
Need your help.
I am trying to set up a data manager package for first time to export dimension - master data from one application and import in another application ( both have same properties) .
I created a test data manager package from Organize > add package > with process chain /CPMB/EXPORT_MD_TO_FILE and Add
In the advance tab of each task there are some script logic already populated. please find attached the details of the script logic written under each of the tasks like MD_Source, concvert and target .
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
I have not changed anything there
in the next prmpt , it ask for a output file ..and it won't allow me enter the file name .....i
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 .
What are the steps to be executed to run the package for exporting master data from dimension and import it another application .
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
Thanks and Regards,
Ramanuj

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.

Arabic support in isqlplus after import export from 7.3.4 to 10.2.0.3

CANNOT DISPLAY ARABIC IN ISQL*PLUS(JUNK). APPLICATION WORKS FINE WITH ARABIC
with Taret DB char set to US7ASCII the data is always junk old data +new inserted arabic data inserted thro isqlplus or sqlplus.
with AR8MSWIN1256 the old data(imported in to new db from old 7.3.4 db export dump) is displayed as junk (what ever in the db) and after creating a new table data inserted, the arabic display is fine.
How to overcome the problem of displaying old data? we have lots of data for migration.
Thanks

Small correction
In DB with Char set to AR8MSWIN1256.......
Old data exported from 7.3.4 and imported in new 10.2.0.3 db is showing arabic char as junk
But new table created and data inserted as arabic is displaying properly.
What has to be done such that old imported data displays arabic.
We are using isqlplus and sqlplus to query the data
Thanks

Next to Only Export Base-level Transaction Data from BPC 7.5 NW

Hey Experts,
I've finally got a Export process configured out of Data Manager that is just about right. However, when I run it, we're getting both base-level trasnaction data and records at the parent level for 2-3 dimensions which we need to specify as "<ALL>".
Is there any way to filter or restrict the output for just the base-level members?
Thanks in advance,
Garrett

Hi Gersh,
I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. To clarify, the trouble I'm having is when Running a Data Manager package from BPC Excel, I can't select just the base level members from clicking the Member Selector and doing Refresh/Use Filter.
The system seems like it accepts this selection, but does not apply it when running the package.
Does that make sense?

Remove 0 records when Exporting TXN data from BPC

BPC Experts,
I m trying to export transaction data from BPC from one MODEL , While exporting i wanted to ignore the records whose aggregated value is zero for the dimension member combination.
Where i can restrict or set , EXPORT only for SIGNED DATA <> 0.

Hi,
Performance point of view optimization is required. As i mentioned in previous post lite optimization Closes the open request, compresses without Zero-Elimination and indexes the cube, and updates database statistics for the BW Info-Cube.
As per my understanding there are no such prerequisite , but for safer side you can process all dimension of model.
Also go through the links that are shared. If you required more details you can search on forum. There are lot of threads on lite optimization.

Export Master Data from BPC to BW

I am about embark on creating a solution to export master data from BPC to BW (NW7SP6) and I was wondering if anyone out there has covered this ground previously and has any information on this process that they wish to share?

As of now, you could export the dimension memebr data and upload to BW info object; you may be able to do it with data manager / process chain.

Send Data from BPC to BW

Hi All,
We have a requirement to send the data from BPC->BW for reporting in BW. I am using the APD technique to do the same. My question is will this method be affected if the corresponding application in BPC on which the export query is built be full optimized?. Please explain me the pros and cons of this methodology.
Thanks in advance,
Vinod.

Hi,
In your case, there is nothing to worry about.
When you have more than 13 dimensions (BW characteristics), the system tries to combine these characteristics into BW dimensions (different from BPC dimensions). There might be few characteristics (BPC dimensions) clubbed together into a single BW dimension. And in this case, the cube is re-designed and the technical name changes.
However, since you have 13 dimensions, there is nothing to worry.
Hope this helps.
