Data from SAP into BPC

What is the best way to get data from SAP into BPC?What about getting data from BPC (like a template) into back into SAP?

Hi Sam,
Please find here the steps you should do
Step#1: In SAP With the help of ABAP program update data into a table.
Step#2: In regular interval pull data from SAP table to BPC staging tables in SQL server.
Step#3: Run import data manager package to update FACT tables from BPC staging tables on demand.
This is the best way and best approach to pull data from SAP to BPC.
Thanks and Regards,

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,
George

Upload data from SAP R/3 to BPC

Hi Expert
We need to upload data from SAP R/3 Payroll to BPC into to use in a butget process. We actived 0HR_PY_1 extractor and we have data at PCA area. My question is how i can to load this data into a appset in BCP.
Please give any idea to do that.
Thanks

Hi,
There are multiple ways of extracting data from ECC to BPC.
If you have SAP BW implemented for your HR area then you can load data from SAP BW info provider to SAP BPC.
check out the following thread.... all these things are already widely discussed in the forum.... all thats required is to search.....
you have got to use Transformation and conversion files.....
[How to load Transaction Data from BW to BPC]
If SAP BW is not implemented then the other way is to extract the payroll data into Flat files and use the data manager package to upload the data.... you got to prepare transformation and conversion files for this as well.
Directly from ECC is not possible as of now.....

Surya Tamada.

Loading Chart of Accounts from SAP into Account dim in BPC automatically

Hi,
for my client I would like to take a predefined flat file from SAP containing chart of account details (account id, description and parent) and load and process them automatically using dtsx packages in BPC 7.0 MS.
Also, I want the package to able to be able to change details when it finds an already existing account id (e.g. if the description changes) and only for the properties contained in the flat file (i.e. keep the property values the same in BPC for those properties which are not in the extract for existing account records), or to add new accounts for those that don't exist. I don't want the existing dimension completely replaced, as the SAP file won't contain info for fields like ACCTYPE, or TYPEELIM for example.
I find the help in Data Manager extremely confusing and am not sure which bits are current or have been superceeded.
I am an application consultant with limited knowledge of DTS/ SSIS and I wonder if someone can give me a step by step detail of what I must do to achieve this. I am sure that many people would like to do something similar.
regards
Scott.

Here is what you need to do in the SSIS package.
1. You need to create exactly same structure as MBRAccount Table. Let's say tmpMBRAccount
2. Export Account data from SAP as FlatFile
3. You need a Script to fill in ACCTYPE or other properties that doesn't exist in SAP but mandatory for BPC account dimension. This script will change exported Flatfile.
4. Import step3 flatfile into tmpMBRAccount table.
    Some users import data into MBRtable directly but it is not good because if error happens,
    there is no way to roll back until restore table from backup database.
    If users use temporary table as we do, Admin task will backup and roll back if error happens.
5. Run Admintask and point tmpMBRAccount table as source table.
6. You need another script to update Excel member sheet from updated mbr table.
    If you don't have this script, data member will be inconsistent between excel member sheet and MBR table.
Some customer add more steps to validate members or error handling.
If you are not an expert of SSIS, I think you need a technical consultant for doing this.
There are an example package in BPC sample package folder but it is very basic one.
Thank you.

Data (Master Data Changes and Transaction Data) from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1

Hi guys
I have seen posts on this forum describing data transfers from SAP R/3 to SAP BPC. I assume the procedure for data transfers from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1 should be the same i.e. using SSIS packages.
However I have some unique requirements -
1. DATA AT DIFFERENT AGGREGATED LEVELS - I need data from SAP BW at different levels - Some data comes at Product level while other at Customer level and some at Project Level. The current procedure takes BW queries output in excel sheets (6 files) and then use the data manager package to load the data in SAP BPC 5.1 using appropriate transformation and conversion files. This procedure is highly manual and I am looking at using SSIS package to do this. However, because of having data at different levels, it becomes a little tricky. How can we achieve this using SSIS?
2. UPDATING MASTER DATA - I need to update the master data (dimension members) in SAP BPC 5.1 at the start of every month. The current procedure compares (in MS ACCESS) the data from the queries mentioned in 1 to the dimension members in SAP BPC 5.1 and spits a file with the new entries which needs to be manually updated in the appropriate dimensions using Admin Console. I am looking at automating this task. I cannot just replace all the contents of a dimension with the members coming from SAP BW since the dimension members contains some dummy members which are used for planning.
3. HIERARCHY CHANGES - What is the best way to capture the hierarchy changes in SAP BW into SAP BPC 5.1?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi Ameya,
how did you solve the described problems? Can you give some hints about uploading master data and updating the hierarchy?
BR, André

BPC Error while loading master data from SAP BW

Hello Guru,
I have NW BPC 7.5 installed on BW server. Currently i have started to work on one application where i have to load master data first. I am loading master data for cost center.
I looked into the process chain "BPC: Import BW InfoObject master data" and i found that few processes are in GREEN color and few are in RED color (Display). is that correct or not ? then as per some of the thread i went to "BPC: Convert BW infoObject master data" --> SOURCE_TYPE = IP and added one parameter "FORMULA_FILE_NO". Then i saved this process chain and activated it.
I created transformation file in BPC and it got created successfully but while i try to load packages it throws me error.
Q. Do i need to have entire process chain with all processes in GREEN to have the master data in BPC ?
Q. Do i need to activate any BADI's for this or not ?
I appreciate your help in advance. I trie

Hello Guru,
Currently i am getting below error while loading costcenter master data from BW to BPC.

Extraction of data from SAP R/3 Bapi into SAP BW

hi,
i am extracting data from sap r/3 bapi into sap bw. can u please send me the link and documents of how to extract the data from bapi to sap bw.
Answers will be rewarded
Thanks
sd shahid

Hi Swapnali,
In your case you have to send process order to XI and you have a bapi that satisfies your requirement.
Here the solution depends what is the triggerring point of the Interface.
If you want that from SAP side Interface should be triggered, then Use ABAP proxy program
You have to craete a Abap proxy class using outbound message interafce defined in IR of XI.This can be done by transaction SPROXY.
Then create a program that call sync/async method that is created by Sproxy t.code.
In this way , when u will execute the proxy program in R/3 , then call will be made to BAPI in Sap from XI server and u will get output back to your proxy program.
If your requirement is to not to trigger from SAP then nothing is required in R/3 side.
In XI , Bapi will be added in imported objects in Integration repository and bapi will be called.
Hope this will help u.
Please revert in case of queries.
Regards,
Monica

Tough Ask..
Because i have done dashboarding thru scritping (Dyanamic fashion tough) ..It is very good ..But when, coming to the one you asked i have the idea how it works but cannot really tell you wich would be better.
Each Route has its own limitations.That really depends on what exaclty your client is looking after..
So if you new to xcelsius and eager to learn ..I suggest you to give a go at all those..May be you can let me know wich is the best one..
1. QAWS,
2. Bex Query --> Crystal Reports --> Live office --> DashBoard.
3. Bex Query --> WebI --> Live Office --> Dashboard..
4. Webservices consuming BI Query,
5. Xcelsius SAP Netwever Connector.
But i suggest as of now use Xcelsius SAP netweaver Connnection...

How to Extract Data from SAP and Load it into Essbase

Hi All,
Can you recommend some ways to extract data from SAP and load it into Essbase?. I have no knowledge about SAP, not sure how I can perform this task. Can I use ODI for this job?
Thanks

hi,
Not sure if this helps but give a try
you can create connection from EAS to SAP .. using a plug-in .. if you have access to oracle Support go for [ID 968961.1]
or
below are steps
1. In EASPATH\console, open components.xml in a text editor.
2. Under <PluginList>, enter <Plugin archiveName="SAP" packageName="com.essbase.eas.sap.ui"/> before the closing </PlugIn> tag.
3. Save and close the file.
4. In EASPATH\console\bin, open admincon.lax in a text editor.
5. Search for lax.class.path= and append ;..\lib\sap_client.jar;..\lib \sap_common.jar to the entry. Save and close the file.
6. In EASPATH\server\bin, open adminsvr.lax in a text editor.
7. Search for lax.nl.java.option.additional, and append -DRFC_INI=EASPATH\server\saprfc.ini. Save and close the file.
8. Create a new environment variable, RFC_INI, with a value of EASPATH\server\saprfc.ini
9. Copy librfc.dll andsapjcorfc.dll to EASPATH\server\bin. You may need to obtain these files from SAP.
let me know if it works :)

Tools to Auto load bulk data from SAP BW into Essbase?

Does any one know what is the most efficient way to retrieve a large amount of data from SAP BW into Essbase on a regular basis? We currenly export data from BW into several Excel files, which has the limitation of 64k row in a batch, we then load the excel files into essbase usng rules files. And it's a manual process. Do you know if there is a better tool/approach that we can use to do the data retrieve and load into essbase in one batch without need of human interference? Thanks for your good ideas!

you can use HAL to do the extraction and loading data from SAP. did you try this?

Error loading data from BW to BPC with standard package

Hi experts,
A big part of our solution is pulling actuals from BW into BPC. To do so we use the standard SAP package "Load InfoProvider Selections" which calls the process chain /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROV_UI.
We have migrated our environment to BPC 10 and tried to run this process and are now getting the following error:
“ Task name CONVERT:
No 1 Round:
An exception with the type CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT occurred, but
was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause
System expected element 'Selections' ”
We have tested and this is happening with all data loading packages. It appears as though it is expecting a "selection" parameter, but selections have definitely been made. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any idea how to resolve it?
Best,
Chris

Issue while loading master data from BI7 to BPC

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to load master data from BI7 to BPC NW using scenario 2 mentioned in the below document.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00380440-010b-2c10-70a1-e0b431255827
My requirement is need to load 0GL_ACCOUNT attribute and text data from BI7 system to BPC.
1.As mentioned in the How to...doc I had created a dimension called GL_ACCOUNT using BPC Admin client .
2.Able to see GL_ACCOUNT in RSA1, when I try to create a Transformation(step 17 , page-40) to load Attribute data I could not find source of transformation object as 0GL_ACCOUNT(which exist in BI7) . I could only able to see only dimensions available in BPC system when I click F4 in Name.
What could be the reason to not getting BI infoobject as source in BPC?
Thanks in advance...
regards,
Raju

Dear Gurus,
My issue got resolved. So far I'm trying to pull data from R/3>BW>BPC. In the existing land scape BW and BPC are 2 different boxes. That is the reason I couldn't able to see BW objects into BPC (since 2 are different boxes). To resolve the issue I have created a new infoobect (RSD1) in BPC and data loading is from R/3>BPC infoobject(which is created through RSD1)>BPC Dimension.
Thanks and regards,
Raju
