Data Insertion in BPC.

Dear Experts!
I am New to BPC.
I have a Data file something like below:
Account,Entity,Category,Time,Amount
Bills,Inr,Budget,2009.Jan,777
Here, "Amount" is taking only "numeric" values. Can i enter "Characters" for Amount.
Is there any other way to enter user defined "Character" input.
Actually, my requirement is I have enter numerics through "Amount" & I have to enter characters in to database.
Please help,
Thanks,
Satish.

Hi Satish, this is an interesting question and as Michaela points out, Comments should be used to store non numeric data elements.
However, your question makes me wonder what exectly do you want to enter characters for ? How would your use of characters for an amount be defined ? In case you would like to tell something about the amount (like the 100 for write-off is due to a customer not paying any bills), then you would use comments. I can imagine however that you want to use characters for sanother reason like adding new memebers to the database, but then you have to follow a different procedure.
So please explain to what other use of characters you are thinking about.
Best regards,
Edwin van Geel

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 Collection in BPC

Hi,
How does the Data Collection(UCMON tcode) works in BPC?. Do we have any standard Data Manager Package to do the Data Collection?.How can we achieve this
Would appreciate your time and response.
Thanks.

Hi,
First, I am not sure what does the tcode that you mentioned does. There is no such code in BPC as far as iam aware.
Regarding the data collection into BPC application (in other words a cube) -
You could have a flat file approach - Upload the flat file into BPC file service using upload data file - and then using standard import data manager package - you could import the data into BPC application. You need to define and use the BPC transoformations and conversions (if any) in the import process. These are nothing but the files.
Alternatively, you could also load the data directly from the BW infocube or even from a multi-provider. There is a separate data manager package to do this.
You could also collect data into BPC through input schedules.
You have the advantage of triggering the default logic while collecting the data which would apply your business logic on the data before it is saved to the database.
Hope the above gives some insight to you.
Thanks

Customizing data insert from

I have a data insert from that is solely used to insert data in a database. I am trying to figure out a way to customize it such that a few file get auto filled. I use the form to insert data in a table called maintable. 8 of the 10 field of this maintable filled from different vendor's table(currently i manaully put it). What I like to do is see if I can integrate the vendor's table in the page and write codes to autofill the form that put the data in the maintable. I know maybe a while statement will do it. So if in the form I input vendor's name and product id. it will get the data from vendor's table and relavent product to fill rest of the field. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated as I am very new to web development and don't have much experince in PHP codes.
Thanks

Maybe u can try like this. Assuming you have two inputs in form which I have assigned as below
$product_id = $_POST['pid'];
$vendor = $_POST['vendor_name'];
Then do check for vendor name input.
if(isset($_POST['vendor_name') && !empty($_POST['vendor_name'])) {
$query = " SELECT * FROM vendor WHERE vendor_name = '$vendor' ";
$query2 = mysql_query($query, $databaseName) or die(mysql_error);
$vendor = mysql_fetch_assoc($query2);
} else echo 'Vendor name doesn't exists';
$var = $vendor['var'];
assign for the rest values u want to store in maintable
//do insert record
$insert = INSERT INTO maintable .... VALUES ('$vendor', '$var',.....)

How to undo data upload in BPC

Hi All,
I have inadvertently uploaded "Actual" data file in BPC with the wrong year, i.e. the Actuals data file should have 2008 as the year, but instead it has 2009 as the year.
Please suggest what would be the best way to fix it.
Is there any way to delete Transactions data in BPC?
I also tried to look the option of using journal for fixing this issue, but every time I try to open an existing or new journal, I get the message that I do not have any authorization for this module.
I am working in a sandbox /Demo enviornment with only one user, and that user is the Primary Admin/System Admin and has all accesses.
Can anyone throw some light as to why I might be getting this error message.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Hi Anurag,
For deleting the existing data goto datamanger-Run datamanger- select clear function from data manager package.
Delete your existing data based upon the parameters.
Incase of journal posting you dont have sutorizatiion, check Task profile in your security settings.
Ensure creation of journal wizard before going forward the journal.
For your current issue journal posting is not correct option.

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.

How to Load External Data to SAP BPC using SAP BO Data Services

Hi,
We want to load data from an external MS SQL Server DB to SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC 7.5 Netweaver version) using SAP BO Data Services 4.0 as ETL. What is the best way to load data to SAP BPC using Data Services?
Thanks

Hello Devi,
There are three ways you can load Master Data in BPC
1) Copy and paste.
Download master data in flat file .Copy the master data and paste in members of dimension after that process the dimension.
2) Using SISS Pakage - load Flat File into BPC-Cube
3) Using SQL Command.
Thanks.

Combo Box doesn't persist data insertion settings

Hi,
I'm simply trying to setup a combo box that places the selected label into a destination table cell. I've tried about every combination possible to simply add a data insertion series. Please note, I AM clicking the plus button to add it to the list shown to the left of the settings. Unfortunately, everytime I have the series added and I click away from the selected combo box it loses the settings I just provided.
Has anybody else had these frustrating issues with the combo box component?
Thank you.

Greg,
The combo box component can be a bit fiddly at times. It would help if you let me know which version of Xcelsius you are using.
In any case if you are simply trying to insert the label to a destination you dont need to bother with the series at all. Try it in this order:
1) Drag a combo box component
2) In combo box properties pane and click on the range select button beside Labels
3) Select the range in your excel sheet that has the labels and click OK
4) Go back to the properties pane and choose Insertion Type: Label
5) Click the range select button beside Destination and select a cell
6) To test it drag a Text -> Label compoent in and point it to the destination cell you selected in step 5.
7) Preview to see if all is in order
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers,
Ryan

SQL server Timeout issue in data insertion

We are loading data from DB2 database to SQL server using Data flow task. During data insertion in SQL server, we are receiving the below error.
"An exception has occurred during data insertion, the message returned from the provider is: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Kindly help to resolve this issue.

Exception has occurred during data insertion ... Wrong number of parameters

I am using an ADO dataflow source and an ADO dataflow destination to move data from a table on an IBM iSeries DB2 database to another IBM iSeries DB2 database on another machine. The connection managers for source and destination both use .Net Providers\Odbc
Data Provider with the Data Source Specification being ODBC connections specified on the Windows Server 2008 r2 machine hosting bids. All the test connections work...so far so good.
Issue is when I execute the control flow task the rows get picked up from the source DB2 database no problem but it fails on the insert to the destination DB2 table...The progress tab specifies the exceptions...
[ADO NET Destination [601]] Error: An exception has occurred during data insertion, the message returned from the provider is: ERROR [07002] [IBM][System i Access ODBC Driver]Wrong number of parameters.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "ADO NET Destination" (601) failed with error code 0xC020844B while processing input "ADO NET Destination Input" (604). The identified
component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the
failure.
I put a data viewer on the data flow connection and the records I expect are getting picked up and look ok. I checked to make sure the source and destination tables have the same number of columns in their record layout and identical data
types and they look fine.
Could someone kindly tell me whats going wrong? Does the error message indicate that some of the columns are getting dropped from the dataset before the insert?
Thanks much in advance for any help, Roscoe

Hi Roscoe,
Glad to hear that you have found the root cause. So, the issue occurs because numeric values with no decimal cannot be inserted into the Decimal data type column in the DB2 table. In SSIS, data type Decimal of DB2 database is mapped to data type DT_NUMERIC.
To address the issue, you can do a data conversion for the column in question to define its precision and scale such as DT_NUMERIC(9,2) by using the Data Conversion Transformation before the ADO NET Destination.

Disabling data insertion in WFTASKHISTORY

Hi
In Orabpel.WFTaskPkg .. a procedure called 'updateTask' is defined;
In the procedure following line is executed :
IF p_IsVersionable = BOOLEAN_TRUE_STRING THEN
createHistory(p_taskID);
END IF;
It inserts a record in the WFTASKHISTORY table if p_IsVersionable = true....
Is it possible to set the value of 'p_IsVersionable' so that I can control the data insertion in WFTASKHISTORY table ? Any pointer will be helpful!!
Thanks
