Data Manager Clear Package - VBA Automation Parameters

Hello guys,
I have built an input sheet, where the user selects members from BPC dimensions (ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT, ACTIVITY,ASSET, etc.). Next, the user clicks on the "Clear Data" button, which triggers a VBA macro (EPM_Clear). This macro should call the BPC clear package and clear the transactional data for the selected members.
I have two problems:
1) How do I pass on the previously selected parameters (i.e. which dimensions to clear) from VBA to the clear package?
2) When I use the following code, it says ‘Package not found’ .
VBA Code:
Private Sub RunPackage_Click()
Dim EPMObj As FPMXLClient.EPMAddInDMAutomation
Set EPMObj = New EPMAddInDMAutomation
EPMObj.DataManangerRunPackage ”Clear”, ”DataManagement”, ””
End Sub
Thank you and best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Kindly refer yser guide it says if you change value SELECTPROMPT () to "1" it will take into account the context member.

Data manager- Clear Package comments

Hi,
1) I have an Input Schedule template (SAP BPC 5.1) with amount and few keyin comments, I was successful in clearing all the data related to amount column using Clear Package. I have few Keyin Comments in the same input schedule those are not getting cleared.
I checked the Report I could see the comment in the report and amount has got cleared.
I tried running another clear package with same selection criteria, but the job cancelled immediately. Please Let me know how can I clear the comments.
2) Also how can we see the multiple comments for a single costcenter. In report I could see (eg: Asset Description.....(3) they are overlapped, I want to see all Asset Descripton 1,2,3). How to do this.
Thank you,
Regards

Dear Vijay Venkatesh,
When You cleaned up data using Data Manager - Clear Package, you should choose "Yes" on the first option.
I have suggest to clean comment directly using Ms.SQL Server. Please you use the delete query statement in table "dbo.CommentFinance". The table name format is "dbo.comment<application name>".
I hope my information can help you.
Thanks,

BPC NW 10.0 - Data Manager Prompt changing from SELECTINPUT to SELECT cleared values

Dear BPC Experts,
We recently went from SP13 patch 4 to SP19 patch 1. When we made changes in the PROMPT values in the Data Manager Organize>Package>Modify Script>PROMPT, we experienced different behavior switching from SELECTINPUT to SELECT in our development system than we did in our production environment. In development, when we changed the value from SELECTINPUT to SELECT, the values entered for Variable name such as %SELECTION% in Property1 and "Select the members to CLEAR" in Property2, and %DIMS% remained. However, when we changed from SELECTINPUT to SELECT in production system, the values for Variable Names and Properties were cleared out. Does anyone know why in our developmet system values were kept but not in our production system during this type of activity? I would like to understand the two different behaviors and what controlled it. We prefer not to have the values for Properties clear.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Lisa

Hi Vadim,
Excellent point, I should have included images as that likely would have shown this odd behavior.
When I made the changes in our development system to a package to switch from SELECTINPUT to SELECT the values outlined in the image below were retained for Varialbe Name, Property 2, and Property 3 after we applied the SP19 patch 1.
When I made the same change in our system to a package in our production system after we applied the SP19 patch 1, the values for Varialbe Name, Property 2, and Property 3 were cleared per the image below. The odd thing is that initially it looked like the values stayed. It was only after you saved and went back in did you see that the values were gone.
Any help in understanding this behavior change would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lisa

Run SSIS Package (SQL Database on Different Server) from Data Manager.

Hi- How to run a SSIS package from BPC Data Manager -This package connects to another SQL Server Database and creates a text file. This text file is the source to BPC custom tasks CONERTTASK and DUMPLOAD task to load to BPC.
Here is the flow of the complete package- Dataflow (Create the text file from a SQL Database)
CONVERT TASK (Convert the file to BPC Format)
DUMPLOAD TASK (Load the converted file to BPC)
Any pointer will be a great help.

Hello Pam,
When you run SSIS package with BPC DM it runs on the application server. You don't really have to run a package on a different server in order to get data from a remote database and dump it to a file. That task can be done in your SSIS package using various data sources/destinations. If that's what you are trying to do. The only thing is, your BPC admin user (the one you used to install BPC) has to have an appropriate privileges on a remote server.
Hope that helps.

Akim

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!

You can greatly improve your chance of receiving a helpful answer to your question if you state the version (MS or NW) and the release (5.1, 7.0, 7.5) of BPC which you are using.
Also notice the sticky [note|Please do not post BPC, SSM or FI/CO questions here!; at the top of this forum whereby we announced new dedicated forums for BPC which are the proper place to post your questions regarding BPC in the future to be able to reach the right audience for your question.

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.

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.

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.

I know there is data in this section of the database as I am running a report which looks at the same place and data can be found. From looking at other threads it has been recomended to turn off Data Audit. I've checked this and can confirm that this is switched off for this particular application (in other applications it is swithced on).
Please can someone advise what else I need to do in order to run this clear package successfully.
Thanks,
Jamie

Thanks Roberto
Having just read that thread I see that they mention that they are not clearing from a calculated member. I think the member we have been trying to clear from is a calculated one.
Would a clear from fact table allow us to clear the data against this member? Or would we need to clear the data against the non-calculated members which go into the calculation?
Kind Regards,
Jamie
UPDATE
I've managed to run the clear package, I was trying getting this error because I was running it against calculated members. When I chnaged it to run against the non-calculated members the package ran successfully and cleared the data values.
Thanks for your 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 Manager Parameters

Hi All,
I need to copy data from one member to multiple members (to be selected dynamically) using script logic and data manager package.
Below is the script I am using
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=%TIME_SET%
*WHEN TIME
*IS *
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%,TIME=%TIME_SET%)
*ENDWHEN
I want to pass the parameters both source and destination(multiple members) to passed using data manager package.
I am stuck with data manager script, kindly provide help in resolving this issue.

Hi Maheedhar,
don't forget to add the version of BPC you are using, MS or NW.
What dimension with multiple members you need to use in the script?
Is this above the whole script?

(SELECTINPUT,%VER%,,"Select Account",%ACCOUNT_DIM%)
(Execute sp_ver_copy,SqlStatementSource,exec dbo.sp_ver_copy2 '%VER%')
We also tried with writing GLOBAL(VER,%VER%) instead of -- (Execute sp_ver_copy,SqlStatementSource,exec dbo.sp_ver_copy2 '%VER%')
But that also dosent work.
We need to use the parameters passed, in SQL code that we have written in OLE DB source, under data flow task.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Roberto for reply.
Please find the screenprint as per your suggestion. Also I have mentioned the code in above question. We are using the stored procedure to write the value into a table , passed from front end. We are able to write the value passed from front end into a table. So it means that system is passing the value.
But when I try to bring same value into the data task flow , system is throwing a error. The description of error is also mentioned below.
Kindly advise.
Error Description in DM package:
Description = Executing the query "exec dbo.sp_ver_copy2 'Account'" failed with the following error: "An error occurred while extracting the result into a variable of type (DBTYPE_STR)". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

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.

Preview transformation file in data manager package

Dear BPC Experts,
When we try to preview Tranformation file while running data manager package to import transaction data from BW, we are getting following error. We do not get this error if we use load from flat file package.
We are on BPC 10 PS06, EPM Add-in SP14 patch3.
Has anybody seen this issue before? We can paste the entire log if required.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

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.
