Data manager option to Append or Add NW Infocube values to BPC CUBE.

HI ,
Merge and Replace optios are just to replace old values with new values. but my requirement is to add new values to old values. Data is available in BW infocube and we need to add values to BPC cube . please suggest is there any option i can use in data manager.
thanks,
Bala.

Hi,
Currently, the append option is not available while loading the BW data to BPC.
The option I see is to extract the BW data to a flat file and then upload this file in the append mode.
Hope this helps.

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

Data Manager menu option

In BPC 5.1, I had a Data Manager menu option in BPC for Excel and now it has gone. Is there some criteria that must be satisfied for an Application to enable the Data Manager option? Or might I have switched Data Mnaager off somewhere?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Al.

About what version are you speaking?
BPC 7.0 interface is the same with BPC5.1 regarding DM.
If you are not able to see some option that's measn or the client installation was not correct done or you didn't set correct the profile for you user into BPC.

BPC NW - Cannot run Data Manager

Hello,
I have recently installed the NW version of BPC in my computer, but looks the installation does not come to the right end, as I can not run all the components.
When I access the Data Manager menu, the corresponding toolbar is not installed and I have encountered the following failure scenarios when trying to access the standard menu:
1. I get a blank message when clicking on Data Manage option, whichs leads into the Data Manager Menu.
2. when clicking on the Upload data file option, it allows to select the source of the data, but I do not get any response for the destination of the file
3. When accessing the Run a data management package, I get a visual basic error:
"Run-time error 91; Object Variable or WIth Block variable not set"
4. in other options of the standard menu, I also get several error messages which do not allow to work with this menu, so data cannot be loaded into any application.
I recently installed (and uninstalled) the SQL version of BPC and was working OK; however, with the NW version it does not seem to be working properly.
I have unistalled and installed several times following the recommendations (as detailed below), but still have not succeeded.
Client Machine:
1. Uninstalled BPC for Office and BPC Administration.
2. Deleted C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\OutlookSoft folder
3. Deleted C:\Program Files\BPC folder
4. Removed the OUTLOOKSOFT entry from the registry. Start Menu \ Run \ cmd \ regedit. Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OUTLOOKSOFT folder.
5. Reboot PC.
We have also checked for note 1098742, but once installed and re-installed BPC NW it stills displays the same error message.
I have also tried note 1108598, but looks to be relevant for MS version only, and all the components are already available in my computer.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Begonia

Hi
We having the same issue of "RUN-TIME ERROR - Invalid Key" and still cannot find solution. And the other visual basic runtime error encountered along with the above mentioned is:
Automation error: The callee (Server application) not available and disappeared, all connections are invalid.

Data Manager Dynamic Script - Documents or Materials that help me to write

I need to configure a package to have input at run time for that I've to code in Data Manager Dynamic script editor. I'm newbie to SAP BPC, could anybody help me for getting some material on this area.
Thanks,
Saravana Prabhu

Hi, for information how to use MODIFYSCRIPT variable please refer to Data Manager help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/f3/ebbbb6970047d598dbd63c246c8a8c/content.htm
You will need to include prompt in your package to let end users to input the variable value and then you need to pass it to logic script using *FUNCTION instruction inside.
So in the end you should have the following lines in your MODIFYSCRIPT:
PROMPT(TEXT,%INPUTVARIABLE%,"Input variable",,"")
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\MyLogic.lgf)
TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,"*FUNCTION MYVARIABLE=%INPUTVARIABLE%")

SSIS Package Fails Immediately in Data Manager

Hey all!
I have an SSIS Package that works perfectly in my Production system. I'm currently trying to test the exact same package in my Test System. The only change I've made to the package was to change the server name to point to our Test Server.
Now, within SSIS, this Test package runs completely fine. However, when I try to run the exact same package through the Data Manager. The package Errors out immediately. Of course, BPC gives no error message at all to help troubleshoot.
Does anyone have any idea why this package would work on our Production system, but not our Test Server? Any hints on what to look for would be extremely welcome!
Thanks much!
Sean

For clarity, you have an SSIS package in production, in the DM file folders, that you are copying over to a file location in the TEST environment. Then you are adding the package via the DM interface. The saving the view. Then trying to execute the package?
-If you edit the package via the DM interface, does everything look correct, regarding settings for the package?
-Does the package have more SSIS tasks than just standard BPC tasks? Do they need to be modified for the new servers.
- WHat does the package do? Is it supposed to run logic? B/c it may need the logic statements to be validated and saved?
Please Let us know.

Hello Experts,
I am in the process of creating the Hyperion Financial Close Management (FCM) application, particularly Accounts Reconciliation Manager (ARM) version 11.1.2.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2, 64-bit Operating System (RAM is 30GB).
Now in order to perform all the data related activities on ARM, I am using FDMEE but I am not seeing the “System Settings” tab when I go to Workspace->Navigate->Administer->Data Management->Set up.
All I am seeing is the “Security Settings” tab and no "System Settings" tab.
So need your help in finding out what is that I am missing out here.
Let me know in case you need any additional information from my side.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff,

Problem in mapping from import manager to Data manager

hi friend's....I got a problem while mapping the data from import manager to Data manager .The problem is the data in import manager (i.e source hierarchy) will map to single filed in data manager ( i.e target hierarchy)..
Help me it will be great full to me
Regards
Yugandhar

Hi Ana,
If you have a hierarchy in this format:
N1            N2                 N3
A              A1                 A11
A              A2                 A21
A              A3                 A31
B              B1                 B11
Then u have to follow these steps for import.
1. Select source file and destination hierarchy table at top of import manager.
2. Go to Partitions tab (Second tab) Just above the tabs, if u click on the plus sign against your source file, you will see N1, N2 and N3. Cick on N1 and in partition tab, add N2 to right side by double clicking on N2.
3. Now add N3 to right side by double clicking on it.
4. Go to field mapping (Third tab). There you will see a field N1(Partition). Map this field to yourhierarchy field on destination side.
5. In value mapping (Below the field mapping), Expand your source hierarchy. Select all (ctrl + A). Click on "Add" button. Select "Add Branch as child" option.
6. Go to Matching tab (Fourth tab). only one field will be there. take ity on the right side. and select the import action as "Create".
7. Go to last tab. Click on import button.
Your hierarchy has been imported. You can check it in data manager (in hierarchy mode).
Hope this solves your problem.

Dheeraj.

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.

Data Manager Find- Replace

Can we do Find Replace in Data Manager, say on one field like street ?
for eg: I want to find all the "Avenue" or "avenue" and replace them with Ave
I know we can do it in Import manager, but is there a reason such functionality is not provided in data manager?
I browsed thru data manager guide and see that the menu option edit->find/replace is enabled only on object tables???!!
Can we achieve the same functionality through assignments?
Any inputs/leads appreciated!
-Sudhir

you are right Varun,
Using Import maps was what we did originally for address standardization,
But Value Transformation is lost if you unmap the field and remap them.
And thats what happened to us and we didn't quite check it!
The Data Manager route which you and some others suggested will not work , atleast in my case because:
if you noticed in data manager
start a selection, with say one record
-> Add another record to the selection , you know, using the shift key
-> you will see the details pane highlighting the differences, so far so good
-> for street , I will not see "only Avenue", because
A) Avenue is part of a street
B) And data manager will not exactly "tokenize" the differences
C) for egL if I have two street values like " 120 pennsylvania Avenue" & "5th saks Avenue", detail pane will highlight them as two distinct values and I cannot change Avenue to Ave and get the Job done.
most importantly...
keep on adding more records to the selection...
When you reach 10 records, notice the detail pane still lists all the 10 distinct street address side by side for street field
Add on more record and make the selection 11
then alll the fields in detail pane will turn to [..]
So I can no more go in and replace Avenue , I have to replace the entire street value with watever I type in place of [..]
So here is my question again:
Why is there no functionality simple like Edit->Find-> Replace just like an excel interface, I am sure it is not technologically impossible, but rather is there something basic I am missing in wishing for such facility?

Exporting Data in Data Manager

Hi Guys,
When I am exporting records in Data Manager to Excel Sheet. I am can export Records. in That I am not able to see Key for that particular record.
How can I Export that Key along with other fields?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
As far as I know, MDM doesnt add any row to the Excel file that you export from the Data manager. It will contain all the records( selected/all) for all the fields you select in the export to Excel option. So in my view you cant get any additional key for the exported records.
For Exporting into Access, MDM adds to each table a first column named u201CRowu201D that contains the row number so that corresponding records in each table can be easily correlated.
For exporting into Excel, you can use the Primary key of your table ( Unique field ) in your reposiotry such as Material Number for example as your Key which you can use as a Key.
I don't think we have an option of generating any key while exporting into Excel.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

Adding a record to a relationship | MDM data manager

Hi , Following is my situation ...
I have some material numbers in the product table in the material repository which are a part of a kit . Basically a kit is a comination of some material numbers put together . Now this kit is also in the same product table appearing as another material number . So as you can see , this is a parent-child relationship but within the same table (product table) .
Now I have defined the relationship table in the console and have also defined the type of relationship in the same . The product table is also involved with another table in a product level relationship . When i open the data manager and double click the relationship name under the record detail tab , i can see the pop-up window but it does not allow me to add any records to the relationship .
The guide tells me to use the "Relationship" menu option by selecting the number of records I want to add to a relationship and then use the relationship menu on the top of data manager , but when I tried to do that , the options are greyed out .
What do you guys think is the problem ??
Regards
Deepak Singh

Deepak,
You should be all set with setting the table up in the Console. Once you add the Parent/Child relationship there it should be active in the Data Manager.
To add parts to the table in the Data Manger:
Select a specific part (the parent part)
Double click on the child field in the relationships table
It should open the new dialog box and default to the child tab in it
This dialog box will remain open and you can move around in the Data Manager without changing this selection
Find the part(s) you want to add to the relationship as children
Select them in the Records window and drag-and-drop them into the Relationship window that is open
It should add them right in.
You should also be able to add them with the Import Manager
For Import Manger set up a file with:
Parent                  Child
Parent1                 Child1
Parent1                 Child2
Parent1                 Child3
Parent2                 Child4
Parent2                 Child5
You should be able to map this to the Relationships table and import the relationships instead of manually mapping in the Data Manager.

Dropdown and data provider. I want to add an item to my dropdown

Hi,
here my problem. I've a downdrop. It is binded to a data provider. It works fine, all the db rows are displayed.
Now I want to add an item to my downdrop, programmatically. This because, I need to put a new selection named "ALL" into the dropdown.
This item should be the first in the dropdown list selections.
I cant' work with an option array, because it is already binded to a data provider, so how can I add an item to my dropdown programmatically?
Thank you
