please let us know the solution as on high priority.
Thanks in advance

Hi Praveen,
In case if u find that the package is not getting aborted, there is another way to kill the process.
1) connect to the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio
2) Right Click on the name of the server->Activity monitor
3) Open the section Processes and then filter the column DataBase for the appropriate DB and in the the column Commands, select not blank
4) Now you should have in the list all the running processes on that database. Among these you have to find the right one to kill. Keep in mind the session ID associated to the process. To be sure that this is the right process to kill right click the process row->Details, to make sure you are looking at the the right process.
NOTE : This is critical step and u need to make sure that u don't kill any other processes.
5) Close the previous windows the right click again on the process row identified by the session id previously noted->click kill process.
6) Process the cube from Analysis Services.

  • Data records rejected while using Data Manager Packages

    Hello all ,
    We have configured the dimensions and applications in SAP- BPC 7.5 NW. However , while loading the data into the application using a data manager package , all the records are rejected. The following is the error :
    Line 3 :Dimension: P_CC member: SALESTEAM1 is invalid or is a calculated member
    Line 3 :Dimension: PRODUCT member: PRODUCTA is invalid or is a calculated member
    However , these member are present in the dimensions and are processed as well !! Any help is appreciated .
    THanks
    Vijay

    The message seems to be saying you have a dimension forumula  defined for those two cost centers.  Please check your dimension members master data and make sure there is nothing defined in a property column called "Formula" for those two members.  If there is something populated, then delete the cell contents and save and process your dimension.  Then try your data manager load again.

    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.

  • The Full Optimization & Lite Optimization Data Manager packages are failing

    Hi,
    The Full Optimization and Lite Optimization Data Manager packages are failing with the following message "An Error occured while querying for the webfolders path".
    Can anyone had similar issue earlier, please let me know how can we rectify the issue.
    Thanks,
    Vamshi Krishna

    Hi,
    Does the Full Optimize work from the Administration Console directly?
    If it's the case, delete the scheduled package for Full Optimize every night (in both eData -> Package Schedule Status and in the Scheduled Tasks on your server Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks), and then try to reschedule it from scratch.
    If it's not solving your problem, I would check if there are some "wrong" records into the FACT and FAC2 tables.
    After that, I would also check if the tblAppOptimize is having other values than 0. For all applications, you should have a 0 there.
    Hope this will help you..
    Best Regards,
    Patrick

  • Setting Data Manager Packages Priority

    Hi Experts
    Is it possible to set the priority of data manager packages, for example, if we have multiple scheduled data manager packages running on a server in different appsets. all of the packages are scheduled to run at different time intervals, but unfortunately due to the nature of the processes, they overlap and cause contention issues on the servers.
    Would it be possible to set the priority level of packages, for example package A is highest priority and hence will always take priority, even if package B is running.
    is this possible through SQL server or Integration services?
    The packages being run are standard BPC packages, for example Import, Admin_Optimize (Lite), certain packages are SQL based, meaning that they execute SQL Stored procedures to export data to other systems (R3, BW, etc)
    Kind Regards and Thanks
    Daniel

    Priority will be that always first package requested will be first satisfy.
    You don't have any other priority.
    SG(send governor) + tbldtslog table are used for this.
    If you are looking to standard SP from BPC you will see actually nolock or tablock or rowlock instruction are used.
    Your custom packge depending by what were design to do must avoid concurentiality with other packages.
    Lite optimize is not a problem if you are doing always the select from wb table with condition Source = 0.
    It is not easy to explain the entire mechanism into forum thread.
    Regards
    Sorin

  • 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.

  • Default File Selection while Running Data Manager Package

    Hi BPC Experts,
    What i wanted to know is that is possible to make a file selection as "Default" for running a data manager package.Say for example i wanted to run a simple DMP "Load Transaction data from from BW InfoProvider UI" and the file that i always select is "ZFIGL010" for this is it possible to get  "ZFIGL010" file as pre-populated (or pre-selected)instead user going and choosing from long list of files available "Info Provider Selection".
    Thanks
    Rahul

    Rahul,
    As Ashish said you cant get rid of the info provider name selection as you are using the /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROV_UI pkg. But if you use /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROVIDER package you can follow the below steps to get rid of the selection.
    Comment the below prompt statement in the Advance script of the pkg which asks you to select the Info provider.Its the first statement of the script. You can comment by putting a ' before begining of the statement.
    PROMPT(TEXT,%InforProvide%,"Please enter InfoProvider to download data",)
    Add a INFO statement and pass the same INFO statement to the Task. Please refer to image below.

    You can kill all of them as long as no one else is using the system.
    The processes restart (are invoked) automatically when user's log back into the system.
    If you want to really focus on which DLLHOST.EXE to kill then do this:
    Open Component Services (RUN menu DCOMCNFG)
    Click on the Running Processes folder under Component Services --> Computers --> My Computer
    You'll see a bunch of COM+ objects with a process ID (PID) associated with each object.
    Look for the K2Processing and Everest Update processes and take note of the process ID's
    Now look for those process ID's in Task Manager (PID) and only kill those processes.
    Goodluck,
    John

  • Copying the data manager package

    HI All,
    In BPC,  I need the contents and packages of my data manager package to be copied from my production server to Testing server.(I want the entire contents in there, to be copied.)
    Can anyone suggest me, how can i do that??

    Hi,
    I meant that you need to go the path:
    <installation folder>\Data\Wefolders\appsetname\appname\datamanager\packagefiles
    You will be able to see your package file, here. You can copy it and then paste it on the same path in the target server.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 'Merge Data Values' on data manager package

    Hi there
    I have a query with the 'Copy' data manager package.  We are currently selecting 'Merge Data Values' which appears to be finding anything where the key already exists and replacing it with the new data.  That's fine.
    However, our user is wanting to consolidate various different category members into a single category member.  Therefore, we would like to run a package to SUM new values with what is already in the cube rather than first delete and replace with the latest value.
    Is there a way to do this ?
    Thanks
    Ian

    Hi Ian,
    Please read this: BPC 7.5/10.0 : MOVE Data manager Package with keyfigure additions on move
    Or you can use script logic to add values like:
    *REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%+[CATEGORY].[DESTINATION],CATEGORY=DESTINATION)

  • New data manager package

    Hi
    I have as of now only 3 data manager packages in Financial processes packages (which came with APPSHELL)
    Till now i was using *include to add other scripts -- but this takes a long time and all the scripts need to run each time
    Hence i am trying to create a new data manager package which will run some scripts only -- eg cash flow
    Can some one let me know how should i go about doing this please.
    Rgds

    Hi Manoj,
    1. You need to create a new script logic with your code.
    2. Create an SSIS package to execute your script logic. You can refer to the FX restatement. DTSX file for reference. This SSIS refers to the script logic for currency conversion. You can have the similar SSIS which will be pointing at your script logic.
    3. Create a DM on top of this SSIS. You can refer to the DM package for FX restatement. You can copy the advanced script of the fx restatement DM into your DM. Please make sure that your script logic file is correctly mentioned and the task names are correct.
    Hope this helps.
