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.

Cannot run data management packages

Hi there folks,
I'm having some problems running data management packages (specifically the Import package). Bizarrely it worked OK yesterday, but for some reason I run the same package again today and nothing happens; nothing appears in the progress box and no data is loaded.
I'm using the same computer (VM, actually) over my clients VPN, as I did yesterday. I know AV can cause problems with this but my VM has no anti-virus and the firewall is switched off.
Very odd - any ideas? It's not a problem I've seen before, but is causing my huge issues.
Thanks a lot,
Jason

Hi Sorin,
I forgot that piece of useful information - sorry!
I'm running 5.1 SP7... I am pretty sure that Service Packs are cumulative, so in theory my problem should be solved, right?
Unfortunately not, though, so any help you can offer is much appreciated!
Thanks as always,
Jason

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.
Best regards,

Error while running data manager

Hi
If I run the copy function in the data manager I am getting this error.
"[Errcheck] An error occured while checking an error from webservice. 91: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
What should I do now ?
Thanks and Regards
Vijay

Hi
i think you need to define the source and the destination properly
if you will copy 2 accounts in only one account you need to specify twice the destination account
example
source destination
account1,account2 account3,account3

SAP BPC 7.0M SP7 can not be able to run Data Manager packages by admin user

Can not be able to run DM packages by admin user with full access rights in security?
please suggest any solution ASAP please?

Hi There
Have you ensured that the user has the Data Manager Execute task right ?
Have you tried to process the security of the users again?
If the user is a part of a team, have you tried to assign the task access specifically to that user ?
Hope this Helps

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.

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.
Cheers,
Julius

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.

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.
Do post any solution discovered.
Thanks,

Data manager package

Hi Guru,s
How stop a data manager package which runs for many hours and creating very big debug file in temp file PRIVATEPUBLICATIONS\USERname\TempFiles.We running script logic through the Package.There 3 files which are keep increasing as the time progress.
Regards
Buggi
Edited by: Buggi9 on Sep 9, 2011 5:32 PM

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

Customize Data Manager Package

Hi
m new to sap bpc nw version.Can anybody help me for the following issue
1)I want to copy data from one sorce member to multiple destination members. I have used Copy Data Manager Package in BPC NW Version,but its not allowing me to select multiple members of a dimension n the destination.The "Next" option itself is getting disabled.The same was enabled in MS Version.
How can I customize Data Manager Package to get Multiple Selections?

As "Copy" is predefined BPC DM package ,this DM package can not be customized. Copy wizard wont allow if source & destination members are of different count . If destination members are less , then you can run Copy package multiple times. If destination members are more , you can try creating simple script logic to copy .

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.

Sorin
