SAP BPC 7 APPSet Restore SQL 2005

Hi Everyone,
I have SAP BPC 7 setup in a multi-server environment, and it's working well. I created a dev environment, installed SAP in the same fashion, and now when I try to restore an app set through server manager in dev, it keeps putting the SQL DB on C instead of where it should go on I:\ .
The original app set was using this same drive configuration, and that backup/restore works fine -
I've gotten this to work before, but I can't seem to get the restore to go somewhere else this time...
Any thoughts appreciated -
Edward

Hi,
More testing today so let's share
There is 3 registry key in SQL Server 2005 :
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<Instance Name>\MSSQLServer\DefaultData
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<Instance Name>\MSSQLServer\DefaultLog
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<Instance Name>\Setup\SQLDataRoot
Key #1 and key #2 are the one you configure in SQL server Manager and they correspond to the *.MDF directory and *.LDF directory.
Key #3 is the one you configure during SQL Server installation.
SAP Server manager will use key #3 when you restore an appset and also during the installation process of the ApShell.
Key #1 and Key #2 are used by BPC setup to create the AppServer database.
So to conclude : Even if you change Key #3 value in order to change the directory where you want to create your DB files, you will not be able to put *.MDF files on a different folder (directory) thant *.LDF files. Which means that after each AppSet restoration you will have to manually move at least the *.LDF or *.MDF file. I think this can be scripted with a T-SQL command... But you will have to do it.
On a side note, i tried to delete Key #3 (was hoping that it will use key #1 and #2) => This is not working. The AppSet restore will fail (in fact this is SQL Server who will throw an error).
Will ask my customer to open a case on SAP support, maybe it could be "fixed" one day.

SAP BPC installation - Errors during setup in the create database step

Hi! I have a real big problem installing SAP BPC. It's a Microsoft multi-server installation.
I've got two servers: 1) the database server with the SQL Database and Analysis Server 2) the application server with all the rest.
I log on and I installed everything on the servers with a specific domain user: this user is administrator on both servers and even on SQL Server.
My problem occours when I execute the "SAP BPC setup" on the application server: during the "create database" step I receive two errors:
first error pop-up:
Error ([SQL-DMO]This cache contains no result sets, or the current result set contains no rows.)
second error pop-up:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "ApShell" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user MyDomain\MyUser
After the SAP BPC setup:
- in the SQL Database Engine the ApShell database was created
- nothing for ApShell was created in Analysis Sever
- in the Even Viewer of the database server I've got this error: Login failed for user 'MyDomain\MyUser'.
It's very strange because if from the application server, using "SQL Server Management Studio" (always with 'MyDomain\MyUser'), I connect to the database server: I can login, create and delete databases on the SQL Database Engine and even on Analysis Server without any sort of problem.
To complete my status, I can say you Analysis Sever is on the default port. I use SQL Server 2005 and I even tryed to reinstall it and SAP BPC but nothing change.
At this point I checked these two topics on this forum:
Mulit-Server Install - Installation fails while creating AppServer Database
Problem during BPC installation
1) At first I tryied this solution:
Into multiserver installation guide is specified that actually in case of multiserver environment you have to copy apshell.db9 file from installation kit into db server. Into a drive from where SQL server is able to read when you are doing restore with Management Studio.
During the installation you have to go into advance options and to specified the path (local path from db server where you did the copy of apshell.db9).
but nothing change: the "SAP BPC setup" problem I have still persists.
2) Then I tryed this workaround:
If so, you can try a "restore appset" from server manager. Rename the Apshell.db9 file (or copy it) and name it Apshell.bak
During server manager restore, point only to the Apshell.bak file. Server Manager will tell you that webfolders and filedb files are missing, but it found the webfolders and filedb (again, only if the original bpc installation successfully created those folders)- and then it will try to restore Apshell.
That may work in spite of whatever problem is keeping the installation program from performing the same tasks.
but the "restore database" fails > I've got the error written in red: OLAP database - fail
What can I do to solve the problem? If it is necessary, I can reinstall SQL Server and SAP BPC but I need to know the way to solve the setup error.
Thanx very much in advance for your kindness if you can help me.

Thanx very much to everyone for the kind support. Unfortunatly, my problem persists.
- SQL server is EE.
- I installed SQL server (including SSAS) using MyDomain\MyUser.
- MyDomain\MyUser is windows administrator on both servers.
- MyDomain\MyUser is SQL Server and SSAS administrator.
- SSAS service is running under the same service account than the SQL Service.
- All my MSSQL services runs as Local System.
- I'm installing SAP BPC using MyDomain\MyUser.
- I also checked the SSAS service account specific rights to the SSAS data folders.
SAP BPC installation still fails exactly as above (popup errors during SAP BPC setup, no ApShell etc. etc).
In the database server, windows event viewer errors after the unsuccessful installation are:
1) SOURCE: MSSQLSERVER
Failure Audit: Login failed for user MyDomain\MyUser
2) SOURCE: MSSQLSERVER
BackupDiskFile::OpenMedia: Backup device 'MyPath' failed to open. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
As regard as point 1: The Failure Audit error into the event viewer happens only during SAP BPC installation. Otherwise it is always Success Audit.
Also, as I told you, if from the application server I connect with SQL Server console to SSAS, located on the database server, using MyDomain\MyUser: I can create delete SSAS dbs without any sort of problem.
For point 2:
I tried 4 differents SAP BPC installations as follows:
- to go into advance options and to specified the path (local path from db server where I did the copy of apshell.db9).
- to go into advance options and to specified the path (local path from application server where is the copy of apshell.db9).
- to go into advance options and to specified the path (network path of a share folder with apshell.db9 and permissions to everyone)
- to don't go into advance options and to don't specify the path.
but every time nothing change: the "SAP BPC setup" problem I have during my initial post still persists. In the same way I written at the beginning of the topic.
I don't know how to solve it.

Why not displayed new member in dimension sap bpc?

Good day guys
I have the following problem:
Add new members to a dimension but not displayed.
example: DIMENSION(inputcurrency) added MEMBER: MXN (Mexican Pesos); when I excel interface I can not see the new member, before this process the dimension and active AppSet.
that could be?
Use SAP BPC 7.5 SP8

Hi Bish,
Without processing a dimension the data should no go to the database. If you modify the the dimension and you want those new members in report you have to process that dimension. And if you save that dimension after modification its save the members in application sever. while retrieving the data it pick up from the database layer not from application layer, So the on fly calculation are stored in application layer( Like conversion files, Transformation files, script logics and Member formulas). So if you want the new members in report you have to process. Its by SAP design it self.
After modification of dimension no need to logoff and login every time. In order to avoid that option we have a anothe solution that is Activate Metadata Cache option.
In order to use that go to EPM--> User OPtions---> Activate metadata Option
You can clear the metadata cache. When the cache is cleared, the structure of the data source you are connected to is synchronized with the structure copied locally; which means that the members of dimensions that have been added, modified or deleted in the data source are loaded.
For more details related to Metadata option go to the EPM 10 Office Addin User Guide document which is available in google free of cost

How to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen when we start BPC. I do not want it to pop up.
I looked at VBA behind the workbooks but could not find anything. Could not make the sheet invisible.
Is there a way to get rid of the screen? This is the screenshot

Re: How to change the logo, (3 Globes) on the launch page
Posted: Mar 18, 2009 12:46 PM in response to: David Fletcher Reply
OK then, now v7sp03 for microsoft has hit the shelves, you can change the logo !!!
It is quite easy.
Have the logo file ready in either BMP, GIF or JPG format.
Put it in your "Server Install -> DataWebFolders[Appset]" folder (so where you keep your files).
In ApplicationSet parameters, add the parameter COMPANY_LOGO and in the options type the name of the file you just put on the server.
Now if you restart BPC for Excel, the second excel page that pops up should be showing your new logo or graphic (mine did).
The use of the logo has been documented in the admin manual -> working with appset parameters
Some tips.
I wanted not to clutter the filesystem so i put my logo in the appsetpublications folder and added the path accordingly in the parameter (so now it reads appsetpublicationslogoname.jpg instead of just logoname.jpg).
If you do not supply a name (only the parameter), your second Excel window (normally holding the graphic) will not appear. That could be an alternative too if you find that whole thing annoying.
Hope this helps you build great BPC apps,

Upgrade to SAP BPC 7.0 with cluster system (Front-End & Back-End)

Hello,
I have to do an upgrade document about an outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 in a cluster system.
It has 2 front-ends (IIS cluster windows) & 2 back-ends (SQL Cluster).
We are going to do first the migration in 1 node, and then in another. The first upgrade in the first node I understand. I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then restore the backup of the Appset, and do the posts upgrade action of the Dimension TIME.
But in the second, what do we do??? I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then what??? Do I have to restore the backup of the Appset again???
I need help.
Best regards.
Pablo Mortera.

Hello,
On the second cluster node, you have only to install the software, nothing related to the appset. If you alreay run the migration stepts for the appset, all the information are into daatbase and file server.
However, the normal behaviour is to make the installation on the both nodes, make the basic tests to validate the installation and then proceed with the appset migration.
Best regards,
Mihaela

SAP BPC 7.5 Client, Silent install but with progress bar, can it be done?

Hi All,
I need to uninstall the BPC 7 Client and then deploy 7.5 to around 250 users accross the country.
We have SCCM (SMS) in place so will be using that.
I have the uninstall of 7 sorted and I have the response file etc sorted for the silent install of 7.5 and the install runs, silently, no issue.
Is there a way though that one can "turn on" the progress bar during the install? So that users dont shutdown or disconnect in the 15min it takes the install to run.
By way of example, in the SAP Business objects enterprise client on can configure the Silent install so that although it never prompts the user for a reponse there is a progress bar that runs, indicating that there is an install in progress.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Hi Sebastian,
No worries, I am using a pop up countdown so the users have some idea on progress. Would love to know why the install runs for over 15min.
In the above case the uninstall was easy as we had deployed using MS AppV so it was just a case of deleting the advert in SCCM and the application was pulled from the users desktops.
For 7.5 I am using a vbscript with following to uninstall:
The install string pulled from the clients registry uninstall folder:
RunCommand Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{EC8753EF-EE78-48B5-A4D0-FBBD237B5D53}\setup.exe" & Chr(34) & " -runfromtemp -l0x0009UNINSTALL -removeonly"
We create a custom link, so this deletes it.
DeleteFile "c:\Users\Public\Desktop\SAP BPC 7.5.lnk"
You should be able to create something similar for 7.0 & 7.1
Hope that helps,
Bryan

Can any one guide me o this where and what i am really missing.
Edited by: Hemanth Kumar on Dec 25, 2010 5:18 PM

Hi,
This is one of the most common error I encountered during my recent BPC Project . This can be solved by the following ways.
1.Please check the authorizations ( make sure to have full admin authorizations for the Apshell) .
2.Make sure to Re- install both admin & client tools (check the Diagnostics and uninstall re-install both admin & client tools once.)

SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP15 - Dimension member descriptions are missing

Hi Expert,
We are using SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP 15, we use admin and client in spanish language see image attached
All users see through BPC CLIENT for Excel in spanish mode both ID and descriptions but when we added new user it can´t, just it can see ID member. We refresh Dim Cache member from client side but nothing happens.
We reprocess All dimensions through BPC Admin Client in spanish mode and doesn´t have any efect in dimension description?
is there any issue with this?
please give an advice to follow,
Thanks for your answer.
regards.

Hi Roberto,
thanks for your anwser
We checked though BW and saw it that long descriptions were set in Spanish language key which is the same language as BPC for Excel was openend.
As solution we checked at UJA3_USER_LANGU table, we notice that users in which descriptions are missing were registered in English language, therefore we deleted this user and its language and then was recreated those users through BPC ADMIN client.
Thank you,
Giovanni

Read-only scenario issue in SAP BPC 7.0 SP07

Please do not post duplicate threads across forums.
Hi
This is related to SAP BPC.
The appset which runs on SAP BPC 7.0 SP07, is not able to write on read-only scenarios, while the appset which runs on SAP BPC 7.0 SP3, allows to write through script logic.
If a read-only scenario cannot be written even through a script logic, it is impossible to finalize working versions.
So, let me know if anyone came across such similar problem.And how was it resolved?
Thank you.

Error in SAP BPC

Hi Experts,
We are facing a strange error while sending data from input Schedule in SAP BPC 7.5 SP08. For Reporting Currency USD, we are able to send data from the input schedule but from reporting currency EUR we are getting the error
"Error running default logic()"..."Error converting records: The root element is missing.
In some of the other schedules, we can send data for EUR and not USD.
Am i missing something?
Thanks in advance

Hello Appu,
Do you have something in default script logic? Revise it in the admin consol Default.LGF inside the application and scripts logic, and delete the code include. Always if you don't need to use it.
By defect SAP BPC include some code there and you must delete it and save the changes.

Multiple SQL Queries in SAP BPC 5.1 EVMODIFY

Hi All,
We have multiple SQL Queries in Outlooksoft 4.2 which extracts data from Oracle source system with different set of selections and conditions and parameters. We were able to use multiple SQL Queries in Outlooksoft 4.2 using Transform Data Flow Task and paste parameters using evModify dynamic script task, where ever extract to source system is needed.
According to SAP BPC 5.1, all these multiple SQL Queries and extracts by passing parameters will be coded in EVMODIFY dynamic script editor.But, EVMODIFY dynamic script editor is not working with the sets of multiple SQL Queris.It's able to recognize and execute the first SQL Query, but not able to execute from the second SQL Query.
Does any body, did multiple extracts using SQL Queries to the source system by passing parameters using SAP BPC 5.1 data manager and SSIS Packages, please let me know, how you did achieve the above functionality.

Sreekanth.

Hi Sorin,
Thanks for your update, I tried declaring the variable between %%....GLOBAL(%GTIMEID%,%SELECTION%) and the package runs now but the problem is that the package is executed using the default date value for the variable GTIMEID declared in the DTSX package and its not taken the date that I'm trying to pass from BPC. As showed below, please if you could take a look to the ModifyScript and see the last line for the global variable and line 13 PROMTP(SELECTINPUT,%SELECTION%,,,%TIME_DIM%) where I am selecting the TIMEID:
