EPM/BPC10 data manager tab unavailable

Hello,
I have a question relating to EPM/BPC 10.
I cannot use the Data manager tab, because the buttons are unavailable (not highlighted/bold).
Does anyone know what could be the cause of this?
Thx already!
Dieter

Hi John,
That was my first reaction, too, so I checked this and I was assigned to the 3 standard task profiles.
Because of your input I saw that this was not enough. I have created a new task profile including everything.
So now I can continue. Thx for that!!!
One small thing, though:
I cannot see the tasks in the task folders during the task profile set up.
I can only see the folder and the number of items it contains.
So I don't really know which tasks I'm adding.
I don' believe this is normal, is it?
Can I solve this?
(Possible hint: I am working in a dutch version (don't know if this is relevant))
Kind regards and thx 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.

Julius

Unable to find the master data loaded request in manage tab

Hi All,
Iam unable to see the loaded request in the master data manage tab after some time of loading.
Immediately after loading i could see the request.If i revisit the manage tab,iam unable to see the request.
However data is available for the info object .
Can anyone please suggest on this.
Regards,
Kavya

hi Devupalli,
Note your request number, find it using RSRQ tcode. Now click on the target icon and see if it takes you to the manage of your infoobject.
There is a very common error which we sometimes make: are u sure you're checking the right thing? please check that if your infoobject has text, attribute and hierarchy, you're checking in the manage of the relevant one.
For ex, if you're loading text, you have to go to manage of the text.
Hope this helps!

Use of Assignment tab in Data Manager

Hi,
Can someone give me some real time example of using Assignment tab in data manager and what is the need of assignment.
In Data manager guide it's written that : "Instead of retuning boolean value, we can use any data type and we can assign this value to user editable field" ... Can some one explain me with example?
I also want to know "Is it possible to define assigment in Data Manager and on the basis of users i can assign this assigments with the help of workflow?
Thanks in advance,
Message was edited by:
Ronak Gajjar

Assignments provide users a convenient way to fill in fields.
You can set values for a certain field using the "Assignment" workflow step.
Eg: Approval Status
You can set the value for the field "Approval Status" based on certain other fields.
Several assignments for the same field can be defined.
Assignments are selected during runtime to calcualte the field value.
You have to be in Record mode to create Assignments.
Select the table for which you want to define the assignment.
The assignment is later bound to this table which is unchangeable.
Hope this helps.

Data Manager Diff. Tab

Hi Experts,
In data Manager Matching mode under rule tab there are fields Success and failure and undefined.
Under strategies tab High Threshold, low threshold, Min score and Max score
Under transformation tab preview .
Please tell me what are the functions of these fields?
Thanks
Shalini

Hi Shalini ,
The Transformations, Rules and Strategies tabs comprise the u201CDesign Timeu201D portion of Matching mode.
The Matches and Merge tabs on the other hand comprise the u201CRuntimeu201D portion of Matching mode.
Workflow Tab supports Matching and Merging Automation.
Terms and there Functions:
1. Normalization: When we remove the Special Characters as well as the Short forms from our data we say that the data is Normalized and this is used in Transformation technique.
2. Token: When we have to reduce the short forms they are known as Tokens.
3. Score : Score actually helps us to define the Result in the following ways:
u2022 Success : If we find the duplicate fields it shows Success
u2022 Failure : If we do not get any Duplicate field we say it is a Failure
u2022 Undefined : If any of the field contains Null Value we say that it is undefined.
There are two types of Scores also:
u2022 Maximum Score
u2022 Minimum Score
Maximum Score and Minimum Score: The read-only Min Score and Max Score properties are calculated automatically by MDM based on the Success scores of ever matching rule included in the strategy, and allow you to set the values of Low Threshold and High Threshold properties to classify the results.
4.Difference between Equals and Token Equals:
u2022 Equals : Exactly matches the data
u2022 Token Equals: Fuzzy Matches are also considered.
5.Threshold: There are two categories of Threshold:
u2022 High: Records whose total score is greater than or equal to the High threshold score are included in the list of potential matches in the Matches tab and placed in the High match level.
u2022 Low: Records whose total score is greater than or equal to the Low Threshold score are included in the list of potential matches in the Matches tab and placed in the Low match level.
The Tabs along with there Functionality:
 Transformation: It basically helps us to normalize the data.
 Rules: This tab is used to define certain rules for our search i.e. what rules needs to be followed to find out the Duplicate values.
 Strategies: Strategies are the collection of Rules, we try various combinations of the rules we have already created and then try to find out the Duplicate Records.
 Matches: In this tab we can see all the entries which are found to be duplicating in our data, here we need to include all those entries which we want to merge, so that we can get cleansed data.
 Merge: Merge on the other hand is use to merge the Duplicate data into one. It has further two parts:
u2022Set: This is used to select the data for a field of your choice among all the duplicate data that has been found.
u2022Concatenate: If we want to concatenate the two data for the same field then we use Concatenate.
Hope this would be helpful..
If helpful do reward points!!!!!!!!!!!

Workflow tab disabled in Data Manager

Hi SDNers,
In Data Manager, in record mode the <b>workflow</b> tab is disabled (greyed),
I am logged in as Administrator, tell me if some authority or role settings are to be checked?
Thanks,
Gautam.

Gautam,
The workflow component to install is included with the GUI Clients and named MDMWorkflowInstall_Ver5.5??.exe. You will need to install this on each client PC running the Data Manager which you want the Workflow tab to be active on.
Visio is only needed to create the actual workflows. Only users who will create workflows need Visio. Other users that will only be included in the workflow processes do not need to have Visio if they will not be creating workflows.

Power Query/Data Management Gateway data refresh not working

Pretty new to o365/Power BI, but here's what I've got going on (hopefully someone can help me out):
I created a data management gateway and data source. The data source says it's online in the PowerBI admin center, and it seems to be working correctly. I can open Excel 2013 on my desktop (logging in as my trial o365 account which has Power
BI associated with it) and connect to the data source via Power Query using the oData option. I make sure to import the data into the model, and then open up the PowerPivot window and create a simple pivot table using the data in the model.
that all works just great. The problem comes when I upload the workbook and try to update it. I've tried a few different ways.
1. When I try to manually refresh the workbook by opening it in my o365 site and going to data-->refresh I get the following error:
      An error occurred while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again.
      We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook.
      The following connections failed to refresh:
      Connection: Power Query - dbo_DimProductCategory
      Error: Out of line object 'DataSource', referring to ID(s) 'a75593f3-c34d-4f83-9458-49aa2cece164', has been specified but has not been used.
      The following system error occurred: Class not registered
      The provider 'Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1' is not registered.
      Power Query - dbo_DimProductCategory
2. When I go into Power BI and go to "Schedule Data Refresh" for the workbook, I get the following error:
      Sorry, the data connections in this report arenâ€™t supported for Scheduled Refresh.
      Technical Details â–¼
      Correlation ID: B3CE4B10-2137-E593-6FCF-189B73465190
      Date and Time: 03/31/2014 06:20:39 PM (UTC)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need additional information, I'd be happy to provide it.

Hey Guy,
Thanks for the reply.
The "data source type" of the data source in Power BI is "SQL Server" (there was only that and Oracle available to select from)
The "data source type" that Power Query is using in Excel is "From oData Feed"....which is using the Power BI data source....which is using the data management gateway.
A few follow up questions if you have a second
1. Do you know when PowerQuery data refresh will be supported? (just a general idea....weeks, months, next year?)
2. Is there any other way to connect to (and be able to refresh) PowerBI data sources referencing "on prem" data via the data management gateway? I tried using the oData feed URL in non-PowerQuery areas of excel (excel data tab, PowerPivot directly)
but it didn't work. If there's some other way to connect to and refresh on prem data, i'm all ears :D
Really appreciate your help, thanks for taking the time.

Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?

Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?
I am writing a UI to configure a network device that will be connected to the serial port of the computer while it is being configured. There is no web server or database for my application. The UI has a large number of fields (50+) spread across 16 tabs. I will write the UI in Java FX. It should run inside the browser when launched, and issue commands to the network device through the serial port. A UI has several input fields spread across tabs and one single Submit button. If a field is edited, and the submit button clicked, it issues a command and sends the new datum to the device, retrieves current value and any errors. so if input field has bad data, it is indicated for example, the field has a red border.
Is there a standard design pattern or Java utility class to accomplish the frequently encountered, 'generic' parts of this scenario? lazy loading, submitting only what fields changed, displaying what fields have errors etc. (I dont want to reinvent the wheel if it is already there). Otherwise I can write such a class and share it back here if it is useful.
someone recommended JGoodies Bindings for Swing - will this work well and in FX?

Many thanks for the reply.
In the servlet create an Arraylist and in th efor
loop put the insances of the csqabean in this
ArrayList. Exit the for loop and then add the
ArrayList as an attribute to the session.I am making the use of Vector and did the same thing as u mentioned.I am using scriplets...
>
In the jsp retrieve the array list from the session
and in a for loop step through the ArrayList
retrieving each CourseSectionQABean and displaying.
You can do this in a scriptlet but should also check
out the jstl tags.I am able to remove this problem.Thanks again for the suggestion.

How to set a variable value on the BPC Data Manager

Hello BPC Experts,
I'm creating a BPC10 NW version demo environment for our prospect customer.
I made a data manager to import BW data into BPC model from BW cube.
I need to import just one month data into BPC from the BW cube that has more than one month data.
When I run the data package manually, I can select a member of the time dimension prompt and I can import specific month data I want.
But, in a case where the program (data manager) runs by JOB monthly,
I can't select a member of the time dimension prompt manually.
So I want to know how to set a variable value to the time dimension prompt from a system date etc. automatically.
Are there any way to set a variable value to the time dimension prompt on the data manager automatically from a system date?
Or, do you have any other solution to import just one month data into BPC from the BW cube that has more than one month data by the data manager running on JOB ?
(without selecting a member of the time dimension prompt of the data package manually)
Thanks in advance,
Keisuke

Hi Gersh
Sorry for my late reply and thanks for your helpful information.
I tried the second way of your information and I could configure it.
And I 'll try first way of your information.
