EVCOM Function!!

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding EVCOM function, In following EVCOM function syntax can we use only Base level members while posting comments or comments can be posted for parent level members also?
Syntax: EVCOM(CommentRange,AppName,Member1,Member2, and so on)
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit

Hi Jorg,
Thanks for you reply.
I have tried storing comment for parent members, the issue I am facing that each time I click on submit button (calling MNU_ESUBMIT_REFRESH) without any changes it creates another row of comment for same set of members in database.
Please Advice!!
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit

Probably you should double check if you have your intersections correct...

BPC v5 and evcom

Hello all,
Hoping you can help.....
I have recently completed an implementation of a budgeting/forecasting solution in BPC v5 and have a couple of recurring issues.
As this is my first implementation using SAP BPC these may simply be down to inexperience.
1) EVcom - I am successfully using the evcom function to send comments to the database but when the linked cell contents is amended and data resent I do not get the last comment retreived. I realise that more that one record is created in the comments table in the database, how can I get the evcom to display the last record or somehow display all comment records for that intersection of dimensions?
"my first comment" - 1 comment sent fine
"my second comment" - 1 comment sent fine but on refresh I get
"my ...(2)" reflecting that there are two records for that intersection
2) Intermittent error message when expanding/refreshing an input schedule, "EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the webserver" - sometimes it works sometimes not
I realise this could be down to a whole host of reasons but was wondering is there is a top 5 common reasons for this error?
Many thanks
Phil

Hello Phil,
I do not have a concrete solution to your first problem, but I have experienced the EVCOM issue as well. I am not 100% sure that this is exact issue, but when users of our application append an exisiting comment (on a input schedule w/ EVDRE), then send and expand/refresh the workbook, the previously appended comment text is pasted back into the input cell.
When this happens in our application, the cell that actually holds the EVCOM formula shows the latest comment text, while the input cell still contains the previously appended comment. If I expand/refresh the workbook a second time, the correct comment is then posted into the input cell.
From what I have been able to test, it appears that when EVCOM is used in conjunction with EVDRE, the order of the procedures that are run by BPC when the workbook is expanded/refreshed is incorrect. Apparently, the appended comment text is sent to the comment tables (database) correctly, but when the workbook is subsequently expanded/refreshed, the system first, copies the current EVCOM formula value (from the cache) into the EVCOM input cell, then retrieves the EVDRE values, and finally, refreshes the EVCOM formula values from the database (with latest comment text). The problem is that once the procedure is finished, the "latest" version of the appended comment is not pasted into the EVCOM input cell.
To check to see if this is your exact issue, the next time you duplicate the problem, check the EVCOM formula itself, and see if it shows the "latest" comment text.
One workaround is to refresh the workbook twice. I have another workaround that I use, but it is somewhat more complicated and involves VBA. If you would like to hear about it, just let me know.
I have not had a chance to open a ticket with SAP support on this issue yet, but you may wish to do so.
As for the second problem, the EVDRE web-error can result from a number of things. Check to make sure your EVDRE formula and criteria are setup correctly. Also, whenever my users experience that error, the user's security rights are usually not setup correctly to view certain data being retreived by the EVDRE function.
Hope this helps clarify the issue,

EVCOM does not actualize Linked Cell

When entering comments and sending it with EVCOM, i found a problem when changing the current view.
The linked cell (which is the clell controlled by the EVCOM function, where the comment is entered), the furher comment is still visible, if there is no new comment on the newly selected menbers.
EVCOM worked fine in our old version 7.5M SP3. Now we upgrated to 7.5M SP3, and we have this issue.
Does anybody know about this problem?
Best regadrs
Achim

I think it is a bug and you have to open a ticket on SAP Support.
I think the function was by design created to have this behaviour but I agree with you this is not what users are expected.
Many customers created VB Macro to correct this behaviour.

EVCOM problem

Hi experts,
I am trying to use EVCOM function. I define all evcom formula, using all reference member dimension, but when I send comment data, it seems data send right, but using refresh or expand function, any comment data appears.
Could you help me?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
EVCOM is bi-directional function. It will send as well as retrieve the comment from the database. Thats why your comment appears on expand/refresh. If you only want to send the comment, use EVSND. To retrieve, you can use EVCGT.
Hope this helps.

Comment is not working properly when using list values - multiple rows

Hi
I am trying to send comments in drop down menu but it is not working.
I have a list field with the following values ( "Not Started";"In Progress";"Completed")
the default value should be "Not Started" but if I select "In Progress" at the top and click save, I get it in all the rows.
can't seem to figure out why is not working.
=IF($P22="Not Started";EVCOM($P22;$E$2;$M22;Parameter!$C$20;$E$5;"SCHED";Parameter!$C$23;Parameter!$C$25;$E$6;$E$8;$E$10;$E$11;$E$12);IF($P22="In Progress";EVCOM($P22;$E$2;$M22;Parameter!$C$20;$E$5;"SCHED";Parameter!$C$23;Parameter!$C$25;$E$6;$E$8;$E$10;$E$11;$E$12);IF($P22="Completed";EVCOM($P22;$E$2;$M22;Parameter!$C$20;$E$5;"SCHED";Parameter!$C$23;Parameter!$C$25;$E$6;$E$8;$E$10;$E$11;$E$12);"Not Started")))
I have tried to use plain EVCOM function but the result is same.
thanks

#RFRs on all cells in Report

Recently, a few of users have reported an issue where they receive a #RFR for all cells which are retrieved from the database.
This is no longer a sporadic issue.
We are using BPC 5.1 SP3 and our database is on SQL 2000.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

HI Garvi Koushik,
The symbol "#RFR" always appears when you using "EVGTS()" OR "EVCOM()" function and you don't expand that. Perhaps, Are you using that function ?

Unable to view comments

HI,
I am unable to view comments after validly adding to input schedules through EVCOM. when i go to view comments it retrieves no data. can any one hlep or provide some details.
Kishore

Hello!
I had the same problem. In my case i has two EVDREs and 2 EVCOM functions. The problem was that in the moment of posting data it took the the wrong CV. Go to the comments table in ABAP and check the cube slice where the data is written. It will help you to understand what is the problem in your case.
To find comments table go through the detailed instruction Where are comments stored in Netweaver?
Good luck!

Manage Day Level in BPC Dimension

Hi Experts,
Need your external point of view and analysis,
A client need to manage their Gross Sales at Day Level.
we though to manage this in a specific model , by using a standard Time Dimension , and then a User defined Dimension to manage the day level by using generic day.
With this way of working, we could avoid duplicating 365 day split by year, considering that the calendar should be managed by transactional data to,for example, take in consideration bixestil year or calendar day offset between years, using EVCOM function to make dynamic description.
What should be your recommandations ?
Tks a lot,

Try this:
1) Select "Month" in your Column Selector.
2) Now go to Criteria mode. The "Month" column from the Column Selector should be there. Click on the Column Properties of the column and set Value Interaction to "No Interaction."
3) Save your report.
4) Go back to Results tab and re-select your "default" column in the column selector and Save report again.

EVCOM

Hi,
I'm currently looking at the function EVCOM, but I haven't managed to get it to work - not even if I turn on "Excel pop up". Does anyone have an example in Excel to share?
Thanks,
Lars

Hi Lars,
You can use EVCOM but you need to make sure it is fully qualified ie it refers to all the dimensions in your application.
The syntax for the command is :
EVCOM(Cell Range to input comments in, Application Name, Dimension Member 1, Dimension Member 2, Dimension Member 3 etc)
So an example might be as follows NB - this is a cut and paste from one of our working EVDRE layouts:
=EVCOM(T7,B3,B4,B5,B6,B7,B8,B9,B10,B33,B12)
The formula is input in cell A37.
T7 is the cell the users type their comments in. B3 is the application name in the Page Key Range. The rest are all the dimensions. NB - these cell references point to dimension member values. It will also work with hierarchy nodes.
We have tested this and it works correctly. You can also look in the BW environment in the generated tables /1CPMB/* using a description of "Comment" and you can find the tables with the comments you have entered and the associated dimension members.
We are on BPC NW Sp5
Hope this helps.
Bradley Newcombe.

EvComment and Book Publication Wizard

Is it possible to include comments (evCom) in the reports generated by the Book Publication Wizard? I am in version 4.2 SP2. Is the answer different for version 5.1?
Best regards,
Greg

Greg,
Yes this should work in version 4.2sp2 (not with previous versions) as well as with version 5.1
The only thing with version 4.2sp2 is that you need to install the evcomment client software on the machines where you want to use the comments. From V5 the comment functionality is fully integrated within BPC.
Below some documentation from evcomment in V4 that tells me exactly what you ask for:
OutlookSoft u2013 New method available with WebExcel v4.2 SP2 (aka build 381). Using this method, OutlookSoft tells EVComment when it needs to refresh. This will allow for comments to be published using book publishing. The Client must have the appropriate supporting WebExcel code (v4.2 SP2 or later) or comments will not automatically be refreshed when the workbook opens, or current view changes.

Fax function of HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575

Hi,
I am one of users of HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575.
I would like to know can I set the printer do not print my fax number and fax header on paper when I fax my document to others.
I had login as admin but I did not see where I can config it.
Thank you.

Jimmy Pun

There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

Logical Operations in SQL decode function ?

example:
select col1 ,order_by,case when col1 > 10 then 0 else 1 end
from tab;
select col1 ,order_by,case when col1 <> 10 then 0 else 1 end
from tab;
select col1 ,order_by,case when col1 not in (10,11,12) then 0 else 1 end
from tab;As for testing for null, decode handles that by default anyway so you can have decode or case easily..
select col1 ,order_by,decode (col1, null , 0 , 1)
from tab;
select col1 ,order_by,case when col1 is null then 0 else 1 end
from tab;

If statement in CE function

Hi,
When we use IF in calculation view with CE function the SQL engine is used.
When we remove the "IF" the CE engine is used.
Is there any alternative for if or case in CE functions?
Thanks,
Amir

Is it possible to use CE_CALC for this functionality?
We are trying to use it inside projection:
res_bal = CE_PROJECTION (:bal,[ "BUDAT", "RYEAR" , "Bal_Date" AS "BALANCE_DATE", "RTCUR" ,"MAX_ZGROUP"],'"BALANCE_DATE" == 20140101');
works but:
res_bal = CE_PROJECTION (:bal,[ "BUDAT", "RYEAR" , "Bal_Date" AS "BALANCE_DATE", "RTCUR" ,"MAX_ZGROUP"], '"BALANCE_DATE" == CE_CALC( 'if(''20140101'' == ''19000101'', ''19000101'', ''20140101'')');
Doesn't work.

IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ? Anybody help please. Thanks
