Execute Optimize Outside of SAP BPC

Hi Guys,
I am at a client that would like their internal IT people to be able to optimize applications without having access to the SAP BPC data for governance reasons. We are having heavy performance issues due to the fact that the WB tables are growing too quickly.
Would they be able to use the Admin_Task in their own SSIS package, modify the package to perform a lite optimize and execute the package via a trigger (when the WB table reach a certain record count)?
Would they require admin access to the system for this package to work? Has anyone set up a solution like this before.
If this would not work, what do you suggest?
Regards,
Andries van den Berg

Andries,
Why don't you schedule the optimisation.
SAP provide both DTS and DTSX packages which can be used to optimise the application as you desire. I use them myself. through the data manager I created a scheduled task to run every 4 hours and run a lite optimization if there is above a certain threshold of records in the write back table.
From your description this would meet your needs. It creates a scheduled task that is run by the servers schedule process. This task could probably be used by your IT to run the process on an ad hoc basis.
Doing it this way means that IT does not need to get involved, and it runs as a back ground process. The running of the optimisation appears in the DTS log within the application where it is set up.
Regards,
Mark

Execute workitem outside the SAP Inbox.

Hi Friends,
Please answer my querries if you can -
When any work item comes to the SAP Inbox, usually the requirement revolves around 2 things -
(1) How to send notification of the Workitem to the agent once work item appears in his inbox.
But my question is can i send notification to external mail id like YAHOO, GMAIL,REDIFFMAIL etc. by maintaining the agent's mailid in SU01 and scheduling the RSWUWFML2 report ?
(2) How to execute the work item in outlook
We can send the sap link for the work item to the outlook and when the user clicks on the link it is directed to sap inbox and then he can take the action.
But My question is How the agent can take decision in the oulook itself ? I mean just like sap inbox he can approve and reject in outlook itself. The agent doesnot have to go to the SAP business workplace for this purpose.
(3) How the point2 functionality can be achieved for external mail (GMAIL, YAHOO etc.) as well
Regards,
Debi

Hi Rick,
Thanks a lot.
You mean to say -
(1) Just like RSWUWFML2 we can also send notification to outlook and any other email (like GMAIL etc.) throgh Extended notification. Right ?
(2) Outlook supports the button (approve/reject), so we can integrate that with the SAP Inbox using Duet (as suggested in my previous forum). That means, the agent will take an action from outlook itself and the same will be communicated to SAP. Right? If yes, then please mention the procedure how to integate the outlook with SAP.
(3) Since GMAIL etc. does not support this button(approve/reject), so we just cant do anything for the requirement -> Agent will take an action (approve / reject) in GMAIL and the same will be communicated to sap InBox.
My requirement is that my client wants to take action from external mail id. Is this possible ? If not then atleast can we do the same in outlook.
Regards,
Debi

Full Optimize Error - OutOfMemmory in SAP BPC

Hello
Has anyone come across the following error when running a full Optimize from SAP BPC Administration.
Error Message: Exception of type system OutOfMemoryException was thrown.
I've raised a support call but would appreciate any help on knowing why this happens and how I can resolve it.
Many thanks
Hina

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.

Execute ABAP Code Inspector from Outside of SAP

Hi all...
For reporting purpose, I would like to use ABAP Code Inspector (transaction SCI) for generating output as a file, it should call from outside of SAP through RFC function module and generate the list (output) as flat file (or XML), does anyone have been done with similar work like this? I wonder if you could share your experience with me...
thanks in advance,
yayan irianto.

I managed to set up the variant, however found a problem.
I used "Search ABAP Statement Patterns" under "Search Functs" and set the pattern like followings.
SELECT + INTO *
SELECT SINGLE + INTO *
However following statements were detected.
SELECT * INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT MANDT INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT SINGLE * INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT SINGLE MANDT INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
It's because + means one ABAP token in the code inspector.
Is there anyway to find only "SELECT SINGLE *" and "SELECT *" ?

SAP BPC and Hyperion SmartView

Hello, Forum u2013
Encountering an issue when trying to use SAP BPC and Hyperion SmartView at the same time and just curious if anyone else is 1) using both programs at the same time and 2) if so, have you encountered any problems?
Here is the scenario:
I have a SAP template file (EvDRE) that is used in conjunction with Hyperion SmartView. The way it works is that the template would extract the numbers out of Hyperion and then send the base numbers to the SAP system.
In order to do this, however, I have to create the connection to the Hyperion database first, which I do using VBA code.
When I execute this code within a blank workbook, I am able to successfully create the connection to Hyperion with no problems.
When I execute the same code within my SAP template, I receive a MS Excel error (u201CExcel has encountered an error and must close programu2026u201D). This has been a consistent result that Iu2019ve received.
Please note that I am not logged into either SAP or Hyperion when I receive this error (this happens outside both systems). I'm worried that as soon as I log into both programs, the whole thing will crash...
So, just curious if anyone out there is encountering the same issue when trying to use both programs.
Please let me know.
Carlo

My suggestion is to attempt to break it into 2 seperate work flows for testing, using 2 seperate templates. One to pull, then copy the data to the second sheet for submission. I would assume that you would have to be connected to initiat eeither the extraction of sending of data using your added code, so seperating the 2 steps may prove useful.
Hope this helps.

Questions on Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2

Hi Friends,
My company is Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2 and I am heading the project starting from 1st June. I have downloaded the Installation guide and still have few questions
1) On which client we deploy BPC server component, I mean on 000 or any other.
2) Initially we are doing on Sandbox, so we are using only one system for both ABAP and NET servers and we are using 64bit machine. How do I run 1.1 Net framework on it, I have read installation guide it says configure to WOW6432 but dont know how to do it
3) When we download the ABAP server component what format will it be .SAR or .CAR or any other
Please do reply.
Thanks in advance
Bobby

Hello Bobby,
1. You will install the BPC server component with SAINT, which has to be executed in client 000, but BPC will actually run in the client you designate for BW.
2. The following article discusses configuring ASP.NET 1.1 to run in 32 bit mode on a 64 bit system [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435]
3. The ABAP server component will be a SAR file.
Thank you,
Daniel

SAP BPC 7.5: Master Data and Hierachiy Load from InfoObject

Hallo Forum Participants,
I am going to load Master Data from a "Clarity" Reporting Tool in BW to SAP BPC 7.5 via Process Chains (/CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_MASTER, /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER) delivered from SAP.
These Process Chains load the Master Data and Hierarchies from an InfoObject. To find out more about Ticking of BPC I have performed a following test. So, on BPC Admin Interface I have duplicated the Dimension u201CAu201D and called it as Dimension u201CBu201D (in BW site InfoObject u201CAu201D and u201CBu201D). In the Member Sheet of Dimension u201CBu201D I have implemented the several changes und tried to load Master Data from BW namely from infoObject u201CBu201D into BPC Dimension u201CAu201D. Therefor I created a transformation file and mapped one for one IDu2019s. The data Manager started these chains, but resulted nothing (Status: red X).
What are the features of BPC InfoObjects in Comparision with regular InfoObject?
How can I load Hierarchies into InfoObject?
What else I must take into account?
Why does not work this simple test?
Regards.
Alisher
Edited by: Alisher Babaev on Jan 6, 2012 1:59 PM

Hallo pkrishna,
so it is successed with master data load, but without hierachiies.
My Master Data Properties on Dimension Sheet are:
-ID
-EVDESCRIPTION
-PARENTH1
-CURRENCY
I have mapped as below:
ID=ID
CURRENCY=/CPMB/CURR
/CPMB/CURR- my technical id in BW.
In the Note you advised transformation file has been mapped like below:
-NODENAME=NODENAME
-HIER_NAME=HIER_NAME
-PARENT=PARENT
-ORDER=ORDER
After executing of package i get whether rejected list or log file. No data can be retirieved from InfoObject.
Have you any Idea?
regards

Error when creating a business activity in SAP BPC 10.1

Hi Experts,
I am failing to save a new business activity in SAP BPC 10.1 when setting up a new business process flow. I can validate the the activity successfully, however when I try to save the activity i receive the following message " Saving the workspace failed because of a missing root folder; contact your system administrator"
Please can anyone help me with why I am receiving this message?
Thanks so much

Hi Kudzai,
The error you're getting in BPC 10.1 is because the environments were migrated from BPC 10.0 or older version using transaction UJBR and it was not migrated to 10.1 after the restore.
SAP Note 2052538 provides resolution for this. Please follow the instructions of Upgrade Guide for BPC NW 10.1:
Execute migration program UJT_MIGRATE_100_TO_101 to migrate 10.0 data to 10.1 if the restored environment was backed up from a BPC NW 10.0 system
Execute migration program UJT_MIGRATE_75_TO_101 to migrate 7.5 data to 10.1 if the restored environment was backed up from a BPC NW 7.5 system
Thanks

MDX Statement error in sap bpc 10.1 admin when opening a report

I have restored a previously created environment that was built on the sap bpc 10.1 platform and am receiving the following errors when accessing my reports and clicking refresh. I also received an error when restoring the environment that says "Error occurred in expanding member formula". I don't believe these would be related but I am unable to access the member formulas in the model. I am however able to access all dimensions, etc. I am not able to create any new reports though. Any ideas on a solution.

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.
Regards,
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:

Upgrade SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP4 to SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP8

Hello,
I want to make an Upgrade from SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP4 to SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP8 and i need to know what are the consideration to make that.
Do you have any suggestion, link or information to get this activity?
Best regards

Hello,
As far as I know, you don't need to perform all configuration steps from SP04 to SP08 in ABAP tier, but it is good to check if everything is ok.
You can also check upgrade guide available at http://service.sap.com/instguidesEPM-BPC (choose 7.5 version for SAP NetWeaver).
Regarding Apshell: sometimes a few changes are made in the way things work in the backend (logic) and of course, some improvements also. These changes can be reflected in Apshell, so yes, every time you upgrade you must recreate apshell executing UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT as described in installation guide (also available at the above link).
If you have any problems during apshell activation in SP08, check this thread: Issues on Activating Apshell on BPC Netweaver 7.5 SP08
It is already available Patch 1 for BPC Client and for BPC .Net server, you should also consider applying it (release note is 1597464).
Hope it helps!

ABAP dump during workstatus chaning in SAP BPC 7.5

Hi, Experts
We are working with SAP BPC 7.5 Ramp-up version. We faced a problem - during changing workstatus the system generates ABAP Dump.
We checked ST22 with ABAP Dumps. It contains the following:
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "CL_UJW_WORK_STATUS_DAO========CP" had to be
     terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
ABAP errors are created in the following code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
        <fs_line> TYPE ANY.
CREATE DATA lr_line TYPE (i_tabname).
ASSIGN lr_line->* to <fs_line>.
l_where = 'APPSET = i_appset'. "#EC NOTEXT
LOOP AT it_dim_mem INTO ls_dim_mem.
    CONCATENATE
      l_where ' AND ' ls_dim_mem-dimension ' = ''' ls_dim_mem-member ''''
      INTO l_where RESPECTING BLANKS.
ENDLOOP.
*SELECT SINGLE * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF es_lock_info FROM (i_tabname) WHERE (l_where).*
* fill lock information
CLEAR ls_ujw_statcode.
CALL METHOD me->read_status_code(
               EXPORTING i_appset = i_appset
                         i_status = es_lock_info-status
                         i_spras = 'E'
               IMPORTING es_ujw_statcode = ls_ujw_statcode ).
ABAP dump says that in "SELECT SINGLE * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF es_lock_info FROM (i_tabname) WHERE (l_where).*" exist a dynamically specified column name which is unknown.
Does somebody have the same problems?
Regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel,
This is obviously a bug and it looks like from the code block you copied into the forum that there is an issue with the actual select statements dynamic where clause. I haven't specifically seen this bug but I recommend you do an SAP Note search on the following component EPM-BPC-NW-WS (for work status) in your search criteria put the class name that you found in the dump. This should help you find whether or not a correction has been created (i.e. an SAP note) that solves your issue.
Cheers, Scott

SAP Bpc: automate script logic validation

Is there a way to automate the validation of the SAP BPC script logics?
I ask you that because I have daily SSIS packages and, actually, if I don't manually vaildate the logics every time, using SAP BPC administration interface, the new members are not cosidered into the application.
I tryed the BPC SSIS "Adimin Task" (using Validate Logic mode) but it only checks if the syntax of the logic is correct or not.

Thanx for the replay but, unfortunatly, I think it's not useful for my case.
I use SSIS packages to populate dimensions (such as Employees). In these packages I have BPC Admin Task (in create dimension mode) and it works fine.
The problem is > if I don't go into SAP BPC Administration Console to "Validate and Save" the script logics manually > inside the .lgx file there aren't into XDIM_MEMBERSET the new data I previously imported throught the SSIS packages above (in the exemple the new Employees).
Beeing not into the XDIM_MEMBERSET, the script logic executed by the users excel input schedules cannot manage the new set of data... until I "Validate and Save" the logic manually.

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.

Finance Terminology used in SAP BPC

HI,
There are somany finance tems use in SAP - BPC i have some realated question to it
please reply if you know the answer
1. what is the "Actual" Transaction data require for P&L Planning?
2. what is the "Actual" Transaction data require for Sales ?

Hi,
Usually, we maintain the dimension called category which is similar to versions in SAP terminology. This dimension will have "actual", "budget", "forecast", etc. When the planning starts, a budget will be created for the entire year. Then a rolling forecast is started, which is executed every month or as per the requirement. This forecasted value will be stores in the "forecast" category. Now, when each month passes by, the business gets the actual values. For example, lets say that you are doing a sales planning. Once each month passes by, you get the actual sales the business has done in that month. This value will be stored in the "actual" category.
Hope you got my point.
