Integrated Planning - No ability for restrictions on Aggreg. Level ?

Hi there,
I have noticed in the new Integrated planning that it is only possible to restrict data at the filter level.
In comparison to the old BPS, where you could restrict data at both the Planning Level and Planning package is this not a slight reduction in functionality ?
This will mean that it will be necessary to repeatedly assign variables / static restrictions to many filters which have similar selection criteria rather than maintaining them once at the Aggregation Level
Does anyone know if it is envisaged that selection will be possible on aggregation levels in upcoming support packages?
thanks
Mark

Hi SR,
thanks, so it will be available in BI 7.1 ? (which is SP12 isnt it?) or in a later release ?
Many thanks.
Mark

Integrated planning Content and SEM-BPS Content

Hi Experts
Is there any integrated planning Business Content for CRM? Where do I find it?
SEM-BPS has Business Content planning scenarios for CRM. Is this BC also available in BW-BPS now? Where do I find it?
We use NW04s BI and CRM 5.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hello Erik,
as of now I have not heard of such content.
Also SAP is not talking about CRM-content for BIIP yet. What we have learned is that a lot effort is put into making the system stable and going for "additional" functionalities like BC later.
What you could do is use BW-Business Content for CRM as far as possible (InfoCubes etc. ) and build the Aggregation Levels, Queries & Templates by yourself.
Hope this helps

How data update when there is two planning cubes in one aggregation level

If we have two planning cubes and a multi-cube includes these two planning cubes.
then we have the aggregation level defined based on this multi-cube.
if the characteristics and key figures defined in aggregation level all are included in these two planning cubes. When we plan the data with plan query based on this aggregation level, which plan cube will be updated with plan data, or both of them?

HI Wang,
yes as Bindu said you need to restrict the layout based on the infoprovider.
Lets assume that we have a multi provider M1 and it has two planning cubes cube1 and cube1.
in case u develop a layout for updating cube 1 give the restriction in the filter section as infoprovider = cube1.
or the vice versa.
Else ur layout must input values for both the cubes simultaneously, then in that case create two restricted KF with each having a restriction for cube1 and cube 2.
so wen the user enters value for the first restricted KF it will get saved in cube1 and wen he enters value for the second restricted KF it will gets saved in cube2.
This is how it works. Guess this was useful to u.

Status and Tracking system (STS) with BI Integrated Planning ?

Hi, is posible get some images or demo for show my clients ?
i am reading Salp Help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b6/92bc7479fb11d5b3df0050dadfb23f/frameset.htm
and say :
You can use the BW-BPS Status and Tracking system (STS) with BI Integrated Planning. This is useful if you are already using BW-BPS with the Status and Tracking system but want to use additional functions from BI Integrated Planning.
What is additional functions from BI Integrated Planning ?
Is posible write free text in some areas for planning and option for look from high levels ?
Is posible Insert in the proces STS to "Area Manager" only for look status the Planning (open, in process or finishing) ?
General manager --> Lock when is finishing.
Area manager--> only look status the Planning ?
Submanager of area --> Responsable, Aproval, etc.
planning1
planning2
planning3
planning4
planning5
Submanager of area : Planning TOO.
Thank you ... This is important info and get some images the last version in STS working in web mode, for my client buy the product.

Hi Bala ,
Yes you can use the STS for BI IP also and you need to configure the Planning level and sub plan area and follow the steps to set up STS.
STS still has BPS flavour and can be used in IP.
Hope this helps

Customer Exit in query on aggregation level

Hi,
I try to have variables filled with a customer exit.
The coding of the customer exit is correct, this have been tested in queries on multiproviders.
Unfortunately it is not working when these variables are used on level of aggregation levels.
What I would like to achieve:
We have some planning queries on aggregation levels. Different users can plan on the same query (and aggregation level), but not for the same set of data. Therefore the query should be restricted to the authorized values. Unfortunately we can not switch to the new authorization concept (analysis authorizations) yet, but we already need this functionality very soon.
The customer exits are the only possible option. Unfortunately it seems that the customer exits are not being executed when the variables are used in queries on aggregation levels.
The variables are not ready for input and should be filled in I_STEP = 2
Is this normal? If so, is there a work around?
Thanks in advance for quick replies!
Kind regards,
Bart

Hi,
You can debug your query by putting the break-point in your exit code and execute the query in RSRT. This way you will be able to find if your customer exit is actually being called or not. If it is being called then there can be some logical problem with your code due to which the variable values are not getting populated.

Aggregation Level authorization Error

Experts,
When i try to create a aggregation level in integrated planning i come across authorization error.
Once i give the technical name and description for aggregation level when i choose transfer, i get this error " NO AUTHORIZATION FOR OBJECT ALVL XXXX"
where XXXX - technical name for aggregation level.
Anyone familiar with this error? Please reply ASAP.

I am also getting same authorization error while trying to create aggregate level in planning modeler. Even in Info Provider tab, whatever real time info cube is specified, I get authorization error.
There was a posting by Cecilia Guerra for similar type of auth error few weeks back. It seems the problem was resolved, but solution is not written. I requested yesterday in the same posting to find out the solution. But no reply yet.
We have verified that we have authorization for the following new authorization objects
S_RS_ALVL: Authorizations for working with aggregation levels
S_RS_PLSE: Authorizations for working with planning functions
S_RS_PLSQ: Authorizations for working with planning sequences
S_RS_PLST: Authorizations for working with planning function types
S_RS_PLENQ: Authorizations for maintaining or displaying lock settings
But we are still getting authorization error ...
Best regards,
Sanjeeb

Aggregation Level in not prepared to run on HANA

Hello Experts,
I've the following system configuration:
CPMBPC 810: SP 0001
POASBC 100_731: SP 0005
HANABPC 810: SP 0001
Hence we've PAK and BPC license too for working with PAK.
Now, I've created an Aggregation level: ZTPM_AG01 on top of a Multiprovider which encompasses 2 real time and 1 standard cube. By default all three are HANA Optimized.
Then why I'm getting a red traffic light for both the aggregation level 'ZTPM_AG01' as well as the MultiProvider as shown below:
I've gone through below link:
How to Check whether a Planning Function or a Disaggregation in PAK is executed in Memory
and noted that we were in alignment for the most of the below points except the one in bold:
Is note 1637148 implemented?
Is the system switched to PAK (see note 1637199)?
Is the InfoCube HANA optimized?
Is the InfoCube/DataStore Object entered in the list of HANA optimized InfoCubes?
Is a characteristic relationship type exit or type hierarchy used in the InfoProvider?
Is a data slice type Exit used in the InfoProvider?
Is any virtual object used (virtual InfoCube, master data with own read class etc.)?
Is a key figure type TIMS or DATS used (input enabled)?
Is the user parameter RSPLS_HDB_SUPPORT set to ‘HDB_ON’ (if necessary, see note 1637199)?
Global emergency exit switch is not set using report SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN with parameter object RSPLS_HDB_PROCESSING_OFF with blank or empty value.
I've made user parameters RSPLS_HDB_SUPPORT to HDB_ON.
Can you please let me know, what am I missing here ?
Thanks & regards,
Jomy

Dear DonB evis!
I had exactly the same problem with lightroom as you:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom\lightroom.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
Event log indicates, that "Component identity found in manifest [inside Lightroom - Microsoft.VC80.MFC.MANIFEST] does not match the identity of the component requested".
The theory is that files called manifests tell the system loader that application X (here: lightroom.exe) depend on assembly Y (Microsoft.VC80.MFC). This very CRT assembly is a shared one, and it resides in C:\Windows\WinSxS\.
SO this is a problem of your Windows not Lightroom, which refers to windows shared element which cannot be found (due to .NET installation and policies mess).
Side by side assemblies use publisher configuration files (POLICIES) to globally redirect applications and assemblies from using one version of a side-by-side assembly to another version of the same assembly.
There is a problem on certain machines caused by Windows SP1 to .NET 2.0 which causes problems messing with policies and redirecting applications from using proper shared assemblies.
After installing SP1 (which installs with Windows Update) to .NET 2.0 on those machines it was impossible to reinstall .NET unless you delete the policies inside the C:\Windows\WinSxS\Policies\ folder (I do not know exactly why, but it was my case and several other people too).
In my previous post I described you the process I did two days ago on my system (WinXP Pro with SP2) and after that lightroom start to run.
I am sorry you are experiencing such difficulties, but I would not post my way of solving the problem if I did not test it successfully on my system.
Hope you manage to solve it.
Best regards.

Aggregation Level Deletion (BI-IP)

Greetings Y'all!
Hi Experts and BI Fans! I'm bummed out: How do I delete an aggregation level that I previously defined on top of a real-time cube?
Much thanks and more power!
P.

Hi,
You can do this using the planning modeler. In the Aggregation Levels tab, there is a button to delete. But for deleting a level, you will first need to delete all objects which are using it - filters, planning functions, queries etc.
Hope this helps (also, for quicker answers you should post queries on IP in the Business Planning forum).

Restrict on Navigation attribute in Integrated Planning

Hello,
I have created an Aggregation Level on the Multiprovider(combines Actual and Plan) and I have created a ready to input query on the multi provider. The query works fine for planning.
However, I would like to restrict the query to show only few accounts. Account type is the navigational attribute on the Sold to party and I want to restrict only the Sold to party of Account type 1 2 3 & 4. When I restrict that in the query the Planned values are not editable. I am not able to input the planned values. I am able to input when I take the navigational attribute away in the query.
Could anyone of you please help me with this. Could anyone please let me know the steps to use the navigational attribute in the input ready query or Integrated Planning
thanks,
KK

Hi,
As Sven has mentioned has mentioned you can lock each record by having a characteristic "0createdby".
But you have to create a characteristic relationship of type "Exit" where in you write a small piece of ABAP code to generate the value of "0createdby", when the end user tries saving a reocrd in to the planning cube.
Kindly refer to the following link for more details on characteristic relationship,

Configuration Requirement for Integrated Planning in BI 7.0 with JAVA Addin

Hi,
We have BI 7.0 with Java Add-in installation newly migrated to Unicode.
BW consultants (I am BASIS Consultant) want to use "Integrated Planning". I already checked IMG link of it & JCO destinations mentioned there are not in J2EE engine.   Even I am not able to create b'cos current setup is not on SLD.
I would really appreciate your help on below queries :
1) Can I configure Integrated Planning without using SLD ?
2) Do I need to install BI JAVA to running Integrated Planning ?
3) Do I need to install EP & EP Core ?
I already checked most of SDN thread but sorry couldn't able to get answer to above questions.   I have checked SAP Notes : 901022, 919850, 917950.
Your early reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Narsing.

Hi Balaji,
Thanks for information.   One thing to update with JAVA/JAVA addin portal core components gets installed.   So I didn't installed EP.
Now Integrated Planner is working fine.
Thanks for your help.

Error logging for Integrated Planning

Can I turn on error logging for Integrated Planning. Users get errors and forget to screenshot it to me, so I have no way of finding out what their error was unless I get them to duplicate it. It would be nice to look up a log of errors by user. Do they have something like that in Integrated Planning?
Thanks!

Hi Dustin,
Few comments :
1. UPDATE TASK means that a new background task is create and the function is performed asyncronisly ,with that the user will not wait for the update of the DB to finish ,you can read in SAP help about CALL FUNCTION IN UPDATE
2. Be aware that the table that you create will be extremely large in no time ,you will have to delete data on a regular basis
3. The same concept of the thread can be applied to function module 'RRMS_MESSAGE_HANDLING' this function module is responsible of messaging in BEX 'some times IP related messages are invoked from it.

Eitan.

Activate Integrated Planning for Cost Line Items posting

Hi all,
Based on this SAP Help link, there are two ways to create plan line items:
1) By adding the business transaction "Plan line items" to the user status of the WBS Element.
2) By activating Planning Integration a.k.a. Integrated Planning for version and WBS Element/Project Profile.
Option 1 works fine for me.
However, option 2 does not seem to be working when I activate it, contradicting the state from the link:
If planning integration is active in the fiscal-year-dependent parameters of the relevant planning versions, the system writes cost element planning line items for plan-integrated WBS elements, regardless of user status.
So far what I have customized is:
-In transaction OKEV, select the version, click on "Settings for Each Fiscal Year" and double click for the year. Then I mark both "Integrated Planning" and "Integrated planning with cost center/bus. processes" checkboxes.
-Activate "Integrated Planning" at Project Profile level: go to transaction OPSA, select Project Profile, go to tab "Controlling" and mark "Integrated Planning".
Nevertheless, when I post plan costs from transaction CJR2 using the customizing above (based on second option), I see no cost lines when running CJI4.
I wonder if there is something missing in customizing that allows me to see posted cost line items in CJI4. I would appreciate very much your help.
Many thanks and best regards,
Pablo

Hi Gokul,
Many thanks for the link to that threat, Rachel Tang's reply on that discussion is very complete and included the answer to my question.
She comments that three points must be checked to activate Integration Planning:
1) Mark "Integrated Planning" at CO Version/Year level (SPRO > Controlling > General Controlling > Organization > Maintain versions).
2) Mark "Integrated Planning with costs centers/bus. processes" at CO Version/Year level (same transaction).
3) Ensure WBS Element has Integration Planning marked (PRPS-PLINT = X). [It looks like this is done automatically by marking Project Integration at Project Profile level BEFORE project is created]
In my case, I had first and second steps correct. However, even though I had marked Integration Planning at Project Profile level, it seems that already created Project Definitions are not updated with new Integrated Planning value after it is changed at Project Profile level.
Maybe it is possible to modify WBS Element's Integration Planning flag manually (though SAP OSS Note 301917 states that this is impossible), otherwise I could never achieve Integration Planning for already created projects.
In my case it would be more suitable to use the alternative of adding Business Transaction "Write plan line items" to User Status.
Many thanks to Sanjeev and Gokul for your help.
Best regards,
Pablo

Create a print button in webtemplate used for integrated planning - BI 7.0

Heelo Guys,
Can you please let me know how to add a print button in the web template which has a input query and which is used for integrated planning. The user want to print the report.I haven't worked in web template and thought of asking you if there is any button or standard sap functionality I can use for printing the report . Thanks in advance for your help. We are in BI 7.0.
Thanks
Senthil

Hello
What you are experiencing is not clear for me, but in general you have to install the BI ABAP + BI java to have planning modeler working. Ensure that BI Diagnostics (note 937697) and also ensure that you have setup your system according notes
919850 and 947376.
I hope this helps.
