Launch specific BPC Excel Report/Input Schedule or BPF from Infoview

Hi all,
We would like to launch either a specific BPC for Excel report and/or input schedule, or link to a specific BPF from BOBJ Infoview (probably a Webi report).
Therefore is it possible to provide a url to Webi to do this?
This is BPC NW 7.5
Many thanks,
Andy

Hi you all,
we are dealing with the same problem in our project. Our customer is implementing BPC and wants the Excel input schedules to be launched from the same place where their current BI (BO) reports are stored. That's InfoView, or actually soon BI Launchpad 4.0.
Is it anyhow possible to launch a normal BPC Excel input schedule directly from InfoView/BI Launchpad? I tested a bit with OsCLD function with a published Input schedule, and using the link OsCLD returns as Launchpad hyperlink, it's possible to open the .xls file in Launchpad browser window. Of course, none of the BPC's own structures or functions are there so it's just a plain excel sheet, not an really input schedule... so I guess BPC for Excel must be running when opening them and that pretty much is the same as using them directly from the Excel UI. But it's not the solution the customer wants to use.
Their reason for using Launchpad is that they control user access to their current reporting with the InfoView folder structure and want to use the existing authorization this way for BPC planning too.
Any suggestions?
BR,
Andy

Vijay,
   you can achieve this with a single evdre saved as an Input schedule...
couple of pointers
1)if you do not want   to have the col names changing with a change in current view......put a NOEXPAND   for the TIme dimension in the expansion range(where you have SELF,DEP etc)
2)for the report part....use getonlyrange    to have it pulled from the DB instead of user entering data...
go to helpsite   for the exact usage of NOEXPAND and GetOnlyRange..play around enough...i'm sure you'll figure it out!!!!
hope it helps....

How can BPC display the property in report input schedule

When create a property, if the InApp is check, we can use the property in the MDX Query, however what is the best way to display the property in report and input schedule?
Although we can use the EvPRO function, but according the definition of EvPRO
"The EvPRO (Property value) function returns the value of a specified property for a specified member."
for example =EVPRO("Finance","Sales","Currency") will returns USD, if the currency value for the member Sales is U.S. dollars., if I have a property group for account dimension, how could I display the value of group for all the account number?

Hi
you just use EVPRO like you mentioned:
=EVPRO(Finance,$D20,group)
In the cell $D20 your account number is displayed. You copy this function down for each account.
-> just create an input schedule or report from a template, open the configuration panel. There you see this principle used for property High Level, Calc, ...
D
this method is perfect but you need to add the formula each time.
I would prefer to use the formula using the after or before range in expansion options of evdre which would make it dynamic and you need not copy paste the formula to derive the property each time.
Cheers
Thanks and Regards

BPC 7.5 Input Schedule in Excel 2010 - Expand time dimension dynamically

Hi BPC experts,
My project dimension has two properties, one for startdate and one for enddate of the underlying project. Example: Project XYZ, startdate: 2010.APR, enddate: 2011.JUN
In my input schedule I need the timespan to expand on month level from 2010.APR up until 2011.JUN. In this case it needs to expand 15 months where each month is displayed per column.
The issue is that all projects have different start and end dates and the expansion on month level needs to adjust accordingly. There is no maximum project time frame but if it helps I can live with a maximum expansion of for instance max 100 months.
I have another dimension for time with a hierarchy year - quarter - month (month being the basemember).
Every tipp highly appreciate!
Regards
Sven

Hi,
1) i use EvMBR for list values the CEBE necesaries.
2) Define ListBox by source list the EvMBR
Is necesary use Index() for get value the indice returned by Listbox when is selected the value.
3) Use EvGTS() linked to value getting by Index()
4) This is code in EvGTS:
=SI(EVGTS($N$11;1;"CEBE:CI1CA001";$N$14;"CUENTA:ZACB0001";$N$16;I28;"MONEDA_PPTO:USD";"PARAMETRO:NA";$N$20;$N$21;"SUCURSALES:NA";$M$27;$N$24)="#NODATA";"";EVGTS($N$11;1;"CEBE:CI1CA001";$N$14;"CUENTA:ZACB0001";$N$16;I28;"MONEDA_PPTO:USD";"PARAMETRO:NA";$N$20;$N$21;"SUCURSALES:NA";$M$27;$N$24))

BPC 10.0 Input Schedule refresh : investigating performance issues on frontend side

Hello,
We are running SAP BPC NW 10.0 SPS8.
We recieve a lot of complaints regarding performance issues.
More specifically BPC Input Schedule refresh takes ages (11 minutes actually)
I am a SAP Basis Administartor with some solid BW experience, but very linited BPC knowledge.
So raf we have tried the following :
* BPC Full and light ptmimize of the BPC Cubes.
* Updating Oracle Statistics
* Activating ABAP/SQL traces*
* Checking USJTAT Logs
Then it rutned out that the perfromance problems werre not caused by the backend SAP BW server (only 9 seconds of bakend processing are displayed in UJSTAT).
The overwhelming majority of the processing is spent on the frontend side : on the computer of the user.
We really would like to know what is happening on BPC Frontend side, but are really lacking any investigative method .....
other that checking memory/CPU usage o nthe frontend computer.
From your experience, is there any tool/method to allow to conduct some investigation on what is going on the frontend side, when a BPC Input Schedule is refreshed ?
Thank you for your attention.

Hello Vadim,
We still need to get confirmation from the external consultants who developed the BPC solution, but as far as I can understand it :
We do not use use member formulas
We are indeed talking about EPM (without EPMRetrieveData functions)
The perfromance problems occur in DEV and QAS , after a restore of the BPC environment (backup from PRD)
We already had the problem in the past, but we never knew precisely how to solve it, it is as if there was some missing links between the restored BPC environment from PRD and the DEV/QAS system
One additional information, we checked the EPM CLient Log , and here are the errors displayed while refreshing the input schedule :
The thing is that I have no idea what it means ...

Displaying current work status in BPC Excel report

Hi All,
Could any of you tell me how do we retrive the current work status that has been set for a particular application on to a Excel?
We would get this in BPC WEB reports, but we are lookin gto display it in excel itself.
Does EVLCk function have any link with this?
can any one share the details of list of EV functions that can be used in BPC 7.0.
Regards,
Swetha

Hi Swetha-
SAP Note 1348997 "BPC NW 7.0 SP03 Work Status Explanation" provides a detailed PowerPoint deck that explains the specifics around Work Status. Please note slide #39 and the mention of EVLCK.
A few additional notes that may be of interest:
EVLCK became available to SAP BPC 70 NetWeaver with SP02 (pls review SAP note 1310443, as well as the "BPC 7.0 SP03 NW Documentation Updates" in Note 1349538).

BPC Excel Reporting

Hi all,
I want to plan for 2010 comparing 2009 actual. My understanding is using evdre function.
1. So 2009.MONTHs ACTUAL vs 2010.MONTHs PLAN
2. As 2009 data is actual, it would be brought from BW so the datasrc would be UPLOADED DATA. Whereas 2010 plan would be manual planning (datasrc u2013 MANUAL).
How to integrate both?
Thanks
BSV

Hi Bharath,
You can have Datasource included in your expansion. For example, if you want compare 2009.MONTHs, UPLOAD with 2010.MONTHs, MANUAL what can be done is to have COL expansion for Time, Datasrc. Specify Memberset for Time as BAS(2009.TOTAL),BAS(2010.TOTAL) and for DataSrc as UPLOAD.
Expand and then manually change the DataSrc for 2010.MONTHs as MANUAL. After this make the evdre static.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Shoba

BPC Input Schedule: DELETE button erase background color

Hi,
Can anyone help on the following problem:
I have an input schedule (either with nested rows or simple) and BPC by default marks all changed cells with red color. But when [DEL] button key is pressed in a cell all other marked cells on the same row loses their red color and became white again. It's undesirable behavior.
I've searched the forum and internet but nowhere this topic arise, maybe i'm doing something wrong. The one idea is to write a VBA macros which automatically recognize modified cells and then restores their previous backgrounds. Is there another solution?
Thank you!
Ivan

Hi,
When you create a report/input schedule using standard formating option system will generate with [multiple format|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/87/2e5940a305405f957eb987daf30d5b/content.htm] .When you change the value it will turn to Red beacuse it defined under format range with criteria CHANGED and format with Red color. But system will not recognise DELETE as change. That is why if you want to delete a specific value you should make that value as 0 then only system will consider that as change other wise system would prompt you a message "There is no data to refresh".
I think you have to write your own macro if you really want to use DELETE function,instead of zerorise the values.
hope it helps...
regards,
Raju

How to reduce the size of Input Schedule (Excel Template)

Hi,
I am preparing Static Input Schedule (Due to complexity, I am unable to use EvDRE). Due to many EvSND's and Formulas used in the template, the file size is almost more than 10 MB.
So it takes a lot of time while opening the template. So is there any way to reduce the size of the excel file (Input Schedule template).

Here are some suggestions on ways to reduce the size of your static input template, which sounds to be rather large. Please note that these suggestions are not in any order with regards to being the most effective in reducing the template, but overall should help in reducing the size.
- Make the EvSNDS as dynamic as possible. Even though it is a static template, try not to use an EvSND formula which contains a reference to each dimension you are loading to. I'm not sure how many dimensions you have in you application, but if you are referencing 12 dimensions in each EvSND, and you have thousands of EvSNDS, that takes alot of size. So, if you are doing this, see if there is any commonality with any dimension with the input schedule and hardcode that dimension's member in the control panel. For example, if all the evsnds are going to the same Category (i.e. BUDGET), you do not need to reference the cell with memberid BUDGET in each evsnd cell, but instead be sure it is set in the Control Panel of the Template correctly.
- Only have base level members in the input template. Many input templates are built so that after the data is sent, the summary level (or parent level members), are retrieved in the template so users can see summarized results after a send. If possible, build the report with base level members only, and build a report to view summarized report.
- Keep the number of Woksheets in the template to a minimum.
- Make the layout of the report as simple as possible. Try to keep the Conditional Formatting to a minimum.
- With regards to the formulas in the template which you mention, I'm not sure if you are referring to Excel calculation formulas, or something else, however you do want to keep the use of formulas to a minimum.
I hope this information helps.

Performance testing of Input schedule and report

Hi All,
We are checking the time taken for a template to expand and refresh,
In a scenario, a report with 18000 rows expanded in 80 seconds,
But in BW backend system it shows,
SQE Query read: 5 seconds
It means remaining 75 seconds are required for front end, Is it possible to split up this time like where it takes more time.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramanathan

Hi,
Dynamic EvDre with formating on degrades report / input schedule performance.
Please check whether your input schedule with formating or not?

Moving a template or input schedule from one environment to another in MS

Hi team,
Can anyone let me know how does any template or input schedule is moved from one environment to another in MS version?
Please give me steps.. Appreciate your great help....
Thanks,
Chandrakanth.K

Hi Chandrakanth,
if you want only the template the easiest is just copy the xlt file from the same folder from one server to the other.
If you want to copy all the environment (even data) you can use backup and restore from the server manager (appset\server backup save the zip file on the destination environment and restore it).
From the BPC MS 7.5 SP06 and 10.0 SP01 even the SAP Enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+) is enabled, for this please see http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/25924

How to kill/stop a report from InfoView/CMC ?

Hi All,
I have CRS2008 v1 environment running reports against Sybase database. Users run reports from Infoview. I would like to know what the best way to kill or stop a report that has been triggered from Infoview? Kill the spid from sybase or is there a way to kill it from Crystal?
Thanks
Ajith

I want to kill reports run by users if they affect the system performance due to large volume. In that case the stored procedure that the report uses to select data might run for longer periods and I want to able to kill that process. So the question is which is better ?
1. Kill the spid for that report stored procedure in Sybase
2. Stop/delete the report instance from crystal if it is possible.

BPC for Excel Input Schedules

Hi
With Input Schedules in BPC for Excel, is there an easy way to see which cells get uploaded ?, for example, if I open a report written by another person, how can I easily see which cells get upload when MNU_ESUBMIT_REFRESH runs ?.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards
Gavin

HI,
There is no specific way (something like a menu command). You can define a specific colors or format for the cells(or some formulas which change the format of the cell), but this is related to the input schedule design.
Best regards,
Mihaela
