Limit dimensions in copy package

Standard, all dims are shown.
Is i possible to only show source en destination for dimensions Category and Time? All other dims are copied to themselves.
Can you elaborated in detail if it is possible?

Hi,
In the standard copy DM, it uses %DIMS% to display all the dimensions. The selections are captured and then are used in the SQL statement to do the copy. Instead, you can use %CATEGORY_DIM% and %TIME_DIM% to display only these 2 dimensions. However, you need to make some changes in the SQL statement as well.
Hope this helps.

OutlookSoft 4.2 SP3: Copy Package on DataSrc dimension

Greetings,
I'm trying to use Copy package to copy previous month's balances for balance sheet accounts into a open balance member of data source dimension. My data source dimension has following members: Total adjustments has two children: input and opening balance.
I am not able to copy total adjustments ( calculated member) into next months opening balance member. I can only copy non calculated data source members. Is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Roman

Here's what i found in Logic help for the CALC_EACH_PERIOD instruction.
Example:
*CALC_EACH_PERIOD
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS OPEN_BALANCE, MOVEMENTS
*REC(ACCOUNT=CLOSING_BALANCE)
*REC(ACCOUNT=OPEN_BALANCE,TIME=NEXT)
*ENDWHEN
The above sample logic performs a carry-forward of the closing balance of each period into the opening balance of next period.
I think this is exactly what I need. Is the sample above assumes separate open balance and closing balance account for each GL account? For example, GL account Cash has two children: Cash_open and Cash_closing.

Error while using Copy Package

Hi,
I want to copy data from category BudgetV1 to BudgetV2,
I have tried to use Copy Package but I always get error with
error message "The file is empty".
Can anyone help me with the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please check if you have data in category BudgetV1. This error normally occurs when there is no data in source specified in COPY package. Make sure to select appropriate members when you specify other source dimensions.
Hope this helps.

Error data file is empty in standard Copy package

Hi,
We have an appset that consists of four applications and we can't successfully run Data Manager Copy package in one of them. It launches the following tasks: Dump, Convert (execution fails in this step with error "Data file is empty") and Load. SSIS configuration in BIDS is defined by default and we haven't set any parameter.
We have figured out this error appears when we select any member of a dimension in "COPYMOVEINPUT" prompt except for Time dimension. Previously there was a custom Copy package based on standard BPC and it only filters by Time dimension. Perhaps this error is related to application configuration to run custom package.
We show code:
INFO(%TEMPFILE1%,%TEMPPATH%%RANDOMFILE%)
INFO(%TEMPFILE2%,%TEMPPATH%%RANDOMFILE%)
TASK(DUMP,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(DUMP,APP,%APP%)
TASK(DUMP,USER,%USER%)

TASK(DUMP,SQL,%SQLDUMP%)
TASK(DUMP,DATATRANSFERMODE,2)
TASK(CONVERT,INPUTFILE,%TEMPFILE1%)
TASK(CONVERT,OUTPUTFILE,%TEMPFILE2%)
TASK(CONVERT,CONVERSIONFILE,%CONVERSION_INSTRUCTIONS%)
TASK(LOAD,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(LOAD,APP,%APP%)

TASK(LOAD,DMMCOPY,1)
TASK(LOAD,CLEARDATA,%CLEARDATA%)
TASK(LOAD,RUNTHELOGIC,%RUNLOGIC%)
TASK(LOAD,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)
Any variables as %CONVERSION_INSTRUCTIONS% aren't defined. Is it a system constant?
Thanks.

Error with standard Copy package

Hello!!
When I run the standard copy package selecting the option "Replace & clear data values" the execution finishes with status error and I receive the next error message in the log:
Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '[Invalid time Member] - EN_NONE|DSP_INPUT|2004_UPA_SEPT|' Key being added: '[Invalid time Member] - EN_NONE|DSP_INPUT|2004_UPA_SEPT|'
If I run the package with the option "Merge" it executes OK.
Anybody help?
Thank you in advance

Hello,
You probalby get this error message beacuse you have not setup the Work Status for this application. Please defined the Work Status you want to use on the appset level and then define the dimensions you want to use to control the work status on the application level. That should solve your issue.

Reg:Copy package problem BPC 7.5

Hi Experts,
i am using standard data manager COPY Package to copy data from one category to another .While copying i use merge functionality but it clear all data in destination category and replaces the data.not sure its BI issue or BPC issue?
Regards,
Vikram

Hello,
I know this post is old, but maybe someone is still looking.
In order not to lose data, you need to try and restrict the dimensions in the left side of the prompt to the members that you want to change, because the copy package first removes all data from destination and then writes the new records. It considers that if you want to copy something over, then data is already present so it doesn't need the old data. The records that will be deleted are selected using the key defined in the right side.
If you want to change a record with key ACC1+B1 to ACC1+B2, you need to specify on the left side ACC1+B1 and on the right side ACC1+B2 (obviously) and data on ACC2+B2 ACC3+B2 and ACC4+B2 will not be deleted, BUT only if this 2 fields represent your entire key.
If the key in your BPC Model contains also other dimensions, and you do not specify a member for them (left side ANY and right side SAME), the package will first delete all data using the right key and then copy the records from the source.
Let's say you also have the dimension TIME, so we need to copy ACC1+B1+2014.01 to ACC1+B2+2014.01, and we already have a record ACC1+B2+2014.02 present. If you set filter to ACC1+B1 on the left side and ACC1+B2 on the right side, the package will first use the right key ACC1+B2 to delete all data present (so the record ACC1+B2+2014.02 present will be removed) and then copy your data changing B1 to B2. However, if you also specify the field TIME in your filter, then the package will use the combination ACC1+B2+2014.01 in order to delete the data present in the system (at this point nothing) and then copy the data.
Hope it helps,

Launch Copy Package for OWNERSHIP app from within the FINANCE app

Is it possible to launch the standard COPY package from within another application?
My case is:
I have an OWNERSHIP application with the standard dimensions ENTITY,TIME,CATEGORY,OWNACCOUNT,INTCO. I would like to copy my ownership data from one period to another as it is faster than doing data input for all my entities
Now the challenge:
I would like to launch this standard COPY package that copies OWNERSHIP data from within the FINANCE application. Otherwise the user always needs to switch from applications.
I know it was possible in v4, but I seem to forget something when trying it v7.0 SP7.
Any help is much appreciated

Dear Shoba,
I tried the following macro
Sub copytest()
Application.Run ("MNU_eData_SelectPackage(""Copy"",""system files/Copy.dtsx"",""Company"",""Ownership"")")
End Sub
When I was in the legalapp, copy package was opened but with the dimensions of the legalapp
When I changed of to the ownership and tried the macro again, it gave me the good dimensions, but that was not the purpose
When I copied the package and changed the %APP%ù it didnt work either
I even changed %dim% to ownaccount,time,category,legalentity,intco and then the good dimensions appeared when launching the package but he gave an error when selection ownaccount, as it is not a dimension of the legalapp.
Do you see other possibilities?
br,
Benjamin

BPC copy package doesnt consider selections

Hi all,
we work with BPC 7.5 Frontend- & Backendpatch 07 on NetWeaver.
We use normaly load_infoprovider package on process chain "/CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROV_UI" to load initial data in our BPC-System. After that loading process we copy the loaded data to other dimension members; for example from "2011.JAN" into "2011.FEB". We always start these two packages with a packagelink which loads the data first and then copy it.
One of our users told me, that he made selections in these packages (in both of it) and the package doesnt consider these selection. For exaple he gave in some selection for a specific month in the copy package of the package link and the package link didnt consider these selection and loaded the data for all month. When I look at the packagelog --> no selections are listed.
Does anybody ever heard about such a problem with these two packages? Maybe its an issue about the package link?!?
Thanks in advance
Christian

SELECTINPUT on a userdefined dimension for a package stored in a team

Hello Experts,
I have a case where a datamanager package selectinput prompt works fine while the package is stored in "COMPANY".
The prompt constains a referral to a userdefined diimension called VERSION. the dimensions available for selection in the prompt are defined like this: "%ENTIT_DIM%,%CATEGORY_DIM%,VERSION".
This works fine as long as the package is saved in COMPANY. As soon as I move it to a team, the user can select the package but cannot select any members for the dimensions are not visible in the prompt.
Anyone encountered this before?
How can I solve it?
Best regards,
Eric

Hello,
It is allready setup as a user package and the user has all the appropriate rights since he can execute a package saved in the same team which is the default "copy" package.
It is only when I refer specifically to the userdefined package that the issue occurs.
Best regards,
Eric

Copy Package

Hi,
I have following issue: I want to launch a copy package which copies dimensions of another application.
So being in the finance application I want to launch to copy members of the Ownerhip application which has of course other dimensions (for example Ownaccount)
Someone knows how to do this?
Br,
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,
I think, if you're familiar with SSIS, you will have better to build a specific package for that, using back-end SQL tables called "mbrAccount" and inject the new member into "mbrOwnAccount" (via a SQL query).
I think standard packages cannot do that.
Hope this help.

How to limit dimensions values of querybuilder

Hi,
I want to learn how to limit dimension value in query builder. i want, the user who run the querybuilder can not see a dimension value which i do not want to display.
For example,
The time dimension has "2000" and "2001" values as default which is defined in database. Normally when i run the querybuilder for create new presentation or calculation, In the dimensions panel of the querybuilder display all values of each of dimension. The user can select values which she/he want from that list.
But i want to limit values which the user can see in the dimensions panel of the querybuilder. for this time dimension example, i want to hide "2001" value from the user. How can i do it. if there is any sample code, please share.
Thank you very much for your helps.

Thanks Thomas, excellent suggestions as always.
If anybody wants more information regarding Thomas' suggestions please refer to
Oracle9i OLAP Developer's Guide to the OLAP DML for the AW Permit command.
In sumamry: To create permission programs, you define two programs with the names permit_read and permit_write. In these programs, you can specify PERMIT commands that grant or restrict access to individual workspace objects. In addition, you write these programs as user-defined functions that return a Boolean value, and the return value indicates to Oracle OLAP whether or not the user has the right to attach the workspace.
For relational security there is an excellent tutorial on the database pages of OTN, follow this link:
http://otn.oracle.com/obe/start/index.html
then follow the links for Oracle9i Database Release 9.2.0.2 - Security - Creating Label-based Access Control. This module describes how to use Oracle Label Security to setup security based on label policies
These security layers should be transparent to the OLAP metadata layer, therefore, once you have implemented your chosen security method your BI Beans application will only need to connect with the appropriate user to inherit the security layer.

Standard BPC Copy Package Fails

Has anyone experienced the standard copy package failing in BPC? I get the error message: 'Object variable or With block variable not set'.

I tried to submit data via an input template and received the same error (Object Variable or With block variable not set). I checked the security and the ID has all functionality access. The member is a base member. I also had the server rebooted and still no luck.
Below is the detail log of the copy pkg:

COpy Package not working as it should in BPC V 5.0

Problem:-
When I choose Replace and Clear Data Values, it merges them .. I have run it few times and each time the data was duobled.
When I chose, Merge Data Values, it cleared and the numbers !!.
Possiable Cause:-
The function seems to be working in reverse order, Could this be bug in the SAP BPC v5.0?
If any of you have any idea how to fix this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Sam

Hi Sam,
Check the modify script for the copy package by going to modify package, view script and advanced tab.
In script, in the prompt comand, '0' should be assigned to Merge data values and 1 to clear data. If it is in reverse order, change it and save it back.
Note that if you are using sql 2005, you can directly modify the script, if it is 2000, you need to modify the EVmodifyscript task in the DTS assigned to Copy package.
Hope this helps,
Kranthi

Copying Packaging Spec

When I am copying packaging spec, the fields 'Category', 'Sub-Category' & 'Group' are getting copied over, however the fields under 'Available UOM', 'UOM Conversions' and Cross Reference' are not getting copied, whether I choose to keep the copied Spec linked to the Template or not. [Both the Spec copied from and the Template used has those UOM/Cross reference fields defined] . Aren't those UOM/Cross reference fields suppose to be copied over to the new Spec? When I create a new Spec from Template, system brings over all fields [UOM/Cross reference etc.] from Template, so I was expecting the same behavior while copying too, since I am linking to the Template during the copying process. Can someone shed some light on this issue please?

I believe that the functional use cases are different. When you are copying from a Template, you are not copying a real existing specification - rather, you are creating a spec with values that should be there by default. These values from a template are typically not meant to be specific to one single specification, but rather to a grouping/classification of specs. Perhaps a Beverage type specification, created from a Beverage template, would have certain Available UOMs that a Sauce specification would not. Cross References on a template may be used for pack size purposes, which may also be specific to a template.
When you copy an existing specification, the assumption is that the specification is linked to some external system(s) using the cross references - if those were copied over, you could have an possible discrepancy. Also, since you are doing a copy and not a new revision, we assumed the UOM info would be different so is is cleared out.
