Migration to SAP BPC 7 SP 9

Can I migrate to SAP BPC 7 SP 9 directly from SAP BPC 7 SP 7 ?
May be a silly doubt..
Advance Thanks for the answers..
Regards,
Saravana Prabhu

The only issue with going from SP7 to SP9 is, starting with SP8, they changed the authentication method for the Excel Client so your current clients will not auto-upgrade even if you have that option selected in Server Manager. You will have to manually reinstall the clients to SP9. Going forward, any new SPs will allow for auto-upgrade of the clients once again.
And just for your information, SP10 is the most current Service Pack for BPC 7.0 SP11 will be available May 11th as well.

Which one is the best way in migration from sap bpc ms 5.1 to nw7.5

Hi,
I am doing Migration project from SAP BPC MS to NW.
In this which one is the best way migrating By manually or By using SAP Migration tool.
What are the merits and demarits migrating by manually.
The data is moving from MS to NW as it is by using sap migration tool.
Could you please answer my questions as early as possible.

Hi,
You would need manual effort anyways. Some of the objects are not either migrated or you need to update manually after the migration. Example, reports have to be modifed and as they may not work due to some of the options.
Also your packages, script logic etc have to recreated. So its upto you as the migration toosl takes across your appset, applications, dimensions and the master data etc. The manual involvement is inevitable. You need to probably take what the tool allows you to do and make manual corrections for the objects that are not supported.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Custom Process Types not working in SAP BPC 10.0

Hi Experts,
We have migrated from SAP BPC 7.5 NW to SAP BPC 10.0 NW.
We have three Custom Process Types created in BPC 7.5NW using the super class CL_UJD_SIMPLE_ACTOR as super class.
It has been made Obsolete and Final class in BPC 10.0NW and the Custom Process types are not running as expected.
Can you please suggest if there is any alternative for using the existing custom process types? Or do we have any alternative for creating custom process types?
*Note: We have tried replacing the superclass with CL_UJD_ACTOR instead of CL_UJD_SIMPLE_ACTOR but of no use.

Balraj.

Hi Krishna,
As you are not upgrading your version but you are migrating from one BPC platform to the other, you need to follow all the rules of installing fresh SAP BPC version. As you have not specified from which version you are migrating and to which version, you can refer to the following link for installations and upgrades (You need to login using your S-user ID):

Restore the components as they were before in a Migration (SAP BPC) - DOC

Hello,
I am going to do a Migration from Outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to a SAP BPC 5.1 SP6 in a productive instance (Cluster system) with 2 front-end & 2 back-ends and I wan to know if someone knows is there a way to do a good backup incase it turns out to be a failure in the migration, I want to have a restore document incase.
Does someone has this document. Does SAP has this document to restore the components as they were before?
Best regards...
Pablo Mortera.

HI Pablo,
Actually you are not performing a migration you are performing an upgrade.
You have to do backup of your appset.
You have to upgrade just one application server and to shut down the second and to see if it is working find everything after the upgrade.
If it is not then you have tu uninstall this server and to install again the old version 5.0.
Restore the appset and you will have again the system up and running with old version.
Regards
Sorin

Upgrade to SAP BPC 7.0 with cluster system (Front-End & Back-End)

Hello,
I have to do an upgrade document about an outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 in a cluster system.
It has 2 front-ends (IIS cluster windows) & 2 back-ends (SQL Cluster).
We are going to do first the migration in 1 node, and then in another. The first upgrade in the first node I understand. I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then restore the backup of the Appset, and do the posts upgrade action of the Dimension TIME.
But in the second, what do we do??? I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then what??? Do I have to restore the backup of the Appset again???
I need help.
Best regards.
Pablo Mortera.

Hello,
On the second cluster node, you have only to install the software, nothing related to the appset. If you alreay run the migration stepts for the appset, all the information are into daatbase and file server.
However, the normal behaviour is to make the installation on the both nodes, make the basic tests to validate the installation and then proceed with the appset migration.

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.

SAP BPC 7.5 SP6 on Win 7 x64bit & MS Off 2010 - Path not Found errors

Hi,
We have currently started a test group of 16 users to test Win 7 before migrate the entire company. Some of the test users are in Accounting and they use SAP BPC 7.5 for their Budget and Forecasting. We have Win 7 x64 bit and MS Office 2010 installed. For one user, after logging into the Production server for BPC he opens the report library and he is unable to get certain macros to allow for different changes within the excel spreadsheet. For example, there is a section that asks him to change the company name. When he clicks on the field to do so it says "Path Not Found".
Another user when he tries to open up a report, he gets "Loading Dimension information..(Customer)" then a popup comes and says File not found. We have tried to uninstall and reinstall BPC on the new machines to no avail.
Any help you can provide would be great. If more information is needed, please let me know.
Thanks,
Lakiasha Walker
IT Security Administrator

Hi Lakiasha,
Could you re-install .NET 2.0, .Net 3.0. .Net 3.5 framework on the machines and check the results.
I guess you may need to upgrade your BPC server as well as client version to SP8 ( minimum) to work with MS office 2010.

How to use the RateEntity dimension in SAP BPC?

Hello everbody,
I am implementing a consolidation process using SAP BPC. I want to use the RateEntity dimension, to translate a same currency into different exchange rates depending on the company.
I want the company which ID is GFU (which is from Brazil) in LegalEntity dimension is converted using a special exchange rate. I have added a GFU member in RateEntity dimension, and I have entered the exchange rates for the member GFU and for the member Global in RateEntity dimension.
But the problem is that after I run the FX Restatement package, converted data for this company is not the proper one, because Global exchange rates have been used instead of GFU exchange rates. Does anybody know why? Do I have to do anything else?
Thank you very much for your time

Migrating an SAP 4.7x110 system on W2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64)

We want to migrate an SAP 4.7x110 system on Windows Server 2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64). Afterwards we want to upgrade the system to ECC 6.0.
According to PAM, 4.7x110 is not supported on Windows 64-bit.
According to note 960769,
"After the migration to the 64-bit hardware, your SAP system may have a status that is not supported by SAP for productive use (see Note 814834). You may need to upgrade to a new SAP release. In this exceptional circumstance, SAP offers support for the duration of the upgrade. Note that SAP does not support a longer, more productive use of such a system for the period after the migration and before the upgrade....
...We generally recommend to use SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) for the productive use on x86_64. However, the 32-bit operation of SQL Server 2000 on Windows x86_64 64-Bit (supported by Microsoft) is also supported by SAP...
...The following table illustrates which OS/DB combination supports each SAP release in the target system.
Source System   Target System (Kernel, DB Software)     Support Comment
3.1I   3.1I 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit    only for upgrade (a,c)
4.0B   4.0B 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit    only for upgrade (c)
4.5B    4.5B 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit    only for upgrade (c)

According to note 814834,
"SAP supports the x86_64 platform on Windows 2003 Server SP1 x64 for kernel 4.6D and kernel 6.40 and higher. ... For product versions based on kernel 6.40 and higher, only 64-bit operation is supported."
According to note 905634, about SQL Server 2005 support (where a mention to R3E 4.7 x110 is missing)
"Supported SAP products based on SAP_BASIS 6.20 and SAP_BASIS 6.40

According to all this information, may I move our 4.7x110 system onto a Windows Server 2003 SP1 64-bit, SQL Server 2005 64-bit, and after that we would upgrade to ECC 6.0?
Thanks !!!

Sorry, I forgot posting the SAP answer, which is also "Yes":
30.07.2008 - 16:19:00 CET - Respuesta by SAP
Dear Eva,
Yes, you can move to the 64 bit platform with SQL Server 2005 according
to note 960769.
Information in note 905634 means there is no installation DVD for
release 47x110 for SQL Server 2005. So it is not possible to do a fresh
installation of 47x110 except if you follow the workaround of note
899111 (for x64).

Reports from SAP BPC NW 7.5

Hi All,
Our Landscape:
SAP ECC EhP1
SAP BW 7.10
SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 (WebI/Crystal/Xcelsius)
SAP BPC NW 7.5
We are new to BPC. We would like to know where do we need to develope the reports on BPC data. Can some one help me on this. If some one have any best practices or options that where we can develope the reports, pls let me know
Like we can do reporting directly on BPC with only couple of reports from BW/BOBJ or all reports from BW/BOBJ.
Here we are planning to use BW as warehouse solution and BOBJ tools for reporitng on BW data.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
BPC is a planning & a reporting tool. It can also be used for Consolidation. As mentioned in the previous reply, the data in BW has to be made available in BPC Application (cube) to be able to report it out.
You might need to create transformation files and conversions files between your BW cubes and the BPC cubes to realise the data transfer to BPC application (cube). Note, BPC cubes are automatically generated when you create an application from the BPC front end.
Please refer to some good introductory blogs available on SDN to get to know the BPC terminology and BW terms. Then BPC has an reporting tool in itself. You can create reporting using EVDRE for example which displays the data landed in BPC cubes. This typically will have actual data (loaded from BW), plan data (planned through Input Schedules or flat file data loads).
Hope this give some brief idea.
Thanks

SAP BPC MS 7.5 with Extended Analytic Analyzer and EPM connector

Hi experts,
I need your inputs regarding Extended Analytic Analyzer add ins.
I installed the SAP Business Object Extended Analytic Analyzer hoping to integrate the Xcelsius in SAP BPC MS 7.5
I am following the HTG to integrate but got lost.
In EPM connector steps, I cannot find the option from OPERATION TYPE: Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
The only options available under operation type are
EPM Report
Retrieve Environments
Retrieve Models
Retrieve Dimensions
Retrieve Dimension Members
Input Data
Retrieve Business Process Flows
Retrieve Context
Retrieve Members Property Values
RetrieveText From Library
It doesn't include the option Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
Im wondering if there are different version of the epm connector? Was my EPM connector differs from the HTG?
And also in Excel under Extended Analytic Analyzer, the function =GETREPORTDEFINITION() is missing
Please help me on this guys..
Thanks in advance.

It seems a very good oportunity to use FIM.
FIM was designed especially for exchange data betweeen different SAP product.
FIM will provide an easy way to do the conversion using wizards and also will assure you about data inetgrity and quality.
This will be the way forward but more details has to be define during the implementation.
I hope this will help you.
Kind Regards
