Need SAP BPC Material

Hi Experts,
I'm new to SAP, i need material pertaining to BPC Implemantation in SAP BW/BI.
It would be great if some one can help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kiran:
It seems to me that you can find very useful information on some of the blogs by Otto Gold, even though they don't provide information related to BPC in particular but to the SAP world in general it is worth to take a look at them.
"Want to switch to SAP consultancy"
"Career switch in the SAP World"

SAP BPC - Formation - Need help

Hello everybody,
First of all, I want to thank all people who will at least read my thread. I'm a junior consultant who need help on SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) - ex. OutllookSoft. So, if you have some tutorials, some documents, something that can help me to learn how to use SAP BPC, I will be very grateful to you. Up to now, I just read the "Help" of SAP BPC (OutlookSoft 4.2.419), the version I have to use. But it is just a technical help, I have nothing about the terms used (what is an application, a member, etc.), the philosophy of the tool, etc. To finish, if someone, from Paris (in France) is using this tool, I can pay him or her to form me on this tool.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards, Ivan.
PS: sorry for my English...

Hi,
You can go to
http://help.sap.com/
And navigate to SAP Business Objects -> EPM Solutions -> Business Planning and Consolidation.
Under the heading, SAP BPC 5.0, click on "Application help and Installation Guide".
This will take you to the document repository in SAP Marketplace. You will get the documents which will provide you with the basic understanding of the tool.
However, you will need S-user ID to ligon to SAP Marketplace.
Hope this helps.

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.
yajepe

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.

Performance issues with SAP BPC 7.0/7.5 (SP06, 07, 08) NW

Hi Experts
There are some performance issues with SAP BPC 7.5/7.0 NW, users are saying they are not getting data or there are some issues while getting data from R/3 system or ECC 6.0. Then what things do I need to consider to check, such as what DataSources or Cubes I need to check? So, how to solve this issue?
What things I need to consider for SAP NW BI 7.0 u2013 SAP BPC 7.5 NW (SP06, 07, 08) Implementation?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Qadeer

Hi,
New SP was released in February, and now most of the new bugs should been caught ,This has a Central Note. For SP06 it's Note 1527325 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP06 NetWeaver Central Note to fix any issues. Most of the improvements in SP06 were related to performance, especially when logging on from the BPC clients.There you should be able to find a big list of fixes/improvements and Notes that describe those. Some of the Notes even have test description how to reproduce that issue in the old version.
hope this will help you

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.
Best regards,
Mihaela

Dynamic Hierarchy - SAP BPC 7.5 MS

Hello everyone. I am running SAP BPC 7.5 on the Microsoft Platform.
The issue I am running into is that I have children entities that have two parent entities. The Entity Dimension has our traditional organization chart. However, our reports require an alternate hierarchy.
Example:
Company A is a child of Company ABC in the org chart
however for reporting purposes
Company A is a child of Company XYZ
I need to pull in company XYZ in the report so that Company A is reported as being a part of it.
I need to be able to set up something using a dimension property that will allow me to pull in this hierarchy into our reports, WITHOUT using expansions.
The reason I cannot use expansions is some of the report will use the traditional org chart and the other portion of the report will use the alternate hierarchy.
I there some way to do this without using expansions?
I have setup a dimension property called "GROUP" that identifies the alternate hierarchy. However, the only way I know to pull it in the report is through the use of expansions in the "MembersSet" filter.
I have also tried to use the "Dynamic Hierarchy Editor" only to discover that you have to define hierarchies for specific time periods, and still use expansions.
Any suggestions? I feel like I am missing something.
Thank you in advance.
Will

Hi Will,
From what you describe I think an alternate (second/ H2) hierarchy is needed.
You can try adding a second hierarchy to your Entity dimension member sheet (PARENTH2) to see if that meets your requirement.
You can only create reports that have a hard-coded row or column key range or a dynamic row/column key range defined in the memberset field.
HTH,
John

Transport Control in SAP BPC 7.0 M

Hi,
We are an IT company with more than 250 reporting units. We intend to implement SAP BPC 7.0 M in our organisation to unify our forecating and reporting process across reporting units. I gather that there is no transport tool available in BPC to transport from development to quality to production. I am curious to know if SAP has provided a best practice for controlling changes to production. What is the best method to ensure that an administrator or a developer does not incorrectly make changes in the production system?
Also how do we convince our internal infra guys that changes have to be made directly in production? We have a central team for remote hosting all our systems and they have raised some following questions related to the security/disaster recovery aspects.
a. What is the backup and recovery procedure in case something happens to the production system.
b. Is there a best practice that I could refer to with respect to transports to convince them.
I am trying to prepare a document to convince them. I have got come inputs from sdn but I would really like an authoritative source to better understand this. Any answers/help would be highly appreciated!
Rgds
Shivram.

Hi Shivram,
for diaster recovery, you can just use the backup/restore functionality in BPC server manager. Where an admin can schedule it. Even you can use the SQL backup functionality, but if you use this you need to manually backup the fileshare folder.
Regarding Transports, yes when the project is already in production, it is a bit dangerous to use the backup/restore functionality as we will loss the production system data. So need to use the dev/QA system to develop and test it and later do the changes manually in production system. Before take a backup of production system, then you will be safe.

Sreedhar

SAP BPC 7.5 - Loading Directly from r/3.

Hi,
anyone which has experience in loading directly from R/3 into SAP BPC ?
are there any starterkits for this ? Only I can find are IFRS, but there are of course many starterkits which can be purchased from 3rd part.
Pro/Cons using this direcly load process instead of having SAP BW in between as a datawarehouse ?
I would appreciate all input.
Thank you,
Joergen Dalby

Hi,
It is possible to have multiple BW/BI systems for one R3/ECC systems. In order for you to load data into both 3.5 and 7.0 systems, you need to difine BI 7.0 logical system in R3/ECC just like your BW 3.5 logical system in R3/ECC. In R3/ECC, the outbound queue (SMQ1) differentiates the deltas based on the logical system name that you have defined (3.5 and 7.0) in R3/ECC system. So, in RSA7 you will see same delta queue name twice but differentiated by logical system name. So you will not have problems loading deltas. Hope this will shed some light.

SAP BPC 7.5 Client, Silent install but with progress bar, can it be done?

Hi All,
I need to uninstall the BPC 7 Client and then deploy 7.5 to around 250 users accross the country.
We have SCCM (SMS) in place so will be using that.
I have the uninstall of 7 sorted and I have the response file etc sorted for the silent install of 7.5 and the install runs, silently, no issue.
Is there a way though that one can "turn on" the progress bar during the install? So that users dont shutdown or disconnect in the 15min it takes the install to run.
By way of example, in the SAP Business objects enterprise client on can configure the Silent install so that although it never prompts the user for a reponse there is a progress bar that runs, indicating that there is an install in progress.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Hi Sebastian,
No worries, I am using a pop up countdown so the users have some idea on progress. Would love to know why the install runs for over 15min.
In the above case the uninstall was easy as we had deployed using MS AppV so it was just a case of deleting the advert in SCCM and the application was pulled from the users desktops.
For 7.5 I am using a vbscript with following to uninstall:
The install string pulled from the clients registry uninstall folder:
RunCommand Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{EC8753EF-EE78-48B5-A4D0-FBBD237B5D53}\setup.exe" & Chr(34) & " -runfromtemp -l0x0009UNINSTALL -removeonly"
We create a custom link, so this deletes it.
DeleteFile "c:\Users\Public\Desktop\SAP BPC 7.5.lnk"
You should be able to create something similar for 7.0 & 7.1
Hope that helps,
Bryan

Edited by: Hemanth Kumar on Dec 25, 2010 5:18 PM

Hi,
This is one of the most common error I encountered during my recent BPC Project . This can be solved by the following ways.
1.Please check the authorizations ( make sure to have full admin authorizations for the Apshell) .
2.Make sure to Re- install both admin & client tools (check the Diagnostics and uninstall re-install both admin & client tools once.)

Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC

Hi Experts,
I am trying to use Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC.
I want following functionality in my dashboard:
1. There is a drop down in the dashboard for Year-Month selection.
2. Based on that selection, the BPC query to be refreshed for the selected month and my dashboard will show data for the selected month. While integrating with WebI using LiveOffice, we used to do this by binding the prompt to a cell in excel and selecting on demand refresh option. Can we do the similar thing while integrating with BPC ?
3. Can we create multiple BPC reports in the same excel file to build the excel model for my dashboard ?
Can these requirements be achieved by using Xcelsius on top of BPC using EPMConnector.xlx ?
Many thanks,
PASG

Hi Sanjay,
You need to use different operation types of the EPM Connector for this.
Have a look at this how to guide:
