  • NEW TO SAP BPC - Advice on Data Management Packages

    Hi,
    I am an experienced Microsoft BI User, but am new to SAP BPC.
    I am working on a project that has required me to create custom SSIS packages for my client. To date my packages transform / cleanse and format the source into a clean CSV file, that requires no further intervention from the user, other than to use the standard SAP BPC Import Routine, with a simple Transformation file.
    In order to fully automate the process, I would like my Custom package to automatically invoke the Standard import package without any user based intervention.
    Can anyone advise on this?
    I have considered writing further logic in my custom package that would completely bypass SAP BPC Data Manager, and insert the information direclty into the Fact Tables, taking into consideration any members that don't exist in the Dimensions. However, I would prefer not to go down this route unless absolutely necessary.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction, so that I can call a clear routine from within my custom package, that would invoke a SAP BPC package /task to clear certain data from the fact table, and then call another Package / task that would update the Fact table based on a fully prepared csv file.
    Many thanks

    You could modify your custom package to perform all the steps thru BPC import and have the user initiate the Package from the BPC Data Manager.  You would just need to add a MODIFYSCRIPT variable (see the standard IMPORT package as an example) and add the BPC tasks required to Convert/Load that data your package already prepares.
    I have had prior success having a custom package initiated from within the BPC Data Manager extract data from an external data source (ie: Oracle), use user provided runtime input to customize data extraction parameters, manipulate the extracted data, and import it into BPC.
    Unfortunately I've never attempted to initiate a BPC task without the package being initiated from within BPC.  But I would surmise that if you provide the proper values for the individual BPC Tasks (ie: Convert and Load) required properties (ie: AppSet, App, User,...), I cannot think why it would not work.

  • Background process of SAP BPC 7.5 or 7.0 NetWeaver or MicroSoft version

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to SAP BPC NetWeaver. I want to know u2026.
    While creating a dimension or an application in BPC 7.5 or 7.0 NetWeaver or MicroSoft Version, what process is going on background, like what tables or what objects are created in SAP BI 7.0 or in MS SQL Server?
    Appreciate your help.
    Regards
    Raja

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to SAP BPC NetWeaver. I want to know u2026.
    While creating a Characteristic InfoObject for Master Data in SAP NetWeaver BW. It creates
    /BIC/P<InfoObject Name>          P table or Attribute Table
    /BIC/T<InfoObject Name>          Text Table
    /BIC/H<InfoObject Name>          Hierarchy Table
    /BIC/M<InfoObject Name>          View of P Table or Attribute Table
    /BIC/S<InfoObject Name>          SID Table
    /BIC/K<InfoObject Name>         
    /BIC/I<InfoObject Name>          Maintain Parent Child relationship
    My query is:
    Does this SAP BPC 10 or 7.5 or 7.0 NW dimension, which is equivalent to an InfoObject in SAP BW creates the same tables in the background in SAP BW.
    An InfoCube of SAP BW is connected with the Dimension Table. This Dimension Table is connected with the SID Table. This SID Table is connected with the Characteristic, which is connected with Attribute Table, Text Table, and Hierarchy Table. Does this SAP BPC 10 or 7.5 or 7.0 NW cube follow the same structure.
    Appreciate your help.

  • How to setup the complex ownership relationship in SAP BPC

    Hi Buddies,
    I am new to SAP BPC. For legal consolidation, I am confused how to setup the ownership in BPC. The senario is following:
        P is the parent company, S1 and S2 are subsidiaries.
        1) P owned S1 80%, ownded S2 90%, meanwhile S1 owned P 20%
            How to setup this?
        2) P owned S1 80%, owned S2 70%, and S1 owned S2 10%.
            How to setup this?
    For above 2 senarioes, how to calculate the Minority Interest? ( Using different consolidation rules?)
    And if there are subgroup, how to see the subgroup result?
    Thanks in advance.
    Maggie Liu

    Hi Will,
    Thanks for reply... Actually, I've tried that before(putting comma after the flag "all," presuming the 71st step shows that I should have 3 members in the memberset under the ICDatasrc dimension. But it also did not work.
    Nope, step 71 did not tell us to use piping and consequently expanding the col key range.
    Thanks...

  • Why not displayed new member in dimension sap bpc?

    Good day guys
    I have the following problem:
    Add new members to a dimension but not displayed.
    example: DIMENSION(inputcurrency) added MEMBER: MXN (Mexican Pesos); when I excel interface I can not see the new member, before this process the dimension and active AppSet.
    that could be?
    Use SAP BPC 7.5 SP8

    Hi Bish,
    Without processing a dimension the data should no go to the database. If you modify the the dimension and you want those new members in report you have to process that dimension. And if you save that dimension after modification its save the members in application sever. while retrieving the data it pick up from the database layer not from application layer, So the on fly calculation are  stored in application layer( Like conversion files, Transformation files, script logics and Member formulas). So if you want the new members in report you have to process. Its by SAP design it self.
    After modification of dimension no need to logoff and login every time. In order to avoid that option we have a anothe solution that is  Activate Metadata Cache option.
    In order to use that go to EPM--> User OPtions---> Activate metadata Option
    You can clear the metadata cache. When the cache is cleared, the structure of the data source you are connected to is synchronized with the structure copied locally; which means that the members of dimensions that have been added, modified or deleted in the data source are loaded.
    For more details related to  Metadata option go to the EPM 10 Office Addin User Guide document which is available in google free of cost

  • 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

  • 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

  • How to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen?

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen when we start BPC. I do not want it to pop up.
    I looked at VBA behind the workbooks but could not find anything. Could not make the sheet invisible.
    Is there a way to get rid of the screen? This is the screenshot

    Re: How to change the logo, (3 Globes) on the launch page
    Posted: Mar 18, 2009 12:46 PM in response to: David Fletcher Reply
    OK then, now v7sp03 for microsoft has hit the shelves, you can change the logo !!!
    It is quite easy.
    Have the logo file ready in either BMP, GIF or JPG format.
    Put it in your "Server Install -> DataWebFolders[Appset]" folder (so where you keep your files).
    In ApplicationSet parameters, add the parameter COMPANY_LOGO and in the options type the name of the file you just put on the server.
    Now if you restart BPC for Excel, the second excel page that pops up should be showing your new logo or graphic (mine did).
    The use of the logo has been documented in the admin manual -> working with appset parameters
    Some tips.
    I wanted not to clutter the filesystem so i put my logo in the appsetpublications folder and added the path accordingly in the parameter (so now it reads appsetpublicationslogoname.jpg instead of just logoname.jpg).
    If you do not supply a name (only the parameter), your second Excel window (normally holding the graphic) will not appear. That could be an alternative too if you find that whole thing annoying.
    Hope this helps you build great BPC apps,

  • Info Of SAP BPC 7.5 NW

    Dear Expert,
    I'm a newbie on SAP BPC 7.5 NW and had a knowledge of SAP BPC 7M before. I found several articles and information about BPC 7.0 NW and never ever touch in BPC NW system, I would like to make sure and maybe more tips from experts. My questions are:
    1. BPC 7M have a dimension in excel format for an user enter members, BPC 7.5NW have same format with BPC 7M ? If not, could I know how an user enter members please ?
    2. I read some articles BPC 7NW for load data for reports, the first step we must to do that create BPC cube which is data from BW cube. Is it correct or maybe BPC 7.5NW have new features ?
    3. Regarding point no 2, Is it correct that data from SAP ECC must be in BW cube first and then create BPC cube for SAP BPC ?
    Thanks in advance for your help and information. I really appreciate your help.
    Kind Regards,

    Hi,
    In the NW version also, the members are maintained in the same way in the MS platform.
    You can load transaction data from a flat file or from a BI cube or from a file in the application server.
    The NW and the MS platforms are very similar with a very few differences.
    Please go through the below link from help.sap for further details.

    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.)

  • SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP15 - Dimension member descriptions are missing

    Hi Expert,
    We are using SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP 15, we use admin and client in spanish language see image attached
    All users see through BPC CLIENT for Excel in spanish mode both ID and descriptions but when we added new user it can´t, just it can see ID member. We refresh Dim Cache member from client side but nothing happens.
    We reprocess All dimensions through BPC Admin Client in spanish mode and doesn´t have any efect in dimension description?
    is there any issue with this?
    please give an advice to follow,
    Thanks for your answer.
    regards.

    Hi Roberto,
    thanks for your anwser
    We checked though BW and saw it that long descriptions were set in Spanish language key which is the same language as BPC for Excel was openend.
    As solution we checked at UJA3_USER_LANGU table, we notice that users in which descriptions are missing were registered in English language, therefore we deleted this user and its language and then was recreated those users through BPC ADMIN client.
    Thank you,
    Giovanni
