New version of BPS

Hello there.
Unfortunately I have not been working with BPS for a while now and am training back up on it.
Can anyone tell me if powersim is still being used in the latest versions of BPS.
Also, how can I tell what version of BPS I am working on?
Is it the same as the SEM-BW installation version?
Thanks
Paul.

Hi Paul,
you can find release information on the SAP Service Marketplace http://service.sap.com/bi > SAP BW-BPS.
In all releases, you can use Powersim (not sure if all Powersim version will work, check with the vendor).

  • Version in BPS

    Hello Gurus.
    There is a concept of version in BPS.
    Q1. What is the purpose of having version?
    Q2. Where do we define version? For ex: i want to plan on version 001,002,003 for different levels. Do i need to upload the version data from flat file or do we need to punch in transactional cube manully..
    i am not very much clear regarding version...I would appreciate if someone thro some light on this..
    regards
    Ram

    Hi Praveen
    Thanks for the reply. We didnt started BPS till now..and next week we are going to start. In 0version infoobject i can already see few version like:
    000     D     Plan/Ist - Version              
    000     E     Plan/actual version             
    001     D     Planversion Änderung 1          
    001     E     Plan Version: Change 1          
    002     D     Planversion Änderung 2          
    002     E     Plan Version: Change 2          
    003     D     Istkosten vs. Sollkalkulation   
    003     E     Actual Costs vs. Target Costs   
    100     D     PS: Fortschrittsversion         
    100     E     PS: Progress Version            
    110     D     PS: Prognoseversion             
    110     E     PS: Forecast Version
    I think these are readly given by SAP. If i want to create new version..can i upload the versions directly from flat file or after entering the planning data that version will come at sit in 0version object.

  • Saving indifferent versions in BPS

    Hi,
    I'm trying to save all changes made on a particular record.We need weekly comparision of records.
    For eg:
    Transaction Number - 53
    Plan Revenue - 10,000
    Tomorrow if the value is changed to 15,000
    When i'm trying to pull all data into bw based on last changed date i'm getting a value of 25,000.which is incorrect.
    Is there a method where i can capture all changes on a particular transaction for comparision purpose.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pat.

    Hello Saritha,
    There are two things you can do - depending on what your scenario is.
    1. Only track the changes (i.e. deltas):
    You crate a derivation that fills an additional characteristic in the record that holds a time stamp. If you have a value of say 10,000 and change it to 15,000 then the delta (5,000) will be saved with that time stamp. You could use a BW query to show the sum over all changes done after a certain point in time. There is a how to paper that describes ho such a derivation can be done (How to... Line items in BW-BPS).
    You could also compare the "old" total against the "actual" total in your BW query provided that you set the restrictions for the key figure properly. You cannot make a comparison in the BW-BPS itself - if you exclude the time stamp from the area you will always see the overall total, if you include it you will see the single delta records.
    2. Track the changed values
    You could also save the changed values to a new version by running a copy function on save in your planning folder or web interface (for web interface there is a how to paper as well). You would not be able to see the deltas but you can compare the version within the BPS.
    In both cases you have to be careful about the number of records.

  • Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

    For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
    Please help.

    It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

  • I have the latest version of Pages installed, yet there are documents I try to open and the message "you need a newer version of Pages to open this document".  Help?

    When I try to open some of my documents, the message "you need a newer version of Pages" appears; yet, I have installed the latest/newest version. How do I clear this up? Thanks.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • 7.1.3 will not install, Says I have a "Newer Version", but none installed!

    Okay,
    As I'm sure most people have noticed,the new build of iTunes is not running smoothly. I've tried to install the updated build but it wouldn't work. It installed iTunes and the New Quicktime. It failed to open. So I do what apple tells me to: Try re-installing it.
    But after uninstalling both to try and reinstall, iTunes won't install quicktime anymore. And when I try to use the standalone Quicktime installer, it tells me that I cannot install because I have a newer version than 7.1.3 on my computer!And when I install iTunes (without it installing quicktime, on it's own mind you)and then open it, it says I must have Quicktime installed to use it. Even my Quickitme plugins for my internet don't work!
    I know this is impossible. And I've tried to rectify it every way I know how. Delete the remaining files in Windows and Program Files, use the Windows Installer Clean Up tool, try re-installing in safe mode, BUT NOTHING WORKS! I'd really like to use the new iTunes but I can't do anything with it untill I fix the quicktime problem.
    If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated. Thank you.
    ~JYH

    Rob,
    There is no quicktime folder there. And no quicktime program is installed when I try to install iTunes. The only reason I tried installing quicktime in standalone was because the itunes install was not actively going to the quicktime part of its installation.
    I've tried removing everything and only installing iTunes. But even after deleting the physical files, using the WIndows Install cleanup tool, and cleaning up my registry, the quicktime portion of the iTunes install doesn't complete, and I keep getting "unknown" errors from the crash prevention program, and from what I can see it's because there's no physical Quicktime program installed.
    As for other accounts, no I cannot start it up with other accounts, I keep getting the "Unknown" error and there is no physical files for quicktime anywhere.
    And selective startup doesn't seem to work as there is NO qttask option when I run selective startup.
    So, I seem to be out of options, and thing else I could try?

  • My Mozzilla crashed: "We're Sorry....Firefox had a problem..." I download the new version and it is still giving me the crash report.

    I tried to loading in "safe mode" but I still could not open Firefox.
    I never received a crash i.d.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • How can I get an older iTunes U account enrolled in newer version of iTunes U?

    My institution originally signed up for iTunes U in 2010, but due to various reasons, we never went live with our site.  We are now ready to proceed, but we need to get enrolled in the newer version of iTunes U.  I was directed to go to https://eduapp.apple.com and send a note saying that we wanted our older, private account enrolled in the newer version, but for whatever reason, I cannot log in, despite trying multiple computers and browers.  I know my Apple ID and password are correct, as I just logged into this site with them.  Is there anyone on here who can help me?  The institution is Aiken Technical College.

  • I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in.  Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

    No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

  • Uninstalled new version, horrible. Installed the older version and now it won't open! HELP WANT MY MUSIC!

    I installed the new version thinking it would be the same, It was horrible! uninstalled it... Installed the older version and now it won't open and when I try it says it can't because the library can't open because it was used on a newer version. Come on! I just want my music! How do I open this and get my music back.
    I put my Ipod in and it still says the same thing, what's going on? Please help me!

    I don't know whom to thank first-- b noir for telling me about the Lorraine fix or Lorraine for figuring out the fix. THE LORRAINE FIX WORKED FOR ME!!! (I feel a little like I am advertising "Hooked on Phonics" with that last line!)
    Thank you doesn't say it strongly enough, but THANK YOU b noir and Lorraine for your help. I was to the boiling point last night and starting to get there tonight. Now I am resting easy and thankful that there is a community of computer users out there who care enough to troubleshoot problems together and work together to figure out a solution--and then to take the time to post and share information.
    I would STRONGLY suggest that anyone who is having the iTunes issues where iTunes just plain won't open at all after downloading the newest version and has a pc with Norton Internet Security 2005 try the "Lorraine Method."
    I am so happy I think I might sing. Or not--I will let my songs on iTunes do the singing for me now that I can again!!!!!!!
    And to those still looking for answers--be patient--I now know how incredibly frustrating this can be and I hope that you all find your solutions very very soon!!

  • I have the following error The file "iTunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

    Can anyone help me with this problem.  I tried updating the latest itunes and it caused an error MSVCR80.dll missing.  I then tried fixing it after reading other people had the same problem and a solution was given about uninstaling itunes and the order in which to do that.  I did that but now get the error "the  files "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of itunes.  I see a solution has been given about this but I cannot find what is suggested to enable me to follow instructions.  Can anyone please go through step by step (letting  me know where I can find what is needed) to enable me to be able tio log into itues again.  Thanks

    Hi pussygalore,
    If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    You may want to make sure that in the last step (reinstalling iTunes) that you are installing the latest/newest available version, and not attempting a reinstall from an older file.
