SEM CPM Management Cockpit in Business Object

Hi,
Can the Cockpit used in SEM-CPM module can be created using Business Objects?.
if so, is there any documents or links which can give an idea?. I got an initial response from BO General forum that it cannot be done, but i would appreciate if this gets answered from this forum as well.
Please let me know.
Regards,
Ashok v

Hello Ashok,
In my opinion, this tool cannot be used in Business Objects.
Our [end user documentation|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000713358&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&] does not have any comment. I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

hi
Balanced Score Card has to be configured as follows:
First You have to Define Strategy
For Example Strategy : Revenue Growth
For this particular strategy u can have 4 perspectives
1. Financial Perspective
2. Customers Perspective
3. Internal Process
4. Learning & Growth
For Financial Perspective: You can have different Objectivees
eg for objectives:1. New Revenue Sources
2. Increase Profitablilty thru Premium Brands
Next For each objective u can have measures and initiatives
For eg: for increase Profitablity thru Premium Brands
Measures: Profit, Revenues
Initiatives: Allocate Budget For Advertisement , Promotinal Activity etc.
So Overall the sequence will be First : Strategy
and For Each Strategy u will have different Perspectives and for each perspective different objectives and for each objectives u will assign different measures and initiatives.
Objective will pertain to repective perspective only.
For each initiative u hv to assign respective incharge and budget to be alloted.
Next u hv to create value fields and assign Actual, Plan and Target values
For score calculation u need to define Formula: and select the formula id for eg: a/b
and give a=actual and b=plan then u hv to assign table
next u hv to select graphics also
then u sav ur BSC.
if u hv still hav any queries u can contact

SEM - CPM Data Table missing functionality

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to SEM - CPM 6.0 from 3.x. We are using the Management Cockpits.
In the older version, we were able to customize the properties of the data table and also print the data table.
But after the upgrade the customization and printing functionality of data table are missing. Did anyone encounter this issue and how was it resolved.
Thanks
Hemant

Hi,
Two ideas.
- Also assign the Objective to the Strategy and the Strategy to the Scorecard starting at 001.2005. Otherwise subelements wont be displayed.
- If this doen't work, try to assign an element with the periode 001.2005 to 012.2005. This might add a new entry in the used table instead of changing a current entry.

SEM-CPM: Autorizations for cockpit

Hi friends.
I have installed a SEM CPM for a client but I have a question: how can I conceed autorizations for a cokpit for some users?
Thanks!

You need to add the transaction to the cockpit in BW and than you need to make sure that the users are authorized to the authorization objects that are applied in the query that run in the cockpit.
I hope this help.

SEM CPM Scorecards

Hi,
Does SEM CPM has any standard Scorecards ?
Like BW, BW has standard business content. LIke wise any SEM standard content for CPM. Not SEM related InfoObjects/InfoSources/InfoCubes...
Thanks in advance,
GSM.

The SAP SEM Business Content contains industry-specific, predefined scorecard templates that support the introduction of a Balanced Scorecard..
There are Industry-Specific Balanced Scorecard Templates..
The templates contain industry-specific:
Strategic themes
Strategic objectives
KPIs
Causal relationships between strategic objectives.
As you have your KPI's activated ..already..only you need to go thru a special workbench (wizard functionality) that guides you by dialog through the definition of enterprise-specific KPI sets.

SEM-CPM: PerspectiveOverview Applet can't be instantiated

In SEm-CPM, we encountered an error message when running Scorecard Perspective View on the web, but we don't have the same problem in GUI. The error message says:"Perspective Overview can't be instantiated yet." We are actually using SEM3.1 SP21. Actually one of our clients that is using lower support level than we have does not have this problem.
I even imported the latest jova program "PerspectiveOverview.jar" from SAP service market. I still received the same error.
Can someone shed some lights on this issue?
thanks a lot.

here is my code:

Best practice in implementation of SEM-CPM

Is someone have the experiance of implementing SEM-CPM using best practice. and if so, does it reduces implementation time?

We should be able to adopt the best pratices when the software finally gets integrated into netweaver.

Connect more than 1 external BI in SEM-CPM-BSC or SEM-CPM-MC

Hello,
I have seen the help.sap.com that helps me how to put a defined BI (but only one BI).
Design -> Default BW System
Design -> Access to SAP BW
Design -> RFC Destination for Project System
But what we have is 3 BI systems. Each one with one module (HHRR, FI, SD). We want to join those BI modules into the SEM CPM. But I don't see how to put those 3 external BI in my CPM.
Please help me...
Best Regards...
Pablo Mortera.

There're several ways:
1.- Create remote Cubes where you get your queries. Then once the SEM system you will have a Cube that really is a "remote" cube in another system. This will also help by creating a MultiCube, related to the cubes created before...this way you have a big datamart (really a knowledge mart;-) ) that has all of the data/information related in one view.
2.- In the local BW system, you may create local InfoProviders that are being fed by remote BW systems as InfoSources. (You'll have to create the InfoSources and copy the data loads in the local BW System)
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Web Cockpit developent (SEM-CPM or VC or something else)

This question is intended for SAP Development team or Product management team. We are looking to make a strategic decision about the tool set to build BI Cockpit on the Web.
SAP has competing technologies, which can deliver the cockpit on the web and as a customer we need to make a choice that is right for at least next 3-5 years. We do not want to develop the cockpit using the technology that is not moving ahead with SAP development.
Our current environment: BW 3.5, EP 5.0 system. Plan to upgrade EP 6.0 in next 3 month.
As per my understanding, following are the tools that can be used for development of web cockpit.
1) Web Application Designer with or without any Java scripting.
2) SEM-CPM (Corporate Performance Monitor).
3) BSP (Business Server Pages) /HTMLB -
4) Visual Composer with EP.
Customers business team has seen SEM-CPM and inclined to use that. As a IT team we want to choice the right tool set.
Following are my questions:
1) SEM-CPM: Does it have good foot print at SAP Customer base? Is it good tool to develop the Cockpits as primary tool set? Is SAP developing this technology in the future? I have not seen any updated white paper or documentations in service.sap.com after 2003.
OR
2) Visual composer is the right tool. Visual composer allows the BW and Non BW Data presentation. For our purpose, all data will be in BW and BW queries will be the only source for the cockpit.
As IT team, we want to avoid using Java Script or other programming process because of the support & maintenance issues involve.
Please help and provide comment or suggestions.

Hi,
SEM-CPM is not a very flexible tool. We have to live with its limitations. We cannot customise to suit client needs. There are limitations in chart types also. If customer uses excel based charts for metrics currently, check whether they are possible thro' CPM. Please also check the latest version of SEM-CPM.
I would request to considering other alternatives as suggested ike Web cockpit based on Web Application Designer with or without any Java scripting.likes or BSP (Business Server Pages) /HTMLB or VC (not worked on this).

Hi,
I am new to SEM. I tried to search the forum for some documentation. Everyone referred to help.sap.com and service.sap.com/sem. In service.sap.com/sem I didn't find any documents for sem documentation. Help.sap.com doesn't have any examples.

What is the best approach to learn CPM ?

SEM-CPM-MC: Creating CPM variables

Hi,
I know this is probably not the right place to post it, but I couldnt find a better place.
I trying to create a variable in SEM-CPM-MC, but no matter what I do, I'm only able to create a runtime variable with selection type P - Variable for single value. I can select the other values, but when I save the variable SAP automatically corrects it to Singe value again. I can also create a design variable with the other types, but not a runtime variable. How do I create a variable for which you can enter an interval?
In the documentation it also says, that you should be able to create variables on a frame level. I don't see any button where I can create a variable on a frame level. I've done exactly as it says on help.sap.com, but I don't have a button to create a new variable on a frame level. How do I do that?
Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded generously :o)
Thanks,
-J

hi Yaj,
yes, there are business content, sap measure catalog, measures, strategy tempates, bw infocubes, etc.
you can activate single or mass, go to sap measure catalog, e.g you can activate node 'financial measures' for mass activation or specific measure only under that catalog.
to activate infocubes etc, you can use rsa1(administrator workbench)->business content, detail steps see sap help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/80/1a66d5e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
CPM business content, see

Hi,
I don't know if the solution is as easy for you but :
I did have the same problem with my frames... the problem was that (in the web version) after having selected a value, I had to click on the "V" on the bottom-right of the screen to update the graph according to my selection.
I hope it helps.
