Planning and Cognos integration

Anyone out there has experience in integrating Planning 11.x with Cognos ?
I'd greatly appreciate if you can share your experience in detail. Thanks in advance.

Amol,
Although I don't have it up and running yet (awaiting our test sharepoint server) there is an Oracle Hyperion web part.
Here is the doc

We need to integrate Business Objects and Cognos in some way. Do we have any integration kit for this?
I would appreciate if anyone would share some ideas experiences on this.

Essbase and Cognos Enterprise Planning

Has anyone tried to run Essbase and Cognos Enterprise Planning on the same hardware?

Thanks John
I have issue in Extracting Metadata out of Essbase cubes. I can extract Entity dimension without any issue. When I try to extract Accounts DIM I get error at SS_O MetadataExtract step with "No_matching_Enum_found". Couldn't find any refernce for it.
Tried importing V11 jar files, imported LKM_Essbase_Metadata_SQL again. Nothing seems to solve the problem.
I saw one thread abt it in Planning. No solution for it though..

*** Question How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0

Hi, I created an manual DTP upload to my planning infocube and it works fine. The transformation rules convert 0CALMONTH into the relevant Calendar and Fiscal characteristics. So all of my Time Characteristics are fine, both Calendar and Fiscal.
However, When using the "How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0" solution, only the Calendar Characteristics are populated and not the Fiscal. The upload application somehow knows to populate the 0CALMONTH2, 0CALQUART1, 0CALQUARTER, and 0CALYEAR.
How can I get the upload to populate my Fiscal Period Characteristics?
Would it be best to modify the "Upload Application, or can I write a planning function to update the fiscal characteristics, or some other way?
Thanks!

My planning data is being uploaded via the SDN Planning File Upload Solution. What I did was end up modifiying the upload class ZCL_RSPLF_FILE_UPLOAD Method EXECUTE.
I added the following code if anyone is interested.
*{ INSERT BWDK902323 1

Relation between Integrated Planning and BPS

Dear all,
I am just considering about using the BI Integrated Planning. I have a few question about the relation between BW-BPS and BI Integrated Plannning.Can anybody tell me about the near future about these both two? Is the BI Integrated Planning going to replace the BW-BPS or are they going to co-exist instead? Do we have to use them both? Although I'm not used to the new features of BI Integrated Planning, I just quite don't get what is the advantage of using them besides ensuring the future development.
Best regards,
Takashi

Hi Matsumoto,
I have recently implemented both BW-BPS and IP on 2004S.
I have always started with trying to implement IP instead of BW-BPS because, as we all agree, it is the future. Another reason was personal: I wanted to learn IP.
Sometimes I however had to switch to BW-BPS because of following reasons:
- the front-ends are more advanced if the users have a SAPGUI installed. The Excel front-end of IP is more advanced compared to the Excel GUI version of BW-BPS. IP is based on workbooks (the same as BW workbooks). Workbooks have more flexibility than BW-BPS Excel GUI version. The problem is that you need the 2004S gui to use IP via workbooks. Installations of the 2004S gui is rather complex and is almost impossible to install remotely because there are so many components involved.
- the front-ends on the web do not require a SAPGUI and are more advanced in BW-BPS. In BW-BPS, you can use the office web components (Excel on the web) where you can copy past, etc. The IP web version is HTML based and does not yet support the office web component. You can use it for data entry of a limited number of data but is hard to use for large volumes.
- BW-BPS for now supports more hierarchy features than IP. Displaying hierarchies can be done on IP. If you want to do bottom-up or top-down planning, it is adviseable to develop on BW-BPS; Again, these features will in the future be supported by IP but are not yet.
- performance: saving is quite slow in IP compared to BW-BPS.
- timing: if you want to move fast, go for BW-BPS. There is a lot more documentation on forums, you will have a lot less problems etc.
By the way, Sean is 100% correct about the instability of IP. We had to implement a number of notes and had SAP to create new notes for problems we had.
Please assign points if this solved your problem.

Filip

Integration HP Planning and Budgeting to Oracle eBS.

hey guys,
i am very new to Hyperion and i want to know how to integrate Hyperion Planning and Budgeting to Oracle eBS.
thanks and regards,
Rahul.

Hello,
Unfortunately there is no prebuilt package that makes "Planning the source for OracleEBS". Right now the ERPi software you are looking at will only control budgetting information. You can review the current compliance of the software by doing a review of the documentation under the chapter "Data Write-back Rules".
If you are looking to source pure data from Planning into OracleEBS then a custom solution will need to be developed and maintained outside of the Hyperion software .... or built to plug into the Hyperion Software (like ODI).
Thank you,

PS and PP integration

Dear Experts,
Good Morning....
Please suggest me PS and PP integration customization steps.
Regards
Lallan

PP is not a major player in PS as far as integration is concerned. It is through Material Management that Production Planning is informed of Production Orders using special settings in the Material Master.
One another area, the PP and PM modules share Work Centers with Project System.
The Work Center is needed for Capacity Planning and Planning costs. If we integrate this Work Center with HR module, we will be able to select only the people who have been assigned to the Work Center. We can specify the amount of work the individual will contribute. This forms the basis for capacity planning.
Hope u must have understand.
PS - Process
After creating the project next step is u want to do cost, Revenue & Budget Planning for the project
in the t-codes CJ42, CJ30 & CJ40 respectively. Next step is creating the Sale order in va01 T-code.
But I have internal project scenario, example: Overhauling of DG set. Assigned work enter & Workforce & also material to network. So shall I do costing? As explained! Is it necessary to create of Sales Order?
CMP2 - Assign workforce to activities
CAT2 - Transfer actual time to CATS. In CAT2 we have record the actual timing correct for an activity, on day basis & with personal number.
MD51 - Run Project MRP to create Planned orders.
MD04, ME21N, MIGO - Convert planned orders to purchase requisitions and P.O, and goods receipt.
MB1A - once the goods are brought is project stock; the same needs to be consumed by mb1a -281 Q on the project.
CJ20n - Attach milestones as per the payment terms.
VA02 - Copy billing plan to sales order.
VF01 - Billing
CJ20n - Project tech complete and closure.
Hope this will help you,
Regards,
ANSAR

Use of forecast planning function in Integrated planning

Hai ,
Can I Know What is the use forecast planning function in Integrated planning.
Give me One Example.
Please tell What i hv to select in aggregation level, Filter, and Planning function for doing forecast.
Regards
Kishore.

Hi,
Filter is indeed used in IP similar to how planning package was used in BPS. There really is no difference 'conceptually'.
What you have seen is the different options IP offers compared to BPS regarding planning function execution. You can execute planning function directly or using a planning sequence in an application (although in planning modeler, its only a planning sequence that can be executed, for eg., for testing purpose).
If you just execute a planning function without specifying any restriction, it will operate on the entire set of planning data. Whether its a planning sequence or planning function, the data it operates on can be restricted by binding the various characteristics (or variables) using various DPs in the application. What kind of dynamic selection are you looking at?

Profit Center Planning and CO-PA

Dear All,
We are using Both Profit Center Planning and CO-PA ,it is possible to lead over the planned data, turnover and mat. costs, from CO-PA to the profit center accounting. Therefore it is necessary to maintain a transfer scheme in the customization of COPCA and to assign value fields of CO-PA to the relevant accounts of COPCA.
So can anyone guide me how to do this..
Thanks.

Hi
Yes you can transfer the planning data from COPA to ECPCA. You can do the configuration at
SPRO->Controlling->Profitability Analysys->Planning->Integrated Planning->Set up transfer of planning data to ECPCA/FIGL
Then you can use TCode KE1V to transfer the planning data.

Suraj

Assignment of filter to planning function in integrated planning

Dear experts
I am a bit new in Integrated planning and have a following conceptual question regarding filter object in IP
In IP it seems that filter is a substitute object for planning package in BSP.
I however do not see any possibility to assign filter to a planning function except in a planning sequence. I would however imagine to have a functionality to dynamically select the filter when i want to execute a planning function via application (excel based or Web).
It seems that filter is not even required if a planning function is executed seperately (not as part of planning sequence).
I have tried to execute a simple copy function without having any filter at all and it works.
Could someone pls. explain me as to the conceptual difference between object filter and object planning package.

Hi,

Discoverer 10g and Cognos

Does anybody have any document outlining differences between capabilities between discoverer and cognos?
How effecting reporting tool is discoverer when it comes to OLTP reporting?
Thanks

You should check with your Oracle or Cognos sales consultant. Depending on whom you ask you will get an answer weighted towards one vendor or the other :)
What do you mean by reporting? Discoverer is a tool that you can use for both adhoc querying as well as reporting. It also offers integrated reporting against both relational and OLAP data sources, leverages the Oracle database's analytic and BI platform capabilities, is integrated with the Oracle Application Server, offers a quick and easy way to create BI dashboards in Oracle Portal, is the only BI tool to be certified against and work with the the Oracle eBusiness Suite security model out of the box, and lots more...
Of course, if enterprise reporting capabilities are all you are looking for, then I would suggest you take a look at Oracle Reports and the just announced Oracle XML Publisher.
You should also check out product demos, white papers, presentations, documentations, etc... - all available on OTN. Some links are provided below. Finally, you could even try out the software - free (under a developer license), which is more than can be said about Cognos or other vendors that are too scared of letting people even try out their software without first purchasing it.
Thanks

PP and PM integration for PRT equipment

Hi,
i got integration issue when implementing PP and PM.
i used PRT equipment with counter, PP confimation will update the counter.
If it reach some value it is overhaul and maintenance order created.
1, if it is overhaul, can i automatically set the PRT so it is not available (status)
2. can PP people know this and the they reschedule the PP order and it schedule automatically considering the maintenance order for the PRT equipment they use.
after PRT equipment i will user work center as equipment too and then we will have botj issue as above
is it really possible for pp and pm integration like this.
please kindly help.
best regards,
Freddy Ha

hi
In the normal process once your production order is confirmed ,your maintenance order from plan will be triggered ,but your PRT status is in release only which will not be updated as LOCK automatically .it can be locked manually in the Master data.
check with abaper whether it is possible to update the status using measurement document ,for say once it reaches 2000 pc
Once the status is locked it cannot be used for maintenance or production order
for Workcenter as equipment then you can process with System condition as Not in operation which will show the maintenance order while checking the production order planning table

SRM and XI Integration

hi,
can anyone provide me some good links,docs and blogs about SRM XI integration please.
and what would be the scenarios with SRM integrations?I mean are they like
SAP SRM -XI-R/3(or ECC)
SAP SRM -
XI----non SAP systems(i have read onb sdn SUS,EBS systems)
non SAP---XI---SAP SRM
SAP r/3(or)ECC--XI--SAP SRM?
what we need to use on SRM side (sender/Receiver)are they Idocs/RFC/proxies?and what we need to use on SAP R/3 side and thirdparty systems?
please clear me?
thank you,
babu

Hi Babu
SAP deliver a lot of XI contents for SRM.
For this have a look at service.sap.com/xi --> Business content --> SAP XI Content --> XI content delivered by SAP --> mySAP SRM
Also refer this realtive thread from jin shin
Re: Http server code 401 reason Unauthorized explanation Unauthorized
There are business package available for the standard SRM and XI integration. For this you can download from the service market place and you can make use of the standard SAP delivered objects.
Most of the time senario involves Idoc/RFC and Proxy here
Some of the docs from SAP service market place are-

3)which elements should i gather requirements in workshop
4)what exactly crm role in marketing planning and budjet planning and how BW/ECC integrated
I will reward good points urgent need as i have session on monday
Thanks

HI Rajaram,
For your workshop especially on marketing planning you have to have alot of questions to ask them.
basically CRM marketing plan and BI BPS are closely integrated functionalities in campaign management.
Functioanlly find out waht is that they are looking at to gain from budgeting.
basically the lcient would like to fix a budget for the campaign / marketing plan for the financial year and then will break it down for further campaigns / marketing elements. at the end he would like to eveluate what is the budget he planned and what he actually spent. There is no nned of project systems even key figure planning can do plan vs actual cost analysis.
based on this the marketing manager can plan the campaign success and there are standard analytics available for this.
It is not easy to mention all those in this forum and i suggest you can go through these best practices and help in SAP.
check them

No body can guide as better as that

Loading Alias from EBS to planning through erp integrator

Hi all,
Can anybody tell me how to load the member properties from EBS to Hyperion Planning using ERP integrator. My trial only loaded the members with few default properties.
My planning application is classic. And i used mapping type as "single segment". Didnt find any detailed options there to define the member properties.
Thanks

Hello,
I do not believe storage type is available.
The Alias is based on the languages you have defined when you setup your applications inside of ERPi. Not all "aliases" will come over; and only the basic information is actually stored as a description. I would suggest you review the ERPi Admin guide for your release.
Please review the documentation completely and ensure you understand it. The most current documentation can be found at the following URL.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/erpi_admin.pdf
Information retrieved from the source can be found on Page 31.
Information about aliases can be found on Page 34.
Thank you,
