Preview transformation file in data manager package

Dear BPC Experts,
When we try to preview Tranformation file while running data manager package to import transaction data from BW, we are getting following error. We do not get this error if we use load from flat file package.
We are on BPC 10 PS06, EPM Add-in SP14 patch3.
Has anybody seen this issue before? We can paste the entire log if required.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hi Raju,
Thank you for your reply.
It seems that it is SP related issue. When we downgrade our EPM Add-in to SP13 patch4, it did not throw any error.

Default File Selection while Running Data Manager Package

Hi BPC Experts,
What i wanted to know is that is possible to make a file selection as "Default" for running a data manager package.Say for example i wanted to run a simple DMP "Load Transaction data from from BW InfoProvider UI" and the file that i always select is "ZFIGL010" for this is it possible to get "ZFIGL010" file as pre-populated (or pre-selected)instead user going and choosing from long list of files available "Info Provider Selection".
Thanks
Rahul

Rahul,
As Ashish said you cant get rid of the info provider name selection as you are using the /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROV_UI pkg. But if you use /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROVIDER package you can follow the below steps to get rid of the selection.
Comment the below prompt statement in the Advance script of the pkg which asks you to select the Info provider.Its the first statement of the script. You can comment by putting a ' before begining of the statement.
PROMPT(TEXT,%InforProvide%,"Please enter InfoProvider to download data",)
Add a INFO statement and pass the same INFO statement to the Task. Please refer to image below.

Nikhil

1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.

Import Comments data and Dimension Members from csv file via Data Manager

Dear Experts,
I have two questions regarding the data manager.
Q1.Is it possible to import "Comments" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We'd like to import the amount with "Comments".
My image of csv file is like below;
ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,TIME,ENTITY,INPUTCURRENCY,AMOUNT,COMMENTS
1100000,ACTUAL,2010/06,LC,30000,This is comment
Q2.Is it possible to import the dimension "members" from the csv file via Data Manager?
We have a user-defined dimension named "Project"
and would like to import the members, instead of maintaining them in BPC administration manually.
I found an online help information which says "Import Master Data from a Data File Example",
but I could not find any relevant sample package for this.
(I tried to import the members by using "Import" package, but it failed...)
reference:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/86/8b1bfc12c94fb0b585cca70d6f1b61/content.htm
Thanks in advance for your help.
Fumi

Hi Fumi,
In this case, I would suggest you to create a customized SSIS package which will fill-in the "Comment<APP>" table, according to the csv file you have. I do not know any standard package that allows you to import comment the way you would like...
Best Regards,
Patrick

Data manager package

You can kill all of them as long as no one else is using the system.
The processes restart (are invoked) automatically when user's log back into the system.
If you want to really focus on which DLLHOST.EXE to kill then do this:
Open Component Services (RUN menu DCOMCNFG)
Click on the Running Processes folder under Component Services --> Computers --> My Computer
You'll see a bunch of COM+ objects with a process ID (PID) associated with each object.
Look for the K2Processing and Everest Update processes and take note of the process ID's
Now look for those process ID's in Task Manager (PID) and only kill those processes.
Goodluck,
John

Copying the data manager package

HI All,
In BPC, I need the contents and packages of my data manager package to be copied from my production server to Testing server.(I want the entire contents in there, to be copied.)
Can anyone suggest me, how can i do that??

Hi,
I meant that you need to go the path:
<installation folder>\Data\Wefolders\appsetname\appname\datamanager\packagefiles
You will be able to see your package file, here. You can copy it and then paste it on the same path in the target server.
Hope this helps.

New data manager package

Hi
I have as of now only 3 data manager packages in Financial processes packages (which came with APPSHELL)
Till now i was using *include to add other scripts -- but this takes a long time and all the scripts need to run each time
Hence i am trying to create a new data manager package which will run some scripts only -- eg cash flow
Can some one let me know how should i go about doing this please.
Rgds

Hi Manoj,
1. You need to create a new script logic with your code.
2. Create an SSIS package to execute your script logic. You can refer to the FX restatement. DTSX file for reference. This SSIS refers to the script logic for currency conversion. You can have the similar SSIS which will be pointing at your script logic.
3. Create a DM on top of this SSIS. You can refer to the DM package for FX restatement. You can copy the advanced script of the fx restatement DM into your DM. Please make sure that your script logic file is correctly mentioned and the task names are correct.
Hope this helps.

Change of sign when running the data management package

Hi All,
I have written a script logic for copying my Budget member under category dimension to say another member say "XYZ" under category dimension and this is for my Member Sales under ACcount dimension having acctype as inc.
When i run the logic thru default i am getting the correct value. however if i run the same thru data manager package- my sign changes.
Eg. 100000 is copied as -100000 and -50000 is copied as 50000.
Please help me out
Regards
Navin

Hi Navin,
CREDITPOSITIVE= YES | NO
Default: YES
If No, all amounts referring to an ACCOUNT type (LEQ, INC) will have their signs reversed.
Since you are referring to the member account sales as INC the default logic considers the sign as reversed.
Please look at this link which helps you to understand
Significance of Account Type EXP,LEQ,INC,AST in BPC- Need some valid reason
Hope this helps.

Gettig error while adding a pdf file in Data Manager

Dear All,
When I m trying to add a new pdf file in the Data manger then it gives the error as:" Unable to open Adobe Acrobat. See your administrator about installing Adobe Acrobat."
Please help me in adding this pdf file to Data Manager.
Thanks And Regards
Gaurav Kumar sharma

Hi Gaurav,
In order to load PDF files Adobe Acrobat® Standard or Professional Version is required and it needs to be installed on the machine that is loading the PDF and not on the Server machine.
That's why it is giving you error to Install Adobe Acrobat. It is also required to generate Thumbnails.
Refer, SAP Note for more details:

Hello,
It looks like you have an inconsistency on the OLAP level. Please try to reprocess Entity dimension choosing full process for your application. This should solve the issue.

The Full Optimization & Lite Optimization Data Manager packages are failing

Hi,
The Full Optimization and Lite Optimization Data Manager packages are failing with the following message "An Error occured while querying for the webfolders path".
Can anyone had similar issue earlier, please let me know how can we rectify the issue.
Thanks,
Vamshi Krishna

Hi,
Does the Full Optimize work from the Administration Console directly?
If it's the case, delete the scheduled package for Full Optimize every night (in both eData -> Package Schedule Status and in the Scheduled Tasks on your server Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks), and then try to reschedule it from scratch.
If it's not solving your problem, I would check if there are some "wrong" records into the FACT and FAC2 tables.
After that, I would also check if the tblAppOptimize is having other values than 0. For all applications, you should have a 0 there.
Hope this will help you..
Best Regards,
Patrick

Scheduling a data Manager Package

Hi,
Please le t me know how to schedule the Data manager package from BPC Client.
I tried th option in Data Manager Package "Schedule" but is not repeating the job. It just run once and stop.

Hello,
Please check the schedule for the InfoProvider you are using. You can check this within transaction code RSA1. There may not be a schedule that was created to load data. Please verify that this is or not the case. Thanks.

Customize Data Manager Package

Hi
m new to sap bpc nw version.Can anybody help me for the following issue
1)I want to copy data from one sorce member to multiple destination members. I have used Copy Data Manager Package in BPC NW Version,but its not allowing me to select multiple members of a dimension n the destination.The "Next" option itself is getting disabled.The same was enabled in MS Version.
How can I customize Data Manager Package to get Multiple Selections?

As "Copy" is predefined BPC DM package ,this DM package can not be customized. Copy wizard wont allow if source & destination members are of different count . If destination members are less , then you can run Copy package multiple times. If destination members are more , you can try creating simple script logic to copy .

Prevent Data Manager Package to be startet at certain times of the day

Hi
We currently have an issue as described below.
During month end closing SAP BW data is updated to BPC 3 times each day. This is done using a Data Package linke performing 8 steps in total. This DP Link works as expected. The problem is that while this is running users start other data manager packages that are based on the data from the data package link. This is an issue because the data is not correctly allocated before all 8 steps of the DP link has completed. This leads to very funny / Incomplete data and we would like to prevent this issue.
The question is therefor! Can we implement some kind of logic that prevents users from starting other data manager packages when the DP link is running?
/Chris

Hi Chris,
If you want to do the check for a DM which is running eg. a script via the default formular PC you can create copy of the PC and build in an extra step just after the start to run a custom program.
You can set up the custom program eg. to check the table RSPCLOGCHAIN for dependent running PC or validate if the DM package can run dependent on some parameters set in a custom table. Eg. set the time range for when you are running the pakage link.
You don't need much logic in the custom program to do the check.
I don't see another or even standard way to do the check in BPC.
