Purpose of BPC and training

Hello All,
We have some questions on BPC.
1. Is BPC replacing BI-IP?
2. What types of planning is BPC used for? Is Demand Planning in particular available?
3. Where can we get training information, knowledge type material? We checked SAP Education, but none of the classes show any upcoming?
Thanks!

1. BPC is not "replacing" BI-IP, as both products stay in the SAP BusinessObjects product roadmap and statement of direction. However, we do lead in our sales/marketing efforts by positioning BPC over BI-IP. You can read a lot more about this topic from Ryan Leask's blog "SAP's definitive strategy for planning technologies moving forward: What's the word on BPC, BI-IP and SRC?
" [here|/people/ryan.leask/blog/2008/06/24/saps-definitive-strategy-for-planning-technologies-moving-forward-whats-the-word-on-bpc-bi-ip-and-src].
2. BPC has most often been used for financial planning, but there are numerous uses by customers of BPC for operational planning as well. The EPM solution management and development teams from SAP BusinessObjects are currently working on a next generation customer demand planning application. Keep watching SDN-BPX, SAP.com and the Service Marketplace for more details to come.
3. As for training content, right here on SAP Community Network, check out the tab at the top labeled eLearning. You will find some very valuable content on BPC. If you are involved with ramp-up projects you can also find information at http://service.sap.com/rkt-epm.

Shoeb, hi.
Thanks for replying and apologies for my tardiness in responding. I have just completed a re-creation of my web page using CSS/HTML rather than XML/XSLT and now I find that when saving in MHT format the watermark/background image is saved, which is nice, but trying to save it as 'webpage complete' under 'save as' in the browser still does not work. (For those who are new to Firefox, MHT files are not supported by the browser, but using the FF extention UnMHT one can open such files and save web documents as MHT files, meaning no accompanying folder is required to properly view the file.)

How to get a parameter from BPC and use it in ABAP program

Hello gurus!
I got a problem...
SAP BPC will send parameters such as year, division, category, company code and so on via script logic to SAP BW.
I need to get these parameters from BPC and use them in a ABAP program as a filter.
This ABAP program will do several routines and return new values to BPC. It must be made on ABAP and I need to filter data to avoid performance issues.
Does anybody knows how to do it? or have a example of it?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Rubens Kumori

Hello, I'm looking for a suggest.
I need to pass two parameters (users can input them in a data manager package in bpc) to a BAdI.
In this BAdI I write a code that store those parameters in a InfoObject.
The problem is:
- one parameter is for CATEGORY value. CATEGORY is a dimension of the application and I read the value with a code like this:
      READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
           WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = 'C_CATEGORY'.
- other parameter is a generic DATE. this parameter is not a dimension of the application and I don't know how I can retrieve this value in BAdI.
      READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
           WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = '.....'.
The data manager dynamic script is:
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"%CATEGORY_DIM%")
PROMPT(TEXT,%SELECTED_DAY%,"Write the date (format YYYYMMDD)",)
I also have a dynamic constant that assign the name %CATEGORY_DIM% to "C_CATEGORY" value.
Can anyone help me?
thanks a lot

Captivate 5.5 Template -- Settings for Demo and Training modes

Hi
I am trying to create a Captivate 5.5 template for our simulations which will be captured in both Demonstration and Training modes.
In the template file, I go to Edit > Preferences > Modes, select the both the modes (from the drop-down list) and make required settings, and save the template.
Now, when I try to record a new project based on this template, I am asked to select any one of the modes. As a result, I get only one type of output. How to get both modes in one go? Is there a workaround?
Thanks for your help.

You'll need to add your simulation capture slides to the template AFTER capturing the two outputs. The template can only really be used as a shell to add introduction and conclusions, as well as quizzing etc.
Since (as Lieve points out) you end up with separate files for each different output, you'll also need to use the templates to create a shell project for each different output, and then paste the slides from the captures into the shell as it were.
Quite frankly, you're better off doing things this way anyway (capturing first and then pasting the capture slides into another shell project) because in any capture project you need to do quite a bit of editing and culling of duplicates or redundant captures. It's quicker and easier to do this editing when the project file is smaller. So what I do is clean up my captures first to get down to the minimum number of slides required for the simulation, and then paste those slides into my project file generated from the template. I do the copy/paste after culling out the unnecessary slides, but before saving the capture file. That way, I always have all of the original captures as a backup in case I went too far in the culling. Only after the project has been finalised to I go back and delete the original captures.

Anybody know where I can find tutorials and training materials for Adobe Output Designer

Hi everybody,
I am a graphic / web designer and newly appointed on a project requiring Adobe Output Designer skills. Now, I've already searched in a lot of places: but still couldn't find a reliable source of tutorials and training materials for Adobe Output Designer.
Can anybody help?
thanks a lot in advance,

The DJI cameras were first supported in ACR 8.3 and more support added in ACR 8.4:
Lens profile support | Lightroom 5, 4, 3 | Photoshop CS6, CS5 | Camera Raw 8, 7, 6
You will need PS-CS6 or PS-CC or PSE12 with current updates on OSX 10.7.x or Windows 7+ to use this version of ACR.
However, even if you have an older version of PS or older OS, if you can install the Adobe DNG Converter, you can copy these lens profiles to the User's lens profile folder and they might be seen. I can give more specific instructions about doing this if you are unable to update PS's ACR to 8.3/8.4.

Purpose of KEAT and KEAW reports

Can someone please explain the purpose of KEAT and KEAW reports in COPA?
I understand that KEAT is used for reconciling COPA with SD and FI and KEAW is for reconciling CO with PS and Sales Orders, CO with COPA and CO with FI.
I would like to know in detail what exactly is compared for the two reports..
Are these reports built for Account based or Costing based COPA or both?
Edited by: Pete on Apr 1, 2010 9:34 PM

Hi,
KEAT is meant to detect customizing errors for single billing documents by checking the reconciliation between SD, COPA, PCA and FI. The KEAT report checks billing documents and verifies that these have been posted to FI ,COPA and PCA.
If a value has been billed, the system reads the billing document and from the SD condition type finds what GL Accounts should be posted to.
KEAW is meant to check the customizing errors for orders

Hi Gurmeet
In order to display custom training PDF, an alternative approach could be to make use of workbench channel "Links". You can store the custom PDF on intranet and display the link under links channel.

What's the difference and purpose of Keywording and metadata such as title and caption etc?

What's the difference and purpose of Keywording and metadata such as title and caption, crator, sublocation , label etc? Where & how is the information used? Where does it appear?

Keywording is primarily for your own use for finding photos fast.
Title, Caption, etc are also for your own use but can be used by your clients or your stock company if you do not <Minimize Embedded Metadata> on export. Keywords are also included on export but are hardly of any use to others - unless you follow a standard for keywording.
You have the option of selecting title, caption, etc to appear in a Slide Show, on Print, or on a webpage created with LR.
If you go to the LR Help menu and type "title", or "caption" in the search box you will find plenty of advice for this.

SAP BPC and Hyperion SmartView

Hello, Forum u2013
Encountering an issue when trying to use SAP BPC and Hyperion SmartView at the same time and just curious if anyone else is 1) using both programs at the same time and 2) if so, have you encountered any problems?
Here is the scenario:
I have a SAP template file (EvDRE) that is used in conjunction with Hyperion SmartView. The way it works is that the template would extract the numbers out of Hyperion and then send the base numbers to the SAP system.
In order to do this, however, I have to create the connection to the Hyperion database first, which I do using VBA code.
When I execute this code within a blank workbook, I am able to successfully create the connection to Hyperion with no problems.
When I execute the same code within my SAP template, I receive a MS Excel error (u201CExcel has encountered an error and must close programu2026u201D). This has been a consistent result that Iu2019ve received.
Please note that I am not logged into either SAP or Hyperion when I receive this error (this happens outside both systems). I'm worried that as soon as I log into both programs, the whole thing will crash...
So, just curious if anyone out there is encountering the same issue when trying to use both programs.
Please let me know.
Carlo

My suggestion is to attempt to break it into 2 seperate work flows for testing, using 2 seperate templates. One to pull, then copy the data to the second sheet for submission. I would assume that you would have to be connected to initiat eeither the extraction of sending of data using your added code, so seperating the 2 steps may prove useful.
Hope this helps.

Definition of the best approach on how to do reporting between BPC and BW

Hi,
I need your opinion in the definition of the best approach on how to do reporting between BPC and BW.
For example if we want to do reporting using BW on Actuals Vs Budget how should we manage this since technically BPC Model and BW InfoCube is different?
BPC Models have the Budget and BW has the actuals, but the InfoObject that is used for Account is different. What is the best approach to do the reporting?
Thanks in advance,
JA

Hi Gersh
I already thought in that option, but the problem is the Yellow requests in the Infocube that are not used by VP.
In the past I used Report RSAPO_CLOSE_TRANS_REQUEST_ALL3 in the virtual function module to close the requests, but now I didn't want to use VP based on function module.
Is there any option to use data in Yellow requests in VP based on DTP?
Best regards,
JA
