Hi Gurus,

the old universe with old database is structured as.
Eg: PTKEN as table name and objects as PTKEN.WASId
the new ( migrated universe ) has the database structure as
Eg: KEM_LKP_PTKEN as table anem and objects as WASId
What the process has to be done to change all the tables in the universe with the new database...

Hi Mr. Vepuri,
If the table name is changed at the universe level then follow the below steps.
1. Open the universe in the designer
2. Right click on the table which has been modified and rename it with the changed name.
3. Click on the View>> Refresh Structure.
4. and check whether it throws any error message or not.
For Object PTKEN.WASId--- what does it mean?
Is it column name or object name at universe level.
Object definition of each object is visible as Table_Name.Column_Name.
If you want to change the object name then you can rename it.
In order to propagate the changes made at a database level to universe level always click on the View >>refresh structure
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Sands

Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
EJ:
1) Bex Query Designer
Colunms
(Structure) ZSRT_123
                      - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
     - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
Rows
(Structure) ZSRT_456
               (Key Figure)     Net Sales
2) Universe designer
(Class) ZSRT_456
>(Measure)      Net Sale
(Class)     ZSRT_123
>(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
This issue will be fixed in SP3.

What are the consultant roles in Upgradation or migration project

Hello ,
Would you please any dody help me to provide the role & responsibilities of consultant in SAP upgradation or migration project.Thanks.
Regards,
Sampally

Dear Sampally,
SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
1) Project Preparation
Analyze the actual situation
Define the objectives
Create the project plan
Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
2)Upgrade Blueprint
The system and components affected
The mapped business processes
The requirements regarding business data
3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
5)Production Cutover and Support
The production solution upgrade
Startup of the solutions in the new release
Post processing activities
Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is
Includes
Function Groups / Function Modules
Programs / Reports
OSS Notes
SAP Repository Objects
SAP Data Dictionary Objects
Domains, Data Elements
Tables, Structures and Views
Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
BDC Programs
Print Programs
SAP Scripts, Screens
User Exits

BPC 7.5 MS - Integration Universe Designer - Access to properties values

Hello.
I am working with BPC 7.5 MS SP03, and I want to do some reports with Web Intelligence.
I installed the ODBO provider and I defined a Universe with Universe Designer. Now, my Universe has a class for every dimension of my AppSet, and I can do WebI reports with members of the dimensions and data. But what I want to do is to see
the properties values of the members in my BPC dimensions. For example, in BPC I have a dimension called Projects with several members (Proj1, Proj2, Proj3, etc). Each member has several properties (ID, NEWID, EVDESCRIPTION, PARENTH1, FORMULA, CLIENTID, CLIENTDESC, MANAGER). In WebI, I can only see the ID of the projects. How can I do a report filtering by any other property, like CLIENTID or MANAGER? Is this possible?
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards,
Fernando

Hi,
I believe this feature is not available in BO XI 3.1 when trying to access BPC data.
The only possible reporting possibility in WEBI is to see BPC members per level (LEV1, LEV2, etc...). From my experience, I would say that there is no filterining on properties.
But I guess that in BO XI 4.0, integration with BPC data will be more user-friendly and will offer a lot of other features.
Hope this will help you.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

URGENT: Connecting BPC 10.0 with BI4.0, with Universe Design Tool

Hi all,
I have quite an urgent question that I need some guidance from all you SAP gurus on!
Is it possible to connect BPC 10 to BI4 using Universe Design Tool? We are under the impression very few people have connected these pieces of software together, if at all. It is very important to a Project I am on at the moment as to whether it is possible so any advice would be very much appreciated.
So far we have done..
Software is installed - Universe Design Tool (UDT)
Logins have been created for BPC 10
Opened up UDT and go through the Wizard;
Connection name is BPC CCONNECTION
Select data access driver: Business Planning and Consolidation OLE DB for OLAP
Enter the server address for BPC 10 (This is the URL that we log in to the BPC Admin Console)
After we try to continue, we get the error as follows:
[Image of error|http://s9.postimage.org/pxk8raci7/UDT_Screen1.jpg]
If anyone could give any kind of advice I would really apprecaite it!
Nick

Hi Nick,
If you are trying to connect BPC 10 NW to BI 4.0 then I have some suggestions. We did this in our SAP EPM 10 training. In the Admin go to the model tab , select your model and edit it. Select the check box Use as a source. This creates a transient query in the backend.. Then we designed the connection in IDT (Information Design tool). Login to IDT and create a new project. Now Right click on the project and create a new OLAP connection. Select SAP BICS as driver selection. Provide the server details and user aunthetication. Select specify a cube in connection option. Now You can select your model <MODELNAME>_B folder and u will see one query with /CPMB/TQ_XXXX. Test your connection and publish your connection to repository . Now you can use this connection for creating Interactive Analysis (Webi Report). I am not sure about the reporting client you wish to use.
Hope this Helps
Regards
Nikhil

How to remove app designer migration access from the Developer id

Team,
Please guide me with steps to remove app designer migration access from the Developer id.
I want that developer can create the project but do not have migration access.
Rgds,

Did you already remove the other permission lists/roles you identified in your previous response like I told you to do in my first response? The user can have no permission lists that grant this access. Working with a clone of VP1 is a bad strategy. Security should be handled from the bottom up, adding what is required for a user to perform their necessary functions. Cloning VP1 and removing roles/permissions is security from the top down and will undoubtedly leave you with a user that is still granted more access than you like even after removing this particular access. You should really be working with your companies security admin on this, they may have a standard way of doing this. Many places I've been use custom roles and permission lists when deviating from the Oracle delivered security.
Does ABC user still have any access to UPGRADE?
select ru.roleuser, ru.rolename, rc.classid, ai.barname from psroleuser ru
join psroleclass rc on ru.rolename = rc.rolename
join psauthitem ai on ai.classid = rc.classid
where ai.menuname = 'APPLICATION_DESIGNER'
and ai.barname = 'UPGRADE'
and ru.roleuser = 'ABC'

Row level security at universe design level

Hi,
I am creating a Universe layer on top of non SAP OLAP cube ( from MS Analysis Services 2005 ) .
My concern is that can we maintain the row level or data level security at universe design level or if i am using that universe in creation of WEBI report so is there any possiblity to maintain this security at WEBI level.
Regards,
Mishra Vibhav.

Thanks for the reply.
Much Appriciated.
My only concern is that i read in the Universe Designer developer guide that it does the row level security so can eloborate a bit about how we maintain at Universe level.
Warm Regrads,

Access Migration Error Creating Migration Project - string literal too long

I get this error when attempting to create an MS Access Migration Project:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 8, column 8: PLS-00172: string literal too long &lt;pre&gt;begin &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;declare &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; p varchar(32767) := null; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; l_clob clob; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;begin &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob,FALSE, dbms_lob.session); &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; dbms_lob.open(l_clob,dbms_lob.lob_
I suspected the 'string literal too long' was due to a very long code section in the Exporter .sql file -
So I edited out that code except - essentially by cutting the macro code within the quotes, cutting down that code module.
Same error.
Any suggestions on what else may be causing this?
Thanks - Karen

I found it - two other big long ugly macros that I had to cut out as well. Then the migration project created just fine. Thanks for the moral support :)

DECODE SQL Function - Parsing error in Defining Objects in Universe Designe

Hi,
I have created a class and an object in BO XI R3 Universe designer.
I am getting the parsing error while defining the object when using the custom SQL as
select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu
The object Type is "character", i have tried with Long Text, Number, Date as well and the same sql works fine by returning String values through TOAD.
Do we have any constrains in using DECODE in BO XI R3 or any other syntax please....
Please guide me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi,
1.At back end check the data type for matteraction column and define it accordingly in object definition.
2. Try to break your select clause definition into smaller parts and check it where the exact issue is as below
i.select decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019) ............
ii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE') ..........
iii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu

BOE XI 3.1 - Universe Designer Installation

Guys,
Is it possible to get the UNIVERSE DESIGNER setup (Package) alone instead of go with BOE full installation package?
I have the BOE installation full package.
Every time i am installing the Designer in below way to my users,
Custom/Expand installation --> Deselect all the client components; Select "Universe Designer" --> Install Designer
I want to make the installation in easy way.
I found that 'Web Intelligence Rich Client" Client Package is available in ALONE as well as in BOE FULL Installation Package.
i can install this 'Web Intelligence Rich Client' in either way.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kiruba v.r.

Hi Simon,
I know this process. Even i am doing the same to my users machine.
But i am looking for 'Universe Designer' individual client package as like 'Web Intelligence Rich Client'.
Note: I am not getting any error message.

Error when setting up connection from Universe Designer to Oracle database

Hello,
I am attempting to create a connection to an Oracle 10 database in Universe Designer. I am currently running Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 on a 32 bit machine. I have the Oracle client installed. In Universe Designer when I attempt to create a new connection using the Oracle 10 client I receive the following error.
CS:DBDriver failed to load : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll (The specified module could not be found.)
The dbd_oci.dll file does exist in the directory listed above. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Brock

Hello Brock,
Do you have multiple SQL clients installed on your system? If so, uninstall the previous versions. Check if the PATH variable is set to correct bin path and then try testing it again.
