Reporting off BPC Cube in HANA using BOBJ Tools

Hi,
I have a customer who is on BPC NW on HANA. Customer has BPC cube exposed in HANA, We need to do some reporting on that BPC HANA views with the ability to drill down to the hierarchies. Is there a BOBJ tool which would allow the cutomer to:
1) Drill down on the G/L level
2) Mobile compatible
3) Have access to BPC built in logic/metadata
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I found the following presentation,
SAP Product Road Map SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio
Road Map Revision: June 9, 2014
https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000390622012D.pdf
SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio 1.3 HANA-only deployment
Support HANA-only deployment
Design Studio applications saved in HANA Repository
Design Studio runtime is moved to browser, No Java stack as deployment platform is needed
Using firefly instead of BICs at Design Studio runtime
Require HANA 1.0 revision SPS8 (revision 80)
I think there are some limitations like hierarchies not supported, please check.

BEx Reporting on BPC 10 Model

Hi all
I've been researching the option of bringing our BPC reporting into BW in order to make BPC data available to our existing set of BW users without the need to purchase more BPC licenses and save on training in EPM.
I have got as far as making the model a data source via the web admin and creating a query based on the virual provider <model>_B.
However, I still have some key questions which I do not have answered:
- Is this method of reporting OK as it is ? I am not making use of any sort of transient query..
- How are we able to enable authorisation on this BPC data surfaced in BEx without moving the data to new InfoObjects, etc. I do not believe it is wise to modify any of the automatically created objects from BPC..
- How are we able to improve the manipulation of hierarchies in BEx (some of which have 15 levels!) ? Has anyone come across this ?
My view is (and always has been) that we should be using BPC to reporting BPC data but I need to be sure of my facts and justify exactly why that should be our approach and make sure I am not missing an easy way to do this.
Thanks
Ian

Half a year ago I reported problem to SAP because hierarchies showed wrong totals - with queries based on virtual provider. This happened after upgrading BW and BPC. I reported this to SAP and they answered, that Bex reporting on virtual provider is not supported. After that I changed all queries to basic BPC cube and applied BW authorizations.
SAP's anwer in january 2014 was:
"The transient query is the supported BEx query, please kindly work with it for BEx WEB reporting. Note that the transient query also has some limitation, please refer to note 1730125.
Customer defined BEx query on BPC generated virtual InfoProvider is currently not supported. It's an enhancement request to support customer defined BEx query, please create such a request on
SAP Idea Place where BPC product team would regular check and collect development requests."
I see that later SAP issued note 1988018 which probably solved the issue. But still I didn't see any SAP's official statement that Bex reporting on BPC cubes is supported.

Was told not to report off transaction planning cubes

Hello there,
we recently implemented Hyperion Planning and have 3 Essbase cubes: Planning, Capex, and workforce. We want to hook OBIEE up to the cubes for reporting. We have been told it is not best practice to report off the same cubes we're transacting in. How should we go about building reporting cubes? Is it as simple as "backing up" or copying our transactional cubes?

It is always better to restrict the planning application for the planning operations and providing the reqd reporting applications for the reporting purposes.
This will avoid the unnecessary conflict b/w the planning and reporting cycles.
In the planning 11.1.1.2 there is inbuilt feature of mapping the planning cubes for the reporting application(ASO applications).
Under covers it works like this
It extract the required set of data from the planning cube by genaratiing and executing calc script into a text file.
After that it will format the data file to map the reporting cube and dimensionality and load into the reporting cube.
Insteade of using this in built feature we can provide the better automated customi interface for our application with three regularly used components
1. data export calc script
2. Rule file to map the exported file with the reporting cube.
3. MaxL file.
If you are using the same dimension structure for the reporting cube as of planning cube except hsp_rates and currency dimensions.
You can try this as well.
1. creating bso-aso replicated partition(suppoerted in essbase 11)
2. replicate data
3. drop replicate data

BPC security can be used in SQL Reporting Services?

Hello,
We are trying to implement SQL Reporting Services(RS) as web reports of BPC.
Is it possible to use BPC security user access control in SQL RS?
We know that SQL RS user access can be managed by windows domain, but we like to use BPC security as SQL RS user control.
Thank you in advance.
Sam

==================================================================
Hi Sam,
Could you be more specific on what you are going to do with RS?
BPC, as you know, uses Windows AD. If you intend to use RS in BPC, you have already introduced Windows AD and BPC access security for RS. But only given RS report is eligible in this case.
If you want to make a report that refers to business data of BPC, and need to pass argument as query parameter such as what category, what entity, not possible actaully, no way to make it happen with standard feature of BPC. But you can think of possibility of customizing and need to find out how to pass the argument for a user(read ACS table containing security info).
Reg. the reporting tool, if you are using 7.5, BO products is aligned well. Xcelsius and Voyager will be a tool for your requirement.

Building Drill through reports from aso cube using odi in webanalysis11.1.3

I need some urgent help as i have a important requirement for an essbase aso cube .I was trying to establish a database connection to build a drill through report in webanalysis from oracle datawarehouse.the integration tool which we are using to get data from oracle datawarehouse to hyperion is odi.My question are
1) Can drill through reports be built using odi like eis from an aso cube?if yes whats the procedure?
2) is there any alternate ways to bring transaction level or relational data for reporting in webanalysis?
regards,
praveen.

Hi Glenn,
We tried optimizing the drill through SQL query but actually when we run the directly in TOAD it takes *23 secs* but when we do drill through on the same intersection
it took more than 25 mins. Following is our query structure :
(SELECT *
FROM "Table A" cp_594
INNER JOIN "Table B" cp_595 ON (cp_594.key = cp_595.key)
WHERE (Upper(cp_595.*"Dim1"*) in (select Upper(CHILD) from (SELECT * FROM DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL') WHERE CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF = 1 START WITH PARENT = $$Dim1$$ CONNECT BY PRIOR CHILD = PARENT UNION ALL select Upper(CHILD) from DIM_TABLE_1 where CUBE = 'ALL' AND REPLACE('GL_'||CHILD, 'GL_IC_', 'IC_') = $$Dim1$$))
And ----same for 5 more dimensions
Can you suggest some improvement ? Please advice.
Thanks

Drilldown of reports in BPC 7.5.

1>>>> I need to drill down from BPC 7.5 consolidation application to other application.
From BPC reports to what extend I can drilldown or do jump query?
BPC to BI cube, ODS
BPC to ECC in same landscape
BPC to ECC system in parent company's network
BPC to another BPC system in parent company's network
BPC to another BI system cubes in parent company's network
It is for a huge company running with different BPC system needs to optimize the
2.>>>>Is there any documentation that I can refer for the drilldown of reports in BPC 7.5.
Appreciate help.

Dear BCS_BPC,
If you said "Drill Down", BPC will break a particular data from one line to be several lines and its data not comes from outside BPC. For your case you need Drill Through feature, BPC can retrieve data from BI /ECC base on BPC's parameter. I think that you do not use drill though feature from BPC to ECC, because SAP ECC saved transactional data from more tables so the performance of BPC will be run slowly.
Please refer link below to review Drill Through configuration

Automate data load from BPC cube to BW cube

Hi Gurus,
I've got all my budgeting & forecasting data in BPC cube. Now I need to load it to a BW cube and combine with Actuals in another BW cube through Multiprovider and build reports on the multiprovider.
My question is:
What is the best way to automate the loading process of BPC cube data to BW cube ??
I should also be able to load the property values of BPC dimensions to the BW info objects.
The methods I followed are:
1. Run "Export" data package and load BPC data to a CSV file and run BW DTP/infopackage to process the CSV file into BW cube. Problem with this is - I canot automate these two steps, and even if I did, I cannot export property values to a flat file.
2. Build transformations directly from BPC cube to an Infosource and from Infosource to BW cube. Problem with this is - in the transformations I cannot use the rule: "Read Master Data". I may have to write a routine, but my ABAP is not good enuf.
Please help with an alternative solution
Thanks,
Venkat

Thanks for the reply. I know I will have more options if I'm BPC 7.5 NW. But I'm on BPC 7.0 NW.
I managed to pull the attribute values of BPC dimensions using routines. But still it's risky because the tech names of BPC objects may change if one modifies the dimensions or run optimization.
It's a shame SAP haven't provided a robust solution to load BPC cube data to BW cube data.
I don't want to load BW cube data to BPC cube and depend on EVDRE reports for my 'Plan vs Actual' reports. I (and end users) always want to lean towards BEx reports.

How do you use BOBJ SDK to retrieve the results of a query in XML

I am trying to programatically get the results of a query given the query id
My old code used BusinessObjects Enterprise Web Services API to Retrieve a document's contents
DocumentInformation biDocInfo;
RetrieveData retBOData = RetrieveData.Factory.newInstance();
Action[] actions = new Action[1];
retBOData.setRetrieveView(xmlView);
biDocInfo = rEngine.getDocumentInformation(queryId, null, actions, null, retBOData);
(XMLView) biDocInfo.getView();
Is there an equivalent way to retrieve the results of the query using SAP BusinessObjects BI 3.x Developer SDK Library ?
Thanks for any information

Hello.
Are you wanting to use the BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK along with the Report Engine SDK as opposed to using the Web Services SDK that you were using previously?
Also, what part of a webi document are you trying to get the XML format of?
- Whole document
- Single report within a document
- Report page of a report
- Report part within a report
- All data providers
- Single data provider
If you are trying to use Business Objects Enterprise along with the Report Engine SDK, there are numerous samples for the various parts of the webi document that I mentioned above available at the following link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/JavaReportEngineSDKSamples
I hope that this information helps.

Report on Virtual cube is not working.

Hi,
I created a report on virtual cube, Virtual cube is based on Function module which will pick data from Multiprovider, In the FM mention the import parameter name as " Muli Provider" Name.
Multiprovider built on SPO object , On SPO object BIA is created, If can de activate the BIA on SPO then the report built on virtual cube is working in the portal. If I can activate the BIA the report is not working in the portal.
The report is working fine in RSRT and Analyzer either BIA is active and deactive.
Regards
GK

Hi
The multi cube you created must be comprising of Info cubes, DSO and Info objects. Now this error which you are getting is it for
- a specific characteristics or
- any characterisitcs that is entered fourth in the series of filter selections or
- the fourth value in a specific characteristics
Is the characteristics and the value which you use in filter present in all the underlying objects included in the multi cube ? You can check it in each of the objects associated in the multi cube, independently. This will give you an idea as to whether the error reported by the system is genuine or not.
Cheers

What are the steps for using Bobj with ECC

Hi,
I have the ECC 6 with EHP4 system, now i want to use BusinessObjects for reporting purpose. I dont have the BI installed, What are the pre-requisit for installaing and using Bobj with web intelegence and crystal report. Dose BI is must for bobj to work? Please explain in steps what are the things i have to do.
Thanks
Rajib Imran

It looks like you are new to BOBJ. BI is the service name and BOBJ is the product name in SAP.
Since you have not mentioned your version of BOBJ, I assume you are in the latest version...
To date, there is no direct connectivity available between ECC and BI 4.0 (current release of BOBJ).
You may need to use one of some of the following ways:
1. Using Plug and play Rapid marts (using Data Services)
2. Build your own custom marts (using Data Services)
3. Building SAP BW and using SAP integration kit
Having said, there is a plan for direct connectivity between SAP ECC and BI 4.0 in the upcoming enhancement to BI 4.0.
Please refer the link below for more details:

Number of records in BPC Cube

Dear Friends,
I am working in EPM10 NW/BW 7.31.
I just want to know how can I find number of records in BPC cube from the back end (i.e using T-Code RSA1)
As I am not a BW expert, any simple suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
The way I do it is right click on the cube, then display data.
goto the bottom section of the menu where you see the following:
tick output number of hits
also change the max no, of hits to a high number
then run
in the output screen you sum up the first column, it will give you the total number of records in the cube
