SAP BPC 5.1 vs BPC 7.0

Hi
Can someone throw light on the major changes in SAP BPC version 7.0 as compared to version 5.1. It will be great if you can direct me to a link that gives SAP BPC 7.0 release notes.
Thanks
Abhinav

JP,
Can you please explain your statement "In Administration point of you" I don't understand.
I beleive your statements may be a little misleading.
5.1 and 7.0 are first of all, completly different SAP products.
From an end user view, they are extremely alike. From an admin view they have many commonalities. Of course 7.0NW utilizes NetWeaver features and functions. So, for example, creating a Data Manager packages is vastly different.
The natural upgrade path for 5.1, (or ax, ax) would be 7.0M, (Microsoft version).
7.0MW runs on NetWeaver .
As a side note;
Regardless of the experience with other SAP products and NetWeaver ; If you don 't know BC you will have extreme difficulties implementing BC 7.0NW.
I see so many questions from people that have no ideal how to even spell BC trying to implement it. They do nothing but demonstrate thier own ignorance and create such hugh problems for everyone else. To be fair, I have even seen such bad BPC application designs and builds from people that have years of experience with the product, (and other PM products).

SAP BPC 7.0 - Microsoft Platform - SP Upgrade Question

Hi Experts,
I was tasked to upgrade the SP of our client's SAP BPC 7.0 -Microsoft Platform System from Release 7.0.116 (SP07) to SP09. Details are below
Prod System:
Multi Server : 2 Servers
Application Server:
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Ed SP2 32-Bit
IIS Web Server
SAP BPC 7.0 Release 7.0.116
Database Server:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 64-Bit
MS SQL 2008 64-Bit
My question, since Server Manager Version 7.0.116 is equal to SP07, do i need to download SP08 and SP09, and then apply SP08, and the underlying patch on top of SP08, then SP09, or can i just simply download only SP09 and then install it only in our App Server, since it was mention in the Upgrade Guide that SP of SAP BPC are cumulative. And if there are any configuration settings that i need to take unto consideration? I'm new to this one since I'm accustomed of SP Upgrade in SAP ECC Systems in TxCode SPAM.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
After performing the steps Nilanjan suggested you may want to look at the Post-Installation Steps recommended by SAP. They are as below:
Post-Installation Steps
1. If you already have an application set in your previous version, do the following:
a) After installing this support package, update existing reports by choosing Publish Report on the Web Administration page.
b) If you have already enabled Insight, update existing reports by choosing Build Report on the Insight Dashboard page.
c) To apply fixes available for business rules, choose Modify Application within the Administration Console. Do not select options related to desired application.
2. This support package contains an appset parameter called RETRIEVE_ON_OFFLINE. To restrict data retrieval while an application set is unavailable, access the Appset Parameter page within Web Administration, then add a key named RETRIEVE_ON_OFFLINE with one of the following values:
1, which allows retrieval or data export while the application set is unavailable.
0, which prevents retrieval or data export while the application set is unavailable.
Log off and then logon to BPC for Office if the system offline message displays after setting the application set to Available. This downloads the dimension cache file if a dimension member or structure has changed while the system was offline.
3. We recommend changing the syntax of dimension formulas related to CSS message [IM 1249006] Data Integrity Issue with Account dimension / 4 Hierarchies as follows:
a) Use [%dimension%].[%current hierarchy%].CurrentMember. Level.Ordinal>0 instead of [%dimension%].[%the other hierarchy%].[All %dimension%.%the other hierarchy%] in dimension formulas to check the status of the current view of the current hierarchy because the current member may have been changed as a member of another hierarchy within multiple hierarchy dimensions.
b) Use 0 (zero) instead of NULL in IIF statements when the member from the current view does not match the condition of the IIF statement, as NULL may return an incorrect value. For example, if the hierarchy is the third hierarchy, #iif([Account].[H3].CurrentMember.Level.Ordinal>0,%Arg%, 0).
4. To run the Management Console in multiple server environments, change Authentication and Access Control of the ManagementConsole virtual directory in IIS from Integrated Windows Authentication to Basic Authentication. You can find the virtual directory on the Application server in the Directory Security tab of the virtual directory's property in IIS.
Hope this helps.

Performance issues with SAP BPC 7.0/7.5 (SP06, 07, 08) NW

Hi Experts
There are some performance issues with SAP BPC 7.5/7.0 NW, users are saying they are not getting data or there are some issues while getting data from R/3 system or ECC 6.0. Then what things do I need to consider to check, such as what DataSources or Cubes I need to check? So, how to solve this issue?
What things I need to consider for SAP NW BI 7.0 u2013 SAP BPC 7.5 NW (SP06, 07, 08) Implementation?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Qadeer

Hi,
New SP was released in February, and now most of the new bugs should been caught ,This has a Central Note. For SP06 it's Note 1527325 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP06 NetWeaver Central Note to fix any issues. Most of the improvements in SP06 were related to performance, especially when logging on from the BPC clients.There you should be able to find a big list of fixes/improvements and Notes that describe those. Some of the Notes even have test description how to reproduce that issue in the old version.
hope this will help you

SAP BPC 5. 0 VS Outlooksoft 5.0 SP 2

What are the main differences between SAP BPC 5. 0 /5.1 VS Outlooksoft 5.0 SP 2 ?
As far as i know Outlooksoft 5.0 is the newer version of Outlooksoft Everest. Since SAP Acquired Outlooksoft, they renamed to its own brand SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 5.0 and later 5.1.
One more question: Does BPC 5.1 works with Oracle 10 G ? It seems like OS 5.0 works with Oracle but could not find any information if BPC 5.1 works with Oracle.
If it is being developed currently, what are the time table for next release that works with Oracle 10G
Any answers would be greatly appreciated !!!
Thanks

You should have checked "PAM" at
http://service.sap.com/pam
on the find look for "Business Planning and Consolidation", I tried for BCP but it didn't find anything.
there you can find the details about DB released, OSs ...
On the DB tabs I can only find MS SQL Server, then, it does not work (or it is not supported) with Oracle at all

Upgrade SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP4 to SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP8

Hello,
I want to make an Upgrade from SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP4 to SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP8 and i need to know what are the consideration to make that.
Do you have any suggestion, link or information to get this activity?
Best regards

Hello,
As far as I know, you don't need to perform all configuration steps from SP04 to SP08 in ABAP tier, but it is good to check if everything is ok.
You can also check upgrade guide available at http://service.sap.com/instguidesEPM-BPC (choose 7.5 version for SAP NetWeaver).
Regarding Apshell: sometimes a few changes are made in the way things work in the backend (logic) and of course, some improvements also. These changes can be reflected in Apshell, so yes, every time you upgrade you must recreate apshell executing UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT as described in installation guide (also available at the above link).
If you have any problems during apshell activation in SP08, check this thread: Issues on Activating Apshell on BPC Netweaver 7.5 SP08
It is already available Patch 1 for BPC Client and for BPC .Net server, you should also consider applying it (release note is 1597464).
Hope it helps!

SAP BPC 10 Checking Patch Level

Hi,
I just want to clairfy my understand of how to check the patch level for SAP BPC 10. If I go to System -> Status: I can see Component: CPMBPC, Release: 801, SP-Level: 0003.
Does this mean that SAP BPC is in Support Package Level 3? In turn I have checked and it looks like the latest one is Support Package 12?
Is this correct?
Cheers,

Hi Sara,
CPMBPC 800 and CPMBPC 801 are two different components, the one is with enhancement pack 1 in the BW component.
you can not install SP13 on a 801 to get SP6 according to you list.
your list is not correct, please see correction below.
CPMBPC 800 SP1
CPMBPC 800 SP2
CPMBPC 800 SP8 = CPMBPC 801 SP1 ( = means they have the same corrections and functionality )
CPMBPC 800 SP9 = CPMBPC 801 SP2
CPMBPC 800 SP13 = CPMBPC 801 SP6

How to use the RateEntity dimension in SAP BPC?

Hello everbody,
I am implementing a consolidation process using SAP BPC. I want to use the RateEntity dimension, to translate a same currency into different exchange rates depending on the company.
I want the company which ID is GFU (which is from Brazil) in LegalEntity dimension is converted using a special exchange rate. I have added a GFU member in RateEntity dimension, and I have entered the exchange rates for the member GFU and for the member Global in RateEntity dimension.
But the problem is that after I run the FX Restatement package, converted data for this company is not the proper one, because Global exchange rates have been used instead of GFU exchange rates. Does anybody know why? Do I have to do anything else?
Thank you very much for your time

Do you see the search functionality in the upper left of the screen?
Okay, now type in ecatt, press enter and in the next screen filter on blogs.

Reports from SAP BPC NW 7.5

Hi All,
Our Landscape:
SAP ECC EhP1
SAP BW 7.10
SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 (WebI/Crystal/Xcelsius)
SAP BPC NW 7.5
We are new to BPC. We would like to know where do we need to develope the reports on BPC data. Can some one help me on this. If some one have any best practices or options that where we can develope the reports, pls let me know
Like we can do reporting directly on BPC with only couple of reports from BW/BOBJ or all reports from BW/BOBJ.
Here we are planning to use BW as warehouse solution and BOBJ tools for reporitng on BW data.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
BPC is a planning & a reporting tool. It can also be used for Consolidation. As mentioned in the previous reply, the data in BW has to be made available in BPC Application (cube) to be able to report it out.
You might need to create transformation files and conversions files between your BW cubes and the BPC cubes to realise the data transfer to BPC application (cube). Note, BPC cubes are automatically generated when you create an application from the BPC front end.
Please refer to some good introductory blogs available on SDN to get to know the BPC terminology and BW terms. Then BPC has an reporting tool in itself. You can create reporting using EVDRE for example which displays the data landed in BPC cubes. This typically will have actual data (loaded from BW), plan data (planned through Input Schedules or flat file data loads).
Hope this give some brief idea.
Thanks

SAP BPC MS 7.5 with Extended Analytic Analyzer and EPM connector

Hi experts,
I need your inputs regarding Extended Analytic Analyzer add ins.
I installed the SAP Business Object Extended Analytic Analyzer hoping to integrate the Xcelsius in SAP BPC MS 7.5
I am following the HTG to integrate but got lost.
In EPM connector steps, I cannot find the option from OPERATION TYPE: Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
The only options available under operation type are
EPM Report
Retrieve Environments
Retrieve Models
Retrieve Dimensions
Retrieve Dimension Members
Input Data
Retrieve Business Process Flows
Retrieve Context
Retrieve Members Property Values
RetrieveText From Library
It doesn't include the option Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
Im wondering if there are different version of the epm connector? Was my EPM connector differs from the HTG?
And also in Excel under Extended Analytic Analyzer, the function =GETREPORTDEFINITION() is missing
Please help me on this guys..
Thanks in advance.

It seems a very good oportunity to use FIM.
FIM was designed especially for exchange data betweeen different SAP product.
FIM will provide an easy way to do the conversion using wizards and also will assure you about data inetgrity and quality.
This will be the way forward but more details has to be define during the implementation.
I hope this will help you.
Kind Regards

Custom Process Types not working in SAP BPC 10.0

Hi Experts,
We have migrated from SAP BPC 7.5 NW to SAP BPC 10.0 NW.
We have three Custom Process Types created in BPC 7.5NW using the super class CL_UJD_SIMPLE_ACTOR as super class.
It has been made Obsolete and Final class in BPC 10.0NW and the Custom Process types are not running as expected.
Can you please suggest if there is any alternative for using the existing custom process types? Or do we have any alternative for creating custom process types?
*Note: We have tried replacing the superclass with CL_UJD_ACTOR instead of CL_UJD_SIMPLE_ACTOR but of no use.
Regards,
Balraj.

Questions on SAP BPC 10.1

Dear Friends,
I have some basic questions as below, could you please answer?
1) Can we create Excel Reports from Excel interface (EPM Add-in)?
2) Once we create the Unified model, can we see this unified model in BW? as a cube?
3) How to make Unified model in to Auditable status? Currently my unified model is showing RED dot under Auditable status. Will it show GREEN if its Auditable ?
4) I am trying to create Input Template. I have navigated through "LIBRARY"-->"Input Forms" and then I have given input form name and Model name. But the "next" button is disabled because..its shows empty "No Data" for Name: and InforProvide. Its has "Search", "History", "All" options.
What should I do here?
5) Can we write a Script logic / BADI to perform a calculation in Unified model? Do we have Data Manager Packages in 10.1?
6) How give Security access like Task Profiles, Member access profiles?
Thank you so much in Advance.
