SAP BPC doesnt process dimensions, but it shows that was successful

Hello Experts,
We are using SAP BPC 7.0M SP7 with the StarterKit. When we try to process a dimension, it finishes in step 1 of 4, and software says that it was successful, but in BPC Excel we cant show the changes in our dimension, so its not processing anything. Also it doesnt show any info about the process.It also happens in the original IFRS (Application set of the StarterKit), not only in our customized application set.
Any idea about how we can solve it?
Best Regards,
Juan
Edited by: JAnchuelo on Jun 9, 2010 11:31 AM

Hello,
You can take a look at mbrDimension Name within the database to see if it has been added. You can run a query for the member ID to verify that it's been added.
In any event, please let us know.

Ports in SAP BPC for MS Office (Excel, Word or PowerPoint).

Hello to all,
I'm trying to find what ports do I have to open to my firewall to let the customer in to the SAP BPC from the MS Office (Excel, Word or PowerPoint).
I've tried to find it, but I didn't fiond anything in the manuals.
Please I need help.
Thank you in advance.
Pablo Mortera.

You really need to go through the Master & Installation guide as Alwin pointed out. This guide will easily answer questions like this as well as the other question you have posted lately.
From the guide;
If your Application, Web, or Reporting Services server components will be
accessed through a firewall, you should verify with your network
administrator which TCP ports to choose during the installation of
OutlookSoft. By default, port 80 is the setting for standard http access,
and port 443 is the setting for https access. If you require a service to
listen on a different port, you can specify it during the installation program
in u2018Advanced Settings.u2019 See Standard and Advanced settings on page 18.
u2022 Make sure all required server ports are open, and there is communication
between the physical servers on which you are going to install the server
components.
All required ports must be opened for inbound/outbound traffic. By default,
OutlookSoft requires that Ports 80 (used by http) and 1443 (used by SQL
2000/2005), 2725 (used by OLAP 2000) and 2383 (used by OLAP 2005)
are open. For information on the required ports, see Server Manager Help.

Upgrade to SAP BPC 7.0 with cluster system (Front-End & Back-End)

Hello,
I have to do an upgrade document about an outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 in a cluster system.
It has 2 front-ends (IIS cluster windows) & 2 back-ends (SQL Cluster).
We are going to do first the migration in 1 node, and then in another. The first upgrade in the first node I understand. I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then restore the backup of the Appset, and do the posts upgrade action of the Dimension TIME.
But in the second, what do we do??? I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then what??? Do I have to restore the backup of the Appset again???
I need help.
Best regards.
Pablo Mortera.

Hello,
On the second cluster node, you have only to install the software, nothing related to the appset. If you alreay run the migration stepts for the appset, all the information are into daatbase and file server.
However, the normal behaviour is to make the installation on the both nodes, make the basic tests to validate the installation and then proceed with the appset migration.

SAP BPC NW version with SAP Dashboard Design (No Local Connection)

Dear ALL,
I'm working on SAP BPC NW version 10.0 and I'm trying to build some dashboards on it using SAP Dashboard Design.
So, I follow some links online and I failed to proceed at the very beginning stage:
To create a "Local" connection in Excel EPM Add-in.
From the drop down box for the available connection types, I can just see Planning and Consolidation versions for both MS and NW, but nothing called "Local" as referred in those web.
Any ideas?
BR,
Antony

Hi Antony,
Go through the SAP Note 1730125.
Check the attached doc "SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for SAP NetWeaver" in the note

Is it due to any patches missing on AIX/oracle?
Any idea guys? Looks like some oracle/AIX error?

Hello Shrinath,
please post the following content.
shell> aioo -a
Maybe you have reached the maximum number of asynchronous I/O requests.
For example in our SAP environments the following parameters are set
shell> aioo -a
               minservers = 8
               maxservers = 400
               maxreqs = 1228

Excel 2007 Support for versions prior to BPC 5.1

Hi,
Will versions prior to BPC 5.1 support Excel 2007? Specifically 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2?
Thanks,
Mike Lantz

4.0 & 4.1 would not have been tested and certified on 2007 as they were relased before Jan 2005. As of 4.2 SP3 (released April 2006) the supported Excel versions are listed in the release notes as:
Excel 2000 SR1 or later
Excel 2002 (XP)
Excel 2003 or later

5.1 Admin Console and Excel 2007

We previously had Excel 2003 and are in the process of upgrading to 2007. We are getting errors making changes to dimensions in the admin console. Whenever we try to process a dimension, we get an error that says "external table is not in the expected format". Is it possible to set up the 5.1 Admin console to work with Excel 2007?
Thanks,
Blake

Dear Blake Thomas,
Of course, You could use the Ms.Excel 2007 in BPC Admin Console and BPC Excel. One thing you should to know, you should to upgrade your SAP BPC 5.1 with latest SP before. Please you download the latest SP in website SAP marketplace [http://service.sap.com/instguidesEPM-BPC] . If you have upgraded it, you will see the window of confirmation which will ask you use Ms.Excel 2003 or Ms.Excel 2007 for once

Bunch of ERRORS after installing SAP BPC 5.1 for the first time

Hi guys
Our basis guy is installing SAP BPC 5.1 for the first time. After the installation, I can get into SAP BPC - Administration screen but I get a lot of errors when I try to do some changes. Some of them are -
1. Whenever I try getting into the SAP BPC administration I get the following error. But when I click OK it gets me to the administration screen but after that Hell breaks loose
    Error on uncompressing file: Error : ActiveX component can't create object.
2. Create dimensions -
    Split File Error
3. Delete dimensions -
   OLAPConnect Error - The Database with ID = 'ApShell' doesn't exist in the collection
4. BPC for Excel (I am logging in as a system admin)
    The dimension information file cannot be created. There may be a network or security issue.
    Error Message: InitCatalog:Either the user does not have access to the ApShell database, or the database does not exist.
I am sure I will get a lot of errors once I start playing with the configuration.
Please comment.
Thanks,

Hi Ameya Kulkarni,
I sorry I wrong type something,
1. Whenever I try getting into the SAP BPC administration I get the following error. But when I click OK it gets me to the administration screen but after that Hell breaks loose
Error on uncompressing file: Error : ActiveX component can't create object.
==>
You should do this step such as:
1. copy file "XceedZip.dll" into the directory SAP BPC
2. register that file into the register window using sintaks: "regsvr32"
3. If the successfully message box appears, You should open the MS.Excel or SAP BPC administration
2. Create dimensions -
Split File Error
==>
You should check the database your application in MS.SQL first please.Perhaps, It's does not open and retrieve data.
3. Delete dimensions -
OLAPConnect Error - The Database with ID = 'ApShell' doesn't exist in the collection
==>
You should check the database your application in MS.SQL first please.Perhaps, It's does not open and retrieve data.
4. BPC for Excel (I am logging in as a system admin)
The dimension information file cannot be created. There may be a network or security issue.
Error Message: InitCatalog:Either the user does not have access to the ApShell database, or the database does not exist.

You must solve the problem no.2&3 because you should add new user through SAP BPC Administration for the application.
I wish My Suggestion can help you.

NEW TO SAP BPC - Advice on Data Management Packages

Hi,
I am an experienced Microsoft BI User, but am new to SAP BPC.
I am working on a project that has required me to create custom SSIS packages for my client. To date my packages transform / cleanse and format the source into a clean CSV file, that requires no further intervention from the user, other than to use the standard SAP BPC Import Routine, with a simple Transformation file.
In order to fully automate the process, I would like my Custom package to automatically invoke the Standard import package without any user based intervention.
Can anyone advise on this?
I have considered writing further logic in my custom package that would completely bypass SAP BPC Data Manager, and insert the information direclty into the Fact Tables, taking into consideration any members that don't exist in the Dimensions. However, I would prefer not to go down this route unless absolutely necessary.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, so that I can call a clear routine from within my custom package, that would invoke a SAP BPC package /task to clear certain data from the fact table, and then call another Package / task that would update the Fact table based on a fully prepared csv file.
Many thanks

You could modify your custom package to perform all the steps thru BPC import and have the user initiate the Package from the BPC Data Manager. You would just need to add a MODIFYSCRIPT variable (see the standard IMPORT package as an example) and add the BPC tasks required to Convert/Load that data your package already prepares.
I have had prior success having a custom package initiated from within the BPC Data Manager extract data from an external data source (ie: Oracle), use user provided runtime input to customize data extraction parameters, manipulate the extracted data, and import it into BPC.
Unfortunately I've never attempted to initiate a BPC task without the package being initiated from within BPC. But I would surmise that if you provide the proper values for the individual BPC Tasks (ie: Convert and Load) required properties (ie: AppSet, App, User,...), I cannot think why it would not work.

Refresh/Copy of SAP BPC/HANA Environment

Hi experts,
We are running SAP BPC on HANA with BW as our EDW. We would like to refresh our Regression environment with Production. However, i understand that with HANA technology the refresh may not be as simple as just a copy exercise.
Could you please advise on what are the steps or procedures that we need to take note of when undertaking such an exercise?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
TL

Hi TL,
What kind of refresh you are talking about: is it BPC Backup & Restore or system backup and restore?
If it's BPC tool then you shouldn't see any difference from similar procedure on another DB.
If it's HANA backup and restore then it's a completely different thing depending if your HANA box is co-habituated or not.
Please clarify.

Gersh

SAP BPC 10 NW loading data from Infoprovider (data value issue in BPC)

Hi Experts,
We are on SAP BPC 10 - 801 NW - SP05
We are having an error when loading data from infoprovider, we tested in DEV and QA and have similar behaviour: data values which are stored in infoprovider are loaded into BPC model with no differences.
However after make a transport procedure into PROD environment and then loading data into BPC Model something happens: suppose that 100,00 is a data value stored in a BW infoprovider, after loading data into BPC from this infoprovider, different data value is loaded into BPC. E.G 100,0 is in BW , but 10000,0 is store in BPC
Is there any idea to fix it or check it?
Thanks for your answer

Hi Giovanni,
This case occurs with colombian currency and others.
Compare the table TCURX in DEV, QA and PRD.
There must be an entry for currency COP only in PRD.
Like
CURRKEY CURRDEC
COP 0
Note 1240163 explain this behavior.
If you need the value to be stored in 100,00 format in BPC, you can create a routine to convert this value.
