SAP BPC 7 Input schedule refresh issue

Hi,
I have created a input schedule which is working fine on my machine in dev and production and same is working fine in dev on my client machine but it is not working in the production system.
I checked the input schedule in Production and found that EDVRE is not ok on my client machine but same template shows no error on my machine.
Please suggest if i am missing someting.

SAP BPC NW- input schedule refresh issue

Hi Sanjeev,
Without looking, it will be very difficult to tell the reason.
When you are saying that the EVDRE is not OK, then check in the first cell, where EVDRE formula is written. You need to trace it down. It will be difficult for us to say. However, I have a feeling that there must be some problem in the key ranges only. Check the formulas as well.
Hope this helps.

BPC 10.0 Input Schedule refresh : investigating performance issues on frontend side

Hello,
We are running SAP BPC NW 10.0 SPS8.
We recieve a lot of complaints regarding performance issues.
More specifically BPC Input Schedule refresh takes ages (11 minutes actually)
I am a SAP Basis Administartor with some solid BW experience, but very linited BPC knowledge.
So raf we have tried the following :
* BPC Full and light ptmimize of the BPC Cubes.
* Updating Oracle Statistics
* Activating ABAP/SQL traces*
* Checking USJTAT Logs
Then it rutned out that the perfromance problems werre not caused by the backend SAP BW server (only 9 seconds of bakend processing are displayed in UJSTAT).
The overwhelming majority of the processing is spent on the frontend side : on the computer of the user.
We really would like to know what is happening on BPC Frontend side, but are really lacking any investigative method .....
other that checking memory/CPU usage o nthe frontend computer.
From your experience, is there any tool/method to allow to conduct some investigation on what is going on the frontend side, when a BPC Input Schedule is refreshed ?
Thank you for your attention.

Hello Vadim,
We still need to get confirmation from the external consultants who developed the BPC solution, but as far as I can understand it :
We do not use use member formulas
We are indeed talking about EPM (without EPMRetrieveData functions)
The perfromance problems occur in DEV and QAS , after a restore of the BPC environment (backup from PRD)
We already had the problem in the past, but we never knew precisely how to solve it, it is as if there was some missing links between the restored BPC environment from PRD and the DEV/QAS system
One additional information, we checked the EPM CLient Log , and here are the errors displayed while refreshing the input schedule :
The thing is that I have no idea what it means ...

Drop Down list in BPC Input Schedule

Hi all,
In an input schedule I need to have some values "controlled", and allow to give a value only among a list of specific values. So I came up on the idea to builld it using cell "validation" feature of native Excel, just like I have been able to find in [this thread|Re: Regarding the Function.......] (by the way, great the hint about using name's ranges for being able to define the list in a different sheet than where it is being used).
So, I need to achieve one more thing. Let's say that the values I must include in the list are not numerical values, but alphanumerical, so I must combine in the schedule the alphanumerical value with the numerical value it represents. I have played around with excel and BPC formulas for quite a while already but cannot get it to work. Anybody has implented it?
Regards,
Rafael
PS: I get to define the drop down list of values in a cell and get it to write the corresponding numerical value in another cell referenced by a EvSND, but this only works in one direction (the cell does not get updated when I change the current view for example).

Hi Rafael,
I've done something similar.
In one cell I've put a drop down list, using Excel's data validation. The members in the list are human-readable text values, so the user can select one of these descriptive values.
In a second cell, these text values are transcoded into numeric values, thanks to function VLOOLUP. This cell is in the data range of an EvDRE expansion area, so when the user saves data the numeric value gets written to the back-end.
In a 3rd cell I fetch the numeric value currently saved on the server, via an EvGET.
In a 4th cell, I transcode that value into the corresponding text value, using another VLOOKUP function.
Finally, I've used function AFTER_REFRESH to read the content of the 4th cell, and set the value of the drop-down cell to that value. The VBA instruction to do the latter thing is something similar to:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = <the value of the 4th cell>
This way, the drop-down entry selected by default after refreshing data is the value currently stored on the server.
However I still miss something. I've set the Excel validation only in the 1st cell of the 1st row, and I want that the EvDRE expansion copies the validation to all other cells in all rows resulting from expansion. But this does not happen! Validation is not copied during expasion.
How's that? Everything else is copied--values, formats, formulas. Why validation is not copied?
* UPDATE
I've solved this issue. The solution is described here:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3209213

Hi Ethan,
yes, you are right, with VLOOKUP you get the information I want, but only in ONE direction. By "one direction" I mean that I can get in the cell with the VLOOKUP the text I want by reading a (numerical) value from a different referenced cell. But I would also need to be able of changing value in that same cell (by picking up one of those text values from a drop down list) and having the corresponding numerical value written on the referenced cell. Can you see the difference?
In few words, I would need a cell to read and write a value (just as the raw EvSND allows), but converting the numerical value into its corresponding text value.

Bpc input schedule does not show all data

Hello gurus, i have i question, a bout the following situation: i am using SAP BPC 7forNW , and i am creating an input schedule , it has account and entity, so i capture several values and then send data, and then appears a message , like this "all values were sent ,zero failed."
But, at the end, only a few of the sent values are shown, several of them disappear with no pattern, and in BI7 all of them appear correctly
What can i do in order to show all of the values that were caprtured in that input schedule?
Best regards

Hi,
The easiest thing you can do is that just remove some of the data from excel cell and "Refresh and expand" the Input schedule after you send the data to see whether you get the data correctly.
Sometime refresh more than once and see you get the data.
Optimise the application as well.
Hope it helps

BPC Input Schedule: DELETE button erase background color

Hi,
Can anyone help on the following problem:
I have an input schedule (either with nested rows or simple) and BPC by default marks all changed cells with red color. But when [DEL] button key is pressed in a cell all other marked cells on the same row loses their red color and became white again. It's undesirable behavior.
I've searched the forum and internet but nowhere this topic arise, maybe i'm doing something wrong. The one idea is to write a VBA macros which automatically recognize modified cells and then restores their previous backgrounds. Is there another solution?
Thank you!
Ivan

Hi,
When you create a report/input schedule using standard formating option system will generate with [multiple format|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/87/2e5940a305405f957eb987daf30d5b/content.htm] .When you change the value it will turn to Red beacuse it defined under format range with criteria CHANGED and format with Red color. But system will not recognise DELETE as change. That is why if you want to delete a specific value you should make that value as 0 then only system will consider that as change other wise system would prompt you a message "There is no data to refresh".
I think you have to write your own macro if you really want to use DELETE function,instead of zerorise the values.
hope it helps...

Raju

Linking BPC input schedules to external spreadsheets

Does anyone know the workaround to link an input cell in an input schedule to an external spreadsheet cell and the formula stays there after save?

Hi,
I have never tried this, but I think this should be feasible. But need to remember 2 things.
1. The link to the external file should be properly quantified. So that the file is accessible from all the client systems.
2. The link should be in a static cell. If the cell is under the dynamic expansion, then the link will be overwritten after expansion.
Hope this helps.

Issue with refresh of an input schedule

Hi Experts,
We are facing an issue with the refresh of an input schedule.
We have a custom refresh via macro whereby we first refresh 3 reports in other tabs and then refresh the main schedule.
The problem is for a particular test id we need to click on refresh twice but for developer id we refresh it only once and see the value.
Can you help what could be the cause of it.
In the main report we have all dimensions in either row or column axis and we are also using Dimension override for 3 dimensions.
Let me know if any other info is required.
Thanks
Raman.

Hello,
Could you please specify the following information:
1) What do you mean by "custom refresh"? is this feature developed by the custom development team?
2) What are the level patch and the version of the product?

Vijay,
   you can achieve this with a single evdre saved as an Input schedule...
couple of pointers
1)if you do not want   to have the col names changing with a change in current view......put a NOEXPAND   for the TIme dimension in the expansion range(where you have SELF,DEP etc)
2)for the report part....use getonlyrange    to have it pulled from the DB instead of user entering data...
go to helpsite   for the exact usage of NOEXPAND and GetOnlyRange..play around enough...i'm sure you'll figure it out!!!!
hope it helps....

To open a BPC excel input schedule through a Business Process Flow

Hi,
I have a Business Process Flow that has to open an excel input schedule.
In the define actions tab of a Process step, I have chosen the BPC for excel interface and open template option.

Now when I open the Business Process Flow and Select this Process step, it opens only the BPC for excel interface and not the excel input schedule template.
Can anyone expalin the reason that caused this problem and also a solution to fix this issue ?
PS :I am trying to open this Business Process Flow using BPC Web and my BPC for excel is not open yet.
Thanks in Advance

Hello Aparna,
Please select Application name in BPF.
Please check for Application name in which you are opening the template.

BPC 7.5 Input Schedule in Excel 2010 - Expand time dimension dynamically

Hi BPC experts,
My project dimension has two properties, one for startdate and one for enddate of the underlying project. Example: Project XYZ, startdate: 2010.APR, enddate: 2011.JUN
In my input schedule I need the timespan to expand on month level from 2010.APR up until 2011.JUN. In this case it needs to expand 15 months where each month is displayed per column.
The issue is that all projects have different start and end dates and the expansion on month level needs to adjust accordingly. There is no maximum project time frame but if it helps I can live with a maximum expansion of for instance max 100 months.
I have another dimension for time with a hierarchy year - quarter - month (month being the basemember).
Every tipp highly appreciate!
Regards
Sven

Hi,
1) i use EvMBR for list values the CEBE necesaries.
2) Define ListBox by source list the EvMBR
Is necesary use Index() for get value the indice returned by Listbox when is selected the value.
3) Use EvGTS() linked to value getting by Index()
4) This is code in EvGTS:
=SI(EVGTS($N$11;1;"CEBE:CI1CA001";$N$14;"CUENTA:ZACB0001";$N$16;I28;"MONEDA_PPTO:USD";"PARAMETRO:NA";$N$20;$N$21;"SUCURSALES:NA";$M$27;$N$24)="#NODATA";"";EVGTS($N$11;1;"CEBE:CI1CA001";$N$14;"CUENTA:ZACB0001";$N$16;I28;"MONEDA_PPTO:USD";"PARAMETRO:NA";$N$20;$N$21;"SUCURSALES:NA";$M$27;$N$24))

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.

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

Retrieve data from a report or database to an input schedule in BPC for exc

Hi,
I am using BPC for excel ( v 5.1).
I've created an Input Schedule(Input-1) using BPC for excel and sent data to the dB.
I need this (Input-1) data to use it in a new Input Schedule(Input-2), for further manipulation.
I need this data to be dumped in a sheet for further calculations in (Input-2).
How can i bring this data?
I created an input schedule(Input-2) and tried building an evdre in an excel macro to get it as a report of the 1st Input. But i was unsuccessful. I faced an error "ERR: Invaled KeyRange Header".
Am i thinking in the correct way? Do we 've any other options to retrieve this data?
Need your help to proceed....
(Pretty soon, the environment is going to be with version 7.0)

The macro i use to run when my workbook opens is as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "Application1"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a2") = "=EvDRE($A$1,A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Also I 've tried this too:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
    Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = "Dump_Sheet"
    Sheets("Dump_Sheet").Range("a1") = "=EvDRE(""Application1"",A14:B20)"
    Application.Run ("MNU_eANALYZE_REFRESH")
End Sub
Both of these gave me the same error code :
#ERR : Invalid KeyRange Header

How to get the refreshed data from Input schedule while using evsnd

Hi Experts,
                 I am using EvSnd function for sending the data from a Input schedule.
Acc                Value
xx----
    xy------        10
    xz-------       20
these above cell value 10,20 are getting sent by evsnd function which is written in different cell.
Now after successfully sending, how I can see these are also getting refreshed, like in Evdre
Acc                Value
xx----
        30
    xy------        10
    xz-------       20
Thanks
Anupam

Thanks my friend.
But the point is I need to show the updated data for all the cells (for xx, xy,xz). The point is if I use the evsnd then after the data has been sent, those two cells xy & xz will be blank once again. And so if the user will not be able to check what the data they have sent for these member from that sheet.
              They have to get a report which will show the figures.
And we can't even use the evgts in the xy/xz cell as the formula is going to be erased as soon as the user enter the data in that.
so how we can do the sheet similar to evdre ip schedule..where after every data send the cell range shows latest data.
