SAP BPC Upgrade Review by SAP

Will SAP provide any kind of review of on the SAP BPC Upgrade from 4.2 to 7.0 M done by Partners

Yes, it's possible to arrange for a review by SAP Consulting. You should contact your local SAP office, either through your existing contacts, or speak to the Consulting Services organization. They can direct you to the BPC experts in your region of the world.
If the partner doesn't have prior experience with BPC upgrades (and Outlooksoft 4.2 in general), I'd recommend that you involve SAP as early as possible, before starting the upgrade if possible.

Hi Kumar
I have tried to answer three of your questions. Hope this will help
Ques. Do we have BPF (Business Process Flow) in BPC 7.0 NW version?
Reply: No
You can refer to the thread: BPC 7.0 - how to design business process flow type Planning process?
Ques. If no, How can we do Approval process in 7.0 NW version ?
Reply: Approval process works with changes in the work status settings while data planning moves over the controlling Approval hierarchy. So in the schedule you can have a display of the current work status using EVLCK()
Ques: Can we do Approval Process with Custom menus ?
Reply: You can refer to the thread: BPC 7.0 - how to design business process flow type Planning process?
"There is also a lot of explanation on using EVMNU on the SAP Service Marketplace in the Documentation Addendum to BPC 7.0 SP02 NW Central Note 1306898."
Have a nice day.
Cheers!

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
for more details.

NO Version Management in SAP BPC-is it in SAP BPC7.0 NW AND/OR SAP BPC70 MS

All,
As far as I know SAP BPC doest not have versions management. How you guys out there handle version management for SAP BPC. Do we have VM on SAP BPC 7.0 NW?
Why there is no VM in BPC. Come on convince me : - )
Thanks,
SK

Guys,
What is the verdict on Version Management being there in BPC? Can you (Saquib or others) give an example as to what Version Management functionality you might be looking for?
From the little I know, when you are doing software development through lifecycle (in SAP it would be called Transport strategy) management, you promote different changes in the target system and hence SAP has an implicit version management. I am assuming that BPC 7.0 NW version would have that automatically since it is promoted through transport strategy only. Are you referring to the same thing as version management or is it something else? But I also read somewhere that only appset is promoted through transport and not sure if each and every component is part of that.
Please enlighten with your insighs.
Thanks.

Hi,
When you process dimension for the first time, a message window will pop up asking to select the version, 2003 or earlier, or 2007. Once this option has been selected. It creates an entry in the table tblDefaults and cannot be changed later.
If you have selected 2003 or earlier, then the dimensions will be saved with .xls extension. In this case, all the excel versions (including 2007) can open the dimension sheets.
If you have selected 2007, the dimensions will be saved with .xlsx extension. In this case, the dimension sheets can be opened only if your system has 2007. If any system has 2003 or earlier version, then they will not be able to open the dimension sheets.
In this case, you need to go to the table and explicitly mention the version in MEMBERSHEET_VERSION.
Hope this helps you.

SAP BPC and SSM

Hi guys
I am currently working on SAP BPC Financial planning project. I know that SAP BPC is used for financial planning & consolidation while SAP SSM is used for operational reviews.I was wondering if there is a value in connecting SAP BPC and SAP SSM. If yes, then how can the financial forecasted numbers in SAP BPC be used in SAP SSM (from conceptual perspective and not technical perspective).
Please let me know.
Thanks,

SAP BPC 10 Certification - Functional

Hi
I have strong functional & domain expertise in FICO.
I am looking forward to train & certify myself in BPC. My basic understanding is BPC is having both technical & functional expertise.
From certification point of view do we have 2 certifications or is it only one certification covering both functional & technical.
My knowledge in BI & Technical is almost nil. How i can prepare myself in this case.
Regards
Aravind

Hi Aravind,
Considering your experience, you should go for functional certification in BPC.
Please search certifications here
https://training.sap.com/us/en/training-options/certification
The following is the latest SAP BPC Certification:
https://training.sap.com/v2/certification/c_epmbpc_10-sap-certified-application-associate---sap-business-planning-and-consolidation-100-g/
Unless your basics are strong, easy not an easy exam to pass. You must have been trained and read the materials.

I suggest to perform the follow steps:
1. Do a client Diagnostic from Client Software Page and make sure everything is green and you have all prerequisite software installed.
2. Make sure you are connected into you PC with an user which is administrator. Otherwise you are not able to install BPC client.
3. Open Add Remove programs and make sure you don't have a previous installation of SAP BPC. Any other version later than 5.x must be removed to be able to install BPC 5.x client.
4. Restart your computer and try to install again BPC client from Client Siftware page in case if you validate steps 1,2,3.

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.
Best regards,
Mihaela

SAP BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.0 upgrade, problem CPMBPC_800

Hello,
We are currently upgrading BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.0. We want to do an upgrade of our existing BPC 7.5, and not an 'clean' installation of BPC 10.0.
Right now we are having some issues with the´basis part of the upgrade.
We have installed the POASBC 100_730 SP01 (POASBC ABAP component) with no problems
and now we want to install the EPM content in the download package 51040691 (Server components).
In the download package 51040691 - there are two folders 'upgrade' and 'installation'
The files have been uploaded into SAP BW 7.3 and the problem now is in 'saint' - we can see the CPMBPC_800 package, but the type is 'INSTALLATION' and there is not an option to choose 'UPGRADE'
Is 'INSTALLATION' the same as a clean installation - or will the package detect the existing SAP BPC 7.5 and do upgrade instead of an installation ?
All help is appreciated
Thank you,

Hello,
we are facing the same issue. Did somebody solve this problem? Is INSTALLTION the same as UPGRADE?
Kind Regards

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 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.

Error when creating a business activity in SAP BPC 10.1

Hi Experts,
I am failing to save a new business activity in SAP BPC 10.1 when setting up a new business process flow. I can validate the the activity successfully, however when I try to save the activity i receive the following message " Saving the workspace failed because of a missing root folder; contact your system administrator"
Please can anyone help me with why I am receiving this message?
Thanks so much

Hi Kudzai,
The error you're getting in BPC 10.1 is because the environments were migrated from BPC 10.0 or older version using transaction UJBR and it was not migrated to 10.1 after the restore.
SAP Note 2052538 provides resolution for this. Please follow the instructions of Upgrade Guide for BPC NW 10.1:
Execute migration program UJT_MIGRATE_100_TO_101 to migrate 10.0 data to 10.1 if the restored environment was backed up from a BPC NW 10.0 system
Execute migration program UJT_MIGRATE_75_TO_101 to migrate 7.5 data to 10.1 if the restored environment was backed up from a BPC NW 7.5 system
Thanks
Rajesh
