SAP BW 7.3 and BPC 7.5 NW

Hi,
We are currently using BPC 7.5 Netweaver with BI 7.01
We are now planning to migrate our BI to BW 7.3. We had earlier heard that BPC 7.5 does not work or is not supported with BW 7.3
Kindly help and let me know if BW 7.3 and BPC 7.5 work together. Is there any specific support pack on BW or BPC that will make them work together.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
In case you still need assistance on this subject, BPC 7.5 SP09 is supported on NW & BW 7.3.
You will need to install the add-on CPMBPC 753 now available in the SMP.
Kind Regards,
Marcelo

How to RollUp Amount data based on SAP BI GL Account to BPC Grp GL Account

Hi All,
Initial data format
EXTERN            INTERNAL         AMT
GL Acco                 Grp GL ACC           AMT
0200001              100000          0100
1000000              100000          0200
1000010              100000          0300
1000011              100000          0400
1000012              100000          0500
1000020              200000          0010
1000030              200000          0020
1001000              200000          0030

1001002              200000          0050
We are having Group GL Account as our master data in member sheet of Account dimension. And we are having GL accounts coming in BPC from SAP BI System ( ECC ) and are mapped (as in above) to Group GL Account in N:1 mapping.
We need to get the expected Rollup Amount data (Refer 3rd column) as below.
Expected Rollup Amount
Column 1    Column 2     Column 3
EXTERN            INTERNAL         AMT
GL Acco                 Grp GL ACC           AMT
0200001     100000        0100
1000000     100000        0300
1000010     100000        0600
1000011     100000        1000
1000012     100000        1500
Please share your valuable inputs in this regard.
Regards
Amit

Hi,
Since, you are converting all the external GL accounts to the same internal Group GL account, it wont be rolled up. Instead, it will be aggregated.
If you report on 100000, you will see the data as a total sum.
Hope you got the idea.
So, this means, you cannot map all of them to the same internal member. You need to map them to different members and you need to create a hierarchy on those members for the correct rollup to take place.
Hope this helps.

Connecting SAP BI 4.1 to BPC 10

Hi,
I am looking to connect SAP BI 4.1 to BPC 10 and want to understand the best way to connect to the system.
We were SAP BPC 7.5 and the ODBO connector was bad...very bad...
So we had to export data out of BPC to BW.
I know these is a XMLA connector in SAP BPC 10 and will be trying it out.
Has anyone got any experience or best practices on this.
Thanks,

I have found note:
1731626 - Data source connectivity options between BusinessObjects BI tools and BPC
which includes the following:
Web Intelligence BI 4.0
Data source
Runtime connectivity
requirements
Design time requirements
BPC 7.5 (MS, NW)
UNX + XMLA
IDT
BPC 7.5 (MS, NW)
OLAP UNV +BPC ODBO 2.0
UDT
BPC 10 MS
UNX + XMLA
IDT
BPC 10 NW
BICS / BEx Query
BEx Query Designer
In turn it looks like I can create a BICs connection via a BEx Query. I know this was not supported in BPC 7.5.
I am trying to find the correct document to understand how i would carry out this connection? Can anyone point me in the correct direction.
Thanks

S&OP on Hana, IBP and BPC

Hi All,
can some one please help me in understanding the difference between S&OP on HANA, IBP and BPC and how they are differentiated from SAP APO?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Kishore

Story started around 2012 with S&OP Hana until version 3.0. Following marketing definition and Gartner group vocabulary, this application has now change its name to IBP S&OP 4.0. Nothing changes within S&OP except improvements with 4.0.
IBP is a new family of application in SCM under Hana
BCP belongs to analytic family, not much appropriate for SCM Concern.
APO is the previous APS of SAP that is still supported until 2025. Say a new customer needs SCM advance planning, better going IBP nowaday but nothing wrong with APO neither

Visual Studio and BPC 10.0

Hi all,
I'm a relatively new Planning Consultant and on a new project have the requirement of having an input screen for the allocation of time, for an individual, against a project.
Examples of the required input are:
- Allocate Nick Carter, to Project ABC, for 28 November 2011, Full Day (8hours).
- Allocate Joe Bloggs, to Project XYZ, from 28th November to 1st February, Full Days
Has anyone used Visual Studio to create an input screen, and maybe used a drag and drop design that integrates well with BPC.
There is also a requirement for Versions, i.e. Scenario 1, Scenario 2, which allow different planning options.
The BPC input screen, even with the Web UI 10.0 is limited, especially due to the way it presents data as numbers as opposed to text.
Any feedback or advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Sabine, thank you for the replies!
We are using BPC 10.0 for NetWeaver, and not MS.
The reassurance that it is technically possible if good for our Project as we can start to move forwards with the Bluerprinting. We are going to use NetWeaver Gateway to connect Visual Studio to SAP (BW and BPC).
We have done some mock-ups for Excel but have come accross some significnat limitations, some of which are column limits, and how we need the input cell, e.g. 8 (hours), to Project Name.
[The current solution looks like this|http://i44.tinypic.com/1o7hjr.jpg], and the way that we thought BPC Excel could look is like this: [BPC Excel Possible Design|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/fef8f.jpg]
I have also found information that there are row and column limitations on excel that will restrict the volume of data we are required to show / input at any one time. (I found information [here|Maximum Number of Columns Exceeded Message; under Sakthi Jaganathan's post)
I'm not sure what you mean by Business Object Connector. From internet research it suggests it's a BOBJ connector for BI4 which we will be using for reporting.
Thanks again for your comments, you don't realise how much it helps us!

SSM and BPC - Implementation Options and Concerns

Hi,
I am hoping that someone can assist with some BPC/SSM implementation queries.
Until recently, our client was intending to implement SEM-CPM and SEM-BPS. Now, our client is considering the implementation of SSM and BPC. This raises a number of questions with regards to these products and their integration with Netweaver 7.0. Kindly see my questions/comments below:
BPC
1. Our client intends to implement BPC 5.1 immediately and then migrate to BPC 7.0 once the integration with BW is provided for. Until BPC 7.0 becomes available, it was assumed that BPC could exchange data with SAP BW by means of a flat file export/import process. From a technical perspective, is this assumption correct? Would you recommend this approach? Are there other ways to enable this data exchange?
2. In order to allow for effective data exchange between BW and BPC, we will need to replicate the BW cubes in BPC and update these cubes with the required BW master and meta data. In this case, I understand that data integrity and synchronization between BW and BPC is very difficult to maintain. What are your views in this regard? What steps can be taken to improve this sychronisation process?
3. SAP has committed to provide BPC/BW integration next year. Considering this, do you recommend that we begin with a BPC 5.1 implementation now or do you recommend that we wait until the integration is provided in version BPC 7.0.?
SSM
1. Does PilotWorks exist in Unix and what data base must it use?
2. What is the maturity of the mapping tool used to map SAP to Pilot Works?
3. Is there any data that must reside in Pilot Works or can all data be centralised in BW?
4. Is there any workstation setup necessary to run Pilot Works off a desktop?
General CPM
1. Even though we are still deciding which planning/balanced scorecard tool is ideal, we intend to begin immediately with the BW data modeling process. Is it reasonable to assume that the eventual decision to implement BPC or SSM will NOT have a significant impact on the data model from a functional or technical perspective? Obviously, we do not wish to build a data model that will be incompatible with BPC/SSM or that will place limitations on BPC/SSM functionality. If BPC/SSM will impact data modelling, what points should we take into consideration when preparing our data model in BW? For example, what data locking issues exist in BPC and how will this impact our BW data modelling?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance/views.
Thanks,
Ross

Hi Ross
Tried to answer your questions on BPC/CPM, my collegues in SSM will answer your SSM queries:
BPC
1. Our client intends to implement BPC 5.1 immediately and then migrate to BPC 7.0 once the integration with BW is provided for. Until BPC 7.0 becomes available, it was assumed that BPC could exchange data with SAP BW by means of a flat file export/import process. From a technical perspective, is this assumption correct? Would you recommend this approach? Are there other ways to enable this data exchange?
Yes this is a right approach.
2. In order to allow for effective data exchange between BW and BPC, we will need to replicate the BW cubes in BPC and update these cubes with the required BW master and meta data. In this case, I understand that data integrity and synchronization between BW and BPC is very difficult to maintain. What are your views in this regard? What steps can be taken to improve this sychronisation process?
You can use informatica with whom SAP have a OEM agreement, to facilitate this process
3. SAP has committed to provide BPC/BW integration next year. Considering this, do you recommend that we begin with a BPC 5.1 implementation now or do you recommend that we wait until the integration is provided in version BPC 7.0.?
You should start with 5.1 implementation and later migrate to 7.0. With that you can start using the functionality and only the platform layer will change later
General CPM
1. Even though we are still deciding which planning/balanced scorecard tool is ideal, we intend to begin immediately with the BW data modeling process. Is it reasonable to assume that the eventual decision to implement BPC or SSM will NOT have a significant impact on the data model from a functional or technical perspective? Obviously, we do not wish to build a data model that will be incompatible with BPC/SSM or that will place limitations on BPC/SSM functionality. If BPC/SSM will impact data modelling, what points should we take into consideration when preparing our data model in BW? For example, what data locking issues exist in BPC and how will this impact our BW data modelling?
There will not be any compromises on functionality and therefore you should be good to have any data model within BPC model

Same BW for BEX Reporting and BPC

Hello Experts,
Iu2019m working in a BW and BPC project. We have a BW 7.01 with several cubes, DSOu2019s and queries for different areas (FM, FI, HR, etc..), the front end is Microsoft for client decision. We want to install BPC 7.5 Netweaver in the same BW.
Is there any problem to have our current models and the new applications (cubes) and dimensions (characteristics) of BPC in the same BW? What is the best practice? Is there any SAP restriction?
I just can think in risks at the moment that we need to apply Support Packages or Enhancement Packages, I mean, take care of both applications.
Thanksu2026

Hi Jose ,
Please refer to the below thread for your question.

Connection Problem between BiW Server and BPC Server

Dear all,
Situation,
We have a CSV file dumped in BI Application server in directory defined by us for all Transaction data. Now this CSV file needs to be moved to BPC Server.
Connection/Link between BI and BPC server is missing. So we need one link between BI and BPC server, so that we can automate the movement of CSV from BI server to BPC server.
Is there is any Tool from which can establish connection between two.(i.e. BiW and BPC server).
OR
Do we have any alternate solution of Transfering Transaction data from SAP R/3 or BiW Server to BPC Server.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I installed the Content Server with DB instance. ECC on AIX and the Content Server on Windows are on different domains and wanted to integrate. After the installation what I did is as follows...
I am trying to create the Content Repository using the Tx- OAC0, given the the following details as
Content Repository name--- DMS_xxxx
Document Area - DMS
Storage Type -- HTTP Content Server
Version -0046
HTTP Server --- fully qualified host name of the Content Server
Port Number --- 1090
HTTP Script --- ContentServer\ContentServer.dll
Physical Basic Path--- (initially) -
/usr/sap/<ECCSID>/SYS/global/
(modified) --- E:\ContentServer\ -
not available, thought it will create, even created later
Physical archive path --- SAME as Physical Basic Path
When I check the connection, I am getting an error "Content repository DMS_xxxx does not exists.
When I check Tx- CSADMIN-- it gives an error saying the "HTTP error : 4010 (authorized) ' Permission denied: adminContRep&configSet"
I am not sure what user should i use for this and what should be the information of ContentStorageHost, ContentStorageName and Storage need to be provided.
Please help me in this....

Difference between BPC for MS and BPC for NW

Hi All,
I'm looking for some comparative analysis between BPC for MS and BPC for NW. Can you please give me your points or direct me to some link/material where I can find such stuff.
Primarily I'm focusing on following two points:
- How would the integration to SAP BI work (=differences between SAP BPC (NW) and SAP BPC (MS))?
Could the same degree of automation be established?
- I was told that SAP BPC (MS) could be much faster implemented than the NW version. Is this really the case? Why?
I would really appreciate your earliest response.
Regards,
Shabbar

Hi,
BPC for MS runs on Microsoft platform where as BPC for NW runs on SAP Netweaver.
BPC for NW is tightly integrated with SAP BI all the dimensions and applications created in BPC NW can be seen in BI system in the form of Infoobject (dimensions) and Infocubes (applications).
Performance depends on the complexity and scalability of the project. BPC for NW may undergo lots of improvements and developments in future versions.
search SDN u will get help.
Hope this helps

Norton Firewall and BPC Admin

Hi
One of my client has problems with Norton Firewall (Version 8.7.4.79) and BPC Admin (v5.2). When the Firewall is on, even at the lowest security level and with OSoftAdminMain.exe in "secured progam" it does not want to log on!
The solution is to turn off the firewall.
I was just wondering if someone has this problem?
Nic

Hi Nicolas Argente,
please setting the Norton Firewall and Antivirus to unblock the SAP BPC AddIn such as:
EV4DMMPM, EV4Excel, Ev4ExcelPM,Ev4Excel.dll.
You can find that files on client directory: C:\Program Files\BPC
I hope my information can help you.
Thanks,

Difference between BCS and BPC

Hi Experts,
Can Someone explain me what is the difference between BCS and BPC.
Thanks in Advance

BCS is developed by SAP and uses BW for the data storage, as well as other BW objects for master data and virtual infocubes with imbedded consolidations logic for reporting. This is, in my opinion, the most dynamic consolidations too and best for more complex scenarios.
BPC is the purchased Outlooksoft tool that does not until recently include the use of BW, and is better for simple consolidations scenarios.
SAP can provide more information regarding both.
There is yet another tool, previously know as Cartesis, and now called SAP Financial Consolidations. This is also better than BPC for complex scenarios.

HELP ME IN step by step installation for sap 4.7 IDEAS AND sap 4.7 EE

HI
EXPERTS CAN ANYBODY GIVE STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION PROCESS FOR BOTH
SAP 4.7 IDEAS AND EE VERSIONS I AM NOT THAT MUCH PROFICIENT IN INSTALLING I HOPE U R GUIDLINES CAN MAKE ME CLEAR IN INSTALLING I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS RATHER THAN THIS TO ANSWER
1.IS THE ISTALLATION PROCESS OF ALL SAP VERSIONS ARE SAME?
2.WHAT IS AN OBJECT IN SAP?
3.WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPOSITE ROLE AND A DERIVED ROLE?
YOU CAN SEND ANSWERS TO MY MAIL ID:[email protected]
THANK YOU TO ALL IN ADVANCE

Hey Rajesh,
answers:
1) Yes, the installations procedures is almost the same for all SAP versions, however its advisible to use follow the installation guides which comes with the DVD or is also available in SAP marketplace..
2) Object is SAP is almost everything in Sap.
object could be anything like
TABLES
PROGRAMS
VIEW
FUNTTION MODULES
DOMAIN
DATA ELEMENT
STRUCTURE
and so on
3)Composite role is the combination of two or more roles(be it 2 or more single roles or combination of two or more composite roles or permutation of single and composite role).. whereas derived roles can inherit all authorization objects from the parent role and can have its own authorization objects as well..
Hope this clears your doubts.
Revert for any clarifications..
Please reward for usefull post.

SSO between SAP Portal 7.3 and Ruby on Rails

Hello Everyone,
We are planning to integrate SAP Portal 7.3 and a RoR application and I am wondering If someone can share some experience (If you have any of course) on how to establish SSO between SAP Portal and RoR.
The SAP Portal will act as service provided and RoR as a consumer, we don't have LDAP, so the Portal UME is in ABAP and RoR uses an own UME database. We have SSO between our Portal and SAP Backend systems.
In RoR customers will have access to their own information (Invoices, etc..) that will be provided by the backend system.
URL transaction and iFrames is not an option for us.
The second option is to call Web Services, directly or through the SAP Portal (we are using a central sr).
I am a NetWeaver consultant who heard about RoR but have no experience in this field.
All help and tips are greatly appreciated!.
Regards,
Ridouan

We used Client certificates. Still working on the PoC.

SAP PI 7.1 and LU6.2 protocol

We have a new requirement to integrate SAP PI 7.1 with IBM mainframe using LU6.2 connection protocol. I searched this forum and found that it can be achieved using iWay adapter. We have interfaces that need to send data from SAP to IBM mainframe and vice-versa.
What we are not sure is, if we are going use iway adapter... does it requires any software installation on mainframe?
Our situation is, we are not allowed to do any changes or install on mainframe side. There are already several interfaces connecting IBM mainframe with other IBM systems using LU6.2 protocol. IBM mainframe would do same LU6.2 protocol connection to external system irrespective of SAP or other IBM system.
- How does LU6.2 iway adapter works?
- Does iWay LU6.2 adapter requires any software to be installed on mainframe?
- Does iWay LU6.2 adapter accommodated incoming LU6.2 connections calls coming from IBM mainframe to SAP PI 7.1?
Could you please, post your experience with LU6.2 with iway adapter and also help us to understand on above questions.
Thanks a lot in advance!

whenever you buy a 3rd party adapter i dont think you will have to do any installation on the application systems.
You will have the adapter installed on the PI server and which will enable connectivity to the appl. system
