Copy Documents - How to ... Documents in SEM-BPS and BW-BPS

Hi Gurus,
i need some assistance with implementing the Copy Documents functions according to How to ... Documents in SEM-BPS and BW-BPS.
The aim is to copy the documents to a new version. All other document attributes are to remain unchanged.
I have already implemented the function as described in the How-To using UPF_DOC_COPY_EXIT and UPF_DOC_COPY_INIT. The copy-exit ist called but it doesn't work.
- The target version is in the selection of the planning level.
- All characteristics of the info cube are in the planning level.
- There is no difference in the result using variables for the from / to values or using fixed values
Are there any hints to considder like:
characteristic selection in the level
which characteristics to include in the exit parameters (e.g. all with document attribute = active)
for characteristics not to be changed, leave the from / to values in the exit parameters blank
funcition does not work on multi-planning-areas
Thanks in advance and best regards
Steffen

Hello Marc,
thanks for your answer.
We are running BW350 with SP19. I checked the notes regarding comments.
"Note 1028233 - Key figure not taken into account for documents" is not implemented so far - SP20
Note 893377 - InfoProvider assignment of documents in BPS is not activated
As we are on SP19 all other comments are supposed to be implemented.
RSA1 > Documents shows that
all documents created using the WebInterface are saved to the appropriate value combination (without InfoProvider assignment - as supposed)
no document is copied at all.
Best regards
Steffen

Hello Marc and Sander,
I checked the document status and tested the link myself using a PC external to the SAP environment and did not have any problem. You do have to be logged in to do this. If you are not, you should see a page that will appear which says that a login is required to use that feature. On some occassions, users see an error message instead. I apologize for that.

Report on process chains using SEM-BPS

We are looking to develop a tool to:
1. Monitor data loads at the process chain level
2. Within in the same tool, enter error resolution /
action steps for all failed loads
3. Report out % of successful or failed loads, using the data captured by the tool.
We have studied the BW Tables rspcchain, rspcchainattr, rspclogchain, rspcprocesslog, rspclogs, rseventchain and
rspcchaint.
We are considering the following options:
1. Develop an ABAP report and allowing the process chain monitor to manually enter the error resolutions (Perhaps in a Z-Table)
2. Create an InfoCube in BW using the above tables and then write a query, but we can not allow the user to enter error resolutions in the query.
3. Create a transactional infocube in SEM-BPS using the above tables and use the input functionality of tansactional infocube to facilitate the error resolution report entry.
Can anyone suggest any alternate solution, or has anyone encountered similar requirement on project?
One more doubt to check: is there any way to create an infoobject with CHAR type to enter data with 1000 or more characters? Or is there any other alternative solution to it? The doubt is to take care of the text entry for the error resolution.
Milind Vad

Just some thoughts:
Have you considered using document service in BW or even KM (Portal) technology rather than CHAR 1000+ fields? This would give you more flexibility also on the type of document.
For loading there are monitors available (based on tables like RSMONMESS). If you are interested in loads only (and not other process types), maybe using information from the BW load monitor could be beneficial (like RSMONMESS) rather than the process chain stuff.
Maybe it's even worth having an InfoObjekt with a resolution code that links to a document describing the resolution with a key and whenever there is a new solution available create a new key with a new document. That would be most beneficial for reporting (like how many times has this problem / resolution occurred and the like).
Regards, Klaus

SEM - BPS

Hi Folks,
I am thinking that going forward SEM-BPS will be part of BW and SEM will not have any BPS. Is this true? Can some one point me to the document which says about this. I need to present that document for the client.
Thanks in advance,
Trinadha

Trinadha,
please check the SAP Service Marketplace:

Performance concerns in upload flat file into SEM-BPS.

Hi,
we are using HOW-TO document to upload flatfile into SEM-BPS.
in the same exit function, we have a need to derive missing characteristic values from reference data.
So, we are reading reference data using API_SEMBPS_GETDATA.
upload is taking around 10 minutes in test systems. our concern is, if taking so long for test systems with less data , what about production time with more data?
from what all I can see is, most of the time is being consumed at reading reference data.
I'm dealing around 14000 records of reference data & around the same number of uploaded records. Initially, system status is, "number of cells to be formed : 33092" and then immediately after 5 seconds, status changes to, "formed cells : 33000" and this status stays for like 8 minutes.
I'm not using any input/output layouts but just exit planning function in the planning folder. So, I anticipate that above status is while reading reference data but not due to huge amounts of uploaded records.
When I ran the same exit funciton by commenting just the "reading reference data" code, upload function execution time came out as 2 minutes.
What is the best bet in dealing this scenario?
Usually, what is the best approch to read reference data / to derive missing characteristic values?
I couldn't able to use "Char Relationship using reference data" as it might not be suitable in my case. Even if suits, am missing enough documents/info/examples to deal "Char Relationship". Documentation on help.sap.com is not enough in this case.
PS: initially, when I tried to read 14000 records at detailed level, exit funciton returned no reference data & in the debugging mode, I could see a message "too many records".
Can a given layout read only a maximum of 9999 records / excel rows?
records are at CALMONTH level. As I don't need CALMONTH for derivation of characteristic values, I have deleted CALMONTH from " READ reference data" level to avoid the above message. Does this anyway relates to peformance?
Appreciate any help

Hello Hari,
it is touch to say what exactly causes this performance problem. Since you are dealing with custom coding (the how-to + your derivation logic), I suggest to do an ABAP trace (SE30) to see where the time is really spent.
The API call to read data should not take more than a few seconds. Test it separately by putting the API call into a simple ABAP program.
As Mary pointed out already, there's a 9999 line limit for layouts and therefore the GETDATA API as well.
Note: The file upload/download how-to solution was never meant for mass data loads. This needs to be done using regular BW functionality.

Create new BPS documents from "COPY DOCUMENTS" user exit.

Hi Gerd,
thank you so much for your reply.
I'm continuing other thread here. (Copy "document icon" to new sheet from "SEM-BPS 1" sheet)
 We've a layout that doesn't use macros. 
We'd like to attach a document for each line that is entered on this layout. All the document attribute characteristics are included in this layout.
Document contents & technical name can be any thing.
Should I be able to do this?
This ensures that users be able to edit documents on other layouts which is crucial.
I tested this For couple of lines and I was successful.
Before I'd like to start implementing this, I appreciate your inputs on the prcoess that I follow if this is an effective way of doing?
Any concerns from the performance side?
any other hidden issues/concerns that you might be familiar with?
1) I'm reading all document attribute characteristic values of the layout new lines from the user exit.
2) I've created one variable for each "document attribute characteristic"
3) I've created "COPY DOCUMENTS planning function" and included variables in the parameter group
4) user exit in step 1 fills all variables (fills only 1 value at a time) & passes to "COPY DOCUMENTS parameter group"
4) due to restriction of only single entry variables usage in
"COPY plannig funciton", I'm using "API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE" and executing "COPY DOCUMENTS planning funciton" as many times as number of new lines
5) if there are 6 new lines, user exit in step 1 loops 6 times & calls "API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE" 6 times which inturn executes "COPY DOCUMENTS planning funciton" 6 times
Am I on the right & effective path?
Is there any better approach?
Appreciate your inputs

Hi,
This is one way you can do that. The bad side of your implementation is that the planning function is called 6 times. It would be better to copy the coding of the planning function and modify it in such a way that you can do all of the steps in one go. If the performance is all right I would still leave it the way it is as then you do not have to change to coding.
Best regards,
Gerd

SEM BPS Audit trail/security

Hi guys,
I have just finished configuring SEM-BPS but my client wants an audit trail on all the transactions in the same component. We are using planning folders to enter plan data which sits on infocubes created in BW/BI. When a user enters plan data, we cant trace who entered or changed the data in the the infocubes as well as the planning folders. We therefore need an audit trail which will show the user who entered or changed any transaction data, as well as the date and time when the data was entered or changed, just like in the R/3 system.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Tatenda
