CPM- Run Time variable

Hi SEM Gurus,
In CPM -BSC, there are two types of CPM variables, one is Design CPM variable which is used to define the char value at the time of designing the BSC and other is runtime (Presentation)CPM variable which can be used to pass the value of char at the runtime or executing the BSC. The problem is that The second variable ( Run time ) is not working i.e. in value field of measure designing we have to assign this created runtime cpm variable to char but we cant see this cpm variable while assigning this to char.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Could anybody will confirm that this is possible in BSC? basically this is possible in management cockpit and it must work in BSC but unfortunatly it is creating a problem for us.
Thanks/ hari

Hi Hari,
I'm now starting a BSC implementation and I'm facing the same issue. I created a CPM run time variable and I can't assign it in the BSC.
Did you find a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

SEM-CPM-MC: Creating CPM variables

Hi,
I know this is probably not the right place to post it, but I couldnt find a better place.
I trying to create a variable in SEM-CPM-MC, but no matter what I do, I'm only able to create a runtime variable with selection type P - Variable for single value. I can select the other values, but when I save the variable SAP automatically corrects it to Singe value again. I can also create a design variable with the other types, but not a runtime variable. How do I create a variable for which you can enter an interval?
In the documentation it also says, that you should be able to create variables on a frame level. I don't see any button where I can create a variable on a frame level. I've done exactly as it says on help.sap.com, but I don't have a button to create a new variable on a frame level. How do I do that?
Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded generously :o)
Thanks,
-J

hi Yaj,
yes, there are business content, sap measure catalog, measures, strategy tempates, bw infocubes, etc.
you can activate single or mass, go to sap measure catalog, e.g you can activate node 'financial measures' for mass activation or specific measure only under that catalog.
to activate infocubes etc, you can use rsa1(administrator workbench)->business content, detail steps see sap help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/80/1a66d5e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
CPM business content, see

Best practice in implementation of SEM-CPM

Is someone have the experiance of implementing SEM-CPM using best practice. and if so, does it reduces implementation time?

We should be able to adopt the best pratices when the software finally gets integrated into netweaver.

I Have created in this way:
Variable Type: Variable for Char.Value

Replacement Type: Variable for Presentation
Selection Type: Variable for a single interval of value
The problem is that after i saved it, the selection type changes automatically to :"Variable for a single value"
Can anybody knows how can i create a variable with interval ?
THANKS

Hi,
You can not create this. I don't know why. I found the same problem a year ago.

SAP - SEM-CPM (cockpit)

Hi all,
I have implemmented a SEM-CPM system in my company, what ussually was done in a 25 queries, now is done in a cockpit, but it lasts too much (around 8hours), and every user that wants to access to it, has to wait this time. Is there any way to keep these results for different users and sessions?
I know that it can be calculated evry logic view independiently, but I would like to execute every one at the same time, and keep this data for different ussers and sessions, so they can navigate throught a past calculation of results, and refresh these results as wanted. Is this posible?

Someone has suggested me "information Broadcasting".
But Information broadcasting is typically used to publish and persist reports for multiple users. Can this also be applied to SEM-CPM's results for the frames?
PLease, help me, it is quite important.
Thanks in Advance.

Time Variable in Container Operation in BPM

hi,
how can we add a time variable in container operation in BPM?
Say i want to increment the time upto 5 hours and see if it has reached in my loop.
how can we achieve this?
Tiru

henrique -
I have a block with a timeout defined.
Within the block i have the deadline with control step which triggers the exception
I have the exception handler which has a send step which sends the actual error message.
I have a send step which polls the http receiver and is in a infinite loop.
Now the first time i receive an error message i get an email which is good and should work that way.
Next time if it errors out it should continue until a deadline of 8 hours and then should send out an error email.
What happens is i get the second error message immediately without the deadline getting exceeded.
When i look at the workflow log the exception handler gets executed but i don't see a sign of the deadline getting executed?
Any reasons why its behaving this way?
Thanks,
Tiru

SEM-CPM Activating Strategy Template

Hello All
After activating a Strategy Template in SEM-CPM version 6 transaction UMB_ST_VIEW when viewing the result in the Measure Catalog I have greyed out Business Content Measures showing they are active but the activated measures do not beolong to a measure catalog. The system wont allow me to assign them to my own personal catalog and I cannot deactivate them to allow drag and drop. Can anyone please help me with this problem.
Thanks

hi
Balanced Score Card has to be configured as follows:
First You have to Define Strategy
For Example Strategy : Revenue Growth
For this particular strategy u can have 4 perspectives
1. Financial Perspective
2. Customers Perspective
3. Internal Process
4. Learning & Growth
For Financial Perspective: You can have different Objectivees
eg for objectives:1. New Revenue Sources
2. Increase Profitablilty thru Premium Brands
Next For each objective u can have measures and initiatives
For eg: for increase Profitablity thru Premium Brands
Measures: Profit, Revenues
Initiatives: Allocate Budget For Advertisement , Promotinal Activity etc.
So Overall the sequence will be First : Strategy
and For Each Strategy u will have different Perspectives and for each perspective different objectives and for each objectives u will assign different measures and initiatives.
Objective will pertain to repective perspective only.
For each initiative u hv to assign respective incharge and budget to be alloted.
Next u hv to create value fields and assign Actual, Plan and Target values
For score calculation u need to define Formula: and select the formula id for eg: a/b
and give a=actual and b=plan then u hv to assign table
next u hv to select graphics also
then u sav ur BSC.
if u hv still hav any queries u can contact

Connect more than 1 external BI in SEM-CPM-BSC or SEM-CPM-MC

Hello,
I have seen the help.sap.com that helps me how to put a defined BI (but only one BI).
Design -> Default BW System
Design -> Access to SAP BW
Design -> RFC Destination for Project System
But what we have is 3 BI systems. Each one with one module (HHRR, FI, SD). We want to join those BI modules into the SEM CPM. But I don't see how to put those 3 external BI in my CPM.
Please help me...
Best Regards...
Pablo Mortera.

There're several ways:
1.- Create remote Cubes where you get your queries. Then once the SEM system you will have a Cube that really is a "remote" cube in another system. This will also help by creating a MultiCube, related to the cubes created before...this way you have a big datamart (really a knowledge mart;-) ) that has all of the data/information related in one view.
2.- In the local BW system, you may create local InfoProviders that are being fed by remote BW systems as InfoSources. (You'll have to create the InfoSources and copy the data loads in the local BW System)
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Web Cockpit developent (SEM-CPM or VC or something else)

This question is intended for SAP Development team or Product management team. We are looking to make a strategic decision about the tool set to build BI Cockpit on the Web.
SAP has competing technologies, which can deliver the cockpit on the web and as a customer we need to make a choice that is right for at least next 3-5 years. We do not want to develop the cockpit using the technology that is not moving ahead with SAP development.
Our current environment: BW 3.5, EP 5.0 system. Plan to upgrade EP 6.0 in next 3 month.
As per my understanding, following are the tools that can be used for development of web cockpit.
1) Web Application Designer with or without any Java scripting.
2) SEM-CPM (Corporate Performance Monitor).
3) BSP (Business Server Pages) /HTMLB -
4) Visual Composer with EP.
Customers business team has seen SEM-CPM and inclined to use that. As a IT team we want to choice the right tool set.
Following are my questions:
1) SEM-CPM: Does it have good foot print at SAP Customer base? Is it good tool to develop the Cockpits as primary tool set? Is SAP developing this technology in the future? I have not seen any updated white paper or documentations in service.sap.com after 2003.
OR
2) Visual composer is the right tool. Visual composer allows the BW and Non BW Data presentation. For our purpose, all data will be in BW and BW queries will be the only source for the cockpit.
As IT team, we want to avoid using Java Script or other programming process because of the support & maintenance issues involve.
Please help and provide comment or suggestions.

Hi,
SEM-CPM is not a very flexible tool. We have to live with its limitations. We cannot customise to suit client needs. There are limitations in chart types also. If customer uses excel based charts for metrics currently, check whether they are possible thro' CPM. Please also check the latest version of SEM-CPM.
I would request to considering other alternatives as suggested ike Web cockpit based on Web Application Designer with or without any Java scripting.likes or BSP (Business Server Pages) /HTMLB or VC (not worked on this).

SEM CPM BSC Value Field with AGGREGATION is working wrong

Hi everyone
We have a balanced scorecard defined and working fine until now.
Since a week, the value fields with "aggregation" (accummulated each month) is showing the correct value for the periods 2 -12, but the Period 1 is showing the value of the last period. For example:
ValueField 1: Is a value field common
ValueField 2: Is with aggregation (accummulated).
                     January February March
Value Field 1: 10           20          30
Value Field 2 : 60          30          60
(with Aggregation)
As you can see, the first period is the same as the last period using aggregation.
I have checked the time variables, and the value fields and everything looks ok.
Can anyone help me in order to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't know if the solution is as easy for you but :
I did have the same problem with my frames... the problem was that (in the web version) after having selected a value, I had to click on the "V" on the bottom-right of the screen to update the graph according to my selection.
I hope it helps.
