SSRS with BPC Cube?

Is it possible to create SSRS reports against a BPC cube? If so, can someone direct me to a source that can tell me how to pull in dimension properties? Would this be part of the MDX command or something else?

Hi Christine,
not sure I've understand what you ask. If you want to update automatically a dimension then yes there are several examples,
in Webfolders\ApShell\Planning\DataManager\PackageFiles\Examples\Admin_MakeDim.dtsx you have an example
Automating Master Data (Dimension) Load in BPC MS 10

Design studio with BPC

Hello Experts,
How can I connect Design Studio with BPC cubes. I am Using DS version 1.3
I need to create Design studio with BPC data.
Gone through some documents but couldn't find out the way to do this.
Regards,
LKumar

Hi Kumar,
I have implemented a design studio on top of a BPC model by enabling the "use a source of data" in the BPC Admin website - it creates a multiprovider (name /CPMB/xxx) and we can then create bex queries on top of it with some limitations (no currency convertion by eg.).
Design studio is managing this query as a standard BEX query - Only to display data ...
Regards,
Thomas
PS: Please pay attention with multiple systems as BPC objects can have different names when transported (attributes). All references of BPC objects in Design studio would be then incorrect.

Problem with SSAS cube reporting action when using pivot filter with cubevalue function

Hi everyone,
I have a quite specific problem when I combine cube actions (Reporting Action SSRS) with Excel's cubevalue() function.
The problem is when I use a pivot filter as a parameter for the cubevalue() function. The action item does not show up in the context menue.
The cube action works fine when I do it from a "normal" pivot or if I use the cubevalue() function without the reference to a pivot filter (all the parameters in the function are "hard-coded").
I use SSAS 2012 and Excel 2010.
Thanks for yor help.
Gerhard

Hi everyone,
I actually figured out a way to solve this problem. I had to use a detour to solve this bug in Excel (at least I think it's a bug).
What I needed to do: I had to make Excel belive that the filter is actuall hard-coded and does not come from a pivot filter. This was only possible by adding a new calculated measure to the cube that gives back the MEMBER_Unique_Name to the current member
passed. This "value" can then be used to go back to the cube and select the cubemember function. Here is a small example.
This is the cube member:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey] AS
[Company Branch].[Reg - Comp - Bran Name].CurrentMember.Properties("MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME", TYPED),
VISIBLE = 0 ;
And this is then done in a hidden Excel cell:
=CUBEMEMBER("Metrics";
IF(RIGHT(CUBEVALUE("Metrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]");5)="[ALL]";"[ALL]";
RIGHT(CUBEVALUE("Metrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]");LEN(CUBEVALUE("GlobalMetrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]"))-57)
I had to use the UniqueName property because I have a combined filter. That's also the reason for this truncation and also useing the last part of it. If you just have a straight key you more easily use it.

Sql 2005 standard edition for sql and AS databases with bpc 7.0 sp3 ?

hello
Install guide tells that we must use SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition with BPC except for Reporting Services.
Customer asks wether he could use SQL 2005 Standard Edition for SQL database and Analysis Services ?
Thanks.

Hello Sorin. Two more questions, please:
1) what do you mean by "Also into Application server you need EE because only in this version you have control flow." ?
Is "control flow" "business process flow" new functionality ?
2) On the other hand, I don't think that BPC admin task is able to handle lite or full optimize without an Enterprise Edition Client.
But customer asks wether it is possible to install on application server
- SSIS standard edition for SSIS service
- SSRS standard edition for Reporting Services
- SQL client Enterprise Edition to let BPC admin task handle lite and full optimize properly.
Why all this ? Because Enterprise Edition costs ten times more than Standard Edition and in a multi-server configuration, customer has to buy several SQL Server licenses, one per server running at least one SQL server service. (For example, with SQL,SSIS and OLAP on one server, and SSIS and SSRS running on the application server, customer has to buy two SQL servers licenses).
Thanks. R.

Import Transaction Data from BW Cube to BPC Cube

Hi,
Is there any document that explain how i can import/copy transactional data from bw cube to bpc cube like this below pic. http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/6998/prof.jpg
Thanks in advance.

Hi Again,
With these documents I can import transactional data with a single keyfigure but if there are more than one keyfigure, importing and assigning keyfigures to dimensions might get confusing.
For example i have two keyfigures "zbgstsad" and "zbgstsf" in bw cube and I have two account member in "S_ACCT": "S_F", "S_A". I did a conversion file with "zbgstsad(ext)->s_a(int)" and "zbgstsf(ext)->s_f(int)" rows. But i am not sure what i have to put instead of "?".

How to reduce the run time of ABAP code (BADI) when it is reading huge data from BPC Cube and thus writing back huge data to the cube.

Hi All ,
In Case of reading huge amount of record from BPC Cube from BADI code , performing calculations and writing back huge amount of data into the cube , It takes lot of time . If there is any suggestion to read the data from Cube or writing data into the cube using some Parallel Processing methods , Then Please suggest .

Hi Gersh ,
If we have a specific server say 10.10.10.10 (abc.co.in) on which we are working, Then under RZ12 we make the following entry as :
LOGON GROUP          INSTANCE
parallel_generators        abc.co.in_10         ( Lets assume : The instance number is 10 )
Now in SM59 under ABAP Connections , I am giving the following technical settings:
TARGET HOST          abc.co.in
IP address                  10.10.10.10
Instance number          10
Now if we have a scenario of load balancing servers with following server details (with all servers on different instance numbers ) :
10.10.10.11
10.10.10.13
10.1010.10
10.10.10.15
In this case how can we make the RZ12 settings and SM59 settings such that we don't have to hardcode any IP Address.
If the request is redirected to 10.10.10.11 and not to 10.10.10.10 , in that case how will the settings be.
I have raised this question on the below thread :
How to configure RZ12 and SM59 ABAP connection settings when we have work with Load Balancing servers rather than a specific server .

Reporting off BPC Cube in HANA using BOBJ Tools

Hi,
I have a customer who is on BPC NW on HANA. Customer has BPC cube exposed in HANA, We need to do some reporting on that BPC HANA views with the ability to drill down to the hierarchies. Is there a BOBJ tool which would allow the cutomer to:
1) Drill down on the G/L level
2) Mobile compatible
3) Have access to BPC built in logic/metadata
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I found the following presentation,

Automate data load from BPC cube to BW cube

Hi Gurus,
I've got all my budgeting & forecasting data in BPC cube. Now I need to load it to a BW cube and combine with Actuals in another BW cube through Multiprovider and build reports on the multiprovider.
My question is:
What is the best way to automate the loading process of BPC cube data to BW cube ??
I should also be able to load the property values of BPC dimensions to the BW info objects.
The methods I followed are:
1. Run "Export" data package and load BPC data to a CSV file and run BW DTP/infopackage to process the CSV file into BW cube. Problem with this is - I canot automate these two steps, and even if I did, I cannot export property values to a flat file.
2. Build transformations directly from BPC cube to an Infosource and from Infosource to BW cube. Problem with this is - in the transformations I cannot use the rule: "Read Master Data". I may have to write a routine, but my ABAP is not good enuf.
Please help with an alternative solution
Thanks,
Venkat

Thanks for the reply. I know I will have more options if I'm BPC 7.5 NW. But I'm on BPC 7.0 NW.
I managed to pull the attribute values of BPC dimensions using routines. But still it's risky because the tech names of BPC objects may change if one modifies the dimensions or run optimization.
It's a shame SAP haven't provided a robust solution to load BPC cube data to BW cube data.
I don't want to load BW cube data to BPC cube and depend on EVDRE reports for my 'Plan vs Actual' reports. I (and end users) always want to lean towards BEx reports.

Badi: move data from bpc cube to bw cube

Transformation file errors(bpc cube to bpc cube)

Hi friends,
I'm trying to load bpc cube data to other bpc cube. Created transformation file with following options & mapping sections.
Simply i've to move from cube A to cube B(A, B are internally created transaction cube when creating BPC applications)
Cube A having around 12 dims and cube B having 7 dims. In mapping i mentioned only 7 dims because target is having 7 dims.
I think it not required to mention about other dimension in A.
*OPTIONS

SKIP = 0

*CONVERSION
When i tried to validate and process transformation, system telling "Errors occured while loading data from other cube".
Do i add any other things/options?
thanks,

Hi Naresh,
If you have more Dimensions in the source cube than in the target, INFOPROVIDER load is not a good idea. My understanding is that is such case you'll have to find a way to skip dimensions that are not loaded.
Therefore *DESTINATION_APP or BADI DEST_APP are your best options. Basically, if you need any transformation/calculations than use *DESTINATION_APP; if it's just straight aggregation BADI will do it.
How many records do you have to load? How much time do you expect that load will take? If it takes more than 20 minutes take a look at my blog "Improve performance of your BPC scripts" http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/21214.

Data manager option to Append or Add NW Infocube values to BPC CUBE.

HI ,
Merge and Replace optios are just to replace old values with new values. but my requirement is to add new values to old values. Data is available in BW infocube and we need to add values to BPC cube . please suggest is there any option i can use in data manager.
thanks,
Bala.

Hi,
Currently, the append option is not available while loading the BW data to BPC.
The option I see is to extract the BW data to a flat file and then upload this file in the append mode.
Hope this helps.

Dispaly attribute not available in universe on top of BPC cube

Hi,
I have created a universe on top of a BPC cube.
The cube has a dimension object which has display attributes associated with it.
In the universe, dimension objects are automatically created for the dimensions. But no detail object has been created for the display attributes.
Is there any way to make the display attributes available for reporting ?
Thanks and Regards,
PASG

By having BEx queries on BPC cubes, I thought the revenue will be negative for example and balance sheet items will be double counted over time. I am not sure if SAP is officially supporting this BEx on BPC cubes ?
When I get data from Legacy systems into BW cubes, I would like to validate( and raise exceptions if required) the imported transactional data. Any other way to accomplish these with BEx queries on BPC cubes ?

Outline sync with 4 cubes or partition help req

Hi,
I have three huge cube's, two cubes abt 90 gb (BSO) for TY & LY data, weekly refresh with hierarchy and data on third cube (ASO). all there cubes are transparent partitioned to fourth cube.
I have the same hirarchy in these three cubes and couple of other cubes. so is there a way to update the hierarchy on one single cube and sync with other cubes.
please suggest me any solution .......
I was thinking for replication partition and only sync outline is it possible?
Edited by: user10722265 on Oct 21, 2009 9:27 PM

Thanks Srinivas,
yep you are correct, in regards to my questions.
I mean you are saying to copy outline from one BSO cube to other cubes manually.or Is there any maxl command to copy outline form one cube to other.
considering the size of the cubes, i'm planning to split the cube in to multiple, each line of buinsess (front end cube) will have there own cube instead of all users loging to one cube.
so what i want is to maintain all hierarchy's on one cube. Then partition the dimensions pertaining to that cube only.
what i mean is only portion of dimension will go to one cube and other portion to another cube.
store (7)
->regions (12)
-->subregions (190)
I want 7 regions to one cube and another 5 regions to other cube.
update hierarchy on one cube and sync to other cubes theough replication partition or other ways........i want only heirarchy sync ...........no data sync from source to target cube.
thanks for reply srinivas
Thanks

Service Not Available error with SSAS cube

Hi,
We imported Microsoft Analysis Services (SSAS) Cube into RPD using XMLA. While using the drill down feature in BI answers using presentation hierarchies, OBIEE is generating the following error
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: URL: http://<server>/<app name>/msmdpump.dll. The http return status is 503.< html><head><title>Service Not Available</title></head><body>Service Not Available</body></html>
However, drill down feature is working fine with attribute columns. Also the report is working fine up to certain level of drill down. In the log it is evident that OBIEE is generating multiple physical queries (with clause) to pull the data from the cube.
Is there any limit on the size of the mdx or number of mdx queries that msmdpump.dll can process? Is there any configuration that needs to be modified while working with SSAS cubes?
OBIEE version: 11.1.1.6.2 BP1
Much appreciate your time.

Hi Dhar,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, your observation is correct. Changing the type of the hierarchies has some effect on the issue. I'm able to drill down to few more levels as the MDX generated by OBIEE in this less complex. But ultimately I'm facing the same issue after certain stage. I can only think of, the number of physical queries generated by OBIEE, as one of the possible reason for this. What is your opinion?
Interestingly, I tested the same RPD in 11.1.1.6.5 and I'm unable to reproduce in the issue so far in my testing . Is it a bug in 11.1.1.6.2?! However, upgrading to 11.1.1.6.5 is not an option for us at this stage.
Were you able to resolve the issue completely by only changing the hierarchy type? What version you have used in you project?
Thanks.

Number of records in BPC Cube

Dear Friends,
I am working in EPM10 NW/BW 7.31.
I just want to know how can I find number of records in BPC cube from the back end (i.e using T-Code RSA1)
As I am not a BW expert, any simple suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
The way I do it is right click on the cube, then display data.
goto the bottom section of the menu where you see the following:
tick output number of hits
also change the max no, of hits to a high number
then run
in the output screen you sum up the first column, it will give you the total number of records in the cube
