Hi Ark-
There is an excellent paper on how to load master data (including hierarchies) into BPC located at:
[https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/Enterprise%20Performance%20Management%20%28EPM%29%20How-to%20Guides|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/Enterprise%20Performance%20Management%20%28EPM%29%20How-to%20Guides]
The article is titled: "How Tou2026 Automate BPC 7.0, version for the NetWeaver Platform Master Data Loads from BW to BPC".
Planning and Forecasting are business processes. Planning implies a process that is invoked to predict future performance. More typically businesses use the terms Budgeting and Forecasting to describe how far out in time a prediction is made. Budgeting is a process that delivers at least a full future year of performance expectations. Forecasting is very similar to Budgeting forward looking view; however forecasting is typically focused on the current year's performance. Forecasting will typically combine some actual values with a projection of the balance of the current year's anticipated results. Each customer may call these activities by their own internal naming conventions.

Download file from AL11 into CSV to load MD into BPC

Hi All
I have an issue in downloading file from AL11 which is in the form of CSV.
1) I have exported the masterdata for Costcenter using a Open hub.
2) The file is residing at the app server AL11 in the form of CSV.
3) I want to down load the file into CSV and upload that file into BPC NW for my costcenter diemension.
When i am downloading the file from AL11 , the total records are merged into one row, i cannot download same as it is available in AL11.
I have followed the HOW TO GUIED : HOW TO AUTOMATE MD LOADING IN BPC nw.
I m unable to get the file properly on to my PC.
could you please help me .
AK

You should open your file in AL11, then clicking 'List' then 'Save' you'll be able to download your file. There will be some header lines indeed.
You'd better use an open hub with your local client as destination if you need the file.

Steps for loading data into the infocube in BI7, with dso in between

Dear All,
I am loading data into the infocube in BI7, with dso in between. By data flow looks like....
Top to bottom:
InfoCube (Customized)
Transformation
DSO (Customized)
Transformation
DataSource (Customized).
The mapping and everything else looks fine and data is also seen in the cube on the FULL Load.
But due to some minor error (i guess), i am unable to see the DELTA data in DSO, although it is loaded in DataSource through process chains.
Kindly advise me, where did i miss.
OR .. Step by step instructions for loading data into the infocube in BI7, with dso in between would be really helpful.
Regards,

Hi,
my first impulse would be to check if the DSO is set to "direct update". In this case there is no Delta possible, because the Change log is not maintained.
My second thought would be to check the DTP moving data between the DSO and the target cube. If this is set to full, you will not get a delta. It is only possible to create one DTP. So if you created one in FULL mode you can't switch to Delta. Just create the DTP in Delta mode.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Jürgen

Optimize the data load process into BPC Cubes on BW

Hello Gurus,
We like to know how to optimize the data load process and our scenario for this is that we have ECC Classic Ledger, and we are looking for the best way to load data into the BW Infocubes from an ECC source.
To complement the question above, from what tables the data must be extracted and then parsed to BW so the consolidation it´s done ? also, is there any other module that has to be considered from other modules like FI or EC-CS for this?
Best Regards,
Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,
Have you looked at the BW Business Content extractors available for the classic GL? If not, I suggest you take a look. BW business content provides all the business logic you will normally need to get data out of ECC and into BW for pretty much every ECC application component in existence: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/17/cdfb637ca5436fa07f1fdc0123aaf8/frameset.htm]

Selection for loading hierarchies into BW

Hi friends,
I have a hierarchy to be loaded into BW from R/3. I created an Infopackage and there is only one radiobutton for hierarchy. I refreshed the available hierarchy list but still, I get only one selection. I checked in RSA3 and there also, I have only one selection available. But, in R/3, I have many more hierarchies to be loaded. I have to get the remaining hierarchies in the available list. How can I get them into the available list? Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Subray Hegde.

Only the top node of a hierarchy is displayed within an infopackage.
Is it possible that your several hierarchies are actually lower level nodes of a higher-level hierarchy? For example, it is possible to have several cost element groups (hierarchies), which rollup to higher level nodes. It is only the top nodes which are available for extracting into BW.
Using the cost element example (sorry, but I'm not well-versed in Funds Mgt), in R/3, access t-code KAH3 to display cost element groups. After clicking the drop-down arrow, the system presents a dialog window which includes options of displaying "All nodes" and "Top nodes". Within a hierarchy infopackage for 0COSTELMNT, you should see one hierarchy available for each top node displayed in R/3.
Hope this helps.

Use of Open Hub Destination to load data into BPC

Hi Gurus,
I want to load the data from SAP BI to BPC (NW version), using Open Hub Destination. I want to know few things about this.
1) What method should I use? Should I use Destination as Flat Files or Database tables? If Database tables, how can I use this data in the tables in BPC?
2) If I go for Flat Files, which is saved in the application server of BI, how can I import those files to BPC and use it using Data Manager?
3) Also, in case of Flat Files, there are two files which are created. One is the control file and other one is the data file. How can I use both of them? Or can I just use data file without header?
Your replies will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Anjali,
I can use the standard data manager package from BI to BPC, if the CSV file is available in the BPC Server or in case if I am directly extracting from BW object, InfoObject or InfoCube.
But, since I will be using Open Hub, the output of this can be in a Database Table or a CSV file, preferably in SAP Application Server. In such cases, how can I use the Database table or CSV file in the standard Data Manager Package?
Thanks for your reply.
Abhishek

Loading hierarchies for 0GL_ACCOUNT InfoObject

Hi,
I cannot load hierarchies into 0GL_ACCOUNT InfoObject. I have created InfoPackage and in Update Data options I can only choose 'Only PSA' option. I have loaded attributes and texts without any problems. What should I do?
Regards,
Maciek

Hi Maciej,
Hope you had customized your 0GL_ACCOUNT hierarchy on R/3. Refer the below link

How to load hierarchies using process chains

Hi ,
Can any one please explain the steps for loading hierarchies using process chain.whenever i drag the hierarchy infopcakage Save variant is also coming by default,so do we need to have different SAve variant for different hierarchy infopackages or can we have one save variant for all the hierarchy variables.
Thanks,
Vaka

Hello Veka,
How r u ?
Yes ! SAVE Variant & Attribute Change Run will add up while loading the Hierarchy InfoPackage.
Provide the InfoObject Name for which u r loading the Hierarchy in the SAVE variant and SAVE it. The same will be transferred to the Attribute Change Run also.
If u r creating the Chain with more InfoPackages then have the Save Variant & Attribute Change Run at the last.
Best Regards....

BPC 7.5 NW Installation- Dump on UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT Load Data Into AppSet

Env: Win 2008 R2, SQL 2008. NW EHP2 702, BI_CONT 706,
After installing Apshell running UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT, I am now hitting a road block at "Load data into appset" step.
The st22 dump analysis is like this
"MESSAGE_TYPE_X" " "
"CL_RSDMD_UPDATE_MASTER_DATA===CP" or "CL_RSDMD_UPDATE_MASTER_DATA===CM00X"
"__CREATE_XY_IMAGES_PREPROC"
Couldn't find much on SMP or googling.
Anyone faced this issue before, any insights on how to resolve it.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks
Sreekanth

Hi Valerio
Thanks for your response.
As regards the BI_Cont 706, you will find more info the same note that you referred. The statement below from note 153967 suggests, NW 7.0 EHP1 & 2 are supported for
The following SAP NetWeaver Releases are pre-requisite for following BI Content Releases, that by definition are grouped into the same BI Content Release Sequence: BI Content 7.01; 7.02; 7.03; 704; 7. 05
1. SAP Netweaver 7.0 (including SAP NetWeaver EhP1 and EhP2):
The note also says :
SAP NW 7.0 BI Content Add-On 7.06 (BI_CONT 706)
delivered in July 2010.
SP1 is mandatory.
End of maintenance: The BI Content Add-on 7.06 will remain in maintenance until a new BI Content release is delivered or until the underlying SAP BW Release is no longer maintained.
BI Content Extension for BI Content 7.06 (BI_CONT_XT 706)
Delivered in June 2011.
SP1 is mandatory.
Prerequisite: EhP2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 AND SAP NW BI Content Add-on 7.06
End of maintenance: The BI Content Extension for BI Content 7.06 will remain in maintenance until a new BI Content release is delivered or until the underlying SAP BW Release is no longer maintained.
As regards the BPC pre-activity I have completed all pre-requisites mentioned in the BPC Inst guide, is there any other doc that I should check.
As for the client I have one client for BI (client 200) and another client for BPC (Client 100), I have activated RSA1 on client 200. I have created the Background user, assigned permissions, setup RSTPRFC, set default BW client BWMANDT etc.
How do I recreate the appshell, by running UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT ?
Should I reset anything ?
Appreciate your response.
many thanks

Loading of hierarchies in BPC 7.5 failing

Hi,
when trying to load hierarchies from an InfoObject (BPC 7.5) i get the following error message.
"No records are returned from <InfoObject Name>"
It's a warning. But as it says no data is returned.
The hierarchy is available and activated in the BI-Source-System.
Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks for closing the loop on your post.
By the way, I created a [How-to Guide|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/c02d0b47-3e54-2d10-0eb7-d722b633b72e] on loading BW master data into BPC 7.5 NW. If you are interested in the topic, check it out and give me your feedback.

How to load only BW text data into BPC 10.0

Hello,
I am trying to load BW text data into BPC 10.0 objects.
For BW InfoObject 0VERSION there is no attribute data (no P, Q, M tables) only text data (T table).
For BW InfoObject 0VERSION I created VERSION as Dimension in BPC 10.0 and it is not having any properties.
I created a Transformation file to load the data from 0VERSION of BW to VERSION of BPC and in the validation it is giving an error.
In the Validation it is giving error as '0VERSION is empty' but data is available in 0VERSION of BW.
Based on the error I am thinking that we cannot load only Text data from BW into BPC if they don't have any attribute data. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Is it possible to load only Text data without attributes from BW to BPC?
Can some one help me in loading the data?
Thanks in advance
Venkat

Hi Gersh,
Thank you for the reply.
I mapped Dimension ID to 0VERSION but still it is giving error.
In the validation it is saying as 0VERSION is empty but data is there in the BW system.
Please find the screen shot of the Transformation file and the error.
Thanks in advance
Venkat

Is a save step neccessary in a Process Chain when loading hierarchies with an ABAP program?

We are loading hierarchies using the ABAP routine found here in the SDN.
We have come accross the issue where the process chain loads successfully, but does not update the hierarchy (this problem is documented in the SDN). It is not a consistent issue, but it causes problems when it does occur.
OSS note 652856 points out that a SAVE HIERARCHY step is needed after the load and before the Change Attribute run.
We have added the step to the process chain, which leads me to the question.
In using the ABAP program to load hierarchies is the addition of the Save Hierarchy step necessary?
Will that resolve the issue with hierarchies not updating?

Hi Bill,
Yes, SAVE HIERARCHY step is required when hierarchies are loaded as part of process chain. This step ensures that the hierarchy data loaded to BW has been saved. Then we have to run ACR so that these hierarchies will be activated and adjusted.
This is the reason why even the hierarchy data loaded using infopackage needs this step. This step is not required if the Infopackage is triggered manually.
