Tracing BPS Allocations in a Sequence ...

First off, I'd like to thank you for your contributions, and let you know that I found the discussions on this forum very informative.
I appreciate your taking the time to share your experiences
I'm working with a client who has been running allocations in R/3. Because of what they've seen in the ability to capture 'Detail Lists' in R/3, they expect 'similar' functionality in BPS
Hence, they expect to see the Sender, Receiver, Amount & Distribition basis for EVERY allocation stored in a way that they can literally step thru' every allocation step after the entire sequence is run ...
I'm aware of Trace in BPS, but I have seen that it only works when a single param gp is executed, & not in a sequence ... is that correct?
Is there any 'reasonable' way of recreating what is avlbl in standard SAP R/3 allocation (On TCOD KSU5 in R/3, there is a field that can be checked on the cycle execution screen that will create a 'Detail List' of each of the segments in the cycle and each of the senders/receivers within each segment. From this list, we are able to select the segment show how the senders or receivers performed)
FYI, I'm using the standard allocation function in 'distribution' mode.
I've considered introducing a GUID-like char into the Cube so that it carries a unique ID for the records changed in each Parameter Gp.
I'm not entirely clear if this is the best way, and what this means for the amt of FOX I'll have to write (currently, I'm using std functions, & I'd like to stick to it as far as possible) ... there are approx 600+ separate allocations, so it'll probably be a bit of a nightmare ;0), for me, to codify the rules, and for the client due to increased run-times ...
Is there any 'elegant' way of recreating the trace from the Basis Application Log (BAL* tables)? or is that not suggested?
Am I thinking straight? Are there other avenues within BPS that I shd consider?? Etc etc ...
Pls advise your thoughts.
Guidance greatly appreciated.

Anand,
You have to communicate to the client that the allocation function in BPS is NOT the same as the allocation functionality in R/3. Allocation functionality in R/3 is auditable and traceable and very detailed and you can see what had happened a long time later. Allocation planning function in BPS is just some standard function and the % and accounts are actually configureation.
If they want to have that functionality in BPS, someone has to configure it and that takes time (and money). When I explained that to my client, they decided to retract BPS planned primary costs back to R/3 and do the allocation run there. For SOX compliance, clients usually want the audit trail and to configure the audit trace in BPS is a lot of work...
If they insist in doing it in BPS with all the time and cost implications, you might want to look into an allocation driver cube - and the data modelling excercise or maybe use the distribution function in order to keep the original amount in a separate key figure but then you have to be very careful you do not mistakeningly left something double counted by incorrect configuration.
Hope this helps. Feel free to award points if this has proved helpful.

BPS Allocations User Exit

Hi Gurus,
I am new to the world of BPS and as being a developer I need to write User Exit for Allocations.
Is any one of you have developed User Exit for BPS Allocations? if any does, it would be great if you can pass the code, for User Exit BPS Allocations.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ravi,
What i have to is, I have to read one ODS table (a rule table ) which has key fields like allocation, start date and segment number and data fields like sequence number, rule, sender percentage,assessment / distribution rule, field group, version, sender cost center, sender cost element low and high, company code, receiver profit center, primary lc, sub lc, sub-region, controlling area and cost element.
Now for each sender cost center in ODS, i have to write BPS User Exit, that will determine net posted values for cost elements listed in ODS, by referencing postings made in BPS cost center planning area(PACCA) and updates is made to PACCA.. The amount field is there in the list of "Fields to be Changed" in the planning level where this Exit will trigger.
On Receiver side, receiver postings is based on referencing ODS sender cost center. Each receiver receives proportion of corresponding sender assessment amount (based on percentage) and this is posted to the specified value field to the specified receiver characteristics like sub-region, profit center, sub LC and/or LC which will be obtained from again ODS. The weighting that each receiver gets is determined by the exit referencing the dta in BPS COPA planning area (PAREVCOG) for specified plan version and value field (as listed in rules stored in ODS) and determining the weighting that each receiver should get. This updates will made to PAREVCOG.
Ravi, This is high level requirement.
Now, it would be great, if you have something similar or you can guide me how exactly I have to proceed step by step. I am really new to BPS so some sample code it would be great help.

BPS Allocation (BCS) using Debit/Credit (no balance available)

Hello,
BPS allocation seams to expect a balance instead of debit credit sign.
We are using debit and credit sign in Planning (0DB_CR_IND). This seams to be the reason why allocation can not be used in SAP standard. We would need to program an individual allocation program. Is this correct?
Lets make an example
Cost Center A
Credit: 50 Euro
should be allocated 100% to another cost center B.
Debit: 0 Euro
The allocation function would post the following
Cost Center A
Credit: -50 Euro
which is wrong, because the costs would disappear from Cost Center A
It would be necessary to post
Cost Center A
DEBIT: +50 Euro
Is there any possibility to use SAP standard to allocate with consideration of debit/credit sign?
If not we would create a temporally key figure, calculate the balance and then distribute with allocation. Afterwards we would post the distributed amounts back to the key figure with consideration of debit/credit sign. But this solution seams to be far away from SAP standard.
Does anyone have any comments?
Thanks in advance

EJB3 and Toplink pre-allocation size for Sequences

Hi,
How do I override the Toplink pre-allocation size for Sequences for a EJB3 Project?
My problem in detail:
I have a DB sequence which gets incremented by 1. I am using this sequence to generate primary keys for one of my tables. If I try to use the @GeneratedValue annotation for this primary key, then I am getting toplink validation exception 7027. I gather that this exception comes because the default pre-allocation size (increment-by value) is 50 for TopLink while DB uses 1. Now is there is any possiblity for me to override the default pre-allocation size for EJB3 project?
Currently I am leaving the primary key empty when I persist the entity and letting a DB trigger insert the sequence value into the DB.
thanks,
Chandru.

Chandru,
When defining a sequence generator in JPA you also have the ability to configure a preallocationSize that should match the DB sequence's increment.
Here is a simple example:
@Entity
@SequenceGenerator(name = "emp-seq", sequenceName = "EMP-SEQ", allocationSize = 1)
public class Employee implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "emp-seq")
    private int id;Doug

BPS allocation : assignments

Hi Experts,
I find it very hard to understand the terms used in BPS.
This is especially so when I do not have R/3 background.
In BPS allocation, I am unclear what is the meaning of assessment assignment. The book gives me an example of it as assessment account. But what is assessment account? What is there to assess?
Also, I hope you could help me understand about sender and receiver assignments . Why is there sender and why is there receiver.
And seems that assessment is the similar as distribution. Why so?
Hope you can help me. I have not been able to understand BPS for 1 year now.
regards
Michael.

Hi Michael,
Please refer to the below links for more details
Allocation
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/EN/17/9bbf392891711ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Note the Allocation function is Business Planning Function whereas Distribution is a standard planning function, more in the help links that are attached here
Distribution
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/EN/09/078a69016311d393850000e8a597a0/frameset.htm
when you read the text in Distribute function you would realise that there are examples also.
I would say that Top Down planning could involve Allocation or Distribute to allocate/distribute higher level figures to lower level entities. Depending upon your requirement you could decide which one to use.
hope it helps

BPS Allocation problem

Hi everybody, i'm warking with Netweaver BI 7.0 BPS module, and i have a problem with allocation function. i have to pass the value of a certain ratio between a sereie of charachteristics, and in the BPS 3.5 everithing goes well, but in Version 7.0 it gives me an error "generated data is not included in the selection condiction"
does anyone has an idea on why it does so?
thanx

Hi,
Try to execute the function with trace and see the final generated records for the characteristic value on which it is giving error. If it is out of your selections, then it may be one reason.

SEM-BPS: Transporting allocations

Hi,
I have used UPC_TRANSPORT_BPS_ALL to transport a planning function (Allocation) that contains several parameter groups. When going to target system I see the transported parameter groups but cannot process these. I get error message about missing consolidation methods. When I take a look at table e.g. ucf001c I see these parameter groups in source system but not in target system. This table is one of the consolidation methods. Does someone know is there any specific trick to transport planning functions for allocations?
Thanks!
Br

Hello,
I use for transport BPS0 instead or the report you have used.
I have developed Allocations (e. g. yesterday) and have transported it also. I had no problems, can execute it and I also had never these kind of error message.
One thing: Allocation is a BCS-Function and consolidation groups are BCS groups. I guess there must be something wrong in your system, because BPS allocation wants to check BCS customising, which does not make any sense here.

Tracing into remote sequences

Does anybody know, how it is possible (if it is ) to activate the tracing mode for a remote sequence running on another computer on the network? I already tried the tracing options on the menu, but this did not help :-\
I want to see the execution of the remote sequence on the controlling machine for presentation purpose (thats going to be held tomorrow by the way :-).
Thanks for your help
Oli
Programming languages don't create bad code, programmers create bad code....

Oli -
The tracing of a remote sequence is limited to the messages displayed at the bottom of the sequence editor window. Full tracing which is what you are asking for is not supported.

SEM Allocations - How do you make the Distribution work by Period not ***?

I have configured an SEM BPS Allocation function.
The function appears to work as expected except for the distribution values that are being used in the calculation. The distribution values being used are the cumulative total and not the period values.
E.G...........................................P1.............P2........Total
Sender
Sender Value............................100............200..........300
Distribution Ratio's
Receiver 1...................................1...............7............8
Receiver 2...................................2...............2............4
Receiver 3...................................7...............1............8
Expected Results
Receiver 1.................................10.............140........150
Receiver 2.................................20...............40..........60
Receiver 3.................................70...............20..........90
Actual Results
Receiver 1.................................40...............80........120
Receiver 2.................................20...............40..........60
Receiver 3.................................40...............80........120
Can anybody tell me what setting I am missing to tell the distribution to use period results rather than cumulative results?
Many thanks

In the planning level I am using fiscal year and posting period. The posting period was set to be periods 1 to 12.
In the setup of an assessment function there are 4 input areas:
Sender - where I am choosing a sender cost center and identifying a secondary cost element.
Receiver - where I am identifying the cost centers to receive the assessment and the same secondary cost element (to be the same as R/3 assessments).
Trigger - identifying the range of cost elements where the original costs are held on the sender.
Distribution - where I identify the statistical key figures where the values are held to calculate distribution ratios over the receiving cost centers.
I have attempted to insert posting period into the assessment structure, but have been getting a message that posting period is included in a higher method, which did not appear to be the case.
In reviewing this while answering your initial questions, posting period is now able to be input into the structure, and the assessment appears to be working.
Thank you for trying to help.
This appears to be one of those strange items where some previous configuration had not cleared in the relevant tables.

SAP BW SEM-BPS Variables

Hi All,
We are upgrading SAP BW SEM-BPS system from 2.0B to 6.O, in this process i need to collect some information as like below from tables,
like BPS Variables----- UPC_VAR ,
planning sequence----- UPC_PROFILE_BU
planning folder(Web)---- BPS_WB
planning folder(GUI)---UPSPM
BPS variable exit--UPC_VAR_EXIT
respectively, but these tables like UPC_VAR,UPC_PROFILE_BU etc are NOT there in my system ( SAP BW SEM-BPS 2.0B), So can anyone please suggest me alternative table name OR tell me where can I get aobve information like (BPS Variables, Planning Sequence etcc. ).
Thank you,

Hi,
I need to collect same information.
Will you share it.
Thanks,

Tracing enabled = variable updated to next iteration value before end of current iteration

Hello,
I am facing a weird behaviour with variables and loops. (running Teststand 2010 SP1)
I am iterating over a variable, when tracing is enabled that variable seem to take the value it should take at the next iteration too early.
What I am doing in pdeuso code :
For i=0;i<=20;i++
 For each variable in state
 Pass/Fail test on variable
 Wait 1 s
 Pass/Fail test on variable
 End
End
variable is a boolean
state is an array of boolean containing {false;true}
At each iteration of the inner loop I should get two identical results for the two pass/fail tests.
Something like :
Failed
Failed
Passed
Passed
Failed
Failed
Passed
Passed
But that's not the case and sometimes variable gets a new value between the first and the second tests !
Is there a way to avoid this issue without disabling the tracing and without changing the sequence ?

This should not be happening. Can you reproduce the problem in a simple sequence? If so can you attach such a sequence to this thread.
Most likely there is something else in the sequence that is leading to the issue you describe.

BAPI for product allocation Check gATP

Hi all,
I read in the SAP documentation that we can use gATP on APO to check order item coming from non R/3 OLTP on product allocations.
Is someone test it, which BAPI or BAdi do we use?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
Following enhancement is available for Product allocation.
Maintain Enhancement Projects for Product Allocation
In this IMG activity, you can edit customer exits for the global availability check.
Product allocations
The enhancement for the initialization is APOQT001 .
The user exits for product allocations are divided into two different call sequences:
Product allocations is the requirements check against the product allocation time series from planning. A complete check is executed for this call sequence.
The enhancements for product allocations are:
APOQT010 copy parameters
APOQT012 product allocations control
APOQT021 product allocations
APOQT022 consumption at beginning situation
APOQT023 order consumption
APOQT032 results control
APOQT033 sequence of product allocation procedures
APOQT007 product allocation assignment of partial deliveries
APOQT018 adjusting field catalog
The comparison adjusts the results of product allocations to the results of the other basic methods. This adjustment is necessary when product allocations is not the last basic method executed.
The enhancements for the comparison are:
APOQT011 copy parameters
APOQT014 product allocations control
APOQT024 consumption
APOQT034 results control
APOQT035 sequence of product allocation procedures
The sequence of the basic methods is configured in the check instructions.
When comparing, the entries in the table for the product allocation assignment and the temporary quantity assignments (delta records) are adjusted to the final results of the ATP check.
If the behavior of product allocations is changed by the user exits, the behavior of the comparison must be adapted accordingly in the corresponding user exits!
Thanks and Regards

Missing or invalid version of SQL library PSORA (200,0)

I am trying to configure App. Server on Vista laptop machine.
The machine name is VRGhati03.
It is a logical 3 tier archtecture. Its a EPM 9.0 Install. My database (PFDMO) is all configured and I am able to signon using a User ID VP1 and password VP1. My connect id is people with password of peop1e.
My access id is SYSADM.
I have created a user id in Oracle as VP1 and granted him the PSADMIN role .
When I try to boot up the App. Server it tells me ' Missing or invalid version of SQL Library PSORA' and 'Could not sign on to database PFDMO with user VP1'
The VP1 sign on works via SQLPLUS.
I also created a User Account of VP1 and tried to boot the appserver under that id but still no success.
I have gone thru some of the postings on this topic but they have not helped me. What am I doing wrong?
Below are the details of the log files, portion of my psappserv.cng file and the system environment variables.
Can somebody help. Thanks in advance

Slow running query after upgrading to Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hello
I had posted a query in Database Upgrade section , but all in vian as i have had no replies . So i am posing this in general section as i can now confirm with the exact query issue .
1. I upgraded my oracle instance windows 64 bit from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4
2. All is good except when i use SUM or MAX in queries i get a very slow performance below is the complete example
Your help is much appreciated .
Regards
Harshad
=====================================================================================================
Example.
=====================================================================================================The query runs on a single table of 275,000,000 records, partitioned by Feed_Id in 53 partitions:-
SELECT *
FROM Fact_Life
WHERE Life_Id = 11555269
AND Feed_Id = 2;
This returns 18 rows in sub-second response time.
Explain Plan for it:-
SELECT *
FROM Fact_Life
WHERE Life_Id = 11555269
AND Feed_Id = 2;
Statement Id=3 Type=INDEX
Cost=938 TimeStamp=11-06-09::11::25:55
(1) SELECT STATEMENT ALL_ROWS
Est. Rows: 66 Cost: 940
(4) PARTITION RANGE SINGLE
Est. Rows: 66 Cost: 940
(3) TABLE TABLE ACCESS BY GLOBAL INDEX ROWID RDS.FACT_LIFE [Analyzed]
Blocks: 2,765,931 Est. Rows: 66 of 275,979,985 Cost: 940
(2) INDEX INDEX SKIP SCAN RDS.PIX_FTLE_1 [Analyzed]
Est. Rows: 3 Cost: 938
However, when the query employs an aggregate function:-
SELECT MAX(Cap_Period_Id)
FROM Fact_Life
WHERE Life_Id = 11555269
AND Feed_Id = 2;
This takes anything from 200-400 seconds to return.
Explain plan for it:-
SELECT MAX(CAP_Period_Id)
FROM Fact_Life
WHERE Life_Id = 11555269
AND Feed_Id = 2;
Statement Id=3 Type=PARTITION RANGE
Cost=7 TimeStamp=11-06-09::11::26:50
(1) SELECT STATEMENT ALL_ROWS
Est. Rows: 1 Cost: 7
(5) SORT AGGREGATE
Est. Rows: 1
(4) FIRST ROW
Est. Rows: 66 Cost: 7
(3) PARTITION RANGE SINGLE
Est. Rows: 66 Cost: 7
(2) INDEX INDEX RANGE SCAN (MIN/MAX) RDS.PIX_FTLE_1 [Analyzed]
Est. Rows: 66 Cost: 7
However when the query is run with a different Life_Id for the same partition:-
SELECT MAX(Cap_Period_Id)
FROM Fact_Life
WHERE Life_Id = 11555275
AND Feed_Id = 2;
Returns sub-second.
Explain plan for it:-
SELECT MAX(CAP_Period_Id)
FROM Fact_Life
WHERE Life_Id = 11555275
AND Feed_Id = 2;
Statement Id=3 Type=PARTITION RANGE
Cost=7 TimeStamp=11-06-09::11::29:29
(1) SELECT STATEMENT ALL_ROWS
Est. Rows: 1 Cost: 7
(5) SORT AGGREGATE
Est. Rows: 1
(4) FIRST ROW
Est. Rows: 66 Cost: 7
(3) PARTITION RANGE SINGLE
Est. Rows: 66 Cost: 7
(2) INDEX INDEX RANGE SCAN (MIN/MAX) RDS.PIX_FTLE_1 [Analyzed]
Est. Rows: 66 Cost: 7
Is this a problem with b-tree indexes? The Life_Id is allocated from a sequence and there are 67,535,682 rows in the partition. The stats are up to date.

Hello Randolf,
Sorry for the late reply was down with flue and could not mail , as mentioned i below is the DDL for PIX_FTLE_1 & PIX_FTLE_2 . I have used TOAD to extract the script.
As i cant send the both the DDL in single post i will send it in 2 post , There is a limit of 30000 characters in sigle post .
