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
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = NO
DELIMITER = ,
AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = .
SKIP = 0
SKIPIF =
VALIDATERECORDS=YES
CREDITPOSITIVE=YES
MAXREJECTCOUNT=
ROUNDAMOUNT=
SELECTION=Time,2009.JUL;Category,10
*MAPPING (Target dim = source dim)
ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT
Category=Category
Entity=Entity
InputCurrency=InputCurrency
LOB=LOB
Time=Time
CIRCLE=CIRCLE
*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.

Hi Sam,
Can you provide a little more detail what you mean by "Looks like your source data for measure(Signedata) field is in vracht type indted of numeric and it dose not have way to convert"?   There is only numerical data in my signed data column.
Here is a sample of the data I am trying to load. I am not sure if that will help.

Not able to create New Transformation file in BPC

I am getting error in BPC 10.0 when creating new transformation file from the EPM tab in Excel.
When i click on create New transformation then some garbage value appear on the Excel cells. Problem with Authorization is not the case as i have checked all the authorizations in BI and BPC.
Attached is the screen shot of the same.

Hello Nidheesh,
Can you check in UJFS Tcode whether you have file named newconversiontable.xlt and newtransformation.xlt in \ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\ADMINTEMPLATES.
Also can you check the Language settings of yours in Excel Option

Script Logic VS Data Transformation File

Hi all,
   I'm new to SAP BPC. I have knowledge of SAP BW.
   I can see conversion file, which we are referring in data transformation file. which we can use for mapping and conversion of external data into internal data.
How data transformation file different form script logic? Are we going to refer script logis in Data transformation file for each required dimension?
Can any of you give me clarity on how to place script logic and data transformation file in BPC data management flow.
I will really applicate all your help!!!
Thanks
Ben.

Nilanjan,
   I have a another quick question...
suppose my bpc application has 5 dimensions. Out of the 5 dimensions, 4 dimensions data i'm getting directly from SAP BW. assume 1 dim, i need to extract by doing look up at different table which also reside in BW.
   how to populate data for DIM 5.
   I got your point that data transformation file purely for field mapping. suppose DIM5 if i want to populate from script logic, wht do i need map in Transformation file. I hope you got my point.
   My question if how to populate a DIM in BPC using lookup approach.
Thanks,
Ben.

Transformation File - Syntax

While loading the data in to BPC from BW i want to load the addition of the months ,how to achieve this using the Transformation file in BPC
say for same dimension below the new amount should be additions
jan=jan
feb=jan+feb
march=Janfebmarch
April=Janfebmarch+april
Dec = Janfeb....Dec
account Month   oldamt new Amt
1234      Jan     100      100
1234      Feb     200      300
1234      Mar     300      600
Thanks

Hi,
Is it a requirement for the reporting? If yes, then this can be achieved by displaying the YTD figures in the report.
In the other case, you might want to use a script logic to calculate this.
Hope this helps.

Load infoprovider in 2 steps (2 transformation files) - BPC 10.0

Hi Masters,
For your better understanding, the background of this issue is that I currently have the planning solution configured and in use in BPC 7.50, in another
server, and on it I have the same ACTUAL uploading process from our legacy system (SIG) working just perfectly.
PS: The process chain to load transaction data from BW infoprovider using 2 transformation files was configured by SAP consulting, since this was a project made by SAP consulting.
So, I am migrating the solution to BPC 10.0, and is better to say "reconfiguring" the solution to BPC 10.0. I just recriated the transformations and convertion files, the process chain (and all its custom variants) and the data package. But in the new configuration, I am unfortunately facing this problem whlie executing the Process Chain.

    2. Error
    3. Variant Configuration (ZGIF_INFOPROVIDER_CONVERT2)
    4 . Error Package
So, what I need is to understand if there was any change between BPC 7.50 and BPC 10.0 (regarding this custom variants), that is preventing the new configuration to work as it should, or better saying, as I already have working in BPC 7.50.
I checked already the variants configurations and the Data Package Script, to certify that everything is correct, and it seems perfect!
The strange thing is that the process chain executes the first Convert (ZGIF_INFOPROVIDER_CONVERT1) with no problem, and it is exactly the same configuration as the second Convert.
    5. Variant Configuration (ZGIF_INFOPROVIDER_CONVERT1)
Should I use other variant between the first Load and the second Convert?
I hope you guys can help me to solve this question.
PS: The transformation files are attached to this message.
Thanks in advance!
Adriano Frossard
São Paulo - Brazil

Hello Adriano,
I have small question here,
are you automate the entire process...?
if manually running the data manager package, is it successful or abort...?
As far as I know variant comes into picture while automating the process only...
recently we also face the same issue, while automating the process at that time we use RFC system name, unfortunately the user doesn't have required access to perform the task. while doing it manually its successful but throwing an error while running from back end...
In this case the problem with variant so the transformation file doesn't throw any error , its show the validation is successful..
Please check the variant is available or not...
if possible can you please share the log abort DM package...
Regards,
SRG...

Hi,
You cannot send the duplicated with the standard import package. You need to create or add a new package and link to /CPMB/APPEND process chain and do the import. This would consider the duplicate entries also. It looks like you need somehow load all the records including the duplicate ones.
So on excel go to Manage Data -> Maintain Data management -> organize package list and add a new package and link to the standard BPC process chain /CPMB/APPEND.
Thanks,

BPC 10 MS Transformation format error using *MVAL with no Rejected items

I'm a bit perplexed, but maybe I'm being too ambitious. I am trying to combine a year field from a column in my data file with 12 data columns for each month of that year using *MVAL to pick up those columns. Basically I want to pull from the file with a result like 2014P1 and then use a Time conversion to make it 2014.OCT.
I have found that the Mapping statement *Col(1)+*MVAL(25:36) does not work, but reversing it does, i.e. *MVAL(25:36)+*Col(1). This brings the small problem in the conversion file of making P1* convert for both P1 and P10, so to solve this I added +*Str(.) in the middle of the mapping statement. This brings results like P1.2014 and P10.2014 to be converted in the conversion file.
After several attempts the conversion I ended up with is:
EXTERNAL P1.* : INTERNAL *.OCT
EXTERNAL P2.* : INTERNAL *.NOV etc etc to P12
When validating the Transformation file it returns the error:
Input string was not in a correct format
Validation with data file failed
[The conversion file validated and processed with no problems, even with some VB added to reduce the year by 1 in the first three Periods.]
The strange thing is that the Rejected List is not greyed out, but it is completely empty - usually this error generates some rejected items that you can then learn from and revise your mappings or conversions.
If I change the conversion to repeat the * after the month, *.OCT*, then I do get rejections that correctly tell me that the conversion does not match my time id's. I see 2014.OCT2014 in the rejected items. This confirms that the correct part is being picked up by the conversion *.OCT, but that for some reason it is not accepted.
Running this for an Import in Data Manager also fails - this is not a bug in the transformation validation routine.
So, my questions are:
- am I doing something obviously wrong? or
- am I being too ambitious with *MVAL? or
- should this work, so that a dynamic conversion for any year can be set up - in other words is this a bug?
We are running BPC v10 MS SP12 with EPM SP16. I attach my Transformation file and the Time conversion.
Thanks
Chris

I was much delayed in testing this due to other issues, but an opportunity came up last week when building a new environment. This time the column headings were needed for the 12 data columns (12 months Oct to Sep with 3 letters) which meant I could try adding the year as a *Str() function in the mapping before the *MVAL statement.
The result was that it still failed but with another error:
Index was outside the bounds of the array.
I abandoned due to time and built a specific conversion file for the months. Each time I load some historic data I have to edit this to put in the correct years. I keep these lists pasted on the right of the formula column for easy reference.
One odd thing that we still find consistently since SP12 is that the last column header is always missed. To get around this we often add an extra blank column to the input files or in this case I added P12 to my conversion file so that the data was picked up. This is inconvenient.
It would be good to be able to pick up a year from a column in the data or to add it with the *Str() function before the *MVAL statement.
I have still to try Astha's proposal below. Next time!
Thanks
Chris.

Amount Conversion File error using VALUE keyword in BPC 7.5M

Hi Experts,
We just migrate from BPC 7.0M to BPC 7.5M. We also change the server to multi-server arquitecture 64-bit (Application server and BD Server).
When we try to Import or Validate Transformation File with Amount conversion file using VALUE keyword, the system returns: "Error: Validate with data file failed". The content of conversion file columns:
EXTERNAL= *
INTERNAL= *
FORMULA = VALUE*0.001
At first, we thogut that was a problem with 0.001 but we tried diferent formulas with the same error:
FORMULA = VALUE*1
FORMULA = VALUE*2
FORMULA = 0.001*VALUE
We also tried to use VALUE keyword with case sensitive and the result was the same. And when we don't use VALUE keyword the validation is OK.
Any idea? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Albert

The conversion file AMOUNT_TEST.XLS has only one line. With this conversion we want to change value from u20AC to Ku20AC.
You should think that we used these transformation and conversion files in BPC 7.0M and it works fine.
I'd like to remember that if we don't use AMOUNT_TEST.XLS or delete VALUE keyword, these transformation file works fine too.
nilanjan, I tried to validate data file with one record and the system show me the same error.
Roberto, our first migration was from BPC 7.0M to BPC 7.5M SP3, but we didn't test it. Then we apply SP7 because to solve other issues, and when we try to validate data load we detect that issue.
Thank you for your help, I hope we can solve that problem soon.

BPC 7.5 NW SP5 - Question regarding Transformation file for exporting data

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to export data from a BPC application to App.server/UJFS. There are currently 13 dimensions in the application. The user requires the output file to contain only three dimensions followed by the amount(signdata), namely
| COSTCENTER | ACCOUNT | TIME | AMOUNT |.
How do i handle the same in transformation file?
Currently i am using the following transformation file but i am having issues validating it.
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
OUTPUTHEADER=*COSTCENTER,ACCOUNT,TIME, PERIODIC
DELIMITER = ,
AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = .
SKIP = 0
SKIPIF =
VALIDATERECORDS=NO
CREDITPOSITIVE=YES
MAXREJECTCOUNT=
ROUNDAMOUNT=
*MAPPING
COSTCENTER=*COL(2)
ACCOUNT=*COL(4)
TIME=*COL(13)
AMOUNT=*COL(14)
I tried to remove the OUTPUTHEADER from *options and tried but it still gives the same issue.
Please help me as to how i can handle this scenario.
Thanks,
Victor

The 'Export' data package which comes as part of a support pack enhancement does not support using Transformation/Conversion files to modify data prior to transport.
Please refer to section 3 (Limitations) in the below how to guide.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Hence your only option is to manually massage data in the spreadsheet after exporting.

Formula in transformation file to remove trailing zeroes,BPC 7.5 NW

Hi Experts,
I have implemented automation of master data from BW info object to BPC dimension.
I have few issues with the transformation file. employee percentage in BW is of type number and has lenght of 17.
In BW 0EMPLPCT holds the value as 100,000 , 75,000 but when i send to BPC dimension the values are sent as 100,00000
Emp percentage is maintained as below in the transformation file.
EMP_PC=0EMPLPCT
However i wanted to remove the zeroes in BPC , i wanted to see the numbers as 100, 75, 50 and so on.
Is there any way i can handle this in transofrmation file. Please let me know as this is really urgent. Thanks much.
Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi,
The properties in BPC are stored as string. So, you will have to convert it to string while loading. Secondly, it will be really difficult to use this percentage value in any script logic; since it is stored as string.

BPC: Conditional Formulas in Transformation Files, Possible?

Hi All,
I have an issue where I have a standard conversion file for the Account dimension, however for certain accounts the account is also dependent on the Entity ID. Rather than writing several conversion files to maintain for each entity I am wondering if the following is possible:
Is it possible to write some sort of conditional formatting in the transformation file such as:
If (stringAccount)= "XXX" then (stringAccount) + (stringEntity) and go pick up conversion file A, else (stringAccount) and pick up conversion file B
Conversion File A would have Entity/Account combo as the External account, and the Internal account would be the account for that specific Entity. (I actually have this stored as a property on each entity but currently its assumed that some sort of dynamic EVPRO/property defintion will not function in a conversion file.)
Conversion File B would be my standard conversion file.
I am thinking that I this might be possible but need assitance in the syntax for the transformation file.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Brian Tyson
Edited by: Brian Tyson on Aug 12, 2008 9:48 AM

I think I have figured out how I am going to do this, my co-worker suggested the solution is more simple than I was making it out to be:
my transformation file will be:
Account= Accountstring + Entitystring
then int he conversion file i will have the following:
1001*              1001
1002*              1002
1003EntityA     1013
1003EntityB     1023
1003EntityC     1033
1004*               1004
Only thing is that I will have to hardcode, rather than using the property...

How to READ/SAVE Transformantation / Conversion File in BPC with ABAP

hi Experts
I would like to READ/SAVE Transformantation / Conversion File in BPC with ABAP
When I interface Transaction File From Other Cube,
I want to run Interface test from ABAP using Transformantation / Conversion File before run DM.
and, l want to Manage files with ABAP Program ,if need to modify Transformantation / Conversion File
Thank you.

Hi Young,
In addition to the above suggestions, would like to inform you that, if your requirement can be met by running those files in BPC Excel itself, what is the point in running ABAP program for the same?
It would be much more easier for you to run those files in BPC Excel itself and that is how BPC is designed.
Hope this clarifies further.

Thanks,

Hi Santosh,
I am sure you would done it correctly. However, just to be on the safer side, lets revisit all the steps.
From BPC excel, we create a new conversion. Check the name of the worksheet (not the workbook). By default, it will be Conversion. You can change it to something else also. Lets say, we change it to Account. So, the sheet's name is Account. We validate and save the conversion as myconversion.xls. This will create another file named myconversion.cdm. Check the location properly while saving the conversion file. The location would be
HTTP://server_name/appset/application/DataManager/ConversionFiles.
Save it under company folder.
Go to the server, where BPC has been installed. Go to the folder
\Webfolders\appset\application\DataManager\ConversionFiles
Check whether the conversion file is present or not. We should have both "myconversion.xls" and "myconversion.cdm".
Create a new transformation file. Under the *CONVERSION section, We define the conversion file to be used. The format would be
Dimension_Name=conversion_file_name.xls!sheet name
In our example, it would be myconversion.xls!account. (check the use of the conversion file name and the sheet name).
Save and validate the transformation file. Mostly, the issue is around the conversion file name and the sheet name. Check all the steps.
Hope this helps.

Donu00B4t load duplicates File to a cube through DTP

Hi gurus... i want to know if is possible to avoid load the same data from files to a cube.. doing this trough a DTP.
I think to do this with a step in a process chain that eliminate dupplicates entry in the cube, but the problem is that i haven´t any selection in DTP... this is a full load.
Regards..

Neo,
do you want to avoid loading duplicate files to a cube using DTP or avoid loading duplicates from the file to the cube ?
if it is avoid loading duplicate records from file to cube - then ideally you can use a DSo in between...
