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.

How to use the transformation file

Hello there!
This message is to ask a question that maybe it could be familiar to you. I want to load data using a .txt file and a transformation file using the import package. Suppose that the structure of my txt file is:
Entity,Category,Time,Account1,Account2,Account3
Ent1,Actual,2010.JAN,289.23,32.43,123.34
Ent1,Actual,2010.JAN,289.23,32.43,123.34
Ent1,Actual,2010.JAN,289.23,32.43,123.34
How could I load this values using a transformation? I know that there exists an option named *MVAL(), but if I use the following syntax in mapping section it doesnu2019t work:
Account=*MVAL(4:6)
I read something about accountval, does some boddy knows how to use it?
Thanks in advance
regards

Hi,
If you are using MVAL statement, then you need to maintain a conversion file also. Its compulsory. Please make sure that you have maintained a conversion file.
If you are on 7.5 MS, then the statement will work. Please refer to the MVAL statement in the mapping section of the below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75/helpdata/en/a2/e722bc58404335ada8592cdc8feaca/content.htm
However, in 7.0 MS, the MVAL works only if the multiple key figures are corresponding to the time dimension. In your case, they correspond to the account dimension. You need to create separate transformation file for each of the key figures and then upload the flat file separately using each of the transformation files.
Hope this helps.

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!

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...

Mapping navigation attributes on transformation files

All,
I have one navigational attribute I would like to map to a dimension in my transformation file. I've tried:
INTCO=0COMP_CODE__0COMPANY
and
INTCO=0COMPANY
Either ways I get an error message saying it is expecting an * after the equal sign. How can I map / use navigational attributes here?
Thanks
Paulo

Hi Tony,
*SELECTION is one of the parameters allowed in the *OPTIONS section of a transformation file. You can see the syntax in the transformation documentation at [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/5d/9a3fba600e4de29e2d165644d67bd1/frameset.htm]. It is only allowed in transformation files used to load from InfoProviders, not from flat-files.

Conversion call in transformation files is not working

Dear Experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 NW SP06. For running master data load from BW, we are using the standard packages available. Whenever we are creating any transformation file keeping the conversion section blank it is working fine and getting validated. If we are creating new conversions, the same also gets validated and updated. To ascertain this, we also checked in the BW back end using UJFS t code and observed that the corresponding .CDM file is getting created in the back end. We are creating all such transformations and conversions in the default company folder. The issue lies in the fact that whenever we are referring the created conversion file in *CONVERSION section of the transformation file using the syntax:
ID/HIER_NAME = [COMPANY]Conversion.xls!CONVERSION
and trying validate the same we are getting the error:
**"xml(........................CDM) file doesn't exists or empty.
File / Document doesn't exist"*.
We again went back to UJFS and found the CDM file is intact there with proper conversion definition. We tried to validate the same phenomenon of calling a conversion using any other transformation file. But the same error happens every time although at the back end the .CDM file gets created.
What can be the problem here? We are stuck.
Your expert advise is highly aprreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
ID/HIER_NAME = COMPANYConversion.xls!CONVERSION
What is the file name here? Is it Conversion.xls and if it contains only one sheet then just try
ID/HIER_NAME = CONVERSION.xls
hope it works...

Raju

Need Help Regarding Nested IF condition in Transformation File.

Hi,
In BI Cube I am having 2 Currency Type values 00 and 10.
And for some GL Accounts Cost Centres are Empty. So for these Empty 0COSTCENTER I am inserting a String CC_NONE.
My requirement is to load Data into BPC by validating 2 Conditions for 0COSTCENTER,
C1. Where 0CURTYPE (Currency Type) = 10 only. *IF(0CURTYPE=*STR(10) THEN
C2. Check where 0COSTCENTER are Empty.          *IF(*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE
       then load the string CC_NONE.                            THEN *STR(CC_NONE);
       else load 0COSTCENTER's                                  *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER))
So entire code will be as below to load 0CostCenter into BPC
COST_CENTER=*IF(0CURTYPE=*STR(10) THEN *IF(*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE THEN *STR(CC_NONE); *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER))
For this, while validating the Transformation File I am getting error as,
Command Error: STR(PC_NONE
If there is any possibility let me know.
Thank you,
Hemanth

Hi Hemanth,
But why not to combine both checks like:
COST_CENTER=*IF(0CURTYPE+*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(10CC_)+0COMP_CODE THEN *STR(CC_NONE); 0CURTYPE=10 THEN *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER)

How to load several transformation files with a single action

Hi everybody,
We are loading data from BI cube into BPC cube. We are working on SAP BPC 7.0 version and we have designed several transformation files in order to load each key figure we need.
Now, we want to load all the transformation files executing only one action. Which one is the best way to do it?
We thought that it would be possible to build a single process chain, where we would call the target cube and all the transformation files. In this way, the administrator only has to execute once a package that would execute the process chain. We don't want the administrator to execute several times a package looking for the different transformation files.
How can we do it? Is there any example or document related to it?
Any idea out there?
Kind regards

How to execute several ROUNDS in a single transformation file?

Hi everybody,
I've put several transformation files into one transformation file but I have the following problems:
- when I look at the log after validating the transformation file, it only shows values for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION
- when I execute the package for loading dat into the cube, it ONLY loads data for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION that appears in the transformation file
The number of 'Submit record count' is always the same as the number of accepted records of the last round. And if I create a view from the target cube, it only has data for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION.
What is happening? Do I must change any parameter?
It's critical for the project as we are loading a lot of key figures and we must simplify the administration of the load process
Thanks a lot in advance for your support,
Albert Mas

Creation of Transformation File

Dear Friends,
How to map the Dimension with Flat file in transformation file, Can any one please guide me.
I have pull the Company Code Master data from BW and upload the flat file in BPC Application Server, now want to create a transformation file to update the same in BPC.
I have created the Dimension called Entity in that, my ID is Company and IntCo(Property) is Intercompany reference, Both Dimensions doesnt have the property Company code.
But in the flat file have a Company information.
Kindly guide me how to map the flat file fields with Dimension Entity.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, MD.

Hi,
The transformation file should contain the information about which property should be mapped with which source column of the flat file. For example, if the master data is in the column heading COMPANY, then you should have:
ID = COMPANY
Please refer to the transformation example in the below link from help.sap:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/e0/532af2d0804218a59157136bb63a98/content.htm

However same transformation file works fine in DEV Server.

How to calculate length of the string in transformation file

Hello all
I have tried a number of ways and I am not able to calculate the length of the incoming field in transformation file for my data load. Here is the issue.
I have an incoming string of length 10 and I need to use it to update multiple dimensions which will need first 2, 4 ,6 , 8 characters respectively.
Now in transformation file ID=ID(1:2) works perfect. However, the BW InfoObject will have multiple values as shown below:
ID
Description
AB
Business
ABCD
Business Organization
ABCDEF
Business Line
ABCDEFGH
Product Family
ABCDEFGHIJ
Product Line
ABCDEFGHIJKL
Brand
I want to update my dimension for Business Organization. I need to update only the records where the length of the incoming string is 4. If I do ID(1:4), I will get the duplicate records and will see the ID less than 4 characters in rejected records. The latter is not such a big issue but the former one is as I need to fetch the right description as well. The formula should check the length and then only pass the record else a dummy value.
A formula to achieve this in the transformation file is what I am looking for.
Regards
Gajendra

Thanks Vadim for the quick response!
I am also trying something similar and really appreciate your input here. However, I am not sure if the conversion is really happening.
Here is what I have done:
But the strings <> 4 in length are still passing through.

Acrobat 8 Standard will not apply transform file during installation

I also posted this in the Acrobat form before I noticed this Enterprise Installation forum.
I am using the Adobe 8 customization wizard to create an MST file for Acrobat 8 Standard. The MST file disables automatic updates, Acrobat Connect and several other items, however, when I run the install with the transform, none of the changes in the MST are applied. I am using the following command inside a batch file:
msiexec /i acrostan.msi TRANSFORMS=ACROSTAN.MST /qb
I am using the Standard files downloaded from Adobe's secure site, which were then unzipped and used with the customization wizard. I did not create an administrative installation point, as that earlier attempt also resulted in not applying the transform.
I believe the transform file is correct, as I found the above command will work the second time I try to install Standard, but does not work the first time Standard is installed using the MST file.

can you post your transform somewhere? take out the serial number before posting. You might also want to create an install log.

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.

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!

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...

Mapping in Transformation file for loading infoprovider

Mapping in transformation file for load from infoprovider:
The requirement is : if Account of BW starts with 70XXXXXXX then use char1 if Account of BW starts with 12XXXXXXX then use char2 in BPC dimension 2.
So, in the transformation file for a load from an infoprovider we want for a dimension to use the data from a certain BW characteristic based on the characteristic Account.
For example if the account start with 70 then use for a certain bpc-dimension u201Cdetailu201D the characteristic of 0COUNRTY should be used, if account start with 2 the char X should be used etc..
Following in the transformation works but the issue is that we have to specify all the accounts individually (+100 accounts in the statement which is not feasible):
BPC_detail = *IF (BWACCOUNT = str(70000010) then 0COUNTRY;str(NO_DETAIL))
Where BPC_detail is the dimension in BPC and BWACCOUNT is the characteristic in BW.
Following statement does not work: there is also no documentation available how to do this:
BPC_detail = *IF (BWACCOUNT(1:2) = str(70) then 0COUNTRY;str(NO_DETAIL))
Is there a solution/statement that fulfills this requirement for the load of an infoprovider?
( so similar to what you can do with the load of a flat file like for example: Entity=IF(col(1,1:1)=U then SEntity;*col(1,1:1)=Z then *col(1,3:6); *STR(ERR)) )
