Uninstall SAP BPC 7.0

Hi all,
I have problem uninstalling the SAP BPC 7.0 on Microsoft Platform.
When I uninstall through Windows Add/Remove Component, the wizard
stuck at the Removing Sample OLAP database?
Any idea what am I missing out here? Is there a uninstall guide I can follow?
Thanks alot.

Hi,
Or the unistall user is not OLAP administrator.
Or uninstall user doesn't rights to delete databases from SQL.
Or apshell was not created during the installation and the system is looking to delete the database but this doesn't exist.
Or installation was bad and connection to OLAP and SQL is wrong.
I think if you kill the process and remove the key registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE- SOFTWARE - OUTLOOKSOFT then you will be able to continue your process or to reinstall.
Please open also a OSS message to be sure that we will trace this issue.

Upgrade to SAP BPC 7.0 with cluster system (Front-End & Back-End)

Hello,
I have to do an upgrade document about an outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 in a cluster system.
It has 2 front-ends (IIS cluster windows) & 2 back-ends (SQL Cluster).
We are going to do first the migration in 1 node, and then in another. The first upgrade in the first node I understand. I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then restore the backup of the Appset, and do the posts upgrade action of the Dimension TIME.
But in the second, what do we do??? I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then what??? Do I have to restore the backup of the Appset again???
I need help.
Best regards.
Pablo Mortera.

Hello,
On the second cluster node, you have only to install the software, nothing related to the appset. If you alreay run the migration stepts for the appset, all the information are into daatbase and file server.
However, the normal behaviour is to make the installation on the both nodes, make the basic tests to validate the installation and then proceed with the appset migration.

SAP BPC 7.5 Client, Silent install but with progress bar, can it be done?

Hi All,
I need to uninstall the BPC 7 Client and then deploy 7.5 to around 250 users accross the country.
We have SCCM (SMS) in place so will be using that.
I have the uninstall of 7 sorted and I have the response file etc sorted for the silent install of 7.5 and the install runs, silently, no issue.
Is there a way though that one can "turn on" the progress bar during the install? So that users dont shutdown or disconnect in the 15min it takes the install to run.
By way of example, in the SAP Business objects enterprise client on can configure the Silent install so that although it never prompts the user for a reponse there is a progress bar that runs, indicating that there is an install in progress.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Hi Sebastian,
No worries, I am using a pop up countdown so the users have some idea on progress. Would love to know why the install runs for over 15min.
In the above case the uninstall was easy as we had deployed using MS AppV so it was just a case of deleting the advert in SCCM and the application was pulled from the users desktops.
For 7.5 I am using a vbscript with following to uninstall:
The install string pulled from the clients registry uninstall folder:
RunCommand Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{EC8753EF-EE78-48B5-A4D0-FBBD237B5D53}\setup.exe" & Chr(34) & " -runfromtemp -l0x0009UNINSTALL -removeonly"
We create a custom link, so this deletes it.
DeleteFile "c:\Users\Public\Desktop\SAP BPC 7.5.lnk"
You should be able to create something similar for 7.0 & 7.1
Hope that helps,
Bryan

Hi,
This is one of the most common error I encountered during my recent BPC Project . This can be solved by the following ways.
1.Please check the authorizations ( make sure to have full admin authorizations for the Apshell) .
2.Make sure to Re- install both admin & client tools (check the Diagnostics and uninstall re-install both admin & client tools once.)

SAP BPC 7.5 SP6 on Win 7 x64bit & MS Off 2010 - Path not Found errors

Hi,
We have currently started a test group of 16 users to test Win 7 before migrate the entire company. Some of the test users are in Accounting and they use SAP BPC 7.5 for their Budget and Forecasting. We have Win 7 x64 bit and MS Office 2010 installed. For one user, after logging into the Production server for BPC he opens the report library and he is unable to get certain macros to allow for different changes within the excel spreadsheet. For example, there is a section that asks him to change the company name. When he clicks on the field to do so it says "Path Not Found".
Another user when he tries to open up a report, he gets "Loading Dimension information..(Customer)" then a popup comes and says File not found. We have tried to uninstall and reinstall BPC on the new machines to no avail.
Any help you can provide would be great. If more information is needed, please let me know.
Thanks,
Lakiasha Walker

Hi Lakiasha,
Could you re-install .NET 2.0, .Net 3.0. .Net 3.5 framework on the machines and check the results.
I guess you may need to upgrade your BPC server as well as client version to SP8 ( minimum) to work with MS office 2010.

Restore the components as they were before in a Migration (SAP BPC) - DOC

Hello,
I am going to do a Migration from Outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to a SAP BPC 5.1 SP6 in a productive instance (Cluster system) with 2 front-end & 2 back-ends and I wan to know if someone knows is there a way to do a good backup incase it turns out to be a failure in the migration, I want to have a restore document incase.
Does someone has this document. Does SAP has this document to restore the components as they were before?
Best regards...
Pablo Mortera.

HI Pablo,
Actually you are not performing a migration you are performing an upgrade.
You have to do backup of your appset.
You have to upgrade just one application server and to shut down the second and to see if it is working find everything after the upgrade.
If it is not then you have tu uninstall this server and to install again the old version 5.0.
Restore the appset and you will have again the system up and running with old version.

How to use the RateEntity dimension in SAP BPC?

Hello everbody,
I am implementing a consolidation process using SAP BPC. I want to use the RateEntity dimension, to translate a same currency into different exchange rates depending on the company.
I want the company which ID is GFU (which is from Brazil) in LegalEntity dimension is converted using a special exchange rate. I have added a GFU member in RateEntity dimension, and I have entered the exchange rates for the member GFU and for the member Global in RateEntity dimension.
But the problem is that after I run the FX Restatement package, converted data for this company is not the proper one, because Global exchange rates have been used instead of GFU exchange rates. Does anybody know why? Do I have to do anything else?
Thank you very much for your time

Do you see the search functionality in the upper left of the screen?
Okay, now type in ecatt, press enter and in the next screen filter on blogs.

Reports from SAP BPC NW 7.5

Hi All,
Our Landscape:
SAP ECC EhP1
SAP BW 7.10
SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 (WebI/Crystal/Xcelsius)
SAP BPC NW 7.5
We are new to BPC. We would like to know where do we need to develope the reports on BPC data. Can some one help me on this. If some one have any best practices or options that where we can develope the reports, pls let me know
Like we can do reporting directly on BPC with only couple of reports from BW/BOBJ or all reports from BW/BOBJ.
Here we are planning to use BW as warehouse solution and BOBJ tools for reporitng on BW data.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
BPC is a planning & a reporting tool. It can also be used for Consolidation. As mentioned in the previous reply, the data in BW has to be made available in BPC Application (cube) to be able to report it out.
You might need to create transformation files and conversions files between your BW cubes and the BPC cubes to realise the data transfer to BPC application (cube). Note, BPC cubes are automatically generated when you create an application from the BPC front end.
Please refer to some good introductory blogs available on SDN to get to know the BPC terminology and BW terms. Then BPC has an reporting tool in itself. You can create reporting using EVDRE for example which displays the data landed in BPC cubes. This typically will have actual data (loaded from BW), plan data (planned through Input Schedules or flat file data loads).
Hope this give some brief idea.
Thanks

Hi experts,
I need your inputs regarding Extended Analytic Analyzer add ins.
I installed the SAP Business Object Extended Analytic Analyzer hoping to integrate the Xcelsius in SAP BPC MS 7.5
I am following the HTG to integrate but got lost.

The only options available under operation type are
EPM Report
Retrieve Environments
Retrieve Models
Retrieve Dimensions
Retrieve Dimension Members
Input Data
Retrieve Business Process Flows
Retrieve Context
Retrieve Members Property Values
RetrieveText From Library
It doesn't include the option Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
Im wondering if there are different version of the epm connector? Was my EPM connector differs from the HTG?
And also in Excel under Extended Analytic Analyzer, the function =GETREPORTDEFINITION() is missing
Please help me on this guys..
Thanks in advance.

It seems a very good oportunity to use FIM.
FIM was designed especially for exchange data betweeen different SAP product.
FIM will provide an easy way to do the conversion using wizards and also will assure you about data inetgrity and quality.
This will be the way forward but more details has to be define during the implementation.
I hope this will help you.

Hi,
New SP was released in February, and now most of the new bugs should been caught ,This has a Central Note. For SP06 it's Note 1527325 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP06 NetWeaver Central Note to fix any issues. Most of the improvements in SP06 were related to performance, especially when logging on from the BPC clients.There you should be able to find a big list of fixes/improvements and Notes that describe those. Some of the Notes even have test description how to reproduce that issue in the old version.
hope this will help you

Custom Process Types not working in SAP BPC 10.0

Hi Experts,
We have migrated from SAP BPC 7.5 NW to SAP BPC 10.0 NW.
We have three Custom Process Types created in BPC 7.5NW using the super class CL_UJD_SIMPLE_ACTOR as super class.
It has been made Obsolete and Final class in BPC 10.0NW and the Custom Process types are not running as expected.
Can you please suggest if there is any alternative for using the existing custom process types? Or do we have any alternative for creating custom process types?
*Note: We have tried replacing the superclass with CL_UJD_ACTOR instead of CL_UJD_SIMPLE_ACTOR but of no use.

Balraj.

Questions on Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2

Hi Friends,
My company is Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2 and I am heading the project starting from 1st June. I have downloaded the Installation guide and still have few questions
1) On which client we deploy BPC server component, I mean on 000 or any other.
2) Initially we are doing on Sandbox, so we are using only one system for both ABAP and NET servers and we are using 64bit machine. How do I run 1.1 Net framework on it, I have read installation guide it says configure to WOW6432 but dont know how to do it
3) When we download the ABAP server component what format will it be .SAR or .CAR or any other
Please do reply.
Thanks in advance
Bobby

Hello Bobby,
1. You will install the BPC server component with SAINT, which has to be executed in client 000, but BPC will actually run in the client you designate for BW.
2. The following article discusses configuring ASP.NET 1.1 to run in 32 bit mode on a 64 bit system [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435]
3. The ABAP server component will be a SAR file.
Thank you,
Daniel

How to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen when we start BPC. I do not want it to pop up.
I looked at VBA behind the workbooks but could not find anything. Could not make the sheet invisible.
Is there a way to get rid of the screen? This is the screenshot

Re: How to change the logo, (3 Globes) on the launch page
Posted: Mar 18, 2009 12:46 PM in response to: David Fletcher Reply
OK then, now v7sp03 for microsoft has hit the shelves, you can change the logo !!!
It is quite easy.
Have the logo file ready in either BMP, GIF or JPG format.
Put it in your "Server Install -> DataWebFolders[Appset]" folder (so where you keep your files).
In ApplicationSet parameters, add the parameter COMPANY_LOGO and in the options type the name of the file you just put on the server.
Now if you restart BPC for Excel, the second excel page that pops up should be showing your new logo or graphic (mine did).
The use of the logo has been documented in the admin manual -> working with appset parameters
Some tips.
I wanted not to clutter the filesystem so i put my logo in the appsetpublications folder and added the path accordingly in the parameter (so now it reads appsetpublicationslogoname.jpg instead of just logoname.jpg).
If you do not supply a name (only the parameter), your second Excel window (normally holding the graphic) will not appear. That could be an alternative too if you find that whole thing annoying.
Hope this helps you build great BPC apps,
Edwin van Geel

Background process of SAP BPC 7.5 or 7.0 NetWeaver or MicroSoft version

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP BPC NetWeaver. I want to know u2026.
While creating a dimension or an application in BPC 7.5 or 7.0 NetWeaver or MicroSoft Version, what process is going on background, like what tables or what objects are created in SAP BI 7.0 or in MS SQL Server?
Appreciate your help.
Regards
Raja

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP BPC NetWeaver. I want to know u2026.
While creating a Characteristic InfoObject for Master Data in SAP NetWeaver BW. It creates
/BIC/P<InfoObject Name>          P table or Attribute Table
/BIC/T<InfoObject Name>          Text Table
/BIC/H<InfoObject Name>          Hierarchy Table
/BIC/M<InfoObject Name>          View of P Table or Attribute Table
/BIC/S<InfoObject Name>          SID Table
/BIC/K<InfoObject Name>
/BIC/I<InfoObject Name>          Maintain Parent Child relationship
My query is:
Does this SAP BPC 10 or 7.5 or 7.0 NW dimension, which is equivalent to an InfoObject in SAP BW creates the same tables in the background in SAP BW.
An InfoCube of SAP BW is connected with the Dimension Table. This Dimension Table is connected with the SID Table. This SID Table is connected with the Characteristic, which is connected with Attribute Table, Text Table, and Hierarchy Table. Does this SAP BPC 10 or 7.5 or 7.0 NW cube follow the same structure.
Appreciate your help.

Raja
