Universe design for SAP BPC (MSAS cube)

During the designing of a Universe on top of a MSAS cube there is the moment I may select Dimensions & Hierarchies. Here there are ID's of my model, e.g. Accounts-Lev1, Time-Lev1, etc.
How do I get to see the descriptions of the levels in the Universe Designer?

Hi SR,
In some way is true what you think, is important to put effort and intelligence in design very well the Bex query also the BW solution.
But the effort is not only there, you can improve that with a good Universe creating MDX Measures, changing the BW names (Dimensions and measures) for other more comprehensives for the users, change and reorder the classes and dimensions to be more close to user concept, create new hierarchies and others.
Don't forget that the Universe is a semantic layer to hide complexity and is useful for:
- Map complex data into familiar business terms such as products, customers, and sales.
- Enable simple, intuitive, and self-guided data analysis.
- Guarantee single version of the truth (identical results) no matter what tool is used)
Some tips are:
You do not need a BE query for every report and you do not need a Universe for every existing BE query
Focus the implementation strategy on limiting the number of Bex queries and Universes that share common elements
Build a small set of Bex queries focusing on sharing common elements in a small number of Universes
Understand that primarily the WebI Query Panel definition influences how much data is retrieved from BW, and not the BE query design or the WebI Report layout, In some situations extremely large queries and universes can adversely affect performance
Removing / Hide Unnecessary u201CL00u201D Objects
Removing / Hide Unused or Redundant Detail Objects
Remove all prefixes « Lxx ». Copy the initial name in the Description of the object
Rename the attributes (Detail objects) when necessary : remove the suffixes when no Business signification
Optimizing Detail Object Syntax
I hope this help you.
Best Regards

Hi Do we have tables for SAP BPC EPM Comments ? if we have what are they could you please explain some one.

Hi Do we have tables for SAP BPC EPM Comments ? if we have what are they could you please explain some one.

Hi Narahari,
Yes, we have tables for SAP BPC EPM comments and it is stored in backend BW.
Please follow the below steps to see it -
1. Go to RSA1 and find the infoprovider name for the application/cube that contains the comments For example, the infoprovider name is /CPMB/VZIKG4O
2. Then Go to SE16 and enter the comment table name. The comment tables are generated tables. You can determine there name by using the following rules:
a. The table name always starts with '/1CPMB/'
b. The rest of the name is derived from the infoprovider name - it is the first two characters after the second '/' + the fourth, fifth and sixth characters + CMT (for comments) or CMTA (for archived comments). In my case the comments table name would be "/1CPMB/VZKG4CMT" and the archived comments table would be "/1CPMB/VZKG4CMTA".
3. Hit 'F7' or click the table contents button.
4. Enter the criteria for the comments you wish to export.
Hope this helps.

Performance and configuration Adobe LiveCyce Designer for SAP

Hi there,
I have a question for LiveCycle Designer for SAP. If the SAP system, a very large amount of data to the LiveCycle Designer is passed (eg data from over 1000 pages about 40,000 lines) then it comes to the following exception: com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ads.exception.TransientException: A problem was encountered with the results: render Result array is null .; [Error Log file "2014.11.14.145246SAFPFILE1.pdf" written to F: \ usr \ sap \ R44 \ SYS \ global \\ Adobe Document
For smaller amounts of data from SAP, it goes without problems.
Does anyone know the settings in SAP or by Adobe LiveCyle designer?
Is there such a thing as a limitation of number of rows? Or is there a limit on the size of the transferred data from SAP?
What would be a possible solution?

Did you raise this SAP via an OSS message?

Consolidation for SAP BPC

HI Gurus,
I have gone through the documentation provided by SAP for SAP BPC Admin document
which just talks about the various business rules available for consolidation.
Can someone o explain in brief the sequence steps that one needs to follow for consolidation? (e.g. First develop the dimensions - account, entity, etc., then application - finance, rate, ownership, then set up the consolidation rules, then methods, then automatic adjustment detail etc.)
Also it will be helpful if someone can actually describe the required properties in each dimension to perform consolidation?
(e.g. Account needs to have ElimAcc for Eliminations etc.)
Regards
kishan

Hi Kishan,
                 For consolidation if your working in BPCNW version,here are the requirements.
                  In general you have 3 applications...
                      1.Consolidation-For doing all the consolidation part
                      2.Rate----
For doing all the currency conversions and Elimainations
                      3.Ownership
                Here are the required dimensions dimensions....
                  C_Acct (A)
                  C_Category (C)
                  C_Datasrc (D)
                  Flow (S)
                  Group (R)
                  Entity (E)
                  Intco (I)
                 Time (T)
                 R_Acct (A)
                 InputCurrency(R)
                 Groups(R)
                 O_Acct (A)
these are the basic requirements for legal Consolidation.
The sequance of steps are 1.Load the master data(Dimensions)
                                       2.create the Applications.
                                       3.Load the Appset and Application Parameters.
                                       4.Customizing the Logic(We have the existing logic in BPC-BI use that Logic).
                                       5.Reports are based on your need.
If your an Finance background you should have known the steps to process the logic i.e sequence of steps.....if not reply me i will let you know..
Hope these helps you...
have a nice day......

Pre-Requisite for SAP BPC certification

Dear Gurus,
Hope you all are good. I am an ABAPER. I want to do SAP BPC certification. Can somebody tell what kind of functional and technical knowledge is required for this certification or to work in BPC. Some told me you need a strong FI/CO knowledge for tis certification some say you need BW technical knowledge for this. I will be highly appreciatibe if someone tells me the pre-requisites or basics in percentage. Can ABAPER moves toward BPC?
My second question is what is the job demand for SAP BPC?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Saida,
Where did you get the information from that "you have to select in which version you need a certification, there may be 2 seperate test for those two" ???
Look at the link below for SAP BPC Certification C_EPMBPC_10.
https://training.sap.com/shop/certification/c_epmbpc_10-sap-certified-application-associate---sap-business-planning-and-consolidation-100-g/certification-details/
It clearly states that candidate needs to have knowledge on both versions -
It validates that the Associate Consultant has a good sound knowledge and understanding of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for SAP NetWeaver and SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for the Microsoft platform.

Analyzer Security for SAP BPC 7.5 SP6

Hi ,
We have recently installed Analyzer add-in on our excel for Adhoc reporting on SAP BPC 7.5 SP6
But analyzer is not considering the data security restricted for specific region.
For eg: If a planner is assinged to EUROPE planning role and when he creates reports using analyzer he is able to see the data for all the regions(NA,EMEA,ASIAPAC).
Is there anyway we can restrict the planners to see the data relevant to their role in Analyzer.
we had a look at security in Admin client. Is there anyway to handle this.Thanks much.
Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi,
You can use Bex analyzer for detailed reporting. Both the analyzer and BPC reports can be connected using the normal excel functionalities (in a single excel workbook) so that BPC CV selection will be fed into Bex as variables and relevant data records are displayed in Bex reports. Performance of Bex analyzer is slow. That is one of the main reason it was replaced with BO reporting tools.
If you are using BPC 7.5NW, then there is a standard functionality called DRILL THROUGH. Using this functionality you can drill down to detailed data in BW.
Bex and BPC have different authorizations. You can maintain authorizations in BW roles and try to manually replicate same authorizations in BPC (there is also a how-to doc on automating this synchronization).

Stress testing tools for SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft version

Hi all
I was wondering if there are any stress testing tools that can be used with SAP BPC 7.0 MS to simulate hundreds of users using the application simultaneously and thus testing the performance.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

There are tools to perform the performance analysis of BPC, one is loadrunner. But be careful when defining the "hundreds of users using the application simultaneously"; There are many scenarios in my mind, where you could have several hundred users using BPC, but not sending or retrieving data at the exact same time. You might check the SAP sit eto see if any presentations are posted from the Sapphire conference this Spring.
Hope this helps.

Cache resetting for SAP BPC

Hello
I have an issue where we have restored SAP BPC back to 6th June 2008 backup, but when I login, I can view reports I created on 20th June 2008.
Would appreciate any help with locating
where the cache files are stored and any ideas why it's not updating?
regards
Hina

For the instances where we've had to get support from SAP, we've backed up our AppSet and uploaded it to an FTP site where SAP then would download it.

Universe Designer from SAP-BW

Hi all,
I've a big doubt I'd like to solve.
I use Designer ver. 12.1 to create an Universe from a BW OLAP Query and I'm noted on my Designer is disabilited every Edit Select Statement dialog box, and every Edit Where Clause dialog box of the objects Properties.
Is this normal situation for an UD based on SAP-BW, or is my UD version limited?
Thanks in advance.

Group GL activation for SAP BPC.

Dear all,
In one Company we are implementing Planning, IGAAP consolidation and IFRS consolidation.
In accounts GL grouping, all three tracks will be following different groupings. So if we suggest them to update group GL in SAP, we need clarification on the same.
What are the possible ways?
1. Do separate grouping in SAP ECC (if its possible?)
2. Upload Data from BI 3 times (again, how, if its possible?)
3. Maintain Mapping of GLs in Conversion file (for all 3 tracks i.e Planning, IGAAP Consolidation & IFRS Consolidation)
If not going by best practice suggested by SAP, which is to have planning & consolidation at Group GL level, then it would be with operating GLs !!
What do you suggested, how do we approach this issue ?
Need your inputs from previous client implementation and personal experiences.
If any of you followed Group gl please give us the solution.
Looking forward to your quick reply.
& Thanks for your time in advance.

Universe Connections for SAP BEx

Hi All,
We are planning to build couple of Universes over SAP BEx query.
Could anyone inform if we should go for creating a single connection and use it for all Universes (or) Create multiple connections.
Does having different connections for different Universes(though Data Warehouse-BW) is same helps in increasing report performance?
Thank you.
- AK

Hi,
It all depends on your requirement. There are few ways.
You can create one super universe on the top of your BW Query and then create your reports using your super universe.
Or you can create multiple universes and then create your reports.
Basically one universe one connection. SAP Universes are different then other universes where you create one connection.
In SAP environment one universe one connection.
Hope it helps.
