Upgrade BPC 7.0 MS to 7.5 MS or 10.0 MS

Good day,
We're currently using BPC 7.0 MS and are looking at long range plans.  In that regard, we're trying to determine if it makes sense to upgrade to 7.5 MS or go straight to 10.0 MS.  (Can we go straight to 10.0 or must we do 7.5 first?)
Also hoping that someone can point me to succinct listings of the benefits of each upgrade.  What do we gain if we do just 7.5?  What does 10.0 bring to the table?  I've come across some data but don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone has a nice neat list somewhere.
Thanks!

Hi Kim,
you can upgrade directly from 7.0 to 10.0, please see the "SBOP Plan & Consol 10.0 MS Upgrade Guide" in "10.0, version for the Microsoft platform " at this link
https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&_SHORTKEY=01100035870000726400&
For the difference between 7.5 to 10 please see the short file
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001023162011E/EPMofc_10_whatsnew_en.pdf
in february 2012 should be available the 10.0 so I think you can wait and upgrade directly to 10.0.
Kind regards
Roberto

    Hi sandeep ,
    Hence the problem was not there with previous versions where the .js files were simply not compressed by default.
    Solution :
    I believe switching off javascript compression is a suitable option in this case as the script files are usually cached by the browser as well and will not be transmitted every time.
    Kindly follow these steps:
    1. Enter the J2EE Config tool.
    2. drill down: Global Server Configuration->services->http
    3. on the right hand side, click on NeverCompressed
    4. on the bottom, add at the end: ,*.js
    5. Apply the changes
    6. restart the J2EE.
    After this clear the browser cache and then log onto the portal and check if the issue gets resolve
    I hope it will useful to you.
    Thanks@ Re grads

  • Upgrade BPC 5.1 SP3 to SP10

    Hi,
    I'll be upgrading one of clients' service pack from BPC 5.1 SP3 to SP10 in the next coming week.  I'd like to know if there's any new functionalities that comes with SP10.
    I'd also like to know what issues can I expect to come accross with the new patch.
    Regards,
    Mosa

    Into SMP you can see all the information necessary about this build.
    You will have everything which is new.
    Because i tis a cumulative patch you actually have to read all the information for SP4,5..until 10.
    You don't need to install all the patches but SP 10 will contains all the fixes from SP4 till 10.
    You can use the follow link

  • Upgrade BPC 7.5 SP3 MS

    Hi,
    We have BPC5.1 SP11 on SQL Server 2005 and we want to upgrade to BPC 7.5 SP3 on SQL Server 2008.
    Is there a SAP guide with all the steps necessary to be done to migrate an appset from 5.1 to 7.5?
    I find something on Upgrade Guide 7M.pdf and SAP_BPC_70_SP04_M_Install.pdf, but this is for BPC 7.0.
    For BPC 7.5 is there an official SAP guide? Are the migration steps the same?
    thanks
    best regards
    massimo

    Massimo - The SAP website uses javascript so it is difficult to get an accurate direct link to any specific page.  Click on patrick's link and then navigate to version 7.5 MS on your left pane.  Then you should be able to see the 7.5M guides.
    However, I'm noting that the guides are incomplete - for example, there is no Office or Admin guides for BPC 7.5 listed.
    Does anyone know why?  Here are the guides listed for 7.5 Microsoft version:
    SBOP Plan & Consol - CopyOpening Guide 
    SBOP Plan & Consol - Currency Conversion Guide 
    SBOP Plan & Consol - Intercompany Matching Guide
    SBOP Plan & Consol 7.5 M Installation Guide

  • Upgrade BPC 7.53 to BPC 10.0

    Hello,
    we are running on BW 7.3 with BPC Version 7.53 (not 7.50), which is necessary one for a NW 7.3 system. We would like to upgrade to BPC 10.0, but unfortunatelly SAP provides no explicit information about this scenario.
    Does somebody know if this upgrade is supported by SAP?
    Are there any experience with this scenario?
    Kind Regards
    Waldemar

    Hello,
    I have opened an OSS message and the answer is as follows:
    The upgrade from BPC NW 7.53 to BPC NW 10.0 is possible. Once it is
    successfully done by an SAP partner or the SAP consulting service (who
    are supposed to know exactly if there are some changes needed to be
    done on the system) it will be supported by our primary support team.
    Maybe this will help somebody else, too.
    Kind Regards

  • SAP BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.0 upgrade, problem CPMBPC_800

    Hello,
    We are currently upgrading BPC 7.5 to BPC 10.0. We want to do an upgrade of our existing BPC 7.5, and not an 'clean' installation of BPC 10.0.
    Right now we are having some issues with the´basis part of the upgrade.
    We have installed the POASBC 100_730 SP01 (POASBC ABAP component) with no problems
    and now we want to install the EPM content in the download package 51040691 (Server components).
    In the download package 51040691 - there are two folders 'upgrade' and 'installation'
    The files have been uploaded into SAP BW 7.3 and the problem now is in 'saint' - we can see the CPMBPC_800 package, but the type is 'INSTALLATION' and there is not an option to choose 'UPGRADE'
    Is 'INSTALLATION' the same as a clean installation - or will the package detect the existing SAP BPC 7.5 and do upgrade instead of an installation ?
    All help is appreciated
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    we are facing the same issue. Did somebody solve this problem? Is INSTALLTION the same as UPGRADE?
    Kind Regards

  • BPC 7.5 MSFT SP05 to SP11 upgrade

    Hi BPC Experts,
    We are running SAP BPC 7.5 SP05 (7.5.106.00) on Microsoft environment and will soon upgrade BPC to 7.5 SP11 (7.5.112.00).
    I understand Service Pack 11 is cumulative but what about patch “7.5M SP11 Patch 5”? Are also patches cumulative so I just have to install that patch5 and not patch1,2,3,4,5?
    After we have upgrade test server, will we still be able to restore applicationSets from production (BPC 7.5 SP5) to test server (BPC 7.5 SP11) even though BPC version differs?
    I understand there is no way to revert back to BPC 7.5 SP5 in case we face issues after the upgrade to BPC.5 SP11. Correct?
    In case we have to go back to previous version (BPC 7.5 SP5) we have to uninstall BPC application and reinstall BPC SP5?
    So, in the process of uninstalling BPC, all applicationSet related  data will remain such as SQL databases, OLAP and fileDBs, webfolders etc  and I can just install BPC 7.5 SP5 again without any reconfiguration?
    In SAP note 1803261 (7.5M SP11 Central Note) they mention “When restoring an application set after BPC 7.5M has been upgraded to this version, you must recreate the partition if an application has a custom OLAP partition”.
    How can I tell if we have a custom OLAP partition?
    Thankyou and best regards,
    Jonas

    Hi Jonas,
    I understand Service Pack 11 is cumulative but what about patch “7.5M SP11 Patch 5”? Are also patches cumulative so I just have to install that patch5 and not patch1,2,3,4,5?
    normally the last one includes the others but if you look on the right link "info" for the patch you will found (sometimes just link to a note) the list of the notes and patch included. I think the last is pacth 6
    After we have upgrade test server, will we still be able to restore applicationSets from production (BPC 7.5 SP5) to test server (BPC 7.5 SP11) even though BPC version differs?
    there aren't changes in the structure\tables so you should be able to restore the appsets in the new version.
    I understand there is no way to revert back to BPC 7.5 SP5 in case we face issues after the upgrade to BPC.5 SP11. Correct?
    In case we have to go back to previous version (BPC 7.5 SP5) we have to uninstall BPC application and reinstall BPC SP5?
    So, in the process of uninstalling BPC, all applicationSet related  data will remain such as SQL databases, OLAP and fileDBs, webfolders etc  and I can just install BPC 7.5 SP5 again without any reconfiguration?
    bpc don't give you the possibility of downgrade the version but the basis can do a snaphot before to start the upgrade and if not ok they can go back immediately to sp5 (before to do this it's better to understand where is the issue and eventually ask a SAP help).
    In SAP note 1803261 (7.5M SP11 Central Note) they mention “When restoring an application set after BPC 7.5M has been upgraded to this version, you must recreate the partition if an application has a custom OLAP partition”.
    How can I tell if we have a custom OLAP partition?
    your basis should know if they have do an OLAP customization, if so you will loose the customizing and they should repeat it again on the new version.
    After the upgrade don't forget to process all dims, to do a modify application also recreating the OLAP of all your applications and to do a full optimize.

  • BW upgrade 7.01 (BPC 7.5) to BW 7.3

    Hi
    We have a BW 7.0 EhP1 (with add-on BPC 7.5 SP7) and we wanted to upgrade to 7.3 version.
    During prepare phase, upgrading add-on CPMBPC from 750 to 800 is mandatory. And for CPMBPC 800, it is dependent on POASBC 100_730. And it is not not accepting add-on POASBC_100_730.
    Looks like POASBC 100_730 cannot be added in EhP1 version and should be added to EHP2 system onwards.
    Please guide us to upgrade to 7.3 with our current landscape BW 7.0 EhP1 with add-on BPC 7.5
    Thanks & Regards
    Madhu

    Hi
    Every customer scenario is unique.
    In our case, along with BPC 7.5, we had SEM_BW & FINBASIS. And we wanted to upgrade BPC to EPM 10 version.
    To resolve all these issues and no proper answer from SAP support, we did a dual upgrade. First to 7.0 EHP2 & then to 7.3

    Hi Mahesh,
    Usually with loads from BI you don't need conversions, so i'd suggest you delete that reference to conversion file unless you have something in it.
    If you put something in the conversion file that verify that this file located at the path you specified in your Transformation file.
    Hope this helps.

  • BPC 7.0 M SP08 - The server is not responding or there is a server error

    I have upgraded BPC 7.0 M SP3 to SP8. The front end servers are load balanced running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2. The backend is SQL Server 2008.
    When using the new office or admin client I am now getting "The server is not responding or there is a server error" when using the Connection Wizard.
    If I use the old client, I get past the Connection Wizard, but receive "LoadAppInfo :-1 : Failed to connect Database. This occurs if I go to the load balancer or one of the farm web servers directly.
    During the upgrade of the server, the system check showed all green checks, but there was a message about something wrong with services. After finding nothing to identify the issue, I continued with the installation. After the upgrade, Server Manager Diagnostics shows all green checks.
    Thanks for any help.
    Joe

    Hi Sorin,
    Thanks for the response.
    I performed an upgrade.
    Both tables have the correct info.
    I have installed the latest client. With the old client I get, "LoadAppInfo :-1 : Failed to connect Database."
    With the updated client I get "The server is not responding or there is a server error." error from the Connection Wizard. Because of the error, I do not get a chance to select ApShell when using the new Excel client. But this is what I find in tblLogs:

  • Can BPC 7.5 be installed on a Mac running Windows?

    We have recently upgraded from OutlookSoft 4.2 to BPC 7.5.   We had been running OutlookSoft 4.2 in a terminal server configuration that our users use remote desktop connection to access.  With the upgrade, BPC is installed on each client machine. I have one user (our CFO) with a Mac who is running windows and has no problem running Office or any other windows based programs. However, he has not been able to install the BPC client.  It appears that he has the administrator interface but the excel interface will not install.  He is not set up as an administrator. Any ideas on how to make this installation?

    Hello,
    Yes, he is running windows on a virtual machine on the Mac.  We've tried installing several times and always end up with the same result; the launch page shows interface for the web and admin but does not give him excel.  I've asked him to uninstall BPC and then run the installation again. 
    Is there anything else we should be checking?
    thank you

  • BPC 7 to 7.5 - Core dump at ABAP Stack.

    Hello experts,
    I have upgraded BPC server software from BPC 7.0 to BPC 7.5 SP 03. When I launch Admin client or Excel I get the message Core dump at ABAP stack. When I check in ST21 I see it is trying to execute a function module that does not exist in the system.
    My question is do I need to install something on ABAP side?
    Thanks in advance.

    http://service.sap.com
    Under Software Downloads, click Support Packages and Patches,  click  A-Z Index, click "B", click SAP BPC FOR SAP NETWEAVER, click SBOP PC 7.5 FOR SAP NW,  click Comprised Software Component Versions, click SAP CPM BPC ABAP 7.5, click support packages.  Down below you will find the SPs for the ABAP stack for the BPC component.  YOu must first bring the BPC component up to 7.5 before you start applying the support packages though.  I assume you already have that 7.5 component.
