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.
Best regards,
Mihaela

Hi,
Are you using UME login type for your B2B Scenario?
In your B2B XCM setting have you selected UME related login type?

          No. I was splitting presentation logic (namely servlets and jsp) and business
          logic (ejb) into two layers. Again you don't have to split it into two. You can
          colocate them both together. You could use NES or IIS or Apache or WLS. You
          don't need HttpClusterServlet.
          Lets get this straight.
          1. You need our proxy plugin for failover and to load balance the request that
          are going to presentation logic.
          2. From presentation logic layer, when you talk to backend business logic
          providers (like ejb cluster), if you use stateless session beans we provide
          failover and load balancing. In future we will support clustered stateful
          session beans as well. Therefore you don't need load balancer here.
          3. HttpClusterServlet should run only in front of presentation logic cluster and
          also it supports http only.
          Hope this helps.

SAP BPC NW version with SAP Dashboard Design (No Local Connection)

Dear ALL,
I'm working on SAP BPC NW version 10.0 and I'm trying to build some dashboards on it using SAP Dashboard Design.
So, I follow some links online and I failed to proceed at the very beginning stage:
To create a "Local" connection in Excel EPM Add-in.
From the drop down box for the available connection types, I can just see Planning and Consolidation versions for both MS and NW, but nothing called "Local" as referred in those web.
Any ideas?
BR,
Antony

Hi Antony,
Go through the SAP Note 1730125.
Check the attached doc "SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for SAP NetWeaver" in the note
for more details.

Hello,
I have just installed the SAP Netweaver ABAP trial version. (And using it along with SAP BI) My PC Configuration is 2 GB RAM, 10 GB Free HD, 1.6 GHz processor.
But when I run SAP BI, it is very slow. A regular command takes about 20-30 seconds. Is there any way I can speed up the SAP system?
I am ready to upgrade my laptop/Or even buy a new one with nice settings if I am sure that it is going to help me.
Thanks

E-commerce with CRM or R/3 back end ?

hi all,
we are going to implement E-commerce and create a web shop with a SAP back-end.
We are in doubt whether to use CRM or R/3 as back-end system. Does anyone have experience with pros and cons ?
We already use both CRM (4.0) and R/3 today.
looking forward to hear from you,
best regards
Annette

Hello Annette,
Please see for yourself the gap list between ISA R/3 and CRM-ISA in these consulting SAP Notes.
[Note 609722 - Gap list Internet Sales R/3 Edition 3.1|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/609722]
[Note 638786 - Gap list Internet Sales (R/3 Edition) 4.0|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/638786]
[Note 897680 - Gap list SAP E-Commerce for mySAP ERP (5.0)|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/897680]
The notes provide a progression of gaps cleared in the ISA for R/3 (E-Commerce ERP) version.
While the list gives you a gap of features in the browser UI, you must also make a list of what R/3 Sales can do that CRM Sales cannot do. The CRM-ISA sales process is solely dependent on the CRM Sales process and its limitations. The list is beyond the scope of this thread. Anyway, since you already have CRM and R/3, you know the differences.
If you are planning to go big on the full features of the E-Commerce application - including self service, marketing, then, plan for CRM-ISA.
The major investment of effort has to be planned for (1) middleware integration - which you already have and (2) IPC - I am not sure if you already have done work on this piece. If you have done so already, then, you better go for CRM-ISA. Gives you a better user experience.
If you are looking for low hanging fruits and quick ROI - say B2B scenario, order status, do it with R/3.

Possible to install clustered SAP solution on server with existing system?

Hello all,
I would like to know whether it is possible to install a clustered SAP
system (Windows2003/SQLServer2005 using MSCS) where the main MSCS node of the cluster already has a pre-existing Central SAP system (not clustered).
I believe that this would mean having to create /usr/sap (sapmnt)
twice, because there is already a sapmnt existing on a local drive for
the system that is already installed. For the cluster install, a new
sapmnt would be required on one of the shared storage disks so that it
could failover if the server crashed.
Is this scenario possible, and if so how do you get around having
multiple sapmnts? Do you have to move the sapmnt from system to system depending on which one you are working with (eg. when starting up)?
Does anyone have such a scenario?
Thanks in advance for any assistance......

no, it is not possible and is not supported
for supported scenarios see <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0b8cd93-f1e9-2910-c186-86bfff3dac63">this document</a>

Implementing MSS in EP 6.0 with ECC 6.0 as back end.

hi,
I am implementing MSS in EP with ECC 6.0. what are the configuration should I have to do in ECC 6.0 to implement MSS. Please provide me details as to what are the steps for configurations.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh
Implementation steps for MSS:
1 - Deploy PCUI .sca to your J2EE Engine via SDM
2 - Deploy MSS .sca to your J2EE Engine via SDM
3 - Make sure you have a SLD available, or you can enable the local SLD on your Portal J2EE instance
via http://localhost:port/sld and login as Administrator or J2EE_ADMIN and run the auto import.
4 - Define your ECC server in the SLD as a new WAS ABAP instance and define all the settings via the Wizard.
5 - Use the WebDynpro explorer to configure the Jco destinations to use the new WAS ABAP instance in your SLD
6 - Define the system definitions as per the MSS documentation for alias SAP_WebDynpro_XSS and
others
7 - Assign Employee role from PCD to your Portal user and assign the relevant profile to your backend user in ECC.
8 - Use transaction pa30 to add a communications infotype entry to map your username to an employee in the hierarchy.

SAP BPC 7.0 - Microsoft Platform - SP Upgrade Question

Hi Experts,
I was tasked to upgrade the SP of our client's SAP BPC 7.0 -Microsoft Platform System from Release 7.0.116 (SP07) to SP09. Details are below
Prod System:
Multi Server : 2 Servers
Application Server:
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Ed SP2 32-Bit
IIS Web Server
SAP BPC 7.0 Release 7.0.116
Database Server:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 64-Bit
MS SQL 2008 64-Bit
My question, since Server Manager Version 7.0.116 is equal to SP07, do i need to download SP08 and SP09, and then apply SP08, and the underlying patch on top of SP08, then SP09, or can i just simply download only SP09 and then install it only in our App Server, since it was mention in the Upgrade Guide that SP of SAP BPC are cumulative. And if there are any configuration settings that i need to take unto consideration? I'm new to this one since I'm accustomed of SP Upgrade in SAP ECC Systems in TxCode SPAM.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
After performing the steps Nilanjan suggested you may want to look at the Post-Installation Steps recommended by SAP. They are as below:
Post-Installation Steps
1. If you already have an application set in your previous version, do the following:
a) After installing this support package, update existing reports by choosing Publish Report on the Web Administration page.
b) If you have already enabled Insight, update existing reports by choosing Build Report on the Insight Dashboard page.
c) To apply fixes available for business rules, choose Modify Application within the Administration Console. Do not select options related to desired application.
2. This support package contains an appset parameter called RETRIEVE_ON_OFFLINE. To restrict data retrieval while an application set is unavailable, access the Appset Parameter page within Web Administration, then add a key named RETRIEVE_ON_OFFLINE with one of the following values:
1, which allows retrieval or data export while the application set is unavailable.
0, which prevents retrieval or data export while the application set is unavailable.
Log off and then logon to BPC for Office if the system offline message displays after setting the application set to Available. This downloads the dimension cache file if a dimension member or structure has changed while the system was offline.
3. We recommend changing the syntax of dimension formulas related to CSS message [IM 1249006] Data Integrity Issue with Account dimension / 4 Hierarchies as follows:
a) Use [%dimension%].[%current hierarchy%].CurrentMember. Level.Ordinal>0 instead of [%dimension%].[%the other hierarchy%].[All %dimension%.%the other hierarchy%] in dimension formulas to check the status of the current view of the current hierarchy because the current member may have been changed as a member of another hierarchy within multiple hierarchy dimensions.
b) Use 0 (zero) instead of NULL in IIF statements when the member from the current view does not match the condition of the IIF statement, as NULL may return an incorrect value. For example, if the hierarchy is the third hierarchy, #iif([Account].[H3].CurrentMember.Level.Ordinal>0,%Arg%, 0).
4. To run the Management Console in multiple server environments, change Authentication and Access Control of the ManagementConsole virtual directory in IIS from Integrated Windows Authentication to Basic Authentication. You can find the virtual directory on the Application server in the Directory Security tab of the virtual directory's property in IIS.
Hope this helps.

Upgrade SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP4 to SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP8

Hello,
I want to make an Upgrade from SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP4 to SAP BPC 7.5 NW SP8 and i need to know what are the consideration to make that.
Do you have any suggestion, link or information to get this activity?
Best regards

Hello,
As far as I know, you don't need to perform all configuration steps from SP04 to SP08 in ABAP tier, but it is good to check if everything is ok.
You can also check upgrade guide available at http://service.sap.com/instguidesEPM-BPC (choose 7.5 version for SAP NetWeaver).
Regarding Apshell: sometimes a few changes are made in the way things work in the backend (logic) and of course, some improvements also. These changes can be reflected in Apshell, so yes, every time you upgrade you must recreate apshell executing UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT as described in installation guide (also available at the above link).
If you have any problems during apshell activation in SP08, check this thread: Issues on Activating Apshell on BPC Netweaver 7.5 SP08
It is already available Patch 1 for BPC Client and for BPC .Net server, you should also consider applying it (release note is 1597464).
Hope it helps!

NEW TO SAP BPC - Advice on Data Management Packages

Hi,
I am an experienced Microsoft BI User, but am new to SAP BPC.
I am working on a project that has required me to create custom SSIS packages for my client. To date my packages transform / cleanse and format the source into a clean CSV file, that requires no further intervention from the user, other than to use the standard SAP BPC Import Routine, with a simple Transformation file.
In order to fully automate the process, I would like my Custom package to automatically invoke the Standard import package without any user based intervention.
Can anyone advise on this?
I have considered writing further logic in my custom package that would completely bypass SAP BPC Data Manager, and insert the information direclty into the Fact Tables, taking into consideration any members that don't exist in the Dimensions. However, I would prefer not to go down this route unless absolutely necessary.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, so that I can call a clear routine from within my custom package, that would invoke a SAP BPC package /task to clear certain data from the fact table, and then call another Package / task that would update the Fact table based on a fully prepared csv file.
Many thanks

You could modify your custom package to perform all the steps thru BPC import and have the user initiate the Package from the BPC Data Manager. You would just need to add a MODIFYSCRIPT variable (see the standard IMPORT package as an example) and add the BPC tasks required to Convert/Load that data your package already prepares.
I have had prior success having a custom package initiated from within the BPC Data Manager extract data from an external data source (ie: Oracle), use user provided runtime input to customize data extraction parameters, manipulate the extracted data, and import it into BPC.
Unfortunately I've never attempted to initiate a BPC task without the package being initiated from within BPC. But I would surmise that if you provide the proper values for the individual BPC Tasks (ie: Convert and Load) required properties (ie: AppSet, App, User,...), I cannot think why it would not work.

CA-JVA on the upgrade 46C to ECC 6.0 (with HR module)

Hi experts,
We have now finished the upgarde but ne things make me feel not good:
In SAP Note 316815 - CA-JVA: Upgr. R/3 Enterprise / ECC- data transfer AFVC->AFVU
I think the transfer of those tables has not been worked fine.
And it seems that the implementation of this note does not woks at all. I mean to transfer of the Tables (AFVC to AFVU and VSAFVC_CN to VSAFVU_CN) before the upgrade and transfer them back after the upgrade.
Currently we have now both systems running: The Source system (the production system where the data comes from with release 4.6C) and the pilot system which has been upgraded in release ECC 6.0 (with source system data).
Is there any possibily to recover this step without to repeat the all upgrade (after a DB copy of course)?
Maybe export those tables?
Thanks in advance

I have to close it.. without answer from anyone...

Refresh/Copy of SAP BPC/HANA Environment

Hi experts,
We are running SAP BPC on HANA with BW as our EDW. We would like to refresh our Regression environment with Production. However, i understand that with HANA technology the refresh may not be as simple as just a copy exercise.
Could you please advise on what are the steps or procedures that we need to take note of when undertaking such an exercise?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
TL

Hi TL,
What kind of refresh you are talking about: is it BPC Backup & Restore or system backup and restore?
If it's BPC tool then you shouldn't see any difference from similar procedure on another DB.
If it's HANA backup and restore then it's a completely different thing depending if your HANA box is co-habituated or not.
Please clarify.

Gersh
