What is the roadmap for BI-IP product w.r.t BPC

is it true that BPC will replace or serve the same function as BI-IP?
IF SO,
what is the rationale for such quick product replacement and what is the future direction for this planning product IP?
not long ago there is BW3.5 . then came BI 7 recently and that comes with IP, and now BPC in such a short span of time?
please share your views.

Hi,
First of all I would like to recommend you the relvant forum for all topics related to CPM:
You might get your answers refering to BPC and/or CPM more quickly and more precise at this forum:
Expert Forums » Business Process Expert » Corporate Performance Management
I welcome you to have a look there.
I did a quick research there and I found some information which might be interesting for you. You can find more about this at the following blog:

Recommendations to existing customers
2007-07-10 20:35:28 Muthu Ranganathan Business Card Reply
As indicated earlier to another response in the blog, SAP would continue to support BPS,as per the existing maintenance arrangements. As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0, BI Integrated Planning (BI-IP) replaced BPS, so BPS is no longer being developed any further.Development plans for BI Integrated Planning will be unchanged by the OutlookSoft acquisition as BI-IP will continue to be SAP’s long-term planning infrastructure.SAP Strategy Management is SAP’s strategic nextgeneration
product in that category(scorcarding/strategy). However SAP would continue to support BSC as per the existing maintenance arrangements.
Some additional elements to each of the question:
1. Do we stop all new development in these products and start utilizing the new CPM product offerings right away?
If you already have implemented element of SEM, the maintenance allows you based on a SEM 6.0 (mySAP ERP 2005) to work on maintained product until 2013. Applications of the CPM suite are of course the recommended path for new customer, however, as each customer situation is different, I would recommend to use your local SAP contact to discuss these issues.
2. Do we continue new development in the old products and convert in the future (when the new CPM suite has stabilized and SAP has stopped further acquisitions)?
Each products of the CPM suite are now available in a stabilized and mature version, however the integration and Netweaver as a unified platform is not available. So it is more about integration than about stabilization. For more insight on the SAP roadmap again get in touch with your SAP contact.
3. Do we stop all new development in these products and use alternative SAP products like BI integreted planning, Visual composer etc. which are more mature than the new CPM products and are not scheduled for obsolesence like SEM and BPS? Then in the future we migrate to the new CPM suite when it is stabilized?
BI integrated Planning and Visual Composer are part of the technical infrastructure in Netweaver, whereas CPM elements are Application designed for performance management and with business user centric concepts. Again these products are fully matured and stabilized and the roadmap of the CPM group is to unify the technology platform and get the convergence of all Planning and Consolidation tools.
Thanks

So I hope I could help you at least a bit,

  • What is the process for reinstalling my product to a new laptop?

    Hello,
    I purchased  Adobe Acrobat Professional version 9 Win on Dec 2, 2011.It was installed in my old laptop and now want install it in my new laptop. How to go about this, just want to know the process for re installation. Is the installation restricted to only one laptop?
    Thanks.
    Honory

    Hi honorary2009_mangi,
    You need to deactivate the software from the older machine before installing it on the new machine else it will increase the activation count.
    To deactivate the software you need to launch Acrobat, go to 'Help' menu and select 'Deactivate'
    Please refer : Activation & Deactivation Help
    As per the End User License Agreement (EULA), a retail license is good to be installed on 2 computers.

  • Whats on the roadmap for NBAR

    I have started using NBAR on the routers and think it is good, but it needs to have a few enhancments.
    eg how about SAP traffic, I know the ports are variable for SAP but usually
    between 3200 and 3210 ..it would be good when defining the ports, if we could use "range" as in the ACLs
    also what about terminal services on port 3389
    Windows 2000 DS on port 445.
    I generate the above by using custom pdlms, how about being able to rename the custom pdlms ?
    thanks
    Richard

    Try to install Cisco QDM there is a nice http option for QoS and it will use pdlm that you have. It is free on Ciso Site and it give You very easy generation of traffic policies and view how it wokrs.
    And same question:
    Do !!!!YOU!!!! generate custom PDLMS

  • What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.  Thanks

    As per adobe agent chat representative, the following question is posted on the fórum to obtain an answe from adobe.
    What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
    Thanks
    <moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

    Illustrator is not working as it should...
    I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application. 
    Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
    Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
    That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
    Thanks...
    PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

  • What is the Tcodes for Uploading of data using BDC & CATT

    PP members:
    I was going through the <b>cutover activities</b> ,  and what I understood is  we transfer all the legacy system data into SAP before going live
    The data upload follows certain steps (depends on the organizational design load strategies)
    First we upload all the master data ( material master, BOM, W/C's & Routings)
    Then the transaction data ( Ideally speaking, there should no open orders i.e. WIP as on the day of cutoff )
    If the WIP (Work in Process) is unavoidable then the materials consumed shall be treated as <b>materials of the previous stage</b> and necessary adjustments shall be made after cutover day
    At this point, I could not able to understand what does the author mean <b>materials of the previous stage</b>
    Now comming to the uploading of data into SAP from legacy system, we use tools like LSMW, CATT & BDC
    Is it a must to use <b>only LSMW tool</b> to upload master data or any other upload tools are fine
    Lastly,. I am not sure about the Tcode of CATT & BDC
    Summary of the questions:
    1.What does the author mean  <b>material of previous stage</b>, for WIP materials during cutover activities
    2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data
    3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC ?
    Thanks for your time
    Suren R

    Dear,
    1.What does the author mean material of previous stage, for WIP materials during cutover activities - as i understood, what is the stage of material..like it must have gone through 2 work centers and other 2 is left. i.e. you need to create Production order with only 2 operation as other 2 is already over. - usually it is done in such a way that we will create Production order and confirm till 2 operations and WIp is calculated so thatb FI will tally the books in SAP and lagacy.
    2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data - no you can use any tool as required and suits yr requirement
    3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC- BDC through a prog in SE38. CATT through - SCEM.

  • What is the number for Verizon Wireless  Corporate Customer Service Complaint for CA

    My Complaint:  I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for approx 20 years.  I called customer service to seek an early upgrade for my daughter's phone. She is away in college and her phone is malfunctioning.  She is eligible for an upgrade in approx 6 weeks so I did not want to spend the money on a replacement phone when since we were planning on updating to something newer.  The customer service rep to me they could not do the early upgrade an to call back in a few weeks. After explaining this was unacceptable (I do not like the idea of a young female being out of state and away from home with no reliable means of communication), she places me on hold to later return with the only offer of  I must purchase a new device through her ( over the phone) which will be shipped to me, the phone was priced $100.00 more than the online price (they will not price match), plus i must pay $30.00 upgrade fee, $35.00 activation fee and taxes on the retail price of the phone.  I am upset and disappointed with the quality of service provided by Verizon being a 20 year customer.  If not for the seriousness and urgency of this matter, i would not have asked for an early upgrade.  It is times such as these that you get to see how much of a "valued customer" you really are.   I guess you are valued as long as you pay your bill and continually  purchase their products.  I would like to speak with someone from Verizon's corporate or customer relations department.  As of now I am really considering changing my service to a different provider.  I have multiple accounts with Verizon and i will canx each after the current contract committment expire (starting with my daughter's phone which expires in 6 weeks) In the meantime I will go purchase her a new phone with someone else and take comfort knowing she will have reliable communication.

    I started with them in 1985. It has been wonderful service but very expensive. They seem to operate on day of deposit day of withdrawal. That means that I have no benefits nothing beyond the normal customer if I don't pay my bill they shut me off. That's why I have switch to another provider and I have better service lower cost and better phones. you can't beat  other providers I mean it. Please don't expect more from verizon other than a "pay me more money and I'll do what you want" because it's all about money. Read the transcripts from current Verizon employees all over the internet. The company is going down and they're taking customers with them.

  • Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration?

    Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration? Do we have any Instructions/steps?

    Migration from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 can be  performed. If the customer wants to migrate data you need to first upgrade to  NCS 1.1.1  You can download NCS 1.1.1 from Cisco.com if you have a valid service  contract.
    For the migration step involving NCS an evaluation license is  sufficient.  You can obtain an NCS evaluation license from http://www.cisco.com/go/license >  Get Demo > Network Mgmt Products > Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation License.  
    Instructions for migrating data from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.1.1 are available in  NCS 1.1.1 Release Notes.  Do not upgrade to NCS 1.1.2 as this release is not  upgradeable to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.  If you are ordering a Cisco Prime  physical appliance (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9) be sure to select the NCS 1.1 image which  you can later upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 after you have migrated your  WCS data.
    There is a post in the support forum which can be refered.

    Thanks and Regards,

    As TAO deals with the testing aspect, a 3 system landscape is recommended:
    DEV : For unit testing
    QA:    For system testing and integrated testing
    PRD:   Has to be available for production usage
    You could also have a Pre-Prod for load and UAT.
