Write from SEM BPS in a infoobject in BW

Hi there,
does anyone know how to write from SEM BPS into an infObject in BW?
Many thanks and regards,
Antonino

Hi David,
integrating BPS Web Interface with a custom BSP application works fine. There's one thing that you have to remember, however. BPS buffers master data access. So if you change the attribute of existing master data entries, those changes will not be active until you exit the BPS Web Interface and restart it.

How to do a Retractor to send data from SEM-BPS to R/3

Hi Folks!
Can someone say to me how to do a Retractor, step by step, to send data from SEM-BPS to R/3.
Thanks a lot in advance for your input!
Rocío.

Hi Thorsten,
Yes, I know it. But I didn´t want make it make through queries.
I have read than for CO-PA there are standard functions that send the data to R/3, but I cannot make they work to me.
And in addition I will need to also create other Retractors for RRHH, and there are not standard functions.
For that reason I needed know how to create a Retractor step by step.

How to Remove totals on few columns from SEM BPS layout

On SEM BPS layout it has 10 5 charatestics columns
and 10 key figure columns.
out of these key figures I want see totals on some
coulmns and for few columns I do not want to see totals.
for wxample it does not make sense of seeing total under
the salary incrase percentage coulmn.
Please suggest anyway we can remove total for some
columns on the layout

Hey, thanks -- everything worked as you described. It never would have occurred to me that the "put back" button refers to the browser selection not the layout selection, for reasons I give below.
I think Aperture exhibits some conceptual confusion here. First of all, a "light table" is created by the New > Light Table command, and you add images to the newly created light table just as you would add them to an album. But those images don't go on the light table layout until you drag them from the browser to the layout table. The "put back" button and "remove from light table" contextual menu command both mean remove from the layout. The phrasing of the contextual menu command make it sounds as if it will remove the clicked image from the light table's collection of images, like removing an image from an album -- it would have made more sense to name this command "put back". Furthermore, the "put back" button is above the layout display, not above the browser, which to me implies that it applies to selections in the layout display. To select an image in the browser, and click "put back selected" seems backwards -- if you just selected the image in the browser, your attention is focused on the browser, not the layout; from the browser's point of view, the button should read "bring back" not "put back".
The documentation didn't really help when I was trying to figure this out. Sometimes the Aperture documentation refers to just a "light table", as on the overview on page 732. On pages 733 and 734, though, it refers to a "light table album". On page 735 of the Aperture manual there is a very brief explanation of how "to add images to the light table" and "to remove an image from the light table". Here, "light table" refers to the layout not the album. The explanation of the "Put Back Selected" button says to select an image then click the button, and the picture shown is of an image selected in the layout, not in the browser.

Problems in BW Report from a Transact Cube feed from SEM BPS

Hi,
I created a Transactional Infocube in BW with 5 characteristics and 2 ratios. After that in the Planning Workbench, I Created a Planning Area, Planning Level, Planning Package, Manual Planning and a Delete Planning Function (That erase the selected register with 5 variables that are defined in the Planning Area). After that I created a Web Interface with the Web Interface Builder and everithing is working fine!!! When I execute my FunctionButton in the Web it erase the register.
The problem is that it creates another register in the InfoCube with the oposite values in the ratios and the same caractheristics instead of really erase the register. When I execute a BW report it shows registers with cero (0) in the ratios in the registers that i have deleted from the Web Interface in BPS and I want that these registers don´t be shown.
How can I do for not showing these registers in the BW report?
Waiting a soon help!
Regards,
Luis Jorge Castro

Luis,
When you delete in BPS, BPS does not delete the record but creates the offsetting entry as you have found. If you do not need to know if a value had been there before, you can also compress the cube with zero elimination as well as suppressing the zero record in BEx.
If you suppress zeros in BEx, the records still exist and if you further process the data/package, it will loop through all the records which may zero out and have zero effect but still take time to process. If you compress the cube, it would compact it down to 1 record or no record at all for the sum to zero scenerio. This has less records to process.
Hope this helps,
Mary

Changes are not reflected into SEM-BPS 1 layout.

Hi,
1st, I've included code in SAPAfterDataPut that copies data from SEM-BPS 1 into New Sheet.
Now, I've inserted a method in the sheet module of New Sheet. This method takes care of reflecting changes from New Sheet into SEM-BPS 1 layout. but, finally am not getting changes back to SEM-BPS 1 sheet.
I've tested this in excel (outside of BPS) and it works fine.
in BPS, I went into VB debugging mode (after inserting a break point) and I can see that change that has been made in New Sheet was reflected back to SEM-BPS 1. But, when i test the same out of debugging mode, am not getting the same result.
Looks like,after changes in New Sheet, SAPAfterDataPut is again being executed and is overwriting the changes that I made in new sheet.
Do i need to inlclude code only in SAPBeforeDataPut to reflect changes from new Sheet into SEM-BPS 1?
In excel (outside of BPS), this method works in such a way that, as soon as i make changes in Sheet2 will get reflected into Sheet1 without runnning any macro.
but, with same code, this doesn't work in BPS. (instead of reflecting changes to SEM-BPS 1, changed value in New Sheet is reverted back to original value that is same as the value in SEM-BPS 1)
Appreciate any ideas/thoughts on this.

Hi,
Usually you work with a second sheet in the following way: write a macro that copies the data from the SEM-BPS 1 sheet to the new sheet. In order to run that macro include it into the macro "SAPAfterDataPut" and set the flag in the check box of in the popup of the third screen of the layout builder. The system will call the macro after the data has been written to the sheet SEM-BPS 1.
There is a second predefined macro that the system will executed provided that the flag is set on the popup in the layout builder. This macro is called "SAPBeforeDataGet". It is called before the BPS reads data from the SEM-BPS 1 and should be used for transferring the data back to the first screen (similar to the coding you have done in SAPAfterDataPut). Using this macro should solve your problem.
I did not understand how the changes are transferred from the new sheet in your (stand alone) case. Unfortunately it sometimes does make a difference if you test a macro in a stand alone Excel or in the Excel inplace. Some features are disabled in Excel Inplace (by Microsoft!!).

Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

Hi BPS experts,
After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>
Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
Kind regards,
Lars

BW SEM-BPS API functions from a Web Dynpro project in Netweaver

Hi,
Rather than using the standard Web Interface Builder in BW SEM-BPS (3.1B), we have to use SAP Netweaver to create a Web Dynpro project which accesses all the API_SEMBPS functions, such as GETDATA, SETDATA, FUNCTION_EXECUTE etc. Has anyone done this before? If so, do you have any examples, hints?
Regards,
Linda Lee

Hello Linda,
let me add some more remarks on this topic from the BW-BPS development perspective:
I completely agree with Marc's statement.
Thechnically it is possible to build a planning application UI on top of the BW-BPS API functions and we have some customers that are live with such a solution. However, I would recommend this only in 2 cases
1. You need to create a tightly integrated application with BPS being only one part of several other components (including transactional UI, e.g. running against a CRM system).
2. You prefer a UI technology that is not provided by SAP (e.g. Java Swing based).
In all other cases, I would say that one should stick to the Web Interface created with Web interface Builder, mainly for cost reasons. If this tool does not fulfill all your needs there are several possibilities to enhance and extend the generated web interfaces by custom specific coding (see also several How-To guides in this area; e.g. "How to integrate a BEx Web Template into a BPS Web interface").
Another possibility is to loosly couple several web UIs with the help of the portal.
To my knowledge, it is not true that BSP web technology will be obsolete shortly.
In general, I would always prefer a tool supported, model driven approach compared to a heavy custom coding. This is also in sync with SAPs general strategy to a more pattern based approach to create UIs.

Re: SEM BPS Upgrade from version 3.1 to 6.0

Hello,
Has anyone involved in an SEM BPS upgrade; especially from 3.1 to 6.0? Would you please give a check list of the processes/methods to be followd?
Many thanks
Rj

Hello Rj,
in general this upgrade should not cause much pain since BPS basically remained the same and no migration is required. Assuming you don't use any other SEM components, you should perform a run through of all of your planning apps.
The devil is in the details (like custom coding or JavaScript)...

Start SEM BPS from scratch

Hi Friends,
If you have SAP BW stuff (Infocubes) in place and you are required to start planning in SEM BPS from scratch, then how and where exactly do we need to start. Both SEM and BW are on the same machine. Any information, on all types of things to be taken care of, will be appreciated.
Versions: SAP BW 3.0B, SEM 3.1B
I hope that i made sense.
Regards.

Hi Gopi,
maybe the teched lesson on planning with BW-BPS are a good starting point (also if you do not have the latest release): https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/events.sdn?page=teched04_sessions.htm
A list of overview documents can be found here in the BI area: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/bi.sdn?page=bw_bps.htm
Enjoy,

Report on process chains using SEM-BPS

We are looking to develop a tool to:
1. Monitor data loads at the process chain level
2. Within in the same tool, enter error resolution /
action steps for all failed loads
3. Report out % of successful or failed loads, using the data captured by the tool.
We have studied the BW Tables rspcchain, rspcchainattr, rspclogchain, rspcprocesslog, rspclogs, rseventchain and
rspcchaint.
We are considering the following options:
1. Develop an ABAP report and allowing the process chain monitor to manually enter the error resolutions (Perhaps in a Z-Table)
2. Create an InfoCube in BW using the above tables and then write a query, but we can not allow the user to enter error resolutions in the query.
3. Create a transactional infocube in SEM-BPS using the above tables and use the input functionality of tansactional infocube to facilitate the error resolution report entry.
Can anyone suggest any alternate solution, or has anyone encountered similar requirement on project?
One more doubt to check: is there any way to create an infoobject with CHAR type to enter data with 1000 or more characters? Or is there any other alternative solution to it? The doubt is to take care of the text entry for the error resolution.
Milind Vad

Just some thoughts:
Have you considered using document service in BW or even KM (Portal) technology rather than CHAR 1000+ fields? This would give you more flexibility also on the type of document.
For loading there are monitors available (based on tables like RSMONMESS). If you are interested in loads only (and not other process types), maybe using information from the BW load monitor could be beneficial (like RSMONMESS) rather than the process chain stuff.
Maybe it's even worth having an InfoObjekt with a resolution code that links to a document describing the resolution with a key and whenever there is a new solution available create a new key with a new document. That would be most beneficial for reporting (like how many times has this problem / resolution occurred and the like).
Regards, Klaus

SEM-BPS Exam

I am planning to write to certification BW 3.5Version.I dont have any idea regarding SEM-BPS.
1.How many question can I expect from that topic?(Approximately)
2.Can I overcome the exam without knowledge of SEM-BPS.
3.I am planning to take the exam on 27th of september 2007.Is it enough time to prepare for exam(without having knowledge in SEM-BPS).If not How much time is preferable to take exam.
Thank you
Paul

U definitely have enough time
1) 10-19% out of 80 questions.
2) Remeber, you need to score 70%+ to be certified. If you are very confident about the rest of the section, you can. (I wont do that)
3) BPS (TBW45) is a 5 day course with SAP education. Thats enough time for a normal person to do it.

Analysis Authorization with SEM-BPS

Hi,
We have performed technical upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We want to migrate to BI 7.0 functionality phase wise.
We have SEM-BPS and now we want to migrate to Analysis Authorization of BI 7.0.
Once we have igrated to Analysis Authorization, will there be any impact on SEM-BPS? Can we still use SEM-BPS with New Analysis Authorizations? We do not want to move to BI-IP in near future?.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
UR

Dear UR,
Iu2019m going to try helping you,
In difference of reporting functionality, in planning, the data of an InfoCube is not just read; it is also changed or created.
There are two planning tools in BI: BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation), and BI Integrated Planning.
There are two main tcode: BPS0 and RSPLAN
There are three authorization objects to manage Integrated Planning:
S_RS_PL_ADMIN - Planning Administrator
S_RS_PL_PLANNER u2013 Planner
S_RS_PL_PLANMOD_D u2013 Planning Modeler (Development System)
The main object in the planning scenario is InfoCube real-time, where can available writing in small package that arrive in parallel. In some cases the security requirements for reporting and planning can be merging. In this case you need authorization object for checking planning, as authorization object above, and you need authorization object for using a query for planning requires as S_RS_COMP.
In addition to authorization for displaying data, the authorizations for changing data you need analysis authorization (the analysis authorization focus in the InfoProvider, no in Aggregation Level).
In your analysis authorization design for reporting stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 value. In the planning stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 and 02 values. As explain following:
Using the characteristics 0TCAACTVT (activity), you can restrict the authorization to different activities. Read (03) is set as the default activity; you must also assign the activity Change (02) for integrated planning.

Manual data change in SEM-BPS

Hello,
Dos somebody know how to find possibility of manual data change in the planning layout of SEM-BPS?
Thanks for answers.

Hello Svetlana,
When you meant "to add new (or change existing) data in a planning layout, you have to make use of the function module
API_SEMBPS_SETDATA.
The parameters what you have to pass are:
1) Planning area
2) Planning level (where your layout is defined)
3) Planning package
4) Planning Laoyut
5) Characteristic values of each row
Check the documentation of the Funtion Module (CTRL+F4).
1) Be sure to convert the key figure values in string format, otherwise you would get a runtime error.
2) Make sure that no two rows have same keys (characteristic value tuples)
3) Make sure that all the characteristic values are contained in the planning level (Check the filters)
A simple working example (ABAP Code) you have it from me when things dosen't go forwards.
Thanks and Good Luck!
