Xcelsius in SAP BPC 7.5 MS

Hi experts,
I have a couple of questions with regard to xcelsius in sap bpc 7.5 ms
I am using SAP BPC 7.5 MS AND Xcelsius 2008 sp5.
I already installed the required extended analyzer and EPM connector.
Now here are my questions
1st. I have a file named BPCDATAGRID.XLX, is it the same add ons that mentioned on the HTG? i tried adding this add on but everytime i add this file my xcelsius freeze. in short it was unsuccessful. Could you please teach me or tell me where or how to download the BPCDATA grid that was mentioned in the HTG?
2nd. Since i installed the extended analytic analyzer. im wondering why the function =GetReportDefinition() wouldn't work.
when i check the available functions of IDPrj.AnalyzerFuncs, it includes only two functions, namely AnalyzerOLAPMember and ButtonActionFormattingSheet. Will you please please please teach me how to deal with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sorin,
according to the guidlines, SAP posted in the wiki, for connecting SAP BPC to Xcelsius via XML connection I have to connect the XcelsiusService.dll via .NET framework 1.1.4322.
This might not be the correct way anymore, but there is no other guide on how to connect BPC and Xcelsius.
Can you provide info on a other way of connecting BPC to Xcelsius?
Thanks in advance,
Harmen

Xcelsius with SAP BPC 7.0 MS

Hi all
I have installed SAP BPC 7.0 MS version. In addition to this, I have downloaded trial version of Xcelsius 2008 from SAP Partner Site to test its functionalities. I want to connect SAP BPC with Xcelsius and I am following the How-To guide to do the same. However, the option to create connections under Data menu in Xcelsius is disabled. Is it because I have a trial version or am I doing something wrong here?
Can someone from SAP please confirm?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi,
I too had similar problem initially and I found that I have installed the wrong version of Xcelsius. This might be the case. So please look into this.

SAP BPC MS 7.5 with Extended Analytic Analyzer and EPM connector

Hi experts,
I need your inputs regarding Extended Analytic Analyzer add ins.
I installed the SAP Business Object Extended Analytic Analyzer hoping to integrate the Xcelsius in SAP BPC MS 7.5
I am following the HTG to integrate but got lost.
In EPM connector steps, I cannot find the option from OPERATION TYPE: Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
The only options available under operation type are
EPM Report
Retrieve Environments
Retrieve Models
Retrieve Dimensions
Retrieve Dimension Members
Input Data
Retrieve Business Process Flows
Retrieve Context
Retrieve Members Property Values
RetrieveText From Library
It doesn't include the option Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
Im wondering if there are different version of the epm connector? Was my EPM connector differs from the HTG?
And also in Excel under Extended Analytic Analyzer, the function =GETREPORTDEFINITION() is missing
Please help me on this guys..
Thanks in advance.

It seems a very good oportunity to use FIM.
FIM was designed especially for exchange data betweeen different SAP product.
FIM will provide an easy way to do the conversion using wizards and also will assure you about data inetgrity and quality.
This will be the way forward but more details has to be define during the implementation.
I hope this will help you.

Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC

Hi Experts,
I am trying to use Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC.
I want following functionality in my dashboard:
1. There is a drop down in the dashboard for Year-Month selection.
2. Based on that selection, the BPC query to be refreshed for the selected month and my dashboard will show data for the selected month. While integrating with WebI using LiveOffice, we used to do this by binding the prompt to a cell in excel and selecting on demand refresh option. Can we do the similar thing while integrating with BPC ?
3. Can we create multiple BPC reports in the same excel file to build the excel model for my dashboard ?
Can these requirements be achieved by using Xcelsius on top of BPC using EPMConnector.xlx ?
Many thanks,
PASG

Hi Sanjay,
You need to use different operation types of the EPM Connector for this.
Have a look at this how to guide:

Reports from SAP BPC NW 7.5

Hi All,
Our Landscape:
SAP ECC EhP1
SAP BW 7.10
SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 (WebI/Crystal/Xcelsius)
SAP BPC NW 7.5
We are new to BPC. We would like to know where do we need to develope the reports on BPC data. Can some one help me on this. If some one have any best practices or options that where we can develope the reports, pls let me know
Like we can do reporting directly on BPC with only couple of reports from BW/BOBJ or all reports from BW/BOBJ.
Here we are planning to use BW as warehouse solution and BOBJ tools for reporitng on BW data.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
BPC is a planning & a reporting tool. It can also be used for Consolidation. As mentioned in the previous reply, the data in BW has to be made available in BPC Application (cube) to be able to report it out.
You might need to create transformation files and conversions files between your BW cubes and the BPC cubes to realise the data transfer to BPC application (cube). Note, BPC cubes are automatically generated when you create an application from the BPC front end.
Please refer to some good introductory blogs available on SDN to get to know the BPC terminology and BW terms. Then BPC has an reporting tool in itself. You can create reporting using EVDRE for example which displays the data landed in BPC cubes. This typically will have actual data (loaded from BW), plan data (planned through Input Schedules or flat file data loads).
Hope this give some brief idea.
Thanks

Tough Ask..
Because i have done dashboarding thru scritping (Dyanamic fashion tough) ..It is very good ..But when, coming to the one you asked i have the idea how it works but cannot really tell you wich would be better.
Each Route has its own limitations.That really depends on what exaclty your client is looking after..
So if you new to xcelsius and eager to learn ..I suggest you to give a go at all those..May be you can let me know wich is the best one..
1. QAWS,
2. Bex Query --> Crystal Reports --> Live office --> DashBoard.
3. Bex Query --> WebI --> Live Office --> Dashboard..
4. Webservices consuming BI Query,
5. Xcelsius SAP Netwever Connector.
But i suggest as of now use Xcelsius SAP netweaver Connnection...

How to use the RateEntity dimension in SAP BPC?

Hello everbody,
I am implementing a consolidation process using SAP BPC. I want to use the RateEntity dimension, to translate a same currency into different exchange rates depending on the company.
I want the company which ID is GFU (which is from Brazil) in LegalEntity dimension is converted using a special exchange rate. I have added a GFU member in RateEntity dimension, and I have entered the exchange rates for the member GFU and for the member Global in RateEntity dimension.
But the problem is that after I run the FX Restatement package, converted data for this company is not the proper one, because Global exchange rates have been used instead of GFU exchange rates. Does anybody know why? Do I have to do anything else?
Thank you very much for your time

Do you see the search functionality in the upper left of the screen?
Okay, now type in ecatt, press enter and in the next screen filter on blogs.

Performance issues with SAP BPC 7.0/7.5 (SP06, 07, 08) NW

Hi Experts
There are some performance issues with SAP BPC 7.5/7.0 NW, users are saying they are not getting data or there are some issues while getting data from R/3 system or ECC 6.0. Then what things do I need to consider to check, such as what DataSources or Cubes I need to check? So, how to solve this issue?
What things I need to consider for SAP NW BI 7.0 u2013 SAP BPC 7.5 NW (SP06, 07, 08) Implementation?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Qadeer

Hi,
New SP was released in February, and now most of the new bugs should been caught ,This has a Central Note. For SP06 it's Note 1527325 - Planning and Consolidation 7.5 SP06 NetWeaver Central Note to fix any issues. Most of the improvements in SP06 were related to performance, especially when logging on from the BPC clients.There you should be able to find a big list of fixes/improvements and Notes that describe those. Some of the Notes even have test description how to reproduce that issue in the old version.
hope this will help you

Custom Process Types not working in SAP BPC 10.0

Hi Experts,
We have migrated from SAP BPC 7.5 NW to SAP BPC 10.0 NW.
We have three Custom Process Types created in BPC 7.5NW using the super class CL_UJD_SIMPLE_ACTOR as super class.
It has been made Obsolete and Final class in BPC 10.0NW and the Custom Process types are not running as expected.
Can you please suggest if there is any alternative for using the existing custom process types? Or do we have any alternative for creating custom process types?
*Note: We have tried replacing the superclass with CL_UJD_ACTOR instead of CL_UJD_SIMPLE_ACTOR but of no use.
Regards,
Balraj.

3) How to make Unified model in to Auditable status? Currently my unified model is showing RED dot under Auditable status. Will it show GREEN if its Auditable ?
4) I am trying to create Input Template. I have navigated through "LIBRARY"-->"Input Forms" and then I have given input form name and Model name. But the "next" button is disabled because..its shows empty "No Data" for Name: and InforProvide. Its has "Search", "History", "All" options.
What should I do here?
5) Can we write a Script logic / BADI to perform a calculation in Unified model? Do we have Data Manager Packages in 10.1?

Questions on Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2

Hi Friends,
My company is Installing SAP BPC NW 7 SP2 and I am heading the project starting from 1st June. I have downloaded the Installation guide and still have few questions
1) On which client we deploy BPC server component, I mean on 000 or any other.
2) Initially we are doing on Sandbox, so we are using only one system for both ABAP and NET servers and we are using 64bit machine. How do I run 1.1 Net framework on it, I have read installation guide it says configure to WOW6432 but dont know how to do it
3) When we download the ABAP server component what format will it be .SAR or .CAR or any other
Please do reply.
Thanks in advance
Bobby

Hello Bobby,
1. You will install the BPC server component with SAINT, which has to be executed in client 000, but BPC will actually run in the client you designate for BW.
2. The following article discusses configuring ASP.NET 1.1 to run in 32 bit mode on a 64 bit system [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435]
3. The ABAP server component will be a SAR file.
Thank you,
Daniel

How to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the SAP BPC "three globes" startup screen when we start BPC. I do not want it to pop up.
I looked at VBA behind the workbooks but could not find anything. Could not make the sheet invisible.
Is there a way to get rid of the screen? This is the screenshot

Re: How to change the logo, (3 Globes) on the launch page
Posted: Mar 18, 2009 12:46 PM in response to: David Fletcher Reply
OK then, now v7sp03 for microsoft has hit the shelves, you can change the logo !!!
It is quite easy.
Have the logo file ready in either BMP, GIF or JPG format.
Put it in your "Server Install -> DataWebFolders[Appset]" folder (so where you keep your files).
In ApplicationSet parameters, add the parameter COMPANY_LOGO and in the options type the name of the file you just put on the server.
Now if you restart BPC for Excel, the second excel page that pops up should be showing your new logo or graphic (mine did).
The use of the logo has been documented in the admin manual -> working with appset parameters
Some tips.
I wanted not to clutter the filesystem so i put my logo in the appsetpublications folder and added the path accordingly in the parameter (so now it reads appsetpublicationslogoname.jpg instead of just logoname.jpg).
If you do not supply a name (only the parameter), your second Excel window (normally holding the graphic) will not appear. That could be an alternative too if you find that whole thing annoying.
Hope this helps you build great BPC apps,
Edwin van Geel
