Why do we need InfoCubes for Planning Applications with BW 7.40 SP8 on HANA?

$
0
0

Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering why we still need to use InfoCubes in planning applications with BW 7.40 SP8 on HANA?

 

Searching the web and SCN, I found some interesting articles including the following:

 

- Improvements on SAP HANA-optimized planning with the Planning Applications Kit (PAK)

- Further Improvements on SAP HANA-optimized planning with the Planning Applications Kit in 2014

 

As far as I understand, with BW 7.40 SP8 on HANA there are no disadvantages of planning on DSO compared to planning on InfoCubes left.

The restriction on the number of key fields was removed, non-cummulative key figures can be used, planning of no aggregation key figures (NO2) is possible, the option 'Characteristic as Key Figure' allows planning of short texts, ...

 

We also want to use DSOs for planning with BPC 10.1 Unified.

 

Are there any disadvantages or restrictions of planning on DSO which make it necessary to use InfoCubes for planning scenarios with BPC 10.1 Unified and BW 7.40 SP8 on HANA?

 

Thanks in advance for your input,

Benjamin


Doubt on activation: BSANLY_BI_ACTIVATION

$

Hello All,

 

in our company are going to start a new project, SAP, SAP HANA + BW + IBP Finance.

 

It is the first time that we carry out a project with IBPF, and we must activate the module of IBP for finance (/ERP/SFIN_PLANNING). We have begun to apply the note: 1972819

 

But leave us some doubts in this respect:

 

  1. 1. When we proceed to the activation of the "Content Bundle - BSANLY_BI_ACTIVATION", also are activated all BW objects to IBP such as: InfoObjects, InfoCubes, planning functions,...? Or turn separately?

 

  1. 2. Once activated the "Content Bundle", all objects are properly running HANA, created the "Attribute Views", "Analytic Views" to get the data?

 

 

Us would help a lot for our implementation, be able to have a step by step guide for configuring IBP for Finance, we have not found a guide for the parameterization of IBP Finance. So that would be very helpful for us.

 

 

Thank you very much for your help!,

BI-IP Roles and Authorisation conflict

$
0
0

Dear all, Can anybody help me out by suggesting the solution. We have two roles one is planner and another is view only roles. The planner has given access at combination of members of character A & character B lets say A1 and B1 only. The view only roles have access at multiple members of these character A & B, i.e. A1, A2, A3 ...... & B1, B2, B3..... So When We attach the both roles to user X he gets unauthorised access for writing (02-change) access also for other than planner combinaiton i.e. A1&B1 that means user is able to change data for A1 & B2, A1 & B3 ....etc. Details of authorisaiton. Created a USR Role ="P" Included Authorisations of type object "V1" in the "P" Created a USR role = "D" Included the authorisation of type object "V2" in the "D" Object uses S_RS_AUTH for analysis authorisations we created analysis authorisations as below: "EM001" which defines values for Character A(A1) with Activity type 03 but doesnt define value for character B (Empty dimension). "EM002" which defines values for Character B(B1) with activity type 02 but doesnt define value for character A (Empty dimension). "EM101" which defines values for Character A(A1, A2, A3 ....) with Activity type 02 but doesnt define value for character B (Empty dimension). "EM102" which defines values for Character A( B1, B2, B3....) with activity type 02 but doesnt define value for character A (Empty dimension). EM001 & EM002 are used for Planner(P) for change data at only A1 & B1 level of combination. EM101 & EM102 is used for view only access(D) at combination of A1, A2, A3 .....& B1, B2, B3...... level of combination Reason for defining Character A & Character B in different analysis authorisations is there are hundreds values in Character A and Character B, so if I combine both the authorisations into one I may need to create those many times of authorisations for each combination of A&B values. To avoid that we created Character A values and character B values and combination of these attached in USR Both the roles are wokring fine in isolated. But when both roles (P&D)are given to user then user gets unauthorized access with activity (02-change) for other combinations like A1 & B2 which is not expected. It is come to known that both(P&D) authorizations are defined under common S_RS_AUTH transaction. hence the empty dimensions in analysis authorization are taking values from all other authorizations which are also under same transaction (S_RS_AUTH) Can anybody help how to meet this business requirement and if a user is given a planner (P) role and View only Roles (D) then roles should work independently. there should not be any intermingling. Or do I need need to change the structure of the authorisations.

Read messages issued by planning sequence

Hi,

 

I have a planinng sequence with a planning function (FOX) that issues error message (Z messages defined by me using MESSAGE statement in FOX).

For example: Product AAA is not valid because bla bla ...

It is posiible that I have 100 errors with different products.

 

I want to read the details of these messages (using ABAP FM, class etc.) and use it as per my further needs (for example combine a list of erroneous products, show them in some table and when user hits particular product from this list I'm gonna set a focus on that product in the planning screen).

 

Is is possible - I mean to read the details of issued messages using ABAP?

 

We are in 7.4, SP12, HANA, using PAK.

Hello,

 

I am using a function planning of type Distribution by Reference, I need to exclude some infoobjects in the reference data, or to search in all (total) members of a particular infoobject. A kind of aggregate the reference data according to an infoobject.

 

Is there any way to do this ?

Hi All-

 

I am not able to lock the data when I am using two structures in SAP Bex query.

I have a local filter in a structure with Key figure. I expected that should take significance and should lock the data.

Since I have two structures, it is taking only what I use only in global filter in bex.

Can you please suggest if there is any workaround for this.

 

Thanks

Integrated Business Planning - IBP for Finance Vs. IBP for S & OPs ???

$

Dear All,

 

I am a BPC 10.0 Consultant. Recently, BPC tool is going thru lots of changes - from 10.0 to 10.1 and then to IBP for Finance( Embedded BPC??? ). On the other hand, there is a separate version of IBP for SCM(  Supply Chain Management - S & OP   ).

 

Would like to know if SAP is going to maintain separate IBP version for Finance and SCM.

 

If so, what is the latest version of IBP for Finance and SCM ?

 

Are there separate version of IBP for Finance - one for S/4 HANA and the other for non-HANA environment ?

 

Is there any certification program for IBP on the Finance side?

 

Thanks in advance for the clarification!

User Entry in Web-Dynpro for Planning 10.1

$
0
0

We have built a web-dynpro out of which we wish to add the functionality of executing a planning sequence (BPC10.1).

 

We thereby want to allow the user to manually enter values for certain characteristics, values which need to be brought back to the filter/planning function in the planning sequence (e.g. the user manually enters 'A' as "Copy From" and 'B' as "Copy To" for the function of copying values from company A to company B ).

 

We know how to integrate a planning sequence in the web-dynpro (e.g. by button), but how can the interaction with the manual entry by the user be modelled most efficiently?

 

 

It thereby does not matter if the the user performs the manual entry before or after actioning the button for the planning sequence.

how to read a variable value out of filter in the query in the planning function type

$

Hi Experts,

 

I have a query in which I need to copy a column in another one.

I have selected the char. 0CURRENCY in the filter on EUR, #, SEK and an editable variable.

I need this kind of selection for other functionalities in the query.

For my planning function I do need only the value which is selected by the user means only the value of the editable variable.

When I start my planning function ( planning function type) I unfortunately get all those values of the currency in  i_t_data_charsel and my planning function doesn't work properly. When I through all the other currencies away from my filter so that I only have the variable in the filter the planning function works fine. But this is not what I need as I have to have other currencies in my filter for my other functionalities in the query.

Is there any possiblity to read only the value of the variable ( which has been selected by the user )in the planning function so that I can ignore the other currencies in the planning function?

 

I would really appreciate any help and advices.

 

Kind regards,

Characteristic Derivation in Embedded Analytics: how to best?

$
0
0

Our requirement for characteristic derivation is based on the content of an embedded characteristic (/ERP/...) as the source.

 

The basic idea is to implement this through IF_RSPLS_CR_EXIT_HDB in a class derived from CL_RSPLS_CR_EXIT_BASE with the logic contained in a SQL-script executed via AMDP.

 

Our concern is that apparently the SQL script solution should be seen as a complement to the ABAP solution which should always be implemented since the push-down is not guaranteed to take place.


At least this is what I have understood from several sources including this excellent thread on the subject Derivation in HANA

 

Thus, given that the source characteristic is an embedded (/ERP/...) an ABAP 'SELECT' on the IOBJ P-table is not possible and therefore is seems as if the only alternative is to 'SELECT' on the (ERP) source tables involved thereby emulating the HANA-view.

 

Is this approach correct?

 

My concerns are:

- the duplicate development and maintenance effort

- the negative performance effect if the source tables are large

- if the logic (e.g. filter) in the HANA-view is changed, these changes will have to also be made manually in the derivation logic
