Dear community
I try to install SAP BPC 10 MS on SQL Server 2012. First consideration is, that the installer only offers me to install on SQL Server 2008 R2. When I try to go ahead the system says that installation on SQL is not possible.
I just downloaded the latest version on the SAP website.
Can somebody help out with this or do I have to go over 2008 R2 and then upgrade?
Thanks

Hi,
I attach a very simple report where I' trying to create a local member containing a comment. Although the local member recongnition is on, it's not recognised as such. However, if I in the same cell enter a formula, it's treated as a local member. It doesn't matter if I in the epmcomment formula refer to members in the report; it's still not recognised.
Anyone else came across this? (We're on v10 MS, SP13)

Dear Experts,
I recently installed SAP BPC 10 MS on one of our servers without any problems.
After finishing the installation I tried to install the EPM Add-Inn - without any success.
If I use the big volume of the EPM, available on SMP, the installation will be successful, but the EPM doesn't appear in the BPC home screen. The Excel add-inn is available and a connection to BPC is possible, but only from Excel directly, since it doesn't appear in BPC home or admin console.
If I use the client version of the EPM, available on SMP as well, the installation will be successful and the EPM appears in BPC home screen, but the add-inn is not installed for Excel and a launch from BPC home or admin console fails.
Any suggestions how to handle this issue? I never experienced this problem.
Thank you in advance,
Karsten

Hi all,
Currently, we are using BPC 7.5 MS SP11.
We are trying to use OLAPLOOKUP to pull data stored on 936212H_RC and 936252H_RC.
These 2 peoplemgt accounts are not baselevel accounts, but accounts calculated with MDX in the formular property of the dimension.
The created logic looks like below:
*include system_constants.lgl
*process_each_member=TIME
*Clear_destination
*xdim_memberset RCPeoplemgt=936212_keyfig_RC,936252H_rc,936212H_rc,930_rc
*OLAPLOOKUP Peoplemgt_ytd
*Dim rcpeoplemgt ="936212H_rc","936252H_rc"
*ENDLOOKUP
*COMMIT_EACH_MEMBER = time
*SELECTCASE time.currentmember.properties("PERIOD")
*CASE "JAN"
[ACCOUNTDIM].[#936212_keyfig_RC]=([ACCOUNTDIM].[936212H_RC],[MEASURES].[PERIODIC]) * (([ACCOUNTDIM].[930_RC]+ ([ ACCOUNTDIM].[930_RC],time.currentmember.lag(1)))/2) * ([ACCOUNTDIM].[936252H_RC],[MEASURES].[PERIODIC])
*CASEELSE
[ACCOUNTDIM].[#936212_keyfig_RC]=([ACCOUNTDIM].[936261_RC],time.currentmember.lag(1)) + (([ACCOUNTDIM].[936212H_RC],[MEASURES].[PERIODIC]) * (([ACCOUNTDIM].[930_RC]+ ([ ACCOUNTDIM].[930_RC],time.currentmember.lag(1)))/2) * ([ACCOUNTDIM].[936252H_RC],[MEASURES].[PERIODIC]) )
*ENDSELECT
*COMMIT
However, below error returned when running it, although 936212H_RC was verified and does exist in the olap cube.
Error in step 1 of QueryCubeAndDebug: -2147467259 Query (5, 43) The hierarchy '[936212H_RC"]' was not found in the cube when the string, [RCPEOPLEMGT].[936212H_RC"], was parsed.
Can you please advise if OLAPLOOKUP can be used for sap bpc7.5M? Or if so, please advise the cause of the error message.
You help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,Wai Yee

I know on BPC MS 7.5 after 3 hierarchies in a dimension we can have performance issues. Is it the same on BPC 10 MS ?? Do you know if we have limitation or performance issue if we have more than 3 hierarchies ?
Hi,
We've had several scripts that were suddenly not writting all records to the database but appeared to run successfully based on the status monitor and package log files. We have subsequently been advised by previous consultants we've used that we should bounce the server and rerun... which we did, and all records were then written and our reconciliations were clean.
Has any other customers experienced this type of issue where you either have to:
1 - Rerun the same script 2 or more times in order for it to fully write all records it calculates to the database
or
2 - Need to reboot the server and then rerun the script a second time (or more...) before it finally completes and writes everything successfully to the database for all calculated records.
This is a major issue we are also opening a ticket for with SAP directly, so we appreciate any feedback you may have.... sooner the better ;-)
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Dears,
I'm facing a bit of an issue here, i'm trying to connect EPM addin by using Single Sign On with AD credentials that are stored on CMC, BI components seems to work perfectly on BI side but not EPM addin, when we try to login we get Error code 401 "Not authorized".
Any ideas on how to fix this issue.
Thank you,

I came across the EvSUB function while researching a solution to a problem I was having trying to include sub-totals and totals in one single report. I tried using the function in a report and could not get it to work when expanding. Can someone shed some on this function or provide an example of how it can be used.

Hi Experts,
I'm working with SAP BPC 10 MS and I find a problem related with journals.
I follow these steps:
1. Post one journal entry in the system using web admin interface.
2. Then in excel interface choose Data Manager >Organize package list
3. Right click in the yellow area → Add package → Select →Business Planning and Consolidation: Other Function → BPC: Export Journal
4. Add the BPC: Export Journal package to your Model
5. Use the same process to add the BPC: Restore Journal package to your Model
6. Execute the package BPC: Export Journal to generate the flat file
7. Insert new journal IDs into the flat file, but keeping the existing.
8. Create parameter ALLOW_EXTENSION and include JRN extension.
9. Upload the flat file modified.
10. Execute the package BPC: Restore Journal to upload the new journal.
11. But Restore Journal package fails showing this message: The Journal table has data. Restore cannot continue
Do you know if it is possible to upload new journal through flat file?
Thank you.

Hi all,
I have a requirement to work on input template in MS BPC.
Could anyone please guide me how to develop it in the input template.
my requirement is, row having entity members and columns have account,time,category dimension members. we will have to forecast for every account member based on last two years. for each account member we need to calculate growth(it's excel logic). like to enter forecast values for more than 50 account members.
are there any better ways than multiple key ranges for doing this??
Please see the sample template.
Thanks,

Hi,
We have the script below which is working properly when writting to the Database for January through November, but for some reason it isn't writing to December... or I should say, it's writing to December but is writing a zero. I'm not sure if it's an error in the logic or I'm missing something in the basic math that it should be using from the database values.
I know December has data stored for the information it's using to recalculate and populate the 90025 account to 2014.DEC at the end of the script below, but maybe someone on the forumn can identify where the code or logic is going off the rails.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

We have a script which works fine in our MS version 7 environment, but in version 10 I'm getting the error below. Before I start troubleshooting the script directly, can anyone tell me more details about the Package Log below with the error "Output file name is empty", and what may be setup incorrectly in the Package Script also below. If you need more specifics, please advise. The script that is being run by this package is fairly stright forward and calculates FTEs based on two accounts.

Hi
we running the above mention SAP environment.Recently we have started to experience serious performance degradation.Our clients use Terminal Service(Server 2003). We have a BPC server,Terminal Server and the DB server (that house DB and Analysis server)
I run the BPC Optimize with Index defragmentation almost twice a week.Our disk space is atleast on all servers is at 50% free space.
We only have upto 8 users active on at all times throughout the day.
We have enough memory ,almost 50%usage at all times.
I was thinking of going the ,hardcoreDBA optmization techniques(set baseline,measure CPU usage,memory disk space,network performance etc.
Are there any other considerations I could make inorder to improve my system's performance from a SAP perspective.

Kindly help and advise...
