BPC 7.5 INTERVIEW , CERTIFICATION QUESTIONS 1.Can you debug the data manager package ? Program: UJD_TEST_PACKAGE .

You must specify the User ID .The DM package can be selected with F4 . 2.How to debug the script logic ? UJKT Program UJK_SCRIPT_LOGIC_TESTER will allow you to test and debug script logic 3.START_BADI ROUND. CODE . ENDBADI. What is ROUND ? Technical name of the BADI. 4. startroutine = C1 endroutine = C2 What is C1 ? Badi filters. 5. Process performed by setting up two Excel files: Transformation file (required) .Conversion file (optional) DM package doesnt need a transformation file ?True or False. 6. When transformation option CONVERT_INTERNAL = NO, the external column refers to the source value, the internal column refers to the target dimension member you want to load into the application. When Convert_internal =YES, the external column refers to the target and the internal column refers to the source value. 7.Where you can use the Java script . Script logic Validation Transformation Conversion file

Answer; Conversion File 8.Can VB script be used in Netweaver BPC ? No VB script in NetweaverBPC . 9. Transformation file is selected during the run time of the import package. Transformation definitions are in Excel files that contain one worksheet named Instructions. The file is divided into 3 parts (*OPTIONS; *MAPPING, *CONVERSION)The transformation file references conversion files that may contain multiple worksheets. 10. Tip: The *COMMIT statement will end any execution scope defined by any previous *XDIM scoping statements. If your script logic needs to continue after a *COMMIT, you will need to re-scope by using additional *XDIM statements. 11.When validating a script logic file with a DM variable, the current response in a BPC75NW SP04 system (and earlier) is to error on the line containing the ${DataManagerVariable}$. This occurs due to the fact that the DM variable is not really defined until runtime, and the system cannot determine if the variable contains a correct value during the validation process. Therefore the best practice is to save the data file without validation and test for correct operation. 12. The IIF statement allows a conditional IF/Then/Else statement to be defined for MDX based syntax. The IIF statements cannot be include *REC commands, but can be used within MDX tuple expressions. 13. %{DimName}_SET%:A system generated keyword is available for each dimension. This keyword holds the set of members passed to the logic engine for a given dimension (i.e. the initial scope). This keyword can be used as a replacement string anywhere in the logic.The format of this keyword is: %{DimName}_SET% , where DimName is any valid dimension name in the application. For example: %P_ACCT_SET% for the dimension P_ACCT. 14.The *SELECT statement will be executed before any other statements regardless of its actual position in the script logic file.

15. WHEN/IS/REC/ENDWHEN cannot be written inside SELECTCASE/ENDSELECT .

16. Dynamic Properities such as HLEVEL, PARENTHn are not supported inside REC statement.

17. REC always needs to be accompained within WHEN/IS/ENDWHEN. Stand alone REC statements will not have any effects .

52.What is the difference between EVGTS and EVSND

EVGTS : The EvGTS (Get value and scale) function retrieves a data value based on the specified members, and scales the value if the scale property is enabled on the dimension. The report templates provided in the sample application set have a scale reference in the Control Panel area of the template. EVSND: EvSND This Send function references another cell and sends its value to the database when you select Send and Refresh Schedules.The parameters specify the dimensions that identify where the data value is to be sent in the database. EvSND returns the value from the database to the referenced cell. You do not need to add any EvGET functions to the sheet to return values to the cell. Since the values are returned to the referenced cell, BPC sends only the cells that have changed since the last send in the current session. By putting the formula in the EvSND cell and not in the input cells, you decrease the chances of your formulas getting overwritten or erased. To further protect the formulas, you may want to hide the EvSND cells in the input schedule.This function takes members that not specified from the current view settings.

53. XDIM_MEMBERSET doesot allow Properties.*SELECT is a second possibility to refer to properties needed in connection with the XDIM_MEMBERSET statement. XDIM_MEMBERSET doesot allow Properties. XDIM_FILTER is one possibility to reference properties within the scope.

143. REC always needs to be accompanied by WHEN / IS / ENDWHEN. Stand-alone REC statements do not have any effect. TRUE OR FALSE TRUE

144. *FOR / *NEXT

*FOR / *NEXT is used to repeat certain scripts written between a FOR and an immediate NEXT for a set

of members. Sets of members can be provided either directly in the FOR statement or through variable. The Logic Module supports any number of FORNEXT loops in the body of the logic files. The *FOR Statement has to be accompanied by a variable. In the Example %KPI% is the user defined variable which was used for the Loop.

145. The SELECT statement is fairly limited, as it only supports the equal sign (=) , not equal to (<>) and cannot be used to combine multiple filter criteria with AND or OR keywords.

146. SELECTCASE structures currently CANNOT be nested.

147. WHEN/ENDWHEN which has a much better performance then *SELECTCASE.

148. The syntax for dimension member formulas requires a square bracket around the dimension and the member and separated by a period. The only exception is with the account dimension, where only the dimension member is needed. Standard arithmetic functions are available, such as addition (+), subtraction (-),multiplication (*) and division (/), as are the MDX keywords supported by SAP NetWeaver BW. New with SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, upper and lower case letter sensitivity becomes important for dimensions and dimension members, sobe careful in your formulas!.

148. The SAP Business Planning and Consolidation default Solve_Order is equal to 3 for measures and 5 for members.

149. SPREAD:The Spread modeling option allows you to take a value and allocate it among selected destination cells. The value can be allocated equally, or it can be weighted by a range of values. For example, you can take the value 100 and spread it across a number of columns that represent each month of the year.

150. TREND:The Trend modeling option takes a value or percentage and grows it by a factor among selected cells. This option places the source value in the first cell of the destination range. Each subsequent cell in the destination increases by the amount or percentage specified.

151. WEIGHTED:The Weighted modeling option lets you allocate a set of values by weighted factors in your spreadsheet. It allows you to take a set of values, grow them if desired, and then allocate the new amount based on the relative weights of the selected cells. The destination range is the same as the weight range. For example, you can weigh 12 months of revenue based on 12 months of cost of sales.

161. The comment feature must be turned on at the Application level for both methods.

162. EVCOM - Add a comment to a cell .

163.Comments are stored in Cube DSO Real time cube Table Answer: Table

166. System Reports are pre-designed web reports, that allow you to report on system information/activity, rather than transaction/master data in the system.You can report on: Activity Audit Data Audit Security Comments Work Status

167. A Distribution Template may contain the following fields: BOOK: the title of your distributed book. SECTION: denotes the beginning of a section. REPNAME: report filename, location and title (can also be for Input Schedules). FIXKEY: sets dimension members to the fixed values when generating the report For example, you can ensure that a report runs for 2008.TOTAL and ACTUAL. VARYKEYS: lists the dimensions and dimension members that should vary for each report that will get created. For example, if you want to create a new offline report for each Entity/Cost Center/etc, you would specify that dimension as a Vary Key. You then map a specific Vary Key to a User ID who should receive that report (for example, the Cost Center manager). This way, each user who gets a report has the required dimension(s) set to their individual values Note: If you wish to distribute by email, make sure an email address has been maintained for each user. SECTIONEND: denotes the end of a section.

168. Validations configuration is performed in transaction UJ_VALIDATION.

180.TheEvCOM function references another cell and sends its value, a textual comment, to the database when specified.

181.TheEvHOT (hot link) function sets up a hot link to another report or cell withi another report. Hot links can be used to guide a user through ad-hoc analysis.

182.TheEvGTS (Get value and scale) function retrieves a data value based on the specified members, and scales the value if the scale property is enabled on the dimension.

183.This Send function references another cell and sends its value to the database when you select Send and Refresh Schedules.

184.TheEvTIM (time period offset) function specifies an offset from a given time period.

185.You can double click on the EVCVW output to set the current view. EVDRE templates use the EVCVW function in the page key range.

186.EVPRO is being used below to pull in the account type property. EVBET performs

186.A variance calculation based on the acctype value. For example, if revenue actual is greater than plan, the variance if positive. However, if expense actual is higher than plan, the variance is negative.

187.EVBET is used to calculate variances in conjunction with the ACCTYPE property.

188. AVAILABLEFLAG Controls whether the system is offline or not. Yes means the system is online and available for sending data to the database. You can take the system offline by changing the value to No. (Required)

189. YTDINPUT This parameter controls whether data is input in year-to-date format. Valid options are 1, which means ytd format; or 0, which means periodic format. (Optional) YTDInputTimeHir This parameter designates the time hierarchy that will be used by a YTD storage application. H1 is the default.

190. If an application parameter is required, you can leave it blank to accept the default, but if you delete the parameter, the system may not work correctly. If an application parameter is optional, you can delete it if you wantto.

191.if the application parameter is required and it is blank then System will crash Will throw an error message Gives a warning message Leave it blank to accept the default.

192. You can set work status to top-down in the TOPDOWN field in the Application Parameters.

193. Work Status locks can allow you to lock down documents that have had the Application Context specified.

194. There is an AppSet web admin parameter called LANDINGPAGEITEM, which allows you to control what is viewed when you open the BPC Web Getting Started page (landing.aspx).

195. 'AS_IS' is key word that is supported in the formula field that means to leave a value untouched if it is already in the destination currency. 'AS_IS' cannot be combined with anything other than '-1'. 'AS_IS' is used when you need a historical rate.

196. END - uses the end of month rate as stored in the rate application. AVG - uses the average rate as stored in the rate application. COPYLC - translate the local currency to group or reporting currency with a factor of '1. OPEEND - the end rate of the last period of the prior year. AS_IS - Leave untouched a value already in the target currency. OPEAVG - the average rate of the last period of the prior year.

197. Equity Method 30 Purchase method 86 Proportional Method 70

198. Generally speaking, if the ownership % is greater that 50% the purchase method will be used in the US but the equity method is used if the amount is less than 50%. The proportionate method is similar to the purchase method and is used more frequently in Europe.

199. A owns 80% of B company, 70% of C and 40 % of D. Which company can use the quitymethod. B B&C D A Answer : A company can use equity method.

200. The properties that begin with 'Org' all relate to the dynamic hierarchy editor.

201. Ownership data can be entered via the Dynamic Hierarchy Editor or via input templates.

202. There are five possible adjustment types: But typically this is blank except for Equity and Proportionate. Generic Equity Proportional New (acquisitions) Leaving (divestitures)

203. In the NetWeaver release, the 'Groups' dimension is typically used whereas the Microsoft release referred to it as the 'Consolview' dimension.

204. The business rules are broken down into Appset and Application sections for Automatic Adjustments TRUE.

205. In the Appset, the Rules, Methods, and Formulas are defined. In the Application, the destination datasource is assigned t the method in the 'automatic adjustments'. In the automatic adjustment details, the source accounts, reversal signs, target accounts, and target flows, are specified .

206. A unique requirement when dealing with inter unit elimination entries is that they should only be reflected in any given group if both the entity and the partner entity which it was doing business with are part of the group.

207. The adjustment types include the same 5 rule types: Generic, Equity, Proportional, New, and Leaving.

208. The consolidation method types include: New, Holding, Global, Proportional, Equity, Leaving @ the beginning of the year, Leaving @ the end of the year .

BPC 2 Some Basic Definitions in BW: Here are some basic concepts. The planning data in the netweaver BW is stored in the REAL TIME Info cube. There are 2 types of infocubes Standard or basic cube and Real time info cube. The real time infocube is optimized so that you can write and read data from the cube. Also know as transactional info cube. The real time infocube load status can be changed to Load mode or Planning mode . It can be changed in RSA1/cube/context menu.Again the data is stored only in REAL TIME Infocube and not in standard or basic cube or DSO or Write optimized DSO or Multiprovider or infoset or infoobject or table.

The important tcodes with the above SAP_CONVERT_NORMAL_TRANS Convert Normal to transactional cube. RSINPUT To create sample data.Can be used in testing phase to input the data .

The real time cube request will stay open till 50K records.

BPC 3

Dimensions : A Account Type C Category Type E Entity Type T Time Type R Currency Type I Intercompany D Data source S Subtable U User Defined

Required Dimensions in each application: A Account Type C Category Type E Entity Type T Time Type

Required dimension in each application set R Currency Type

Required dimension for Intercompany Eliminations I Intercompany

Just remember the above dimensions like what are required dimensions for each application or what dimensions are optional for an application etc.

Dimesions& Properties Continuation What is process Dimension functionality: When you create/change a dimension all the changes are updated to the database BW cube. After you create the dimension you have to process the dimension in the BPC admin console to update the DB. Dimension field names can be max 20 chars.

Dimension properties length if it is less than or equal to 60 will be stored as a BI attributes. More than 60 will be stored as a string in BW. There is no limit of the length of the properties.

In BPC you can only increase the size of the property and you cant reduce the size. This is very important. It is not possible to delete the member until it is deleted from all applications where it is used.Same as deleting the master data in BW. If the property length is more than 60 it cant be used in script logic calculations. Renaming a existing member is not possible in netweaver BW. Copy and use it.

MASTER DATA LOAD How to load the master data: Standard Solutions: Enter master data directly in spreadsheet. Copy from an external spreadsheet and paste to the member excel sheet.

From ERP master data tables to BW infoobjects and from BW infoobjects to BPC dimensions by DTP Full load. Load master data by flatfile in the backend like using flatfile DS and DTP. Load master data by flat file by using data manager.

Custom Solutions: Load master data from ERP to BPC dimension by using the data manager transformation/conversion functionalities. Load master data from BW Infoobjects to BPC dimension by using the data manager transformation/conversion functionalities.

So 4 standard solutions and 2 custom solutions.

Some Security concepts:

Security is maintained in the frontend for the BPC apps . Security is maintained at the appset level. There are 2 components Task profile and member access profile. Task Profile: A task profile determines what type of activities a user or team can perform

in BPC. Member Access Profile: A member access profile determines applications and dimension members where a user or a team has read, write or deny access to a particular region of data in the application. User can be assigned to task profile and member access profile. A team can be assigned to task profile and member access profile. Then users can be assigned to the team. There can be only one team leader per team in sap netweaver 7.0. System Admin: By default a System Admin can create, modify, or delete

application sets and define security. Primary Admin: By default a Primary Admin can do all admin tasks except

create, modify, or delete application sets. Secondary Admin: By default being a Secondary Admin allows users to

manage dimension members and to maintain locks. Within Modify Application you have to set Secured for the authorization

relevant dimensions.Only for these dimensions you will have to define if you want a write-read, read-only, read or deny access for certain members of this secured dimension. For the dimensions which are no secured dimensions you have a sap-all access

to all members You are not able to post a journal entry then what is the issue.Check you have the necessary task profile assigned to your id or team. You created a new application and when login you cant see the application what you created. So you are missing the member access profile. For that application-members. Read or Write or Deny

access. Without having defined a Member Access Profile its not possible to work with the Application. What is the task profile name for accessing the content library and live report The task name is ZFP.

Hierarchies How hierarchies are treated in MS version of BPC. There is no hierarchy in MS version of BPC. Hierarchy is treated as BW hierarchy. Hierarchy is treated as a measure. Each hierarchy is treated as a separate dimension in the DB.

The correct answer is separate dimension in the DB. So keep the hierarchies minimum in MS version.

You can have more than one hierarchy for the same dimension.

To define a hierarchy add the Paranet property as a column directly in a dimension member sheet via Maintain Dimension Members. Hierarchies should be named as Parentn where n is the no of the hierarchy. For example if you have 2 hierarchies then you create as Parent1 and Parent2. Hierarchies are stored as SAP Net weaver BW Hierarchies in BPC Net weaver version . Hierarchies are stored as a separate dimension in MS version BPC. The order of the hierarchies are not important like Parent1,Parent3,Parent2. But you should not skip a hierarchy like Parent1, Parent3.

Some EV Expansion commands SELF - Returns the current member

EVDPS - Returns the current member and its dependents EVDEP - Returns the current members dependents EVBSS - Returns the current member and its base level members. EVBAS - Returns the current members base level members. EVALS Return the current member and all members below it EVALL - Returns all members below the current member. EVMEMBERS - returns all members, above and below the current member.

Some MDX Expansion commands BEFORE - Returns descendant members from leveldown value only . Includes <Members>,if and only if LevelDown value specified is the level of <Members>. AFTER - returns descendant members from all levels subordinate to LevelDOWN value. LEAVES Returns leaf descendant members irrespective of the level.

SELF_AND_AFTER - Returns descendant members from LevelDown value and all levels subordinate to LevelDown value. SELF_AND_BEFORE - Returns descendant members from LevelDown value and all levels between <Members> and LevelDown value. SELF_BEFORE_AFTER <Members>. - Returns descendant members from all levels subordinate to the level of

BEFORE_AND_AFTER - Returns descendant members from all levels subordinate to the level of <Members> except members from LevelDown value.

Just remember the above commands.

Some questions like What is EVDEP 1 answer is correct Returns the current members dependents Returns the current member and its dependents

Returns the base members and its dependents Returns all base level members.

What are MDX commands- 3 answers are correct Before After Any SELF_AND_BEFORE

Where you set the report or Input Schedule option Workbook ---.Set option- Report or Input Schedule.

What the EV functions which saves the data in the database. EVSND EVDRE EVCOM

Delivered Templates 10 reporting templates ready to use 5 input schedule templates ready to use.

What is Park N Go: Use this function to lock the current view in a report or input schedule, or both the current view and data, or to take the workbook offline.

Transformations and Conversion File: Some important points to remember Web Admin parameters for file upload:

 ALLOWEXTENSIONS: Defines allowed file extensions for upload ALLOW_FILE_SIZE: This is the maximum file size a user is allowed to upload. The default value is 100 MB. DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS: This is the list of default extensions that are allowed. This list includes: XLS, XLT, DOC, DOT, PPT, POT, XML, MHT, MHTML, HTM, HTML, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, ZIP, PDF, PPTX, PPTM, POTX, POTM, DOCX, DOCM, DOTX, DOTM, CDM, TDM, PNG, GIF, JPG, CSS, MRC. Microsoft Access data cant be directly uploaded through Data Manager.

Conversion File: Conversion files define the mapping by dimensions from external member names

to internal member names..

You create one conversion file per dimension in a transformation. Each conversion file can contain one or more sheets for different types of data transformations.

Which are true about conversion files one correct answer o There can be more conversion files for a dimension. o There can be only one conversion file for a dimension. o There cane n conversion files for 1 dimesnions. o Conversion files are mandatory.

Conversion files should be named the same as the dimension for which they are being used.

If you want to skip some external data use the word skip in the internal column

For example if you want to skip

EXTERNAL = FORECAST INTERNAL = *SKIP

The users doesnt want to load budget data for 2009 from external file. So how you ignore it in the conversion file one correct answer JAVA SCRIPT can be used in conversion files. This is important remember. Write a MDX command. Use EVCOM function. External Value = *SKIP . *SKIP = Internal Value.

Where you can use JAVA SCRIPT one correct answer o In BADIs o In transformation o In the EVDRE function o In the conversion file

Java Script code starts with string js.

What is transformation Option CONVERT_INTERNAL 2 correct answers

CONVERT_INTERNAL = No Java script can be used in internal column

CONVERT_INTERNAL=YES Javascript can be used in external column.

CONVERT_INTERNAL Convert the external to internal format.

CONVERT_INTERNAL is a function module.

Transformations Continued:

The transformation consists of 3 parts Options Mapping Conversion

What are the required parameters in the transformation file ? Creditpositive Delimeter Format Header Maxrejcount..etc

What are optional parameters in the transformation file ? Amountdecimalpoint

Convertamountdim

What is CONVERTAMOUNTDIM parameter ? It specifies which dimension to look at for value calculations. You must specify a dimension conversion sheet using the Amount Conversion option. If there is no formula in the Formula column of the Amount conversion sheet this parameter has no affect at all. For example, the Formula column has the following formula: Value*1.10. All accounts will be increased by 10% during the conversion. Default Value for this is Account.

What is the purpose of the Amount Conversion File. refer Above

What is the purpose of the MAXREJECTCOUNT parameter. If validating records, the number of rejected records at which to stop

processing. A value of -1 implies that Data Manager (DM) should keep processing no

matter how many rejected records exist. The default value is 500, which can be represented by an empty string.

What is the value to be set for MAXREJECTCOUNT parameter for the DM to continue processing irrespective of the rejected records? 500 Space -1 >1

What are the standard packages available? 3 answers Data Management

Financial Processes System Administration Custom Processes

Transaction Data Load

Standard Options Load transaction data from BW cube to BPC cube in the backend. Load transaction data full load from BW cube to BPC cubes through data manager.

Planning InfoCubes are write optimized but Standard InfoCubes are read optimized. Consolidation InfoCubes are write optimized because the request id stays open until a threshold is reached for example. Request id's in real time cubes can be closed by switching the cube to the Standard type. A Real Time InfoCube has two 'data' modes, but only one will ever be used by Business Planning and Consolidation. As data comes in to the Planning InfoCube, it arrives in the 'F' table and remains there until it is compressed into the 'E' table. SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation can also be set up against Data Store Objects.
