SAP BPC 10 NetWeaver Platform: AutomateMaster Data Loads from BW to BPCby admin on November 23rd, 2012
Author: Jaye Dutton, Practice Lead BI
Introduction
Back in 2010 shortly after SAP released BPC NW 7.5, SAP SDN published a how-to document for automating the loading of master data and hierarchies from BW toBPC. Please click here to read instructions.
This document addressed (some modification required) the issue of how to get themaster data from BW that is loaded nightly via a BW process chain from ECC intoBPC, closing the loop for master data maintenance whilst still allowing BPC users tocreate ad hoc master data for planning requirements.

The standard BPC data manager package has vastly improved since then, howeverthe issue still remains: How to automate the BPC master data update and include inthe nightly BW master data update?
Key Point
The back end of BPC was completely re-written for BPC 10 for the reading and writingof transactional and master data; meaning the solution provided in the afore mentionedhow-to guide no longer works.
BPC 10 Standard Data Manager
SAP BPC provides a standard approach to loading master data from BW info objectsinto BPC. This uses the BPC Data Manager package along with transformation andconversion files. With the addition of start and end routines this has become a moreuseful option. However the creation and maintenance of these files is another skill setand the scheduling doesn’t allow for integration into existing BW process chains.

The original how-to guide for running a BPC process chain is still viable usingupdated hint files for the new BPC 10 process chains. However this still requires thecreation of BPC transformation and conversion files. As a BW technical guy, I don’twant another place to monitor and maintain, I want to be able to update BPC masterdata the same way I did for IP and BPS. So how do I do it?
The Step-by-Step Solution
SAP BPC 10 has a new web based administration client for the administering ofModels (BPC 10 talk for Applications) and Dimensions. It also allows the maintenanceof master data and hierarchies:

The update to the BPC infoobject is done using the standard BW approach. Thisworks for text, attributes, and hierarchies:

* Note: Any conversion from BW to BPC format would be done in the BWtransformation. In this example I have concatenated the chart of account and theaccount number to become the BPC account.
The data is then loaded from BW to BPC using a BW DTP:
Once data is loaded it needs to be activated as in standard BW:

The final step is to run the BW to BPC update program:

Hierarchies
The Standard BW hierarchy transformation can be complex to map from one infoobject to another:
NTT DATA Business Solutions provides two alternatives to manually creating atransformation for each hierarchy.
1) BW to BPC hierarchy copy program

Dimension, taking care of the transformation and allowing prefix’s and compoundinfoobjects.
2) Utilising NTT DATA Business Solutions BW to BPC interface to automatically mapthe source to the target using the pre-determined configuration
This can all be then put into a BW process chain and added to the nightly schedule:

Hi Jaye,
Thanks for the guide, it makes the loading process much more clear. I was able tofollow all the steps, until the “The final step is to run the BW to BPC update program:”Please, where can I get this program?
At this moment I’m not able to see the loaded data in BPC.
Thanks for advice,Ondrej

Hi Ondrej,
Thanks for your message.
The program is one we developed here that reads the data from the BW tables anduses the interfaces:– if_uja_member_manager~save– if_uja_member_manager~process
To save the data to BPC and Process the dim to make it available.
If you would like to discuss this in any further detail please do not hesitate to contact02 8908 4200
Cheers,Jaye.
