How can we use Custom BW Process chain in BPC Data Manager Package

[former_member669125]

Hi Team,

We have a BW Custom process Chain.

We want to create a BPC Data Manager package without using the standard BW process chain (/CPMB/TRIGGER_BW_CHAIN) to trigger the underlying Custom BW Process Chain.

It should be like directly selecting the Custom Process Chain in Data Manager package.

How can we achieve this technically.

Sorry, but not clear! Why you don't want to use /CPMB/TRIGGER_BW_CHAIN???

Hi Vadim,

We are trying to replicate a Data manager package, built earlier in BPC standard 10.0 system to new BPC 11.1 standard on B4HANA 2.0.

This ZUJDX_MDOF_PC is a custom BW process chain that was available to BPC Data Manager Package in older system as below:

Now while replicating the same in new system, we created the Process Chain as it is in B4HANA 2.0. When it comes to creating Data Manager package we actually used the below:

While triggering the package, we are getting the error. That's where we were thinking of the option to get the Process chain available directly for BPC Data Manager Package.

Below is the Package script we used( same from old system):

PROMPT(TEXT,%PROP_ID%,"New Member ID",) PROMPT(TEXT,%PROP_DESCRIPTION%,"Description",) 'PROMPT(TEXT,%PROP_CC%,"Costcenter",) PROMPT(SELECT,%SELECTION%,,"Select the Parent for the new member, Click Next","Position_SPT") PROMPT(SELECT,%TEMPLATE_MBR%,,"Select the Template Member (default property values will be copied from this member), Click Next", "Position_SPT") INFO(%EQU%,=) INFO(%TAB%,;) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,TAB,%TAB%) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,EQU,%EQU%) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,SUSER,%USER%) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,SAPPSET,%APPSET%) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,SAPP,%APP%) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,SELECTION,%SELECTION%) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,LOGICFILENAME,MDOFX.LGF) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,REPLACEPARAM1_KEY,ID) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,REPLACEPARAM1_VALUE,%PROP_ID%) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,REPLACEPARAM2_KEY,DESCRIPTION) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,REPLACEPARAM2_VALUE,%PROP_DESCRIPTION%) 'TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,REPLACEPARAM3_KEY,COSTCENTER) 'TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,REPLACEPARAM3_VALUE,%PROP_CC%) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,REPLACEPARAM4_KEY,TEMPLATE_MBR) TASK(ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,REPLACEPARAM4_VALUE,%TEMPLATE_MBR%)

Below is the error we are getting while triggering the package:

[Message] --------------------------------------------------------------

Failed to analyze instruction ZUJDXRL_VARIANT,TAB,%TAB%

Sorry, but TRIGGER_BW_CHAIN has no relation to MDOF.

You have to implement MDOF according to the guide...

Then you will have ZUJDX_MDOF_PC as a custom BPC chain! Some corrections to ABAP code may be required.

Thanks Vadim for the suggestion!

I am also checking if the below document would be applicable to BPC 11.1 standard.

Do share if you have any inputs on this implementation in BPC 11.0 or 11.1 standard.

Yes, this document is the latest. And transport files can be downloaded. Just implement solution according to this document.

P.S.:

By the way, what do you want to achieve with MDOF in terms of business logic?

Hi Vadim,

We are implementing HR Planning model

User wants to create new Employee positions on the fly in EPM report to plan their salaries.

The Guide for 10.1 NW is working smoothly as you suggested in 11.1 as well.

Thanks,
SHUBHAM

"User wants to create new Employee positions on the fly in EPM report to plan their salaries."

Can be some issues with parallel work of multiple users...

that's not possible

What do you mean by "that's not possible"? For sure, the original question was wrong, but after some explanation it's more or less clear!
