Starting BPC 10 Web Client


I had brief look at BPC 10 NetWeaver version. BPC which stands for SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation is part of SAP EPM applications. BPC 10 requires an SAP BW 7.3 system as backend. You need to install BPC component CPMBPC into your ABAP stack to enable this functionality. BPC is written using Adobe Flex (an open source framework for building rich Internet applications that get delivered via the Flash Player or to desktops via Adobe AIR.) web front-end. MS Excel interface still remains for inputting and reporting data out of the system.

In order to connect to BPC you need to enable following services on ABAP stack in order to access BPC in TA SICF:
/default_host/sap/EPM_BPC/web - web client itself
/default_host/sap/poa - Base REST service (for Adobe Flex platform)
/default_host/sap/public/bc
/default_host/sap/bw/xml/soap/xmla/




















Below see possibilities how to access BPC:

To launch the Planning and Consolidation Web Client or logon page of BPC 10:
Open a web browser and enter URL 

http://server.domain:port/sap/bpc/web/

where is the server name/IP address and port number of the Planning and Consolidation application server.

To launch BPC web reports via a URL link:

For NW version:
https://server.domain:port/sap/bpc/web?re=1#liveReport={report guid};cm={environment name}

For MS version:
https://server.domain:port/sap/bpc/web/#liveReport={report guid};cm={environment name}
















How to recognize either your BW has BPC installed? Check following software component in BW backend e.g.:
CPMBPC    800    0007    SAPK-80007INCPMBPC    CPM Business Planning and Consolidation

Hi Slash,

apart of checking firewall or antivirus settings that may block flash player plugin I do not really have any other idea.
