Automate file uploading process in BPC

Posted on Jul 10, 2020 at 09:33 AM 160 Views

Hello,

Is it possible to automate the file uploading process which we do from data manager in BPC ? Can we automate this via a macro ? We have a requirement that a csv file named prov_2020_07 stored in a folder called /Provisions gets automatically uploaded via the macro.

I have written below line of code which triggers the upload file prompt automatically but the user still has to click browse and fetch the file and upload on server folder. Can we automate that part too ?

Sub upload()
Dim cofCom As Object
Dim epm As Object
Dim api As Object
Set cofCom = Application.COMAddIns("SapExcelAddIn").Object
cofCom.ActivatePlugin ("com.sap.epm.FPMXLClient")
Set epm = cofCom.GetPlugin("com.sap.epm.FPMXLClient")

epm.DataManagerOpenFileUploadDialog
epm.DataManagerRunPackage "IMPORT", "Data Management", ""
epm.DataManagerOpenViewStatusDialog

End Sub

Regards,

Neha

    Just define the network folder in AL11.

    Then you will be able to import data directly from the file located in AL11 folder. And you can use vba macro. I have written about it number of times.

    Neha,

    Yes you can do it. It's pretty straight forward.

    1) Create / Define an event in SAP BPC using tcode SM62.

    2) Your script should execute an "event" Get more info on events here .

    3) In SAP BPC you should schedule job that is "event" based from tcode SM36.

    So when an event is triggered, the background job will automatically execute and load the file.

    I would recommend that you add a notification when the job completes. SM36 has a button to specify the email recipient.

    Drop a note here if you require more information.
