How to create a Hierarchy Node Variable to be used in Infopackages ?

Hello,
I use BW 3.5.
I need to create a hierarchy node variable (filter) to be used further in Infopackages as OLAP Variable.
How can I do ?
Please give a step-by-step answer,
Thank you very much,
Thomas

Hi Again,
You can use ABAP program in the process chain.
I guess there are some OS level commands in ABAP which will allow you to open, close, read , write and move files.
Serach in ABAP help or on net.
Bes regards,
Sunmit.

How to pass a hierarchy node variable value over OpenDocument?

Hello,
I have been unable to link to an instance with matching parameters with opendocument with hierarchy node variables.
Has anyone attempted this or been successful?
Please reference this post I had in the Web Intelligence forum. sInstance=Param not working for sap bw query based reports (FWM 02020)
Here's some background information
We've created 2 new crystal reports based of sap queries.
Report 1, single prompt, no hierarchy.
Result : Can link to specific instance with matching parameters. Great!
Report 2, single prompt, hierarchy based.
Result: Cannot link to specific instance with matching parameters
Parameter list for report 2
[!V000001} : Cost Center/Gr{oup (Multiple) = {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
However when I go into the history and look at the successful instance parameters used, it seems to be picking up an extra parameter ( my guess is node)
XXX, XXX & XXX; {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
We have attempted to use the entire string, the first portion, second portion, and just the technical response. No luck.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Nick

Hello Ingo,
I'll explain the situation more clearly,
Report 2, single prompt, hierarchy based.
Result: Cannot link to specific instance with matching parameters with a response from the Bus Objects server
An error has occurred: The object with ID -1 does not exist in the CMS or you don't have the right to access it (FWM 02020)
We have 1 parameter for report 2
{!V000001} : Cost Center/Group (Multiple)
We selected a single value:
{0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
(The XXX, XXX, & XXX is the description)
We ran a successful instance.
However when I go into the history and look at the successful instance parameters used it displays the following:
XXX, XXX & XXX; {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
An extra description seems to appear (The first XXX, XXX & XXX;) Our original selection was only {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
We attempted to build variations of the open document strings
1. We tried the entire parameter response,
XXX, XXX & XXX; {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
2. The first description that was not part of the original selection,
XXX, XXX & XXX
3. The technical name and description
{0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
4. The technical name
{0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE}
Please let me know if you need more details.

Hierarchy Node Variable is not displaying full list of Hierarchy

Hi,
I loaded Hierarchy to an info object using flat file.
When i created a test reports and settings to display of MAster Data of Char and executed the report
The output displays full list of Hierarchy
Now to have a User Entry on Hierarchy ...created a Hierarchy Node variable and executed the value help of Hierarchy Node variable is not displaying fill list of Hierarchy ...its only displaying first 15 entries in Hierarchy.
I changed the settings of variable...etc but couldn't get the Hierarchy full list in User entry selection
How can i fix it...
Thanks in advance

If anyone has the same problem, I think I found the reason when transported to production.
BW7.3 (at least) can not show the hierarchy nodes if there is no transactional data loaded.
So do your hierarchies only after the data has been loaded..

Refreshing Hierarchy node variable in BEx query with change in hierarchy

Hi all,
We have used a hierarchy node variable on Characteristic ZECCSAC (user-defined) and used it in a BEx query with default value set to a particular node value. Upto this, it is working fine.
The hierarchy used in the query, with the hierarchy node variable, was later changed ( and in future it can undergo changes ). Since the number of records in the hierarchy are changing, the nodenames of the hierarchy nodes are changing. But the hier node variable default value is still set to the earlier nodename for that node description. So at runtime it is giving an error "ECCS Account Number is invalid"!
Can anyone suggest how to refresh a hierarchy node variable default value each time a query is run so that the latest nodename is always taken ?
Quick reply will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You get this with User exits.

BW-Hierarchy node variable in Crystal Report

Hi crystal gurus,
I am creating a report on top of BW-Query Using SAP toolbar. We are having a Hierarchy node variable for WBS Element in our Bw-Query.
Now that hierarchy node variable is not behaving properly in crystal reports.
When I execute Query at BW side it Provides me with proper result, say for example if i execute the query for a WBS element "X" and that element consists of other elements inside it like A, B, C etc then at BW side it gives me proper data considering all the WBS elements but in Crystal reports the Data returned is just for the Specified WBS element, i.e it return me data specific to WBS element "X" only.
Any Ideas why this is happening and how to resolve this?
Any help will be Appreciated.
Thanks & regards
Neeraj

Hi Debi,
thank you very much for your reply, but i am afraid that you may have misunderstood my Question.
Actually I am using a hierarchy node variable, and as usual that hierarchy node has certain level. so when i m executing the report in CR say for node value/level L1 then it provides me data specific for the node L1 only but logically it should provide me with data of node L1 and all other nodes below L1& that is not happening in my case. while whenever i m executing the same report with same values at BW Side it provides me proper result I.E. it provides me data for node L1 and all other nodes below it.
Hope this makes my Ques clear.
Thanks & Regards
Neeraj

Issue with hierarchy node variable and multiple SAP hierarchies

Hello experts,
We are currently facing an issue when using two SAP hierarchies in Web Intelligence and one of them is restricted with a hierarchy node variable.
The systems we use are a SAP BI 7.01 (SPS 05) and a Business Objects Enterprise XI R3.1 SP2 (fix pack 2.3). I want also to point out that the fix pack 2.3 has been applied to all BOE related components: the SAP integration Kit, client tools, and enterprise (server and client).
The universe used in our scenario is based on a BEX Query with two hierarchies (non-time dependent hierarchies, intervals allowed) loaded on their corresponding characteristics. One of these characteristics is restricted with a hierarchy node variable (manual input, optional, ready for input, multiple single values allowed).
Prerequisites for replicating the problem:
1) When building the web intelligence query select several levels from both hierarchies (they have seven levels each) and the only amount of the InfoCube that the BEX query (that was used to create our universe) relies on.
2) In the hierarchy node variable prompt select a hierarchy node entry (not an actual InfoObject value that exists as transactional data in the InfoCube )
By executing the query built above, all characteristics are returned null (no value) and the key figure with value u201C0u201D. No error messages, no partial results warnings. Now if we go back to u201CEdit queryu201D and select levels of only one of any of the two hierarchies the query runs normally (by selecting the exact same value for the hierarchy node variable prompt).
Any ideas on the matter?
Regards,
Giorgos

Hi,
Have you ever got a solution for this problem?

Hierarchy Node Variable search (find) option not working

Hi Experts - I have created a hierarchy node varibale on a fixed hierarchy. When user run the report and click on hierarchy node variable selection option , A new window will pop up which has all the nodes.
As the list is quite big and has many levels , On the same pop up , we have find option , when we enter any node in the find box , its always give a ABAP Dump , It never works for me...
Is node find/search in not working in Bi 7.0 .
Thanks

Hi Rohan,
We can restrict the hierchey level at property of of the hiearchey enabled characteristic.
Hope this hels...let me know if u require any further info on this..

How to create BP hierarchy in CRM 5.0

Hi All,
We are planning to create customer hierarchy in our SAP CRM 5.0 system. In other words, we want to have different departments within a company to be identified as a BP while the company itself is also a BP. How to implement this in CRM?
Greatly appreciated,
Leon

Hi Leon,
Creating a BP group (customer) hierarchy in CRM system is very easy. Please refer to the following very good help document : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/12/cfea3b31aac554e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
But in CRM 5.0 every time you create a hierarchy node and saves it, then hierarchy automatically get disappears. You need to implement the following notes in your system to get rid of this problem : 958122, 960384 and 956066

Hierarchy node variable - successor node data not displayed

Hello,
I have a query with a hierarchy in the rows section. This hierarchy is restricted by a hierarchy node variable with the following settings: variable type hierarchy node; customer exit; single value; mandatory; not ready for input; cannot be changed in query navigation.
The customer exit correctly supplies the node. However, only data for THIS node is displayed in the query results. And data for successor/underlying nodes is NOT displayed.
I tried several things, including:
- rightclick Rows > Display as a Hierarchy
- customer exit variable: multiple values instead of single value; optional instead of mandatory
In the Hierarchy Attributes for the hierarchy, nothing is checkmarked, except for Root/Totals Item Appears Above and Drilldown start level = 00. The hierarchy and its nodes are valid from 01.07.2005 to 31.12.9999.
I have a feeling in what area the solution can be found, but I have no clue what to do further on with it. As a test I replaced the customer exit variable with a user entry variable. If I then execute the query, I can select either the node or the value (both with the same technical value!). If I select the node, I get all data, including data for successor nodes. If I select the value, I only get the data for the node, not the underlying successor nodes. For some reason, the customer exit variable behaves like the latter and not like the first. I do not know how to solve this.
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me out of this issue here.
Kind regards,
Frank

Hi,
no, it doesn't. It just returns the data for the node and not for the underlying nodes.

PLEASE HELP....Hierarchy Node Variable

Hi All:
I have a BPS Hierarchy Node Variable based on the Profit Center Hierarchy that was created in BW. The problem is when I set this variable to a node...only one profit center in this node gets displayed. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here? I need to show data for all profit centers within this node.
Thank you very much.

Hi Jane,
planning is only possible for one single characteristic combination. If you want to plan data for profit centers you need to plan on a single one.
Using a hierachy in a planning level means: All profit center in the node are selected, filled into the buffer and can be planned in one step BUT every value must be exactly assigned to a single profit center.
When you open the layout, the first profit center of the hierachy node can be planned. You can switch to other profit centers by icons at the top of the layout. So there is always one "active" profit center in the header of the layout.

Using a hierarchy node variable in a BI 7 web template

Hi all,
I am searching for a way how to use a hierarchy node variable in a BI 7 web template. I have seen that there is a hierarchy web item, but I can only link that to a characteristic. I need to link the navigation item to a hierarchy node variable as I want to use the chosen variable value in a customer exit as well. Therefore the hierarchy web item is not working for me.
Is there any web item that can be used to offer hierarchy node variables as navigation options in a web template?
If you have any idea, every hint is highly appreciated!
Cheers
Tatjana

The Filter panel will only display you the characteristics and key figures available in the query.
If you want to add a combo box to make "on the fly" currency conversion, you'll have to do that by another way.

Passing hierarchy node variable in a hyperlink

Hi,
We are on XI 3.1 SP3.
We have a BW summary query with hierarchy active, with hierarchy node variable as "optional" selection variable. Created Universe based on the query and built a WebI report. Have activated "Drill". That way we are able to drill down per the levels. This works fine.
We have another BW detail query with optional hierarchy node selection. Created a universe and a WebI report for the detail report..
When we try to create a hyperlink from the summary WebI report to the detail WebI report in "display" mode, creation of Hyperlink is very intutive. We are able to pass parameters.and the hyperlink works fine.
The only problem occurs when we try to pass the hierarchy node variable value. The value of the hierarchy node gets passed, but the report does not bring over any data,
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround.
Kindly advice.
Rgds

Hello,
Ingo, thanks for your comment Sorry for the delayed response.
Let me explain my scenario. On my report I have the following:
1. Sales Hierarchy (5 level hierarchy)
2. Product Group (Hyperlink created - want to pass Sales Hierarchy node value + Product group to detail report)
3. Key Figure 1
4. Key Figure 2
I have activated drill which allows me to drill down the Sales Hierarchy.
Scenaio A. Pass just the Product Group Key. Success
If I just pass the "Product Group Key", the detail report shows me the data for the specific Product Group as expected. This is a successful test
Scenario B - Pass the Sales Hierarchy Node key and the Product Group Key Fails
In this case, I am passing the "Product Group key" along with the "L00 Sales Hierarchy key". When I click on the hyperlink, it gives me an empty detail report. I know for sure that values exist for all levels. If I run my detail report stand-alone, I am able to get values for all levels.
However if I drill down to the last level in the Sales Hierarchy, the detail report shows correct value. For last level, the Sales Hierarchy Node value gets passed correctly along with the Product Group key.
URL generated is as follows:
http://<bobj server>:<port number>AnalyticalReporting/WebiView.do?bypassLatestInstance=true&cafWebSesInit=true&appKind=InfoView&service=/InfoViewApp/common/appService.do&loc=en&pvl=en&actId=216&objIds=6933&containerId=6923&bypassLatestInstance=true&lsMProductGroup=11101101&lsSGeoSales+Hierarchy=B01&isApplication=false&pref=maxOpageU%3D10%3BmaxOpageUt%3D200%3BmaxOpageC%3D10%3Btz%3DAmerica%2FDenver%3BmUnit%3Dinch%3BshowFilters%3Dtrue%3BsmtpFrom%3Dtrue%3BpromptForUnsavedData%3Dtrue%3B&sRefresh=N
In the URL you can see that correct values are getting passed
Product+Group=11101101
Sales+Hierarchy=B01
Do I need to append any value to the "B01" value ?
I did not understand the part about appending [ ] or 0HIER.
Can you please explain.
Thnaks for all your help.

Hierarchy Node Variables in Selection Screen

Hi Experts!
I have a hierarchy Node variables of InfoObject in BEx. When I execute the report, I choose Hierarchy variables in Selection screen of BEx Web. I see all of attributes of infoObject, I want to reject all of those.
Suppose that: In infoObject 0COSTCENTER has attributes (Controlling Area, BusinessArea, CompanyCode, ProfitCenter u2026.), I donu2019t need to see those attributes of Costcenter when I choose node in Hierarchy variables. I only want to get the CostCenter. Please some advise to solve that issue or how can I do that?
Thanks in advance,

hii
Try This:
Double click on the info object
then go to the Hierarchy Tab
here u find a button of External Char in hierarchies
Click on this
On right hand side u find some of the attributes of the info object
place them on left hand side
Execute it & activate the Info object.
