Automatic handling of BW hierarchies within infopackages

Question

Within BW there are infosources and
within infosources there are infopackages. You can create time
versioned hierarchies within a infopackage.  We create the hierarchies
for each month. When you do this, in order to load the data into the
correct hierarchy, there is radio button that you have to select. I
would like to know if there is a automatic way, weather with ABAP
calling BAPI's or some other program(s) to first create the hierarchy
for the month and then select the radio button so that the data is
loaded to the correct hierarchy.
thanks in advance.

hi pavan,
      No automatic handling of BW heirarchies , i guess.
Just go thru it , it may helpful to you.
Activities for generating a DataSource for a set hierarchy:
1. Enter the table that the set uses (for example, an FI-SL totals table GLFUNCT) and then select the table field (for example, RBUSA Business Area) for the set.
2. If the characteristic is compounded in the BW, which the hierarchy is based on, and if you want to transfer its compounding information on the source system to BW, select BW Characteristic is compounded. Enter the data element to which the hierarchy is compounded. When the hierarchy is loaded, the compounding information is taken into account in BW. If you want to extract the FI-SL set of a characteristic compounded in BW, you have to run the compounding process in a customer exit. In transaction CMOD, create a project for SAP enhancement RSAP0001 and program EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 (ZXRSAU04).
3. Run the program to generate the DataSource for the set hierarchy.
4. The new DataSource is called 4R_GSBER_0000_HIER. GSBER is the data element of the field GLFUNCT-RBUSA and 0000 specifies the set class.
hope IT Helps.. !!
