Create link or dropdown for hierarchy nodes.

Hi friends, I need your expertise in solving my senario. We have a costcenter with about 10+ hierachy levels. The customer wants to bypass the query varible screen (hierarchy node varible, year, month,mandatory) by selecting the node either from dropdown box or radio button or link from the intranet web page. This is little bit challenging for me. How can I create nodes, level by level and pass to the queryString. What is the best way to implement this.
Thanks for your help.

Moorthy -
A dropdown or radio button will work but you will need to use JavaScript to pass the hierarchy and node values and build the command through URL parameterization. First you will need to set the hierarchy, this can be done by passing a hierarchy value to a hierarchy variable using the "Set Variable Values" command. Then you can filter to a specific node using the "Set Selection State Simple" command. This link is a good place to start and get familiar with the fundamentals.

A bit of advice learned the hard way. When filtering the node, you must use the "Set Selection State Simple" command and include the controlling area as part of the string.

Creation of Variable for Hierarchy Node

Greetings...fellow matez,
 I am using Characteristic "0PROFIT_CTR" : PROFIT CENTER
 Here, I created used SAP Standard variable 0N_PCTR (Profit Center/Profit Center Hierarchy)
 This meets my requirement of allowing User to Input the TOP MOST Hierarchy Node basically means my Hierarchy.
 Now, what I need is the ability of a User Input/Key In Variable to ask for a specific Node of my Hierarchy instead of just the 'main' hierarchy
Let me demonstrate with an example :-
At the moment, I have a variable defined for "0PROFIT_CTR". So, I am able to choose "XXX GROUP" as my hierarchy.
Now, under this "XXX Group" I have several Sub-Nodes like XXX-Functional Groups ; XXX-Business Units; XXX-Subsidaries.
How can I create a variable which prompts for this Subnodes of my hierarchy ?

Matez,
Issue remains unresolved.
What I need is a Hierarchy - NODE variable for my "Profit and Loss" Hierarhy
But, when I use the variable option in the 'Selecting Variable for Hierarchy' scree, I only get to choose my Hierarchy instead of my Hierarchy Node.
How can I created a variable of type Hierarchy-NODE instead of Hierarchy for my characteristic "0Account"
Kindly advice matez!

Search Help for Hierarchy Node in SAP BW 7.3

Hi Experts,
We were previously using SAP BW 7.1 system and we had a table which used to be maintained through SM30 which has a customed search help on one of the fields for a hierarchy object. And it was working perfectly.
However, one of our systems have just been migrated into 7.3 version and the above functionality is no longer working.
This is what is happening now:
- User selects a hierarchy and after selection nothing is being displayed on field on the table.
We have tried to debug this customed search help in both environments to distinguish what is wrong. We have noted that a standard function module (RRSV_IOBJ_VALUE_OUTPUT) is not behaving similarly. In 7.1 system, the C_T_DATA table is being filled whereby in the 7.3 system, it is empty.
Do you think this is the issue?
Please do advise and propose what can be done to make it work. Or any idea on how to create a new search help for a hierarchy node in 7.3?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
one more thing i will like to add here is in BW 7.3 you get a new security admin feature that allows you to make mass changes to authorizations instead of one-by-one. This can be done by cut-and-paste in a worklist, hierarchy nodes, and you can also add users to multiple analysis authorizations.
The u2018newu2019 authorizations has both the data value and hierarchy restrictions. You can still build using the u201CRSECADMINu201D transaction
Also make sure that all objects are in the TLIBG library and they will be 'shielded' during the upgrade.

Different colors for hierarchy nodes in WEBI 4.0 (Possible or not)

Hi Everyone,
We have been listening a lot about the capability of Webi 4.0 in terms of Hierarchies from BW BEx Query. It works just fine like in BEx Analyzer, but is it possible to create formatted reports like we do in Crystal reports to display different colors for the hierarchy nodes. The reason for asking about this functionality is though Crystal Enterprise also inherits Hierarchical view from BEx Query we still won't be able to drill down in real time to do some interactive analysis.
Where as Webi 4.0 can allow us to do interactive analysis by allowing us to drill down on the hierarchies, but it would be great to show the Webi report with different colors for the hierarchy nodes along with the drill down functionality, to give users the best look and feel while working with these reports.
I am trying to achieve this functionality but I am not successful yet and running out of ideas. I am also not sure if this is possible or not. Can anyone throw some light or share there thoughts on this.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
SRV

Create a variable with:
=[Object].Depth
where [Object] has to be the one containing the BEx hierarchy.
This function will return the hierarchy level starting with 0 (zero).
You can use the value of the variable the in the formatting rules:
variable equal [hierarchy level]
to format all hierarchy nodes on the given level.

Variable for hierarchy node using in authorization

Hi all,
I have the following problem:
When I create a variable for a hierarchy node and I use it for the authorization, I have the possibility to say, that a user can see all elements under a node.
But it should now be possible, that the user can also see the usage of this node bottom-up ( multi-level usage of this node ).
Is there a possibilty ?
Thanks
Dieter

Hi,
I would suggest you provide more details than just "doesn't work". In addition keep in mind that this is a forum and not an official support channel. In case you need a faster response you should talk to the support team.

How set up visualization attributes for Hierarchy nodes?

I have a hierarchy for 0ACCOUNT and i see in the report the hierarchy totally expanded but in the Query Designer i can
set the values for 0ACCOUNT to show the ID only for every account but the hierarchy have more nodes (text nodes in addition to accounts) i need that ONLY TEXT NODES show the Description of Text Nodes instead of Technical Node ID........in query designer you could set for accounts that show Text, ID or both but in for text nodes there´s no way to do this.......in Query execution you could set up this with extended menu....and you could set up that only shows Text for Hierechy nodes.....I hope somebody could help me with this...
Regards

You are right, the only way to do that is save the query as workbook, then setup the description, text, etc in the workbook , and finally save the workbook in the way you want to view.

Creating custom class instances for XML nodes

Hi guys,
I'm trying to load an external XML document in my application
and create an instance of a custom class for each node in the XML
based on the value of some of their elements. The instances created
will eventually end up in a DataGrid by the way. The problem I'm
having is there seems to be many ways of doing small parts of this
and I have no idea how to make them all gel. Initially I'm using
HTTPService to load the XML file but I've seen people just use an
XML object. Then, after that, I initially set the loaded XML to an
ArrayCollection but others have used XMLList or XMLListCollection.
I've no idea what's the best way to do this.
Eventually, when I've created all of these instances by
looping over the XML and creating them how will I make them
bindable to the data grid? I'm guessing I'll have to group them
somehow...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey Tracy,
That is exactly what I was talking about in a previous post
you replied to
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=585&threadid=1344350
Anyhow, Below is some code I created to do what your saying
somewhat dynamically. The idea being you can have many different
object types that you may want to populate with data from XML. In
my case I am using e4x as the result type from my web services. At
present I have about 6 different classes that call this function.
I'd love to get some opinions on the function. Good bad or

InteractiveForm - Create one PDF site for every node element

Hi experts,
how it is possible to create for every node (1..n or 0..n) element a PDF page?
E.g.:
- Node (0..n) (Element 1)
          - att1 value: a_1
          - att2 value: a_2
should be the first PDF site...
- Node (0..n) (Element 2)
          - att1 value: b_1
          - att2 value: b_2
should be the second PDF site..
Thanks in advance...

Thanks Leonard
On the surface that looks a mighty powerful product that probably goes far beyond what we require. Looking at the system requirements, it seems that some specific Application Servers are needed (is this correct?), which we won't have. Am I correct in thinking this is a modular based product, in that I buy a base product (being LiveCycle ES ... not sure what this product does on it's own) and then add a module such as PDF Generator to it?
It's difficult to glean from the product web site exactly what this product is all about but my gut feel is it'll be a few steps beyond what we need to achieve. I might be wrong, so feel free to pull me up there but it seems this is along the lines of a total back-end Adobe solution.
If you have any other suggestions I'd be grateful, otherwise I may need to continue down the "clunky yet serviceable" HTML to PDF route

Creating a Process chain for hierarchy under 0Cust_Sales: Attrib? Text? too

Hi,
I have a standard hierarchy under 0Cust_Sales which I need to create a process chain for so that this hierarchy will be updated from R3 on a daily basis.
What is normal to do in this case:
Create a
1. Create a process chain to load the Hierarchy under this 0Cust_Sales?
Or,
2. Create a process chain to load the Hierarchy and the Attrib?
Or,
3. Create a process chain to load the Hierarchy, the Attrib and Text?
What is the pros and cons of each choice?
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for the confusion...yes I mean attributes by master data.
Do you load with master data for 0cust_Sales separately, before loading the Attrib, Text and Hierarchy (in order)?
attribute text and hieracrhy are the master data for 0cust_sales.
You load attributes first and then text and then hierarchy.This is not a rule but for the better control and understanding.
But keep a seperate chain for each along with the same grouping like all the attributes load together in same chain and text load together and hierarchy load together in other chains.
Since attributes change frequently and you need to reload it everyday therefore keep it separate
Hierachy may give you tough time with failures in process chains and will not change frequently so keep it separately in another chain.
You need to use an attribte change run (change run) after any new master data is loaded.
this is done to reallign the new SID'S created for the new master data object with that of cubes where they are used and affect these changes in the aggregates which are built on them.
So better put it after the three chains have run or atleast after the master data chain has finished.
Thanks

Customer Exit for Hierarchy node

Hi Experts,
I have a Hierarchy variable in the BEx report. While entering the value for the hierarchy if the user clicks on F4 help it shows the complete hierarchy structure.
In the hierarchy we have 6 levels. I wanted to write a exit so that user can see all the nodes with hierarchy level 4.
I have written an ABAP code which returns the same. My question is I have to copy the complete code in the include ZXRSRU01 or I can keep that separate.
and alsowanted to know whether my requirement can be achieved by this or not.
If yes, than what will be the sample coding keeping in mind that i have all the data in iternal table say 'itab' of ABAP Program.

Select Filter value for Hierarchy node taking long time

Dear Experts,
I am facing an issue with the Filter value selection in a BEx query and searched the forum for a solution but found none.
I have a free characteristic with hierarchy enabled for it and the Filter value selection at Query execution has been set to 'Values in Master data table' in the query definition and in the Multiprovider as well.
However, whenever the filter value selection is performed, the values are being read from teh underlying infocubes instead of the Master data.
We tried checking the BIA Index for the cube as well as the InfoObject and all is fine.
Can someone please point what might be going wrong here.
Thanks & Regards,
Sonal

Could you please check as per Note 1565809 and make sure the F4 mode is really M mode in each level settings?
