Creation of Hierarchial datasource in 7.0

Hello,
I want to create an extractor ( 7.0 ), for loading hierarchy into an infoobject. I came to know that its not possible to create Hierarchial datasource
in 7.0 flow ( possible only in 3.X).
still is it possible to create one through RSA2 transaction?
In RSA2, if i create a new datasource, there is a field DataSource Type--> and the F4 help gives an option of HIER ( Hierarchy nodes )
is it the right way to create one??
Thanks
Karthik

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
The BW10 transaction does not seem to exist.
And i followed the steps mentioned in the link. In step 3, after entering the source system, i am getting a pop-up where i am asked to select
a datasource.
Here there are only two datasources present for selection
one is attribute datasource , other one is datasource for loading text. ( which were already there).
Here i am supposed to get another datasource name ( Hirearchial datasource ). I know that i have to create one before following the steps mentioned in the link.
( So that i get my hirearchail datasource name for selection in that pop up )
my question was how do i go about creating this datasource. In RSO2 transaction , i can create datasources for loading text, attributes and transactional data.
There is no option for creating Hirearchail datasource.

How to create a hierarchy datasource in R/3

Hello,
We use the 0MATERIAL_LKLS_HIER hierarchy datasource to load material hierachy in BW.
I had to modify the function module that creates the data for 0MATERIAL_LKLS_HIER.
Now, i need to create a new datasource based on the new function module.
To do so, i created a generic datasource (with SBIW), a master data attributes datasource.
I tried to put the same parameters that in 0MATERIAL_LKLS_HIER, but i didn't find how to indicate that it's a hierarchy and some other parameters (as you can see in RSA2 for 0MATERIAL_LKLS_HIER in the "semantic attributes" area).
Also, i couldn't run the new datasource in RSA3 because it didn't show me the right selection fields.
Could you tell me if there is a specific transaction to create hierarchy datasources ?
Thank you.

Flat File Hierarchy Datasources

We are creating several flat file hierarchy datasources. The datasources will be maintained in an external database.
I am familiar with the creation of flat file datasources for master and transactional data, but don't have good documentation for how the external flat file hierarchy is to be formatted.
We have reviewed the 2004 Netweaver Document "How to Download Hierarchies in BW" and have used the program referenced there, Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD, to download our hierarchies to then test the upload.
However, this has not worked.
Does anyone have the record layout that the flat file must be in to upload a simple 2-level hierarchy (for example groupings of 0vendor)?
Thanks, Doug

I think the URL you mention is http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fa/e92637c2cbf357e10000009b38f936/content.htm.
This contains the record layout instructions as follows.
5. Maintaining the hierarchy:
Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy.
PSA Transfer Method: You have the option here to set the Remove Leaf Value and Node InfoObjects indicator. As a result, characteristic values are not transferred into the hierarchy fields NODENAME, LEAFFROM and LEAFTO as is normally the case, but in their own transfer structure fields. This option allows you to load characteristic values having a length greater than 32 characters.
Characteristic values with a length > 32 can be loaded into the PSA, but they cannot be updated in characteristics that have a length >32.
The node names for pure text nodes remain restricted to 32 characters in the hierarchy (0HIER_NODE characteristic).
The system automatically generates a table with the following hierarchy format (for sorted hierarchies without removed leaf values and node InfoObjects):
Description
Field Name
Length
Type
Node ID
NODEID
8
NUMC
InfoObject name
INFOOBJECT

Can a hierarchy datasource be copied in R/3 system?

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein I have to copy an existing hierarchy datasource. Is it possible to copay a hierarchy datasource? If yes, how?
Is it possible to create a hierarchy datasource in R/3? if yes, how?
Please reply.
Thanks and regards
Rajib

Hi
You need to do some workaround
The user exit EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 in the R/3 source system allows you to enhance your hierarchy DataSources.
Configure the Extractor in R/3
create an empty hierarchy,
generate the DataSource, and
populate it with data from the table via EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004

The creation of export datasource failed.

Hi everyone! This is Chong Tao from Central Michigan University and I got one problem recently when I was doing my set-up of the BW course. I actually wanna copy the infocube but when I click the "Generate export datasource", it automatically comes up one error message "The creation of export Datasource failed". What should I do to overcome this problem? Thanks for paying attention to this problem and I need your valuable advice as soon as possible since it is for the student in this SAP BW course.

Hi,
I guess your objective is to copy an existing infocube. Right ?
In that case, Right Click Infocube and use 'copy'. This will create another Infocube with the same structure, but with no data. You can then fill this copy Infocube by cerating transformation between the two infocubes and scheduling through DTP.
'Generate export datasource' can normally be done when there are two separate BW systems and you want an Infocube to be a source of data to another Infocube in a different BW system( though it can be used in the same BW system as well).
Best Regards

Hierarchy Datasources in modified status

Folks,
Hierarchy datasources (replicated ones from R/3) are all in the modified version. They are 3.x datasources. I tried to activate them using following methods:
1) replicated them again
2) activated the transfer rule again
3) installed the datasource on BW side again
3) tried using program RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL
None of the above methods worked and the datasources are still in the modified version. Though the loading status are all green but it seems that no changes updated in BW.
Please guide/suggest. Thanks in advance.

hi all,
i assume you guys are on NW04s BI 7.0, all DataSource that are created in BI 7.0 are new design, master data attribute, text and transaction DataSource can all be created in the new BI 7.0, but for hierarchy DataSource, it remains as 3.X, if you double click on the Hier DataSource, you will see the title "...Emulated 3.X ...", so the DataSource should be working perfectly fine except it is in "Modified" version, i believe it is just SAP has not or can't a way to upgrade hier DataSource.
cheers.

Problem in activating the Hierarchy Datasource for 0CostElmnt

Hello Experts,
Can you please suggest, how to activate the standard hierarchy datasource -0costelement for mapping it to the respective hierarchy (0CostElement). For this I have replicated the datasource and activated using BI Content. But inspite of this, respective datasource is not getting activated in SAP BI.
So can anyone suggest me how to activate the datasource.
Thanks
PT

Hi PT,
Based on your SAP patch level & error message number, y need to apply SAP note to resolve this error. If you provide correct error message, so we can suggest. Try to active business content grouping the before & after words. Sometime dependent objects my missed also y may get inactive in Transfer rules.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishna.

Hierarchy datasource is showing wrong number of records

Hi,
I have to load hierarchies from r/3 to BW.when i test my hierarchy DataSource in RSA6 number of records its showing is 40,where as my R/3 system has 45 records for the same hierarchy.Can any one please let me know why its showing different number of records and how to overcome this problem.

Hello VaKa,
How r u ?
Just load the data to the PSA and identify which records are missing, you can do this, u have small amount of data. Then you can identify which 5 records are missing and it will help to find the reason as well.

How to migrate hierarchy datasources?

hi friends

can any one plz give me a sol for migrating the hierarchy datasources..
Thanx in adv

As of now you cannot migrate hierarchy datasources. You still have to stick to the older way of loading hierachies. TR/Infopackage..

Cant Migrate 3.x Hierarchy Datasource

as the title says we can migrate all our datasources from 3.x to bi7 but we do not get the option with the hierarchy datasources, is there any reason for this and if so what are the steps to overcome this.
Thanks

Hi,
There is no new method to create Hierarchy in BI7.0 So, we have to follow the same steps as in BW 3.5.
So,There is no need to migrate.
Thanks & Regards,

The Creation of Export DataSource Failed Error while transporting ODS Cube

Hi All,
I am facing this issue from last 1 week.. i had developed an ODS cube in APO-DP BW which will fetch data from SAP R/3 and its working fine in APO Dev Server. But when i transport this cube into APO PAC(Prodn Server) the below error i am getting..
   Start of the after-import method RS_ODSO_AFTER_IMPORT for object type(s) ODSO (Activation Mode)
   The creation of the export DataSource failed
   Password logon no longer possible - too many failed attempts
   Password logon no longer possible - too many failed attempts
   Error when creating the export DataSource and dependent Objects
   Error when activating DataStore Object ZANAUTSL
I also updated the transport conversion tables but still problem not resolved.
Immediate help is hightly appreciated.
Thanx
AJ

Hi AJ,
Looking at your error, it seems that the RFC user's password is locked and hence connectivity from R/3 towards APO BW is broken.
You know the name of your export datasource (from R/3 to APO BW). Find out the name of your R/3 source system e.g. PACCLT000, by scrolling to the right against teh export data source.
Take help of your Basis or EAI team to identify the RFC destination corresponding to the connectivity from the R/3 source system (PACCLT000) to your APO BW system. (If needed ask for help from your BW team, I am not very sure how connectivity would be set up from R/3 to APO BW, I guess this would be independent from CIF connectivity)
For this RFC connection from R/3 to APO BW, see which RFC user is maintained in SM59 in APO and ask your security team to reset (or unlock) the password of this RFC user in R/3, and then if required update the user password details in SM59 in APO also.
After this, your issue should get resolved.
Thanks - Pawan

Problem during creation of hierarchy

hai gurus,
my problem is while creating hierarchy on particular char InfoObject
it will shows an error "The import parameters were not filled correctly"
in a pop box.
how can create a hierarchy pls help me.

Hi DJR,
here the procedure for creating Hierarchy through the flat file..go through it. istill if u have any concerns please update in sdn..
     Hierachy through flat file
     First create a flat file save as in .CSV format. Then close the file.
       Create info area in info object then info object catalog opens then create it then info object screen opens then another screen opens were you will give data type, length then select option hierarchy tab, then select it simply select the check box with hierarchies.
        Select attribute tab in that name, age, address, phone then activate it then come back to the main screen then select characters right click a small screen open then select info object then a small screen opens then create sales region and activate it.
     Then return back to the main screen then click characters right click on it then a small window opens then select info object option & create sales office and activate it.
     Then return to the main screen then select characters then the ID then the double click on it then the other screen opens select hierarchy tab then select external chars in hierarchies then click on it then other screen opens then select find tab then give the sales region info object name and click continue then it finds the name.
     The name would be scroll on the other screen then the office should be find the same way as region then office would be scroll on the other screen then continue and activate it.
     Then come back to the main screen then go to info source option then it opens then create application component then it opens other screen then click continue it
     Then create info source for master data then select direct update option there give the name of the info object of as ex; YID_AS2 then click continue.
     Then the YID_AS@ could be seen in the main screen then right click on it. Then a small option opens then click assign data source option then other screen opens there it gives the empty space double click on it then PC file then click continue then another window opens click continue then again screen opens click continue again a pop up screen opens click continue.
     Then another screen opens there the attribute data source then activate it then select hierarchy activate it then the left side data structure/ hierarchy then click on it then it opens another screen then click hire maintenance button .
     Then give the hierarchy name (your wish) then go with continue then yes then save then go back to the main screen.
     Then maintain the flat file as node id, info object, node name, link name, parent no.
     Then info package creation then click on the flat file right clicks on it then a other screen opens then select attribute data source and then continue.
     Then other screen opens then select external data tab in .CSV then click 1 the enter preview then another screen opens then click then it shows the preview then schedule then start then monitor click on it then it opens other screen then click on the master data then we can see the data then go back to the main screen.
     Then select the flat file right click on it then it gives other screen then select hierarchy in that then click continue then it opens other screen then select hierarchy selection tab there you can see the file name then select the button of hierarchy.
     Then select External data then the file name in CSV then processing tab only psa option with update subsequently in data targets then the update it schedule start then the monitor then go to the main screen.
     Then go to info object then select the file id which you have given then double click on it then select hierarchy or text file then the contents then execute it.
     Create a transaction table , cube in a normal way. We can see the result in reports we have to give the hierarchy name in the properties of rows where we drag the characteristics id then we can see the records which we have entered manusally after executing the report.

Creation of export datasource failed

Hi All.
i copied a bussiness content data source object (DSO) and tried to activate it. it is giving error that
"The creation of the export DataSource failed"
Why ??? where m i going wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Mo

Hello,
This is the problem becos the system is unable to create DATAMART for DSO object. The following reasons might be hindering the creation of DSO. Please check whether
1) You have proper authorization to create Datasource/Datamarts.
2) If so then, check whether DATAMART for the BW Self Source System is properly Installed from Business Content. (I hope you are working on the version 3.5 or later.. here we need to manually install Aplication Component related to Datamart from Business Content so that Datamart creation never fails after that)
3) Also check BW Self Source System is properly functioning.
Thanks
