Customising hierarchies

Hi
I am manually changing the product hierarchies in BW as there is not much of change from last year.
I am doing it in Test environment first. I have to add one new node and prod hier for it.
I have created a new node, but I couldnt create a new prod hier node to enter the hierarchy (18 digit no) in it. The only option I get is insert prod hier and open up with existing nodes
Can anyone advise me on how to add the new one?
Thanks in advance

No you cant but a good suggestion

Values not getting displayed in the selection screen for Hierarchies?

Hi All,
Our system was upgraded from BW 3.1 to 2004s. The quality system displayes values when query result is filtered for a hierarchy infoobject but the production system does not display any values and sometimes throws an error 'The operation failed because of a server error. See system logs.' There is no changes done for hierarchies in both the systems.
Please let me know if anyone has had similar problems.

Report performance with Hierarchies

Hi
How to improve query performance with hierarchies. We have to do lot of navigation's in the query and the volume of data size very big.

Query Performance Is "Aggregates" the way out for me?
/people/vikash.agrawal/blog/2006/04/17/query-performance-150-is-aggregates-the-way-out-for-me
° the OLAP cache is architected to store query result sets and to give all users access to those result sets.
If a user executes a query, the result set for that querys request can be stored in the OLAP cache; if that same query (or a derivative) is then executed by another user, the subsequent query request can be filled by accessing the result set already stored in the OLAP cache.
In this way, a query request filled from the OLAP cache is significantly faster than queries that receive their result set from database access
° The indexes that are created in the fact table for each dimension allow you to easily find and select the data
see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a6473e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
° when you load data into the InfoCube, each request has its own request ID, which is included in the fact table in the packet dimension.
This (besides giving the possibility to manage/delete single request) increases the volume of data, and reduces performance in reporting, as the system has to aggregate with the request ID every time you execute a query. Using compressing, you can eliminate these disadvantages, and bring data from different requests together into one single request (request ID 0).
This function is critical, as the compressed data can no longer be deleted from the InfoCube using its request IDs and, logically, you must be absolutely certain that the data loaded into the InfoCube is correct.
see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ca/aa6437e7a4080ee10000009b38f842/content.htm
° by using partitioning you can split up the whole dataset for an InfoCube into several, smaller, physically independent and redundancy-free units. Thanks to this separation, performance is increased when reporting, or also when deleting data from the InfoCube.

BW hierarchies issue with BOBJ Reporting tools

Hi All,
Brief about the requirement:
Our client was using Mainframe and other tools for their reporting. Now as they have planned to go for SAP, purchased SAP BW 7 and SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 for warehouse and reporting purposes.
Initial Road map planned for implementation was
o     to use Crystal for operational and formatted reporting
o     to use WebI for Ad hoc and interactive reporting
o     to use Xcelsius for Dashboards
Once we started analysing the requirements, we observed that client requires hierarchies extensively for reporting and they donu2019t want to compromise in that for reporting. At this situation we have explored the options and came to know from the SAP sites that BO got limitations in case of BW hierarchies. But we not able to articulate the what is the exact issue. Is it with only WebI or Crystal also?
What we have articulated is we cannot report the hierarchies in BO in terms of nodes - > Sub nodes -> sub nodes instead we can do as fixed columns. Please add me if i am missing anything else.
And also please let us know options. Options that we were thinking are Implement with BO XI 3.1 considering Advanced analysis tool then upgrade to BO XI 4.1.
Please suggest us, what is the BW & BO hierarchy issue and right tools to use.
Thanks & Regards,
Bala

Our client uses XI 3.2 but is experiencing issues with Hierarchical BEX queries returning blanks - the mdx is fine - just webi that seems to have a problem and I'm also trying to determine in exactly which instances this occurs.
XI 4.x supposedly resolves mots issues but here again details are not known.
I.e. hopefully someone can point to an info source that describes in more detail what issues are likely to occur re hierarchies and webi.

How can I use one hierarchical table as a node of another hierarchical tabl

I have a requirement where I have two hierarchical tables and one table should work as node for other table . How to achieve this??
To elaborate more the structure is like
Main Table (Company Structure)
Sub table Consolidation Groups which has got hierarchical structure
Sub table Entity which is also hierarchical.
The Entity table should act as a node for table Consolidation Groups
How can I achieve this functionality??
Thanks
Suvarna

you misunderstood me apparently. I said you can't organinze to tables so one serves as a node's value of the other. Let me show you wnat I suggested by an example.
First table has such values:
-A
|-B
|-C
and the second one is
-x
|-y
|-z
-p
|-r
|-s
I thought you wanted to confine relationships between them so fo B node be able to select only x's branch and for C - only p's branch. If it's similar to the truth then let's create another table with two fields. Field one points to table containing capital letters and field two - lower case letters. Both fields are of type lookup pointing to an hierachial tables. Now when you populate this table you'll create records like (I list two columns):
B - y
B - z
C - r
C - s
from your orinal table from now you should point to the above table. So instead of having two fields each pointing to its own table and compeling you to think how to organize two hierarchies, now you have only one field pointing to a table with all valid combinations. When you populate this table though YOU have to decide what such combinations are. It may make sense (if you have different users) to restrict access to this table on read-only level for regular users to preserve the valid combinations.
Hope it helps but if I understood your wrong give a concrete example.

Data Federator - Hierarchies and Text Descriptions

Hi,
I am trying to create WEBI reports on the top of SAP BW. The universe is connecting to SAP BW via Data Federator. I am facing issues with the hierarchy creation. The hierarchies created in the InfoProvider (Multicube - from CRM data source) are not available in the Universe. I can't create the hierarchies in the universe as all the levels of the hierarchy are not available in the multicube. I need to get the hierarchy data from the CRM data source directly. But the valid sources for DF with respect to SAP BW are just cubes. Kindly let me know if there are any workarounds. Please let me know if more details are needed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi
Officially SAP BW hierarchies are not suppoerted for the Data Federator (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/LeveragingDataFederatorinSAP+integrations). What you can do is to use also the SAP R/3 connector (SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence Reporting for SAP ERP [original link is broken] .Note this is prototype not a product) and fetch your CRM data also in the virtual tables of the DF. Still you have to rebuild your hierarchies manually in the universe.

Deployment Workbench - how to capture an image after customisation?

I have deployed Vista to a machine using WinPE (Created through Workbench) and chose the option when deploying "Prepare for capture"
I then customised Vista - in this case removing the Fax applications and ran Sysprep with OOBE, Generalise and Shutdown.
In workbench I created a new task sequence 'Standard Client Replace task sequence' which seems to be the right task to capture an image.
When selecting the task when booting the machine with WinPE, it forces me to capture the user data - I cannot select 'Do not save data and settings'
I must be doing something wrong!
What I want to do is:
Deploy Vista
Install some apps manually i.e. not using a task sequence
Capture the image
Deploy to machines
How can I do this using Workbench? Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I suggest referring to the following article:
Creating a Computer Image
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977918.aspx
If you select “Capture an image of this reference computer” on the “Specify whether to capture an image” page when running Deployment Wizard, it will sysprep and capture the system for you automatically.
If you would like to
“Install Vista and prepare for capture
Install my own applications WITHOUT using task sequences
Capture the OS”,
I am afraid that you do not need to use MDT (you cannot perform a LTI without running Task Sequences). You can do this by only using WDS.
1.   Install and configure the WDS Server.
2.   Add the default Windows Server 2008 boot image to the WDS Server.
3.   Create Capture Boot Image and add it to boot image in WDS Server.
4. Create a reference computer (install the operating system, applications, and make any other changes)
5. Sysprep.
6. PXE boot the reference computer into capture image on the boot screen and then capture the image (If non-PXE supported, make a discover image to boot)
7. Upload the captured image to WDS server.
8. Clients can PXE boot and install Windows (If non-PXE supported, use a discover image to boot).
Hope it helps.

Idoc DEBCOR - Extend use to Business Partners and customise

I am writing a high level technical design document on a new interface for my current client. We are currently in the scoping/blueprint phase.
We will be implementing CRM(?), ECC 6.0 and PI7.0
I have been tasked with writing/creating an outbound interface from CRM/ECC to send Business Partners from ECC to an external application via PI. Preferably using standard SAP functions/transactions!
Can I use the DEBCOR Idoc and customise/add the additional segments I require for the additional fields for this interface?
I was hoping to use BD12 (send Customers - Master Data Distribution) as well, but unfortunately, I do not have a sandpit/development system to use yet as we are still "blueprinting", therefore I am unable to test my assumptions before finalising the HTD document.
If DEBCOR cannot be used is there any logic in use the ADRMAS anc customising this?
I was hoping to use change pointers as well, but I guess once I have the Idoc configured, I can work out the distribution model in BD64..
Has anyone sent Business Partners from ECC and if so, what methods were used?

I am going to try and see if BusinessPartnerDataManagementBusinessPartnerEventOut.informBusinessPartnerAsBulk fits my requirements.

Excel Pivot Table with Date Hierarchies - query performance degradation

For the sake of this explanation, I’m going to try and keep it simple. Slicing the data by additional dimensions only makes the issue worse. I’ll keep this description to one fact table and three dimensions. Also, I’m fairly new to SSAS Tabular; I’ve worked
with SSAS Multidimensional in the past.
We’ve got a fact table that keeps track of bill pay payments made over time. Currently, we only have about six months of data, with the fact row count at just under 900,000 rows. The grain is daily.
There is an Account dimension (approx. 460,000 rows), with details about the individual making a payment.
There is a Payment Category dimension (approx.. 35,000 rows), which essentially groups various Payees into groups which we like to report on: Automobile Loan, Mortgage, Insurance, etc.
There is the requisite Date dimension (exactly 62093 rows-more days than we need?), which allows visibility as to what is being paid when.
Using this DW model, I’ve created a SSAS BISM Tabular model, from which Excel 2010 is ultimately used to perform some analysis, using Pivot Tables. In the tabular model, for easier navigation (doing what I’ve always done in SSAS MultiDimensional), I’ve created
several Date Hierarchies, Year-Month, Year-Quarter-Month, etc.
There are currently only two measures defined in the Tabular model: one for the “Sum of PaymentAmount”; one for the “PaymentsProcessed”.
OK, in Excel 2010, using a Pivot Table, drag the “Sum of PaymentAmount” measure to the Values section, next to/under the PivotTable Field List. Not too exciting, just the grand total of all Payments, for all time.
Drag the “YearMonth” hierarchy (from the Date dimension) to the “Column Labels” section. After expanding the year hierarchy to see the months, now the totals are for each of the months, for which we have data, for June through November, 2013.
Drag the “PaymentCategory” (from the Payment Categories dimension) to the “Report Filter” section. Filter accordingly: We just want to see the monthly totals for “Automobile Loans”.
Now, some details. Drag the “AccountSK” (hiding the actual account numbers) to the “Row Labels” section. This shows all accounts that have made Automobile Loan payments over the last six months, showing the actual payment amounts.
So far, so good. Remember, I’m using a Date Hierarchy here, in this case “YearMonth”
Now, if any of the other attributes on the Account dimension table, say “CreditScore”, or “LongName”, are subsequently dragged over to the “Row Lables” section, under the “AccountSK”, the results will never come back, before timing out or by giving up and
pressing ESCape!
If this exact scenario is done by removing the Date Hierarchy, “YearMonth” from the “Column Labels” and replace it with “Year” and “MonthName” attributes from the Date dimension, these fields not being in any sort of hierarchy, adding an additional “Account”
attribute does not cause any substantial delay.
What I’m trying to find out is why is this happening? Is there anything I can do as a work around, other than what I’ve done by not using a Date Hierarchy? Is this a known issue with DAX and the query conversion to MDX? Something else?
I’ve done a SQL Profiler trace, but I’m not sure at this point what it all means. In the MDX query there is a CrossJoin involved. There are also numerous VertiPaq Scans which seems to be going through each and every AccountSK in the Account dimension, not
just the ones filtered, to get an additional attribute (About 3,600 accounts which are “Automobile Loan” payments.).
Any thoughts?
Thanks! Happy Holidays!
AAO

Thanks for your reply Marco. I've been reading your book, too, getting into Tabular.
I've set up the Excel Pivot Table using either the Year/MonthName levels, or the YearMonth hierarchy and then adding the additional attribute for the CreditScore.
Incidentally, when using the YearMonth hierarchy and adding the CreditScore, all is well, if the Year has not been "opened". When this is done, I suspect the same thing is going on.
From SQL Profiler, each of the individual MDX queries below (formatted a bit for readability).

Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
Requirement:
Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
Preferred solution:
The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
Thanks everyone for your input...
Claus
Edited by: Claus64 on Jul 13, 2009 4:10 AM

HI CLause,
On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
FYI: Found a solution...
The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
Claus
See this thread:
Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
many thanks

Help with customised login JSP on SSO server

Our customised version of the SSO login page JSP is required to access a database table in order to retrieve a dynamic message to display. This means we will need to create utility java classes in order to connect to the database and retrieve the information. We will also ideally need a data source on the SSO APP Server that we can reference in order to avoid hard-coding environment specific connection data.
Can anyone help out on where we will need to install the utility classes and where the data source can be created in order for the login JSP to see them. Is there any other configuration we need to consider e.g. classpaths etc?
The coding we are fine with, it is the actual "what goes where and don't forget to include this" that we are unsure of.

Hello St***,
Did you accomplished the cusomized SSO logon page with database access. If yes can you please provide met with some examples and instructions how to accomplish this.

Customise your Windows XP install CD

If you currently only own a legit Windows XP Home or Pro CD, which is either original or SP1a integrated, when it comes to doing a new install or a repair install, having to reinstall SP2 again can be a bit of a pain, not to mention another lengthy procedure
So why not make yourself an updated XP SP2 disc, so at least if you have to reinstall Windows, you can reinstall to the latest version without any further messing.
The "slipstreaming" procedure, also allows you to integrate additional drivers and hotfixes, so they are all present when you do a new install.
Here are some links that allow you to customise and create your own XP install CD. Note that you will still need a valid Product Key to install any version of Windows XP, and you will also require a genuine Windows XP install CD.
Please note that the MSI Forum is not responsible for the content of external links; links are provided for reference only. If you need any help, or want to ask questions then please start a new topic. MSI Forum also does not advocate the use of illegally obtained software; any references or links to illegal versions of Windows will be removed.

MSFN - Unattended XP CD Guide

I personally have built a DVD with the MSFN how to guide. The actual XP build was very easy when using the Microsot tool "setupmgr.exe" (MS Setup Manager for XP). The product nLite worked well also.
But before I go on I should tell everyone that wants to try this to go get a copy of VMware Workstation http://www.vmware.com. It will cost you a good amout but it will save so much time and energy. Before you install it though yo best have a pc strong enough for the task. I found a Pentium 4 w/HT and a Pentium D to wrk just fine when you also tack on 3 or more GB's of RAM.
I should warn all that the next parts may burn a hole in your head.
My WinXP Pro SP2 was also complimented with a complete unattended install of every program I wanted installed on my PC. Usng Batch coding and RunOnceX commands was very hard and very time consuming. It took me almost 4 months to learn how to use those and it never really paid off. I then found a program called "Windows-Post Installer". You cn find it at http://www.wpiw.net/. That program made it so much easier and I could tell myself what programs do, before I install them, via descriptions. When you look at the site you will see what I mean.
OK, let's get real down and dirty. "SWITCHES", my own personal demons. I found it so frustrating that a switch would work on one version of software and one version of WPI but not work on mine. I had to learn what one meant, set it up, and then test. I then found some switches to not work correctly in a vurtual enviroment. Lord save me from myself, PLEASE .
All of this is explained in much detail at the MSFN how-to http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/1/. They have updated alot of there information since I pull my hair out. So read on peoples for the only one that can help you is reading this right now, that does not in anyway shape or form mean ME, lol!

Slow Hierarchical Query

Hi,
I have a hierarchical query which takes 2 seconds to execute. I need to get this down to milli seconds.
The table has around 8000 records. The query will never return more than 20 or so records. There is only ever 2 levels to the query.
I am quite surprised at this because it is a very simple query no table joins etc and I would have though 8000 records was nothing for Oracle.
Select id, parent_id, col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6
from my_table
where id=500
start with parent_id is null
connect by prior id = parent_id;
I have even tried initializing the start with say with 0 and making it a not null column...... indexing the columns used in the start with + connect by
I have tried various indexing stratergies. Does anyone have any similar experience? I am using Oracle 9i.
Thanks in advance

How can I utilise the above query in a view if at all? Will I be able to pass in differnt ID's to the START WITH...?Certainly, you can. For example, you can use packaged
public variable to pass a parameter or Oracle CONTEXT:
SQL> create or replace package pass_param is
2    empno emp.empno%TYPE;
3    function get_empno return emp.empno%TYPE;
4 end;
5 /
&nbsp
Package created.
&nbsp
SQL> create or replace package body pass_param is
2    function get_empno return emp.empno%TYPE
3    is
4    begin
5      return empno;
6    end;
7 end;
8 /

&nbsp
SQL> create or replace view emp_v as

3 start with empno = pass_param.get_empno
