Variable-hierarchy node

Hi
I have to create a query.I got some doubts regarding the usage of variables in the query.
1.Suppose if my query is using a characteristic(selection) variable,what difference will it make if I use a hierarchy node variable in that place?
2.If I am using a Characteristic(selection) variable inorder to input lowest leaf level values in a hierarchy,what difference can it make if I use a hierarchy node variable in its place?
Thanks alot for your advice.
Regards.

Hierarchy node variables are useful as they select the node and all the nodes below. To make this selection with chararteristic selection you may have to enter alot of values.
Also a user doesnt need to know all the nodes below,
say for example:
You have a variable on 0EMPLOYEE and a hierarchy ZLOCATION. A hierarchy node variable could be created grouping the users by country, then simply entering node "UK" returns all employees for users in the UK.
Basicly if you are using a hierarchy display on the inofobject it makes sense to use a hierarchy node variable.

WebGUI does not display descriptions of hierarchy nodes in RSH1

Hello,
I want to enable end users to maintain a hierarchy via SAP GUI for HTML.
I built a transaction (ZRSH1_$my-hierarchy) that calls rsh1 directly with the parameters InfoObject and hierarchy name. It works just as expected.
Now when I call my transaction in the WebGUI, it opens the modification view of the expected hierarchy. That's ok.
But the text descriptions of all the nodes are not displayed. It just displays "0HIER_NODE" where the textnode descriptions should be.
Is that a bug? Or can I fix it somehow?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Hi Vicky,
When you talk of views do you want to run the report in the web or the Analyzer?
If its the Analyzer, run your query - open and close whatever nodes you want in your query and on the Properties of the Query ensure that the Interaction Tab - Return to Global Definition is not enabled. Save your workbook and then when you reopen the workbook you will see the nodes opened or closed as you saved them.

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.

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..

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.

Exclude a hierarchy node by using exit variable (not in query designer)

Hi gurus!!
I have a hierarchy for the infoObject 0COSTELMNT. Depending on the user who executes the report, the node '0599ADJUSTMENTS' must be displayed or not.
I am trying to solve it by using an exit variable:
Varible Type: Hierarchy Node
Processing : Exit
On the exit, I have entered the following code:
      IF ( sy-subrc = 0 ).
          l_s_range-sign = 'E' .
          l_s_range-opt = 'EQ' .
          l_s_range-low = 'AJUSTES'.
          APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
     ENDIF.
But unfortunately does no work!!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hierarchy node Variable: F4 Help - Not showing Master data values

Hi,
We're having some problems trying to display the F4 help of a hierarchy node selection variable, to show the master data values so that it would look more complete for the users during report execution.
In the RSD1 setting for the info object, under 'Business Explorer' tab, the 'Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn' is set to 'Only Posted Values for Navigation'.
I thot that we could overwrite this setting at the Query Designer level, but it does not seem to work.
Even tho in the Query Designer, we have already specified the 'Filter Value Selection During Query Execution' to 'Values in Master Data Table', it does not seem to display the master data values.
There is no difference in the F4 values being displayed for the hier node variable, before and after the change in Query Designer.
Could anyone share some tips on other possible solutions to get a hier node selection variable's F4 help to show the master data values, without changing the RSD1 setting at the info object level please ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Femmie.

Hi,
Could you please share the steps you have taken to fix the problem?
We do have a similar problem and for some reason the newly added hierarchy node for 0Profit_ctr is not showing up in the variable selection screen F4 (input selection for query execution). However we can see this node when we display that hierarchy in RSA1. I did try applying the changes recommened by Jerome but unfortunately it didn't work.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

No Query Result After Using Hierarchy Node Variable (Customer Exit)

Hi
I have problem at my query. It doesn't show anything in BEx but when i check the data in BW using tcode LISTCUBE i can display the data.
This problem happen when i change the restrictions for one of characteristic in filter value.
The characteristic is custom Infoobject (ZCPARTNER), which like Infoobject Partner Unit.
Previously I set the restriction with constant value, example : A500,A700,A710,A720,A730,A740 and it worked before.
But when I change it using hierarchy node variable (customer exit), this problem is arise.
Here is my code at ZXRSRU01
WHEN 'ZHIEPART'. --> hierarchy node variable
   BREAK-POINT.
    IF i_step = 2.
    Read from ZZCONSGR information
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
         WHERE vnam = 'ZZCONSGR' OR vnam = 'ZOCONSGR'. --> read input value from consolidation group variable
        CLEAR l_s_range.
        CLEAR l_s_range-low.
        IF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000030000'
           OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010130'.
          l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMDI'.
          l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.
        ELSEIF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000040000'
           OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010160'.
          l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMPI'.
          l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.
        ENDIF.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
        EXIT.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
Here the hierarchy in BW system:
XXX Cons Unit Hierarchy Set; InfoObject ; Node Name
- XXX Cons Unit Hierarchy Set; 0HIER_NODE; ZBUNITALL
- XXX DownStream ... ; OHIER_NODE; MEZBUNITMDI
     - ME/A730; 0CS_UNIT; MEA730
     - ME/A740; 0CS_UNIT; MEA740
- XXX Power ; OHIER_NODE; MEZBUNITMPI
    - ME A800 - A808; OHIER_NODE; MEZBUNITMPI
    - PT Mitra xxx; 0CS_UNIT; MEA820
Anyone can help my problem? Thank you

Hi Satria,
Instead of following code ---
CLEAR l_s_range-low.
IF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000030000'
OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010130'.
l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMDI'.
l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.
ELSEIF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000040000'
OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010160'.
l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMPI'.
l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.
ENDIF.
try this ---
IF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000030000'
OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010130'.
l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMDI'.
ELSEIF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000040000'
OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010160'.
l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMPI'.
ENDIF.
Note : whenver the option is EQ, the system takes only low value.

Customer Exit variable on Hierarchy Node

Hello Experts
I am in the process of creating a Customer Exit variable on a Hierarchy node. This will be populated at run time based on the value of a Characteristic variable.
The Hierarchy is activated and included in the roes of the report. I would like the end result to be exactly the same as it would if I had manually entered a variable in Hierarchy node variable
I have written exits before for Characteristic variables, however, I am unable to get this to work for Hierarchy Node variables. Please find below the code I have prepared so far. I follow the approach of creating a seperate executable program for each Customer Exit variable. This Program will be called by the Exit.
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rrrangesid.
DATA:l_s_var_range TYPE rrrangeexit.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs_var_range> TYPE rrrangeexit.
IF i_step = 2.
    READ TABLE i_t_var_range
    ASSIGNING <fs_var_range>
    WITH KEY vnam = 'ZMO_WBS_LVL2'. " Characteristic variable
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      l_s_range-low = <fs_var_range>-low.
     l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.*
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    endif.
endif.
I would be obliged if anyone can help me understand what is being overlooked. The Query is presently returning "No Applicable data found"
Thanks in advance
Regards
Zubin Kurian

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.

Authorisation in Hierarchy node variable type

Hi,
Is it possible to have a Hierrachy Node variable that is processed by Authorisations ?
Regards,
Saurabh Diwakar

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/AuthorizationinSAPNWBI
Create BEX variable for authorization
1. Right click on the IO -> choose 'Restrict'
2. Choose 'Selection' = 'Single Value' and 'from Hierarchy' = 'flat list'
If a hierarchy exists, select the hierarchy for the IO
3. Go on the variables tab -> Right click -> 'New variable'
4. For a restriction without hierarchy, the type of variable is 'Characteristic Value' and if you have choose a hierarchy, the type of variable is 'Hierarchy node'
5. Select a variable name & a description
6. Choose 'Processing by': = 'Authorization' then check the characteristic and click 'next'
7. Choose the display area for the variable -> Variable represents: = 'Single Value' or 'Selection Option'
8. Choose if the variable entry is Optional or mandatory,
9. Don't select 'Ready for input' and 'Can be changed in query navigation
10. Next to the end
Hope this would help you ...

Variable hierarchy display not changed (BEx analyzer)

Hi
We have a BEx query, in which a drilldown characteristic is displayed as an hierarchy
Hierarchy display is active
Selected hierarchy:
Name - constant
Version - customer exit variable
Customer exit calculates version from manual input variable.
We need to view the report in BEx Analyzer.
When the query is opened, we select manual input variables and the hierarcy's version is set correctly.
The issue is that when we change manual input variables at runtime, the data is refreshed,
but hierarchy display is not changed. The selected hierarchy's version remains unchanged.
In order to change hierarchy display, we need to open characteristic properties and change the selected hierarchy manually
or we need to reopen the query and provide another manual input variables.
Our system version is 7.01 patch level 9
Is there any way to fix this problem
Or some workaroud?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Michael, thank you for reply.
But I don't see how these notes may help me with my problem.
1753959 - I don't get a short dump
1745472, 1751321 - system displays all queried nodes, the problem is that if I input another variable, hierarchy version variable is calculated via user-exit properly (I see it in ABAP debugger), but displayed hierarchy has version, which was set when I opened query initially.
1717433 - nodes are returned with non-empty result. I can see that data is refreshed, hierarchy version is requested correctly, but is displayed incorrectly. We can see, for example, new hierarchy leaves, but in "n/a" node.
I tried to run the same report on system with version 7.01, patch level 12 and get the same behaviour.
My problem is similar to that described in notes 993151, 957219, but our system patch level is already higher.
