Downloading a Hierarchy to a Flat File

Hello BW Gurus, I want to transfer a hierarchy from the BW Dev environment to the the QA environment. I went to SE38 and located the program Z_SAP_Hierarchy_download. I created the file and received a "successful" message. I am able to load the hierarchy via an InfoPackage with no errors. However, when I display the uploaded hierarchy I noticed the Text Nodes are fine for the Profit Centers, but the Text Nodes for the "hierarchy levels" are populated with the "Technical Node Name" rather than the "Descriptive Node Name. I have a file which will define the problem I am encountering. I will forward a copy of this file to you if you would please provide me with an email address. I am missing something but need another pair of eyes since mine are all bloodshot!
Thank you,

Hello William,
I am facing exactly the same problem:
The node texts are not presented.
Could you solve the problem and how, plase ?
many thanks
Paul

How to Download a Hierarchie to a Flat File

Hallo Experts,
sorry i just have a second question. We make the solution
"How to Download a Hierarchy to a flat file"
Program works
transport green
Upload ok,
but the Text Node keys are there, but not the text
e.g.
description text note short: 00000000000000000000
description text note long: empty
The rest is alright ????? Has someone a idea?
Thanks

Numbering nodes when loading hierarchy from a flat file.

Hi All,
I want to load a hierarchy from a flat file. When we number the nodes, do they have to be in a sequence or can I give them any number I want? I want to make the GL account number as the node number since it makes it easy to generate the node number that way. The way I see it, the important thing is the parent node number; so this approach should be fine. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Uday

Hi Uday,
   You need to have a running sequence numbers for Node Id field in the flat file. The file structure is as
NODEID IOBJNM      NODENAME TLEVEL LINK PARENTID
00000001 0GLACC     GL233344             00000001
00000002 0GLACC     GL435556             00000001
00000003 0GLACC     GL545666             00000001
00000004 0costcenter cc433232            00000002
00000005 0costcenter cc433233            00000002
00000006 0costcenter CC555551            00000003
The Parentid will calculated by the system automatically.
when you prepare you file csv please ensure that you have 8 characters for the Node ID " 00000003" other wise you will get error.
And if you want to add GL Account number to your hierarchy then you need to add GL A/c Number as external characteristics in hierarchy and add it to your flat file .
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Balaji

Hierarchy format in Flat file

Hi gurus,
      please tellme the Hierarchy format in Flat file.
           ThanQ.
   Regards,
   Ramesh.

Hi
1.Defining the source system from which you want to load data:
Create For a flat file, choose: File System, Manual Metadata; Data via File Interface.
2.Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data:
Create Application Component.
Create InfoSource , Direct Update
Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
3.Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
Assign Source System. You are taken automatically to the transfer structure maintenance.
The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
Attributes, Texts,Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
4.      Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
Choose the DataSource to be able to upload hierarchies.
Idoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject, for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, during loading, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA, which affects performance.
PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here.
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):
The system transfers the settings for the intervals and for time-dependency from the InfoObject maintenance. Depending on which settings you have defined in the InfoObject maintenance, further table fields can be generated from the system.
The valid from and valid to field is filled if you select Total Hierarchy Time-dependent in the InfoObject maintenance. The time-dependent indicator is activated if you select the Hierarchy Nodes Time-dependent option in the InfoObject maintenance.
6.      Save your entries.
Depending on which settings you defined in the InfoObject maintenance, additional fields can be generated from the system. Also note the detailed description for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via an IDoc and for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via a PSA.
Further Steps:
Maintaining InfoPackages
Result
You have uploaded the hierarchy data for the corresponding characteristic.

You could create a 'Before Header' page process to create this 'flat file'. The code for the page process will be something similar to declare

Extract hierarchy from a flat file

Hello,
Im trying to extract hierarchy from a flat file.
The hierarchy is built from 3 different infoObjects each infoObject represent different level in the hierarchy. I built the hierarchy in the last level of the hierarchy and put all the levels as external chars in the hierarchy.
(I used the blog: Hierarchy Upload from Flat files: /people/prakash.bagali/blog/2006/02/07/hierarchy-upload-from-flat-files )
When I extract the data into the PSA it looks fine but when I choose to update the PSA data into the infoObject the request stays yellow. Three is no dump and I cant find the job in SM50.
Please Advice,
David

Hi David,
Thats the problem with using PSA for flatfile hierarchy loads. If you can change the transfer method to "IDOC" then change and retry the load. The IDoc method gives you an advantrage when dealing with flatfiles as you can debug and notice which record # has errors.

How can I download from R/3 to flat file?

Hi
My requirement is to download Material and Supplier data from R/3 to flat file...
These are the fields I have to bring it from SAP R/3 but I don not want to DOWNLOAD FM. I want to Concatenate from Internal Table and put it on application server.
There are my following fields...
Material and Supplier
   1. Selection criteria
         - Based on plant
         - Hubs and FSL/Hubs
         - Hubs can pull both Repair and NewBuy vendor
         - FSL/Hubs pull only Repair vendor
   2. Material EORD-MATNR
   3. Region Determined by 9* plants
   4. Site
         1. plant-(W) and plant-(C) for FSL/Hubs
         2. plant-(S) for DCs
   5. Supplier
         1. Menlo/Repair for DC
         2. Repair only for hub/fsl
   6. Supplier-type PURCHASE or REPAIR
   7. Leadtime - (The number of days between placing an order and receiving an order)
   8. Order Horizon 2
   9. Minimum OQ 3
10. Order cost 50
11. Supplier part number EORD-MATNR
Waiting for some help and (or) sample code for this...
Thanks in advance.

Here is an example program showing how to write a tab-delimited file to the application server. All you need to do is get all your data into an internal table, then loop at it, concatenate all fields into a string and then transfer that string.
report zrich_0001.
parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Test.txt'.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      field1(20) type c,
      field2(20) type c,
      field3(20) type c,
      end of itab.
data: str type string.
constants: con_tab type x value '09'.
* if you have a newer version, then you can use this instead.
*constants:
*    con_tab type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
start-of-selection.
itab-field1 = 'ABC'.
itab-field2 = 'DEF'.
itab-field3 = 'GHI'.
append itab.
itab-field1 = '123'.
itab-field2 = '456'.
itab-field3 = '789'.
append itab.
open dataset d1 for output in text mode.
loop at itab.
    concatenate itab-field1 itab-field2 itab-field2 into str
                  separated by con_tab.
    transfer str to d1.
endloop.
close dataset d1.

Hierarchy using a flat file for a master data load.

Can anyone please tell me the steps involved in creating a hierarchy in BI 7.0. and loading the data using a flat file into the created hierarchy? I have seen some posts and weblogs but they were not helpful and i have been getting some errors which i dont know how to resolve.
Can someone please give a clear steps and procedure for this?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Naveen

Hi,
The flat file is generated in application server by executing an ABAP program in SE38.
This ABAP program contains the logic to generate hierarchy.
In our case we used a DSO to store employee & supervisors.
This program generated a flat file in tmp folder in application server
In our case, To load this flat file we created an Infosource on our master data using direct update using RSA1old Tcode
after Infosource is created right click on the InfoSource and click on Assign DataSource.
Give the Source System name
When you open this Info source you can select data source as YHIEROBJ_HIER and then activate the InfoSource.
create an Info Package to load the Hierarchy. Right click on the PC Files (Source System) and click on u201CCreate InfoPackage".
Under Extraction tab give the flat file name which is generated by the ABAP program in AL11.
Select the hierarchy which you want to load. Also, you can rename the Hierarchy after loading it. The update method is selected as u201CFull Updateu201D.
Logic for Generation of flat file & ABAP Program:
Flat file structure:
Node ID     InfoObject     NodeName     Parent ID     Date To      Date From     Language
u2022     u201CNode IDu201D indicates the unique number which defines the Node.
u2022     u201CInfoObject u201Cgives the name of the InfoObject which is assigned to this Node ID.
u2022     u201CNodeNameu201D is the name you specify to that Node.
u2022     u201CParent IDu201D is the Node ID to which the Current Node ID reports to.
u2022     u201CDate Tou201D and u201CDate Fromu201D are taken for time references (You can set them constant).
u2022      u201CLanguageu201C is set to English (E).
The program Logic can be :
Declare the hierarchy structure
Get the data from DSO into internal table
Read all the EMP values into NodeName Field of the table
Build lookup table for Parent Node ID
Fill Parent Node ID field
Append this data to work area & then to another internal table
You need to declare the selection parameter as SSFILE1
& use following code to write back the file
OPEN DATASET SSFILE1 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT
     MESSAGE MSG.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    MESSAGE E008(ZBW1) WITH MSG.
ENDIF
Populate the output from that internal table into final work area.
Transfer this final work area to the ssfile1 which is the desired output file.
and   CLOSE DATASET SSFILE1.
When this program is executed, selection screen asks for the name of file
Enter the desired file name & execute
flat file would be generated in the Application server now.
To view the File, Go to Transaction AL11. Search the directory /tmp. Double click on this directory.
This opens the list of flat files under this directory. Double click on the file name.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rashmi.
