Empty hierarchy on R/3

Hi all,
i'm creating a hierarchy on R/3 (transaction bw07), based on table t179, but when i test the extractor (rsa3) the table on field HIENM shows "empty list", even when the table is not empty.
thanks for any help

Hi Kelley,
Have you seen OSS note 400116...though it mentions the error received in the InfoPackage, it seems similar to your situation.
Let us know...

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

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

How to delete a hierarchy in CRM

Hi,
I have created a hierarchy in CRM, and linked 5 customers to this hierarchy.
But now some end users have created a new hierarchy, and moved all the customers from the old hierarchy to this new one.
So the old hierarchy is now empty.
My question is how do I delete the empty hierarchy?
Kind Regards
Michael W. Knudsen

Hi,
Ofcourse you can integrate CRM and BW.
You can upload CRM marketing data to BW and can analyze it per plan basis.
For this you need to activate BW-CRM data sources and need to pul the marketing data to BW.
Secondly to get realtime info, you need to schedule tbe Delta loads to pull the updated data periodically(daily, hourly, weekly etc).

SSRS 2008 Hide (+)/ (-) sign for collapse/ expand

Hi everyone,
I have report based on a cube and I have 5 level hierarchy which is expandable/ collapsable. However in the resultset there is data like:
hier1
hier1 hier2
hier1 hier2 hier3 hier4
etc.
This is causing the report to expand empty hierarchy name line and in this case I would like to hide the expand/ collapse sign. I have played around with toggle before and I can make a certain level expanded or collapsed - I can not hide the sign (+/-).
Any help on this will be very much appreciated
Thank you in advance,
Mari

Hi Maria,
I wrote a solution for hide the (+)/ (-) sign if the group has no children data in Reporting Services 2005, and it also available for 2008. Create an additional column next to the group header, set toggled item to be the cell in new column not the group header. After that, hide the additional column conditional =iif(Fields!details.Value is nothing,true,false)”. In this way, if there is no children data, you cannot see the additional column then you cannot expand the details.
For more information, see:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/563e6d9e-c824-4719-933e-37306a3b652f

Layout - Node will not Expand

Hi All,
I am facing a serious problem in Bex Web Layout. Here few characteristics and keyfigures are in row level and fiscal period char are in column level. Hierarchy is expand to 3 levels and then its collapsed at key figure level.
Now when new record is loaded and all keyfigure values are empty, hierarchy will not expand. I need to manully enter data in atleast one keyfigure for a period and then it will expand.
Has anyone faced the similar problem and was able to solve it ?
Thanks in advance....

Do you have zero suppression turn on for the rows? The problem you are having can be caused by the fact that when you collapse the hierarchy, and the values are all zero, the hierachy node row is all zeros, and thus gets suppressed. Once suppressed, there is not way to re-expand it other than going into the options on the active web template (assuming you are using the SAP default or somehting like it) and re-expanding from there.
Try turning off zero suppression for the rows

Sub Total value is empty in parent child hierarchy pivot table

Hi All,
I am using obiee 11.1.1.6.2 in Test environment. Is it a known issue/bug for 11.1.1.6.2 to show empty/blank values for sub total when using parent child hierarchy pivot table. The sub total for parent value is showing but sub total for child value is coming blank. However, in 11.1.1.5.0, we do not have any issue with this.
Is it a known bug in obiee 11.1.1.6.2?
Thanks,

Yes it is a known bug...
Thanks.

Empty parent-child hierarchy if a date attribute is "1800-01-01 00:00:00.000"!

I have an Employees dimension that contains a parent-child hierarchy as the supervisor->employees (Org. chart. starts from the CEO to the lowest level of employees). The hierarchy is built on a relation between the employee_id (as the primary and
surrogate key) and supervisor_id (as a foreign key). There are many other attributes in this dimension one of them is the Termination_Date. The value for Termination_Date for the current employees in the source
system is "1800-01-01 00:00:00.000" (which is also the default value). The weird thing is that keeping this value in the employee dimension will cause the previously mentioned parent-child hierarchy to show nothing! if I change it to any other
value or NULL, the hierarchy works fine and shows the expected tree of employees!
I can change "1800-01-01 00:00:00.000" to Null in the ETL stage and solve the problem, but I want really to know what causes this ? why ?!

In Adobe Bridge, how can I display keywords in their hierarchy, do an "aka" keyword assignment, and perform multi-value keyword searches?

Hi Bridge Geniuses!
I need your help. I am using Bridge to sort and keyword a pretty big photo archive. I have created a pretty long nested hierarchy (4 layers deep, max) and, for a few reasons, would like the parent tags to be automatically included when I indicate a sub-tag. The problem I have now is that the keyword list is distractingly long and organized alphabetically. My first question is this: is there a preference setting in Bridge that will ask the program to display the keywords in their hierarchy? That is, will Bridge present the list as, for example, cars à hybrids à Toyotas à Prius.
My second question is: if I have two or more names that represent the same keyword, is there an “aka” function in this program that will allow me to direct searches for two or more different words to the same keyword entry? (For example, if I want my searches for “Bruce Wayne” to also show entries marked as “Batman.”)
Finally, I would like to know if Bridge will perform keyword searches for more than one word at a time. So far, I have tried entering two keywords with overlap at a time, separated by a space or a comma or a semicolon, and the search comes up empty.
Thank you very much for your help!

I reset my custom workspace and all seems to be well now. My keywords now show, the number of photos each applies to and I can again search.
Thank you.

Mailboxes STILL empty after importing from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11

Hi... I've been spending the last couple of days trawling the web (incl. this site) for solutions and have found similar postings, but they were either unresolved, or didn't really match my situation. So please excuse me if this is partially repetitive but hopefully someone can point me in a specific direction for resolution.
1) Under Mail 1.3.11 (Panther 10.3.9) I had stored several years of email (8+ GB... unfortunately my work requires me to keep everything) from 3 accounts - 1x IMAP, 2x POP. Most of my mail had been reorganised into various folders and mailboxes that contained a mixture of emails from all 3 source accounts. As far as I know, everything was healthy - no corruptions etc. except for the ubiquitous "not downloaded from server, take account online" problem.
2) When I transitioned to Mail 2.1.3 (Tiger 10.4.11) I used the Migration Assistant and got all my old Mail data over, changed all the file and folder permissions in olduser-Library-Mail to read and write, and used Import within Tiger Mail (and using the Other option as well). Everything seemed to move over into an Imported folder, and my hierarchy of subfolders remained correct, but all of them are empty.
3) Some suggestions I've found online have been to Rebuild the "empty" mailboxes/subfolders but the Rebuild option is grayed out whenever I select any mailbox/folder/subfolder.
4) There were some other suggestions to tinker with the insides of newuser-Library-Mail or olduser-Library-Mail but these were not for situations identical to mine so I'm hesitant to try for fear of making things worse.
5) For the moment, to continue working, I've set up a new account under Mail to fetch and send from my main IMAP account, but I don't have any of my old emails for reference ie. my new Tiger Mail has one mailbox (the Inbox) containing all my incoming mail from AFTER the upgrade... everything prior to that is on an external firewire drive that I can boot into (the old 10.3.9) as a reference backup. Curiously, eventhough I've set the new Tiger Mail to keep copies of outgoing mail, my Sent box remains empty and sometimes when I'm composing outgoing mail, I get a warning pop up about being unable to save into my IMAP outbox.
Do all of the above give any gurus out there a lightbulb moment as to what my problem might be and how I can solve it? Any help will be rewarded with eternal gratitude and my first grandchild. OK, maybe not the latter, but please help anyway!

No, Mail in 10.4 is not crap; it's actually better and more reliable than Mail in 10.5. So here's what I would do, though this will not preserve any folder hierarchy--you'd have to manually do that:
1. In your Panther Mail program, choose an account, a mailbox (Inbox for this example), and Select All messages in that mailbox.
2. Choose Save As… and choose Raw Message Source from the dialog window, then choose a destination (your Desktop) and save the file as Inbox.mbox.
3. After that file is saved, go to your Desktop and create two new folders: one named Inbox and the other named Mailbox.
4. Put the Inbox.mbox file inside the Mailbox folder, and the Mailbox folder inside the Inbox folder. Copy the nested folder/file to the Tiger machine if necessary so you can access it from Tiger Mail.
5. Open Tiger Mail, choose File >Import Mailboxes…, select Other from the list of import options, then navigate to the Inbox folder and select Choose. The file Inbox.mbox should appear in the window; click Continue and wait for the import to finish. You can then move the Inbox messages out of the Import folder to wherever you like in Tiger Mail.
6. Rinse and repeat for your other mailboxes, changing the names of nested folders/files as necessary.

BW Hierarchy in WebI report: strange behaviour

Hi experts,
I faced with an (apparently) strange WebI behaviour.
I'm working with SAP BW 7.0 and BO XI 3.1 SP 2.
I have a universe built on a BEx query and the BEx query is built on a multiprovider (with 2 infoCubes inside).
The universe maps a BW hierarchy (ex. H) along with other object (ex. A and B).
In WebI report all works fine if I got only hierarchy levels (in drill mode) and a measure.
Adding the A characteristic, A values seems to be mapped in the hierarchy characteristic while A values are empty.
Adding the B characteristic, both B and H are empty.
Removing hierarchy objects from the report, A and measure works fine.
B and measure works fine.
BEx query works fine.
Does anyone has ever faced with this kind of problem?
Any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

Hi,
There is a mechanism called "flattening" which transposes OLAP DataSet into an XML stream 'rowset' - this is part of the MDX interface of BW, and is most problematic.
the ultimate proof is to enable the MDA.log , capture the MDX SELECT statement, and Executing it in transaction MDXTEST in BW. There are 3 execution modes: multidim, flattening, xml - there has to be exact parity in the ouput between the 3 modes, otherwise you have a problem
You'll probably find that the query syntax Runs correctly, but perhaps the data problem is also seen in the BW back-end ?
Please check SAP Note 1446246 - MDX: Composite SAP Note for flattening API based on basXML
and ensure that you have the Related Corrections implemented

Hierarchy Analysis Authorization in BW and BOBJ Webi Report

Hello,
We have a scenario wherein we have implemented Analysis Authorizations (Hierarchy) on Organizational Unit info object (0ORGUNIT) and need to report on BOBJ WEBI. Our scenario is as following
ORGUNIT    - L0 (Overall Enterprise Level)
-     L1 (Enterprise - Continent Wise Split)
-     L2 (Enterprise u2013 Country Wise Split)
-     L3(Enterprise u2013 City Wise Split)
E.G-
      LO (Company ABC) MANAGER 0 will have access to the entire organization
           -L1 (ASIA) MANAGER1 will have access to ASIAN Subcontinent
                  -L2 (India) MANAGER 2 will have Access to country India
                            -L3 (New Delhi) MANAGER 2.1 will have access to city Delhi
                            -L3 (Mumbai) MANAGER 2.2 will have access to city Mumbai
                   -L2 (Malaysia) MANAGER 3 will have access to Country Malaysia
                              -L3 (Kuala Lampur)
                              -L3 (pahang)
             - L1 (Europe)
                                        u2026..
The requirement is that the CEO of the company should be able to see the entire set of data ( L0-L4).We have continent managers who can see that data specific to their continent, similarly at L3 Level the city manageru2019s should see the data only for their specific city.
In BI we have used analysis authorization based on hierarchies. We have created an authorization object say ZAUTH1 and have assigned the hierarchy L0 from RSECADMIN. Now, in Webi when we create a report a sample row comes as :
L0 Org Unit     L1 Org Unit     L2 Org Unit     L3 Org Unit     SALES Key Figure
Company ABC     Asia          India          Mumbai          1000
Now, we have MANAGER 2.2 who has only access to the data specific to his city (Mumbai). There is an Analysis Authorization object created for him ZAUTH2, by ONLY assigning the org unit hierarchy L3 (for Mumbai). When we run the bex report with the user MANAGER 2.2 u2013 it correctly displays the result and the user is only able to see the data for L3 Org Unit (Mumbai). However when you bring this data to Webi u2013 the report comes in the below format:
L0 Org Unit     L1 Org Unit     L2 Org Unit     L3 Org Unit     SALES Key Figure
Mumbai                                           1000
The L3 org unit has now got assigned to L0 Org unit , as this is the only org unit assigned to the MANAGER 2.2 user .
In such a case we are not able to write any generic formulae for the report. Is there a way to correct this issue? u2018Mumbaiu2019 should either get assigned to the L3 OrgUnit column is webi report , or is there a workaround that is possible ?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Vj

Hi Vijay,
The problem you speak of is known and comes from the fact that the hierachy is flattened in the process of delivering it to WebI. Therefore there is no real 'solution' to the problem, just some work-arounds you can think of...
1)
Create a report variable that starts looking at the lowest level, if it is empty check one up, and so on until you found what you were looking for (the lowest leaf available), which by definition must be there (even if it is top level).
Using similar logic you can also get a 'number of levels avaible' and so fill in the complete tree (duplicating the highest level).
This is difficult to explain when end users create their own reports, though you could provide a template report with these variables in there already.
2)
Extend the hierarchy with duplicates below the lowest level.
So i.e. L0 Company - L1 Continent - L2 Country - L3 City- L4 City - L5 City- L6 City.
This will give back on the four levels for top authorization
L0 Company - L1 Continent - L2 Country - L3 City
For authorization on Continent:
L0 Continent - L1 Country - L2 City- L3 City
For autorization City
L0 City- L1 City - L2 City- L3 City
So in all situations the fourth level, the L3 Object will hold the City level.
This you can then use in your report.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Empty report returned from WEBI and Crystal report when using external hier

Hi,
WEBI and Crystal report build from BEX query returned empty report when we used external hierarchy 0PROFIT_CTR. In BEX we don't have any problems with it.
No authority check is perfomed on the hierarchy when we start the report in WEBI/Crystal. Only check on the hierarchy is performed when the root authorization is assigned to the user

Hierarchy on HANA Calculation View with Optional Input Parameters Fails

Hi,
Has anyone succeeded in building a hierarchy on top of a calculation view with optional input parameters, where an input parameter is not filled?
The original requirement came from the wish to create a parent child hierarchy on a calculation view that was copied into the customer space from a HANA Live Financial Statement query view, but I have found the following when creating a simple level hierarchy on a calculation view that consumes one table. The Calculation View has one Input Parameter where the 'mandatory' box is unchecked.
Calculation view reads ECC table FAGLFLEXT
Simple level based hierarchy on fields PRCTR, RACCT and SEGMENT
Input parameter is used as a filter for PRCTR with logic ("EMPTY" = '$$P_PROFITCTR$$' or "PRCTR" = '$$P_PROFITCTR$$')
When I run the view I see the following behaviour in HANA Studio and Analysis for Excel
Before building the hierarchy I could run the view with or without the Input Parameter
After building the hierarchy I can run the view with the Input Parameter filled, but it fails when the Input Parameter is not filled.
Error message is "error: search table error: [2426] missing placeholder; missing value for mandatory parameter P_PROFITCTR"
P_PROFITCTR is not a mandatory parameter, but the selection for the hierarchy view thinks it should be. I don't find any notes around this issue, so I don't think it's version related, however the version I have used for this test is 1.00.70.
It's a shame we can't currently build the hierarchy as the parent child relationship is provided in HANA Live view NewGLFinancialStatementQuery.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,
We have been facing similar issue. We have even tried to set default value and as optional parameter. View still fails to create hierarchy (we are not using HANA live). As mentioned on page 97 of HANA modelling guide input parameter is mandatory from engine point of view. Hierarchy is generated as column view during the initial activation of calculation view and therefore expect a value by caller.
This seems to be a product error. Some one from HANA development team should explain this issue in detail. I would expect someone like Thomas Jung reply to us.
At the moment, we cant use input parameter for date prompt which gives us calendar popup feature for date selection. Hierarchies just don't work with input parameter. We are missing something.

Cannot determine a value for an exit variable in the Formula fn w/p empty

Hi All,
We have an exit variable Z_EX_AR_VAR, the would read a hierarchy node input variable (Z_HN_AREA), which is furthur based on a hierarchy input variable (Z_HR_AREA), and wouuld return the first leaf of it.
We have implemented a input ready query based on this exit variable and it is getting the first node and is input ready and saves the data to the database.
It works well in the query when we have filtered the characteristic with the hier and hier node and the exit variables.
We need to use the same value to be used in the Fox function.
As per the requirement, the Fox function has to process the zero (empty) records.
So, we have customized formula function to process emptry records.
And in the function of type formula function that processes empty records, we have used the following statement.
DATA AR type ZAREA.
AR = VARI ( Z_HN_AREA, HIENM=Z_HR_AREA, 1).
We are getting the following error message:
Cannot determine a value for the variable Z_HN_AREA.
Planning function ended with errors.
What is that we are doing wrong here. Is it with the 'Process Empty Records' function that cannot read the variable.
How come this variable is working in the query and it is not working in the FOX.
We have done the variable to variable binding in the WAD also. Still the same problem.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
- Shashi
Thanks in '

Hi All,
Michael Wolf from SAP confirmed that we cannot use VARiable read functions in the customized Formula function that processes the zero (empty records) as he spoke to SAP AG about the issue.
Hence we have made a work around by creating a valid record using a dummy key figure in the Custom Formula function that processes empty records so that in the next step, the regular Formula function would get executed, where we could access the variable values by using VARV, VARI functions.
Thanks,

Hierarchy Node Intial load from R/3 to CRM 5.2

Hi
I have this problem when download form R/3 4.6c to CRM 5.2 hierarchy node.
Can you help me?
It's very important because we are blocked.
Thanks
Best regards.
we downloaded the following customer hierarchy:
0002189004
- 0002199004
- 0002190509
- 0002010050
using the object DNL_BUPA_KNVH.
In this way the table CRM_KNVH_TEMP has been filled correctly with all
the structure.
We executed the BPH_DNL transaction selecting only the hierarchy type
D,
and the sales org D468, distr chann 01 , divsion 99.
After saving the hierarchy we created all the hierarchy structure in
CRM but there are not any customers linked to the related hierachy node.In particular we found the followng situation:
table BUT_HIER_NODE, filled with all the hierarchy node
table BUT_HIER_NODE_D fille with all the descrption of the hiarachy
node in english language
table BUT_HIER_STRUCT filled with the structure and the link between
node
tables BUT_HIER_TREE,. BUT_HIER_TREE_d filled with all our hiearcy type
table BUT_HIER_NODE_BP empty
also:
the method "assign_bp_to_node" is only executed in the the private
method
"change_record" but it is commented in the method "create record" and
also
"build_crm_tree".
In conclusion the method "start_initial_down_load2 (executed int the
function CRM_BUHI_INITIAL_DOWNLOAD) call the method 2build_crm_tree2,
but this method never execute "assign_bp_to_node".

I have found a propoer articulation of my problem in SAP note 429423. It goes as follows:
<i>"No entry exists in one of the queues, but the status in R3AM1 remains 'Running':
In this case, probably no reply is sent to the CRM Server after the data selection in the source system.If this is the case for an adapter object but not for others, contact the respective application component which can analyze why the source system does not send a reply and correct it.
If this system response occurs for all adapter objects, create a message for component CRM-MW-ADP."</i>
However, I am unable to act on the above. Kindly suggest what exactly needs to be done as suggested in the note.
