Extracting Hierarchies

I am new to EBS...
I need to extract hierarchies from EBS to build an Essbase cube and load GL data.
I can see the hierarchies in the ' Application Object Library ', FND.
Is this the best place to go and get the hierarchies? I would have thought they would be in the GL...
Thank you,
Jz

Hi ,
We are using Bo4.1 SP3.
Whether can we extract hierarchies from web intelligence report?
Whether there is any URL to extract hierarchies?

Extract hierarchies in background

I am using Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD to extract hierarchies to use in a third party application. I would like to run this program as part of a process chain (together with running some InfoSpokes), however this program cannot run in the background as it uses the GUI_DOWNLOAD function. Does anyone know of a way to extract a hierarchy in background mode, or a BAPI/RFC that I can use to read a hierarchy? Alternatively, has anyone customized Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD to remove all of the GUI and Dialog dependent code and either write the hierarchy data to a db table or a file on the app server?
Many thanks for any help you can provide.

It looks that you are using a customer FB due to the Z_ at the beginning of the name and there is no SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD in our BW system (3.5). So if you want to use a Hierarchy download in background, you could copy the FB and replace the GUI_Download by a download to unix (e.g.):
DATA: lh_fname TYPE localfile.
CLEAR: lh_fname.
Zusammensetzen von Pfad und Dateiname
CONCATENATE xp_path sy-datum sy-uzeit '.csv' INTO lh_fname.
OPEN DATASET lh_fname FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
LOOP AT xt_data.
    TRANSFER xt_data TO lh_fname.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET lh_fname.
CASE sy-subrc.
    WHEN '0'.
      WRITE: /1 Transfer of data succesful'.
      PERFORM tabellen_update.
    WHEN '8'.
      WRITE: /1 Error ........ '.
ENDCASE.
Hope that helps!

How to Extract Hierarchies from ECC6.00 to BI7.0 ?

Hi,
I am using SAP BI7.00 and SAP ECC 6.00 . How to extract Hierarchies from SAP ECC 6.00 server? .
Regards,
Krishna.

Hi Johnson,
The transfer of P.O from SRM to R/3 happens through function module (RFC) and not IDOC. Only the transfer of GR and invoice happens through IDOC.
The above scenario happens when you are using Extended Classic.
In case of classic scenario, you can only have P.O details in SRM that to in Check status of Shopping cart. You can not display or change a P.O in classic scenario.
IDOCs are not used for the transfer of P.O from R/3 to SRM. And there is no mapping exists for the replication.
Hope this makes you clear. Clarifications are welcome.

How to handle/extract Hierarchies in master data from R3

Hi Experts!!!
Iu2019m currently working on HR Implementation project and this is my first project. Implementation is being done in BI 7.0 and ECC 6.0. I have some queries regarding the extraction of master data from R3 as furnished below.
1. By default all the datasources are in 3.x technology and Iu2019ve migrated all the datasources with export and successfully performed InfoPackages and DTPS into their respective InfoObjects/Data targets. But when it comes to the masterdata datasources with hierarchies, Iu2019m unable to migrate them as there is no MIGRATE option in the context menu. When I tried to create infopackage, it asked me to create Transfer rules first and perform InfoPackage. Is it mandatory to work in 3.x technology (Transfer rules/ Update rules) in case of master data hierarchies? In this case how to handle datasources with hierarchies?
2. Is it required to have any data staging component like DSO while extracting master data datasources from SAP R/3 to their respective InfoObjects (Data targets)?? Or can I directly schedule Infopackage and DTP directly into the InfoObject with out any DSOS in between for HR master data??
Good day!!!

hello,
1)
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.
Also,
RSDS doesnt support hierarchy datasources in BI 7.0. So we cannot use transformations and DTP with hierarchy. So it is very similar to the way we used to load it in 3.x.
Check below link for step by step procedure to load hierarchy using flat file:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/e92637c2cbf357e10000009b38f936/content.htm
2)
i dont think you need a DSO in between for laoding master data from R/3 to BI IO.

Extracting Hierarchies from ECC / R3

Hi all,
We have some custom reports now recreated in BI based on versions initially developed in R3.
The R3 reports made extensive use of 'groups' for Cost Center, Cost Element, and Internal Orders, and few if any hierarchies were maintained in R3.
Fortunately, BI7 has built in functionality to ETL user created 'Groups' on these R3 characteristics into hierarchies in BI. However, there are a couple restrictions that we are wondering if there is a way to work around:
1) only Top level nodes in R3 are available for extraction when configuring the InfoPackage - is there a way to select lower level nodes also?
2) only one hierarchy can be loaded per infopackage - is there a way to select and load multiple (or even all) R3 hierarchies at once?
Many thanks for any help you can offer!
Darryl
Edited by: Darryl Goveas on May 5, 2009 2:54 PM

Darryl,
This is the way BI works. You can only select one hierarchy in infopackage at a time. In selection it will show all the hierarchy available not the node name in source system.

Kams

Extraction hierarchies and fields from the logical layer

Hello all !
I build a repository and I would like to ask if it is possible to take an extraction of the names of the hierarchies and fields of the business layer that are mapped to the tables and fields of the physical layer. Because now my model is quite big and I want to create a file that I can follow my logical layer that is mapped to the physical layer.
Thank you in advance!

How to extract Hierarchical Master data into flatfile

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to extract Master data (Texts, Attr, Hierarchies) of all Info Objects pertaining to a given Infocube ( say BoxA)
I am aware that I can manually dump the data / use infospoke to get data into flatfile without hassle in case of texts/attributes.
(1)But I doubt it for hierchical data. In case of hierarchical data I have to create an ABAP code to extract master data.
Below is the link I got when I am searching SDN.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0403a990-0201-0010-38b3-e1fc442848cb?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
But I didnt understand it the mechanism behind the extraction.
Can anyone please give me a detailed explanation on how to do it or some other reference documents.
Note: I am going to use that master data and import that again into different box ( say BoxB) and there is no connection between two systems (BoxA and BoxB).
Thanks.

Extract Hierarchies compounding   0co_area /0profit_ctr not filled

Hello,
We developed an extractor to extract the hierarchy based on a evaluation path. The problem is that the compounding
object 0co_area is not filled in BI 7.0. My question is does any one know what I am doing wrong?
The info objects which
are used are: 0org_unit and 0profit_ctr. The output is created by transaction rsa6:
00000001 0HIER_NODE      50091926             01   00000000 00000002 00000000 00.00.0000 00.00.0000
00000002 0ORGUNIT        50091927             02   00000001 00000011 00000003 00.00.0000 00.00.0000

At this stage there is no problem
0PROFIT_CTR     5000A00011           the first of 5000A00011 (0co_area/0profitcenter).
The problem:
We have loaded the data in   BI 7.0 the compounding info object 0co_area is not filled.
In tabel roohiecom has the following entries:
OLTPSOURCE                       OBJVERS FIELDNM                        FIELDCMP                       POSIT DTELNM
ZPROFIT_CTR_HIER                 A       0PROFIT_CTR                    0PROFIT_CTR                    0002 PRCTR
ZPROFIT_CTR_HIER                 A       0PROFIT_CTR                    0CO_AREA                        0001 KOKRS
To create the datasource source I used the program of Luc Boodts.
I hope someone has the answer to my problem?

0GL_ACCOUNT. hierarchy extraction from R/3

Dear experts,
I don't know how to extract hierarchies from R/3 into BW.
I need to extract the hierarchy for the characteristic Account Number, which represents the insurance Balancesheet structure (VKIA)
What DataSource may I use? is anything useful within the BC?
Til now, I created 2 datasources (attr and text), which brought the master data from tables SKA1, SKB1, SKAT into BW's infoobject 0GL_ACCOUNT, but the hierarchies issue still remains, and I don't know how to proceed..
Could you tell a bit the steps? (i'm a novice...)
Have a nice day, and thanks in advance.
jordi

To find relevant data source for your master data info object, go to RSA1 -- business content-- select data flow before and drag you info object it will show all relevant data source for that.
Once u know your data sources, go to source system, activate them replicate and so on in BW/BI.
Do not create unnecessary objects in R/3 or BI just check for business content before you create Z objects.
Hope this helps,
Assgn pts if helpful,
Regards

BW Interview Questions 2

Hi,
Here are some BW interview questions. Make sure you have prepared for all the q's before going for an interview.
1) Please describe your experience with BEx (Business Explorer)
A) Rate your level of experience with BEx and the rationale for youre self-rating
B) How many queries have you developed? :
C) How many reports have you written?
D) How many workbooks have you developed?
E) Experience with jump targets (OLTP, use jump target)
F) Describe experience with BW-compatible ETL tools (e.g. Ascential)
2) Describe your experience with 3rd party report tools (Crystal Decisions, Business Objects a plus)
3) Describe your experience with the design and implementation of standard & custom InfoCubes.
1. How many InfoCubes have you implemented from start to end by yourself (not with a team)?
2. Of these Cubes, how many characteristics (including attributes) did the largest one have.
3. How much customization was done on the InfoCubes have you implemented?
4) Describe your experience with requirements definition/gathering.
5) What experience have you had creating Functional and Technical specifications?
6) Describe any testing experience you have:
7) Describe your experience with BW extractors
1. How many standard BW extractors have you implemented?
2. How many custom BW extractors have you implemented?
8) Describe how you have used Excel as a compliment to BEx
A) Describe your level of expertise and the rationale for your self-rating (experience with macros, pivot tables and formatting)
B)
9) Describe experience with ABAP
10) Describe any hands on experience with ASAP Methodology.
11) Identify SAP functional areas (SEM, CRM, etc.) you have experience in. Describe that experience.
12) What is partitioning and what are the benefits of partitioning in an InfoCube?
A) Partitioning is the method of dividing a table (either column wise or row wise) based on the fields available which would enable a quick reference for the intended values of the fields in the table. By partitioning an infocube, the reporting performance is enhanced because it is easier to search in smaller tables. Also table maintenance becomes easier.
13) What does Rollup do?
A) Rollup creates aggregates in an infocube whenever new data is loaded.
14) What are the inputs for an infoset?
A) The inputs for an infoset are ODS objects and InfoObjects (with master data or text).
15) What internally happens when BW objects like Info Object, Info Cube or ODS are created and activated?
A) When an InfoObject, InfoCube or ODS object is created, BW maintains a saved version of that object but does not make it available for use. Once the object is activated, BW creates an active version that is available for use.
16) What is the maximum number of key fields that you can have in an ODS object?
A) 16.
17) What is the specific advantage of LO extraction over LIS extraction?
A) The load performance of LO extraction is better than that of LIS. In LIS two tables are used for delta management that is cumbersome. In LO only one delta queue is used for delta management.
18) What is the importance of 0REQUID?
A) It is the InfoObject for Request id. OREQUID enables BW to distinguish between different data records.
19) Can you add programs in the scheduler?
A) Yes. Through event handling.
20) What is the importance of the table ROIDOCPRMS?
A) It is an IDOC parameter source system. This table contains the details of the data transfer like the source system of the data, data packet size, maximum number of lines in a data packet, etc. The data packet size can be changed through the control parameters option on SBIW i.e., the contents of this table can be changed.
21) What is the importance of 'start routine' in update rules?
A) A Start routine is a user exit that can be executed before the update rule starts to allow more complex computations for a key figure or a characteristic. The start routine has no return value. Its purpose is to execute preliminary calculations and to store them in a global data structure. You can access this structure or table in the other routines.
22) When is IDOC data transfer used?
A) IDOCs are used for communication between logical systems like SAP R/3, R/2 and non-SAP systems using ALE and for communication between an SAP R/3 system and a non-SAP system. In BW, an IDOC is a data container for data exchange between SAP systems or between SAP systems and external systems based on an EDI interface. IDOCs support limited file size of 1000 bytes. So IDOCs are not used when loading data into PSA since data there is more detailed. It is used when the file size is lesser than 1000 bytes.
23) What is partitioning characteristic in CO-PA used for?
A) For easier parallel search and load of data.
24) What is the advantage of BW reporting on CO-PA data compared with directly running the queries on CO-PA?
A) BW has a better performance advantage over reporting in R/3. For a huge amount of data, the R/3 reporting tool is at a serious disadvantage because R/3 is modeled as an OLTP system and is good for transaction processing rather than analytical processing.
25) What is the function of BW statistics cube?
A) BW statistics cube contains the data related to the reporting performance and the data loads of all the InfoCubes in the BW system.
26) When an ODS is in 'overwrite' mode, does uploading the same data again and again create new entries in the change log each time data is uploaded?
A) No.
27) What is the function of 'selective deletion' tab in the manage->contents of an infocube?
A) It allows us to select a particular value of a particular field and delete its contents.
28) When we collapse an infocube, is the consolidated data stored in the same infocubeinfocube? or is it stored in the new
A) Data is stored in the same cube.
29) What is the effect of aggregation on the performance? Are there any negative effects on the performance?
A) Aggregation improves the performance in reporting.
30) What happens when you load transaction data without loading master data?
A) The transaction data gets loaded and the master data fields remain blank.
31) When given a choice between a single infocube and multiple InfoCubes with a multiprovider, what factors does one need to consider before making a decision?
A) One would have to see if the InfoCubes are used individually. If these cubes are often used individually, then it is better to go for a multiprovider with many cubes since the reporting would be faster for an individual cube query rather than for a big cube with lot of data.
32) How many hierarchy levels can be created for a characteristic info object?
A) Maximum of 98 levels.
33) What is open hub service?
A) The open hub service enables you to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, you can ensure controlled distribution using several systems. The central object for the export of data is the Infospoke. Using this, you can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred. Through the open hub service, SAP BW becomes a hub of an enterprise data warehouse. The distribution of data becomes clear through central monitoring from the distribution status in the BW system.
34) What is the function of 'reconstruction' tab in an infocube?
A) It reconstructs the deleted requests from the infocube. If a request has been deleted and later someone wants the data records of that request to be added to the infocube, one can use the reconstruction tab to add those records. It goes to the PSA and brings the data to the infocube.
35) What are secondary indexes with respect to InfoCubes?
A) Index created in addition to the primary index of the infocube. When you activate a table in the ABAP Dictionary, an index is created on the primary key fields of the table. Further indexes created for the table are called secondary indexes.
36) What is DB connect and where is it used?
A) DB connect is database connecting piece of program. It is used in connecting third party tools with BW for reporting purpose.
37) Can we extract hierarchies from R/3 for CO-PA?
A) No We cannot, NO hierarchies in CO/PA�?.
38) Explain field name for partitioning in CO-PA
A) The CO/PA partitioning is used to decrease package size (eg: company code)
39) What is V3 update method ?
A) It is a program in R/3 source system that schedules batch jobs to update extract structure to data source collectively.
40) Differences between serialized and non-serialized V3 updates
41) What is the common method of finding the tables used in any R/3 extraction
A) By using the transaction LISTSCHEMA we can navigate the tables.
42) Differences between table view and infoset query
A) An InfoSet Query is a query using flat tables.
43) How to load data from one InfoCube to another InfoCube ?
A) Thro DataMarts data can be loaded from one InfoCube to another InfoCube.
44) What is the significance of setup tables in LO extractions ?
A) It adds the Selection Criteria to the LO extraction.
45) Difference between extract structure and datasource
A) In Datasource we define the data from diff source sys,where as in extract struct it contains the replicated data of datasource n where in we can define extract rules, n transfer rules
B) Extract Structure is a record layout of InfoObjects.
C) Extract Structure is created on SAP BW system.
46) What happens internally when Delta is Initialized
47) What is referential integrity mechanism ?
A) Referential integrity is the property that guarantees that values from one column depend on values from another column.This property is enforced through integrity constraints.
48) What is activation of extract structure in LO ?
49) What is the difference between Info IDoc and data IDoc ?
50) What is D-Management in LO ?
A) It is a method used in delta update methods, which is based on change log in LO.
Plz experts.. provide the answers for the questions..
Thanx in advance.

How to setup Dimension Attributes in ERPI

Hi All,
I am currently in process of setting metadata rules in ERPI to extract hierarchies from EBS into EPMA Planning and HFM application. Our hierarchies are already setup in these applications but we need to replace this process with ERPI. I know ERPI does give capability of handling some attributes such as Data Storage Parent, Data Storage, Expense Reporting, Account Type, Time Balance for Balance sheet and income statement OR use system defaults.
My question is how do I define these attributes in a way that it keeps the ones that are currently in the system?. How about +,- aggregation operators, Two Pass Calculation, Smartlist, Data Type, etc?. If I use system defaults, will it overwrite the current ones?.
Please suggest. I need to be able to keep currenty attributes as it is and just update the metadata piece.
Thanks Everyone. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Refer to pages 81-82 of the ERPI Administrator Guide (11.1.2.2)

Issue in migrating dimension from EPMA

Hi,
I have been trying to migrate an EPMA shared dimension from UAT to Dev. New members were created in Dev. But the properties, alias names were not updated. I am migrating the Shared Library dimensions using LCM EPM Architect in Foundation.
Is there a step I am missing?
Regards,
Ragav.

First, Please validate that the properties are truly not getting updated (manually extract them via the File Generator).
Then, I would recommend making a copy of the app, toggling one of the dimensions that isn't migrating properly to Local, and then extracting that from the file generator (as a comparison) - and see if those properties are different than what you expect.
Lastly, I would do 2 things:
1. LCM the 'local' copy over to the target environment
2. Extract hierarchies in target using the file generator to confirm the properties truly are not being updated.
The trick with EPMA is that it keeps multiple copies of members in the relational repository, what I am trying to get you to do is see if a single copy is broken. EPMA 11.1.2.0 is overall less stable than 11.1.1.3.xx, 11.1.1.4.xx and 11.1.2.1+
Also, make sure the properties were set for your appropriate product... Essbase BSO, Essbase ASO, Planning, etc. Each set of properties has a different header and cannot be used across products
