hi,
i want the use of time dependent hierarchies.. and what is the difference between TIME DEPENDENT HIERRACHIE STRUCTURE... AND.... ENTIRE HIERARCHIES IS TIME DEPENDENT

Are we able to build hierarchies for time characterstics

Are we able to build hierarchies for time characterstics?If possible in what scenarios?

hi chandra
go to transaction rsd1 and tick the 'with hierarchies' box, then you should be able to create a hierarchy against the characteristic in rsh1.

Determine key date at runtime for time-dependant hierarchies

Hello all,
I have to develop a query based on time-dependant and version-dependant hierarchy.
I have selection variables for -
Fiscal year
posting period
version
and hierarchy .
I want to achieve this -
First I want to enter Fiscal Period and posting period and version as user input.
Once this input is done I want to determine the key date based on fiscal year and posting period.
Once the key date is determined i want the hierarchy variable dropdown to show only correct hierarchy in that time for selection.
Is it possible? Please suggest the ways.
Many thanks and best regards,
Surekha

I have written following code for determining key date based on fisc year and posting period.
It may be useful for someone
WHEN 'key date variable'.
    REFRESH e_t_range.
    CLEAR l_s_range.
    IF i_step = 2.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'fisc year variable'.
      l_date(4) = loc_var_range-low.
      CLEAR loc_var_range.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'posting period variable'.
      IF loc_var_range-low >= 12.
        l_date+4(4) = '1201'.
      ELSE.
        l_date+6(2) ='01'.
        l_date4(2) = loc_var_range-low1(2).
      ENDIF.
*get the last day of the posting period month
     CALL FUNCTION 'SLS_MISC_GET_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH'
        EXPORTING
          day_in            = l_date
        IMPORTING
          last_day_of_month = l_date
        EXCEPTIONS
          day_in_not_valid = 1
          OTHERS            = 2.
      l_s_range-low = l_date.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDIF.

APD query key date with variable for time dependent MD display attributes

Hello,
In a APD I use a query as a source with a query key date that is filled with a customer exit variable.
When I run the query as a user, the time dependent MD display attributes look fine. However, when I use the query in an APD, I get no values for the time dependent display attributes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Try to run query using RSCRM_BAPI Tcode, this you can also schedule in background
Thanks

Bex query-KEY date for time dependent objects

Hi
I have one infoobject called 0customer that has one time dependent attribute .called status. I would know how the system works in the following senario for the a given key date(which in bex properties).
question 1)
customer todate          fromdate    status
1            20071231     20070101     Y
1            20081231     20080101      N
1            20091231     20081101      X
can the data in the infoobject be overlapped? is the 3 rd record is valid in the above example - as months(11&12of2008) overlapping with second record? ? pls advise
question 2)
customer todate          fromdate    status
1            20071231     20070101     Y
1            20081231     20080101      N
1            20091231     20090101      X
If the keydate is 20080201 which record will it return?would it return the record that has status 'N'?
what does the keydate is compared against? is it with from date or todate or between fromdate and todate? does the query return only one customer record for a given customer when it runs in the query?
Please advise.
Thanks
Vennela

1) Normally you cannot activate the data with this constellation. If you have inconsistent master data you can repair with transaction RSRV.
2) The system returns N for key data 20080201.

Combining records for time dependent master data

Good Day,
We have a characteristic with turned on time dependency for master data.
Bringing in data from the source generated a number of entries for the master data.
Here is an example:
Line 1: [Date 1] - [Date 2]
Line 2: [Date 2] - [Date 3]
Line n: [Date x] - [Date y]
Any thoughts on how we can converge/aggregate Line 1 through Line n for the history, so that we have
Line 1: [Date 1] - [Date y]...
and then, going forward we can, use time dependency for any changes to master data that might come up.
Thank You for your input,
Dmitriy

Hi Dmitriy,
As far as I know, it is not possible, unless you delete the master data and reload.
I don't think you will be able to delete the master data at this stage, because it will not possible to delete the master data without deleting the transaction data.
Thanks,
Krishnan

0CALDAY for time dependent master data lookup unknown when migrated to 7.0

I am in the process of migrating a number of InfoProviders from the 3.x Business Content to the new methodology for BI 2004s.
When I try to create a transformation from the Update Rules for 0PA_C01, all of the rules that use a master data lookup into 0EMPLOYEE give me the error such as "Rule 41 (target field: 0PERSON group: Standard Group): Time char. 0CALDAY in rule unknown".
How do I fix the transformation rule that is generated from the update rule for these time-dependent master data attributes?

Hi Mark,
look at http://www.service.sap.com/. I guess you need to implement some corrections or newer supp-packages.
kind regards
Siggi

Validity period merging issue for time dependent master data

Hello All,
I am trying to load the data from DSO ZDSO1 to Master data object ZCASE1. Attribute "ZATR1" of ZCASE1 is the time dependent attribute of ZCASE1.
ZDSO1 contains "Changed On" field which defines the "Valid From" period for attribute "ZATR1" of case ZCASE1.
For eg.
ZDSO1 contains below records for Case 'C1':
Case ID     Changed On ZATR1
C1              01.01.2014     01
C1              02.01.2014     01
C1              02.15.2014     07
C1              02.17.2014     07
My transformation from ZDSO1 to infoobject ZCASE1 contains below mapping:
Case ID - Direct Mapping - ZCASE1 object
Constant value '12/31/'9999' - VALID TO field
Changed on - Direct Mapping - DATE FROM field
ZATR1 - Direct Mappint - ZATR1 object
After loading the data from ZDSO1 to ZCASE1 below results are obtained:
Case ID     VALID FROM VALID TO   ZATR1
C1             01.01.1000    12.31.2013 BLANK
C1             01.01.2014    01.31.2014 01
C1             02.01.2014    02.14.2014 01
C1             02.15.2014    12.31.9999 07
Time-Dependency is define correctly however my concern is why second and third records were not merged together. Instead of having four records, I should have ideally received THREE records. As shown above, third and fourth record (value 07) from ZDSO1 are merged into SINGLE record in infoobject ZCASE1.
For the subsequent data, it again does the same thing.
For eg. If I receive below Delta record from ZDSO1:
C1   03.01.2014 07
I get FIVE records in infoobject ZATR1 as shown below:
Case ID     VALID FROM VALID TO   ZATR1
C1             01.01.1000    12.31.2013 BLANK
C1             01.01.2014    01.31.2014 01
C1             02.01.2014    02.14.2014 01
C1             02.15.2014    02.28.2014 07
C1             03.01.2014    12.31.9999 07
In my understanding, BW system should have merged this Delta record with the last record present in infoobject because both the records have same ZATR1 value.
I would really appreciate your help/suggestions to understand/resolve this issue.
Thank You,
Nilima

Hey Arun,
While there wasn't any other time-dependent attribute apart from ZATR1, there is another time-independent attribute ZATR2 of ZCASE1 whose value was changed and hence somehow system was not able to merge the validity range.
Thank You.

Wrong data in cube for time dependent nav attribute

Hi Experts,
I am facing a strange problem.
One of the navigational attr used in one cube was not time dependent before.
Now we have changed it to time dependent.
But after that the cube is fetching wrong data for the nav attr.
In the Master data table (Q table) data is fine.
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Debjani

Hi Debjani,
As Federico said, when you display the content of the cube (or when you execute a query) you enter the reference date on which the time-dependant attribute will be searched. This unique reference date will be used whatever the cube data is.
Ex :if the reference date is 2010/02/14, you will have the time-dep attribute value for 2010/02/14,for 2011 data, 2010 data or whatever.
If you want to change dynamically the reference date depending on a date on the cube, things become a lot more difficult. The only possibility I can think of is "virtual characteristics" (you will find a lot of litterature on the subject on sdn).
Regards,
Fred

Master data records for time dependant data

Hi
In R/3. say master data has 1500 records. In BW, while loading this, i get the same number of records in monitor.
But when i check the maintain master data for this info object, I find each row being duplicated. The difference being the valid to and valid from date. The info object is time dependant.
So my question is: this adjustment done...is it ok continuing forward or do we change something now so that i dont see duplicate rows?
Thanks in advance
AR

hi,
everything is ok here (I assume you have timeframes for e.g.: 01.01.1000 - 27.12.2005 and 28.12.2005 - 31.12.9999).
If you are working on developement system now - change something time-dependent in your master data tommorow (in your source system) and extract delta. Two new periods will be created and you will have 3 records, e.g.: 01.01.1000 - 27.12.2005 , 28.12.2005 - 28.12.2005 and 29.12.2005 - 31.12.9999.

Is there existing open Java APIs for time dependent ShortestPath function or routing on NDM Model?

According to slides here (Page #44-46), there should be some API for that purpose.
But when I focus on that sample and the open API provided here , I cannot find such function that realize it.
Could someone briefly describe the time dependent SP APIs for that purpose?
Thank you.

User exit for time dependent attribute

Hello,
In My InfoObject some of the attributes are time dependent and some are not.
Im trying to enhance the time dependant attribute and cant find the fields date to and date from in the transfer structure of the start routine. I also couldnt find the time dependent fields only the fields in the /BI0/P table appears.
Where can I find the fields of the /BI0/Q table (=Time-Ind fields) ?
Please help,
David

Hi,
well normally you see the time independant data in the /bix/p- table and the time dependant data in the /bix/q- table. If you want to see both use the /bix/m- view.
kind regards

Bex Report for time dependent master data

Hi Gurus,
I hav created a report based on a mutliprovider having 1 DSO and 2 CUBEs with has a common characteristics 0SALEEMPLY which is timedependent master data

20.10.2007 === 31.12.9999 ==709 ==34
In report wen i fetch the data month wise it shud show the division(time dependent) according to its validity in master data
But in my report it shows division 34 in all the months
what is wrong here and do i need to hav any restriction at query level ?

Hello Experts,

Changing to time-dependent hierarchie of 0CUSTOMER

Dear Experts,
I like to change 0CUSTOMER to "entire hierarchie is time-dependent" <b>without losing any existing hierarchy or data</b>. Is that somehow possible? I tried changing the Radio Button, but could not activate the InfoObject;
<i>"The Hierarchy Table /BI0/HCUSTOMER must be converted incompatibly with an activation of characteristic 0CUSTOMER (changes to the key in the table). Table /BI0/HCUSTOMER contains data. Parts of this data were lost in the conversion."</i>
I already checked the whole forum and the SAP help, but could not find a suitable note.
Can someone plase help?
Thank you very much in advance

Hello Amit,
