Hierarchy creation and loading

Hi all,
I am new to BW and trying to learn Hierarchies.
for example i have created
ZREGION
ZZONE1,ZZONE2,ZZONE3
ZAREA1
So i want all these infoobjects to be under an order like zregion will be having zzone1, zzone2, zzone3 and again these will have zzarea1 under zzone1
so i have created all these infoobjects in BW then how to get them in the order i have mentioned above.
and also when doing reporting can i just drag characterstic ZRegion into the rows and all the structure should be displayed.
plz letme know how to create the heirarchy.
and also i have a doubt of loading them.
thanks
Prasad

Hi Aby,
i have went into change mode of my infoobject zregions
and in that i have selected with hierarchies
so do i first need to add my other infoobjects in the external heirarchies and then go to the maintain heirarchies tab and make changes...like when i get into the maintain hierarchies tab without adding the external hierarchies i am not able to insert any characterstics, after inserting the infoobjects in the external hierarchies then only i could use the push button insert characterstic as a node....
what is the difference of external hierarchies and this maintain heirarchies.
thanks
Prasad

Lead Time - Customizatiou0131n steps: Shipping point, route, and loading group

It says about delivery scheduling that "The lead time considers the shipping point, route, and loading group". Can anybody explain me briefly the customization menu steps about this sentence?
Thanks in advance.

Please go through this document it will help you
1) Maintain transportation planning point through Menu as follows:
IMG Maintain Logistic Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure  transportation planning point.
Create your own like BP01 enter the general data¡¯s required
2) Defining modes of transport:
IMG RoutesBasic Transportation Functions  Transportation Logistic Execution Define modes of transportDefine routes
Use the standard like:
Shipping type: 01
Description: Road
3) Define shipping types :
Basic Transportation Transportation Logistic ExecutionIMG Define shipping types Route Functions
Or through T-code: SM30
PT: 01
Description: Truck
Mdtr: 01
STPG: 0001
4) Define transportation connecting point :
LogisticIMG DefineRoutes  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation Execution Define transportation connection pointsroutes
Copy the std point and make it FB01 as departure zone and FB02 as destination zone
5) Define routes and stages.
 Logistic Execution IMG Define Define routes Routes  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation routes and stages
Use the standard route and copy it as FB0001 and enter the departure zone and destination as what we created.
6) Defining Transportation Zone:
Basic Transportation Logistic Execution IMG Define transportation Router determination  Route Transportation Functions zones
Use the standard transportation zone depending on the route so as for the example use 0000000003 - Southern Region
7) Maintain country or transportation zone for shipping points
 Logistic Execution IMG  Route determination  Route  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation Maintain country and transportation zone for shipping point
Shipping point be ASH1 and route as 0000000003 which is assigned to country India
8) Maintain route determination:
Logistic ExecutionIMG Route determination Route  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation  Maintain route determination
Country of departure: India
Departure Zone: 0000000003
Country of destination: India
Destination Zone: 0000000003
And enter the datas needed like shipping condition 01, etc.
Maintain Transportation relevance for shipping point, sales document type and delivery types.
9) Now create shipping types
IMG Define shipment Shipments  Transportation Logistic Execution types
Copy the standard 0001 and make it to AFIL
10) Define and assign traffic zones through T-Code: T_76 (or) thru menu as follows
IMG Define Basic functions  Shipments cost  Transportation Logistic Execution and assign tariff zones
Copy the standard and make it to FABTARIFF and assign our transportation planning point as ATP1, ATP2 assign tariff zone to every particular transportation planning point
11) Define and assign pricing procedures
Shipments Transportation  Logistic Execution IMG define and assign pricing Price control  Pricing cost procedures
Copy the standard shipping cost pricing procedure SDFC00 to FBSC01
12) Assign purchasing data:
 Logistic Execution IMG Assign purchasing data Settlement  Shipments cost Transportation
13) Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.
14) Define Automatic G/L account determination:
 Transportation  Logistics Execution IMG Automatic G/L Account Determination Settlement Shipment Costs
Or through T-code: OMWB
Use G/L account 614000 as used in standard
15) Automatic determination of CO assignments:
IMG Automatic Settlement  Shipment Costs  Transportation Logistics Execution Determination of CO Assignments
Or T-code: OKB9
16) Maintain shipping point address.
 Logistics Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure Define, copy, delete, check shipping point
17) Creating G/L account centrally.
Financial AccountingAccounting  Master Records  General Ledger 
Individual Processing Centrally
Or through T-Code: FS00
18) Enter the G/L account 614000 to the company code AFIL
19) Create transportation condition records:
 Shipment cost  Transportation  Master data Logistic Execution createPrices
Or thru T-code: TK11
Enter condition type FB00 that is freight condition type, which is used as standard in the shipping cost pricing procedure.
Enter the price and save it
Process:
1. The system determines the pricing procedure for the shipment cost item-using transportation planning point, service agent and shipment cost item category
2. Calculation Basis
3. Condition Record
4. Access sequence.
For the sales order, create a delivery using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.
A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.
For the system to create a shipment, shipping-relevant deliveries must exist.
You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.
The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a transportation planning date for the delivery.
Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.
The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:
Weight
Volume
Variable capacity
Number of stops
Maximum duration
Loading units
Create Shipment Document
Use
After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to schedule the transportation.
Transportation Create Single document Logistics Logistic Execution  TransportationPlanning

After creation of shipment cost doc. You settle the Shipment cost.
Go to VI02, enter shipment cost no.and press enter.
Then go to Overview -- Fright cost items, Select the line item and double click it.
Go as main menu: Item --> Acc. assignment, you enter G/L acc. and cost center to which the transportation cost will be posted.
On the Standard change, details Freight cost items screen, then check the check box Transfer, which means you will transfer the relative transportation cost to FI/CO, in this case, the system should determined which Purchase Order will used to settle the cost, so after you check the Transfer check box.

6) MIRO Invoice Verification
Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...
You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.
In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue

Error In Cost Center Hierarchy Creation

Hi Guru's
Error In Cost Center Hierarchy Creation
Our Business scenario is we have controlling area 1000, under that we have cost center Group as ABC lower level to that we create each business wise in lower level like 1100, 1200, 1300 under this we create 110010 for production 110020 employee 110030 dummy so on, by mistake the client has created 1400 below level to 1000 now all cost center amount is booked in this is reflecting in 1400 and as well in ABC now I need to move all 1400 cost centers below ABC please let me know how to go about this.
Regards,
Bhaskar

Hi,
So, if it's standard hierarchy go to OKEON and just drag-and-drop this group under ABC; simple as that. In KSH2 (if it's 'alternative' group) the technology of moving is different, but still quite obvious: select the group you want to move and select the new placement.

7.5 Hierarchy Master Data Load

Hi experts,
I am trying to load material masterdata with a hierarchy.
When I was loading my members I applied an attribute filter.
It loaded OK and loaded the hierarchy nodes ok.
Then as I went to load the hierarchy it gave me an error saying that "Hierarchy nodes include dimension members that do not exist"
When I checked through the log I could see that the "missing" members where all the ones that I had filtered out with the attribute filter.
But it seems the hierarchy load needs them?
Is there a way to apply the same filter in the hierarchy load? Or any other way around this?
Or can an attribute filter only be used if you are not loading hierarchies?
Thanks

Hi Joergen,
Thanks so much for your quick reply.
My problem is not that my nodes don't load. They do actually come through fine in my first master data load.
But then when I load the hierarchy BPC complains that the node I want to now create as parents has members that don't exist in BPC. These are basemembers, not nodes.
For example:
BW:
Parent A:
   Child A
   Child B
   Child C
BPC
I only load Child A and Child B because Child C does not meet the attribute filter
When I then load Parent A I get an error that Child C is missing?
Regardless I tried your method and it didn't work for me?
-First I loaded my members only with the attribute filter - no problem
-but then I put in a rubbish filter like you said and ticked to load the hierarchy nodes. When I choose the AND filter nothing is being loaded at all. when I choose the OR filter it loads everything (incl the members that I excluded in the first load)?
Did I understand that wrong?
Thanks
Sabine

Callbacks without excessive thread creation and memory leaks?

Hi JNI experts,
I haven't done any serious JNI programming in a couple years and I'm currently stuck with a tricky JNI problem:
My JNI code is connected to a system driver and needs to do frequent callbacks into Java code. The standard way of doing this involves calling AttachCurrentThread and DetachCurrentThread before/after the callback to Java code. However, I noticed that AttachCurrentThread creates a new java.lang.Thread each time it is invoked. Let's just say that the callback is invoked from JNI very freqently, and creating a new Thread each time that happens is not acceptable behavior for my application. Among other things, it prevents me from using the Eclipse debugger because the large number of threads being created and destroyed effectively locks up Eclipse's debugger UI. Also, it creates a CPU load that is way higher than it should be for a light-weight operation.
So, I deviated from the standard Attach/DetachCurrentThread pattern and moved the DetachCurrentThread to code that is only called when the native JNI service is terminated. As that effectively renders repeated AttachCurrentThread calls a no-op, the problem of excessive creation and destruction of threads went away, but instead I had a memory leak on my hands now. The JNI code needs to create some Java objects because it's easier to create those objects right away rather than passing a bunch of primitives to Java and assembling them into objects there. When I moved the DetachCurrentThread, those newly created objects were no longer garbage-collected even after the Java code had released all references.
When you print the stack trace of the Java callback method there is always only one frame on the stack (since it is being invoked directly from JNI). However, I suspect that older stack frames from previous invocations keep hanging around somewhere else in memory if DetachCurrentThread is not called. In other words, moving DetachCurrentThread out of the callback is an even worse option. I tried using PopLocalFrame to get rid of left over stack frames, but that didn't seem to work.
So, my question is: is there a way to make (natively initiated) callbacks from JNI to Java without memory leaks and without creating a new thread each time? Would it work if I created my own native thread that runs some sort of dispatch loop? What other options are there?
Thanks for any ideas!

Thanks for the quick reply, ejp! :-)
Your comments were very helpful; let me clarify a few things:
I don't know where you get this 'standard Attach/DetachCurrentThread pattern', but if the native callbacks always happen on the same native thread, you only need to attach it once when you get the first callback, and detach it when you get the last, if you can tell. ;-)Yes, the callback is always coming from the same native thread, but, unfortunately, I cannot tell when I get the last callback, and essentially the native service keeps running as long as the VM is running. When I say "standard pattern" I'm referring to the fact that pretty much every book, tutorial, or web site that talks about JNI callbacks shows code snippets where AttachCurrentThread is called, then the callback, and then DetachCurrentThread.
The JNI code needs to create some Java objects because it's easier to create those objects right away rather than passing a bunch of primitives to Java and assembling them into objects there.Is it really? Are you sure?I'm pretty sure in this case, though your point is well taken. The native API that calls my JNI code produces packets of that contain about 15 pieces of information of different types (ints, longs, doubles). Several packets may arrive together in a single group. Handling the data on the Java side requires a Java callback method with 15 parameters for a single packet, and it's hard to reconstruct which packets belong to one group at that point. Creating corresponding Java objects in JNI and passing them inside an array to the callback function indeed turned out to be easier.
I don't think just 'moving' the DetachCurrentThread is correct. You need to attach the thread that is doing the callbacks, as often as necessary but no oftener, and detach it when you can.I think I found the solution: my native code is starting a separate dispatcher thread that, as you suggested, attaches itself only once and then enters a dispatcher loop. The low-level call back function notifies that thread of new data via the standard Pthread API. The detach happens in JNI_OnUnload. This works without creating a new thread each time and garbage-collects the created objects properly. As the dispatcher method essentially never returns I also had to insert some DeleteLocalRef calls, because otherwise the local references prevented garbage collection.
So, for now, it looks like I'm good to go. Thanks again for the reply!

File-to-file or File-to-RFC for Automatic PO creation and GR creation

Hi,
We are on XI 3.0 and the following has been put to me:
We will receive a .CSV file from FTP server, into XI and then need to create Purchase Orders followed by the Goods Receipt documents in R/3 based on the incoming data.
Further to this, the requirement is to give a log of the successfule and failed PO + GR document summary to the business.
The programme in R/3 will compare the incoming file nmame with archived files already processed and will reject any files with duplicate names.
I was suggesting to go with the file to RFC in R/3 whereby we can have a Z shell BAPI to include the standard BAPI for PO creation and GR creation. This Z code can then be extended to email the log to the business of which records were successfully created and which failed.
However, I am stumped as to how can I make the file duplication comparison on R/3 as the incoming file will also be stored on R/3 archive somewhere.
Can this be made when the BAPI is called in XI?
I can configure alerts when the BAPI is mapped from incoming file for that interface.
What was suggested also was to pick up the CSV file and thow it as it is in R/3 and then the Z code can go through it and create the PO and GR objects. However, then it does not make much sense to use XI as the middleware platform.
Please advice.
Regards,
Arcahna

Hi Archana,

Hi,
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.

Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
Best of luck.

Windows 8 Sysprep - Can't skip local account creation and autologon fails, wrong admin password.

Using Windows 8 x64 Enterprise, Sysprep pauses to ask me to create a local user, which I don't want.
If I enable SkipSystemOOBE and SkipUserOOBE in OOBE under Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup sysprep (in oobe mode) will skip user creation and autologon works. But it only works correctly once. If I run sysprep again, when it tries to autologon
it will say that I have the wrong password for the local account. After I type in the password manually it works. If I use the same password for the local administrator account as for the autologon account, it looks to have the encrypted password
twice with an equal sign after it.
What I need to know:
How to skip local user account creation (we run on a domain but I have it connect through scripts later)
How to fix the autologon issue
Do I need the local administrator account enabled for this to work?

The user accounts-creation page in Windows Welcome is suppressed if a user or a group is added to a local security group. Add a user or a group to a local security group by doing one of the following:
Create a local user.
Add a domain user to a local security group with the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup | UserAccounts unattended installation setting.
To suppress the user accounts-creation page in Windows Welcome, without creating a local user, use one of the following workarounds:
Workaround 1
If the computer is already joined to a domain, use the following XML example to add the Domain Users security group to the Local Users security group.
<DomainAccounts>
<DomainAccountList wcm:action="add">
<DomainAccount wcm:action="add">
<Group>Users</Group>
<Name>Domain Users</Name>
</DomainAccount>
<Domain>FabrikamDomain</Domain>
</DomainAccountList>
</DomainAccounts>
Because joining a domain automatically adds the Domain Users security group to the Local Users security group, the DomainAccounts command does not affect the membership of the Local Users group. However, using this XML example to join a domain will also suppress
the user accounts-creation page in Windows Welcome.
Workaround 2
Use the Sysprep/Quit command to set the following registry value to 1:

Firefox is taking a long time to open and load my home page, didn't happen while the old version. Also stops responding frequently.

Hello there,
I have been a loyal user of Firefox since 2005 and have never had and issue with this browser. It has been my top choice when it comes to using it in my devices along with suggesting to other people. The problem I have recently began to experience happened after updating to the newer version...4 or 5, not sure which. My Adobe Flash player is up to date and have no add-ons running that are not part of the default browser.
When I click the icon it takes a long time for the window to show up and a good minute before the homepage shows up and is functional to use. I never had this issues with previous versions so I am assuming there might be some bug causing this particular problem. Also, when I am playing games Firefox decided to stop responding and I have to force quit so my games don't suddenly slow down. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.7; I also tested opening Safari and it opened and loaded the homepage is about 3 seconds, I don't wanna have to switch unless I have to. Any help is appreciated, thanks. :)

Hi Donekes,
First off I need a little more information to help with troubleshooting. You say that an error occurs when you "try to re-open the same problem app before the old session completely exits". Does the error have an error code or dialog display? It may also be possible to receive an error log. Here is a knowledge base that explains how to retrieve error logs.

WebI issue with hierarchy display and aggregation

Trying to wrangle what looks like a defect in WebI's handling of hierarchy display and aggregation. We just completed an update cycle and are running BOBJ 4.1 SP4.
The hierarchy is a standard FM Commitment Item hierarchy in which both the nodes and leaves are Commitment Items (i.e. it uses InfoObject nodes, not text nodes). An example of one of these nodes looks like this in BW:
Cmmt_Item A - Node
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf
Let's pretend Commitment Item A has $50 posted to it, B has $20 and C has $30. Analysis for OLAP handles this by adding a virtual leaf line to distinguish postings that are on the parent node like so:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Leaf    $50
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
So you see both the total for the node ($100) and a line for each Commitment Items with KFs posted to them. Our users like this. They can easily see the aggregation and the breakdown.
WebI, on the other hand, will display it like this:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
It doesn't create a separate line for the value of the parent node, but it does add it's value into the aggregate. Twice. Modifying the table with the 'avoid duplicate row aggregation' checkbox yields output like this:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
Cmmt_Item A - Node        $50
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
We're about halfway there. While the top row now shows the correct aggregation and it creates a new line to show the distinct amount on the parent node, that new line appears on the same level as the parent. It's no longer clear that there's an aggregate and a breakdown. And attempting to expand or contract a node will now crash the report with one of those 'Error 16' messages.
Has anyone encountered this issue with hierarchies in WebI? This report was built from scratch in 4.1, so I'm not sure if this affects older versions or not. Or if it would affect any hierarchy that uses InfoObject nodes instead of text nodes.

Without a fix, the simplest workaround I can think of would be to restructure the hierarchy. It can't use postable nodes, so Cmmt_Item A - Node from my example would need to be converted into a text node and the postable characteristic added as a child on the same level as the B and C leaves.
This looks like it would affect anyone using hierarchies with postable nodes in a WebI report.
Another oddity in WebI's behavior here - even though the postable nodes show incorrect sums the sum at the root node is correct. So extending my examples from the original post:
Root Node                    $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
        Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
        Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
