Hierarchy Flat File loadable format

Hi,
We need to load flat file hierarchy into infoobject.
We have the hierarchy in an excel file, in a sequential format.
How to convert this file into BW loadable format ie how to make it as hiearchy format?
Can you please throw some light.
Thanks,
Sri Arun Prian

Hi,
Thanks for your immense responses.
I have a flat file with huge records. To load it, we need the flat file data to be presented in nodes and sub nodes format.
As I have huge data, it will be tedious to do them manually.
So kindly throw some points in acheiving this.
Thanks,
Sri Arun Prian

Hierarchy flat file extraction

Hi experts--
Can anyone could guide me in Flat file Hierchy extraction.Step by step.
if possible with screen shots.
can send it to [email protected]

Rambo.

Hi,
Flat file hierarchy extraction is similar to the normal flat file extraction procedures. But the file structure itself can be complex and is different than normal flat files.
Take a look at the threads below for more details :

Hierarchy flat file maintainence

Hi BW experts,
I am trying to load a material hiearchy from a flat file. The question is I have to maintain a flat file and I understand that if the number of materials are more there is some abap program to maintain the parent child relationships.Could somebody help with the abap program to maintain a flat file and I can upload that to the BW.
My hierarchy looks like
text node
text node
      materials
Textnode
textnode
    materials
Textnode
textnode
    materials
and so until 10 text nodes. I have the relationship between text nodes and materials.Please help me to accomplish that task. I appreciate quick replies.
I understand the maintenace of flat file if the number of entries are limited but if the entries are say 10000 we have to come up with a logic which will take care of this format. I hope I explained the requirement and if you need further details ask me.
Thanks,
Pavan.

If you can use the ABAP program to download the hierarchy, I don't understand your need for accessing the H table. (I'm sure the ABAP program accesses this table.)
I understand your issue with different materials between the other BW environments. You can create multiple hierarchies in BW for a given info object. You can create one hierarchy to be used for reporting in BW DEV, and create/copy another one to be downloaded and uploaded into your QA/PRD environments.
What is your source system? I have presumed it is not R/3, because you could simply use the material hierarchy datasource available with R/3. And when the source system is non-SAP, production master data values are typically loaded into all of the BW environments (because customers do not usually want to create multiple flat files (DEV, QA, PRD) for master data loads.

In LSMW flat file date format to be converted to user profile date setting.

hi all,
i got a flat file in which date is in mm/dd/yyyy format.i converted the data using lsmw but this conversion is valid only if user has set his date profile as mm/dd/yyyy in his user profile setting->own data. now if user has some other setting then it will give error. so how to convert date and how to do mapping with same . please help.

Sunil,
use below fm to get current user date format:
data: idate TYPE sy-datum,
          tdat8 type string.
CALL FUNCTION 'DATUMSAUFBEREITUNG'
     EXPORTING
       IDATE                 = idate
     IMPORTING
        TDAT8                 = tdat8.

RFC - - Flat File (IDOC Format)

Hi,
I need flat file in IDOC(INVOIC02) format from the AR invoice in SAP R/3. We don't want to create IDOC's in SAP R/3. So We need to get the data from R/3 via RFC with EDIDC & EDIDD structures and map it to IDOC in XI. The second mapping would be from IDOC to Flat file.
Did anybody has done the mapping from EDIDD table to IDOC's? If so can you please share some mapping screen shots.
Thanks.
Srini

Hi,
As I have understood your scenario, you plan to send data from R3 in non-IDOC format, probably through RFC. This could be ABAP Proxy as well. And on receiver end, you need a flat structure file accepting this data.
For this case, you dont need two mappings as you mentioned. You could treat this as RFC - File scenario or Proxy - File scenario and perform the mapping accordingly.
Let me know if I have misunderstood your problem or if you need more elaboration on solution.
Thanks,

Short dump while loading Hierarchy flat file

Hi gurus,
i am trying to load data from flat file to hierarchy, when i am trying to schedule the InfoPackage its giving message a dump :-
"ASSIGN_LENGTH_0" C
"SAPLRRSV" or "LRRSVU10"
"RRSV_INT_CHA_VAL_SPLIT"
These are the steps i followed.
1 created a ZINREGION
2. enabled hierarchy of ZINREGION and included ZINCOUNTRY as external characteristics.
3.and then created infosource and assigned DataSource and created hierarchy and created InfoPackage.
4. selected the hierarchy in InfoPackage, which was created by clicking the hierarchy structure in DataSource and transfer structure.
5.when i scheduled the load in InfoPackage i got above short dump message.
I FOLLOWED THIS BLOG

Hi Philippe,
The processing step, as I could see in the status tab of the monitor, is ".Service API" I am not sure if this is what you are asking for. If not, please let me know what you want me to check for. Below is the description I have in the Status Tab.
InfoIdocs missing; file system
Diagnosis
InfoIDocs are missing. With the file system as source system, the IDocs are created in BW. As this did not happen there was probably a short dump in BW.
System response
No end-confirmation arrived in the Warehouse from
Procedure
Check the short dumps in BW.
Check the data in the InfoCube.
Error Correction:
If the data was correctly updated in the InfoCube, then it is possible that no InfoIDocs were generated.
Set the data request status manually to "OK" (green traffic light).
This error has occured in a standard SAP Program.
Hi Ravi,
I am not loading the data to the cube but only to the ODS. I have plans to load the data later from ODS to Cube.
I am not using the process chains to load the data and anyway, as I am not loading to the cube, I auume the index will not come into picture. Please correct me if I am wrong.
And, what do you mean by "Split the file". Can you please elaborate?
Thanks,
RPK.

Timedependent hierarchy flat file upload

Hello All,
I am trying uploading timedependent hierarchy through a flat file.There was no error when i ran infopkg but when i go and check in hierarchy maintanance, i dont find any hierarchy there.I also verified in PSA, wherein i found four segments properly loaded with data.
I am wondering what can be the possible reason, please provide your valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Jay

Actually speaking there was a error which i didn't noticed. I have to go to scheduler monitor --> details tab --> Transfer (IDocs and TRFC): Errors occured --> Data Package 1 : arrived in BW ; Processing : 2nd processing step not yet finished , on the context menu i clicked manual update, hierarchy got loaded.
But still why one has to go for manual update, Can't it be automated ?
Infopkg --> processing tab --> check -- update subsequently in data target will solved the problem.

Link Column in Hierarchy Flat file

Hi Gurus,
Good Evening.
Can anyone please let me know the significance of the Link column (in between Node name and Parent ID) while doing the flat file extraction for Hierarchy.
Warm regards,
Warnie.

Hi
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4dae0795-0501-0010-cc96-fe3a9e8959dc
A customer (a global retailer) wishes to create a master data repository to store information about the locations it is active at. The data includes information about states, regions, counties, and cities (for example, the state capital, county population) and specific outlets. Each outlet is associated with a geographical hierarchy (state, region, etc.) Itu2019s expected that it will be easy to search and maintain information using the MDM Data Manager, and that the repository will be designed in a way that will ensure data integrity.
The information to store includes the following objects and hierarchy:
1. States u2013 each state holds a name, postal, traditional name and capital.
2. Regions u2013 a region is associated to one state. It holds the name of the region.
3. Counties u2013 a county is associated to one region. It holds the county name, population, FIPS code, and the county code.
4. Cities u2013 a city is associated to one county. It holds the city name.
5. Outlet u2013 an outlet is associated to one city. It holds a unique identifier, a name, outlet manager name, and contact information (address and phone number.)
Hope it is clear and helpful

Exporting Hierarchy in Flat File Format

Hi All,
I exporting hierarchy in local file from transaction code OB58 (Balance sheet Hierarchy and Profit & Loss Hiearchy) , KSH3 (Cost Center Hierarchy), KCH3 (Profit Center Hierarchy). But the hierarchy is commming as it is displayed at the R3 screen.
I have to load these hierarchies in BW through flat file. Is there any method other that writing an ABAP program by which we can extract these hierarchies in Flat file loadable format.
Thanks

Perhap's it can help you
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0403a990-0201-0010-38b3-e1fc442848cb?overridelayout=true|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0403a990-0201-0010-38b3-e1fc442848cb?overridelayout=true]
It's an ABAP program but it works well and you can load your flat file easily

Convert flat file to Idoc format

Due to some security reasons , the ALE scenario for material master is not allowed directly between 2 SAP systems
So the SAP system A is sending a flat file (not in Idoc format)
From SAP system B , we need to do an Inbound process to post the Idocs with following rough steps
1) Flat file upload
2) Flat file -> Idoc format conversion (EDI subsystem is not existing in this scenario and so this step has to be done within SAP)
3) Idoc processing
Even though this scenario can be accomplished without using Idocs ,
for better monitoring and reprocessing options it is required that Idocs need to be used.
Please explain the detailed steps for the above scenario

Hi,
This sounds very much lie complicating things unnecessary...Are this 2 SAP systems of the same company ?
Why would using IDOCS be more insecure then using flat files ?
If the purpose is to have a manual check before upload, you can achieve the same with IDOCS.
Please add some background to the process,
regards
Dirk

Hierarchy: Postable node (or not) in Flat file

Hello Experts,
I have read several times, the links you provided on this subject and they were very helpful but I am still stuck here:
If I am loading a hierarchy through a flat file, how do I specify which of these nodes are postable and which are not?
I know the Leave notes are postable, but my issue is with the various interval nodes
For example, in this Customer profit center hierarchy ....
NodeID|InfoObject Name| Node Name----- |--Link-|-ParentID|Child-|----Next ID
0001----|0Hier_Node|--Customer--||---0|2---|--0---
0002----|-0Country--|-China||| -|----
0003----|-???--|50000||| -|----
0004----|-oRegion--|RegB||| -|----
0005----|-???--|60000||| -|----
0005----|-???--|70000||| -|----
What I want to achieve in the flat file, is to place region and the profit center 5000 under country, and make the profit center 5000 postable but Region is not postable.
Also, under Region is RegB which is supposed to be NOT postable, but it has 2 profit centers under it, 6000 and 7000 which should be postable.
Root
Country---5000
Region
RegB---6000 / 7000
Any help on this flat file will be appreciated. Where I have ???, I only meant I have doubts but I think it should be 0ProfitCtr.

Hi,
I don't know if this is what you mean...
NodeID|InfoObject Name| Node Name----- |--Link-|-ParentID|Child-|----Next ID
0001----|0Hier_Node|--Customer--||---0|2---|--0---
0002----|-0Country--|-China||---1| -|----
0003----|-???--|50000||-2| -|----
0004----|-oRegion--|RegB||--2| -|----
0005----|-???--|60000||4--| -|----
0005----|-???--|70000||--4| -|----
(hope it is readable)
In the hierarchy flat file you only need to specify the parent node of a row. That way your hierarchy will get linked. That is how we load our flat file hierarchies and it works perfectly.

David.

Extract work order data from r/3 system in flat file(csv)and export to BI

Hi,
I am new in interface.
I need to extract data regarding actual cost and quantities of work assigned to Service Providers from SAP system and send it to BI for reporting purposes.
This interface will extract Master data as well as transactional data. Extraction of Master data will be a full extract and that of transactional data will be Delta Extraction.
Custom development will extract the data from different fields and will export it to flat files (CSV format). This program will amalgamate all the flat files created into one big file and export it to BI system.
Export of data to BI system will be done by schedule program Control M, which will export the data from SAP system to BI system in batches. Control M is expected to run daily at night.
Please provide the step-by-step proces to do this.
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
you've got to set up the message type MDMRECEIPT for the Idoc distribution from R/3 to XI. Check chapter 5.2 in the IT configuration guide available on <a href="http://service.sap.com/installmdm">MDM Documentation Center</a>. It describes the necessary steps.

Access Flat Files From Oracle Forms Using Simba

Hi,
I need to access Flat Files using Simba and display the data using Oracle Forms on Solaris. The Flat Files, Simba and Oracle Forms is on Solaris.
Thanks.
Sanjay R Naidu.

Hi,
not knowing the flat file's format and why you need SIMBA for it, Forms provides a text_io package that can read from files. You need to parse the file's content and then bring this to a datablock.
