Hierarchy interval

Hello,
Since in BPC we can't have interval on dimension members, when we load hierarchy from BI into BPC it is suppose to convert an interval into single values. So if I'm loading account hierarchy with interval 100000 - 110000 then would the system create all single values between account numbers100000 & 110000? e.g. 100000,100001,100002,............110000.
If it is the case then it seems the system would create lot of un-necessary dimension members. Any thoughts?
Thanks, John

In BPC 7.0 NW there is a [How-to Guide |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/00380440-010b-2c10-70a1-e0b431255827]published here on SDN which demonstrates a method for loading master data from BW into BPC. In BPC 7.5 NW this capability is standard in the product. In both instances, the system is able to extract and load master data hierarchies containing intervals by only creating the dimension members which are valid master data. It does not create all single values between the interval levels.
Thanks and best regards,

Hierarchy Interval Transport???

Hi,
I am having InfoObject: 0COMPANY which is having hierarchy : ZTRD_PARTNER. In this hierarchy one of the new interval is added in Development box. My client wants to same set up in production.
I tried to transport 0COMPANY InfoObject to Test box. But couldn't able to see this hierarchy Interval. Can you please let me know, how can i transport this hierarchy Interval available in to production?
Best Regards,
Venkata.

Hi Paolo,
I tried to so the same in production box. But i do not have authorizations to do the same.
Please advice is there any way to add interval in production?
Best Regards,

Question for Hierarchy Interval Creation

Hi,
When I create a hierarchy Interval via RSA1 (in the corresponding characteristic), in the display it's showing that the InfoObject is the characteristic (which I think is normal) but for all the other ones (that have been created by other people before me) it shows the InfoObject is 0HIER_NODE, even though when I check the details, it's the right characteristic and not 0HIER_NODE.
Is that normal ? Is there really a difference between those 2 ???
Thanks in advance

SAP-BW text table,hierarchy

why we need text table in sap bw.Explian about hierarchy table in sap-bw

Hi,
BW text tables help in maintaining separate texts in different languages for the same code.
BIC/T<>
BW can maintain external hierachies for an infoobject which are stored in separate tables.Hierachies are stored separate (out of the basic star schema) by using these tables.
BIC/H<>Hierarchy table
BIC/I<>SID Hierachy structure
BIC/K<>Hierarchy SID table
BIC/J<>Hierarchy interval table

Table where hierarchy lives

Hello,
I would like to know the table where a hierarchy lives.
A

Hi A,
You could look at InfoObject definition in RSD1 > Hierarchy Tab. Like for 0COSTCENTER you can see tables like:
Hierarchy Table: /BI0/HCOSTCENTER
Hierarchy SID Table:/BI0/KCOSTCENTER
SID Hierarchy Structure: /BI0/ICOSTCENTER
Hierarchy Interval Table: /BI0/JCOSTCENTER
Hope this helps...

Hi PP,
Depending upon the definition of an infoobject, the tables are created when the objects are activated.
/BI<C OR DIGIT>/<TABLE CODE><INFOOBJECT>
<C or digit>: C = Customer-defined InfoObjects
digit = SAP-defined InfoObjects
<table code>: S = SID table
T = Text table
P = Time-independent master data attributes
Q = Time-dependent master data attributes
M = Union of time-dependent and time-independent master
data attributes
X = SID table for time-independent navigational attributes
Y = SID table for time-dependent navigational attributes

SID table in the general tab and master data/text tab

Hello Bi Experts,
For example 0material Info-object:
There is a SID table in the general tab i.e /BI0/SCOMP_CODE
There is another SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab i.e /BI0/XCOMP_CODE,here there are Nav attributes with name S__0COMPANY.
When i got 0company info-object it got its own SID table i.e /BI0/SCOMPANY
Can some body explain me what is significance of SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab and what is difference with SID Table of attribute?
Cheers,
Stalin

Hi,
SID is surrogate ID generated by the system. The SID tables are created when we create a master data IO. In SAP BW star schema, the distinction is made between two self contained areas: Infocube & master data tables/SID tables.
The master data doesn't reside in the satr schema but resides in separate tables which are shared across all the star schemas in SAP BW. A numer ID is generated which connects the dimension tables of the infocube to that of the master data tables.
The dimension tables contain the dim ID and SID of a particular IO. Using this SID the attributes and texts of an master data Io is accessed.
The SID table is connected to the associated master data tables via teh char key
Sid Tables are like pointers in C
Tables Starting with Description:
M - View of master data table
Q - Time Dependent master data table
H - Hierarchy table
K - Hierarchy SID table
I - SID Hierarchy structure
J - Hierarchy interval table
S - SID table
Y - Time Dependent SID table
T - Text Table
F - Fact Table - Direct data for cube ( B-Tree Index )
E - Fact Table - Compress cube ( Bitmap Index )

How many master data tables

Hi Friends,
When you activate master data in all kind of perspectives, then how tables we can get and what are those with naming conventions, i was told by somebody that we get 12 tables, is it right?
Regards,
Balaji K. Reddy

Hi Balaji,
It depends upon the settings you make when you create your info-object. If you check all the options then these tables would be created:
1. SID table - /BI0/SXXXX
2. View of master data table - /BI0/MXXX
3. Master data table (time-independent) - /BI0/PXXXX
4. SID table attributes - /BI0/XXXXXX
5. Text table - /BI0/TXXXX
6. Master data table (time-dependent) - /BI0/QXXXX
7. SID table attributes - /BI0/YXXXXX (time dependent attr)
8. Hierarchy table (of a characteristic) - BI0/HXXXX
9. SID table for hierarchies - BI0/KXXXX
10. SID Structure of the hierarchy - BI0/IXXXX
11. Hierarchy interval table (of a characteristic) - /BIC/JXXXX
where "XXXX" is a standard SAP info-object.
All these tables are generated by ths system and the data from these tables would be fetched depending upon the action executed in the query. In short, we need not bother about these tables and the system takes care of it.
Bye

/BIO/JFunds_CTR Missing ERROR

Hi I am loading a hierarchy from flat file & i am getting a Short Dump error & it says that i am missing
"/BI0/JFUNDS_CTR."
I am working with 0Funds_Ctr info Object.
What is that /BIO/J Table ???
How is that generated ???
why is it not getting generated for me ??
Thanks

Hi Shalini,
The J table is the Hierarchy interval table for this char. In RSD1 check to see that the necessary hierarchy settings are made and the tables are generated.
Hope this helps...

No interval is loaded for hierarchy

Hi,
I am trying to upload a hierarchy for ZSNIKOD (basically a copy of 0IND_CODE). Some of the "leaves" are supposed to be single and some are supposed to be interval.
I am loading this data in a csv-file:
NODEID;INFOOBJECT;NODENAME;LINK;PARENTID;LEAFTO;LEAFFRO;LANGU;TXTSH;TXTMD;TXTLG
1;0HIER_NODE;AVD_A;;0;;;V;JORDBRUK;JORDBRUK;JORDBRUK
2;0HIER_NODE;AVD_B;;0;;;V;MINERAL;MINERAL;MINERAL
3;0HIER_NODE;AVD_C;;0;;;V;TILLVERKNING;TILLVERKNING;TILLVERKNING
4;0HIER_NODE;C_10;;3;;;V;LIVSMEDEL;LIVSMEDEL;LIVSMEDEL
5;0HIER_NODE;C_101;;4;;;V;Varor;Varor;Varor
6;ZSNIKOD;;;5;51130;51110;;;;
7;ZSNIKOD;10200;;5;;;;;
The hierarchy result in BI should be:
AVD_A                                    - (0HIER_NODE)
AVD_B                                    - (0HIER_NODE)
AVD_C                                    - (0HIER_NODE)
-- C_10                                 - (0HIER_NODE)
--- C_101                          - (0HIER_NODE)
[] 51110 - 51130      - (ZSNIKOD) 51110 - 51130
* 'infoobject text'      - (ZSNIKOD) 10200
That is NOT the case. The result I get is:
AVD_A                                     - (0HIER_NODE)
AVD_B                                     - (0HIER_NODE)
AVD_C                                     - (0HIER_NODE)
-- C_10                                  - (0HIER_NODE)
--- C_101                           - (0HIER_NODE)
* Not assigned          - (ZSNIKOD) #
* 'infoobject text'       - (ZSNIKOD) 10200
It seems like the interval is not correct assigned when loading. I have marked the infoobject to accept intervals. I have also checked that "interval" is selected in the "Hierarchy selection" tab in the info package.
If anyone is interested in helping me I can send screenshots and further information...
Thanks!

Error in Distribution of Actual cost in Cost Object Hierarchy

Hi,
I am getting an error while doing the Distribution of Actual cost from Cost Object Node to the assigned Order.
Cost element/origin 630000 could not be distributed
Message no. KZ468
Diagnosis
The cost element/ origin 630000 could not be distributed because there are no target costs for this cost element/origin or for cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
Procedure
Check the calculated target costs and cost element group CO-PC-TOT assigned to the target cost version.
Procedure for System Administration
Proceed
Although the Cost element is Present in cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
One more information, the order that is assigned in Cost Object Hierarchy is of CO-Product orders.
I have searched in the forum but I havent got any solution.
Kindly help.
regards
Kami

Hi,
Concerning error message KZ 468, it has the following origin: In the customizing of the cost object category (transaction okz5), check if the 'single object selection' is set to 'Control through variance key'. If you consider the F1-Help for this option you will find the following explanation:
if the indicator Control through variance key is turned on, the production order, process order, or product cost collector can only be assigned to the cost object hierarchy if:
-> The material is assigned to the lowest node of the hierarchy
-> No variance key is specified in the order
The important point is, that orders that have a variance key are excluded from the cost distribution.
In transaction KKF8 you will find that all these orders do indeed have a variance key. Hence, all of these orders are included, there are no target costs from the orders and the costs cannot be distributed. Thus the error message kz 468.
Please consider that and check the customizing again.
Not having target costs in the distribution indicates either a wrong set up of the hierarchy or, more likely, no valid cost estimate for a certain material of a production order or product cost collector could be found.
Did you check whether for this cost element/origin target costs exist, and also for the cost element group? If not the message KZ468 is correct and probably the cost element group has to be maintained properly.
The distribution of actual costs calculates target costs on-the-fly and the variance calculation does not have to be carried out before. Quite the opposite than the variance calculation requires the distribution as a preceding step. Furthermore it is not sufficient that one cost element is in a cost element group but the interval where the cost element has been assigned to has to have some target costs. Otherwise this won't work and message KZ468 is issued.

How to Create and External Hierarchy and group values of IO in node

Good morning
BI 7:
Please give me guidance on the following?
I need to either to restrict a characteristic in a query to more than 800 values OR exclude values where it contains the pattern 'Z7' and 'Z8'. There are thousands of values which contains the pattern and they are not listed in such a way that I can exclude them as a value range, thus I would have to include all the values I want into the restriction, which is more than 800. An error displays when I check the query:
""In the structural component Warranty Damage Code, characteristic ZWR_DMGC is restricted to 838 values. This number is very large and will probably meet with technical limitations""
The proposed solution is:
""Create an external hierarchy for characteristic ZWR_DMGC and group the 838 values in a hierarchy node. You can then work with the node instead of the 838 individual values.
Alternatively, you can define a corresponding navigation attribute for ZWR_DMGC""
I know where to create the hierarchy, but I am confused how to only include the values of the applicable IO where pattern contains 'Z7' and 'Z8'.......??
The following are some of the steps proposed in a related thread, but I am loosing it at step 7.
5. Confirm your entries. The Maintain Hierarchy screen appears. You can define the structure of a hierarchy here. ok
6. To create a hierarchy node, you first need to choose an insertion mode: Insert as First Child or Insert As Next Neighbor (see Hierarchy Editing Functions). I selected first child
7. Choose the type of node you want to create: Text Node, Characteristic Node, <Hierarchy Basic Characteristic Node> or Interval (see Hierarchy Nodes) *this is where I am lost, which should I select to list values with pattern ' *Z7' and ' Z8' in a node or two
8. Repeat this procedure until the hierarchy structure has been set. For more information, see Modeling Nodes and Leaves.
A hierarchy can contain 50,000-100,000 leaves at most. If your hierarchy is larger, you should insert a level that is used as a navigation attribute or preferably as a separate characteristic in the dimension table.
9. You can use Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes to set how the hierarchy is to be displayed and processed in reporting (see Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes).
10. Save the hierarchy.
Your assistance will be appreciated.

Date range for key date in hierarchy

Dear Friends,
Is there a work around for single key date restriction for time dependent hierarchy.Bcos i can only select one key date in teh report for my hierarchy so that it will take that hierarchy which falls in this date and display the result accordingly.
But is there a way to select the date range for key date so that more than one hierarchy can be used to display my report accrding to the time range.
Say,i have 4 hierarchies (time dependent) like v1,v2,v3,v4 and v5 for jan 08,feb 08,mar 08,apr 08 & may 08 respectively.
In my report,i want to display the result for the time interval say mar to May.
So my report should diplay the result according to the 3 different hierarchies for the time period i.e.v3,v4&v5.
How do i acheive this.
Thanks.
ragu

Hi
I think we may do with the Char with text with replecement path.
take time char as Calmonth and set the offet value as -1 and -2 and design the report and use the hierarchies in that query.
Am not surt it willwork but better to try with this.

Document structure & Document Hierarchy

Hi,
Can any one reply me the difference between Document structure & Document Hierarchy with suitable example for more clarification? Write me in your own words dont give me the link from sap help, I know that.
Waiting for your valuable response.
Regards,
Seema Pilankar

Hi,
from my point of view I would recommend you to use the functionality of document structure.
The main difference is that for document structure you can create a header in transaction CV11 and then link as many document info records to it. Further transactions are CV12 (edit) and CV13 (display). So the document structure is easier to handle. Due to the position interval it should be possible to add up to 999 documents here.
The document hierachy is nearly the same but you have to go the transaction CV02N and enter the superior document info record for each sub-document and this needs a lot more time than in CV12 for example. For the document hierarchy there is no limit on the number documents which are linked to a superior document info record.
For more information please see the SAP Online documentation (http://help.sap.com) under:
SAP R/3 Enterprise Application Components
- Cross-Application Components
- Document Management
- Document Structures
I hope this inrformation could be useful for you.
Best regards,
Christoph
P.S.: Please don't forget to reward points for good information.
