Hierarchy Node Filtering Challenge

I'm experiencing a bit of a challenge with creating required report for our business and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this issue.
We have a hierarchy. Within this hierarchy we have nodes A & B. We want to filter out node A. However, nodes A & B have one value underneath them in common. When we apply the filter to exclude node A it is not entirely excluded. We still get the filtered out node name and the one common value appearing in the report.
How do we completely filter out node A? Is it even possible? If not, why not?

When you have inserted for the second time the common value what option did you put :
- copy duplicate node
or
- transfer the duplicate node as Link Node ?
I think that you put the second. Try to put the other one ... I think it will be ok !

Hierarchy node filtering - BEx 3.5 query

Hi
I am having a problem with a BEx 3.5 query with a filter on customer hierarchy. The filter is a variable which allows single value selection.
When I run the query in Analyzer and get prompted for the customer hierarchy I can either type a customer number or press F4 and navigate through the hierarchy structure to find the node I want.
When I press F4 and navigate to the hierarchy nodes I always get data for all nodes I have tried, but when I type in the node number directly in the selection screen I get data for some nodes wheras for others I get "No applicable data found".
When I navigate in the hierarchy I can see that below each node there is a leaf with the same customer number (see example below), and that when I type in a customer hierarchy node number in the selection screen the query chooses the node for some numbers (and data is displayed) and for some numbers chooses the leaf (and no data is displayed).
Example:
0035 (node)
- 0035 (leaf)
- 11003 (leaf)
- 11004 (leaf)
- 11005 (leaf)
It would be preferrable if I could type in the values directly as this would save time. So I would like to know if there is a way to make sure that the node is always selected rather than the leaf, or if it is just random?
All help is much appretiated!

Hi
Thanks for the answer. I tried it but unfortunately it did not solve my problem. The issue is that for some hierarchies the leaf is found instead of the node (see my earlier post).
So if there would be a way to only search for only nodes, that could be a solution.
Kind regards

Use of filters and aggregations based on hierarchy nodes in an update rule

Hello,
I need to calculate some indicators from a ODS (BW 3.5) that contain raw data to another one that will contain indicators. These figures are the results of the use of filters and aggregations based on hierarchy nodes (for example: all sales accounts under a node).
In fact, this is typically a query but I want to store these figures, so I need
I understood I have to use a start routine. I never did that before.
Could you provide me with easy-to-understand-for-newbies examples of:
- filtering data based on the value of an infoobject (value must be empty, for example)
- filtering and aggregation of data based on the appartenance to hierarchy nodes (all sales figures, ....)
- aggregation of the key figures based on different characteristics after filtering of these
Well, I am asking a lot ...
Thank you very much

Create link or dropdown for hierarchy nodes.

Hi friends, I need your expertise in solving my senario. We have a costcenter with about 10+ hierachy levels. The customer wants to bypass the query varible screen (hierarchy node varible, year, month,mandatory) by selecting the node either from dropdown box or radio button or link from the intranet web page. This is little bit challenging for me. How can I create nodes, level by level and pass to the queryString. What is the best way to implement this.
Thanks for your help.
Ram

Moorthy -
A dropdown or radio button will work but you will need to use JavaScript to pass the hierarchy and node values and build the command through URL parameterization. First you will need to set the hierarchy, this can be done by passing a hierarchy value to a hierarchy variable using the "Set Variable Values" command. Then you can filter to a specific node using the "Set Selection State Simple" command. This link is a good place to start and get familiar with the fundamentals.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/ef05462480025ae10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
A bit of advice learned the hard way. When filtering the node, you must use the "Set Selection State Simple" command and include the controlling area as part of the string.

DSO or ODS "Insert New Hierarchy Nodes" under Data Fields

When you insert info objects under the Data Fields in DSO right mouse click on the Data Fields icon and you will find Insert New Hierarchy Nodes . I created a hierarchy node with infoobjects associating with it which will be visible under the Filters Folder in BEx Query designer as a seperate folder. I can add them to the infoobjects from this folder into the query. I did not know how to apply this functionality in Queries and what it really does. My guess was you can create dynamic hierarchy using characteristic infoobjects from transactional data.Any ideas or links to documentation. This option was available from 7.X in DSO's and i think even in 3.x ODS.

May help you:----

You could feel the flexibility of using this hierarchial display in the Query. Try to create any Query on this DSO.

Master Data load does not extract Hierarchy nodes in BPC Dimension ACCOUNT

Hi Experts,
I am performing master data load through standard DM package with Filter selection as:
1. Chart of Accounts
2. Hieararchy selection has 4 hierarchy names
3. Selected Import Text nodes
4. Selected Set Filters by Attribute OR Hierarchies
I have run this DM package for a set of data and selections a week ago and it worked fine.
However when i run it now, it is giving issues,
It extracts any new GL maintained in the BI system however it does not extract any hierarchy nodes at all! (Have tested this by deleting the hierarchy nodes and tried to run the master data load)
I am running the DM package in Update and have selection as External.
Any sugestions for checks / has anyone encountered this issue earlier?
Regards,
Shweta Salpe

Hi Guyz,
Thanks.
I found that the issue was with the transformation file where i was maintaining the RATETYPE.
When i removed the mapping of RATETYPE this works fine. (Pulls the nodes of hierarchies)
however now i do not have Ratetype populated in the system.
my rate type mapping is:
RATETYPE=*IF(ID(1:1)=*STR(C) then *STR(TOSKIP);ID(1:1)=*STR(H) then *STR(TOSKIP);ID)
and in conversion file i have TOSKIP *skip
I have to skip the ratetypes for the hierarchy nodes and my hierarchy nodes start with C and H.
So now that i have removed the mapping for RATETYPE can anyone suggest me a correct way to achieve this? (Note the above mapping formula was skipping all of the hierarchy nodes starting with C and H)

Shweta Salpe

Execution of a planning function for a row selection of a hierarchy node

Hi all!
Has anyone accomplished to make a configuration, where a planning function would have been executed for a hierarchy node selection and this selection would have been made by a row selection in an analysis item? I can filter the characteristic in a lowest level by selecting rows in analysis item, but if I would select a hierarchy node, the value for the characteristic is empty. I have set the selection state by binding the item_characteristic of analysis item to filter of the other characteristics.
I tried first to reach this functionality by filtering the characteristic with variables in planning modeller filter and determining the values of the variables during runtime by the selection of the analysis item row selection. But I can not implement it as the display hierachy and the hierarchy node selection in the analysis item are variables and modeller does not allow selection of a hierarchy node and hierarchy by variables - even thoug it let's you do it (I receive error message saying "field hienmflag with value 5 is not correct").
Greatful for any working solutions tips you have made up!
Sari

Thanks for the explanation. I come from BPS background and there are few changes when it comes to planning functions in IP. In BPS, the planning function is a bit loosely tied to Planning Package in a sense that a planning function can use any planning package under the planning level to which it belongs. Same is the case in IP (technically), but in BPS the planning package contains all the characteristics and key figures of the planning level and hence the function can execute correctly. What I see in IP is that planning function is very loosely tied to Filter. It can use any filter under the aggregation level even though they differ in the characteristics and key figures. I have tried a PF with different filters and it executes with everyone of them! This doesnu2019t sound right! Am I missing something here?
Also, you can only execute a IP planning function if it is included in a planning sequence. An extra step! The modeling is so intuitive in BPS that IP is a bit repulsive.

How to filter hierarchy node in BEX query designer

Dear experts
We are working on FI balance sheet with hierarchy infoobject 0GLACCEXT. Example of our balance sheet is as follow:
Parent Node A = 20
     Sub-parent Node A1 = 10
         Leaf A11 = 5
             Leaf A12 = 5
Parent Node B = 20
     Sub-parent Node B1 = 10
               Leaf B11 = 5
               Leaf B12 = 5
We require only:
    Sub-parent Node A1 = 10
    Leaf B12 = 5
So I filter those out in BEX restriction; however, after we examine the report in tcode RSRT, "Sub-parent Node A1" is not shown in BEX Report, and the result is as follow：
Parent Node B = 5
     Sub-parent Node B1 = 5
             Leaf B12 = 5
Are there solutions for us to show merely A1 and B12 ?

Hi Chu
Try the following steps.
Initial Output
In this example I will restrict the query for only displaying Node 8603 and leaf 9000
Proceed to restrict the Characteristic. Please be aware of the difference between hierarchy nodes and leaf characteristic values. Also set the Hierarchy display properties to expand up to level 1.
Execute the query again:
Please be aware that users will still be able to expand node 8603 and see the lower level nodes/leaf. In order to restrict users from doing this set up users authorizations.

Issue with hierarchy node variable and multiple SAP hierarchies

Hello experts,
We are currently facing an issue when using two SAP hierarchies in Web Intelligence and one of them is restricted with a hierarchy node variable.
The systems we use are a SAP BI 7.01 (SPS 05) and a Business Objects Enterprise XI R3.1 SP2 (fix pack 2.3). I want also to point out that the fix pack 2.3 has been applied to all BOE related components: the SAP integration Kit, client tools, and enterprise (server and client).
The universe used in our scenario is based on a BEX Query with two hierarchies (non-time dependent hierarchies, intervals allowed) loaded on their corresponding characteristics. One of these characteristics is restricted with a hierarchy node variable (manual input, optional, ready for input, multiple single values allowed).
Prerequisites for replicating the problem:
1) When building the web intelligence query select several levels from both hierarchies (they have seven levels each) and the only amount of the InfoCube that the BEX query (that was used to create our universe) relies on.
2) In the hierarchy node variable prompt select a hierarchy node entry (not an actual InfoObject value that exists as transactional data in the InfoCube )
By executing the query built above, all characteristics are returned null (no value) and the key figure with value u201C0u201D. No error messages, no partial results warnings. Now if we go back to u201CEdit queryu201D and select levels of only one of any of the two hierarchies the query runs normally (by selecting the exact same value for the hierarchy node variable prompt).
Any ideas on the matter?

Giorgos

Hierarchy Node Variable search (find) option not working

Hi Experts - I have created a hierarchy node varibale on a fixed hierarchy. When user run the report and click on hierarchy node variable selection option , A new window will pop up which has all the nodes.
As the list is quite big and has many levels , On the same pop up , we have find option , when we enter any node in the find box , its always give a ABAP Dump , It never works for me...
Is node find/search in not working in Bi 7.0 .
Thanks

Hi Rohan,
We can restrict the hierchey level at property of of the hiearchey enabled characteristic.
Hope this hels...let me know if u require any further info on this..

How to pass a hierarchy node variable value over OpenDocument?

Hello,
I have been unable to link to an instance with matching parameters with opendocument with hierarchy node variables.
Has anyone attempted this or been successful?
Please reference this post I had in the Web Intelligence forum. sInstance=Param not working for sap bw query based reports (FWM 02020)
Here's some background information
We've created 2 new crystal reports based of sap queries.
Report 1, single prompt, no hierarchy.
Result : Can link to specific instance with matching parameters. Great!
Report 2, single prompt, hierarchy based.
Result: Cannot link to specific instance with matching parameters
Parameter list for report 2
[!V000001} : Cost Center/Gr{oup (Multiple) = {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
However when I go into the history and look at the successful instance parameters used, it seems to be picking up an extra parameter ( my guess is node)
XXX, XXX & XXX; {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
We have attempted to use the entire string, the first portion, second portion, and just the technical response. No luck.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Nick

Hello Ingo,
I'll explain the situation more clearly,
Report 2, single prompt, hierarchy based.
Result: Cannot link to specific instance with matching parameters with a response from the Bus Objects server
An error has occurred: The object with ID -1 does not exist in the CMS or you don't have the right to access it (FWM 02020)
We have 1 parameter for report 2
{!V000001} : Cost Center/Group (Multiple)
We selected a single value:
{0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
(The XXX, XXX, & XXX is the description)
We ran a successful instance.
However when I go into the history and look at the successful instance parameters used it displays the following:
XXX, XXX & XXX; {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
An extra description seems to appear (The first XXX, XXX & XXX;) Our original selection was only {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
We attempted to build variations of the open document strings
1. We tried the entire parameter response,
XXX, XXX & XXX; {0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
2. The first description that was not part of the original selection,
XXX, XXX & XXX
3. The technical name and description
{0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE} - XXX, XXX & XXX
4. The technical name
{0COSTCENTER XXXXXXXX.BGT3}.{XXXXXXXXX.BGT3 0HIER_NODE}
Please let me know if you need more details.

Create a Navigational Hierarchy for filtering with the Table API

Hello,
I've built a WAD report acourding to the how to document: "Create a Navigational Hierarchy for filtering with the Table API".
It works great but i dont know How to make the hirarchey to show the key and the text.
Please Advice.
David

Hi Kenneth,
please have a look in the source of the executed Web Application. What is inside of the <div> with the id filter?
You should also find a td tag with id hier_xyz with xyz the filter inside of the <div>-Tag with id filter.
Also check whether you have a javascript error.
Have a look on the Javascript function set_style. Perhaps you can paste it here, than I can have a look.

Data slice inconsistency problem with hierarchy nodes

Hi Experts,
We want to lock planning tables from function. We create the appropriate data slices but there are problems with (material group) hierarchy nodes.
If I give the node as input variable to the function it causes inconsistency in the data slice. If I choose and add this node to the lock in modeler, the problem is the same.
We are using the following variables to create a data slice:
0VERSION
0VTYTYPE
0COMP_CODE
ZGRMAT (developed material group)
Z_YEARCR (developed yera created)
The problem also exist if I set an another type of node e.g. destination country (0RECIPCNTRY) instead of material group.
For me, the problem seems to be generic.
Do you have any idea?
Many thanks in advance
Peter

There is a note related to this proble:
Note 1070608 - Lowflag field is not valid
The implementation of this note resolves the problem.

Exclude a hierarchy node by using exit variable (not in query designer)

Hi gurus!!
I have a hierarchy for the infoObject 0COSTELMNT. Depending on the user who executes the report, the node '0599ADJUSTMENTS' must be displayed or not.
I am trying to solve it by using an exit variable:
Varible Type: Hierarchy Node
Processing : Exit
On the exit, I have entered the following code:
      IF ( sy-subrc = 0 ).
          l_s_range-sign = 'E' .
          l_s_range-opt = 'EQ' .
          l_s_range-low = 'AJUSTES'.
          APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
     ENDIF.
But unfortunately does no work!!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Regards.
