Hierarchy Node Variables in Selection Screen

Hi Experts!
I have a hierarchy Node variables of  InfoObject in BEx. When I execute the report, I choose Hierarchy variables in Selection screen of BEx Web. I see all of attributes of infoObject, I want to reject all of those.
Suppose that:  In infoObject 0COSTCENTER has attributes (Controlling Area, BusinessArea, CompanyCode, ProfitCenter u2026.), I donu2019t need to see those attributes of Costcenter when I choose node in Hierarchy variables. I only want to get the CostCenter. Please some advise to solve that issue or how can I do that?
Thanks in advance,

hii
Try This:
Double click on the info object
then go to the Hierarchy Tab
here u find a button of External Char in hierarchies
Click on this
On right hand side u find some of the attributes of the info object
place them on left hand side
Execute it & activate the Info object.
Thanks

  • 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?

  • Hierarchy node variable: select multiple values at once

    Dear,
    We have a hierarchy node variable (Multiple single values, optional) on profit center. If I launch this query in the BEx, it is possible to enter multiple single values in one go. However, on the web, it is required to insert a new row for each extra value the we want to select. However, when selecting a filter value on the web, it is possible to select several values at once (by checking a checkbox).
    Is it possible to select several values at once in the selection screen on the web for this variable?
    Thank you!

    we recently had the same requirement and posted the question at SAP. their reply was : this is not possible. even through the exit it was not possible, due to the logic of the sql select when executing the query, it seems.
    concerning the fact if this would be possible in a near future, there was no reply

  • Hierarchy Node Variable not working

    Hello,
    I created two variable one being Hierarchy Node variable and other Hierarchy variable.
    I am using this for the Internal order hierarchy.
    I amd also working on 2004s and not 3.5 version.
    I restricted the Internal order and then selected the variable and then selected the nodes and before moving the Nodes variable, I also selected the Variable for the Hierarchy and then moved the Node variable to the right screen.
    When I run the report, the option for the selecting the Hierarchy appears and I selected the correct Hierarchy, but when I go to the Hierarchy Node variable, I do not see the Nodes for that Hierarchy I selected in the first variable and it always like a fixed value Hierarchy defaults to the first Hierarchy.  Hence I am unable to select the node to execute the report.
    I would appreciate any ones feedback.
    Thanks
    Sundar

    I am working in 2004s as well (SP11) and I am trying to do the same type of thing.
    I have multiple cost center hieriarchies that the user can choose from at run-time using the hierachy variable.
    Then once the user chooses to the hierarchy they then should go choose a specific node that they want to run for in that hierarchy using the Cost Center Hierarchy Node variable (using the hierarchy variable, not fixed hierarchy).
    When I run this in the web I am allowed to choose one of the multiple cost center hierarchies... this means that the hierarchy variable is working, however when i go to choose the specific cost center node for that hierarchy it uses the defult cost center hierarchy instead of the one selected in the selection screen.
    If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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

  • Hierarchy node variable - successor node data not displayed

    Hello,
    I have a query with a hierarchy in the ‘rows’ section. This hierarchy is restricted by a hierarchy node variable with the following settings: variable type ‘hierarchy node’; customer exit; single value; mandatory; not ready for input; cannot be changed in query navigation.
    The customer exit correctly supplies the node. However, only data for THIS node is displayed in the query results. And data for successor/underlying nodes is NOT displayed.
    I tried several things, including:
    - rightclick ‘Rows’ > ‘Display as a Hierarchy’
    - customer exit variable: multiple values instead of single value; optional instead of mandatory
    In the ‘Hierarchy Attributes’ for the hierarchy, nothing is checkmarked, except for Root/Totals Item Appears Above’ and ‘Drilldown start level = 00’. The hierarchy and its nodes are valid from 01.07.2005 to 31.12.9999.
    I have a feeling in what area the solution can be found, but I have no clue what to do further on with it. As a test I replaced the customer exit variable with a user entry variable. If I then execute the query, I can select either the ‘node’ or the ‘value’ (both with the same technical value!). If I select the node, I get all data, including data for successor nodes. If I select the value, I only get the data for the node, not the underlying successor nodes. For some reason, the customer exit variable behaves like the latter and not like the first. I do not know how to solve this.
    I would greatly appreciate if you could help me out of this issue here.
    Kind regards,
    Frank

    Hi,
    no, it doesn't. It just returns the data for the node and not for the underlying nodes.

  • PLEASE HELP....Hierarchy Node Variable

    Hi All:
    I have a BPS Hierarchy Node Variable based on the Profit Center Hierarchy that was created in BW.  The problem is when I set this variable to a node...only one profit center in this node gets displayed.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?  I need to show data for all profit centers within this node.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Jane,
    planning is only possible for one single characteristic combination. If you want to plan data for profit centers you need to plan on a single one.
    Using a hierachy in a planning level means: All profit center in the node are selected, filled into the buffer and can be planned in one step BUT every value must be exactly assigned to a single profit center.
    When you open the layout, the first profit center of the hierachy node can be planned. You can switch to other profit centers by icons at the top of the layout. So there is always one "active" profit center in the header of the layout.

  • Authorisation in Hierarchy node variable type

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have a Hierrachy Node variable that is processed by Authorisations ?
    Regards,
    Saurabh Diwakar

    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/AuthorizationinSAPNWBI
    Create BEX variable for authorization 
    1. Right click on the IO -> choose 'Restrict'
    2. Choose 'Selection' = 'Single Value' and 'from Hierarchy' = 'flat list'
    If a hierarchy exists, select the hierarchy for the IO
    3. Go on the variables tab -> Right click -> 'New variable'
    4. For a restriction without hierarchy, the type of variable is 'Characteristic Value' and if you have choose a hierarchy, the type of variable is 'Hierarchy node'
    5. Select a variable name & a description
    6. Choose 'Processing by': = 'Authorization' then check the characteristic and click 'next'
    7. Choose the display area for the variable -> Variable represents: = 'Single Value' or 'Selection Option'
    8. Choose if the variable entry is Optional or mandatory,
    9. Don't select 'Ready for input' and 'Can be changed in query navigation
    10. Next to the end
    Hope this would help you ...

  • Hierarchy Node Variable is not displaying full list of Hierarchy

    Hi,
    I loaded Hierarchy  to an info object using flat file.
    When i created a test reports and settings to display of MAster Data of Char and executed the report
    The output displays full list of Hierarchy
    Now to have a User Entry on Hierarchy ...created a Hierarchy Node variable and executed the value help of Hierarchy Node variable is not displaying fill list of Hierarchy ...its only displaying first 15 entries in Hierarchy.
    I changed the settings of variable...etc but couldn't get the Hierarchy full list in User entry selection
    How can i fix it...
    Thanks in advance

    If anyone has the same problem, I think I found the reason when transported to production.
    BW7.3 (at least) can not show the hierarchy nodes if there is no transactional data loaded.
    So do your hierarchies only after the data has been loaded..

  • Passing hierarchy node variable in a hyperlink

    Hi,
    We are on XI 3.1 SP3.
    We have a BW summary query with hierarchy active, with hierarchy node variable as "optional" selection variable. Created Universe based on the query and built a WebI report. Have activated "Drill". That way we are able to drill down per the levels. This works fine.
    We have another BW detail query with optional hierarchy node selection. Created a universe and a WebI report for the detail report..
    When we try to create a hyperlink from the summary WebI report to the detail WebI report in "display" mode, creation of Hyperlink is very intutive. We are able to pass parameters.and the hyperlink works fine.
    The only problem occurs when we try to pass the hierarchy node variable value. The value of the hierarchy node gets passed, but the report does not bring over any data,
    Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround.
    Kindly advice.

    Hello,
    Ingo, thanks for your comment Sorry for the delayed response.
    Let me explain my scenario. On my report I have the following:
    1. Sales Hierarchy (5 level hierarchy)
    2. Product Group (Hyperlink created - want to pass Sales Hierarchy node value + Product group to detail report)
    3. Key Figure 1
    4. Key Figure 2
    I have activated drill which allows me to drill down the Sales Hierarchy.
    Scenaio A.  Pass just the Product Group Key. Success
    If I just pass the  "Product Group Key", the detail report shows me the data for the specific Product Group as expected. This is a successful test
    Scenario B -  Pass the Sales Hierarchy Node key and the Product Group Key Fails
    In this case, I am passing the "Product Group key" along with the "L00 Sales Hierarchy key". When I click on the hyperlink, it gives me an empty detail report. I know for sure that values exist for all levels. If I run my detail report stand-alone, I am able to get values for all levels.
    However if I drill down to the last level in the Sales Hierarchy, the detail report shows correct value. For last level, the Sales Hierarchy Node value gets passed correctly along with the Product Group key.
    URL generated is as follows:
    http://<bobj server>:<port number>AnalyticalReporting/WebiView.do?bypassLatestInstance=true&cafWebSesInit=true&appKind=InfoView&service=/InfoViewApp/common/appService.do&loc=en&pvl=en&actId=216&objIds=6933&containerId=6923&bypassLatestInstance=true&lsMProductGroup=11101101&lsSGeoSales+Hierarchy=B01&isApplication=false&pref=maxOpageU%3D10%3BmaxOpageUt%3D200%3BmaxOpageC%3D10%3Btz%3DAmerica%2FDenver%3BmUnit%3Dinch%3BshowFilters%3Dtrue%3BsmtpFrom%3Dtrue%3BpromptForUnsavedData%3Dtrue%3B&sRefresh=N
    In the URL you can see that correct values are getting passed
    Product+Group=11101101
    Sales+Hierarchy=B01
    Do I need to append any value to the "B01" value ?
    I did not understand the part about appending [ ] or 0HIER.
    Can you please explain.
    Thnaks for all your help.

  • Hierarchy node variable in workbook

    Hi all,
    I am scheduling a workbook in precal,
    The work has nine queries with same hierarchy node variable in all teh query selection.
    The work book is taking long time in opening even when auto refresh is off.
    the precalculation takes 30000 sec and running...
    any thought on what can be done to reduce the calculation.
    regards,
    Rakesh.

    Hi,
    As precalculation just automates the process of opening, refreshing and applying the variant on a workbook I would suggest trying to find improvements there. Perhaps the notes below can help.
    1289127
    1160093

    also use the latest precalc server support pack "BW 7.x precalculation service SP1200 - GUI 7.10" (note 1387291).

  • How to create a Hierarchy Node Variable to be used in Infopackages ?

    Hello,

    I need to create a hierarchy node variable (filter) to be used further in Infopackages as OLAP Variable.
    How can I do ?
    Please give a step-by-step answer,
    Thank you very much,

    Hi Again,
    You can use ABAP program in the process chain.
    I guess there are some OS level commands in ABAP which will allow you to open, close, read , write and move files.
    Serach in ABAP help or on net.
