Hierarchy restriction

Dear All,
I am syncing the query between two system.
In the query there is a restriction on hierarchy on particular node,so
I am finding very difficulty to find the ame node in the other system,
Is there any easy way to do it.
Please help.
Thanks,
Saveen Kumar

if you know node description then you can find tech name of node from amster data table and then use same in H table of master data to find your node. level there will give you level id i.e. hierarchy level id for your node.
Hope this helps.

Hierarchy Restrictions as Per Query

Hi ,
We have one query that is using GL Account InfoObject. We are displaying GL account as Hierarchy in Bex Output. There are 5 hierarchies in BW for GL Account Info Object.
I created one Variable to select hierarchy while running the query. When users select this variable it displays all 5 hierarchies available for GL Account InfoObject. But, for Balance sheet query, only 3 hierarchies are relevant and users only want to see those 3 hierarchies. Rest 2 hierarchies are relevant for Profit and loss queries. Same user when run P/L query he should only see those 2 hierarchies.
So in nutshell, users only want to see relevant hierarchies as per queries. Same user will run these reports, so we cannot restrict hierarchies for users by authorizations.
Is there any way to do this?
Please help me.

Hi Amandeep,
Please check the following option.
I am looking this option in 7.3 and not sure whether this is available in lower options.
SPRO -> SAP Netweaver -> Business Warehouse -> Enhancements -> Restricting the value help in the variables screen.
Once you implement this BADI,
To restrict input help for flat object lists using hierarchies, use method Get_Restriction_Node.
Method GET_RESTRICTION_NODE
I_VNAM Variable
I_IOBJNM InfoObject
I_T_VAR_RANGAE Table of entries on the variable screen
I_T_COMPID Table of participating queries
C_T_HIERARCHY Table of possible hierarchies
C_T_NODE Table with node restrictions
C_INFOPROV InfoProvider
C_F4_Mode F4 mode

Hierarchy restriction in a query

Hi,
I have some hierarchies defined on an object.
Lets say i have two hierarchies on an object day
first_Hier : day->week
Second_hier : day->month->quarter->year.
Now in the query i have selected first_hier for the object day.
Now the problem is when the user executes the query in Bex analyzer.
The user can right click on the characteristic, here in our case say day, go to properties, goto hierarchies tab.
Can choose the object day and now he can see and select any hierarchy that is defined on the object.
But that should not happen.He should be able to select first_hier.
Is there any way by which we can restrict the user from seeing and selecting all hierarchies defined on the object?
Because if there are any keyfigure say for forecast
and we want the users to see the forcast Keyfigures only for the next week but not for the next month,quarter and year.
But now though we have taken only first_hier
at run time they can select the second_hier and see the values for the year, quarter and month...
Pls share your thought to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raghu

Hi Amar,
Thanks for the reply.
I feel you didn't understood what i am trying to explain.
It is not the issue with hierarchy loads.
Whenever the Hierarchies fail while saving
What do you by the above statment?
some times the error shows " The heirarchy already saved "
What do you mean by this again.
Seems you are speeking some thing about hierarchy loading...
There are no issues with hierarchy loads. Every thing is sucessful.
The note speeks about :
Executing the report rrincltab_rebuild directly or activating the hierarchies, Leads to a system dump with sapsql_where_for_all_mismatch.
But here i am not talking about the report rrincltab_rebuild

WEBI above universe - hierarchy restriction

Hello,
I read that the authorization concept in WEBI above universe works if we build a universe above a query and we use authorization variable. But what is the case for restriction by a hierarchy? For this restriction in the Query designer there is no need for authorization variable. Is it also possible in the WEBI?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
are you referring to a hierarchy node authorization ? so that should work via the query automatically as well.

Hierarchy restrictions in BEx

Hello BW Experts,
I am a beginner in SAP BW(ver 3.1).We have particular BEx query,where there is a characteristic in the filter part that is restricted by a particular hierarchy.
Now,I need to track the data at the infocube(over which the query is created) level.So,at the selection screen for the cube,what restrictions should be put for that particular characteristic?Is it all the characteristic values in the hierarchy,which are unfortunately,too many in number and might make the job rather tedious or is there any simpler alternative to view the data at the infocube level while applying the restrictions on the characteristic?
Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Minuj Sarma

Hi,
One check you can do to validate the data, remove the Hierarchy for that particular char. then the data is displayed in the normal form and then validate. OR if not to remove the Hier. then check in hte particular hierarchy in the RSA1 under infoobject list..

Vishwa.

Restricted account hierarchy nodes

Hi BI Gurus,
I have a requirement to generate Profit and Loss statement in BI. I pulled up account hierarchy out of R/3 into BI.
The issue is client want to see some nodes of the account hierarchy restricted by specific Functional Area only.
Please suggest some solution.
Regards,
MV

Hi KK,
Can you please explain about manually restricting the nodes instead of using hierarchy? Should it be done at R/3 or BI level and how?
At R/3 level in Report Painter reports each node of the account hierarchy can be easily restricted to a particular Functional Area (at account node or set level) and client want to achieve the same in BI.
Also the account hierarchy should not be maintained at two places. Since well maintained account hierarchy is already there in R/3 which is why BI pulled it from there; now they are looking for ways to restrict some of the nodes by Functional Area.
Hope I have explained the situation with all the variables.
Please provide your valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
MV

Search Help for Hierarchy Node in SAP BW 7.3

Hi Experts,
We were previously using SAP BW 7.1 system and we had a table which used to be maintained through SM30 which has a customed search help on one of the fields for a hierarchy object. And it was working perfectly.
However, one of our systems have just been migrated into 7.3 version and the above functionality is no longer working.
This is what is happening now:
- User selects a hierarchy and after selection nothing is being displayed on field on the table.
We have tried to debug this customed search help in both environments to distinguish what is wrong. We have noted that a standard function module (RRSV_IOBJ_VALUE_OUTPUT) is not behaving similarly. In 7.1 system, the C_T_DATA table is being filled whereby in the 7.3 system, it is empty.
Do you think this is the issue?
Please do advise and propose what can be done to make it work. Or any idea on how to create a new search help for a hierarchy node in 7.3?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
one more thing i will like to add here is in BW 7.3 you get a new security admin feature that allows you to make mass changes to authorizations instead of one-by-one. This can be done by cut-and-paste in a worklist, hierarchy nodes, and you can also add users to multiple analysis authorizations.
The u2018newu2019 authorizations has both the data value and hierarchy restrictions. You can still build using the u201CRSECADMINu201D transaction
Also make sure that all objects are in the TLIBG library and they will be 'shielded' during the upgrade.

Hierarchy restrictons not working with Basis servicepack upgrade to 14

Hi All,
We recently upgraded our system with basis sp 14, and we having the below problems with out hierarchy restrictions:
Problem #1
We recently upgraded our system from then onwards hierarchy restrictions not working, users are getting authorization error when they execute the query. However we tried by adding aggregates now hierarchy restrictions seems to be working.
Problem #2
We are testing hierarchy restrictions for budget planning function, after we add aggregate its allowing the user to plan the data, but when they try to distribute or escalate the data its again throwing authorization error. When I checked error log for Orgunit hierarchy restriction, the query is looking for single values it is not considering the node restriction, the orgunit values appeared in error log all belong to the node I restricted in analysis authorization.
We implemented note#1133674 as this was relevant to our issue with planning function. But this didnt fix the issue.
We are now on BI SP 16 and Basis SP 14
Just wondering If any of you came across with the same kind of issue, Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kavitha

Hi Kavitha,
Please check SAP note 1229602 Error when using hierarchies: Authorization error.

Calculate Total for All Values in a Hierarchy Selection

In Fox, I want to calculate the total for multiple cost elements that are selected in a package with a hierarchy restriction. The total of the hierarchy will then be saved into another cost element.
Does anyone have a Fox logic that they would suggest?
Thanks very much!

Found a solution that works....
Basically I want to call all the hierarchy values in as reference data, and restict the package to only the account that I am creating.
Calculation for Total Sales ( Account 0000100000 )
HF000001 is the hierachy variable that contains all account to be totaled.
DATA ACT TYPE 0ACCOUNT.
DATA SUM TYPE F.
DATA COUNT TYPE I.
DATA INDEX TYPE I.
COUNT = VARC('HF000001').
INDEX = 0.
DO.
INDEX = INDEX + 1.
ACT = VARI('HF000001',INDEX).
SUM = SUM + .
IF INDEX = COUNT.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
= SUM.

Hierarchy Analysis Authorisation

Hi All
We are trying to limit the output of a HR Sickness report depending on the user's position in the Org Structure hierarchy. We can't use structural authorisation as its not maintained in ECC.
We have the org struct in BI and we want to setup dynamic Analysis Authorisation (AA). So we want to create AA with hierarchy restriction on 0orgunit based on a variable. Then at runtime the variable is populated by ABAP with the user's org unit. The report then shows the data for the user's org unit (and all other org units below in the org structure).
In RSECADMIN I can create a new authorisation object and add 0orgunit to it. On the Hierarchy Authorisations tab I hit the create button and select orgeh hierarchy . Then I press the 'select variable' button and I get the error message 'No variable of type Customer/SAP exit for characteristic 0ORGUNIT exists'.
What am I doing wrong? Where do I specify a variable for 0ORGUNIT so that it can be available in the selection screen?
Thanx
Asif

Problem with FC security when data restrictions are based on RU dimention

Dear Sirs,
The data access restrictions for users in our system is configured, that reporting unitu2019s data can be accessed only by users that are responsible for ancestor's data based on RU hierarchy (restriction by RU dimension in data analysis).
When reporting unit is moved in hierarchy from one parent to another - old ancestor canu2019t access itu2019s data as only new ancestor do. But in that case we have a very big problem as users can't build old ancestoru2019s consolidated reports for previous periods - they are incorrect since RU dimension access is restricted for all periods.
Are any ideas how the issue can be solved ?

Dear Egle,
Indeed, the historical data within the reports will not be accessible after the data analysis modifications and this is the normal behavior of BO Financial Consolidation.
Please note that an enhancement request was escalated to allow users to belong to more than one Data Access Group. This enhancement is referenced under the reference ADAPT01028492 ( for more information, you can refer to the SAP Note 1405946 - BOFC - Allowing multiple Data Access Groups).
This new feature is not implemented yet in Financial Consolidation and the current workaround is to create 2, 3 or 4 users for the same person.
However, this workaround will oblige users to disconnect/reconnect many times or open more than one session to apply necessary changes on BO Financial Consolidation.
If this request is quite important for you, we recommend you to enter this enhancement in our new site ( Idea Place): https://ideas.sap.com. Indeed, SAP has defined a new process and a new tool that is now available to customers which allow them to log Enhancement Requests themselves and have the ability to work more directly with our technology and Development group.
If the request sent by the customer is pertinent and voted by 10 other customers at minimum, the Enhancement Request will be probably accepted by the Product Group(to have more information about this new process, you can refer to the SAP note 1515837 - NEW Enhancement Request Process - "Idea Place" )
Let me know if you will need further details.
Best regards,
Emna.

Expand Hierarchy Items

Greetings...fellow matez,
I have a Structure which consists' of several selections. This Selections then restrict a Characteristic "0Account". Now, the restriction of Characteristic "0Account" is made up of groupings of several hierarchy nodes.
Now, I would like to have my Reports to list the items in the restricted "hierarchy selection" instead of just the Total Values.
Allow me to explain by an example.
I have made a Selection "Market Development and Promotion". This consists of two nodes which I select from my Hierarchy restriction of 0ACCOUNT
Now, when I run my BEx report, I only see a one liner which sums two nodes restricted earlier to represent my "Market Development and Promotion" cost....which is perfectly Okay!
But, what I now need is the ability to drilldown to the two individual nodes from my BEx report.
Please advice!
P/S: Remember that this is Hierarchy Selection

Eugene mate,
" Note, that you didnt specify any hierarchies, you just use some accounts which are also included into hierarchies. "
 In my query, I am using hierarchies to restrict my selections!
 Let me explain my scenario, once again.
 I have made a STRUCTURE called 'Group Financial Performance(Operating Cost).
This STRUCTURE contains 9 SELECTIONS and 2 FORMULA'S.
Lets take one of the SELECTION called "MANPOWER COSTS"
Once again, in my 'EDIT SELECTION' box here, I used the Hierarchy 'Profit & Loss' on InfoObject 0ACCOUNT. I restricted my InfoObject 0ACCOUNTwith one item from my Hierarchy on the Left to the 'Selection' on the right. Here I dragged the item hierarchy (CABMSTAFFCOST)
So now, if I execute my query I get the results displayed as following :-
MANPOWER COST(in my Row)
Current Month - xxx (in my Columns)
Previous Month - xxx
Current YTD - xxx
Budget YTD - xxx
Now, in my SAP R/3 under Display Cost Element Group, I get to see the accounts that make up this MANPOWER COST of my Hierarchy 'Profit & Loss'
Such as MANPOWER COST contains the following accounts :-
PAYROLL ALOWANCES
BONUS & EX-GRATIA
MEDICAL
INSURANCE
RETIREMENT BENEFIT
STAFF BENEFIT
I NEED TO DISPLAY THESE BREAKDOWN OF MANPOWER COST HIERARCHY in my SAP BW BEX Report.

Analysis Authorization Issue 7.3

Hello Friends,
System BW 7.3, Currently there are 80 odd analysis authorization objects
We want to introduce a new info object (GL Account) to be authorization relevant, ( there are few objects in the system which are already authorization relevant in the system with proper analysis authorization objects and they are working fine)
Things done, made the GL Account object authorization relevant in RSA1, Created 2 analysis authorization objects with GL Account and TCT objects and one with hierarchy restrictions and one open access.
Added this object to the user in addition to its already existing authorization objects. Created authorization variable in BEx.
Some how the authorization is not picked up and it gives us all the values in the report. But if I add the GL Account info object to the existing analysis authorization objects then it works fine.
I do not want to change all the existing analysis authorization objects to add GL Account.
Your inputs are most welcome.
Thanks
Ed.

Gajesh- I have added the new analysis authorization object to the user in RSECadmin.
Subhendu- Problem statement: What are the steps involved in making a new info object(GL Account) authorization relevant. Authorizations are given at hierarchy level. Can we create a new analysis authorization with GL Account only or do we have to add it to every existing analysis authorization
I have done the following steps
1. Made the GL Account object authorization relevant in RSA1,
2. Created 2 new analysis authorization objects with GL Account ( with hierarchy restrictions) and TCT objects and one with GL Account open access.
3. Added this object ( which has restrictions) to the user in RSECADMIN, in addition to its already existing authorization objects.
4. Created authorization variable in BEx.
5. No existing analysis authorization objects have been changed.
When I test the report, It does not restrict based on the hierarchy that I have given, it gives open access.
But If I add GL Account with restrictions to the existing analysis authorization object, it works good.
Guess I am missing some thing here.
Do you need any other screen shots.
Thanks
Ed.

Performance tuning in Query

Dear All,
My client wants to do the performance tuning in a query where it has the Global structure of 300 CKF & 300 RKF.
They dont want to touch the MP, all they want to do some performance tuning through the front end without touching the Multiprovider.
The CKF is little bit tricky where in Each CKF has 28 RKF and In each RKF atleast 2 variables are used an with hierarchy restrictions. The query is taking 30 - 40 min to execute. Kindly guide me how to handle this.
Regards,
Suman Thangadurai.

HI,
Improving query performance u2013
-     Generate index.
-     Build query on multiprovider and better use Constant Selection Function to bring infoset functionality to Multiprovider.
-     Make your query more dynamic using variables.
-     Do partitioning on IC when you have restriction on 0CALMONTH.
-     Use more free charecterstics.
-     Use include than exclude at Bex level.
-     Utilize Cache mode and Read mode functions.

Cost centre and Profit centre in one query - Authorisations not working!

Hiya,
I have another problem related to Analysis Authorisations.
I have created an AA with Cost Centre and Profit centre access restricted to a certain node of a hierarchy (type 1 - this node and below). For example, the User can only run a query at Cost Centres level of Country Belgium - the query works fine. Now, the user wants to drill down by the relevant Profit centres. According to the log, the system checks for Profit centres like * and says the user is not authorised. All this, despite the fact that all Profit centres belong to country Belgium and user has been given access to see these profit centres.
What do I need to do to enable drilldown by Profit centre? I can't make a "*" access to Profit centre as the user will be able to run other queries at global level, which is not what I can allow.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I don't know if it is relevant, but I had a similar problem when I had two characteristic each with hierarchy restrictions in one authorization object.
I "solved" it by separting each characteristic into its own authorization object.
