How to find direct & indirect BW hierarchy nodes?

Hi Group,
Is there a class or function module that would allow me to find the direct and indirect sub-nodes in a hierarchy?
For example, I have a time and version dependent hierarchy for company (coming from SEM-BCS).
I would like to pick a node (node A) and find out all the direct and indirect nodes beneath node A.
HIEID
+ Node A
+ + Node B
+ + Node C
+ + + Node D
+ Node E.
So if I input node A, I would get back Nodes B, C and D but not E (E is at same level as A).
I can loop through the hierarchy tables and find this, but I'm curious if there is an existing FM or method to do this already. No sense in re-writing existing code.
Thanks in advance,
- Chris

Thanks, that FM is very useful.
Because the hierarchy I was working with originates in SEM-BCS, I was able to use the BCS master data factory to ultimately get what I needed.
The BCS delivered logic can be viewed in CL_UC_SSCR_GENERATE_GUI and method PROCESS_USER_SELECTION. It uses the BCS selection context + the consolidation group (aka Hierarchy Node) to determine the lower level consolidation groups which must also be provided in the selection criteria when querying data.
It's more complex than seems necessary, but it's using the BCS hierarchy data rather than the BW hierarchy data, which is probably a good thing.
Thanks,
Chris

How to provide a list of Hierarchy-nodes for selections?

Hi specialists,
some of our users often want to use some hierarchy-node-values from one report as filter of a 2nd report.
For all non-hieararhy-values it is possible to do that using the clipboard.
But there seems not to be a way to do the same with hierarchy-nodes.
Is there any workaround to reach that target?
Btw: I'm talking about users using the BEx 3.5 Analyzer.

Hello,
was this problem resolved?
can you please temm me how you resolved this issue?
Actually I also am having similar requirements in the project.
Thank you.

How to find tech nodename based on node description (text) from hierarchy

Hi Friends,
There is a 0ACCOUNT hierarchy. If you open the hierarchy thru info objects maitenance screen using "Maintain Hierarchies", it is displayed in hierarchical arrangement.
Here we give text description to 0HIER_NODE object to denote the title of group/category; a technical name is also assigned in NODENAME column in /BI0/HACCOUNT table for each 0HIER_NODE description. And child node contains actual values of 0ACCOUNT.
My question is, I want to find out the technical name (NODENAME) from the title text description (0HIER_NODE) of group/category. where is the relation between text descripion (0HIER_NODE) and technical name (NODENAME) is stored?
Any help will be appriciated.
Regards,
Purvang

Hi,
Go to se11 check the contents of the table RSTHIERNODE with the parameters LANGU (your language) HIEID = A and NODENAME the technical node name of a hierarchy.
There you go.

How to find the id of the node given the path using connect by?

I have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE tab1 (Id INTEGER, Name VARCHAR2(100), ParentId INTEGER)
Let's say I have the following rows:
Id name ParentId
1 X NULL
2 Y 1
3 Z 2
4 A 3
Now, given the path /X/Y/Z/A, I need to return 4
Is it possible to achieve this using CONNECT BY?
If it helps, I have over simplified the scenario - that a node has only one child. In reality, a node can have many children.
Thanks.

Hi,
user2888313 wrote:
Thanks for the suggestions - will follow from now on. Here's one way to post the sample data, given the CREATE TABLE statement you posted earlier:
-- Basic data:
INSERT INTO tab1 (id, name, parentid) VALUES (1, 'X', NULL);
INSERT INTO tab1 (id, name, parentid) VALUES (2, 'Y', 1);
INSERT INTO tab1 (id, name, parentid) VALUES (3, 'Z', 2);
INSERT INTO tab1 (id, name, parentid) VALUES (4, 'A', 3);
-- To test branching (i.e., multiple children for the same parent):
INSERT INTO tab1 (id, name, parentid) VALUES (11, 'P', 1);
INSERT INTO tab1 (id, name, parentid) VALUES (12, 'Q', 1);
INSERT INTO tab1 (id, name, parentid) VALUES (13, 'R', 12);Alternatively, you could post a WITH clause, as someone did above.
I am not clear how to use the LEVEL pseudo column. Should I just start from the root, find all paths up to the level I am looking for? Could you please give me the syntax? Sorry, I'm still not clear what you want, or why you want it.
Do you want 4 because 'A' is the 4th generation in this family tree (that is, because 'A' has 3 ancestors), or do you want 4 because id=4 is on the same row as name='A'? In the former case, use LEVEL; in the latter, use the id column.
This query shows both:
SELECT SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (name, '/')          AS name_path
,     LEVEL                                AS lvl
,     id
FROM     tab1
START WITH     parentid     IS NULL
CONNECT BY     parentid     = PRIOR id
;Output from the expanded sample data:
NAME_PATH                   LVL         ID
/X                            1          1
/X/Y                          2          2
/X/Y/Z                        3          3
/X/Y/Z/A                      4          4
/X/P                          2         11
/X/Q                          2         12
/X/Q/R                        3         13

WEB: How to filter a Dataprovider by hierarchy nodes

Hello All.
We have in our web template 2 dataproviders, one to show a table with different ratios for a PRODUCT, and another to show one Ratio by product but USING HIerarchy.
I am tring to create an HTTP url to filter by characteristic product (which is not a problem) and also to filter the hierarchy but a node.
Right now I am using the following commandad:
http://psigue-mad1.elmundo.int:8002/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=ES&bsplanguage=ES&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=Z_PRODUCTO_AR_PRUEBA_ESTADO_SE&FILTER_IOBJNM=CPRODUCTO&FILTER_VALUE=PERIODICO&FILTER_NODE_IOBJNM=0HIER_NODE
The problem is that the query which uses the hierachy doesn´t show the subnodes of the selected one.
I hope any of the experts arround here can help me with this.

¿No ideas for this?
Bassicly, what we want to do is to filter a Hierrachy textnodes and its subnodes.

How set up visualization attributes for Hierarchy nodes?

I have a hierarchy for 0ACCOUNT and i see in the report the hierarchy totally expanded but in the Query Designer i can
set the values for 0ACCOUNT to show the ID only for every account but the hierarchy have more nodes (text nodes in addition to accounts) i need that ONLY TEXT NODES show the Description of Text Nodes instead of Technical Node ID........in query designer you could set for accounts that show Text, ID or both but in for text nodes there´s no way to do this.......in Query execution you could set up this with extended menu....and you could set up that only shows Text for Hierechy nodes.....I hope somebody could help me with this...
Regards

You are right, the only way to do that is save the query as workbook, then setup the description, text, etc in the workbook , and finally save the workbook in the way you want to view.

How to find if a particular context node attribute is changed.

Hi,
When a screen is opened, the context node attribs has some values. On some event, i wanted to check if one particular attribute in the context node has changed. Is it possible to figure this out.
(ps note that I need not find if any change has happened to the entire table but only one column (attribute) of the node. Note that the node has cardinality 0...n. So there are multiple possible values)
Thanks in advance.
regards,
suresh.

Hi,
If you use the [Context change log|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/ae/f95e42ff93c153e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
and loop over the result table, looking for a certain attribute name and node name,
you'll get all the changes of that attribute, for all elements in that node.
grtz,
Koen

How to switch ON/OFF Unassigned Hierarchy Nodes during Query Runtime?

We have a GL Account Hierarchy based on an FSV that we use in BW reports.
All our reports are web reports accessible via BW Portal.
This hierarchy has an Unassigned Node also that we have suppressed (switched off) for display via Hierarchy Attributes Settings.
When you check the Suppress Unassigned Node box the unassigned nodes do not show on the report.
This has been working fine so far until we have this one requirement where user would like to see unassigned GL Accounts also.
We would like to check/uncheck this flag (Supress Unassigned Node) during the query run time.
Is there a way to control showing/hiding of unassigned node of a hierarchy during query runtime?

Hi Ram,
If you have set hierarchy attribute as display unassigned node, then you can simply select the root as filter in order not to display the unassignd node.
However if you have set hierarchy attribute as suppress unassigned node, then you can't choose the unassigned node by the filter.
So if users want both, you need to set hierarchy attribute as display unassigned node. You cannot really change this setting at runtime by user.

Hi Kim,
you can use command for expand/collapse hierarchy nodes "SET_DRILL_STATE" for your DataProvider together with the print command "EXPORT". For a button group webitem you can build a command sequence in WAD.

hope u can help me,thx vv much.

though i have a vicarious solution,but i don't want use it
right now,i think there would be exist a direct way.
attach my vicarious solution:
function getDescendants(xml:XML,des:String="*") {
var list:XMLList=xml.descendants("*");
var rlist:XMLList=new XMLList();
for each (var node:XML in list) {
if (node.localName()==des || des=="*") {
rlist+=node;
return rlist;
var xl:XMLList=getDescendants(xx,"b");

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..
