Importing hierarchy in STS (automation)?

Is it possible to somehow automate the import of updated hierarchies in STS for a particular subplan?
in STS: General Settings, step "Determine Hierarchy for a Subplan."
Thank you

HI,
The need for this I think is the following. When hierarchy gets updated in BW, for some reason it does not get updated automatically in STS. I have to manually reimport the newest hierarchy to STS. That is why I have the above mentioned question.
Thank you,
Andy

Error when importing hierarchy in STS

All:
I am getting an error when executing the Determine Hierarchy for Sub plan in the Status and Tracking System customizing transaction.
I get the following error message:
<b>Hierarchy contains more than one top node</b>
In this screen, I get the error when I execute the import BW hierarchy for the characteristic 0PROD_HIER and assign it to a sub plan.
I created the hierarchy for this manually in the Hierarchy tab for the info-object (transaction RSD1). There is a button Maintain Hierarchies there and I created the following hierarchy manually:
ALL Top next node
Group 1 Lower level text node (below ALL)
                  A (Product Hierarchy value)
                  D (Product Hierarchy value)
     Group 2 Lower level text node (below ALL)
                  B (Product Hierarchy value)
                  C (Product Hierarchy value)
I have just these few values in the hierarchy and I was able to activate successfully.
Can you let me know what could be causing this problem?
Thanks,
Kumar

Yogesh,
For STS Hierarchy, you need to use only one charcteristic and you cannot have multiple text nodes.
For eg. Valid Hierarchy:
Root Node
Characteristic Value1
Characteristic Value2
For eg. Invalid Hierarchy
Root Node1
Text node1
Characteristic Value1
Hope this helps.

How to import hierarchy text node from BW infoobject

I tried to import hierarchy from BW InfoObject through process chain /CPMB/IMPORT_IOBJ_HIER.
But BPC complains the hierarchy text node haven't been dimension member.
As result, I have to export the hierarchy text node to a flat file and import again which is not convenient.
Does anyone have some best practice for this?
Thank you.

Hi,
You can follow the steps mentioned in the below How-to-Guide of sdn. This explains the steps to be implemeted to inport hierarchies.

How to import Hierarchy Data in MDM 7.1

Hi All,
    I am trying to import the hierarchy data to SAP MDM 7.1
I have the data in the Excel sheet in the following structure
Parent Code   Parent Name   Child Code   Child Name
A1                  Printer              P1               Inkjet
A1                  Printer              P2               Canon
P1                   inkjet                Q1               Model - XXX
P2                   Canon              Q2              Model - YYY
In MDM i have 2 fields in the hierarchy table Code and Name as display fields.
I tried to do partition of fields, combine fields as per the Import documentation. But i was not able to import the hierarchy.
I have also seen some papers on SDN for Hierarchy import, but none of them talk about 2 display fields in the hierarchy table.
Can anyone help me to import the data to MDM.
Thanks,
Priya.

Hi Priya.
You have three level hierarchy in your example
    A1    !     Printer
         P1   !    inkjet
            Q1   !    Model - XXX
Parent Code ! Parent Name ! Child Code ! Child Name
in your import manager
select "Partition Field/value" Tab
In source partition window select your "Parent code" filed
press add
select your "Parent name" filed
press add
in window "Partition by:" select "Parent name" and "Parent code" fields and press "Combine" button
for next fields you sould repeat previous steps
then select "Map Fields/values"
find in Field mapping Source field: "Parent code [Partition]"
map it to "Code"
in "Values conversion mapping" window
select all walues and press "Add" button then Add as Child

"Import Files into iTunes" automator action not working

I'm having an issue with a simple automator action, "Import Files into iTunes". It's the only thing I have in the workflow but when I drop audio files onto the application, the action encounters an error. In trying to figure out what was amiss, I read that there was a version number conflict after iTunes 10, so I followed the instructions here but they did not fix the issue. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to try or how to diagnose the issue? I'm running Yosemite (10.10.2) and iTunes 12.1.0.50. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, I'd happy provide details if I saw them. The message itself just says, "The action “Import Files into iTunes” encountered an error." Is there a way to get more information on the error?
Thanks!

Importing hierarchial data

Hi,
I have an XML file that contains the Merchandise hierarchial data that got extracted from and R/3 system(SAP-Retail).
I am trying to import this data in the Import Manager, however the import status is still diabled. I am using the maps provided by SAP for Hierarchies.
Anybody can throw some light on this.
Thanks,
Triveni.

Hi Subbu,
Thank you for all your replies . I understand that the 'Execute Import' would be enabled only if you are under Import Status tab.
My problem is that I dont know whether I have got understood it right .
I am trying to initialize the synchronized check tables for merchandise hierarchy like the way we import other check tables eg.countries. However in this hierarchy case the execute import is still disabled .
May be I am missing some procedure to be followed for hierarchial import.
Cheers,
Triveni

Import and rename using Automator

Hello,
I am very new to Automator but I am trying to use it to build an import workflow for importing pictures from a camera. Here is the basic workflow (set up as a folder action on a folder called Pictures/Import/Camera):
1. Rename files sequentially 01.jpg, 02.jpg etc
2. Rename files with date so they become 01_2012-07-08.jpg, 02_2012-07-08.jpg, etc
3. Copy files to a network share
4. Copy files to another network share
5. Import pictures into iPhoto
In general the workflow functions as expected. I use Image Capture to pull photos from the camera and add them to the Camera folder. If I only have one photo it works perfectly. But when I tried with 10 photos, the first 6 worked as expected but 4 photos kept their original names from the camera, were not copied to the network shares, and did not get imported to iPhoto. When I tried again, same result. When I tried a third time, 8 photos made it and 2 remained untouched.
I have a theory that Image Capture batches the files over in chunks, say 6 at a time. So the first six go in sequential order. Then when the next batch starts, it starts at 01_ again and a filename conflict occurs. Could this be right? Any ideas how to get past this? The file rename action does not seem to allow for using minutes and seconds in the file name, which would help.
Feeling rather stuck......
Thanks!

Lion is supposed to wait a bit to avoid this kind of thing, but folder actions don't really work that well for this kind of workflow - the folder action has already been triggered by the time the workflow gets a shot at using whatever items have been passed to it. Depending on what you are doing with the original imported items (e.g. the folder is normally empty and imported items are removed after processing), you can add a Pause action and then get the current contents of the Camera folder and use that for the input - a script that looks at the size of the folder (to see when it stops changing) can also be used to minimize waiting around too long.

Now i want to convert this fields in to hierarch struture and i want to import this into hierarchy table which contain two fields(i.e.field1 and field2), in the data manager
My problem is
1) i want to import the data in the corresponding fields
2) at the same time after importing, i want the data of the this fields should appear as a parent child relationship in the data manager.
if any one know the solution for this , please explain in step by step process.
if you have any PDF's on every Import operation in the MDM please provide to me.
It will be greatful for me.
Thanks in Advance.......
bharat.chinthapatla

Hi bharat,
if your source data is like this ex:
1. Consumables & Maintenance Solutions;Cleaning, Freshening & Softening;Cleaners;Cleaner Compounds
2. Hand, Power, Machine, & Measuring Tools;Assembly & Fastening;Wrenches;Manual Wrenches;Manual Wrench Parts & Accessories
you can follow this process:
1. select the category and right click, in the context menu set the split delimeter, in that choose split hierarchy.
2. select the category and right click, from the context menu select split into hierarchy.
3. In Map fields/values tab, in source fields you will see new split hierachy field, map this field to corresponding destination cateory field.
4. in values pane, you can see the source values in a hierarchy.
5. Map these values to the corresponding destination values, other wise you can add to the destination in a new category, ( select the source values node and click on add button and you can selcect Add branch as child Or Add branch as sibling)
6. Once value mapping is over, do the importing and you can see these results in Data manager Taxonomy mode.
as you said: you have data like field1 field 2 field 3
You have to select all the fields in Import Manager which u need to hierarchies and select the option Create Hierarchy field . You will see a new popup window in which you have to fill the fields like ( parent field/ child filed and node) and your hierarchy will be created.
hope this may help You,

Problem import hierarchy

I am trying to import hierarchies from BW. I want to remove the prefix (the name of the hierarchy):
NODENAME=IF(NODENAME(1:3)=STR(XXX) then NODENAME(4:10); NODENAME)
But I obtain an error because not all the members have 10 characters.
The hierarchy is like this:
XXX ASIA
XXX EUROPA
XXX AMERICA
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Iu2019m going to complete the Information, because I donu2019t find a solution.
I use the suppresscharacter function, but, my hierarchy has the same name than the first node of the hierarchy, so I canu2019t use it.
Is it possible to use a right function or something like that?
Thank you

Importing Hierarchy(UNSPSC)

Hi all,
I am bussy with an MDM 7.1 implementation.I need to laod UNSPSC Hierarcies (6 levels). Does anybody have an example of what the layout should look like for an import file.
We use two fileds, CODE field (DF)and Definition Field. Also could you highlight the steps to import.
Thanking you
Chris Huggett

Hi Chris,
As above replies - to create hierarchies during import you will need to use Access. If your source data (UNSPSC number & definition) are separated with delimiter(;):
follow these steps:
1. Select Source table & Destination table.
2. In the Source Hierarchy pane, right-click on the Hierarchy node and select u201CSet Split Delimiter | Split Hierarchyu201D. You should see the inherit default Delimiter, you set the new delimiter.
3. In the Source Hierarchy pane, right-click on the Hierarchy node and select u201CSplit into Hierarchyu201D
4. You should see a new field Hierarchy node <split Hierarchy> has been created in the source Hierarchy pane.
5. In the Source Fields pane, click on the Hierarchy node<Split Hierarchy> field to select it and map this to UNSPSC(DF).
6. Do Value Mapping( here we will have 4 options - Add as Sibling, Add as Child, Add Branch as Sibling,
Add branch as Child).
follow this article:

TDM Importer Excel start index automation

I am trying to create a macro within excel to import and format data from a .tdm file.
The files to be imported sometimes exceed the 1M row limit in Excel, so when this happens, I want to generate two workbooks. One of these workbooks should be generated from a start index of 1 and the other should be generated from a start index of 1048576. Right now I use the silent mode to give a start index of 1 and then rerun the importer and enter 1048576 manually for the second workbook.
My question is: is there any way to set the start index through a macro?
I have considered using the sendkey command to generate the "tab tab 1048576 enter" keystrokes required, but excel cannot interrupt the call object command in order to do this.
Many thanks,
Alex

I have done quite complex processing with DIAdem. Your request is not a big deal to do in DIAdem.
For max flexibilty, you can take out references to the channel. Like shown below in oChan01. This will allow you to handle a channel like an array. The limitations on this approach is speed, The built in functions are faster than this approach, and should be used as much as possible. The chnfind command is one examle that is much faster to find a specific value in a channel.
OptionExplicit'Forces the explicit declaration of all the variables in a script.
dim oChan01,i,oGrp,dVal
set oGrp = data.Root.ChannelGroups("EXAMPLE")
set oChan01 = oGrp.Channels("Time")
for i = 1to oChan01.Size
dVal = oChan01(2)

Hierarchy in STS

Hi all,
anybody knows if the characteristic that I assign to the subplan has to appear always in the layout in BPS?

Hi,
following the error messages in the function I would say "YES".

CHanges to Funds Center HIerarchy not reflected in STS

Hello,
I wonder if the changes that I made to say Funds Center hierarchy should be automatically reflected in STS. Currently when I upload new hierarchy to BW from R/3 my hierarchy never gets updated for STS. Is this a normal procedure that I have to manually re-import hierarchy in BW to STS, or this is abnormal?
Thank you

In my experience the changed hierarchy has to be re-imported to the STS subplan.
(Even if the hierarchy was automatically changed, it would still be necessary to assign names, functions, to the new elements).
