Load Hierarchies to Z CostElement InfoObject

Hi,
I have to load Hierarchies to a newly created Z CostElement (ZCOSTELEM) InfoObject.
So I thought of using the same way how 0COSTELMNT is loaded. 0COSTELMNT is loaded using DataSource 0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER.
When I tried to create Transfer Rule for my ZCOSTELEM InfoObject:
1) It asked for the source system. I have selected proper R/3 system.
2) Then it prompted with available DataSources. Here I'm not able to see 0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER.
Any idea why I'm not able to see DataSource 0COSTELMNT_0102_HIER?
Is it the correct process to load hierarchies to newly created InfoObjects? or anyother way?
Please help me.
Reason why I have created a new InfoObject for CostElement is [http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2136291]
Thanks,
Vijay.

Very true! We are also working on such an system, a combo of flat files & R/3 data. But I can suggest you to automate the process of changes or ask users to do these changes in releases of 3 or 6 Months. This way at least you can save some effort for the manual loads. Also, you can schedule these loads via process chains, & just do the save hierarchies steps. The only problem here is any change in ATTR master must be also done for the HIER which requires manual effort for some dimensions viz. Biz units.

Loading hierarchies for 0GL_ACCOUNT InfoObject

Hi,
I cannot load hierarchies into 0GL_ACCOUNT InfoObject. I have created InfoPackage and in Update Data options I can only choose 'Only PSA' option. I have loaded attributes and texts without any problems. What should I do?

Hi Maciej,
Hope you had customized your 0GL_ACCOUNT hierarchy on R/3. Refer the below link

Loading Hierarchies from InfoObject Attributes

How can I load a hierarchy from an InfoObject Attribute in BI70 ?

HI
Hierarchy loading is possible in BW3.5
i think its not possible to load hierarchy in BI 7.0to infoobject attributes from flat files.
And for loading in 3.5 you can refer to blog by Prakash Bangali in BI general.

Error while loading hierarchies

Dear all
I am faicng the following errors while loading hierarchies from R/3
1.Error"Error in the hierarchial structure"
When i open the logs i can see the follwing analysis,but not able to understand
Analysis
The node with the technical name 0000104 appears more than once under the node with the ID 10400011. A node must be hung only once under its direct predecessor (parent). The nodes with the same technical name have the IDs 10400017 and 10400012.
When one of the nodes is an interval, this means that the other node is contained in this interval. When both nodes are intervals, this means that both interlap.
Possible solution
Remove the Duplicate Nodes
Can anyone explain this please
2.Error: InfoObject ZH_LKSTOM is not available for Datasource ZH_LONKLA_HIER
I am trying to load the hierarchy for the Info object ZH_LONKLA
Can anyone kindly help me out in these
Regards
Veena.

1.Error"Error in the hierarchial structure"
the hierarchy does have duplicate values. the possibility is that you are loading a set from R/3, where the system allows to have duplicate values in different nodes, but that doesnt hold true in the case of BI. so ask ur functional folks to nake the set unique and the load should go fine.

How to load hierarchy from file into InfoObject with compounding Attr & LN

Hi,
I have created an InfoObject called YCOSTC0 which has a compounding attribute 0CO_AREA. and Text is Lanugage dependent, hence the key is YCOSTC0, 0CO_AREA and LANGUAGE, now when i load hierarchy from flat file as mentioned below, it creates duplicate blank rows in master data table, becuase the flat file contains only the YCOSTC0 Info Object and this data gets loaded into 0CO_AREA column in master data table which is the first column. how can i load hierarchies from flat file into an InfoObject that has a compounding attribute and Language dependent. please provide me a sample file structure with data.
NodeID     InfoObject     Node Name     Link Name     Parent ID     Language     Short Text     Medium Text     Long Text

Error in ALPHA conversion while loading hierarchies

Hi,
I got the following error while loading hierarchies:
<i>Error in ALPHA conversion in NodeId00000088 for InfoObject 0PROFIT_CTR
Message no. RH224
Diagnosis
The technical node name for node id 00000088 is not consistent for conversion exit ALPHA, which is stored with InfoObject 0PROFIT_CTR.
Possible reasons for the error:
The original consistent value returned by the DataSource was changed by a conversion routine to a non-consistent conversion exit value.
The DataSource returns a value that is not consistent in the conversion exit.
System response
Loading the hierarchy was terminated.
Procedure
Check whether the correct conversion exit was entered for the InfoObject. If necessary, change the conversion exit, conversion routine or the data to be extracted.
A further option is to activate automatic conversion in the transfer rules. Here, the system executes the conversion exit, making sure that the data is in the correct format.</i>
If it is not hierarchies, we fix this error by prefixing the zeros (as we are working on Qbox we wont change the transfer rules to select the conversion routine) but here there is no PSA, the data is coming from ALE. Based on this please suggest me to how to fix this error?
Points will be given for any helpful suggestion

Ganesh,
Can you please check out the Alpha Conversion Routine and also nodeid for that infoobject..
There might be some inconsistencies in the code..
Hope it helps

Loading hierarchies in BW from excel

Hi all ,
how to load hierarchies from excel into the BW .
do the excels need to be in .csv format or can they be loaded from .xls format.
do i need to have a specific format of the columns in excel as a pre-requisite for loading .
please also let me know all pre-requisites for format of excel.

Hi Neeraj,
the file needs to be in a special format and depends on the hierarchy of your infoobject, whether it is time-dependent or not. You can see the necessary file structure if you goto infosource, choose your hierarchy datasource. then you will find a button hierarchy structure. If you press it you will see a table with the expected columns. The file should be an csv file. You select it in the infopackage to your infosource. You can upload it directly from your desktop but only if you start the package immediately. The file must not be in use by anyone other, otherwise load fails. be careful if you number your nodes. the number must be unique
ue in the file. the node numbers are the keys for your infoobject or of infoobject 0HIERNODE for text nodes.
I'm looking for a sample file if you want.
Kind regards,
Juergen

How to load hierarchies using process chains

Hi ,
Can any one please explain the steps for loading hierarchies using process chain.whenever i drag the hierarchy infopcakage Save variant is also coming by default,so do we need to have different SAve variant for different hierarchy infopackages or can we have one save variant for all the hierarchy variables.
Thanks,
Vaka

Hello Veka,
How r u ?
Yes ! SAVE Variant & Attribute Change Run will add up while loading the Hierarchy InfoPackage.
Provide the InfoObject Name for which u r loading the Hierarchy in the SAVE variant and SAVE it. The same will be transferred to the Attribute Change Run also.
If u r creating the Chain with more InfoPackages then have the Save Variant & Attribute Change Run at the last.
Best Regards....

Loading Hierarchies using flat file

Hi experts,
I have requirement to load hierarchies using flat file.
I have to create hier on Person Responsible, sub nodes are Sales Office, Project Definition, Project Type and Project Definition Description. I have file, i need to load into BW.
I dont know much about hier loading, can you tell me what are the Attributes to be inserted and how to prepare the hier loading file which contains HIENM, VERSION, HCLASS, DATEFROM and DATETO.
I dont know these fields are enough to load my hier.
I have created one hier, when i try to activate it's giving error like ' no data exists'.
Can anyone tell me how to prepare file to load into hierarchy?
Thanks in advance,
Venky

Hi Venkatesh,
There are several formats to load a hierarchy via file. The following two are the commonly used formats.
1) Default
Node ID                     NODEID
InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
Node Name     NODENAME
Link Name     LINK
HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
Language Key     LANGU
Description - Short     TXTSH
Description - Medium     TXTMD
Description - Long     TXTLG
2) Sorted
Node ID                     NODEID
InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
Node Name     NODENAME
Link Name     LINK
HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
First Subnode     CHILDID
Next Node Along     NEXTID
Language Key     LANGU
Description - Short     TXTSH
Description - Medium     TXTMD
Description - Long     TXTLG
If Default format is used, the sequence of node IDs appeared in the flat file determines the structure of the hierarchy. Whereas the sorted hierarchy format defines the structure via PARENTID, CHILDID, NEXTID relationship.
You make the selection in DataSource/Tran.Structure tab of InfoSource Page by clicking on the "Hier. Structure button.
Good luck!
Bill

Loading decimal value to an infoobject of type char

I have an extract structure with field timestamp, which is of type dec and length 15. Now i want to load this value to an infoobject in ODS. But this infoobject is of type char and length 18. when infopackage loading is scheduled it is giving the following error. Record 1 :InfoObject /BIC/IFITMSTMP does not contain alpa-conforming value 20061206084944.
Is it because i tried to move a dec valu into a char field with a different length? If so how will i load a decimal value of length 15 to a char of length 18. Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

if u r using BI7.0
go to the datasource of the cube
in the general info tab of the datasource
there is a check box with PSA not typed
check it
if u check it all the values from the external source will be converted into character format irrespective of their data type

Load hierarchical attribute dimensions with Integration Services?

Hi everybody,
I need to load product dimension which is organized in a relational table like this:
Product (parent_code, member_code, member_alias, brand, consolidation, formula)
Every product has a brand and I need to load brand as attribute dimension. The thing is Brand is not flat but it has it's own hierarchy. For Brand I have another relational table where data is organized parent-child like this:
Brand (brand_parent_code, brand_child_code, brand_child_alias).
I have used in the past Integration Services but with flat attribute dimensions.
Can I load hierarchical attribute dimensions with Integration Services? If yes, how do I do it, how do I specify the hierarchy?
Thank you,
Daniela

Graham,
This is definitely a supported feature in EIS/9.3.1/ASO. I have many models with this type of structure. How you set it up can vary. Usually my Attribute Hierarchies are not that deep, only two to three levels, maybe four in a rare case, so I don't usually use a parent child table to set up the hierarchy (I'm not saying that it won't work, it might, I haven't tried, but same steps should apply). In a typical model I will have my stock table which has a buyer field. Then in another table I will have my attribute structure which will have columns for buyer, teams, and categories.
In EIS OLAP model, you add your attribute hierarchy table and use a join to link it to the main stock table, joining on the buyer field (you are now going from a "star" schema to a "snowflake". Go into the properties and make sure you define all the columns as "Attributes".
Then in Metadata model, drag your categories attribute onto the outline, then drag the teams and set it as a child of categories and finally drag buyer and set as child of teams. You only set the attribute association for the buyer back to the base dimension.
When you run your dim build it will set up your attribute dimension correctly.
Some things to keep in mind, make sure you have a process that ensures for every stock code you have in the main table, you have a matching one in your attribute dim table.
Sometimes, depending on how much manipulation I need to do, instead of joining the tables in EIS I will go back to relational source and create a view that joins the two tables together, then in my OLAP model, I have one table that has three attribute columns, one column for the buyer and then the other two for team and category, from that point setting up in metadata model is the same.
Good luck, let me know if you run into trouble.

Is a save step neccessary in a Process Chain when loading hierarchies with an ABAP program?

We are loading hierarchies using the ABAP routine found here in the SDN.
We have come accross the issue where the process chain loads successfully, but does not update the hierarchy (this problem is documented in the SDN). It is not a consistent issue, but it causes problems when it does occur.
OSS note 652856 points out that a SAVE HIERARCHY step is needed after the load and before the Change Attribute run.
We have added the step to the process chain, which leads me to the question.
In using the ABAP program to load hierarchies is the addition of the Save Hierarchy step necessary?
Will that resolve the issue with hierarchies not updating?

Hi Bill,
Yes, SAVE HIERARCHY step is required when hierarchies are loaded as part of process chain. This step ensures that the hierarchy data loaded to BW has been saved. Then we have to run ACR so that these hierarchies will be activated and adjusted.
This is the reason why even the hierarchy data loaded using infopackage needs this step. This step is not required if the Infopackage is triggered manually.
