Maintain hierarchy

Hi,
May I maintain hierarchy between two different infoobjects?For example,the two infoobjects are student name and year.the value of student name are Zhangsan and Lisi,the value of year are 2008,2009.The final result is like below:
zhangsan     2008
                   2009
lisi               2008
                   2008
beside the name,there is a button which can expand to the next level .
best reagrds!
Wang

Hi,
Yes you can have hierarchy like that.
1) Make the hierarchy time dependant
2) Use both Infoobects while creating the hierarchy.
If it time deepndant it will ask for time duration while creating the hierarchy which will give you zhangsan valid for 2008.
Let me know if you need more info.

How to maintain Hierarchy?

Dear all,
We create a hierarchy on CM Account(InfoObject),Every month there ara some new records should be upload to it.
The problem is that after upload new records the hierarchy wouldn't maintain,so the report result is wrong.
I want to kown how to maintain hierarchy ?
Thanks.

Hi
When you are on the infoobject (characteristic only) right click -> Create/Maintain Hierarchy.
External hier. refers to the hier. you extract from external systems (e.g. Cost center hierarchy in R/3 sys.)
Internal hier., on the other hand, is the one you create in BW (thru Create Hier. selection). You maintain it manually.
Please find the Document wiht the Screen shots.

BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN : Maintain Hierarchy

Hi ,
If anybody used above mentioned bapi and created program for hierarchy maintenance, Please send me code.
I will be creating program and is tough to maintain hierarchy logic for certain scenarios.
I have below scenario for reference:
WBS_ELEMENT              PROJECT_DEFINITION
GTRAIN1                  PD-GTRAIN
GTRAIN1.1                PD-GTRAIN

GTRAIN1.2-004            PD-GTRAIN
awaiting for help at earliest
Regards
Manish

Hi,
Try to use
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO'
    EXPORTING
      PROJECT_DEFINITION        = PROJECT_DEFINITION-PROJECT_DEFINITION
    IMPORTING
      RETURN                    = RETURN
    TABLES
      E_WBS_HIERARCHIE_TABLE    = WBS_HIERARCHIE_TABLE.
in order to obtain hierarchy from already existing project. Then you can look at WBS_HIERARCHIE_TABLE to see how to create your own hierarchy...

Maintain hierarchy data in R/3

Hello experts,
How to maitain hierarchy data in R/3. Any pointerts will be appreciated.
Thanks
Konda Reddy

Hierarchy maintenance in R/3 is the domain of the functional consultant - be it the cost center hierarchy or the plant hierarchy etc. It depends on the functional consultant to configure the same and the TCode for each is different and depends on the module... please be more specific...

Maintain Hierarchy Using Programming in SAP MDG

Dear SAP MDG guru,
Can someone have an idea how to maintain/modify hierarchies in MDGF using a programming sequence?
we have a requirement where in cost center we have a field cost center group, after the cost center created, we build an exit program in workflow to attach/move cost center to the appropriate cost center group,
I already know how to maintain hierarchies using hierarchies processing menu, where we can remove or add cost center in cost center group, but i need to now what is the standard program/FM use to doing that,
anyone have an idea?
thanks

Hi,
there is no standard for that. You have to use collective processing.
Best regards

How to Create and External Hierarchy and group values of IO in node

Good morning
BI 7:
Please give me guidance on the following?
I need to either to restrict a characteristic in a query to more than 800 values OR exclude values where it contains the pattern 'Z7' and 'Z8'. There are thousands of values which contains the pattern and they are not listed in such a way that I can exclude them as a value range, thus I would have to include all the values I want into the restriction, which is more than 800. An error displays when I check the query:
""In the structural component Warranty Damage Code, characteristic ZWR_DMGC is restricted to 838 values. This number is very large and will probably meet with technical limitations""
The proposed solution is:
""Create an external hierarchy for characteristic ZWR_DMGC and group the 838 values in a hierarchy node. You can then work with the node instead of the 838 individual values.
Alternatively, you can define a corresponding navigation attribute for ZWR_DMGC""
I know where to create the hierarchy, but I am confused how to only include the values of the applicable IO where pattern contains 'Z7' and 'Z8'.......??
The following are some of the steps proposed in a related thread, but I am loosing it at step 7.
5. Confirm your entries. The Maintain Hierarchy screen appears. You can define the structure of a hierarchy here. ok
6. To create a hierarchy node, you first need to choose an insertion mode: Insert as First Child or Insert As Next Neighbor (see Hierarchy Editing Functions). I selected first child
7. Choose the type of node you want to create: Text Node, Characteristic Node, <Hierarchy Basic Characteristic Node> or Interval (see Hierarchy Nodes) *this is where I am lost, which should I select to list values with pattern ' *Z7' and ' Z8' in a node or two
8. Repeat this procedure until the hierarchy structure has been set. For more information, see Modeling Nodes and Leaves.
A hierarchy can contain 50,000-100,000 leaves at most. If your hierarchy is larger, you should insert a level that is used as a navigation attribute or preferably as a separate characteristic in the dimension table.
9. You can use Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes to set how the hierarchy is to be displayed and processed in reporting (see Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes).
10. Save the hierarchy.
Your assistance will be appreciated.

Hierarchy not used in this case. Could not fnd an answer.

How to preserve manually maintained Hierachy?

Gurus,
How to preserve manually maintained Hierachy in parenth1. We are maintaining some much data manually for BPC only with hierarchy. Problem is every time when we load the hierarchy from BW system the manually maintained hierarchy gets wiped out.
We don't want to maintain BPC only hierarchy as seperate parenth2. I read this article Understanding how to Preserve Manually maintained Alternate Hierarchies with the new BPC Data Manager Package to Load from BW Hierarchies but this is maintaining as seperate parenth2 or 3.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can not maintain the hierarchy in BPC and load from BW, it will be wiped out every time.
What we did was that we created a new custom hierarchy in BW with the extra nodes.

Displaying hierarchy in input schedule

Hi,
I have a customer dimension with hierarchy. i want to display the customer dimension in hierarchial fashion by using customer hierarchy in input schedule. i have gone throught the below thread
Create Hierarchy in REport which expalins to use REPT function REPT(" ",EVPRO(,$C47,"HLEVEL"))&EVDES($C47). when i'm expanding schedule after updating the description column(keeping customer dimension in row in evdre report) with the above said formula results are not displaying in tree like fashion. i have maintain hierarchy in customer dimension under ParentH1 property.
system doesn't generate HLEVEL property as expalined in the thread.
Thanks
UDAY

Hi Uday,
System does generate the HLEVEL property. You can confirm this by going into the SQL tables in the server. Open the table dim<dimension>. This table will have the HLEVEL column. This is a system generated property. If you have hierarchy in the member sheet, then you will have the HLEVEL property as well.
Just to check, place the below formula in one of the cells
=EVPRO(<appname>,<memberID>,"HLEVEL")
The above formula should display you some number indicating the level of the member in the hierarchy. If it is working fine, then you can refer to my reply in the below post
Create Hierarchy in REport
This will definitely work.

How to create hierarchy on bi7 by using dtp

how to create hierarchy on bi7 by using dtp

Hi Deba,
Procedure to create Hierarchies:
1.      In the Data Warehousing Workbench under Modeling, choose the InfoObject tree.
2.      If you have assigned the hierarchy basic characteristic to an InfoObject catalog, select the corresponding InfoObject catalog for an InfoArea.
If the hierarchy basic characteristic does not belong to an InfoObject catalog, choose the InfoArea Non-Assigned Nodes and the InfoObject Catalog Non-Assigned Characteristics.
3.      Select the characteristic for which you want to create a hierarchy and choose Create Hierarchy from the context menu. The Create Hierarchy dialog box appears. The InfoObject name appears by default.
4.      Enter a hierarchy name and description (short, medium, long). Other fields may be displayed, depending on which hierarchy properties were selected for the hierarchy basic characteristics
Fields used to enter the Validity (valid to, valid from) for the hierarchy property Total Hierarchy Time-Dependent
Fields used to specify the Hierarchy Version for the hierarchy property Hierarchies Version-Dependent.
5.      Confirm your entries. The Maintain Hierarchy screen appears. You can define the structure of a hierarchy here.
6.      To create a hierarchy node, you first need to choose an insertion mode: Insert as First Child or   Insert As Next Neighbor (see Hierarchy Editing Functions).
7.      Choose the type of node you want to create: Text Node, Characteristic Node, <Hierarchy Basic Characteristic Node> or Interval (see Hierarchy Nodes)
8.      Repeat this procedure until the hierarchy structure has been set. For more information, see Modeling Nodes and Leaves.
A hierarchy can contain 50,000-100,000 leaves at most. If your hierarchy is larger, you should insert a level that is used as a navigation attribute or preferably as a separate characteristic in the dimension table.
9.      You can use Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes to set how the hierarchy is to be displayed and processed in reporting (see Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes).
10.      Save the hierarchy.
11.      Activate the hierarchy. See Editing Hierarchies.

No able to open hierarchy variable in production system

Hi,
I've have a strange issue in my BEX analyzer 3.5, i have kept product center hierarchy as one of the selection variable for my query, when i click the "Input help" button on my product hierarchy variable, its not opening the window were we can select values, instead of that it keeps on processing for a very long time until we click cancel button and i also checked for other variables by clicking the "input help" button others working fine, wheni try this same query in my testing system it is working fine, Plz resolve my issue
Thanks

I am not pretty much sure about this issue, but what i understand is that, when you try to open input help, the system is trying to display all the possible product hierarchy values, which i suppose the system is unable to display, as your hierarchy may have many nodes.
Just give a try, you said your testing system has no issue regarding this, just have a view on hierarchy attribute settings in maintain hierarchy option of product center hierarchy, compare the node level drill down at initial in both the systems. I think in testing system node level drill down may be less, and in ur current system it might be more.
Hope this may help you somewhere towards finding the solution.

BPC Dimension Hierarchy

Dear all
is there any dimension in BPC where we cannot maintain hierarchy?
thanks
Prasad

Yes!
The general rule is simple - if you don't have reason to aggregate base members of some dimension (like values in different currencies) then you don't need hierarchy for this dimension!

Problem while creating hierarchy

I have 3 zones viz., East, Midwest and West. Under each zone I have few cities like Atlanta and New York in East zone.
Now my goal is to create sales representatives for each city.
I've two ways one is I can right click on a city and select Sales rep ID Insert. But when I am doing so I am getting the following screen:
Create Sales representative: Multiple selection.
with 2 columns Sales repr and short description
Under Sales repr there is # and under Short description column there are the words Not assigned.
However the fact is I've entered all the sales representatives names by right clicking on the characteristic Sales Representative name and selecting "maintain master data".
Now my question is why am I not able to view the names of the sales representatives when right click on a city and select Sales rep ID Insert.
However I am able to find the names of all the sales reps when I do it manually i.e.
1. Rt click on a city name and select Insert Characteristic node.
2. Select the info object IO_SREPNM
3. Here I am able to see the list of all the sales reps and also put the sales reps under their respective cities.
But the next problem is arising when I proceed to the next step which is
<b>To save the screen "Maintain Hierarchy 'IO_SREP hierarchy': 'Modified Version'.
I am getting a dump error when I save the screen. The dump error says Error in ABAP application program AND
If I perform a check on the screen i.e. click on the button Hierarchy Consistency Check (Ctrl+F10) then I am getting the error</b>
<b>Screen name: Error log for consistency check of the hierarchy for InfoObject IO_SREP
Node SAM already exists. </b>
The reason why its giving this error is because there is a rep SAM whose name occurs twice. Now in my data I've Denver city in Midwest region and also in West region. So sales rep SAM's name also comes once in Midwest and West region.
What I want is
<b>How to avoid the dump error when I save the screen? AND1
What should I do to avoid the error Node SAM already exists. </b>
Please advice.
Thank you.
TR.

Hi San,
Thank you for your suggestion. As per your advice this is what I've done. please go through this and let me know if I am doing it right or where I am going wrong?
Thank you.
As per your suggestion I clicked on
1.      InfoObjects under modeling tab.
2.     Right clicked on IO_SREP and selected CHANGE option.
3.     Clicked on the Hierarchy tab.
4.     Selected the check box with hierarchies.
5.     Selected the radio button Time-Dependent Hierarchy Structure [Please note that on my screen it appears as Time-Dependent Hierarchy Structure and not as "Hierarcy structure time-dependent".
6.     Now I clicked on the Maintain Hierarchies button.
7.     A screen called Initial Screen Hierarchy Maintenance has opened.
should I click on the button Maintain Hierarchies because there is also another button called External Chars. In hierarchies.
Because when I clicked on the Maintain Hierarchies button in the screen Initial Screen Hierarchy Maintenance I found a text box called Restriction on hierarchy basic char. With IO_SREP in the box and with an option to select other InfoObjects.
I didnt find any characteristics on the right panel as the screen was not divided into two panels.
But when I clicked on the button External Chars. In Hierearchies a screen called External Characteristics in Hierarchies opened with 2 pannels the left one is Characteristics Template and the right one being External charactereistics. I think this is what you were referring to. So I selected IO_SOFF and IO_SREP from the Characterisitics Template and put it in the External Characteristics window.
8. I hit the continue button and I was back to the screen Change Characteristic IO_SREP: Detail.
9. When I hit the Check All button I got the message Characteristics o.k. and when I hit the Activate button I got the message InfoObject IO_SREP is active.
10.     Now I am back to the Administrator Workbench: Modelling screen.
11.     I selected IO_SREP and hit the Hierarchies icon. The screen Initial Screen HierarchyMaintenanc opened.
12.     I selected IO_SREP and hit the Create Hierarchy button. The Create Hierarchy screen opened.
13.     Now I entered the Hierarchy Name as IO_SREP_HIER and short description as IO_SREP hierarchy
14.     Now I am in the screen Maintain Hierarchy IO_SREP_HIER: Modified Version.
15.     I right clicked on the IO_SREP hierarchy and selected the option Insert Characteristic Node
16.     Create Char. Node: Char. Selection Screen opened. I selected the InfoObject IO_SREG and hit the continue button.
17.     From the Create Sales region: Multiple selection screen I selected all the three regions East, Midwest and West and hit the continue button.
18.     I right clicked on each region and repeated steps 15 and 16 but selected IO_SOFF and entered the appropriate offices for each region.
19.     Now I had entered Denver in both Midwest and West region as it was in Midwest before 1.1.2000 and in West from 1.1.2000.
20.     Similarly I have also entered the employees in each city office by right clicking on each city and selecting the option Sales representative Insert.
21.     Finally when I save it I am getting the dump error. Ive tried so many times till now and always I am getting the same dump error. Is there something wrong with my system or am I going wrong somewhere? Kindly advice.
While creating the hierarchies, I have noted that all the names of the cities and the regions are in yellow triangle whereas the names of the sales reps under each city are in green color triangle. Is it something that yellow color means the hierarchy is not activated and green color means the hierarchy is activated? Please advice.
In the dump error notes under How to correct the error its given as:
The work area used to hold values passed for the work area operation must be at least as wide as the database table you are accessing.
Now can you please explain me how to create this hierarchy without getting a dump error?

HIERARCHY..urgent

can u tell me how to create hierarchy..
senario.... my client told me to create a hierarchy on some new object can u please tell how should i do that,,,
thanks

hi sanjeev,
first you have to select infoobject on which you want to create hierarchy>go to change mode>then in one of the tab>you found chekbox maintain hierarchy>after that just give the name of hier> then press on your left on same screen external chars in hierarchy>after that go for inserting nodes in hierarchy and there after> for loading data go to the maintainhier or by using flat file>if u want to load through flat file the make first node as 0hier_node
like your flat file is like this
1 ohier node - - -- -
2
like this
hope this helps
