MDX for hierarchy extraction

Does anyone know of a way to use MDX to create a generational extract of hierarchies from Essbase? I know the outline extractor will do this, but our co will not allow us to use this as it is not supported by Oracle.
Any suggestions??

I think it depends on what you are looking for exactly. If you are looking for an extract that will look like what you get out of outline extractor or something you can re-use in a load rule, then the answer is no.
MDX only allows one dimension per axis so there isn't a way to write a query that lets you put Gen 1 members in 1st column and Gen 2 members in second column. Each column represents an axis so that isn't going to work. Try to think about how you would do it in Excel addin, you can't and it is the same concept.
You can easily write a query that will let you query member lists and filter based on Gen 1, Gen 2, etc. But how you match them up to know what the correct parent for any given member would be, is a challenge.
A less than elegant solution would have been if you could query and return the fully qualified member name (i.e. [Year].[Qtr1].[Jan]) then at least you could have copied into Excel and with some basic parsing you could have pulled it apart to come up with the result. Unfortunately the Oracle Essbase version of MDX is extremely lacking. It's kind of sad when you compare it to pretty much everyone else who uses MDX. I blame this in large part on the initial idea that they would bastardize MDX to make it look more like Calc script language Essbase developers were used to rather than say "hey, this is what everyone else uses so we should use it too". Kind of like the United States and the metric system. But I digress, the point is that MDX for Essbase is limited and so there is no good way I am aware of to do what you are looking to do.
That being said if you were just looking for informational purposes or documentation, you could try using the Ordinal() function to return members and report what generation they are.

Data Source 3.x for hierarchy extraction

Hi,
Need help on following :
How do we assign data source which are not available in "Data Source List" during the assignment of the data source when creating the infosource?
What is the pre-requisite to extract hierarchy from one server to another server? Do we need to have the same Info Object Name and the same properties?
Thank you.

No - We do not replicate DS from R3 - BI 7.0 & we can't transport anything from 3x to BI 7.0. After upgrade, the whole box will come to 7.0.
There is a option in BI 7.0 if you want to use your old staffs(RSA1old). But if you open any objects in BI 7.0, you can't go back.

Delta for Generic Extraction

Hi all,
Can anyone tell about delta for generic extraction i.e 3 options in detail and when do we use it.
thanks in advance,
chandra sekhar

When you want to customize existing datasources at R/3 sides then you can do that with customer exits.
Suppose if you want to add a column to the existing datasource then you will use append structures (Transaction SBIW-> Edit Data sources - Enhance Datasource) then to fill the column you will write the code in these Exits.
There are 4 types of Exits available.Function Group (XRSA)
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 Customer Function Call for Supplying Transaction Data
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002 Customer Function Call for Supplying Master Data (Attributes)
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_003 Customer Function Call for Supplying Text
EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 Customer Function Call for Supplying Hierarchies
As you are aware there 4 types since the datasources in R/3 are predefined to fill the data of BW viz, attributes,Text,Hierarchy and Transaction.

Doubt in Generic data sources for hierarchy & text

Hi All,
I have a couple of doubts as mentioned below.
1 . Why we canu2019t generate generic data source for hierarchy?
2. While creating Generic datasource for text there is one more option is available i.e. "Extraction from domain"
what is domian please explain .
Thanks & Regards,
Saurabh Bansal

Hi,
1.We can't maintain Hierarchies in ECC, Because the Database design of the OLTP system is based on ERM(Entity Relationship Model),i.e Tables are connected via Primary and Foriegn key relationships, Whenever we need 1: Many connection divide the data in different tables,connect them using the primary and foriegn key relationships.
2. Domain will provide the technical properties of the Field of the R/3 table.
for Eg: length,data type of the field.

Functiion module for hierarchy of classes excluding a sub tree.

Hi,
I am working on a custom transaction for hierarchy of classes by cloning standard CLHP transction.
There were some FMs which will give all the subclasses of a class or all super classes of sub class.
for ex.FM: CLHI_STRUCTURE_CLASSES.
But my requirement is to get all the lower level classes except a specified class( excluding its subclasses also if any).
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

Hi Stephen,
Yes this is what the org unit I want to exclude is called. I'm actually wondering when the filtering is supposed to happen. Is it at the extraction of the data in the FM? I took a look at the FM /NAKISA/OC_OU_STRUCTURE and I could not see a filtering logic anywhere in the code. I saw some authority checks though, and I'm wondering if the following method would work:
- in the SAP side, exclude the org unit from the area of responsibility of the RFC user (an RFC user is used in all the data connections)
- modify the parameters of the /NAKISA/OC_OU_STRUCTURE FM so that an area of responsibility check is performed (parameter AOR_CHECK set to 'X') on the RFC user (parameter IM_UNAME set to the RFC User's uname).
What do you think?
Thanks
M.E.

Cost Center hierarchy extraction errors

Hi,
I'm trying to extract R3 Cost center hierarchies into BW and in doing so, I get following errors. Could some one shed some light on these errors.
Extraction (messages):Errors occured
Error occured in the data selection
But, I successfully extracted Cost center master data from R3 just before hierarchy extraction.
I also checked RSA3 for the hierachy that I'm trying and it pulled around 2000 records in R/3 datasource extractor.
Appreciate any help

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I replicated the datasource before starting the extraction & also I double cheked the hierarchy name between BW & R3.
I don't get any other useful messages in the log & here is the entire log.
Requests : Everything OK
Extraction : Errors occured     --> Errors occured in the data selection
Trasnfer IDOCS & TRFC :     Everything OK

Cost Center Master Data Issue for Hierarchy

Hi,
We are building a hierarchy on Cost Center and realized that the way Master data on Cost Center is stored in SPM it's getting concatenated with Controlling Area. So CC 1234 becomes 1234_010 where 010 is a controlling area.
While we understand a need to make CC unique across several controlling area, it's impacting Hierarchy. In Hierarchy we only upload CC and not CA.
Do you recommend to do concatenation of CC & CA for Hierarchy as well so that it matches with Master? Or is there any other recommended way to go ?
Regards

Hi Rohit,
That was helpful. We will certainly take concatenation route.
However in Invoice Extract File we do get CC & CA separately in XARCOCTR & XSACOARR fields respectively.
When you say that this is concatenated even on Transaction Data are you talking about data AFTER it is loaded into SPM ? Also when data is sent out to DSE will it have CC & CA concatenated ?

Activating and using 0CUSTOMER Hierarchy extraction in R3

Dear Expert,
Could anybody explain me about Activating and using 0CUSTOMER Hierarchy extraction in R3 and then extract to BW systems from R3 in step by step?
Points will be assign granted
Regards
Sanjiv

You can load Hierarchies (sets) from R/3 in the same as other Master Data. Just you need to create Hierarchy DataSource using Tcode BW07. Where you have to give the name of the table and field on which you created Hierarchy iin R/3.
Also there are many standard avilable datasources also for hierarchy for which you can load Hierarchy Directly.
Here are the step by step procedures:
Hi,
If you are using standard infoobject and you want to load r3 hierachy you dont have to configure any additional thing in order to load it in BW.
The Steps are:
1)Activate the hierarcie datasource in R3
2)Replicate it in BW
3)Assign the datasource for an Infosource, and make sure you select the hierarchie datasource.
4)Active the Infosource
5)Create Infopackage
6)Select the desire hierachie in the infopackage(if you dont see it, click on Available Hierarchies from OLTP and select it)

How to get period date of for a given month from a given date in mdx for SSRS report (mm/dd/yyyy)

I have a situation, where i need to write expression Period to date(PTD). i want to know how to get the period date. i want you to help in writing Period date or else is there any function to get period date for a given date(the date is given
from the parameter dynamically) in MDX for SSRS report
ram

Hi ram,
Per my understanding that you want to get the period date based on the month selected and the given date, right?
Could you please provide details information below to help us better understanding your requirements, thus we will be more effective to provide an solution:
What is the format of the period date you want to get, is this date in the DB and you want to filter it based on the month and the given Date?
Did the month and given date are two parameters in the report? if possible, could you please provide some sample data in the DB and also the snapshot of the report structure
I assume you want to get the period date(mm/dd/yyy) between the select month(e.g:Feb) and the given date (10/1/2014) and you should get the date between(02/01/2014-10/1/2014).
If so,and you also have two parameter "Month","EndDate"(EndDate is the given date), please reference to details information below:
You can create an new parameter "BeginDate" (Date/Time) which is the begin date of the period, you can use the expression to get the value based on the value of the month and the year value from the given date,finally hide this parameter:
Specify the available value:
Label:=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value)
Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
Specify the default Value:
Value:=CDate(=Parameters!Month.Value &"/01/"& DatePart("yyyy",Parameters!EndDate.Value))
Add filter to the dataset as below:
Preview you will get all the date in the given Period:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Creation of Variable for Hierarchy Node

Greetings...fellow matez,
 I am using Characteristic "0PROFIT_CTR" : PROFIT CENTER
 Here, I created used SAP Standard variable 0N_PCTR (Profit Center/Profit Center Hierarchy)
 This meets my requirement of allowing User to Input the TOP MOST Hierarchy Node basically means my Hierarchy.
 Now, what I need is the ability of a User Input/Key In Variable to ask for a specific Node of my Hierarchy instead of just the 'main' hierarchy
Let me demonstrate with an example :-
At the moment, I have a variable defined for "0PROFIT_CTR". So, I am able to choose "XXX GROUP" as my hierarchy.
Now, under this "XXX Group" I have several Sub-Nodes like XXX-Functional Groups ; XXX-Business Units; XXX-Subsidaries.
How can I create a variable which prompts for this Subnodes of my hierarchy ?

Matez,
Issue remains unresolved.
What I need is a Hierarchy - NODE variable for my "Profit and Loss" Hierarhy
But, when I use the variable option in the 'Selecting Variable for Hierarchy' scree, I only get to choose my Hierarchy instead of my Hierarchy Node.
How can I created a variable of type Hierarchy-NODE instead of Hierarchy for my characteristic "0Account"
Kindly advice matez!

How to create a New Tranport Request for changed Extract structure

How to create a New Tranport Request for changed Extract structure ?
Hi Experts,
I have a FI AP Generic Datasource containing extract structure with appended fields.
It has already been activated and transported to Testing System.
Now, I am to create a new transport request for this DataSource and Extract structure.
I do not want to delete and recreate the Generic Datasource.
I am trying to look at the options in the extract structure top menu from where I can create a new Tranport Request.
Please let me know the steps
URGENT

Hi Dev,
Once you send the transport request for any data source from Dev to Testing you wont find that again in your Dev (I mean the TR). So, when you change anything for this data source or view now in Dev and try to save it, it will ask for a new transport request and here you can mention a new one starting from View then activate it and go to RSO2 regenerate it and use the same transport request for this too. When you transport this TR to Testing Environment the data source will automatically get changed.
Hope it helps...

You haven't posted ANY 'java program' for us to help with.
The forum is NOT a coding service. It is to help you with YOUR code.
Post the code you have written and SHOW us (don't just tell us) how you compile it and execute it and the results you get. Then we can help you with any problems you are are having.
