Multiple hierarchy levels from single table

Happy 2014 for everyone!
Here is my first problem of the year: I got a product table with "coded" hierarchy, like this:
1
Level
11
Level
111
Level
1111
Level
11111
Product
11112
Product
11113
Product
1112
Level
11121
Product
112
Level
1121
Level
11211
Level
112111
Product
112112
Product
112113
Product
How should I go about to create an hierarchy from this table? Keeping in mind that products could be in different levels.
Any ideas please?
Thanks very much!

I think you can model this as a parent-child hierarchy. More info here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174846.aspx
If you are using multidimensional: http://www.brustblog.com/archive/2008/06/22/analysis-services-2008-wizards-is-the-magic-gone.aspx
If you are using tabular: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/alberto_ferrari/archive/2011/07/19/parent-child-hierarchies-in-tabular-with-denali.aspx

Hi,
When you say
FROM    emp e
,       emp e1you are using two copies of the same table.
Can you imagine using two copies of the same book at the same time?
Say you see a word (like "hyrax") that you don't know. You might look up that word in the dictionary.
The English sentence "Open the dictionary to the page containing the new word." is like this SQL query:
FROM    dictionary
WHERE   :unknown_word BETWEEN low_guide_word and high_guide_wordWhat if you saw that word while reading a book (let's call it book_a).
You might want to leave book_a open, and place the dictionary beside book_a, so you can easily compare how the word is used in book_a with the definition in the dictionary.
This corresponds to joining two tables in SQL:
FROM    book_a
JOIN    dictionary ON unknown_word BETWEEN low_guide_word AND high_guide_word
WHERE   book_a.page = whatever -- NOTE: both tables have a column called pageor you can use aliases for one or both of the tables
FROM    book_a      a
JOIN    dictionary d ON a.unknown_word BETWEEN d.low_guide_word AND d.high_guide_word
WHERE   a.page = whatever -- NOTE: both tables have a column called pageNow, imagine that book_a is itself the dictionary. Say you saw the word "hyrax" while you were looking up another word, "ibex".
You can do a side-by-side comparison, as above, if you have two copies of the dictionary. Leave one copy open to "ibex", and open the other copy to "hyrax".
This corresponds to a self-join in SQL:
FROM    dictionary a
JOIN    dictionary d ON a.unknown_word BETWEEN d.low_guide_word AND d.high_guide_word
WHERE   a.page = whatever -- NOTE: both tables have a column called pageNotice that this last bit of code is identical to the previous one, except that book_a is replaced with dictionary.
In this case, you must you a table alias, at least for one copy. It wouldn't make any sense to say "Leave the dictionary open to "ibex" and open the dictionary to "hyrax". You have to have some unique way of referring to each copy, such as "Leave the dictionary on my left open to "ibex" and open the dictionary on my right to "hyrax"."

How to generate multiple idoc's from single appl document

All,
Iam looking for a way to generate multiple idoc's from single appl document (sales order). Based on the plant details on line items in the sales order i have to generate multiple idocs, i.e., send one idoc to each plant entered in sales order line items. any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You can create a Z-program and call Function Module <b>MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE</b>.
You can make a call to this FM to send the Idoc as many times as u have plants in your Sales Order.
You can call FM <b>IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP</b> to fill the IDoc structure.
Then u can keep the materials of only that plant for which u want to pass on the information.
Thanks,
Utsah Garg.

Create multiple sales orders from single service notification?

Is it possible to create multiple sales orders from a single notification (IW51)?
We currently create sales orders directly within transaction IW51 (Create Service Notification). We kick off the sales order creation by pressing the "SALES ORD." button in the notification screen. We're now interested in creating a 2nd Sales Order which would tie directly to the same Service Notification. This is so that we can have the second order assigned to a different account assignment WBS (there are two different parties doing work on the service notification).
I assume you would have to go to VA01 to create the Sales Order, but am not sure how to tie it directly to the service notification from here. I treied to do a create with reference, but there is no ability to create with reference to a service notification.
Do I have to create a second service notification for the 2nd Sales Order for this to work? I want to avoid doing this if at all possible.
I'm running SAP R/3 Enterprise
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
go to vtaa- copy controls for sales document to sales document.
select your combination of order and quotation go to item level. There select value 0(zero) in field positive/negative negative.
No need to change update document flow.
After setting zero in copy control that be told on above. create order with respective to the quotation.
After saving the order.
go to document flow to see the status in between quotation and order.
If you placed setting right, then u certainly observe for quotation status will be open. so you can create no. of sales order with respect to that quotation..
Have a good day..

Multiple report fields from single physical column.

Hi Experts,
I have a physical table like below. Multiple records for a single customer id. The no of Address_type may increase in future.
Customer_id     Address_Type         Address
101                  Primary                   abcdefgh
101                  Secondary               234oij3mb4
101                  Billing                      mdmnweoij4
102................etc.
My Requirement on OBIEE is to display report as below.
Customer_ID, Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address.
101                 abcdefgh            234oij3mb4               mdmnweoij4
Multiple report fields ( Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address ) are derived from same physical column ADDRESS.
I tried to duplicate the Address column on the report thrice and added conditions like Address_Type = Primary/Secondary/Billing for those three fields respectively.
But only of the field is getting correct data and rest of duplicate columns are null.
Tried FILTER function on OBI Answers, but the function fails saying it should be used only on measures.
Thought the alternative would be to define multiple logical columns at BMM layer. Created multiple alias for same table at physical layer and correspondingly created LTS for each on a single logical table. Defined Fragmentation/Where conditions.
LTS1 - Address_Type = PRIMARY
LTS2 - Address_Type - SECONDARY
LTS3 - Address_Type - BILLING
Created multiple logical columns from each LTS like Primary_Address, Secondary_Address, Billing_Address from LTS1, LTS2, LTS3 respectively.
This time, am getting data for all the fields on the report but getting cartesian result.
Can someone guide me whether my approach is correct or any other alternate best approach to achieve the desired result.
Note: I have the data Address on multiple physical rows for a customer, rather Not in a single row. which is causing me problem.
Thanks...
Ramchand.

Hi Srini VEERAVALLI,
I have lot many other fields in the same report coming from other tables.
Does the Pivot table option for above mentioned Address fields affect other columns?
If Yes, Can there be any other alternative? Am thinking of Opaque View at Physical layer to bring all Addresses on a single row.
Thanks...
Ramchand.

Multiple hierarchy levels with shared parent

Hi All,
I have multiple hierarchies having same parent level for a dimension. For example for a given dimension we have two multiple hierarchies
A->B->C->D->E
A->B->F
How should we set up the dimension hierarchies so that we can drill through both the hierarchy path having the option popping up for the user to decide?
Thanks,
Virat

Yes, I have clicked the ragged hierarchy option. I can create only one dimension hierarchy of a single dimension. I want to create multiple path on the hierarchy with same shared parent level. I could see that option while creating the hierarchy,however, on the report , only one path is working .There are numerous paths for the hierarchy in the requirement and I cannot create separate dimension for each path.

Multiple IC Billing from Single Delivery

Hi,
we are using SAP IS Retail ECC6 with multiple company inside it. currently, we do PO intercompany (PO Type NB) with delivery type NLCC. management need to split the Billing document from single delivery. company A create PO to company B. delivery document created by VL10B on company A. this delivery document good issued by company B and gr done by company A. for example, on delivery item X with 100 quantity already PGI. but management need company B create billing with quantity sold done company A.
i already change on vov7 as per picture below:
on VTFL i already configured as below:
on V/CL, auto batch determination not active
but when we create an invoice via VF01 > selection list. the open quantity is disabled (grayed):
can anyone help me, why its still grayed? if there is any wrong configuration please let me know.

Go VF01, click on selection list button (fn key - F2) and you can modify the quantity there.
Note - you should be in the main VF01 screen and not the after you click enter or click process.

Regarding hierarchy creation from sql tables using db / ud connect

bw version 3.0 upgrading to 7.0
sql version 2005.
we had built a sql data mart which is being accesses by a number of reporting tools. BI is one of the systems connected to it. My requirement is to upload hierarchies like customer from the sql data mart in to BW.
The sql tables are in a denormalized format like this,
EMPLOYEE_ID LAST_NAME                 MANAGER_ID      LEVEL
        101 Kochhar                          100                             1
        108 Greenberg                        101                            2
        109 Faviet                           108                                3
They say that all third party reporting tools will recognize the above format and it universal. <b>I wanted to know is there any setting in bw that will allow extraction of hierarchies from the above table format ? if not I can only think of arranging data in the format of BW transfer structure, similar to flat file load.</b>
I want to know can I upload hierarchies from sql tables or should I create flat files from tables ?
Inputs will be awarded points.

How to use multiple tape drive from single client when I want to backup single filesystem?

Hello All.
I want to backup 1 filesystem using 4 tape drives for reducing backup time.
In case of symantec veritas netbackup, they can user "NEW_STREAM" for multi-streaming backup.
Please anybody let me know that how to do use multiple tape drive for single client.
1. Backup Source server : Linux (1 client)
2. Backup Soucre : /data1 (500GB)
-> Current directory structure doesn't have sub directory under /data1, just files present under /data1
If direcotry struceture has a sub-direcotry like( /data1/aaa, /data1/bbb ), Is it availble to use multiple tape drives?
3. Tape Drive with OSB : LTO6 * 4 drives
Thank you.

You would have to create a different dataset for each sub-folder. If you only have files at the top level folder then even the NEW_STREAM option couldn't be used to split the job.
Organise it into folders and then create datasets in a client folder such as :
/usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/dataset/Linux/data1_aaa
/usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/dataset/Linux/data1_bbb
Then in the schedule you just specify the Linux folder. In each dataset you list the hostname and the folder name, such as :
include host Linux
include path /data1/aaa
Now it will create a new job for each dataset and therefore each folder.
Thanks

Retrieving multiple rows selected from a table

I want to retrieve selected multiple rows from a table and pass it to other views. Does anyone know how to implement this

You could try a simple example:
Create a context node "Rows" with a string attribute "Text". Create some node elements in wdDoInit().
Create an action "ShowSelectedRowIndices" and implement the event handler as follows:
//@@begin javadoc:onActionShowSelectedRowIndices(ServerEvent)
/** Declared validating event handler. */
//@@end
public void onActionShowSelectedRowIndices(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionShowSelectedRowIndices(ServerEvent)
    StringBuffer msg = new StringBuffer("Multi-selected rows:");
    for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeRows().size(); ++i)
      if (wdContext.nodeRows().isMultiSelected(i))
        msg.append(" ").append(i);
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(msg.toString());
    //@@end
When executing the action (e.g. with a button) you will see the selected indices in the message area.

ie i have some banks ,if i run an request ,it will get the details of each bank details ,induadual template .
let me know the solution for this one.
thanks inadvance.

Pl post details of OS, database and EBS versions.
Pl elaborate on your requirements. Assuming you are using XML/BI Publisher, the physical output file will be a single file, but you can use XML/BI Publisher bursting features to separate out different outputs.

Multiple sources to a single table

Hi,
I have two seperate target tables from two seperate mappings. I need to determine the row count from the two tables and feed it in a seperate mapping to a single target table as two seperate attributes. My several attempts have resulted in the error "Attributes flowing into target table have different data sources". Is there someone in this forum that could recommend some solution to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi,
there are several variants:
1) insert your target table into mapping twice
2) use UNION ALL (Set operator)
