Text or characteristic node?

hi,
i need to report on items hierarchy built in BCS. Am wondering what difference does it make on the reporting front if we make the node in the hiearchy as characteristic or text. How will this effect my reporting performance, its mentainence etc. Since we have option of making the node as text or characteristic, there must be some pros nd cons for it on the reporting side. Kindly advise
thx

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem350bw/helpdata/en/ad/6b023b6069d22ee10000000a11402f/frameset.htm for significance of each nodes...
It should be modeled in BW depending on your structure in source system.
If a node in your source system hierarchy is just a grouping element and nothing can be actually post to it,,then it will go as a text node. ex: cost center group, account group..
If the node in source system corresponds to a characteristic value then it will be a characteristic node. ex: cost center, GL account

Hi Abhinav,
I dont see any performance compared to text or char node. Its for easiness and anyway more levels are always a performance bottleneck. Keep the hierarchy as simple as possible and also anyway you need to add characteristic value or a node even though you have defined many text nodes...esle you will get the characteristic values under node "not assigned".
Anway internally when a node is expanded, its data is fetched and rendered in frontend and hence there will not be any performance issue based on the node types.

SAP BI - Hierarchy Characteristic Node key not displaying Web Analyzer

I am using 0COMP_CODE as a characteristic node in my 0COSTCENTER hierarchy. Using BEx analyzer works fine, but in Web Analyzer the 0COMP_CODE key shows as a "#" in a query display regardless what I set the characteristic or hierarchy node to display.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hi,
If S0001 is a subtree node of A0003, then change the 'type of authorization' to 1 (subtree below node) for A0003 in your analysis authorization. Currently in your case, I guess its 0- selected node only (default type).
Thanks

How to set Tool Tip Text to Tree Node?

Hi,
How to set Tool Tip Text to Tree Node in JTree?
Pls somebody help me to solve it.

bsampeieri,
Been here a long time myself. I don't agree with the one post is enough per se. That is to say, sometimes, it helps to post in several groups so that more eyes may see it. A number of forum posters linger in specific forum topics and may not see the post in another forum.
Now, if in the previous post you/others answered the question and then the OP posted here later, I could see the complaint.
For the OP, the better way to cross-post is to have one "main" post, then have all the other posts refer back to that one (link to it) so that people aren't duplicating the effort to answer your question(s). A simple "I have cross-posted this to get more eyes on it. Please reply to this question at this post <link here>"

and loading is failing.
So when I try to loading again sometime loading is completed but sometime is failed with this error.
I try to find out root cause and I check table RSMASD there is ZMAT entry this table.
How do I remove the entry?
How can I fixed this problem ??

Hi,
Check table RSMASD or SM12 for an entry there.
RSMASD should be blank normally.

Master data/text of characteristic ZXVY already deleted

Hi,
while loading master data I am getting this error message and load for the package is failing.
"Master data/text of characteristic ZXVY already deleted."
Please let me know how I can rectify the same.
Thanks
Bhargava

Check if you can remove it from SM12.
If not (because it is not there), one of the notes says that you can write an ABAP code and run it to delete it.
I assume this is production, and you want a quick fix, so you may want to write a one-line code somewhere (for example in an obsolete infopackage - selection type ABAP routine) and run that. Check if you have access to write and test quick abap code somewhere (ie in SE30, or, in infopackage) the code would be something like
delete from rsmasd where CHABASNM ne space.
commit work.
I don't think its a problem if the load is running currently, this lock has existed from earlier so deleting it as soon as you can would be preferred.

Master data/text of characteristic 0MATERIAL already deleted

Dear BW Experts:
I'm getting this error message when I tried an extraction into an infocube.
"Master data/text of characteristic 0MATERIAL already deleted"
Before the extraction, I've loaded the characteristic 0MATERIAL succesfully.
Can anyone help me? any clues?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
We have also received the "Master Data has been deleted" error message. If you delete (or try to delete) the master data for a characterstic, you will get this error message for the next transaction data load. Just mark the failed request to red and back it out from the data targets and then try loading the data again, this time you will not get any error message.
It will only give that error message for the first load after the deletion of master data.
Now coming to the second point. How to delete the master data?
As all of you know, we delete the master data by selecting delete master data from the context menu of an infoobject. This deletes all the master data records that are not currently being used in any of the infoproviders, hierarchies etc. In the system log (transaction SLG1), it will show what are all the records that got deleted and if a record is not deleted it will let you know where that master data is being used.
Now the problem with deleteing master data in this way is, this runs in dialogue mode and if the no of infoproviders and data volume in those infoproviders is huge it will take very long long time to complete you will get a time out message. There is a function module "RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA" , to run this in background you need to create a ABAP program and migrate it all the way to Production and run it in production.
Luckily, there is a SAP delivered ABAP program which we can use to delete master data. That program is "RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND", run this program in back ground with the input parameters as mentioned below.
P_IOBJNM - Infoobject name.
P_CHABNM - Infoobject name.
P_DELSID - X
P_DELTXT - X
P_OBJ - RSDMD
P_SUB - MD_DEL
P_EXT - MDDEL_Infoobject name_BG
You can verify in system log, which records got dleted and which are not deleted.

How to change the BADI to update the IO Hierarchy with characteristic nodes

I need to modify / enchance a standard hierarchy datasource as it updates my IO into floder nodes instead of characteristic nodes. Can anyone tell me the exact steps where I can modify the BADI for the standard source.
I'm trying to update 0CostElmnt hierarchy (Char 14) but my source data is (char 10).
Any help is highly appreciated.

How to create input text of the node in AVL tree

Hi experts,
I create a simple AVL tree to display the sales order items, just two classes for one relationship. Like the left part on the screen in this program "DEMO_ABAP_OBJECTS_CONTROLS".
I want to let the node of the second class be maintained serial no., somthing like input field behind the node or double click the node, then show up the input field on another space on the same screen.
And there is a button on screen, I can do some check for the text of input field when pressing the button. If the input data is wrong , then show up the error message.
I have searched BCALV* in SE38, but i don't see anything helpful.
Plz give me some advice, thanks a lot!!
Regards,
Claire

To Kunjal and Uwe,
My AVL tree is declared like this:
Data: tree TYPE REF TO cl_gui_simple_tree.
The class is not "cl_gui_alv_tree" , so I can not use the code.
The code I create the node is the follwing:
CALL METHOD tree->add_nodes
EXPORTING table_structure_name = 'ABDEMONODE'
node_table = node_table.
And I looked the program that Uwe wrote, the tree is declared in class cl_gui_alv_tree, too.
I want to double click the node and appear a field that can be inputed text.
Is there any other way to do this with the class cl_gui_simple_tree?
Thanks for the advence help.
Claire

Lack of texts in hierarchy nodes and leafs for 0ORGUNIT

Hello experts!
We have the BCT hierarchy 0ORGUNIT in BW exporting his time-dependent structure from R/3. Now, for some leafes and some nodes above the leaf we have no texts just see the key.
Has someone an idea what the problem could be? In R/3 we have the text and in master data of 0ORGUNIT we also have the text within the right time period...
Thanks for help!
Best reagards,
Peter

I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting. Here is the data we have:
Hierarchy             Key Figure
- CC 0001 (node)      30.56
CC 0001 (leaf)          6.45
- CC 0002 (node)       24.11
       CC 0002 (leaf)     6.45
       CC 0003 (leaf)     5.72
       CC 0004 (leaf)     7.47
       CC 0005 (leaf)     4.47
We want the value 6.45 to show up next to the CC 0002 hierarchy node, since that is the value for that cc. And we want the 6.45 to show up against the cc 0001 node rather than adding everything beneath it. What you suggested below - is that a display option in the query, or where do I do it?
Thanks.

How to set the caption text of a node with user object.

This is my problem for two days below is my sample code. I need to associate object with the tree node but the node is displaying the toString() value of the object. It should display the text I wanna see.
Please help. I was from the JSP world so Swing is quiet new to me, only this year I got again a project in swing.
TreeMap treemap = new TreeMap();
treemap.put("3","3");
treemap.put("5","4");
treemap.put("4","4");
treemap.put("1","1");
treemap.put("2","2");
DefaultMutableTreeNode nodetable = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(treemap,true);
DefaultTreeModel model = (DefaultTreeModel)jtree.getModel();
model.insertNodeInto(nodetable, nodetop,nodetop.getChildCount());

I have created a subclass of DefaultMutableTreeNode, I just have one question with my Default Constructor, is it correct? Suppose to be it should be super(Object userObject ,boolean allowChildren)?
But when I do that it does not compile.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I suspect my contructor inside code super() is not enough the parameters got lost. (btw) i will give you the dukes, please just verify my code.
Thanks.
class MyDefaultMutableTreeNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode{
public String caption="";
public MyDefaultMutableTreeNode(Object userObject ,boolean allowChildren){
super();
public void setCaptionString(String str){
caption = str;
public String toString(){
return caption;
}

Display long text of characteristic in Query name

Hi All,
I have implemented RRI between my sender and receiver query.
When user will click on WBS Element in my sender query the receiver query name will be the name of that WBS Element.
After execution,I am able to see the Short text associated with Characteristic WBS ELement but i want to display Long text of WBS Element in Receiver query name.
I have tried to implement the same logic as suggested by Bhanu in following blog:
Variable screen in Web report
Kindly,suggest the appropriate solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I am still facing the same problem.
Kindly suggest me the appropriate solution for displaying WBS Element's Long Text in Receiver's Query Name.
Thanks in advance.
