Update Hierarchy from file flat

Hi,
We have transferred the hierarchy of infoobjet 0IM_REPOBJ  from OLPT, and a new hierarchy is created in SAP BW.
Now we want to add new characteristic (node)  to this hierarchy, from upload file flat.
I have followed all steps of documentation from sdn but I can't do it.
After that, I think that from uploading file flat, only is possible created a new hierarchy or update a hierarchy created before for this way.
It's correct or exist any way for update by uploading file flat, of a hierarchy downloaded from OLPT?,
Best Regard,
Mario.

Hi Abhishek,
When I try to upload the new characteristic from file flat, the follow error appear:
RSAR 204: Error when you calculate the node level in ahierarchy.
There is two sap notes, but it not apply for our case.
When I create the infopackage of datasource from file, in tab "Hierarchy Selection" I can't select the herarchies available from OLPT, I have to create a new hierarchy. Although I create a new hierarchy with the same technical name of OLPT hierarchy, the system assign a new internal ID.
And I think that, when I execute the infopackage from file flat, try calculate the node level in the new hierarchy created and not of the hierarchy existing in a infoobject.
For this reason I guess that it isn't possible update by file flat of  a hierarchy downloaded from OLPT.
Regarding your proposal of download the OLPT hierarchy, update it and upload to BW from file flat (deleting the existing hierarchy). I think that would be the more aproximate option, but we'll have to analyze the process, because the hierarchy will be updated both from OLPT as file flat.
Have I to assume that my guesses are right?.
Best Regard,
Mario.

  • Extract hierarchy from a flat file

    Hello,
    I’m trying to extract hierarchy from a flat file.
    The hierarchy is built from 3 different infoObjects each infoObject represent different level in the hierarchy. I built the hierarchy in the last level of the hierarchy and put all the levels as external chars in the hierarchy.
    (I used the blog: Hierarchy Upload from Flat files: /people/prakash.bagali/blog/2006/02/07/hierarchy-upload-from-flat-files )
    When I extract the data into the PSA it looks fine but when I choose to  update the PSA data into the infoObject  the request stays yellow. Three is no dump and I cant find the job in SM50.
    Please Advice,
    David

    Hi David,
    Thats the problem with using PSA for flatfile hierarchy loads. If you can change the transfer method to "IDOC" then change and retry the load. The IDoc method gives you an advantrage when dealing with flatfiles as you can debug and notice which record # has errors.

  • Numbering nodes when loading hierarchy from a flat file.

    Hi All,
    I want to load a hierarchy from a flat file. When we number the nodes, do they have to be in a sequence or can I give them any number I want? I want to make the GL account number as the node number since it makes it easy to generate the node number that way. The way I see it, the important thing is the parent node number; so this approach should be fine. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Thanks,
    Uday

    Hi Uday,
       You need to have a running sequence numbers for Node Id field in the flat file. The file structure is as
    NODEID  IOBJNM      NODENAME TLEVEL LINK PARENTID
    00000001 0GLACC     GL233344             00000001
    00000002 0GLACC     GL435556             00000001
    00000003 0GLACC     GL545666             00000001
    00000004 0costcenter cc433232            00000002
    00000005 0costcenter cc433233            00000002
    00000006 0costcenter CC555551            00000003
    The Parentid will calculated by the system automatically.
    when you prepare you file csv please ensure that you have 8 characters for the Node ID " 00000003" other wise you will get error.
    And if you want to add GL Account number to your hierarchy then you need to add GL A/c Number as external characteristics in hierarchy and add it to your flat file .
    Hope it helps.

  • 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.

  • SG300-28 How update boot from file rfb - version 1.3.5.06

    I download to my switch SG300-28 new firmware version 1.3.5.58 I package zip i found two file:
    sx300_fw-13558.ros   - this is the firmware
    sx300_boot-13506.rfb  this is the boot code
    I upgrade firmware by WEBGUI swicth. ADMINISTRATION>FILE MANAGEMENT>UPGRADE/BACKUP FIRMWARE/LANGUAGE
    But i dont know how i can upgrade BOOT from WEBGUI or other... Please help me a tell my how-step by step.

    Hello.-
    After reading release notes and some experiences in this forum, I am really worried about upgrading a SG300 firmware 1.1.2.0 to version 1.3.5.58. Release Notes points out that you have to update the boot loader before the firmware. However some users report that they had to reconfigure the switche after the upgrade.
    My concern are.
    - Is it necesary to boot the switche after upgrading the boot loader ?. This is not going to be a problem with the old firmware?.
    - Can I apply the confirguration backup after the firmware upgrade or is necesary to reset to factory default and do it from scratch ?.
    Thanks.

  • [SSM 7.5 BI CONNECTOR] Updating hierarchy from BW query

    Hello
    I'm working on SSM 7.5 SP2 with the BI Connector.
    I've made a model with the BI Connector which read a simple query with one dimension. This dimension has a hierarchy which we will call H1.
    Bi connector steps :
    I import the schema...
    I create my metrics...
    I update my data...
    SSM Admin steps :
    I create a new KPI in my context with the measure from my query
    I launch the Scorecard and i drilldown in the KPI screen and i see all my data in the hierarchy H1. Everything is Ok.
    Now
    I create a new hierarchy in BW, let's call it H2 on my infoobject which correspond to the dimension.
    I edit my query in Query Designer to set the new hierarchy on the free characteristic. I do not change anything else.
    I repeat BI Connector steps :
    I import the schema...
    I create my metrics...
    I update my data...
    I launch the Scorecard and i drilldown in the KPI screen and i see all my data in the hierarchy H1 not H2. So SSM is not up to date.
    I tried many ways to solve this but i cant find a solution to update the scorecard.
    So what can i do to make SSM Scorecard use H2 hierarchy instead of old H1 ?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Note : H2 has the same members as H1 but in a different order so there is data in both hierarchy.

    Hello,
    did you stop the services and clear the cache?
    In "Best Pratices - The BI Connector in SSM 7.0" it says:
    "In early versions of the BICA Tool (pre 6 June 2008), if you did an Import Schema using BICA then changed the query definition in BI then tried to re-import schema using BICA (or even import schema to a brand new PAS Model) then the BICA may not have recognized the new query definition. This is because the old query definition is still in the Work Database of the PAS user that the BICA tool uses to connect to PAS. From BICA version 6 June 2008, u201CFORCEu201D has been added to all of the IMPORT commands so this should no longer be a problem. The other solution is to restart the extended listener (to close the work database of the PAS User) and then use the BICA to re-import the new query definition. Note that if you are working in PAS directly you would just issue an exit clear command and re-enter PAS u2013 the new query definition will then be available to you."
    I don't know if this to SSM 7.5, but you can try.

    Vera

  • Hierarchy from flat file loading with errors - duplicate node names

    Hello experts,
    I am loading a product hierarchy from a flat file into a custom hierarchy
    object.  The issue is that it errors out saying I am loading
    duplicates within nodes, however all node IDs within a level are unique.
    It seems to be looking at the node name to determine uniqueness and I know
    we have some duplication within the text there especially when you factor
    in the 32 character limitation for the node name.  Does anyone have an idea
    as to whether it is possible to have it only consider the node ID instead
    of the node name to determine uniqueness?
    A colleague suggested using the link ID to fix this problem but I don't know how that field works or how to populate it.
    I'm working in a BI 7.0 environment (I don't know if that makes a difference since you still have to use the 3.x objects to extract the hierarchy).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Nancy

    Hi Nancy,
    You may wish to check this OSS Note 1026749 - Hierarchies: Consistency check for duplicate nodes and 912115 (old one)
    Symptom -
    When you load or activate a hierarchy it terminates with error message RH 109 or RH 211. The hierarchy contains duplicate nodes and this is not allowed. The long texts of messages RH 109 or RH 211 do not describe the reason for the problem sufficiently or they are partially incorrect.
    There is uncertainty about in which cases duplicate nodes exist in a hierarchy and in which cases duplicate nodes are allowed.
    Hope this helps,
    Bye...

  • Syntax error while loading hierarchy from an external file

    Dear Expert:
    I am new to BW and I met a problem today while loading hierarchy from an external file. Actually I am following below article to load the hierarchy:
    /people/prakash.bagali/blog/2006/02/07/hierarchy-upload-from-flat-files
    When I schedule the infopackage, the error message says: "Syntax error in template RSTMPL9C, ROW 76". Actually there is only around 20 lines of records.
    Since I am not familiar with hierarchy load, so:
    1. while loading from external file, do I need to create one hierarchy in advance  through "Maintain Hierarchies" in the infoobject? My understanding is since I can load that hierarchy from file, so I do not need to create one in advance, once the load completed, the hierarchy should automatically generated there. Is my understanding correct?
    2. Before loading the hierarchy, do I need to load the master data of external characteristics in the hierarchy first? Here in my example, the sales hierarchy has 2 external characteritics (Country and region) in the hierarchy. Do I need to load some data first?
    3. My 'Preview' function in the infopackage is gray so that I can not test the data loading. Why is it gray?
    Information like file name, file dir, file type(csv), seperator should be correct there.
    Can anybody help me take a look into that? Many thanks for your time in advance!

    Hi ctsiszidane:
    There are some other SAP Notes that can help you solve the problem.  Depending on your Support Package level check which of them is applicable.

  • How to Create Hierarchy From Flat file Structure

    Hi Gurus,
    There is a scenario for me regarding the Hierarchy.
    Required Hierarchy structure - Region>Director>Manager-->Sales id
    I have flat file which gives the info like user id , sales id , manager id, director id.
    But the transaction data Flat file has structure with sales id, region id, sales amt, sales qty.
    Note : Region id is another Master Data.
    How i can create hierarchy from the first flat file which doesnot have region info in that but it is available in the transaction data Flat file.
    Is there anyway we can create hierarchy based on the first Flat file structure which contains more that 1,00,000 records.
    Try to Suggest me in this regard .
    This is urgent.
    Regards,
    Mano

    Hi Mano,
                    Defining the source system from which to load data
    Choose the source system tree File  ® Create.
           2.      Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data
    Optional: choose InfoSource Tree ® Root (InfoSources) ® Create Application Components.
    Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Other Functions  ® Create InfoSource 3.x ® Direct Update.
    Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
           3.      Assigning the source system to the InfoSource

    there is o relation of infoobject name in flat file and infoobjet name at BW side.
    please check with the object in the BW and their lengths and type of the object and check your flat file weather u have the same type there,

  • Updating Table using the data from a flat file

    Hi,
    I have a table called emp;
    Name,
    empno,
    accountno,
    amount.
    This table is filled with values of name and empno.
    The columns accountno and amount are empty.
    I have a flat file created in some folder.
    Contents of the flat file can be like this:
    mani | 23 | 123 | 1000
    spr | 22 | 342 | 2133
    asjf | 54 | 432 | 2345
    I need to access the file in the specified location, read all the records one after the other in the flat file and update the table "emp" with the values in the flat file.
    Row after row all the records in the file should be updated to the table.
    I found out some way to do this - its sqlloader - But it loads the data from a file to the table - i dont need that - i need to update the table.
    Let me know how this can be solved ?????????
    Thanks in advance.......

    Just to clarify Andrew's point, you can use external tables as the source table for an UPDATE statement. You cannot use them as a target for an UPDATE statement (i.e. you can't update the text file from an Oracle table).

    I am stuck at IPak.
    In the Processing Tab,
    Only the option “ Only PSA” is enabled.
    My Doubt  is :
    Why are the other options disabled: could it be because I might have  missed something in my previous  steps ???
    Or
    if I load till PSA , I don’t know how to load it to the Master data from there –-as when I schedule it : I can see it in PSA but then it stays in Yellow & then turns to Red.

    Hi,
    Go to monitor(RSMO)then verify on detail tab for PSA Load. Hope this help you,
