Variable for hierarchy

I am new to BW. I have 6 levels (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6) in my hierarchy. I am doing report, for which I need to create a variable for L2 which is derived from L1. Could anyone of you please guide me how to do that?
Thanks,
Riya

Hi Riya,
Try to do the following:
1. go to the query designer and in that go to the infoobject on which you ahve the hierarchy.
2. now select the hierrachy from the list on the top right corner in the selection screen where you craete the variable.
3. now click on variables(next to fixed values)
4. right clcik and creat a vraible (which will be a hierarchynode variable )
5. now create the variable as you create for others.
now come back and right click on the infoobject and in properties select the level to which you want the hierarchy to be expanded to (level2)

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!

Variable for hierarchy node using in authorization

Hi all,
I have the following problem:
When I create a variable for a hierarchy node and I use it for the authorization, I have the possibility to say, that a user can see all elements under a node.
But it should now be possible, that the user can also see the usage of this node bottom-up ( multi-level usage of this node ).
Is there a possibilty ?
Thanks
Dieter

Hi,
I would suggest you provide more details than just "doesn't work". In addition keep in mind that this is a forum and not an official support channel. In case you need a faster response you should talk to the support team.

BPS Variable for hierarchy type User-Exit

I try to make this type of variable.
The variable is NCSTOPU, hierarchy is
NHSTOPU like
NHMAIN
-- 4
    -- 401
    -- 402
    -- 403
-- 5
     -- 501
     -- 502
     -- 503
So The ABAP is
FUNCTION ZCCB_AHR_VAR_HIER.
*"*"Ëîêàëüíûé èíòåðôåéñ:

ZHIER-DUMMY_LEAF = ''.
ZHIER-DATETO     = '99993112'.
INSERT ZHIER INTO TABLE ET_HIE_NODES.
ENDFUNCTION.
But it doesn't work.
The mistake is
Selected node 5 does not exist
The node 5 selected as the start value for characteristic 5 with the specified compound table does not exist in hierarchy NHSTOPU.
What is the problem?

Configuration of the variable:
Variable Type - Hierarchy node,
Characteristic - NCSTOPU,
Hierarchy - NHSTOPU,
Replacement type - user-exit,
FUNCTION MODULE NAME - ZCCB_AHR_VAR_HIER.
In the planning level the characteristic NCSTOPU is set with this variable.
In the Layout 1) the characteristic NCSTOPU - Lead Column,
                     2) Hierarchy in the lead column - Hierarchical Data Model, BW Hierarchy

Cannot enter value in selection screen for Hierarchy variable.

Hi All,
I have a hierarchy variable on the selection screen for Org unit.
When i execute the report via Bex or RSRT i am able to enter the value directly into the selection screen input field without going for F4 help and then selecting the value.
But when the same query is used in web template and executed the input field for the variable on the selection screen is greyed out and doesnt allow to type in the value. Only way to fill in the value is via F4 help.
Can anyone tell why is this happening and is there any way this can be changed?
Thanks in advance.
-RJ

Hi Prakash,
I am not able to select or click on the input field of the selection screen before and after selecting the value
CTRL+K doesnt work for me.
The display field is populated only when i select a node from the F4 help screen.
When executed from RSRT the field is highlighted and i am able to enter the value unlike when executed on web browser.
The variable is Mandatory multiple single value readu for input.
I found an article saying that for hierarchy node variables the values are forced by F4 value help as the values that are entered manually might not be unique.
This is the link
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/15839190-0201-0010-adb1-d2edd9857b0a
I would like to know if there is a work around or setting that can be made to make it work?

Hierarchy variable for the char

Hi All,
Can v creat the Hierarchy variable for the char who does not hav the heir. another thing is whats the procedure to create the hierarchy variable bcoz when i select the char to create the variable its showing var of type char. how i hav to change it to hierarchy.
Thanx

hie,
i think i understood what you want.
I think you can achieve this by following way.
1) create a text variable for user entry. For which user enters values 2, 3, or 4 as you said.
2) create a dummy calculated key figure and assign this text variable to its description
3) when query will execute, user inputs values 2 or 3 or 4 which will be reflected in the output in the title of the new dummy KF.
4) then write a macro to read that value and delete 1 or 2 or 3 columns from output as necessary before user can access the actual results.

How do I create an automator variable for a path that includes a date?

I like to use Image Capture to scan documents into a hierarchy of folders under my ~/Documents directory that are organized by year and document type. For example, I have
~/Documents/archives/2011
 /Misc
 /Utilities
and
~/Documents/archives/2012
 /Misc
 /Utilities
for archiving miscellaneous docs and utilities bills. Now, switching folders in Image Capture is annoying so I want to use the Automator support built into that app to direct the scanned images to ~/Documents/archives/<Current Year>/Misc or ~/Documents/archives/<Current Year>/Utilities. I was able to do this with separate Automator workflows, each with a hard-coded path to the destination folder. For example,
What I would like to do is use an Automator variable to dynamically determine ~/Documents/archives/<Current Year>/Misc. I see variables for Home, Documents, and Current Year. However, when I try to create a new path variable it only lets me choose a full path to a Finder folder. How do I combine Documents and Current Year variables with the "archives" and "Misc" folder names to create a new path variable?

Well now, you went and made me learn something today. In the Variables Library, under Utilities, is a variable named AppleScript. You can put a small script into this that evaluates to your path, for example:
((((path to documents folder) as text) & "archives:" & (year of (current date)) as text) & ":Utilities") as alias
If the script evaluates to a proper path, it can be used wherever any other path can - you can experiment by looking at the results of a Get Value of Variable action.

Customer Exit variable on Hierarchy Node

Hello Experts
I am in the process of creating a Customer Exit variable on a Hierarchy node. This will be populated at run time based on the value of a Characteristic variable.
The Hierarchy is activated and included in the roes of the report. I would like the end result to be exactly the same as it would if I had manually entered a variable in Hierarchy node variable
I have written exits before for Characteristic variables, however, I am unable to get this to work for Hierarchy Node variables. Please find below the code I have prepared so far. I follow the approach of creating a seperate executable program for each Customer Exit variable. This Program will be called by the Exit.
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rrrangesid.
DATA:l_s_var_range TYPE rrrangeexit.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs_var_range> TYPE rrrangeexit.
IF i_step = 2.
 READ TABLE i_t_var_range
 ASSIGNING <fs_var_range>
 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZMO_WBS_LVL2'. " Characteristic variable
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 l_s_range-low = <fs_var_range>-low.
 l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.*
 l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
 l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
 APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
 endif.
endif.
I would be obliged if anyone can help me understand what is being overlooked. The Query is presently returning "No Applicable data found"
Thanks in advance
Regards
Zubin Kurian

Hello
I have made the changes. Please refer the Code below for reference. This code will function display only those Nodes at and below the WBS element(s) that were entered into the variable ZMM_WBS_ELEMT
IF i_step = 2.
SORT i_t_var_range BY VNAM.
 LOOP AT i_t_var_range ASSIGNING <fs_var_range>
 WHERE
 VNAM = 'ZMM_WBS_ELEMT'. " Multiple Value, & Mandatory
 IF <fs_var_range> IS ASSIGNED.
 CLEAR: l_s_range.
 l_s_range-low = <fs_var_range>-low.
 l_s_range-high = '0WBS_ELEMT'.
 l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
 l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
 APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
 ZVAR_COUNT = 1.
 ENDIF.

Variable for hierarchie node

Hi,
i use in my query different hierarchie nodes in columns
For example
COL A: Hierarchie Countries Node: World
COL B: Hierarchie Countries Node: Europe
in an other Query
COL A: Hierarchie Countries Node: World
COL B: Hierarchie Countries Node: Asia
So i'd like to use a variable for these nodes to enter Europe or Asia.
I've a variable for hierarchies, but when i use it i can only enter the name of the hierarchie. Here countries.
How can i enter nodes in a variable and store them in one workbook with different tables. Both tables use the same query but one with Europe and one with Asia
Thanks for help .... Markus

Markus,
Do you mean to say :
You have different hiearchies in two different queries and would like to enter only the node ? did you try using Hierarchy node variables - this should allow you to select a hierarchy node from the hierarchy attached.
or did you mean that depending on your node input the query should select the appropriate hierarchy - you can try this using a user exit not sure if it can be done in any other way.

Different colors for hierarchy nodes in WEBI 4.0 (Possible or not)

Hi Everyone,
We have been listening a lot about the capability of Webi 4.0 in terms of Hierarchies from BW BEx Query. It works just fine like in BEx Analyzer, but is it possible to create formatted reports like we do in Crystal reports to display different colors for the hierarchy nodes. The reason for asking about this functionality is though Crystal Enterprise also inherits Hierarchical view from BEx Query we still won't be able to drill down in real time to do some interactive analysis.
Where as Webi 4.0 can allow us to do interactive analysis by allowing us to drill down on the hierarchies, but it would be great to show the Webi report with different colors for the hierarchy nodes along with the drill down functionality, to give users the best look and feel while working with these reports.
I am trying to achieve this functionality but I am not successful yet and running out of ideas. I am also not sure if this is possible or not. Can anyone throw some light or share there thoughts on this.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
SRV

Create a variable with:
=[Object].Depth
where [Object] has to be the one containing the BEx hierarchy.
This function will return the hierarchy level starting with 0 (zero).
You can use the value of the variable the in the formatting rules:
variable equal [hierarchy level]
to format all hierarchy nodes on the given level.

RRI passing value for hierarchy

Hello
I have 2 queries, sender and reciever.
In my sender query i have fund center in the rows and the hierarchy is active with a vaible entry input(mandatory) variable.
I have the same settings for the fund center in my reciever query. The variable is also there.
In RSBBS i have done the settings as type generic for all info objects and selected * as selection type.
Now I execute my sender query. when i right click on the fund center(not the values appearing) to jump to the second query it then again displays the screen to enter the value for the variable for fund center for second query.
What settings do i need to do as i do not want to see the variable screen. I want the report to show the values staright away.
thanks

Hi Tom,
I'm just telling some steps for RRI.
I'm hoping this might give you some insight on your current issue.
Steps for RRI
> Generate 2 querys in BEx, using 2 different cubes. 1 is a detailed version, another is a summarized version. Say, one query called TEST1 (Supplier) has a structure as under ( CustID | Material ID ) from the Customer Cube
> Now, you have to create another query called TEST2 (Receiver), which is a detailed version.
> Like say TEST2 has smtg like [CustID | PurchID | SuppID |Qty | Amt] belonging to Purchase Cube
Goto RSBBS, Transaction code for creating a RRI
> Now, include the TEST1 in Supplieru2019s Name
> Now create a new request for RRI below, and use the query/report called TEST2 under Reportu2019s Name, which is the Receiver.
> Thatu2019s all! Itu2019s done. Now go to BEx, and execute the query TEST1, so what we see is the outcome. We can navigate from cube 1
(Customers) to cube 2 (Purchase).
> Right click CustID in TEST1 Query. You can see the Goto TEST2.
> Now details of the purchases made by the customer is available in TEST2 Query of the Purchase Cube

Need a Syatem variable for Executing the report by RFC.

Hi Experts,
Need a Syatem variable for Executing the report by RFC.
what i mean to say is,i can execure the report directly ...then no issues.
But if i execute the Report by RFC ,then i should put a condition with system variable...
Please suggest me ,how can put a condition when i am executing the report through RFC.
Thanks
Babu

Hello Friend,
what I understood that you want to put some extra condition if that report is getting called from RFC...
you can use the system variable SY-CPROG....it will hold the value of the report when it is geeting executing directly...
but when it is getting executed therough RFC...it will hold that RFC name...
Thanks
Krish
