Version dependent Hierarchies

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have already created some Queries on a version independent Hierarchy of Profit Center.
Now i need to change it to Version dependent.
Wht difference will it make??
Will it affect the Queries already made??

Hi guys,
definitely! Hierarchies should always be version-dependend.
Makes sense, btw, if you consolidate forecast in version 200, for example, and budget in 300, because you might plan to takeover another unit ; )
Or sell one...
The other reason is to seperate management consolidation and legal consolidation + maybe consolidation in different GAAPs.

Hierarchies Version Dependent

Dear Experts,
I am new to Bi, so please do explain in Laymans language.
I have already gone through Help (experienced in ABAP) and SAP PDF Documents.
In Info Object we have "Hierarchies Version Dependent" in Hierarchy Tab.
1. What is the use of it?
What i undertsood about it is we can maintain different versions and these different versions can be used in BEX Query.
Instead why cant we maintain different heirarchy names and use them in Bex Query?
2. How do we create different versions?
Create different heirachy name and specify version and create hierrachy nodes. Then again create with same hierachy name and specify different version and create different hierrachy nodes.
Am i correct?
Please clear my Doubts clearly and I shall assign Full Points.

1. Yes, of course you can create hierarchy with different name if you like to.
The advantage of version is, you have the same hierarchy name, then in query you can choose same name, but specify version with variable so that it is dynamic.
2. Yes, you can specify different version and create a different hierarchy as per steps you said.

Is BPCNW 7.5 supports Time dependent Hierarchies ?

Hi,
We are maintaing 4 hierarchies for Profit center dimension. Depends on business structure nodes(profitcenters) will move from one parent to another.
For e.g:
In 2009 my PC hierarchy looked like
RBU1
-- PC1
-- PC2
RBU2
-- PC3
-- PC4
And in 2010, PC2 moved under RBU2, and the hierarchy looked like
RBU1
-- PC1
RBU2
-- PC2
-- PC3
-- PC4
So, now the requirement is if they want to look at 2009 numbers they would want to see the hierarchy roll up of 2009 and if they look at 2010 numbers, they would like to look at the new hierarchy.
Is this requirement possible in BPC NW7.5 with out maintaining new hier for 2010.
thanks in advance...
regards,
Raju

Hi,
As such time dependent hierarchies are not supported by SAP BPC 7.5.
This will be deffinately covered in SAP BPC 8.0 release. BPC 8.0 is the major release of SAP BPC NW version.

Regarding performance issue in time dependent hierarchie.

hai
we are loading time dependent hierarchies from flatfile to bw,it is weekely load,we have nearly one million records loaded,we got an issues regarding change of these hierarchies timely.when ever there occurs a change in hierarchy a new row is added to the table,it is degrading the performance,can any one of you please suggest how to over come performance related issues regarding time dependent hierarchies.

hello deven,
if you are only focusing on your application's performance
on the aspect of usability i.e. less waiting time, fast
response UI, i would personally suggest you to use AJAX.
put some processing part on the browser side and making
data retrieval from MI asynchronous... this way, your user
don't have to wait for all data to be presented, but rather
could work on the data presented in pieces (i.e. asynchronously).
anyway try googling for AJAX...

Determine key date at runtime for time-dependant hierarchies

Hello all,
I have to develop a query based on time-dependant and version-dependant hierarchy.
I have selection variables for -
Fiscal year
posting period
version
and hierarchy .
I want to achieve this -
First I want to enter Fiscal Period and posting period and version as user input.
Once this input is done I want to determine the key date based on fiscal year and posting period.
Once the key date is determined i want the hierarchy variable dropdown to show only correct hierarchy in that time for selection.
Is it possible? Please suggest the ways.
Many thanks and best regards,
Surekha

I have written following code for determining key date based on fisc year and posting period.
It may be useful for someone
WHEN 'key date variable'.
    REFRESH e_t_range.
    CLEAR l_s_range.
    IF i_step = 2.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'fisc year variable'.
      l_date(4) = loc_var_range-low.
      CLEAR loc_var_range.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'posting period variable'.
      IF loc_var_range-low >= 12.
        l_date+4(4) = '1201'.
      ELSE.
        l_date+6(2) ='01'.
        l_date4(2) = loc_var_range-low1(2).
      ENDIF.
*get the last day of the posting period month
     CALL FUNCTION 'SLS_MISC_GET_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH'
        EXPORTING
          day_in            = l_date
        IMPORTING
          last_day_of_month = l_date
        EXCEPTIONS
          day_in_not_valid = 1
          OTHERS            = 2.
      l_s_range-low = l_date.
      l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDIF.

XMII version dependency

Hi Gurus,
I have some confusion regarding xMII - SAP connectivity.
If xMII is version dependent? e.g if xMII v12. can be accessible through a particular version of SAP(say 6.4).
Do we need any special connectivity(connectors, BADI etc.) between xMII server and SAP or just installing the GUI for both will be enough?
Thanks in Advance

I think the question should be more like - what version of SAP R/3 is accessible via xMII and not the other way round.
In my personal experience I have connected xMII (ver 11.5) to SAP R/3 4.6 b/ 4.6c and more recently ECC 6.0.
No special connectors are required as xMII uses JCO for connecting to R/3 systems and these classes are installed alongwith so many others when you install xMII, although from 12.0 there is JRA as well. Check up the xMII 12.0 help documentation for more information on that.
Does this lessen your confusion to some extent?

SAP BW Web 3.5 template on RIM Blackberry - Software version dependency

Hello
I have created a simple Web 3.5 template to be displayed on RIM Blackberry 83xx devices.
It works fine, but there is a Blackberry sofware version dependency.
E.g. if Blackberry device has sofware version 4.2.xxxx, then it always wraps last column. There is enough space on the screen though.
If it is 4.5.xxxx version, then it does wrapping better, but still not perfect.
Did anybody come accross the same issue?
Any suggestions how to fix it w/o sofware upgrade?

Hi Roman,
From Service.sap.com: https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/bifaq
I am planning to use SAP BW 3.5. Which BEx frontend and SAP GUI should I use?
SAP BW 3.5 requires the SAP BW 3.5 BEx Frontend. The SAP BW 3.5 Frontend is compatible with SAP GUI 6.20 and SAP GUI 6.40. SAP GUI 6.20 is upward-compatible with SAP Web AS 6.40 based systems.
How can I get the new SAP BW 3.5 Frontend?
The SAP BW 3.5 Frontend is shipped automatically with the SAP NetWeaver '04 software shipments.
Additionally customers can order and install the SAP BW 3.5 Frontend from the following CDs (can be ordered or downloaded from the SAP Service Marketplace):
SAP GUI 6.20 Compilation 6 (includes both the SAP GUI 6.20 and SAP BW 3.50 Frontend)
SAP GUI 6.40 Compilation 1 or greater (includes both the SAP GUI 6.40 and SAP BW 3.50 Frontend)
What options are available to upgrade my SAP NetWeaver BI BEx Frontend to SAP BW 3.5?
There are 3 options available for upgrading an existing SAP NetWeaver BI BEx Frontend to SAP BW 3.5 (assuming you have an existing SAP BW 3.x BEx frontend):
Apply the latest SAPGUI 6.20 SETUP patches, latest SAPGUI 6.20 patch, and the SAP BW 3.5 Frontend patch directly to your existing BEx Frontend.
Delete and re-install SAPGUI 6.20 and SAP BW 3.5 BEx Frontend from the SAP GUI 6.20 Compilation 6 CD. Apply the latest SAPGUI and SAP BW 3.5 BEx Frontend patches.
Delete and re-install SAPGUI 6.40 and SAP BW 3.5 BEx Frontend from the SAP GUI 6.40 Compilation 1 CD. Apply the latest SAPGUI and SAP BW 3.5 BEx Frontend patches.
How long is SAP GUI 6.20 and 6.40 supported?
Please see SAP note 147519 for details.
Hope this helps...

DES, Java version dependency?

Hi,
this is my first posting so please be patient :)
i've written a module that writes DES-Encrypted email-addresses into my MySQL-database. Everything works fine, decription is working too.
The problem is, after I've changed the Java - Version (from 1.4.2_05 to _06) and
recompiled all classes, the addresses can't be decripted.
Where exactly is the problem?
Is it the recompilation itself, or java version dependency ?
Please help me
Thx

The only thing that is suspect is that you don't explicitly define the block mode and the padding. Though I don't like your exception handling and I don't like the way you keep generating new byte arrays and then never using them I don't think these features cause the problem.
Also, you should look at the SUN coding standards for method names.
I have taken the liberty of simplifying your code. Please feel free to ignore my changes if you want.

Changing to time-dependent hierarchie of 0CUSTOMER

Dear Experts,
I like to change 0CUSTOMER to "entire hierarchie is time-dependent" <b>without losing any existing hierarchy or data</b>. Is that somehow possible? I tried changing the Radio Button, but could not activate the InfoObject;
<i>"The Hierarchy Table /BI0/HCUSTOMER must be converted incompatibly with an activation of characteristic 0CUSTOMER (changes to the key in the table). Table /BI0/HCUSTOMER contains data. Parts of this data were lost in the conversion."</i>
I already checked the whole forum and the SAP help, but could not find a suitable note.
Can someone plase help?
Thank you very much in advance

Is language installation version dependent ?

Is the language installation depends on the SAP version ie. if there is CD for installation of language into 4.6c system will it work on ECC 6.0 or for XI or 4.0. ?

Hey,
Every version of SAP system has it own localization language installation. for example, ECC6 might have some texts that
4.6c doesn't have.
Installation of ecc 6.0 will not work on XI 3.0 (sap will not release XI 4.0, instead they would release PI 7.0) due to the fact that most
of the translation in ECC are not relavant in XI (for example, material number is not an entity in XI).

Version dependency

Hi All,
I have a 3.5 box (dev) where I want to deploy a program. we dont have the developer access to this box, so we thought of creating this program in sandbox system and then release the TR so that we can use the control/data files from the TR and deploy it on the dev box.
My question is that is there any dependency on the version of the dev box and the sand box in this scenario; do these systems neccessarily need to be of same version?
Thanks,
Manish

IPods OS-version-dependent?

A friend of mine just got a used iPod Nano and she tells me that when she plugs it in, an alert appears telling her she needs MacOS 10.4.8. She installed iTunes 7.6 (which is what I thought she needed)
I'm not very iPod-hip, but this doesn't sound right. Is it? Are iPods dependent on the current-at-the-time OS version?
Just to be annoying, I'm not sure which edition Nano she got.
Here's a thought. I saw that a 3G Nano s/w update came out today. Would the iPod automatically try to install the update, and might that update require 10.4, thus generating the alert (this assumes she got a 3G)? If so, is it at all hazardous to ignore the update -- and how do you do that? (Tell me there's a cancel button.)
tnx,
Jeff

The current version of iTunes is OS dependent, and not much can be done with the iPod aside from use as an external flash drive without updating or upgrading Mac OS X.

Time Dependent Hierarchies in Bex

Hello All,
I have a time dependent hierarchy with the same leaf in two different nodes i.e,
Mr. Jones was a part of cost center A from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2003 and he is a part of cost center B from 1/1/2004 to 12/31/2006.
When I want to run the report for time period 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2006, will the report show Mr. Jones as part of cost center A from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2003 and as a part of cost center B from 1/1/2004 to 12/31/2006.
Or do I have to model this as a time dependent navigational attribute. If I do this, can I still display it as a hierarchy.
Please pour in your inputs.
Thanks.
In the infoObject i chose time-dependent hierarchy structure. I've built a new hierarchy, with the same leave in two different nodes. Each leave got different time interval but when i run a report on a period which include the time interval of the two leaves i get only one node...
Please advice.
