Use
In this IMG activity, you create a hierarchy DataSource, which you use later to analyze data from any area of the system in which characteristic hierarchies are used. To generate the DataSource, you have to specify the characteristic for which the system is to create a hierarchy.
The hierarchy DataSource has to have a unique technical name. The naming convention for hierarchy DataSources is as follows:
- Prefix 1_BA_SEM
- System and client, for example system BNK, client 100
- Analysis structure, for example BANK
- Characteristic, for example RBPROD
- _HIER
For the first DataSource based on characteristic RBPROD and analysis structure BANK in client 100 of system BNK, the system generates the DataSource name 1_BA_SEMBNK100BANKRBPROD_HIER.
Requirements
Standard settings
Activities
- Note that you cannot change the standard name by changing the standard name in the template. Doing so causes an error. In the BW system, you are free to choose a name for the InfoSource.
- Enter the characteristic for which you want to create a characteristic hierarchy.
Even though you cannot change the template name, there is a field available in which you can enter a characteristic alias. Since characteristics in SEM banking can have names that are greater than 8 characters, using such names as part of composite name can cause a problem for the default name, as this must not be more than 30 characters long. If this type of error occurs, the system generates a warning message. This means that your alias names can be a maximum of 8 characters long. This name is then used instead of the original name of the characteristic when the DataSource the DataSource identifier is created.
- Enter the name of the InfoObject that is to be linked to the DataSource in the BW system.
- Choose Create.
- Enter the required data, and then save your entries. The system now generates the DataSource.
Note
You can create only one hierarchy DataSource per characteristic. If you want to recreate the DataSource, you must delete the old one first, and then recreate it.
