Example

You wish to represent the investment programs "WORLD" and "USA", which exist in one or more OLTP systems, together in the Business Information Warehouse (BW). "WORLD" is to determine the hierarchy, while "USA" is only to supply data.

The OLTP program name "WORLD" does not have four characters, and must therefore be replaced with a new BW program name (such as "PRO1"); you therefore rename the programs "WORLD" and "USA" for BW, and call them "PRO1".

You set the indicator to denote that the OLTP program "WORLD" is the hierarchical program.

In BW, reports can be run together for both investment programs, "WORLD" and "USA", under the name "PRO1".

Requirements

  • The names of OLTP programs can have up to eight characters, but BW program names may only have four. It may be necessary to change longer program names to be no longer than four characters for the BW.
  • One investment program from the OLTP has to specify the hierarchical structures of the overall program to be created, which means it must be hierarchical. All program items existing in the other OLTP investment programs have to be created in this program. The programs that only supply data may only be sub-hierarchies of the hierarchical program. You must have defined a complete investment program, therefore; any additional programs serve as sub-structures.
  • The program items of the hierarchical program must have the same names as the program items of programs supplying data.

The user must ensure that the following conditions are met:

  • A hierarchical program is defined.
  • The system does not contain several programs that are defined as being hierarchical; the system checks whether more than one hierarchical program is contained in the system.
  • The hierarchical program contains the program items of the programs providing data.

Standard settings

Investment programs that have four-character names are automatically transferred to the BW under their OLTP names. They only need to be maintained in the table if they are to be represented together with other investment programs.

Recommendation

Activities

  1. Assign new, four-character BW program names to all OLTP programs that have names containing more than four characters.
  2. Assign a common program name to all investment programs that are to be summarized in BW. You enter this name in the "Program (BW)" column.
  3. If several OLTP programs are combined in one BW program, indicate which is the hierarchical program by selecting the column "HierBearng" for the relevant program.

    Result:
    All investment programs to which you have assigned the same program name for BW and which have the same approval year can be represented together in the same summarization report.
