SAPBIHierarchy Extract
This extract retrieves hierarchies for SAP BW InfoObjects.
Settings
Connection | Name of the SAP connection. |
InfoObject | Name of the InfoObject |
Extract mode | Modes are noMasterdata, masterWithoutText, and masterWithText. |
Filter | Multiple hierarchies for one InfoObject are possible. If no hierarchy is specified, all available hierarchies for the InfoObject are extracted. Otherwise you have to select.
Parent node in hierarchy: Filters a hierarchy to nodes under the indicated parent node (optional). Note: if you have characteristic nodes from external info objects as consolidated elements in the SAP BW Hierarchy, the parent has to be entered in this way: <node name>@<external characteristic> ; e.g.1234@0ABC (node 1234, external info object 0ABC) Date to: Validity date of hierarchy (optional). The date has to be given in the form yyyyMMdd e.g. 99991231 Version of hierarchy (optional). Prefix: A specified prefix is added on all hierarchy nodes (consolidated nodes) of the hierarchy so that alternative hierarchies with intersecting hierarchy nodes can be built up as a combined hierarchy (optional). |
Text attributes | Description texts for the hierarchy nodes are extracted. The following descriptions are available in the SAP BI system:
It is possible to extract several descriptions parallel. Note: texts are only extracted for the hierarchical text nodes of the hierarchy (consolidated elements). For basic elements, the texts have to be extracted with source SAPBIMaster. |
Remove left | Possible compounding InfoObjects can be cut for the data output. The number of figures of the compounding InfoObjects has to be specified.
Example: Infoobject 0COSTCENTER is compounded with 0CO_AREA. Length of 0CO_AREA is 4. For an output without 0CO_AREA, parameter has to be set to 4. |
Alpha conversion | When the flag is set, the external format without left-hand zeros is used for the base elements. |
