Loading Hierarchies

Prerequisites
n the InfoObject maintenance, the indicator with hierarchies is set for the characteristic to show that the characteristic is allowed to have hierarchies.

A source system must be assigned to the InfoSource for master data.

If you want to load hierarchies from external systems, you must also maintain the Metadata.

Procedure

1.Select the InfoSource tree from the Administrator Workbench.

2.Select the master data InfoSource for the InfoObject, to which you want to load the hierarchy.

3.Choose Assign DataSource from the context menu, and select the source system, from which you want to load the hierarchy.

4.Choose the function Create InfoPackage from the context menu .Give the InfoPackage a description.

5.Choose the pushbutton Hierarchies from the possible data types. You get a list of all the hierarchies that are available in the source system for this InfoObject.

6.On the tabstrip Hierarchy Selection, select the hierarchy that you want to load into the Business Information Warehouse.

7.It is possible to create a hierarchy as a sub-tree, provided there is already a hierarchy under the specified technical key, and this hierarchy contains the root nodes of the hierarchy that you want to load.

Note : Use the other tabstrips to determine the update parameters, and schedule the InfoPackage.

Result

The hierarchy structure and the node texts/intervals are loaded. The structure information and the hierarchy texts are stored in the Business Information Warehouse.

You are now able to edit the hierarchy. You must activate it so that it can be used in reporting

NOTE: When you upload hierarchies, the system carries out a consistency check, making sure that the hierarchy structure is correct. Error messages are logged in the Monitor.

Responsibilities of BW Data Architect

Responsibilities of an implementation project... For ex, Lets say If its a fresh implementation of BI or for that matter you are implementing SAP... First and foremost will be your requirements gathering from the client. Depending upon the requirements you will creat a business blueprint of the project which is the entire process from the start to the end of an implementation... After the blue print phase sign off we start off with the realization phase where the actual development happens... In our example after installing the necessary softwares, patches for BI we need to discuss with the end users who are going to use the system for inputs like how they want a report to look like and what are the Key Performance Indicators(KPI) for the reports etc., basically its a question and answer session with the business users... After collecting those informations the development happens in the development servers... After the development comes to an end the same objects are tested in quality...
