RSSHFORIOBJSAVE - Enter XPRA External Hierarchy Characteristics on Hierarchy Basis Char.

Purpose

In 3.0B, you need to enter external hierarchy characteristics in the InfoObject maintenance.

These are characteristics which appear in hierarchies but which are not the basic characteristics for which the characteristic was created. (Hierarchy tab title -> External Characteristics in Hierarchies (Up to 3.0A patch 5, the button was called 'Characteristics in PSA Hierarchies')).

Why?

1. These InfoObjects must be stored for new 3.0 hierarchy DataSources (flexible hierarchies) as these InfoObjects serve as templates for the communication structure. Unlike with the old DataSources, the InfoObject name is not transferred from the OLTP system. For this reason, the corresponding field must be mapped to an InfoObject, as is the case with transaction and master data.

2. Several BW programs need to know which InfoObjects appear in hierarchies. The setting provides this information without affecting system performance.

3. In the hierarchy maintenance, you can only transfer those InfoObjects that are to be used with a hierarchy.

All external characteristics that appear in a hierarchy must be specified in the InfoObject maintenance for the hierarchy basis characteristic. You do not need to enter the hierarchy basis characteristic itself nor the InfoObject for the text node (0HIER_NODE).

For example: You need to enter the InfoObjects 0COUNTRY and 0REGION as external characteristics for the InfoObject 0CUSTOMER, for a customer hierarchy for the hierarchy basis characteristic 0CUSTOMER (0COUNTRY) and region (0REGION). (InfoObject maintenance for 0CUSTOMER -> Hierarchy tabstrip -> Button 'External characteristics in hierarchies' (Up to patch 5, the button was called 'Characteristics in PSA Hierarchies') -> Transfer 0REGION and 0COUNTRY).

When upgrading to 3.0B, this XPRA runs and trims the hierarchy tables of external characteristics, entering these in the InfoObject. However, a customer receives an error message when he or she transfers a characteristic for the first time and uses a hierarchy DataSource that uses external characteristics which have not been entered into the InfoObject. This error message describes where he or she is to enter these InfoObjects.

This XPRA is not executed in an SAP Content development system, since this would mean all external InfoObjects that appear in hierarchies would be entered in the InfoObject. This would mean all InfoObjects that appear in the hierarchy for test purposes or via a flatfile upload are incorrectly entered in the InfoObject.
