How to upload Hierarchy data into BW InfoObjects

[Former Member]

I have gone through the XI and BI integration document provided by SAP and I found out that using that method only Master data and Text data can be uploaded into Infoobejects using Flexible upload which doesnt support Hierarchy data upload.

I need to upload Hierarchy data into InfoObjects using SAP XI. Please suggest me the best way to upload the hierarchy data.

Thanks and Regards,

Shridhar.

Yes.You can configure that way.But the best option for you to choose among the options and leverage the power of SAP XI as an integration tool rather than just as a passage for routing the message.

You can allot me points if am making some sense...:)

I can say you can definetly uses XI as the integration platform for integrating R/3 with XI.

What is the kind of extraction method you are going to follow in RSO2?In any of the cases you can use RFC adapter for pulling the data from r/3 to xi .

I just want to know what is the rational behind going for XI.

The advantage is that data will be pulled by XI INSTEAD OF BW.Are we integrating this BW with any other OLAP Toools then the XI will be useful.

We can pull data from R/3 to SAP BW without using XI also.

if you can throw more light on what kind of datawarehousing solution is going to target..I would be able to add some of my thoughts..

Hi,

First , thanks for your answer.

Concerning the scope of my project, currently we just have a SAP system to be integrated into BW but in a few times we will get also other OLAP Tools to integrate in BW. Also my customer want to manage all the message processing with only one product if it's possible and currently he use SAP XI for it so that's why he want's to use XI between SAP and BW.

If i understand weel your answer, i can use XI without defining XML file in BW I can use standard extractor so XI just transfert IDOC receving from SAP to BW , it that right ?

Thansk again.

Best regards.
