Hierarchies in 7.3 IDOC or PSA Mode ?

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I'm trying to implement a Content Datasource for Hierarchies in 7.3.

Working through guidances, there seems to be a difference in

defining mappings in eransformations depending on extraction mode.

My questions : What and where are the criteria for distinction? In Info package, datasource..?

Can I switch it ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Joe

You have a migrated hierarchy datasource or an old one?

Why you want to change the transfer method?

Check the following link from the help (Creating a Transformation for a Hierarchy - Modeling - SAP Library)

Check in the Processing tab in infopackage what are your valid choices.

Thank you

Hi Yiannis,

First of all thanks for quick response.

As I mentioned (and explained in document above) defintions in transformations depend on

extract mode. I guess If object "fieldnm" appears in DS is PSA, otherwise IDOC.

I just wanted to witch it, in oder to verify this theory. In IP only PSA is checked, no other option

selectable, "IDOC" not even suggested.

And yes, I migrated DS, extended startroutinee and did an hierarchy split for IOs affected.

In my case custom objects (copies of 0ACCOUNT  and 0CACCTS).

Split works fine for single values, but not for intervals. At intervals  "leafto" is derived

in a correct way,but "leaffrom" provides unexpected values, so process ends  with an error.

Interval node with the ID 000000xx : The from-value is larger than the to-value.

I debugged, chenged mapping, added routines, but I'm struggling any time. And no ides

about a sollution.

In SCN and other sources I didn't find helpful posts.

PS: Every hint is still welcome.

Hi Joe

I am sorry but i don't know how to change the transfer method type.

As i can see you have done a lot and you had no success yet, i don't know if i can help you further.

I just wanted to point a few more things if you don't mind.(There is always the old fashion way to upload your hierarchy)

So you are working with the 7.x flow version. Your hierarchy is interval permitted.

It seems that the from value is not updated correctly, you said that you have extended the start routine, that means that you have created the code for the from value? (maybe you have come in the following doc but just to be sure you have done something like that is written in the doc http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-30698)

I assume that a debugging on that start routine will give you a clue on what is wrong with it.

Thank you

no success, after days of try and error and struggling around with debugger I gave up.

Finally I restored the 3.5 scenario, and it works fine, as usual.
