BW Problem Extracting Custom Hierarchy

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello Experts,

I have built a completely new hierarchy of new custom master data in R3. I then have used BW07 to create a datasource to extract the hierarchy data with no problems.

I have then created a new infoobject in BW and I have successfully loaded the master data. However when I assign the new Hierarchy datasource it shows the transfer structure with my infobject but with length 0 rather than the correct 8.

When I then perform a data load I get error the error "Syntax error in generated program, row 33". Looking at the code it has indeed got a data element defined with length 0.

What am I doing wrong? Everything seems to be generated, replicated and active. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I cant find anything similar on OSS and I would have thought this was basic functionality.

I have found the answer to this problem.

If the data element the hierarchy datasource is based on does not have a domain BW07 will not pick up the length of the field.
