Load Hierarchies (load_hier)

This task is used to load the hierarchy files listed below. Before loading the hierarchy file, the hierarchy file needs to be uploaded into Object Storage. Only if the hierarchy file is available it will load, otherwise, it will skip loading that hierarchy file. It is configured to load all the hierarchy files listed below with the purge age as zero, but it can be configured to change the purge age in the batch_exec_list.txt control file. If RAP integration (Batch Uses RDX) is enabled, it will only load the hierarchies which are not interfaced using RAP integration, otherwise, it will try to load all available hierarchy files.

This task automatically always runs as part of the weekly batch.

Following is the list of hierarchies that are loaded, if available, to be reloaded.

If Batch Uses RDX is not enabled:

• Calendar (clnd)

• Product (prod)

• Location (loc)

• Currency (curh)

• VAT (vath)

• Location Attributes (satr)

• Level (lvlh)

If Batch Uses RDX is enabled:
