Background documentation Hierarchy Tree Operations  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The following sections describe how to modify the hierarchy tree using the MDM tree operations. For each operation, you will also find a list of constraints describing the conditions necessary for completing the operation. These operations for manipulating a hierarchy tree apply to any editable tree in the MDM Client, and are summarized in the table below.

Note

The MDM Client prevents you from performing tree operations that would result in a loss of data integrity.
