A few Questions on ABAP Query

Hi Guru's
I would like to ask some questions on ABAP query.
1. Can you transport abab queries? Should it only be Global or you can also transport Standard Areas?
2. Once transported, am i able to change query?
Thanks,
Jograd

hi....
you can transport a quary but for that the quary should be an object itself or attached to some object
and
if once transported to production....you cannot change it there and for changing you have to get it in developement sysytem and then make any change.

Question in ABAP query

Hello All:
I created ABAP query and when I transported the system created transport number but it also creates defualt description "transport for ABAP query". I did a mistake by not going to tranports and updating the description to something meaningful! I created several queries and all have same description "Transport for ABAP query" and when I go to se10 it does not tell me what query the transport is tied to!! Is there a way I can find the query I created based on tranport request number? Please help me.
Thanks.
Mithun

Hi Mithun,
Go into SQ02 or SQ03 and click the Transport button to get into the Query Transport functions (or you can execute RSAQR3TR from SA38).
Select the Display radiobutton at the top of the screen.
Input the transport number in the "Dataset with imports" field at the bottom of the screen.
Click execute and you will get a list of the Query Transport contents.
hope that helps
Points Appreciated

Question about ABAP Query

Hi,
I have a SQ01 query .. based on that query i have to call another query
ie : when my basic list gets diplayed .. after i click on it a detailed list should be displayed (this again is another SQ01 query)... is this possible through abap Query and if it is where am i supposed to code this
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, everyone, question about abap query? thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,
there is an information message that "Do all fields used have a name? (use help)" after I click the button "Generate" in tcode(infoset) sq02 with my infoset. can anyone tell me what is wrong? Before I click "generate" my infoset I added an additional field zerdat type vbak-erdat, and the code as follows:
if vbak-erdat < sy-datum.
zerdat = sy-datum.
else.
zerdat = vbak-erdat.
endif.
the code I check is consistent as the system said, only after I click "generate" the system gave an information message as I said above.
Best regards
Dawson

This is just a information message whether all the fields are included in the Field groups/Data fields ( right hand side)

Abap Query - Creation of Report

Hi guys,
I do have a question to ABAP Query:
I want to create a report that shows me all current active employees and all of their corresponding positions from Infotype 1.
I have got it to the part where the report gives me all employees (active and withdrawn).
The question is:
How can I show only active employees as of todays date?
Thanks,
Sascha

Thanks for your reply,
but if I enter date 31.12.9999 and status of active. it gives me for some the latest record and for some two - though I could not find out why?!
I should say, I am using logical database PNP for this query

ABAP query vs ABAP report

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding ABAP query and report.
what is the difference between ABAP query and ABAP report ?
will the query be more efficient than abap report ?
Is there a standard SAP report that could replace a query?
Thanks in advance,
Manoj

Hi,
A report is a piece of logic that you write in (this case) in a programming language (ABAP). It uses the syntax of the normal commands of the PL.
ABAP Query is a higher level tool, that reduces or eliminates the need to "program" in the PL, and rather uses more intuitive, graphic tools, to basically get the same results.
Generally speaking, if the reporting needs are simple and standard, it is easy and feasible to use the query. The more complex the logic gets, the more you'll probably need to use programming.

Mario

Questions on Named Query

We have a few questions about named query.
According to the Toplink documentation, we can register the named query in 2 places.
1. Register the name query in the query manager in a Session level - The documentation said that these are for GLOBAL queries.
2. Register the name query in the query manager in a Descriptor level. These Descriptor level query can be defined via the Toplink workbench or defind via Java code and load in the Descriptor via a post-project load amendment method. The documentation also mentioned that once the project is login, we cannot add named query to the descriptor.
We have a few questions.
All querys are related to a class, so what do we mean by GLOBAL queries ? What is this GLOBAL means.
Is there any restriction in adding query to a session. Can we add query to a session after the session is login ?
What we like to achieve is something like this.
Ask the session for a query findElectionByEmployee, if nothing returns, construct the query, add this named query to the session.
Can we ask a clientSession for a query using getQuery(string)?
Or we can only ask a serverSession for a query ?
How about adding query to a session, can a clientSession add a query back to the parent ServerSession, or we need to add the query directly to a serverSession ?
We have hundreds of queries, not all of them used all the time, so adding the query to the session on demand, or Just in Time addition, will be most memory saving rather than starting the system with hundreds of query.
Another issue we have about using descriptor based query, specially those that is define via the toplink workbench, is that it create sort of an administrative single point of entry. For a system that have a lot of query, to single file the creation of the query to a single person, or a few people, can be administratively difficult, even though we appreciate the central and single point of control aspect of it.
So what is your observation in the use of named queries with your other clients ?
Is that a popular feature that your customer use ? Do they like to define the query in Workbench, can this solution administratively scale ?
Do you see just in time add of query to a session, if that is all possible.
Currently we have a simple query mechanism, each DAO method eg findElectionByEmployee, will contruct the query, with the expression builder, expressions etc and after one execution, throw that away and redo the same thing again in the next method invocation.
We want to avoid that but we do not want to centralized the definition to a central Toplink Mapping person. For a fairlt big system like ours, that have 20-30 DAO with hundreds of finder methods, it is too difficult to centralized.
What is your thoughts on this and if there is any white paper of best practice that you can point us to, we be most appreciated.

In answer to your technical questions, the only difference between descriptor level named queries and session level named queries is where the query is stored. Queries stored at the session level must have unique signatures, queries stored in the descriptor require unique signatures from other queries on the same descriptor but not queries on other descriptors or sessions.
Queries at the session level can be on any class, queries at the descriptor level must on that descriptor's class.
A ServerSession's query can be found from a ClientSession but queries added to a ClientSession will only be available to that ClientSession and will dispose when the ClientSession is released.
As to the questions about manageability it really is up to you to evaluate. If it is important to your organization that queries are moderated centrally then controlling them at the project level would provide for that. If that is not an important requirement then moving to a dynamic model would be less overhead, and headaches of having numerous people working on the source to and redeploying the same application repeatedly. But in general a combination of the two approaches, based on how often a particular query is used, would probably be best.

ABAP query question on drill down

I want to be able to drill into a sales order listed in a sales abap query. I thought I read somewhere that you can turn on something to make this query interactive but I cannot put my fingers on that. Any help?
Thanks so much!
Susan

Hi Susan,
To use RRI in ALV mode, you'll have to follow indications in SAP note 675546 - ALV-RepRep: Report-report interface.
Other information are also give in notes 50629 - ABAP/4 query: Report-Report-Interface, and 174365 - ABAP query: Report/report interface call in ALV

PNPCE in ABAP Query(SQ01) Selection is not working completely

Hi All,
I have developed an ABAP query using LDB PNPCE. I am reading data from IT000,IT0001 etc . I test the query in QA and I noticed that the PNCPCE screen doesnt care about the selection in query. Like I have given the date range in PNCPE default screen. But its not filtering that data at all. It pulling up the employees regardless of date, it behaves the same for field action type (P0000-MASSn). The surprising thing is that for company code its working fine. My question is that Why PNPCE standard screen-selection not filtering data in ABAP query.
Did any one of you also experience that?
FYI
I also find an OSS note # 730005 but we are already on 52 Patch !!
OSS note :PNPCE: Incorrect data of infotype 0000 and 0001
Symptom
When you carry out a reprot which is based on logical database PNPCE, errors occur during the processing of infotypes 0000 and 0001.
Other terms
PNPCE, AS PERSON, P0000, P0001, data selection period, person selection period, CHECK_IT_0000_DATA_RESTRICTED, CHECK_IT_0001_DATA_RESTRICTED
Reason and Prerequisites
You start a report which is based on logical database PNPCE. In the report, infotype 0000 or 0001 is processed (that is, it was declared via the INFOTYPES statement). At event 'GET GROUP' or 'GET PERAS', the system either returns too few data records in the infotype tables or it returns data records twice.
The error (missing data records) has only occured since the implementation of Note 687004 or the import of Support Package SAPKE47028.
Solution
Implement the attached corrections. or import the corresponding Support Package.
Thanks,
Saquib Khan

Hi Saquib,
Recently i am facing the same issue can u pls do reply how you have overcome this issue..The data is not getting picked up at the right time it is lately picked up by the program . Earlier it was PNP and it has been changed to PNPCE also we had implemented OSS Note 687004 and the later's Notes were also implemented but still now we are unable to track down why there is delay in picking up the records this has been happening for the past 8-10 Months(i m not sure far more before). I am finding 2 main issues,
1. we are using GET peras in PNPCE and no other event after that may be this is not fetching all the data because my selection screen does contain PERSONID where i suppose there should be GET PERSON event to define it
2. RP_READ_INFOTYPE macro while using for P0000 ,, the code in the macro is such that it fetches using P0001 also ...I suppose if there are any inconsistency between IT0 and IT1 then this might one to take care ...
kindly let me know how you have approached to resolve this issue.

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.

Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

Getting error while assigning ABAP Query to Tr.Code

Hi Guys,
There is a problem iam facing with ABAP query while transporting which need to solved asap. It will very greatfull if u guys can resolve this problem.
My problem is, I created one ABAP Query with Name ASSETOVERVIEW. I had transported this even, now when iam going to assign it to one transaction code with se93 lets say ZAOR. I need to give its description and program name in se93 right. now my question is what is program name i need to give in se93. Bcoz in SQ01 where i created the query, there is no name as 'program name' rather there is 'Name' in that we will create the query name i.e, ASSETOVERVIEW. In se93 u give tr.code and when u see down there will be radiobuttons in 'start object',in that i had checked program and selection screen (report transaction) is this right button i had checked or any other i need to check?. I had assigned this name i.e,ASSETOVERVIEW and development class and then when i check the name for syntax check its giving "'ASSETOVERVIEW' does not exist". I don't understand what program name i need to give.
If u guys can help me out with this problem it will be very much appreciable and definetly can get the reward points.
Thanks for as usual help in advance.
Regards.

Hi omer,
1. Just run the query.
2. one selection screen will come
3. then using SYSTEM---->STATUS, (from menu)
look for the program name
4. the program name will be something wired foramt.
/asdfasdf/asdfdas etc.
5. Give that name in se93.

amit m.

Creation of ABAP query

Dear All,
This may be a technical question. I am trying to create the ABAP query by using 2 tables. Went to SQ02, entered the description of Infoset and given the first table name in the "Table join in the basis table" row. When i entered to type the second table name, the program is getting terminated. (If I want to create a query by using one table, then the system accepts)
If possible, can anybody explain me what could be the proble,?
Regards

Few Questions on interfaces...

Hi all,
I have a few questions on interfaces...can any one provide the solutions for these please..
- What are physical and logical file paths and names.
- how do we recognize whether the files are stored in Application server or presentation server
- What are external system id's and where are they used.
- How to access application server.
And can any provide the detailed flow of a interface with the ABAP terminology.
Thanks
Zaf

Zafeer,
Physical path is actual path of machine eg.
192.156.121.12
Logical path is logical name attahced to it. eg FileServer.
When u create file port u will refer to logical path which in turn will refer to physical path.
If ur physical path is pointing to application server then its application else it will be to presentation server. It can be determined only looing at address mentioned in physical path.
External systems id...?
I didnt get this question. Probably it is IP of external machine in context of physical n logical path.
To access application server, u create one folder on application server & share it. U can ask basis guys to do it for u.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Sushil

Performance of ABAP query program

Hi All,
A custom program AQNWZ_TALAT=====TCS_AP_ITEMS== is taking lot of time running. And when checked the cost of the select statement is very high.
I guessed it must be some custom abap query. Correct me if I am wrong.
Also please let me know how to do the performance tuning on this code? Should I be editing the program directly or should I edit at the abap query level.

Pooja

>A few tips you can use for finetuning a Report
The actually a good collection of the most important pain points. But the recommendations are unfortunately quite poor, and even wrong. I have updated them a little bit.
And for German speaking people I have added a reference to a textbook, where arll my recommendations are explained in detail.
Siegfried
1) Use mostly primary key to access data.
... nonsense, the task determines the WHERE clause, it is not your choice
2) Before READ u sort the itab
No
3) use mostly the indexes fields in ur where clause.
... as 1, it is the other way, the task determines the WHERE-clause, make surwe that there is an index which
supports it
4) Restrict the the fields retrieved by your select sentences to the minimal set. (Avoid select *)
nonsense, most SELECT use and must use *, use field list in wide tables
5) try to use specify where clause so the abap sql optimizer chooses the right index.
o.k., but who understands that in depth?
6) Avoid sentences like select lifnr name1 into corresponding fields of lfa1 from lfa1 where....
feel free to use if required
(You should declare a working area and select into the working area, is twice faster)
... such general statements are always incorrect
7) use hashed tables instead of standard tables. They are faster
no, use sorted tables, hashed are very special and can only be used if there is a unique key
8) avoid the use of collect as much as you can.
total nonsense, use collect with hashed tables, works perfect, if you use it with standard tables, do not mix it with other statements
1 Always check the driver internal tables is not empty , while using FOR ALL ENTRIES
100% correct
2 Avoid for all entries in JOINS
... not generally true
3 Try to avoid joins and use FOR ALL ENTRIES.
... hmmm, there are pages of discussions, this statement was wrong, is wrong and will be wrong!!!
4 Try to restrict the joins to 1 level only ie only for 2 tables
nonsense, joins are complicated, you must know hw indexes are used, if everything is fine, then 10 or 20 tables can be joined
5 Avoid using Select *.
see 4)
6 Avoid having multiple Selects from the same table in the same object.
... try to avoid to SELECT the same data, different criteria can be necessary
7 Try to minimize the number of variables to save memory.
... obvious,
8 The sequence of fields in 'where clause' must be as per primary/secondary index ( if any)
... no is must not the optimizer will not be influenced be the order , but do it, it increases readability
9 Avoid creation of index as far as possible
... no, o.k. if you are not experienced than avoid ... otherwise the creation of the required indexes is absolutely mandatory for new tables, for SAP standard tables most indexes are already there. But still if very new accesses are added, then new indexes can become necessary.
10 Avoid operators like , > , < & like % in where clause conditions
... no, you must add them, but be aware that the search is only poorly supported by them, but the result set is reduced.
11 Avoid select/select single statements in loops.
... if they are going to the database! If the tables are buffered, then these statements are perfect!
12 Try to use 'binary search' in READ internal table. Ensure table is sorted before using BINARY SEARCH.
.... Actually try to avoid standard tables, use sorted tables instead. If you must use a standard table, than the recommendation is true.
13 Avoid using aggregate functions (SUM, MAX etc) in selects ( GROUP BY , HAVING,)
.... no, use them if required. Again, if table is buffered, then they MUST be avoided.
14 Avoid using ORDER BY in selects
... if it is not ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY. Again, if the table is buffered, then other orders MUST be avoided.
15 Avoid Nested Selects
... use join. Again, if the tables are buffered, then Nested SELECTs are fine!
16 Avoid Nested Loops of Internal Tables
.... impossible, there is no other option. Use sorted tables and verything is fine!
17 Try to use FIELD SYMBOLS.
... what means try? Use ASSIGNING fieldsymbol in LOOPs, but use it in READs only for very wide tables (>1kB). Use it always for tables with tables in the workarea!
18 Try to avoid into Corresponding Fields of
... see 6) is wrong!
19 Avoid using Select Distinct, Use DELETE ADJACENT.
.... no, use it if required and if it can reduce the result set by a factor of 2 or more. Again, if table is buffered, then it MUST be avoided.
