BW query tech name changes

Hello Experts,
I have crystal report created on top of BW query, the report works good, but some how its technical name is getting added 1 in the end,example : my query technical name is : FI_q01 but it got changed to FI_q01_1.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kirsh

Thanks Amit,
I am creating through file->new and connection type sap bw mdx query.
this is happening for some reports only.
Its adding 1 for all the objects:example sales document : its looking like sdq1_1.0doc_num instead of sd_q1.0doc_num , like this its doing for all the objects if the query technical name is changed to sd_q1_1 from sd_q1.
Also, another strange behavior is it is pulling technical name of one query and description of another query.
example: if i have a query on MM with name MM_q1 and description as material mgm and FI query as FI_q1 and description as Finance qry then its pulling for MM query as FI_q1 and description as material mgm instead of MM_q1.
Thanks,
Krish

SAP BW Query in CR2008: only tech names displayed when query is changed

Hello Experts,
we have the following constellation / problem:
SAP Query BW 7.0
a report built upon this query with Crystal Reports 2008
the report is currently not using any of the Database fields, is just consists of the layout
Now we want to change / add the underlying query. But either if we add the new query or replace the old query by the new query, the result is the same:
only the technical names of the query structures (UIDs) are shown, neither the descriptions nor the technical names (concerning SAP BW) are shown.
The 'new' query is a slightly changed copy of the old query, I don´t think that is has to do anything with the query.
As mentioned, everything seems to be perfect as long as we just do 'Create Report upon query', then the descriptions and technical names (not the UIDs) are shown, but not if we add / replace the existing query through another.
Many thanks for your help in advance !
Frank

So the solution seems to be:
Open the Query Designer and tick 'Allow External Access to this Query' on the Advanced Tab to allow access with OLE DB for OLAP to the query.
Then the query appears in Crystal Reports under the source system and 'Queries' whereas before it is only accessible directly under the source system.
If a query is accessible under the source system, the BW Query Driver is used, which seems not to be able to cope correctly with the technical names.
If accessed via 'Queries', the BW MDX Driver comes into action and not only the tech names but also the description etc. is displayed.

Mass Change of Query Technical Name

Hi there,
Is there a Functional Module/Program that allows a MASS Change of Query Technical Names ?
My company has recently revived new standards of naming convention, hence there is a need to change the technical names of about 2000 BW Queries ?
Please advice

I beleive you cannot change tech names, however u can copy to new ones using RSZC.
Lets wait for some experts replies....

Change of DTP tech name in transport causes error in Process chain

Hello people,
This message was posted before and I do not think there was an answer. I hope I have better luck.
When we transport DTP and process chain, the DTP tech name is changed in the target system while the DTP specified in the transported process chain remains as the source system. This causes an error in the process chain in the target system because it cannot recognise the DTP specified in it. To rectify it, I modify the process chain in the target system to point to the DTP with the new tech name. Is there another way such that I do not need to modify the target system.
I am currently trying to find an answer and I will share if I find one. Thanks.

Hello again,
My problem is resolved. I am in SP17 and I applied a few SP18 notes:
0001002791
0001077030
0001139653
0001147587
0001147766
I then re-transport the request with the DTP and process chain. The expected result is the dtp in the process chain should be pointing to the new dtp. CHeers.

Change Source system Tech.Name

Production : PRE -
> PRB
PRE-Production : PPE -
> PRE
We make a copy of our production BI to Preproduction BI (PPB) we follow note # 886102. We want to connect this system to our pre production ERP (PPE).We already run BDLS change the logical system name we created new RFC created which is pointed to new R3 system .Problem is when we are going to run Tcode RSA1 in source system it shows old Tech name PRE600. We are unable to activate the source system.
We can create new source system (PPE),but All our BI objects mapped with old source System (PRE600). I am afraid to change thousands of BI objects ( change source system from PRE600 to PPE600).
Is there any work around we can change the Logical Source system Tech.Name? or some batch job which change the source system name for all BI objects.
Appreciate your earliest reply.

External hard drive accidnetal name changed query

Soem time ago I noticed my permenently plugged in ext. HD name had changed. It was called something like 'Photos and Video', it's now called '**'. As in two stars. Maybe the cat walked over the keybord, it certainly wasn't an intentional change. That was a couple of months ago and all still works fine, haven't had a problem accessing my iPhoto libraries stored on there. My imovie projects are a bit dodgy though - the video clips are all stored on ext. drive). I can still kind of access them, but if I play a project I only hear the sound, unless I go to full screen and then I can see visuals as well. So looks like I've lost the ability to edit any projects created before the name change, (I have about 25 projects). I've only done one iMovie project since the name change, and won't need that any more.
But it's time to do a backup of the ExHD, and I use SuperDuper which does incremental back ups. Of course now the drive has a different name I don't think it will be able to do an incremental back up, will probably have to start afresh and do a completely new back up.
So, my questions are:
Should I change the name of the ext. drive to what it used to be (I think I can remember the name)? Then I think I will be able to do the incremental back up.
Will this then sort out the iMovie problem?
Or, will this throw up other problems, ie. I've been putting photos into iPhoto libraries on the HD whilst it's had it's new name and don't want to lose any of those.
Anyone who can throw a light on this I would be grateful.
Cheers!

Definitely change the name. The asterisk is actually a wild card character, so it isn't a good idea to leave them there. There shouldn't be any problems with changing the name.

SAP Variable Tech Name in MDX

Hi Friends,
I have a question related to SAP Variable usage in MDX statement.
I have a hierarchy node variable, which is mandatory and has a default value..
When technical name of this variable is something like ZXYZ_SM, it appears differently in MDX, as !V0000017..
Problem is, i have to use this variable in two seperate queries and this MDX technical name changes query to query..
Eg.: when it is !V0000017 in Query A, it is !V0000015 in Query B.. I need them to be identical across queries, because this is a global filter of a huge dashboard..
Can you please help me how to proceed? I need solution on Bex side..
Thanks in advance,
Sunil
====================================================
SAP Variable tech name needs to be shorter than 10 chars in order to be supported by MDX. So, changing variable name fixed the issue...
====================================
Edited by: SunilKmr on Nov 29, 2010 1:27 PM

What Rohit is trying to say is that the technical name of the BEX variables is not shown to an end user,
and also not used to combine user input, only the prompt text is.
(BTW, the technical name is determined by the position of the variable prompt in the BEX query,
so the first variable shown will be !V000001, the second !V000002, etc.
So in your case the order in the two BEX queries is different)
So if you have two BEX queries, this means two universes.
Now when you want to report data out of these two universes you will build a query in the WebI report on each universe.
Both queries will ask you for input for their respective BEX variables,
but to do that they using the prompt text, not the tech name.
By default this prompt text will be the name of the BEX variable,
but you can change the text in the universe without implications.
As long as the two prompt texts are the same for these two different tech name variables,
BO will give just one prompt and feed it to !V0000017 in the query on the universe for BEX query A
and !V0000015 in the query on the universe for BEX query B.
Hope this is clear enough,
Marianne

Hierarchy name changing in BI.

Hi experts,
We loaded hierarchies for 0costcenter from R/3 to BI.
But the technical name is getting changed when coming into BI.
Suppose if a hierarchy tech name in R/3 is ACCTS when refreshed in the infopackage the tech name is coming as SGCAACCTS.
Where SGCA is the controlling area. But the user is asking only ACCTS. In rsa3 in R/3 also it is displaying like SGCAACCTS only.
How to solve this ? I want only ACCTS in BI.
Regards,
Bhadri M.

This is because, 0CO_AREA is compound attribute to 0COSTCENTER... U can't avoid this at back end level.
U have to manipulate that in query designer level, so that user can see only ACCTS.
Check the following link....

Query View name not saved in "Analysis Grid Properties" under Data Provider

Hi BW World;)
We are on BI 7.0
I have created a BI workbook which contains a query view.
However when we go into design mode and then "analysis grid properties" for this query view then "change data provider" it does not show the query view name but the query name. (we have saved the workbook)
Is this the normal scenario?
Surely should show the "query view name " and not the "query name" as confuses what data provider is being used?
Is this a bug?
Best
Stevo.... Points of course... Thanks in advance.;)
Edited by: bw4eva999 on Sep 10, 2009 4:40 PM spelling

Hi,
You have created a workbook on top of a Query View which is again depends on a Query.Now the base for Query View is a Query.So the underlying Data Provider for a workbook is a Query.
Hence when you go to Properties of grid->Change Data Provider,it shows the Query and the InfoCube,but not the Query View.
So this is not a bug and this how its been designed.
If you click for the Information of that workbook,it will show the Query and Info Provider,but not the query View.
Though it looks like wierd,it is not a bug.

Displaying query view name in web template.

Hi all,
In the standard web template (0ANALYSIS_PATTERN) there is a text box which displays the query title. I need to change this so it displays the name of the query view instead of the query. Does anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks,
Nick.

Hi Nick,
In the template you need not to do any special setting for Query View Name display.
When You use a query view in template that becomes as a data provider, so for every data provider whether that's a query or query view it works same.
You can select to display query technical name or description.
Hope i understood your requirement correctly. If not than please correct me.
Thanks

Column name changed in reports

I have to do some changes on my existing report, its really a complex report with more number of columns and tables. now its really hard to fix the alias name changed by report builder automatically. any one could help me to fix this problem, means what i have alias name in query that i want to use in report.

Hi,
Could you pl clarify the Q? Do you mean that Reports Buider has automatically added an alias to a column name? This is not expected.
Or do you mean that you need to change the alias of the column without disturbing the report definition? You can alter the data model of the report using the feature "Customization at runtime using XML". For more information, refer to Chapter 16 in Publishing Reports Manual for 10g:

Transport of Query successful, but changes not appeared in the report

Hi All,
I have 2 Queries(Normal and Total stock reports on the same InfoProvider) in Prd.
For that User asked me to add one characteristic to Free characteristics.
I added one characteristic in Free Characteristics to both Queries in Dev and i collected the Transport requests for both the queries in RSA1->TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS and gave it to basis guy, he transported successfully to PRD and for both the reports the changes reflected in the
query designer, while executed the Normal stock report the characteristic added in free characteristics appeared and while drill down the data is coming, but for the Total stock report the changes appeared in Query designer but on executing the report even the characteristic added to Freecharacteristics is not appearing in Navigation Pane.
Also with the same technical name of total stock report there are 2 reports appearing in query designer. what to do now.
Help me here asap..
Thanks,
Chaitu.

Hi Chaithu,
As you mentioned that you can see 2 versions by the same technical name in designer for total stock report, it is highly probable that the query you are changing and the query you are executing are different.
2 versions of a query can exist with the same technical name as the system identifies the queries by their UIDs, which would be different for both these versions of queries.Following are the things you need to check:
1) In development system too, do you have 2 versions?
2) In production system, check the UID for both verions of the query
3) In Dev system, make sure you modify the query with UID which is being executed, if it is available there. Else, you need to replace the query in prod with the one you have in Dev system.
2 versions by same technical name can exist if:
1) Someone created a query directly in Prod, and transported a query by same technical name from Dev system
2) or due to system refresh, copy, etc.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Query - text name chnage

Hi I have a query wherein tables mast and stpo tables are used to extract data in the output.
In teh query output we are pulling in Material number for which I have used the function to get the material number along with its text . SO in the output I get both . The problem is that the heading for material number as well as the material text comes same as Material number and Text:material number. This second one for the descripition is coming automatically which I would liek to change to something different. Is there a possibility to change the description of this heading . I went into the query in teh change mode and looked fo rit but its greyed out and dosent give me otion to change.
Can anyone pls suggest how to go abt this.
Aarav

No its not the heading of teh field used in the query but its the text field which automatically had come in , but I found out the way to change it by going into the basic list tab and chaning it there , and it helped me, but there is nother factor in the query which is giving the problem . I have used a coding part in the query to extract the text. What this code dose is that when I enter the text language it runs through teh code and reads text and shows up in the output for that material and when its blank in teh selection for language it shows all the descriprtion . What I want it to do is when i select a language in teh selection screen for which theer is no text avaliable it showuldnt go to teh next screen but on the first screen itself at teh bottom give message as 'No data available or something like it , but right now its going to the output and showing teh text column as blank as no text available , instea like if I put spanish lanaguage in teh selection and since there is no text available in system , it should just give mesg that no data selected or soemting like it.
data: name3 type tdobname,
      language3 type spras,
      tlines3 type table of tline with header line.
language3 = sy-langu.
language3 = 'Z1'.
clear tdgtextz1.
name3 = mara-matnr.
if language3 = p_spras or p_spras = ' '.
call function 'READ_TEXT'
exporting
    id                            = 'PRUE'
    language                      = language3
    name                          = name3
    object                        = 'MATERIAL'
tables
    lines                         = tlines3
exceptions
    others                        = 1.
if sy-subrc = 0.
loop at tlines3.
    if sy-tabix = 1.
      tdgtextz1 = tlines3-tdline.
    else.
      concatenate tdgtextz1 tlines3-tdline into
          tdgtextz1 separated by space.
    endif.
endloop.
endif.
endif.
what should i be adding to it so that it performs the way I want.
Thanks
