Can't add Characteristic to Selection - BEx 3.5 Query Designer on 7.0

Hi Gang,
Strange problem. I am attempting to add a characteric to a selection in a BEx 3.5 Query. We use a BW 7.0 backend.
However, in Edit Selection, I am unable to drag and drop the characteristic from the left pane to the right one. No error message is displayed, but the mouse arrow changes to the circle and slash "forbidden" icon.
The characteristic is NOT already in the selection.
Without an error, it hard to research the problem.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
  Whether the Query is opened in change mode and also check whether you are trying to use any display attribute

  • Broadcasting to Enterprise Portal using Bex Broadcaster from Query Designer

    I have already been able to broadcast from Query Designer using BEx Broadcaster to the portal based on a role or a user.
    I select "Export into Enterprise Portal" as the Distribution Type. 
    I then select "Export Document to Personal Portfolio" and then enter a role.
    Then I check "User-specific" because I want it to be user specific.
    This all works fine. 
    Now I get to my question.
    Can I go one step further and broadcast to a folder call... lets say "Sales" inside of their Personal Portfolio?

    Hi Eric,
    I have the same problem. Were you able to resolve it?

  • Can't see 7.x Variable in 3.5 Query Designer

    Hi, I created a BEx Variable on one of my characteristics in the 7.x Query Designer and cannot see this same variable in the 3.5 Query Designer.
    Does anyone know if this is a known limitation?
    Thanks!

    Variables are not version specific. Variables created in any version are visible in both 3.5 and 7.x query designers. In 7.x query designer when you create a variable it allows you to select the InfoObject the variable should be associated with. For example if you have an InfoObject that has a reference InfoObject, then a variable created on this InfoObject is not visible on the reference InfoObject. I think variables created on navigational attributes also show different behavior, unless you select the base Infoobject as the reference Infoobject for the variable. With 3.x the InfoObject to which variable is attached behaves differently.
    If you try to create a new variable with the same technical name as the one you created in 7x, you will get the message that the variable already exists. Check the reference infoobject for the variable you created in 7.0 and that may help you. You might want to check out the details of the variable in RSZGLOBV table for any clues.
    Thanks

  • Bex Analyser vs query designer

    Gurus,
    1. Can some one enlighten me on the functionality of Analyser vs Query designer?
    2. We have installed NW2004s (BI7) with the standard Business content. I want to see the data along with the graphs when I execute the queries.
    I am able to create new web templates (using WAD) and use them in the EP, but do the standard reports (SAP delivered) have web templated assigned for them? How to activate them if this is the case.
    I am able to see some charts when I open the same query using the analyser.
    Please suggest any relevant documentation for me to read and understand.
    Thanks.

  • Can I apply Sort on 2 different Fields in Query Designer in SAP BI

    Hi Experts,
    I have a report 'Employee Education Report' where I have to apply 2 sorts .First sort has to be applied for 'Employee Name' so that employees are sorted from A-Z in ascending order and the second sort has to be applied on 'Education Completion Date' so that for each Employee we get the lastest completed degree at the top for each employee.

    Hi Jyoti,
    Yeah, I think that can be done in the DISPLAY tab of query designer..Did you try it?
    First, click the Employee Name field..In the DISPLAY tab choose the field in SORT CHARACTERISTIC, SORT BY, and SORT DIRECTION..
    Do the same for Education Completion Date field..

  • 'Add Edit' aka cut/slice/split function working differently in CC.  Can't add to tracks selected on left pane (v1, v2, etc).

    I've noticed that the 'Add edit' aka cut, slice, split function of PP CC no longer adds the edit to the clips selected in the left pane (v1, v2, etc).  Instead I have to highlight the actual clips on the timeline before cutting them.  This is inefficient and not how Premiere Pro has functioned since I started using it years ago.  Is there a workaround for this?  I tried locking the tracks I don't want cut and doing an 'Add Edit to all' but there is a half second to second delay using that method which slows down my editing.

    In version 7.2.2, the keyboard shortcut works on all targeted tracks when no clips are selected, and on selected clips without regard to targeting.  This gives the best of all possible scenarios.
    The tool (C) cuts on the clips you apply it to, without regard to targeting.

  • Errors in BeX Analyzer and Query Designer NW2004S

    Hi All, these are the problems -
    1) We have installed the FrontEnd and applied SP 1. But when I am trying to
    use the Analyzer, the Menu Options are not working. Please give us a
    solution to this problem.
    2) In Query Designer, when we do drag and drop, the query designer hangs and we need to close the query designer .
    3) In Query Designer, if we try to make some changes to an existing query and try to save
    we have the following error message -
    'Terminate - The system tried to insert a data record, even though a
    data record with the same primary key already exists.
    Terminate - Program error is class SAPMSSY1 method: UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION'
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • How to Add a Variable created in New Query Designer

    Friends
    i am able to create variable on a char and i am unable to attach it to it.
    Any specific options that i need to set it so that i get the selection screen.
    Regards
    Vijay

    Hello Vijay,
       From where are are trying to use the variable and what type of variable you created?
    For characteristic variables,
    In BW 3.x front-end, you can right click on the characteristic name and select "restrict". This will pop-up a window. Choose variables tab and select the variable from there.
    In NW 2004s front-end, you can do this only from Filter tab page in query designer
    not from Rows/columns and free characteristics.
    You can do the same procedure in "Global Filter" or "Default values" area and attach the variable.

  • Authorization in BEx Query Designer: "read only" for definitions of variables

    Hello,
    I`m developing a concept of authorizations for key user who should be able to maintain certain
    objects in the query designer. For other objects they should have access “read only”.
    The users have authorizations  to  design new queries.  They should be able to use existing variables
    (SAP Business Content ( 0*) and customer variables (z*). On this point, I have a problem: in the selection window of the query designer there are only buttons to create, to delete and to edit a variable.
    The user must have authorizations for changing, although he just wants to look for the definition
    of a variable (if he wants to see their basic or global settings before using the variable).
    I can´t find a possibility to switch from “edit” to “read only”.
    The users should only see and apply variables from others (SAP, collegues), but he mustn´t be able to
    change them.
    The user needs the following authorization objects:  S_RS_COMP , activity =02 (change), also
    authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If I give the users only activity 03 (display),
    the user get the message: “display not allowed”.
    Is there any possibility to give a key user the authorization to display all variables with
    their definitions?
    Best regards
    Ricarda Seyb

    Hi raghukan,
    This is may be due to the authorization but still you can check the consistency check for these queries using RSRV.

  • BW 3.5, BEx Query designer issue with text of the characteristics

    Hi All,
    We are currently using BEx 3.5 Query Designer to design the queries. We have one of the ODS on which we are querying for.
    We have 3 different types of Customer in this ODS. 0Customer, 0BBP_CUSTOMER and 0GN_CUSTOMER. The problem is when we open this ODS in Query designer we see their text name on the left hand side column where it shows data fields as the same text name Customer.
    Now the our Power users have raised the issue that it is very confusing even when there are 3 different technical names for these characteristics.
    2 Questions I have.
    1) Why is something like this happening? is it some issue with the Patch or something. We will be migrating to new BI soon but in the mean time if I could resolve it that will be the best. Or does it even get resolved with new BI???
    2) what is the way in which we can resolve it?
    Thanks in advance and points will be given generously.

    HI BI Consul!
    Things like this happen, when it is called customer it could be different customers, 0customer is the standard R/3 customer and 0BBP_customer is objects from CRM and most likely 0GN_Customer might be customer from different system.
    Sure, power users should be told which customer is customer and you could also change the discription of the object, to match the definition on the other system. You could also just create z object and replace the existing confusing object with something meaningful to users.
    thanks.

  • I need use conditions in the select fields of a query.

    Hello,
    Is possible, that I can have conditions in the select fields of a query? In a invoice when the type is cancellation I want to put *-1 to price and if is other type the price is normally.
    If VBRK.FKART = 'S1' THEN KWERT*-1 else KWERT .
    Thank you very much.

    you can do two things:
    1. select the data into internal table and loop through the internal table and do the necessary changes
    SELECT fkart kwert
    FROM vbrk
    INTO TABLE itab
    WHERE ...
    LOOP AT itab.
    IF itab-fkart EQ 'S1'.
    itab-kwert = itab-kwert * -1 .
    MODIFY itab.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    2. use select-endselect and change the data acc. to your needs inbetween and append the internal table.
    SELECT fkart kwert
    FROM vbrk
    INTO wa
    WHERE ...
    IF wa-fkart EQ 'S1'.
    wa-kwert = wa-kwert * -1 .
    ENDIF.
    APPEND wa TO itab.
    ENDSELECT.
    (The first approach is probably faster.)
