Parallel Refresh queries in a workbook with BI7.0

Hi Experts,
could somone tell me if is it possible to refresh IN PARALLEL all the queries in a workbook with 7.0 version? are there any differences from 3.5 Bex version from this point of view?
This kind of option would be very usefull for long run queries and/or big ammount of queries collected in a workbook.
I would be really grateful if you can give me link to documentation on this point.
Thanks very much
Best Regards
Filippo Corvi

Hi
You are correct, if we put the big queries in a workbook it would be a performance issue.
I have to check the option of refreshing the queries parallely.
But you can try one option, the workbooks are also refreshed in Precalculation Server. If you can schedule that then the users would not have a problem. May be I am wrong in this option. But it would be like refreshing the statistics before using them.
If you can tryout, this is the help

Also this is one more option, but I had not tried out

How to embed multiple queries in single workbook

Hi,
I am working in BI 7.0 environment. My requirement is
1) I have 6 different SD queries.
2) I need to create workbook out of each query.
3) I need to embed workbook created from each query into a single work book (each worksheet in workbook should have workbook created from 1single query).
This way the final workbook will have six work sheets with six different queries (all saved as workbooks).
Can anyone please give me an idea to create the workbook.
We are latest version of Excel.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Padma,
You can embed multiple queries in a workbook.Please follow below steps.
1. Open the query in a Bex analyzer (first query)
2. Go to second tab and select a cell and insert anlaysis item (second icon on the Bex Toolbar)
3. Right click and assign query to the data provider.
4. Goto next tab and insert analysis item for third query . Similarly you can insert many queries but embedding multiple queries will degrade performace.
5. Goto workbook settings (last icon in Bex tool bar) for workbook properties like refresh workbook on open. pop up variable screen on refresh etc.
Also please go thru below links .

Max. number of queries in one workbook

Hello experts,
is there a mximum number of queries which can be embedded in one workbook?
What are the disadvantages of using many queries in one workbook.
Are there other disadvantages for input ready queries?
Thank you
Johannes

Johannes, to follow up on Rakesh' answer, your performance will depend on the amount of data you are pulling out with the queries.
as for the additional disadvantages - unless you use the BExGetData formula, formatting will be your primary issue. Also, when you create buttons for the input ready query, the only time you get to set what Data Provider you are using is when you first code the button. After that, you would need to recreate the button to ensure that you are pointing to the right query.
the advantages are that you can model your reporting requirements any way you want (for example we use two multiproviders with different characteristics and use 6 queries to pull the data out)

Need Different Selection screen for different Queries in a Workbook

Hi,
I have created a workbook with Multiple tabs in BI 7.0. Each Tab has different Queries and each query has different Selection screens (Variable Selections).
When i open the workbook and refresh it, the selection screen is appearing only for one query. All the queries are refreshed by this single selection screen, though each query has different Variable selections. What i need is a seperate selection screen i.e seperate Variable selection appearing for each queries, when i refresh each one of them.
Is it possible to do this? If anybody has tried this, help me in solving this issue. Thanks for ur time.
Regards,
Murali

Murali,
If you un-check the 'Display Duplicate Variables Only Once' this WILL solve your problem.
When you Refresh, you should be presented with a single variable selection dialog box, but it should contain an area for each Query (DataProvider) that is embedded in the Workbook.
This is the case if the queries are all on the same tab, or on different tabs.
However, if you have multiple tabs each with a query on it, each query must have it's own DataProvider. If all queries are based on the same DataProvider, it will not work as the Workbook only 'sees' one Query for which it needs variable input.
If you REALLY want multiple variable selection dialog boxes, then maybe the best way to do this is to have the queries in separate Workbooks.
If you don't want the User to have to open 5 queries manually, you could use a Macro in each Workbook that runs on opening, to open the next Workbook in the sequence.
I hope this makes sense!

Steve

How to run multiple queries in a workbook

Hi,
I have 3 queries in a workbook with the same variables. How can I refresh all the 3 queries when I change the variable value. It allows me to refresh only one query at a time but I need to refresh all the 3 queries at once whenever variable value changes.
Thanks,

Prakash,
Do you have any more information on where i would find the setting to;
"Refresh individual queries within a workbook (Single DataProviderRefresh)"

Problem with the workbook after upgrade

Hi all,
We are facing some problems with the workbooks after BW 3.5 Upgrade.e.g. some templates are disturbed, some variables have been affected. So I have few doubts --
1. What could be the possible reason behind this?
2. What exactly got changed in the system which reflected this problems?
3. What other problems might have occurred which we may not have noticed?
4. How can I find out the number of workbooks affected due to this?

Dear ,

Queries Published to Workbook Roles

Hello Gurus,
I need some advice on this particular situation.
I currently have users in our BI systems (BI 7.0) that are assigned to roles specifically for workbooks to use with the BEX analyzer. In this case there are users who can publish queries to workbooks for anyone to use (as long as they're assigned to the workbook role).
Note: To be specific, our business users do not create queries in production, but simply create a view of an existing query and make changes based on their specific need, which then can be saved to a workbook.
In the past we had workbook roles transported (in error) to production from development, which overwritten the queries published to the workbook in production. Updates to the workbook roles were only being made in production, so when the roles came over from DEV it wiped the queries that were created by the end users. Iu2019m currently in the process on re-structuring the role authorization concept in our BI system and would like to incorporate workbook authorization to one role (role based security) instead of having multiple on-off roles for workbooks. Having one role means Iu2019ll need to work in DEV and push the changes to production, however with the workbook situation if any queries have been published to the one role it will be wiped every time a transport goes into production.
I would like to the following:
1. Is there an alternative method to running queries without utilizing workbooks?
2. What would be the best scenario or best practice when publishing queries to workbook roles?
Regards,
Wes

Wes:
User cannot see favorites of another user in BEx Analyzer.
Instead of saving a workbook to the role and risk having it overwritten the next time the role is transported, your users could save their changes as a view ('save view global' option). They will not be prompted to save as a favorite or in a role - it inherits whatever role the query is in and will not be overwritten if that role is transported.
Keep in mind that things like query properties set in the view are not retained like they are with a workbook, however. The view stores the navigation state, variable values, etc.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Kerry

2 Queries within 1 workbook in BEx BI7.0

Hi Experts,
I know that there is a new method of creating a workbooks in BI7.0 using the Design Mode.
Suppose I have put 2 queries within 1 sheet in excel (one on top of the other). I did this by inserting 2 analysis grids within the same worksheet.
When I try to drill down the query on top, the area it occupies expands and completely overwrites the query at the bottom. As such, the bottom query disappears.
Is there a setting somewhere which will make the system adjust the position of the query at the bottom in this scenario?
I remember that with 3.x, when you insert 2 queries within the same worksheet in the workbook and you try to do a drilldown, the system would ask if you want it to overwrite or adjust the affected query area.
I am trying to look for the same functionality in BI7.0 workbook creation.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Multiple Queries in a workbook

Hi Gurus
If we have multiple queries in a workbook in 3.5 version and when we upgrade it to BI 7.0 version the data got overwrited........ (I heard this scenario from my friend)
But how to solve this kind of scenario. Does scrolling option works... Please give me some suggestion how to solve this kind of issue
Regards
Naga

A 3.x workbook when opened in 7.0 works fine except for some issues. Variables are shown in text element of 3.x workbook , when this workbook is opened in 7.0 the variables are also shown. By design text element does not show variables except for text variables. There are issues like flickering of workbook when opening the 3.x workbook in 7.0. Variants from 3.x are not imported in 7.0.

How to know no. of queries in a workbook?

Hi,
Is there any way to know the Number of queries in a workbook in a simple way?
Why i am asking is, we have so many workbooks with too many worksheets ( some are queries and some of them are graphical representaions of the query results). and to know how many queries are in a workbook by checking manually is quite a task.
and i need to adjust the year filters to the new year in all the queries and we have lot of workbooks as well.
if i can know the number of queries contained in the workbooks , my job is much easier
Raj

Hi,
goto the metadata repository, search for your workbook and you get a list of all queries contained in that workbook.

How to save 2 queries in 1 workbook

Hi experts,
could you tell me in steps how to save two queries in one workbook.
Regards.
harry

Hi Harry,
After creating a query you can execute the query. Once the result is displayed you have the option of saving it as a workbook. using that you can save it as workbook. Once it is saved as workbook you can run it and the result is displayed in one sheet. Go to another sheet and use the option insert query in the workbook to insert new query. So you will have a workbook with 2 queries now. Futher if youwant to interpret the data of the 2 queries ina fresh sheet in the same workbook you can use cell references and hide the other 2 sheets.
i hope this will help you.

Refrsh individual queries within a workbook

Dear Experts,
We have implemented Enhancement package 1 SP-04 in our BI system.
1 of the new functionalities provided with this upgrade was
" Single dataprovider refresh is possible , vs a Global refresh of all the queries in the workbook "
But we can not see any such option in workbook setting.
It would be of great help if you can provide in your valuable inputs to solve this issue.
Regards
Vaibhav Halde

Hi Chandrashekhar,
Thank you for your input.
It will surely work if you refresh query Q2 and not query Q1.
Our issue is that along with enhancement package 1 SP04 we should have got a new check box on general tab in a workbook setting.
Initially...workbook setting-general tab - there was a check box - Refresh workbook on open
after upgrade there should have been a new check box : Refresh individual dataprovider
but that is not the case.
We want to know reason behind this ?
or
Does this functionality really come along with EHP1 SP04 or with any other support package?
Regards

Group by with outer join

Thanks for reading this post.

The problem that you described is simple. The outer join duplicates all the rows from the parent table (complaint). If you want to sum a column from the parent table, then this sum includes all the duplicated rows.
There are several solutions for this problem.
A) One had been shown already by Cenutil. Instead of doing an outer join, you can do a subquery in the select clause that delivers the additional information from the detail table.
SQL> select reason,
   sum(total),
   sum((select count(*) from complaintroll cr where c.cno=cr.cno)) cnt_rolls
from complaint c
group by c.reason;
REASON          SUM(TOTAL) CNT_ROLLS
crea                   400          0
brst                   300          0
edge                   500          5b) sum in two steps. First sum and count including the join criteria, then use this information to calculate the correct total sum.
SQL> select reason, sum(stotal), sum(stotal/scount), sum(scount), sum(cnt_rolls)
2 from (select reason, sum(total) stotal, count(*) scount, count(cr.cno) cnt_rolls
3         from complaint c
4         left join complaintroll cr on c.cno=cr.cno
5         group by reason, c.cno
6         )
7   group by reason;
REASON          SUM(STOTAL) SUM(STOTAL/SCOUNT) SUM(SCOUNT) SUM(CNT_ROLLS)
crea                    400                400           1              0
brst                    300                300           1              0
edge                   1250                500           5              5
sql> c) another option is to do the left join, but do the aggregation only one time for the parent table. Analytic functions are helpful for that. However since analytic fuinctions can't be used inside an aggregation function, we would again need an inline view.
SQL> select reason, sum(case when rn = 1 then total end) sum_total, count(*), count(crcno)
2 from (select row_number() over (partition by c.reason order by c.cno) rn,
3                   c.*, cr.cno crcno
4         from complaint c
5         left join complaintroll cr on c.cno=cr.cno
6         )
7 group by reason;
REASON           SUM_TOTAL   COUNT(*) COUNT(CRCNO)
brst                   300          1            0
crea                   400          1            0
edge                   250          5            5
SQL> Edited by: Sven W. on Feb 10, 2011 1:00 PM - formatting + column added to 2nd option

Can anyone tell me WHY Oracle won't allow sub-queries in outer joins?

Hi,
I've recently been tasked with converting a series of InterBase dbs to Oracle.
Many of the queries in the InterBase dbs use sub-queries in outer joins. Oracle won't countenance this (01799 - a column may not be outer-joined to a subquery).
I can get around it using functions but WHY won't Oracle allow this?
SQL Server allows it, InterBase allows it (I don't know about ANSI SQL) but it seems to be a common enough technique...
I'm just curious (and also a little frustrated!).
Thanks in advance,,,

Hi,
>>Oracle treat an empty string as a NULL
Well, you same answer your question. Because it is empty
SGMS@ORACLE10> create table tab (cod number, name varchar2(1));
Table created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into tab values (1,'');
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into tab values (2,' ');
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> commit;
SGMS@ORACLE10> select cod,dump(name) from tab;
       COD DUMP(NAME)
         1 NULL
         2 Typ=1 Len=1: 32
SGMS@ORACLE10> select * from tab where name is null;
       COD NAME
         1Cheers
If you talking about language tools, for example PHP treat empty string <> of NULL values. e.g: functions like is_empty() and is_null()
