Using index in ABAP

hi,
i've created a index key in BKPF for performance purpose, but i don't know how to call the index key in ABAP open SQL, Thanks.

Hi,
The code could be similar to the one below:
SELECT MBLNR MJAHR BUDAT1 ETIME WERKS FROM ZGEXIT INTO TABLE ITAB
   WHERE MBLNR in IMBLNR
     and MJAHR = IMJAHR
     and BUDAT1 IN S_BUDAT
     and WERKS = IWERKS.
Here MBLNR and MJAHR are the key fields.
Hope this helps.
Reward if helpful.
Regards,
Sipra

Unknown indexes in ABAP dictionary

Hi all,
can anyone help me with the procedure to handle unknown indexes in ABAP dictionary for a BW SAP_BW 350 Production system?
The list of some of the indexes are as follows :
/BI0/E0CCA_C11~P
/BI0/E0FIGL_C01~P
/BI0/E0OPA_C11~P
/BI0/E0PS_C04~P
/BIC/EIEFERC~P
Thanks a lot in advance ....

Hello Varsha,
It seems that the index for these InfoProviders are missing.
Goto RSRV -> Elementary Test -> Database -> Database Indices of an InfoCube and Its Aggregates
It should be green. If its red there will be a correct button on the top just excute it
or You can use the following Function Module to check
RSDU_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_CHECK
To Repair
RSDU_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_REPAIR
Thanks

Can we use Union in ABAP???

Can we use Union in ABAP???
I have scenario like,
in an internal table i have entrie like this,
comp code     field1       field2       field3        field4       field5
0A1                   ABC        BCD          00             00              00

0A1               ABC        BCD         CDE           EFG             IJK
how to do this????

You cannot use SELECT on internal tables so the question of UNION does not arise. Also, you cannot use UNION in ABAP. You need to code it to get the desired output
Move the first line of your internal table to a new int table i_ftab.
DATA: num TYPE char1.
num = 2.
DO.
    READ TABLE i_tab -> initial internal table
      INTO wa_tab INDEX num.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    IF wa_tab-code NE '000'.
      MODIFY i_ftab INDEX 1 FROM wa_tab TRANSPORTING code.
    ELSEIF wa_tab-field1 NE '000'.
      MODIFY i_ftab INDEX 1 FROM wa_tab TRANSPORTING field1.
    ENDIF.
    num = num + 1.
ENDDO.

Regarding how to use index , please give me some example if possible

Hello everybody:
       Thank you all for your help in advance .
       would you please tell me how to use index, please give me some example if possible. couldn't thank you more!
      best regards .
     Frank

Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
An index helps to speed up selection from the database. An index is a sorted copy of selected database table fields.
The primary index is always automatically created in an ABAP-based SAP system. It consists of the primary key fields of the database table. This means, for each combination of the index fields exists a maximum of one record in the table. This kind of index is called a UNIQUE index.
If the primary index cannot be used to determine selection result, (for example, the WHERE condition does not contain any primary index fields), the system searches the whole table. To prevent this, and determine the selection result by searching through a restricted number of database records, you can create a secondary index.
However, you should not define an index for all possible fields in the WHERE condition.
Check this thread..u have more details.
In which situation we can use the reading of index

About: how to abap index in abap program.

Dear expert,
I find a question that what's the meaing of these declaration "%_hints oracle 'INDEX(RESB"Z01")" in abap program.
Can you explain it to me?
Best wishes.
George shi

Hi,
this forces the oracle database to use index Z01 of table RESB when processing the select statement. If you do not add the hint, the optimizer of the database decides which index to pick. In some cases, the automatically chosen index is not the best one.
Please also refer to http://www.hotcoding.com/dbs/oracle/35430.html for a more detailed explanation.

Hi William
Nice...it works.. I have added "o_id" and "o_no" are in part of the index
and now the query uses the index
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=2 Card=8 Bytes=416)
1 0 UNION-ALL
2 1 INDEX (FULL SCAN) OF 'IDX_TEST_S_ID' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=4 Bytes=208)
3 1 INDEX (FULL SCAN) OF 'IDX_TEST_S_ID' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=4 Bytes=208)
Statistics
7 recursive calls
0 db block gets
21 consistent gets
0 physical reads
0 redo size
701 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
507 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
2 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
0 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
8 rows processed
But my questions are:
1) In a where clause, if "<>" condition is used, then, whether the system will use the index. Because I have observed in several situations even though the column in where clause is indexed, since the where condition is "like" or "is null/is not null"
then the index is not used. Same as like this, i assumed, if we use <> then indexes will not be used. Is it true?
2) Now, after adding "o_id" and "o_no" columns to the index, the Execution plan is:
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=2 Card=8 Bytes=416)
1 0 UNION-ALL
2 1 INDEX (FULL SCAN) OF 'IDX_TEST_S_ID' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=4 Bytes=208)
3 1 INDEX (FULL SCAN) OF 'IDX_TEST_S_ID' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=4 Bytes=208)
Before it was :
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=6 Card=8 Bytes=416)
1 0 UNION-ALL
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'TEST_TABLE' (TABLE) (Cost=3 Card=4 Bytes=208)
3 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'TEST_TABLE' (TABLE) (Cost=3 Card=4 Bytes=208)
Difference only in Cost (reduced), not in Card, Bytes.
Can you explain, how can i decide which makes the performace better (Cost / Card / Bytes). Full Scan / Range Scan?
On statistics also:
Before:
Statistics
52 recursive calls
0 db block gets
43 consistent gets
0 physical reads
0 redo size
701 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
507 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
2 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
0 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
8 rows processed
After:
Statistics
7 recursive calls
0 db block gets
21 consistent gets
0 physical reads
0 redo size
701 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
507 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
2 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
0 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
8 rows processed
Difference in recursive calls & consistent gets.
Which one shows the query with better performance?
Please explain..
Regards
Muthu

Using Index Vs dbms_stats.gather_table_stats

Hello All,
I would like to know in what situation would we benefit from using index and not analyse table as it takes time and in what situation analysing table is more beneficial then indexes.
I have a task which creates 14 tables CATS, 2nd table is depended on 1st table for eg create table as t2 as select * from t1 so on and so forth. I am indexing all the 14 tables and gathering statistics.. my colleague says that if tables are indexed then gathering statistics is not required. So table1 - table14 need not have gather statistics. This module is used for large volume of data extract.
My task is like
1. create table t1 as select * from <table_name>
create index
gather_table_stats
2. create table t2 as select * from t1
create index
gather_table_stats
3. create table t3 as select * from t2
create index
gather_table_stats

ANALYSE is done on a table to collect statistics of the table. CBO needs this information to get the best execution plan. INDEX is a data structure like your table. They help you in searching your data in your table in a faster way.
For the optimizer to use your INDEX you need to have statistics of your TABLE and INDEX collected.

This only means your colleague does not know about both INDEX and Statistics. And also how CBO works.

It has already been pointed out that the FTS is probably due to the OR whatever IS NULL predicates.
A hack that might/might not work - assuming indexes on the columns exist - is to use the syntax
--'' is an empty string, interpreted by Oracle as null
+column+ > ''A better way is to create a function-based index using NVL() or COALECSE on the affected column.

How can i use index in select query.. facing problem with the select query.

Hi Friends,
I am facing a serious problem in one of the select query. It is taking a lot of time to fetch data in Production Scenario.
Here is the query:
SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
    FROM ztftelat LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
     ON ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
     AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
     AND ztfzberepcntr = ztftelatrprctr
    WHERE rldnr = c_telstra_accounting
      AND rrcty = c_actual
      AND rvers = c_ver_001
      AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
      AND racct = st_input-saknr
      AND ryear = st_input-gjahr
      And rzzlstar in r_lstar
      AND rpmax = c_max_period.
There are 5 indices present for Table ZTFTELAT.
Indices of ZTFTELAT:
Name   Description
0        Primary key( RCLNT,RLDNR,RRCTY,RVERS,RYEAR,ROBJNR,SOBJNR,RTCUR,RUNIT,DRCRK,RPMAX)
005    Profit (RCLNT,RPRCTR)
1        Ledger, company code, account (RLDNR,RBUKRS, RACCT)
2        Ledger, company code, cost center (RLDNR, RBUKRS,RCNTR)
3        Account, cost center (RACCT,RCNTR)
4        RCLNT/RLDNR/RRCTY/RVERS/RYEAR/RZZAUFNR
Z01    Activity Type, Account (RZZLSTAR,RACCT)
Z02    RYEAR-RBUKRS- RZZZBER-RLDNR
Can anyone help me out why it is taking so much time and how we can reduce it ? and also tell me if I want to use index number 1 then how can I use?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shiva,
I am using two more select queries with the same manner ....
here are the other two select query :
***************1************************
SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
    FROM ztftelpt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
     ON ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
     AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
     AND ztfzberepcntr = ztftelptrprctr
    WHERE rldnr = c_telstra_projects
      AND rrcty = c_actual
      AND rvers = c_ver_001
      AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
      AND racct = st_input-saknr
      AND ryear = st_input-gjahr
      and rzzlstar in r_lstar
      AND rpmax = c_max_period.
and the second one is
*************************2************************
SELECT * APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE tbl_summary
    FROM ztftelnt LEFT JOIN ztfzberep
     ON ztfzberep~gjahr = st_input-gjahr
     AND ztfzberep~poper = st_input-poper
     AND ztfzberepcntr = ztftelntrprctr
    WHERE rldnr = c_telstra_networks
      AND rrcty = c_actual
      AND rvers = c_ver_001
      AND rbukrs = st_input-bukrs
      AND racct = st_input-saknr
      AND ryear = st_input-gjahr
      and rzzlstar in r_lstar
      AND rpmax = c_max_period.
for both the above table program is taking very less time .... although both the table used in above queries have similar amount of data. And i can not remove the APPENDING CORRESPONDING. because i have to append the data after fetching from the tables. if i will not use it will delete all the data fetched earlier.
Thanks on advanced......

Best way of Using Index on a Table.

I am trying to understand the phenomena of using INDEX on a Table
need some guidance!!!
Let us take this scenario
I have a table "MYRECORD" which has 4 attributes(or coulombs)
1. "STATE" (varchar) // this can have 49 different values like newyork, dehli etc
2. "YEAR" //a year like 2007
3. "MONTH" //a month like JAN,FEB etc
4. "CAT" (int) // type(category) of data represented by values 0 to 40
with a PRIMARY KEY(STATE,YEAR,MONTH,CAT)
now i will create index
1. INX_myrecord (STATE,YEAR,MONTH) on table MYRECORD
so now my question is
1. what is the effect on performance of DB it makes?
2. when I use a query
SELECT * FROM MYRECORD WHERE STATE="dehli" AND YEAR=2007 AND MONTH="JAN";
how will it get processed if index is created and not created.
3. how can I refer a index by name in a query if so possible?
Cheers,
UD

Now you have a primary key consisting of state, year, month and cat which makes an index on state, year and month useless as the already existing primary key can provide for retrieval of rows by index. If you don't have other columns - or just few other not being large varchar2 columns - you should have created the table as an IOT (Index Organized Table - avoiding to have separate table and index containing - nearly - the same data) in the first place.
As a primary key by definition can contain only unique non null values, a query like SELECT * FROM MYRECORD WHERE STATE='dehli' AND YEAR=2007 AND MONTH='JAN' cannot give you more than the number of distinct cat values (0 .. 40) + 1 (if cat can be null - presumed one/some of the corresponding state, year and month is not null)
The information processing depends principally of the query, the mere presence of an index does not make sure it will be used. If an index is used it means the index will be searched first then the table rows will be accessed by rowids contained in the index (usually a single row or a range of rows - a rather small number of them - is retrieved this way, your select for example). Submitting something like SELECT * FROM MYRECORD WHERE YEAR=2007 AND cat=33 would most likely produce a full table scan of myrecord table ignoring the primary key.

How come all these methods are deprecated...getEP5User
Also, since I am building a weddynpro DC, what is the proper way to include these jar files as Used DCs?
Now proceed in the same way with the variable PORTAL_HOME and add the following .jar files:
u2022 \lib\prtapi.jar The portal runtime APIs
u2022 \portalapps\com.sap.portal.usermanagement\lib\com.sap.security.api.ep5.jar The user management APIs of the Enterprise Portal 5.0 are deprecated, but still in use in SAP NetWeaver 04
u2022 \portalapps\com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf\lib\bc.rf.framework_api.jar KM Repository Framework APIs
u2022 \portalapps\com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf.service\lib\bc.rf.global.service.urlgenerator_api.jar Repository Framework Utility: URL Generator

Not Using Index on File Server When Accessing User Files Directly on Server

It appears to me that on a server with an indexed network share (Desktop Experience and Search Indexing roles/features installed), if you access the share directly on the server using its drive path, you can search the folders using the index, which
is much faster and supports finding words inside of the files in seconds). However, if you access the same shared folder via its network path from the server itself, the server ignores the index. I have this experience/problem across all shared folders on
the Windows 2012 R2 Server. Details and my most specific goal follows.
In addition to a laptop, I frequently work directly on a Windows Server 2012 R2 computer. We have Redirected Folders set up on DFS (for failover redundancy) so that my Documents folder is in:
\\network\redirections\user\documents. This all works fine on Windows 7 and 8 client computers connected to the network via Offline Files.
The problem is on the server itself. The server has Desktop Experience enabled and Windows Search is installed. If I navigate manually through the DFS root folder to my documents folder, I can search and it properly uses the index. This proves the location
is properly indexed. However, if I access the folders through the official "Documents" folder from the Folder Redirection (a network share pointing to the same server computer I'm working on), it performs an un-indexed search (slow and ignores file
contents, but does find files eventually if the search term is in their filename). Is there a way to force the server to use the indexed search on the Redirected Folders (my Documents folder in particular) when working on that server when logged in locally
on that server?
I suspect a workaround would be to go into the Registry and manually change the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders to point to the local DFS folder instead of the network share name, but at least one problem
with this is then if I save files with links to other files (e.g., a linked Excel table in a PowerPoint, a mail merge to Access database in Word, etc.) on the server computer, those links will point to d:\DFSroot\... (a physical drive on the computer) instead
of \\network\redirections\user\... (a universally accessible network path) and so none of the other computers will be able to find the linked files, defeating one of the
major benefits of using Redirected Folders.
I can't believe that I need to choose between indexed searching and proper path names in saved files. Surely there is a way to use an indexed search on the server itself?
If you need any more info to help me troubleshoot, please let me know.
Thanks for any help,
Colin

Hi Colin,
It seems that we can not use indexed search on DFS shares. Windows Search works well when users directly access the server. That is, the server is not made available through Distributed File System (DFS).
For more detailed information, you could refer to the links below:

Unknown indexes in ABAP dictionary for a BW SAP_BW 350 ?????????

Hi all,
can anyone help me with the procedure to handle unknown indexes in ABAP dictionary for a BW SAP_BW 350 Production system?
The list of some of the indexes are as follows :
/BI0/E0CCA_C11~P
/BI0/E0FIGL_C01~P
/BI0/E0OPA_C11~P
/BI0/E0PS_C04~P
/BIC/EIEFERC~P
Thanks a lot in advance ....

You should be able to delete and recreate indexes from the infocube performance tab, RSRV or DB02. The bigger question is why these e fact table indexes are not being handled properly. I would try searching OSS Notes to see if yo ufind one relevant for your DB;
This older Notes provides some good background
Note 594287 - DB6: Corrections to the primary index of fact tables
