Ad hoc query and Sap query

Hi all
What are Ad hod query and sap query? Why we use these two?
thanks and regards
Seenu

in order to get the reports as per the client requiremnt
we use the queries
and the the data from these queries will be taken form PNP logical data based tables
EX: in the standrad report for Absences
the client may ask for
PERNR NAME position Department Absence type start date Endate
in the standrad report u can get the PERNR and Absence type and start date and end date
but u cannot get position and department
so we use Queries we select the feidls from various reports and get a farmot as per the client reqiremnt
Check SQ01 02 03 tcoeds
u can alsoc check SQVI

Adhoc Query Vs SAP query

Hi friends,
Is there any difference between Adhoc query and SAP query.

ADHOC QUERY:-
Web item that enables you to create and change ad hoc queries in a Web application. You can use the Web item Ad-hoc Query Designer in the Web Application Designer to design Web applications in which you can create or change queries.
SAP QUERY:-
A tool that allows users who have no knowledge of the ABAP programming language to define and execute their own reports.
To determine the structure of reports in SAP Query, you just have to enter texts, and select fields and options. If necessary, you can edit lists using Drag&Drop and the functions in the available toolbars.

Difference between sap query and sap ad hoc query

Hello Experts-
Is there any difference between sap query and sap ad hoc query. If yes, I will appreciate if you can provide some input.
Thanks,

Hi,
SAP Query
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create reports not already contained in the default. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP.
SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reports and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
The SAP Query comprises five components: Queries, InfoSet Query, InfoSets, User Groups and Translation/Query.
Classic reporting- the creation of lists, statistics and ranked lists- are covered by the InfoSet Query and Queries components. Other components range of functions cover the maintenance of InfoSets, the administration of user groups and also the translation of texts created in the SAP Query.
All data required by a user for a report can be read from various tables.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. In the WYSIWYG mode, you can edit the lists using Drag & Drop and various toolbars.
AD Hoc Query
Definition
A Web item that enables you to create and change queries in a Web application on an ad-hoc basis.
Use
You can use the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item in the Web Application Designer to structure Web applications in which you create or change queries. The Web item is as a tool for designing ad-hoc queries in a Web environment.
In particular it enables you to:
·        Create queries by assigning characteristics from an InfoProvider to rows, columns, filters, and free characteristics, and including key figures from the InfoProvider in the key figure structure of the query.
·        Restrict or filter key figures and characteristics
·        Use predefined key figure structures and restricted or calculated key figures in the query
·        Set or change query properties and key figure/characteristic properties in the query
·        Create or change conditions and exceptions
When compared with the BEx Query Designer, the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item has the following restrictions when creating or changing queries:
·        You cannot integrate variables into the query directly.
However, you can use variables in reusable structures, or restricted or calculate key figures, which are used in the Ad-hoc Query Designer
·        The query can contain only one structure. This structure has to be the key figure structure and be in the rows or columns of the query.
-        You cannot use key figures or key figure structures in the filter.
-        You cannot define exception cells, since this requires two structures.
You cannot create the following objects using the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item:
-         Reusable structures
-         Reusable restricted key figures
-         Reusable calculated key figures
-        Local calculated key figures
You can create local, restricted key figures using the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item.
You can edit existing queries in the Ad-hoc Query Designer Web item, if the queries adhere to the restrictions laid out above The Ad-hoc Query Designer checks these requirements when loading a query. If the query is too complex, the query can be loaded into the Ad-hoc Query Designer but you cannot change it there. You then receive the appropriate message. You can still check and execute the query.
"Ad Hoc" is a Latin phrase which means "for this purpose" and in today's parlance generally means "on the fly," or "spontaneously."
An ad hoc query is a query that is run at the spur of the moment, and generally is never saved to run again. These queries are run using a SQL statement created by a tool or an administrator. So therefore, such a query is one that might suit a situation which is only there for the moment and later on will become irrelevant.
As queries become more complex, it can be difficult to write them correctly ad-hoc. To help with this, one can instead write the knowledge needed for queries as business rules in English, and then use a system called "Internet Business Logic" to automatically generate and run the SQL queries. One can then get explanations of the results, in English, at the business level.

ABAP Query and SAP quary

What is the diff between ABAP Query and SAP quary?

Balu,
SAP Query
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly.

ABAP Reports and SAP Query

Hi Experts,
I have question regarding ABAP Reports, SAP Query, and Transaction with variant. How are we securing one the above reports that we assign them through pfcg. We can secure custom program by custom transaction or define the auth group in S_PROGRAM auth object but in this case we have to assign SA38 in production. is that correct?
Please help me understand difference between the ABAP reports and SAP query. Is the ABAP reports same as Program or they are different.
Thanks in advance
Faisal
Edited by: Faisal on Jun 30, 2009 11:06 PM

Hi,
1) End user security (role matrix coordinate with process team)
This role Matrix design is most important where we can put restrictions and use SoD.
2) Secure Table (by auth group)
Table TDDAT and use of transaction se54 for security tables to right auth Groups. Secure s_tabu_dis, s_tabu_cli.
3) Secure program (as you said ABAP reports are referred to Program)
Use of table TPGP and program RSCSAUTH for assignment of groups to Program. SA38 Running of SA38 requires a minimum SUBMIT in user Action. A user having SA38 is dangerous as he/she is now enabled to run any report. Hence protection in Auth Group is needed. Verify each and every program is having authority check statement and Auth Group or not before assigning sa38. As you mentioned its best to avoid SA38 and create CUSTOM TXN for each report.
(We should also SECURE S_DEVELOP in Production properly along with ur points. Please Note).
4) Secure some batch jobs roles for batch job
Secure by s_btch* objects and less access to se36.
5) Create support roles for cutover activity during Go-live
That is always needed. Go ahead.
6) Emergency roles & IT roles for support
This is very much needed as a role of Mitigation and Fire Fighting for Temporary access. Ensure to enable ur audit parameters in RZ10 (rsau* sm20,RSLG* for sm21). Give emergency access but enable audit via sm19 and get audit reports from sm20 and sm21 immediately after the use of emergency access.
There are also other auth objects we need to be care ful which is a long list and hope every body ensures that (s_cts,a_admi,s_trans, tables ssm_cust, prgn,t000) etc and a host of others. Besh wishes. Let us know if any issue.

Modes and Methods in Tag Query and SQL Query

Hi,
Can someone explain me about the modes available in TAG Query and SQL Query.
TAG Query has modes such as Current, CurrentWrite, GroupList, History, HistoryEvent, ModeList, Statistics and TagList
SQL Query i still have doubt on FixedQuery with output , Modelist and TableList
I also need to know why methods are used?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Muzammil

I'll try to explain to the best of my knowledge :
TagQuery
Current : Gives you the current value of the Tag you are reading.
CurrentWrite : Let you write a Value as the Current Value of the Tag.
GroupList : Generally Tags are grouped under different groups. Returns you the name of the Groups.
From the xMII Help Document :
History : History Mode returns interpolated data. Interpolation can be accomplished by specifying either the # of rows desired or the retrieval resolution. If the mode is "History" and a value is provided for the Resolution parameter (which is in seconds), the connector will retrieve evenly-spaced values starting at the beginning of the time interval, up to the maximum # of rows specified in the RowCount parameter. If no value is provided for the Resolution parameter, the connector will return an evenly-spaced number of values based on the value of the RowCount parameter.
For example, if the time interval is 1 hour, Resolution is 15, and RowCount is 240, the connector will return evenly spaced values each 15 seconds, up to 240 values (which would span the entire hour).
If the time interval is 1 hour, Resolution is not provided or is set to zero, and RowCount is 120, the connector would return 120 evenly spaced values, at an effective interval of 30 seconds.
HistoryEvent Mode : The connector can provide historical values "as they were stored" the database. This mode provides no interpolation of values.
Statistics Mode : When retrieving data for statistical calculations, the connector utilizes the same techniques as in the "HistoryEvent" mode. It is important to note that the first two returning columns in the HistoryEvent query must be the timestamp and the value, in that order. The SAP xMII Statistical processor expects that order, or errors will occur. This ensures precision of statistical measurements, particularly time-weighted average, by using the exact storage time and values from the historical database. The SAP xMII system provides the statistical calculations.
Modelist : Basically returns the modes of the Query Available. The Data returned is same as the data in the Modes list in the Quert Template Editor.
Taglist : Returns all the Tags in the Datasource.
SQL Query
Modelist : Same as above.
TableList : List of all the tables in the database to which the connector connects.
Again from SAP xMII Help Documentation :
FixedQueryWithOutput : This mode is used to execute an Oracle stored procedure or function that returns a REF CURSOR as output. The position of the REF CURSOR is marked by a "?" in the query. For example:
Create a table.
create table usage (id int, name varchar(50));
insert into usage (id, name) values (1, 'test1');
insert into usage (id, name) values (2, 'test2');
insert into usage (id, name) values (3, 'test3');
insert into usage (id, name) values (4, 'test4');
insert into usage (id, name) values (5, 'test5');
insert into usage (id, name) values (6, 'test6');
insert into usage (id, name) values (7, 'test7');
insert into usage (id, name) values (8, 'test8');
Define the stored procedure.
DROP PACKAGE foopkg;
CREATE PACKAGE foopkg IS
TYPE cursortype is ref cursor;
PROCEDURE test (mycursor in out cursortype);
END foopkg;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY foopkg IS
PROCEDURE test (mycursor in out cursortype) AS
BEGIN
open mycursor for select * from usage;
END;
END foopkg;

Define a query template for calling the stored procedure. Enter the following in the FixedQuery tab:
call foopkg.test(?)
This template returns all rows from the Usage table.

Detail differentiation between add query,combined query and sub query

HI
I would like to know the detail differentiation between add query,combined query and sub query with universe
correct me if I a wrong
Add query : adding of different query from different universe and also with in same universe.
Combined query : combining query using operators(Union,intersection,minus)with in same universe.
Sub query :getting results from the sub query and the result serves as the data for main query within same universe.

Regarding Sender query and receiver query

Hi Masters
I have one sender query and receiver query. Both queries contain G/L account.
First I got sender query report, in this report I drill down one free charactteristics field to get correponding field sales document in receiver report.
Is it mandatory which field i drill down in sender report should be in receiver report?
Could you please help ?
Thanks in Advance
Raja.S

I would rewrite the first one to:
Select t.id_entity,t.id_trade_ref,p.am_stock
from trade t,posting p
where t.id_trade_ref = '5V973781B'
and p.id_trade_ref = t.id_trade_ref
This way, you really make the join between the table.
I think the join is better because it uses less code. I do not think you will notice much performance win between one or the other, especially because it concerns only a few rows.

How to call both xacute query and xml query inside a single applet

Hi,
I am very new to XMII. Trying with a simple exercises now.
1. I have a Business Logic Transaction which will call external application using web services then it will get an output as xml and storing it in C:\.
2. Then I created one xacute query which will call the transaction
3. Then I created a xml query that will read the xml in c:\ and I too created a visual display template(ichart) for it
4. Created a html file -- created a applet , called all the 3 inside it. NOt getting any graph in IE
5. But if I call only xml query and display query its working
following are my HTML file:
<html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Order Percent Complete</title>
</head>
<body>

<APPLET NAME="MyApplet" WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="400" CODE="iChart" CODEBASE="/Illuminator/Classes" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" MAYSCRIPT>
<PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="UserTemplates/POTxnTemplate">
<PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="UserTemplates/POTemplate">
<PARAM NAME="DisplayTemplate" VALUE="UserTemplates/POVisual">
</APPLET>

</body>
</html>
6. In POTxnTemplate -- calling Transaction BL
In POTemplate -- fetching xml from c:\
In POVisual -- displaying the ichart (using POTemplate)
Can any one help me with this?
I am doing in the right path?
Thanks in Advance,
Murugappan.

Hello,
You can only enter one query template into an applet. Use the xacute query template. In the transaction assign the output of the web services results to a transaction property of type xml making sure you select the "Output Parameter?" option. These results will need to be in xMII format. Then open the xacute query template and verify that the output parameter you created is selected as an Output on the transaction tab.

SAP BW QUERY AND BOBJ , QUERY VARIABLES

I have a SAP BW QUERY which Iu2019m trying to get through to BOBJ 4.0 AND CONTINUE TO GET THIS error "getDocumentInformation exception Error WRE 99998.........database error The MDX QUERY SELECT {...} ON CLOUMNS, NON EMPTY UNORDER, DIMESION PROPERTIES ON ROWS from SAP VARIABLES FAILED TO EXECUTE WITH ERROR for characteristic 0FISCYEAR, enter year in specified format(IES10901)
We using BOBJ 4.0 AND IDT TO CREATE connections to query...
In SAP BEX ANALYZER the query runs and returns results without any issues, but in u201CQUERY AS A WEB SERVICEu201D and u201CWEB SERVICEu201D we get THE above error ....
so i removed the variables from the row section and included it in the filter section of query and still i get errors in bobj (This is after going to Transaction RSRT checking the properties TAB and selecting "Use Selection of Structure Elements" and then generating query in SAP BW,
SOME queries you need to assign variable inputs for certain characteristics to restrict specific data ACCORDINGLY...
is there a way to come around this?
are there some docs available that simply describes the method of using a variable input/prompt in a SAP BW QUERY and how to use it in BOBJ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in Advance

personal experience the variables doesnt work properly from query to bobj, remove any calculations in yoru query and variables, you could only use filters in query.. when you bring them in webi then brring the values to the report then create vraibles in it there.
i keep my query from filtering as well then do everything in webi or xcelsius ..

VC and SAP Query

System Landscape
NW Sneak Preview Java Edition with EP 6.0 (from SDN)
VC 6.0, Patch 5
R/3 Enterprise 4.7 extension set 200 (WAS 6.20)
Scenario
Utilize the BI Kit in VC and use SAP Query from a backend R/3 system to generate VC content.
(From what I have understood, the BI Kit does not necessarily need BW and can work with a R/3 source)
Questions
(a) Is the assumption correct that the BI Kit can use the SAP Query as a backend to generate content in VC (without a BW system in the landscape)?
(b) Do I need to install the BI UDI SP stack with the EP in NetWeaver Sneak Preview ?
(c) What type of systems do I need in the EP ? If I try the "New System" wizard, I do not get an option to connect to a "BI" system. nevertheless, if i try "new from PAR", i have a an option to use "com.sap.portal.systems.BIUDI". Can you help me with the parameters for a PAR - "com.sap.portal.systems.BIUDI" ?
any other tips / experiences of working with SAP Query and VC are most welcome.
Regards, Parag.
Note: I have tried a R/3 system connection and the RFCs are visible in VC

Thanks a ton Mario, your hints helped me in arriving at the configuration.
For the sake of completeness, I am listing the steps that led me to a successful config.
1. Download the BW 3.5 SR1 installation guide from service marketplace
2. Goto section 6 and perform the steps highlighted for BI Query Connector. Note that if you dont assign a value for the parameter "SERVERGROUP", the default is PUBLIC. So if you have a server with only SPACE (like I had), please do enter "SPACE" for this property.
3. Edit the services file on the Windows Server and add an entry for your SAP server. For example, my server SID is DEV, hence I inserted the following entry in the service file: sapmsDEV 3600/tcp
This step is necessary for JCo to work.
4. Stop and Re-start the BI Query service (using the Visual Administrator)
5. Test the connection with the following URL - http://<host>:<port>/TSapq/servlet/TestSapq
This should list you the queries in the SAP system
6. Open EP (I logged in as admin) and add the system as described in Step 4, section 2.2 of the VC installation guide.
7. Add permission for "everyone" group to this system
8. Login to EP with another userid, perform user mapping (personalize option)
9. Start VC storyboard, login to EP with the other userid (not admin), use Data Service or BI Query Wizard to retreive the queries.
Why did I have to use another userid ?
Well, this was because the connection test did not work for me with the admin user, nor was I able to retrieve the queries in VC. Dont know why this didnt work.
