Ad-hoc query designer support end?

Hi Colleagues,
We need use Web Query Designer (Ad-hoc Query Designer) tool at BI 7.0 version.
So, we've heard that SAP leaves mantain Web Query Designer tool, could you confirm us it? If it's true which other choice you offer us?
Regards
Raul.

Hi Sabine,
I think I did not fully get what your requirement is, please elaborate on what you want to be displayed. Something general
1. in tab "exception values" you can specify the key figures on which the exceptions are to be applied and assign value ranges to different colors / levels
2. in tab "validity area of exception" you can specify
a) to apply the exception on all or totals only (choicebox), this setting is valid for all characteristics not mentioned in the field below
b) to apply the exception on everything, totals, everything but totals, fixed value, hierarchy level corresponding to a certain characteristic
Best regards,
Björn

  • How to disable Wizard in Ad-hoc Query Designer

    Hi everybody,
    I am using the Bex Ad-hoc Query Designer in a web application. The users should be able to define their own queries, but just for one info provider. I selected the info provider in the properties of the ad-hoc query designer in the web template.
    Now the users are able to create queries for all info providers with the wizard.
    Is it possible to disable the wizard or to disable all buttons at the top of the ad-hoc query designer.
    Thanks in advance,
    Joerg

    This can be done using the security for the Infoprovider,  provide the users access to create queries only for that Infoprovider.

  • Ad hoc Query Designer

    Hi,
    In which scenarios we use Ad hoc Query Desinger..can you give me an example....I know there are few restrictions when compared to Query designer.....

    hi,
    Ad-Hoc Query designer
    Creating a query with the Ad-Hoc query designer is much on the same lines as creating a query with the Bex Query Deisgner. You need to choose the chars and key figures and place them in rows, columns, free chars or filter areas. You can set the InfoObject properties and also create exceptions and conditions.
    The Adhoc Query Designer is a web item and can be made available in web reports
    See this link for more info and some important restrictions when using the Ad-Hoc Query Designer:

  • Ad-hoc Query Designer: Create Exception

    Hi there,
    somehow, my Ad-hoc Query designer is going crazy or something. I don't know whether it is a technical error.... hope you can help me.
    When I create an exception, if I don't set the standard operator AND all characteristics to "All" the exception is displayed only for the results.
    When I set all these operators to "All", then the results are also marked in the respective colours. However, I only want to mark everything but the results, but if I choose for this option, only the overall result is displayed.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks,

  • Change query in Ad-hoc Query Designer

    Hello All,
    We are using Ad-hoc Query Designer for users to run their reports. now we want them to do their modifications there itself and save as the query. But SAVE and SAVE AS buttons are Inactive. 
    One more problem with using Ad-hoc Query Designer is when we run reports and want to save the Bookmark, this function is not working (though the Bookmark button is Active).
    It would be helpful if you could pinpoint the settings/configurations that I would need to check to get above two things working.
    Thanks and Best regards
    Pratap Sone

    If you want users to enter the data , you can create a transactional cube andmake the query input ready .

  • Ad Hoc Query Designer - Web Application

    Hello,
    I have created a Web application that has the 'Ad-Hoc Query Designer' item.
    When I go to create a new query I don't have the option (or I can't find it) to use any variables.
    Like in Analyzer I can run a query and it will ask me the values for the variables I have embedded in the query.
    How do I make that work using the 'Ad-Hoc Query Designer'
    Also I have problems with the application timing out, what timeout variable needs to be adjusted?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    You have to run the Launch query in browser from the query designer window, it will be the second icon from the top. This will open up the query in a browser and if the query has a selection screen the browser will launch the selection screen.
    For the application timing out, it is a parameter that has to be set in the instance profile of the BI application server. You can ask your basis team to increase the parameter 'rdisp/j2eetimeout'.
    Hope this helps

  • Is it too much to ask MS for a simple ad-hoc query tool for end users?

    Hello
    This is a general MS BI topic and not specific to Power Query, but I couldn't find a more suitable general forum for it.
    This posting is the result of the frustration I have with MS BI stack, whereby a simple ad-hoc drag and drop query tool to get the data in a table format (preferably from a relational
    data source) is missing, something that other big vendors have, such as SAP Business Objects Universe and the associated tools. The deprecated SSRS Report model and SMDL was the closest MS ever got to this functionality (although that had some limitations
    too), which unfortunately is dead now in favour of all sort of "Power" tools that basically can’t deliver the same functionality.
    The requirement is pretty simple: provide users with a tool that they can drag and drop fields from different entities in a data model without having to worry about entity relationships and
    apply necessary filters and get the data out in Excel or CSV, no fancy (or even simple) aggregation or formatting is required, and users should only see the rows they are authorized to see, i.e. row level security (RLS) of data.
    Let’s see what we have at our disposal from MS BI:
    From the modeling perspective, we have relational models in the database that support RLS with views, but obviously cannot maintain PK-FK relationships in the database model between views. Other
    models are .Net Entity Data model Framework model exposed as OData, and SSAS tabular, SSAS PowerPivot, SSAS multidimensional, which you can find a good comparison of their features here:
    http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2012/3/4/decisions-powerpivot-ssas-tabular -or-ssas-multidimensional-m.html
    From the tools perspective we have:
    Power Query on top of a relational database (SQL Server): Can connect to relational databases easily, generated queries are optimal, detects relationships with entities, but only when entities
    are tables and have PK-FK relationships enforced in the database. So can’t detect relationships with views and hence can’t enforce RLS, so this is not an option unless users keep joining entities, which is not a desirable option either.
    Power Query on top of an OData: Works well except that queries generated for multiple entity expansion are terrible (look here for more details:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7a8b8e52-d3a9-42af-bc52-9d5459c00529/odata-multilevel-expand-query-issue?forum=powerquery). In addition all filtering and projections are done at client side, so even if you want 1 row out of 1 million, all
    rows are brought over to Excel before filtered. Overall this results in unacceptable performance even for small sized data.
    Power Query on top of a tabular model: Doesn’t support that type of data source yet (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ebcccb5e-7058-4046-917d-3d7fcf60cbdc/tabular-model-as-data-source-for-power-query?forum=powerquery).
    Even if it did, tabular models don’t support Many-to-Many relationships out of the box and not sure if there are plans to support tabular models in Direct Query mode in Power Query to take care of RLS.
    Excel on top of tabular models or multidimensional models: The tabular model should not be in Direct Query mode and you only get to use PivotTable to query the model. PivotTables are not famous
    for generating optimal MDX queries, so performance is not going to be acceptable if you are dealing with large dimensions, especially large junk and degenerate dimensions. You can use drilltrough to get details of a measure, but you have to specify the columns
    for a drilltrough action upfront, no flexibility for users to select what they want to see.
    PowerPivot on top of relational databases: The query designer cannot detect relationships between views, so users have to perform manual joins, not an option.
    PowerPivot on top of a multidimensional or tabular model: The query designer doesn’t generate optimal MDX queries by drag and drop. Especially there doesn’t seem to be a way to add related
    attributes of a dimension attribute to the query without cross joins which results in poor performance on large dimensions. Other issues found here
    http://sqlblog.com/blogs/marco_russo/archive/2010/08/24/using-ssas-2005-2008-as-powerpivot-data-source-query-designer.aspx. In addition the result set has ugly column names and issues with data types, such as interpreting numeric data types as Text, and
    there’s no straight forward way of getting the data from PowerPivot directly to Excel. The user either has to do a copy/paste (which doesn’t work on large datasets) or create a pivot table, bring the measure, and drillthrough the measure to get the details
    in table format.
    PowerPivot with OData: Treats every entity as a separate table to import, not suitable for our use case.
    Report Builder and SSRS on top of relational, multidimensional or tabular model: Given the query designer is the same as PowerPivot, it has similar issues. In addition, there are 4 more steps
    from designing a query to generating an Excel or CSV output, not an option.
    PowerView: Works against tabular and multidimensional models, but there’s no way of exporting data to Excel sheet. Besides the add-in is not available for Excel 2010.
    Good old MS-Access: Link to tables and views through ODBC, create relationships between entities and give each user a copy of that Access database to create their queries, and deal with the
    nightmares of updates to the model and distribution of new models to the users! Did I mention Access as an option?
    So there you go, 10 options, none of which can deal with a seemingly simple use case sufficiently. At the moment, the best among them appears to be option 6 against a heavily optimized OLAP
    cube, and perhaps #3 when/if Power Query support for tabular models in direct query mode arrives. Perhaps I am missing something very obvious, and would like someone to enlighten me here.
    Thanks

    Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
    -bind_at_load
                     Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols                when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
    Load resources lazily.
    You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.
    http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iphone/conceptual/iphoneos programmingguide/PerformanceTuning/PerformanceTuning.html
    And, higher OS versionsare even worse with Bonjour/mDNSResponder, but might see this...

  • 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.
