Any hint on how to create a query faster?

Hi Guru:
I use query designer for many years, but actually I feel this tool is not really easy to use. For example, I need to right click on a line in a structure, get the popup and then use drag and drop to define a selection for a row.
Is there any easier way like to input the selection directly or in the future release we will have it? Compare to crystal report, the query designer is really hard to use.
Eric

Eric,
It is what it is and you cannot simplify the development of query further using BEx Query designer. I heard some newa that the reporting is altogether taking a different direction once the Business Object front is combined with SAP BI Backend. Until then you have to use what is there. You could write an ABAP (ofcourse extremly complex) and create MDX files (how query is stored inside SAP). But it is like re-inventing what SAP is doing, and level of success is extremly limitted.
I feel the pain. But unfortunately there are no other way to achive.
Goodluck,
Alex.

Any HINTS on how to get questions answered faster?

Based on http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=10&thread=423278&tstart=0&trange=100
"GCD: Well duh..It was OT. It didn't ask any Java related questions!"
I have a question about Java questions:
Does anybody have any suggestions or guidelines for posting Java questions in order to help get quick, helpful answers?
Will it help if I use all caps, and a bunch of exclamation points, like "URGENT!!!!!!" in my Java question?
Will it help if I make both the subject and the Java question itself very vague? Maybe a subject of "Why doesn't this work?" and a body consisting of 1000 lines of unformatted code?
Speaking of which, why isn't there a link anywhere that tells me how to format the code that I include in my Java question?
Will it help to crosspost my Java question?
Should I just post my Java homework and ask you guys to do it for me?
Should I ignore common courtesy, and scream when my question isn't answered in 5 minutes, and not say thank you when it's answered in 10?

Does anybody have any suggestions or guidelines for posting Java >questions in order to help get quick, helpful answers?Yes. If you don't want that people suspect that you're trying to get your homework done for you, follow these guidelines :
-Ask questions with a strong academic flavor, that sound like an invitation to parrot some textbook.
-Avoid anything like personal tone, specific angle, real-world application possibilities.
-Don't provide any background about how you came to be interested in that question.
-Don't show any commitment in getting it answered that could betray your utter cluelessness about the whole issue.
-Don't show any involvement in the forum beyond the immediate benefit you expect from it. Just post and run away.
If you follow these principles, you will see your thread sparkle passionate discussions and sticking on the frontpage for the weeks to come.

Any hints of how to exclude these lines from the following BEx output?

I have a BEx report which outputs the following shipment activities, showing Doc and Items numbers, Requested and Received dates, actual and PO quantities.

Somehow, I am getting some activity lines which I do not understand but do not want in the output. Those are the lines which show u201CPO_Qty = 0 AND Act_Qty = 0 at the same time.u201D i.e. the highlighted lines.
Any hint on how to eliminate the highlighted lines from the output?
I played with calculated key figures but could not reason it out.

Create Conditions over the Formula. Since the sum would be always 0 only when both the KF's are zero I think you can create condition over this formula.

How we create abap query

how we create abap query can any1 tell me?

Reporting tool :Standard reports
Purpose :Provide solutions for your most frequent reporting requirements
Advantages :Can be used immediately
No developments required
Limitations :Limited flexibility
Output fields cannot be selected as required
HIS
Purpose :Hierarchies are displayed as graphics

InfoSet Query
Purpose :Intuitive, general SAP reporting tool used to create customer reports
Enables you to create reports for all areas of HR
When InfoSet Query is accessed from Human Resources (HR), the Query area and User group parameters already contain values and you can only perform ad hoc reporting. If InfoSet Query is accessed this way, it is called Ad Hoc Query in HR (see HR in InfoSet Query).
Advantages :User-friendly interface
Very easy to use
No programming required
If integrated with SAP Query, you can continue processing queries using SAP Query
Set operations enable you to create sets of objects as required for which data must be output
Can be included in roles using a suitable InfoSet
Limitations :InfoSets and user groups must be defined in SAP Query before you can use InfoSet Query
Multiline lists cannot be displayed
SAP Query
Purpose :General SAP reporting tool used to create customer reports

Each HR query can process data from just one HR logical database:
PNP: Administration, Time Management, and Payroll
PCH: Generally for all areas, but particularly suitable for reporting on data from Personnel Planning
PAP: Recruitment
Requires much more training than other options
Limitations:Data is extracted from OLTP systems, that is, real-time data is not accessed
Business Information Warehouse
Purpose :Analytical reporting tool used for information and decision-making purposes
Advantages : Extremely flexible
Facilitates complex calculations (calculation of averages, time series comparisons)
Enables you to access non-SAP data
Easy to use
Uses OLAP technology
Includes detailed Business Content (HR extractors, InfoCubes, key figures, and standard queries
i think it is adhoc query not abap query

How to create sql query for item master with operator LIKE with variables?

Jeyakanthan

Hi Jeyakanthan,
here is an example (put the like statement into the where field)
SELECT T0.CardCode, T0.CardName FROM OITM T0 WHERE T0.CardName Like '%%test%%'
The %% sign is a wildcard. If you need start with write 'test%%' and otherwise ends with '%%test'. For contains you need '%%test%%'. You also could combinate this statements like 'test%%abc%%'. This means starts with test and contains abc.

I assume by uploaded, you mean installed!??
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Can any one tell how to create pivot table

Hi ,
Am trying to create a pivot tabel in the MDM Import Manager. Iam able to see the preview of the pivot table which i want to create. But when i try to click "OK" button, an error message getting displayed like...
"The new table cannot be created because the data source is not updatable.You may need the data source to an updatable format such as Microsoft Access before proceeding".
Due to the above error am not able to create pivot table, plz let me know if any one know how to solve this problem
Thanks & regards
Praveen k

Hi Praveen ,
The solution to your problem is -
The data source must be updateable in order for MDM to
create the new pivot or reverse pivot table. However, you can still
perform the steps leading up to table creation including the preview
even on a data source that is not updateable, so that you can explore
pivoting or reverse pivoting as a transformation option. If you then
decide you want to actually create the new table, convert the data
source into a format that is updateable (such as Microsoft Access) and
perform the pivot or reverse pivot on the new data source.
To create a pivot table, you must identify the source fields that
participate in the pivot, which ones contain metadata and which ones
contain data, which ones must be combined, the one-to-one
correspondence between metadata and data fields and/or field
combinations, and the key field or fields.
To create a pivot table:
1. In the drop-down list of source tables, make sure the table you want to
pivot is the current source table.
2. In the Source Hierarchy tree, select all the field nodes corresponding to
both the metadata fields and the data fields by which you want to pivot.
3. Right-click on one of the nodes and choose Create Pivot Table from the
context menu, or choose Source > Create Pivot Table from the main
menu
4. MDM opens the Create Pivot Table dialog
5. In the Key Fields dual-list drop-down control, move one or more fields
from the Available Fields list to the Selected Fields list to identify the
key fields on which to perform the pivot
6. In the dual-list control of fields, drag-and-drop the data fields from the
Field Values Become Field Names list to the Field Values Become
Field Values list
7. If necessary, select two or more fields in either list that must be
combined into a field combination, and click on the Combine button, or
right-click on one of the fields and choose Combine from the context
menu
8. If necessary, drag-and-drop fields or field combinations within each list
to create the one-to-one correspondence between metadata fields and
data fields.
9. Click on the Preview button to display a preview of the first ten records
of the pivot table
10. When you have verified that the pivot operation you have defined will
have the desired effect, click OK to close the Create Pivot Table dialog.
11. The MDM Import Manager creates a new table named table <Pivot>
in the data source (where table is the name of the original source
table).
12. In the drop-down list of source tables, select the newly created pivot
table on which to perform subsequent import processing.
Hope that helps ...
Regards
Deepak Singh

How to create a Query iView based on user's parameter?

Hello,
I've created a Query iView which depends on a Costumize parameter that the user enters - On stage 5 of the wizard I've entered a customize parameter on a certain field and called it "user_param". The wizard entered the Query: WHERE... = {$user_param}. So far so good...
My question is, after creating this iView, how Do I implement it at the Portal so the user will have a place to enter his parameter and receive the result?
when opening the Query I don't see such place. According to SPA's documentation, the user should enter the parameter at the "personalize" menu. When I put this iView in a page and open the "Personalize" menu there is no such place.
Which further configurations should I do in order it to work?

If you open the iview, there should be a personalize property or setting for the URL parameter. Make sure that it is set to read/write. I just got off a portal project where I did a few of these, but I don't have access to one right now, so I can't give you the exact steps, but you should get the idea.
Good luck,
Tom \
