Authorization issue - Query is not working

Hi All,
I have creared an auth.object on zcomp_code. created a role and assigned to a particular user. I have included 20 comp.codes in this auth object. All is well except the query result
I have 2 variables in the variable pop-up screen. 1 is FiscYear and 2nd is zcomp_code (auth.variable). If i execute by not giving any value to comp.code, its showing "no autho". If I pass values then its giving proper result. Per my understanding, without input to comp.code it should display what and all are authorised to that particular role/user. Please correct me if I am wrong. I would like to show the result even there is no input to comp.code. Could anyone please suggest any approach to do this. Your assistance highly appreciable.
Note: the comp.code variable is of type auth. variable. optional, ready for input.
Thank you in advance!!!
Best Regards
Venkat....

Hi Venkatesh,
Hope you did all necessary developments, however i guess there is something missing in assignment of authorization relevant obj. Please go through below link which has explained on possible errors for "No Authorization Error" during this type of development.

Hope this helps.

Excel 2010 MS Query is not working

Hi, I am in the process of upgrading all my Excel 2003 spreadsheets to Excel 2010. I am running into problem with the MS Query. Spreadsheets have MS Query linking to MS database. However, when I open some of the spreadsheets, the MS Query
is not working ie. the blue circle keeps turning and then not responding. It is very weird that this MS Query is working fine with some spreadsheets but not couple and they are all linking to the same database except a small different in criteria. I
tried to re-create the Query in the spreadsheet in Excel 2010 by going to Data>From Other Sources>From Microsoft Query and select the database. Once I set up the criteria and click Return data, the Query gets stuck.
Please help! Any comments/suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
There are many possible causes that can crash MSQuery in Excel 2010.
First, please make sure we have installed the latest Office 2010 and Windows patches.
Second, Please read the Blog, it explains one typical crash scenario.
=====
AppName: msqry32.exe AppVer: 14.0.4750.1000 ModName: msvcr90.dll
There are several possible resolution you can try to resolve the above crash:
1. When you launch MS Query, just disable the option "Validate queries before saving or returning data", this is the fifth box in the options menu.
The only problem is that if you have made any mistake in your query, you'll only be noticed when receiving the data in excel.
2. Repair all the keys into registry at the following place:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC]
For example:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC]
"TraceFile"="C:\\DOCUME~1\\...USERNAME...\\IMPOST~1\\Temp\\SQL.LOG"
"TraceDll"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\odbctrac.dll"
http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/11/07/msquery-randomly-crashed.aspx
=====
Third, start the Excel 2010 with
safe mode, it helps us confirm if some add-ins cause this issue.
Hope it's helpful.

Chris,
There are several areas in your code which needed changes.
1. On the field name for your temp table you had spaces.
2. The SAP table name ODLN, OPCH, PCH1 had to be fully referenced like
[dbo].[ODLN]
3. You really need not have ## in front of your temp table, it could just be #
The select at the end is actually what causes the most problem as for some reason from within SAP it does not produce the result. I would suggest you put the whole code into a Stored Procedure and call the SP from SAP. Corrected SQL below. If you remove the Select line at the end the query would work with in SAP, but keep it give give you an error. SP is the best option for this.
DECLARE @date DATE
DECLARE @delrows INT
DECLARE @delquan INT
DECLARE @a INT
DECLARE @recrows INT

Select query is not working in BDC Program

Hi,
I am working in BDC for update valuation class for T-code mm01.Actually In this BDC i am using two recoding based on material type.
i am using two internal table : I_DATA and ITAB
Use I_DATA to hold excle data in which material No, plant , valuation type , valuation No. and ITAB for material No, material type Only.
So, i am fetching material Type ( MARA-MTART ) through select query. But Select query is not working. and also i did check MARA table according that Material Number then material no. exit in Mara Table.
Note : at run time I_DATA have 1 row but ITAB have 0 row ....
DATA: BEGIN OF I_DATA OCCURS 0,
MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR,
WERKS TYPE MARC-WERKS,
BWTAR TYPE RMMG1-BWTAR,
VERPR TYPE BMMH1-VERPR,
BKLAS TYPE MBEW-BKLAS,
STATUS TYPE C,
END OF I_DATA.
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,
MTART LIKE MARA-MTART,
END OF ITAB.
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
Guide me..........

If you use your
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab
    where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
At end of loop, itab will only contain the result of the last select, so use a
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara APPENDING table itab
    where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
better
if I_DATA[] is not initial.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_data where matnr = i_data-matnr.
endif.
Some Remarks
- If actually required (where does I_DATA come from, is it an external format, you need the internal value to use in SELECT statement), check via SE11 the correct [conversion exit|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/35/26b217afab52b9e10000009b38f974/content.htm] associated with domain MATNR (Is it truly ALPHA, and not something like MATN1, so [CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=conversion_exit_matn1_input])
- You could try to use BAPI like [BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=bapi_material_savedata] and not BDC

HELP - Edge Animate issues - buttons/symbols not working/disappearing in portrait mode on mobile devices

Edge Animate - Issues - buttons/symbols not working/disappearing when in portrait mode on iPad and mobile devices, but in landscape version everything is fine.
Everything works cross broswer on Desktop - Safari, Chrome, Explorer and Firefox - mobile devices prove glichy... anyone else experience this?
It's a regular issue of mine, particularly with complex animations. Symbols disappear
- is it something to do with overflow?
- responsive scaling?
I have no idea.

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

Web Query (.iqy) not working in Excel after upgrade to 11.1.1.6

After upgrade 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6, the Web Query (.iqy) does not work. After open the .iqy file in Excel, entered the user and password, it only pulls in "PK" in one cell, instead of the expected analysis report. This was working in 11.1.1.5 before upgrade.
Does anyone know how to correct this issue? Is this a bug in 11.1.1.6, or required some new configuration settings?
Thanks in advance.

Query Viewer not working

New install of CFB 2 on Win 7 32bit with CF901.
When right clicking on a database table in RDS Dataview I get an error , I get the error "/MyProject/.rdsTempFiles/RDS Query Viewer does not exist". The same is happening when trying to open the RDS Query Viewer.
This works correctly in CFB 1.
Any suggestions what is going on? Is it a permissions issue or something similar? The .rdsTempFiles directory is created in the /MyProject folder and shows up in the Navigator.
Thanks
Doug

Hi Kiran,
I cannot login to the Forums (the login is apparently down) so will answer what I have found.
Running CFB2 on Win 7 32bit. CFB 1 is also installed.
Tried the following: ( CFB 2 ALWAYS started with -clean option )
1. started with no projects at all in Nav. View.
     Added New Project called "test List" that was pointed to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\testlist" folder - Query Viewer did not work
2. deleted project from Nav View, deleted .project, .settings., settings.xml, .rdsTempFiles from testlist folder.
     Added New Project called "test List2" that points to same testlist folder. Query Viewer did not work.
     Renamed "test List2" to "testlist". Query Viewer did not work.
3. Deleted project from Nav View, deleted .project, .settings, settings.xml, .rdsTempFIles from testlist folder.
     Restartd CFB2. Added New project called "testlist" that points to same testlist folder. QUERY Viewer worked successfully.)))
     Renamed testlist project to "Test List". Query Viewer worked.
Restarted CFB2 and repeated 1 and 2. Even re-started CFB2 after adding a new project before trying Query Viewer. Did not work.
Uninstalled CFB2. Reinstalled CFB2. Same results as 1,2,3.
Other interesting info.
In the Error Log when I start CFB2, I always get the following.
     Unable to create a template transfer. Com.adobe.rds.core
     Three more entries with No message except "No stack trace" - com.adobe.ide.coldfusion.server
This happens even after my reinstall.
Hope this helps.

Characteristic "Master Data" setting in Query definition not working?

Hi,
I am having a problem with a query definition. (BI 7.0)
The query comprises the following definition which relate to displaying Milestone dates for respective projects in a time series so the dates are populated in the correct column in a time series:
Filter
Project Definition = Fixed Single Project Definition
Fiscal Year Variant = K4
Project Profit Centre = Hierarchy Node
Project Plant = Fixed Single Value
Free Chars
Network
Network Activity
Activity Element
Rows
Project Plant
Project Profit Centre (With hierarchy)
Project Definition
Milestone Type (Setting in characteristic to pick up Master Data)
CSR Relevant    (Setting in characteristic to pick up Master Data)
      Structure
           Actual
           Scheduled
    (Actual: Value type = Actual, Origin = Manual ,Event = Start)
    (Scheduled: Value type = Actual, Origin = Scheduled ,Event = Start)
Columns
Key Figure structure of 12 key figures in a time series
Selection
Key Figure = Date
Fiscal Year/Period = Current Fiscal Year / Period (SAP EXIT) (With Offset 1 to 12)
FYI
When I run the above it comes back correctly. However when I add "MILESTONE" (Characteristic setting (Posted Values) to the Query Definition immediately after the "Milestone Type" and before CSR it does not work it just is hanging for a considerable time.
I am not using "Master Data" for the "Access Type for Result Vales" for the additional characteristic "MILESTONE" just "Posted Values".
I was expecting that it would just show all Milestone types as per Master Data but just the Milestones that are posted for this result.
I would appreciate a solution to this issue and an explanation to why it hangs when I add the "MILESTONE" characteristic to the definition as explained above.
Thanks in advance..
Stevo

Hello there,
Putting Milestone in the rows in the query definition is not being hang there (i.e., while creating and saving the query) right?
It is stucked while executing the query isn't it so?
That's because you have too many records to be desaggregated by milestone characteristic, and this is indepently of posted values in the characteristic settings.
Putting milestone characteristic in the free characteristics will allow you to run the query, but desaggregate it (add it to the rows) will be to much information to read from your dataprovider (this is just a guess).
If it is being stucked in query execution whike milestone is in the rows. Try this for example:
Add milestone to the free chars. Execute the query. Filter milestone characteristic while still in the free rows and choose a value that you are pretty sure has the smallest records in the Dataprovider (could be for example value #). Than drill down milestone to the rows. You'll see that it can be executed without any problem.

Query Excetion not working for Charactristic restriction

Hi ,
I am trying to create one Exception in Query Designer.
The requirement is : Report should highlight the data cells where Material Group is "AAAA".
Now I created one exception and rectricted to Material Group " AAAA".
Now the issue is : It is working in Analyser But not in portal.
It is working in ABAP web( RSRT Transaction) but not in JAVA web.
I created a new exception only rectriction related to data cells( for example: Gross profit > 100) ..It is working ...
I dont know why my system is not working for exceptions restricted to Characteristic.
There may be some setting , I am missing which is leading to this issue. As the exception is working in Analyser, I donot think there is any issue with Exception definition...
So please guide me ..... if you have already faced this type of issue and resolved the same...

F11 (query mode) not working in payment form in AP

Dear All,
F11 function not working in Payment form in R12.
I made a payment and quit the form. Whem am trying to query the payment invoice to void it. F11 functionality is not working.
Could anyone tell me the solution?
Regards
Deeps.

Hi Ivruksha,
Thanks for your response.
This issue is due to personalization done in payment form to default the payment date. First we defaulted the payment date once we open the form and faced issue in Quering a payment.
Now we did a change in personalization to default after selecting the Trading Partner and rectified the issue.

4.3 Update - Car Stereo Issue, voice dialing not working with Bluetooth

I've seen some similar issues reported, but they were for specific cars/stereos, and the symptoms were different, so I'm posting about mine:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.3.
Car Stereo: Pioneer AVH-X2500BT
This is a stereo I bought and installed myself. All of its features worked fine, and I was enjoying making calls using voice dialing via the stereo. Then, I installed the 4.3 update to the Galaxy SIII. Ever since (literally, I made a call that day before installing it, and tried shortly after), I cannot use the voice dialing feature. Any attempt to use voice dialing or voice commands via the car stereo will fail. Here's what happens:
I do a long press on the car stereo's Home button to initiate voice dialing. On my phone, S-Voice starts up, and a Toast (little message) pops up briefly that says "Check in-car audio". When I talk, the little animation on the microphone button in S-Voice does not happen, meaning it's not hearing anything. The car stereo shortly cancels out of voice dialing mode, as though it timed out, or something.
I've tried switching to Google voice, but the same thing happens. I've tried all kinds of configuration on both devices. I've unpaired and re-paired. Nothing.
Also, turn-by turn directions from Google Maps appears to not work. The app thinks it's giving them, and when I turn the car off, the voice suddenly works from the phone, but it just won't come out the stereo.
All other features work fine, including Pandora, and streaming Bluetooth audio. I can even make phone calls, by accessing the contacts and recent call list from the car stereo. The calls work and come through the stereo fine. Literally voice dialing and Google Maps are all that doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

There could be any number of factors that may be affecting this, byounie. It may be that the firmware on your car stereo headunit may need to be updated. My direct recommendation to check first would be to access your bluetooth submenu, and next to paired info for the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT, you should see a little cog wheel/settings icon. Please select this, and start unselecting everything available there. Work your way up, and enable and test these different settings one by one, to see if there is a conflict between Google Maps and Voice dialing services. Let us know what happens, byounie.

Using parameters in a select query sometimes not working

I use parameters throughout my code - usually without problem, but for some reason in one case it does not return a result. When I modify the querystring to contain the value instead of using parameters it works. Is it because I'm secting a clob? or is it because I'm using a 9i ODP.net dll against a 10g database? this is c# 2.0
here's the source code that does not work for me - REQUEST_DATA is a clob:
    public String loadRequest(String PSRNumber)
        String returnVal = null;
        ConnectionStringSettings connectionInfo = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Scribe"];
        OracleConnection myConnection = new OracleConnection();
        String strSQL = "select PSR, REQUEST_DATA from stats.request where PSR = :PSR";
        try
            myConnection.ConnectionString = connectionInfo.ConnectionString;
            OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(strSQL, myConnection);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
            cmd.Parameters.Add("PSR", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = PSRNumber;
            myConnection.Open();
            OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            if (dr.Read())
                returnVal = dr.GetOracleString(dr.GetOrdinal("REQUEST_DATA")).ToString();
            else
                returnVal = null;
            dr.Dispose();
            cmd.Dispose();
        catch (OracleException ex)
            printError(ex.Message);
        finally
            myConnection.Close();
            myConnection.Dispose();
        return returnVal;
    }when I replace the line generating the sql, and remove the lines pertaining to parameters it works:
String strSQL = String.Format("select PSR, REQUEST_DATA from stats.request where PSR = {0}", PSRNumber);
I'm fine just using this as a workaround, but I need an explanation why the other does not work - I prefer to use parameters.

I figured it out. thank you for your help in pointing me in the right direction.
the problem was there was a trailing space in the data.
when the data for that table is numeric for every record, the query allows me to leave out the single quotes. Trailing spaces do not seem to cause the database to see it as non-numeric - leaving out the quote still finds the record even if there is a trailing space.
but when I put in the quote, it is not an exact string match, so it could not find the record. sometimes this flexibility gets me into trouble :\
