BEx 3.5 - Query Execution Filter F4 Help

Hi,
Working in BEx Analyser 3.5, I'm facing a problem. When the user right-clicks one of the free characteristics and tries to select the filter values, the window that opens up doesn't show any of the the characteristic values. It says "No Entries Found". However, when I try it from my own user ID it shows a few values.
The variable is marked as authorisation relevant. So I first tried to untick the authorisation relevant checkbox, but that didn't work. I also created an authorisation object for the InfoObject, added it to a role and gave * access for that auth object to the role. Didn't work.
Checking out a few other threads on the topic, found that this kind of problem happens during compounding. But in my case, there is no compounding involved.
Would appreciate if anyone could offer help on this
Regards,
Suhas

Hi Raghavendra,
Tried that as well. Actually, to begin with the report had only a user entry variable (i.e. without auth check) and even then it was not working i.e. the window was not showing any of the characteristic values.
So to fix that, I tried to create a variable having an auth check. That didn't solve the problem either.

Suhas

Query Execution Filter Val. Selection take no effect on query based on AG

Hi,
by setting the 'Query Execution Filter Val. Selection' property in query, we can control the value list when we execute the query. with setting 'Only posted value values for navigation', only the data posted to cube can be listed when you do the selection in the Query Execution selection screen and with setting 'values in master data table', all the date will be listed when you do the selection in the Query Execution selection screen.
1. but for queries based on cube or multi-cube, when i select 'values in master data table' in query defination, still only the posted value is displayed when i do the selection in the Query Execution selection screen. is there anyone know why?
2. for queries based on aggregation level, whatever setting i choose, all the values is displayed when i do the selection in the Query Execution selection screen. how i can do select the posted value for this kind of query?
Many Thanks
Jonathan

I apologize I meant the other link:
I will put the useful text from that link here.
Regarding the query built on aggregation level please note the following
the aggregation level is always a Virtual Provider built other
InfoProvider and hence it does not have the dimension table and hence
the F4 mode D is not supported.
Therefore when aggregation level is used in a query, F4 does not supportD-mode: 'Only Values in InfoProvider' and all master data values are
displayed in the value list.
Reference from the note
984229 F4 modes for input help as of SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI
4. Since other InfoProviders do not have a dimension table, the system
displays only posted values if you select "Only Posted Values for
Navigation". Otherwise, it displays the values from the master data
table.
Hope this should clarify your doubts. Please let me know if you have
questions else please confirm the message at your earliest convenie

Restriction on F4 values during query execution filter variable

Dear All,
I have a requirement where new Cost Centers will be replaced by Old Cost Centers but master data entry will be there for both.
Now when user will press F4 they should not get the Old Cost Centers so how can I restrict it.
Regards,
Mayank

Hi All,
Was busy in other stuff, so could not able to reply.
But both the cost centers will be there Old and New in my transaction data and master data as well now how can I restrict only for some cost centers to not appear in F4 help.

Selection of Filter Values for Query Execution -Only Values in InfoProvider

I created a query based on an ODS. For the query charateristic 0NFCAT_CODE a variable was created by me. To the time of query execution F4 shows all values available in the charateristic, but only values available in the ODS are expected.
The characteristic 0NFCAT_CODE is a reference characteristic to 0CAT_CODE. 0NFCAT_CODE is compounded with 0NFCAT_TYPE (reference to 0CAT_TYPE) and 0NFCAT_GRP (reference to 0CAT_GRP). All characteristics 0CAT_CODE, 0CAT_TYPE and 0CAT_GRP are set to Query Def. Filter Value Selection = Only Values in InfoProv and Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn = Only Values in InfoProvider.
Could anybody give me a help? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
that is master data of 0NFCAT_CODE.

San!

Master data taking Long time in Query Execution

hello Experts
I have an issue while executing a query.
The input parameter for the query is the 0customer variable in which when I try to select the value from the tab Select From the List & goes for single value option or any other option then goes for long time loading the values & then come out with a short dump.
I want to know why this is happening.
Please help me out from this.
Thanks in advance
Neha

Thanks to All
I have checked the info Object - 0Customer.
The following settings are there in Bex Explorer tab ::
Query Def. Filter Value Selection - Values in Master Data Table
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn - Only Posted Values for navigation
Also the Value for display in the object are only 1000. This takes time only in analyzer not in designer.
What I have to do, plz suggest
Thanks
Neha

Query Definition Filter Value Selection

Hi BW Experts,
This is regarding a navigation attribute restriction while defining a query.
When we are defining a query on multiprovider / basic infocube and trying to put a restriction from the context menu on a navigation attribute,the screen is hanging and the fixed values for restriction are appearing after 5 to 6 minutes.
While it should not take so much time, it should ideally display it in few seconds.
This is happening for all the navigation attributes.
Please share if anybody has faced this problem before or any suggestions regarding any settings at Infoobject, Basic cube or Multiprovider level.
Any relevant input would be highly appreciated and appropriate points would be awarded.
Best Regards
Praval Trivedi

Hello Praval,
it is BW3.5 or BI7.0?
Webreports or Excel?
If Webreports check the command "Read Mode" in WAD -> NAVIGATIONBLOCK
-> Master Data Table = fast
-> Dimension Table = medium
-> Posted Values = slow
Check the InfoObjects
-> Business Explorer
-> Query Def. Filter Value Selection
-> Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn

BEX problem: F4 help to filter values of F4 value list at query execution

Hi all,
description of the problem we face:
at query execution the selection pop-up appears and "ask" for values. To select those values I try the F4 button and receive a long list of e.g. vendors. (Our vendors are compounded to a special characteristic due to several sources.) To select now several individual values from the list I choose the filter button and try to shorten the list by searching with values of the atributes, here by 0NAME of the vendor. From the result shown I choose one value compounded to a unique value of the special characteristic, there are values for vendors which are the same, but with different compound values and of course different meanings.
When I mark one vendor value shown with his compounded value in front of the row, I expect the compounded value will be transferred to the selection pop-up too, but it won't!!
Only the vendor is transferred, so the result of the query shows more information then wanted.
Any solutions for this?
Thank you in advance

Hi Guido,
I dont know any direct solution to your problem, a workaround is
May be add a variable on the Special characterstics, and ask users to enter the Special character also along with your Vendor Code.
As while selecting the vendor user already know special charater value, then can just enter it in Selection screen and restrict the output.
Thanks

F4 Help in Variable Screen during Query Execution

Hi All,
We are executing queries through WAD. The F4 help in the variable screen during query execution is taking a lot of time.
SAP note 661251 suggests changing the F4 mode to M. We need to change the booked value parameter.
I looked into the standard WAD web template but i'm not seeing any options/ooked value parameter.
Please suggest where I need to go to change the parameter. Thanks.
Regards,
Vivek

Not much experience in WAD but I think there should be a query in BEx Query Designer.
There you can choose that characteristics which takes time. Select "Advanced" tab from right hand side.
Under "Filter Value Selection During Query Execution" you will get 4 options.
BTW if you have a query on DSO then creating index ( secondary) on the affected characteristics would also resolve your problem

How can I reduce BEx Query execution time

Hi,
I have a question regarding query execution time in BEx.
I have a query that takes 45 mins to 1 hour to execute in BEx analyser. This query is run on a daily basis and hence I am keen to reduce the execution time. Are there any programs or function modules that can help in reducing query execution time?
Thanks and Regards!

Hi Sriprakash,
1.Check if your cube is performance tuned: in the manage cube from RSA1 / performance tab: check if all indexes and statistics are green. Aggregate IDx should as well be.
2.Condense your cubes regularly
3. Evaluate the creation of an aggregate with all characteristic used in the query (RSDDV).
4.Evaluate the creation of a "change run aggregate": based on a standalone NavAttr (without its basic char in the aggr.) but pay attention to the consequent change run when loading master data.
5. Partition (physically) your cubes systematically when possible (RSDCUBE, menu, partitioning)
6. Consider logical partitioning (by year or comp_code or ...) and make use of multiproviders in order to keep targets not too big...
7.Consider creating secondary indexes when reporting on ODS (RSDODS)
8.Check if the query runtime is due the master data read or the infoprovider itself, or the OLAP processor and/or any other cause in tx ST03N
9.Consider improving your master reads by creating customized IDX (BITMAP if possible and depending on your data) on master data table and/or attribute SIDs when using NAvs.
10.Check that your basis team did a good job and have applied the proper DB parameters
11.Last but not least: fine tune your datamodel precisely.
hope this will give you an idea.
Cheers

How Can I reduce Query Execution time with use of filter

Dear Experts,
In a query execution is faster when there is no product filter and these products can be a list contaning mare than 300 items.
I am using In operator for that filter.

Maybe if you posted the quer[y][ies] we could get a better idea.

Using Portal Variables in filter criteria of BEx Web App query string

Our BI 7 instance is connected to a NW2004 portal, where we have created SAP BW Report iViews to access templates created with the Web Application Designer. We would like to use some of the portal variables about the user to create filters for the BEx Web Application Query String.
The query string would have a set of parameters at the end that looks something like:
&FILTER_IOBJNM_1=0PLANT&FILTER_VALUE_1=<plant>
Where <plant> is a value stored in a portal variable.
Is it possible to do this in the SAP BW Report iView or will we have to code our own custom iView to pick up the variable values?
Cheers,
Lee Smith

Any one?

Query Execution plan

Hi,
I have a question about reading query execution plans. I don't understand what is meant by "Hash join" in a plan step. I understand "Nested_Loops" and "Merge_Join", but after looking at different documentations, I am still not clear about "Hash_Join". Please don't give links to Oracle documentation, because I have seen a lot of it, but it is still not clear. I also don't fully understand what is meant by a "Hash Table", what are all these "Hashesssssss"???
Please explain in your own words, if possible, and with the help of some example.
Thanks in Advance.,

user566817 wrote:
Can any one else answer my question? I would be highly thankful.Hash joins are one of the 3 techniques used by Oracle to join to sets of data.
As a brief, and very very crude overview
Generally after applying the filter to one data source, the join key is hashed into a memory table (as described by link sb provided). The second data set areas filtered and it's join key is also hashed, but the hash is used to find matches in the memory table created by the first data source. Assuming no hash chaining, found matches are joins; if hassh chaining exists, the chain needs to be traversed to verify joins.
This, of course, has a lot of holes which would be filled in by the documentation and by external links that you do not seem to want to use.

New Field at Query execution time.

Dear All,
I need some help in Bex User Exit.
My requirement is that, I require a new field in Bex report and that field is Flag(Change Flag).
the condition is that IF START DATE (CHAR) IS CURRENT MONTH (QUERY EXECUTION MONTH)
THEN FLAG SHOUD BE 'Y' ELSE SPACE.
I cannot put this field in Cube as for this the entire Data load logic need to be changed for this Flag.
I have created formula variable using Exit. But code is not working .
Can you please help in this.
Requirement:
If START DATE = CURRENT MONTH THEN FLAG = 'Y' ELSE SPACE ' '.
Thanks v much in advance.
Regards.

I am not sure if I got your question right but you can use virtual characteristics in the cube. You do not need to reload data and can assign the new characteristic in it's own dimension or include in any existing dimension. You will need to reactivate update rules though...
Let me know if it helps...!

Analyzer Query Execution vs. APD Query Execution

hi gurus,
i have a problem with an execution of a query in BI 7.0. the query is based on a DSO.
if i execute the query in bex analyzer, i get the result within 30 seconds.
but if i execute the query in an APD, it will take several hours to complete the job.
i checked the RSRT to view the query execution plan - here it is:
SELECT "O1"."COMP_CODE" AS "K____240" ,"O1"."RECONTRACT" AS "K____301" ,"O1"."FISCVARNT" AS "K____181"
,"O1"."/BIC/ZIMIMNPER" AS "K____535" ,"O1"."BUSENTITY" AS "K____237" ,"O1"."/BIC/ZIMIMGEBL" AS "K____1098"
, COUNT( * ) AS "Z____131" , SUM ( "O1"."/BIC/ZIMIK_113" ) AS "Z____1886" ,
SUM ( "O1"."/BIC/ZIMIK_183" ) AS "Z____1908" , SUM ( "O1"."/BIC/ZIMIK_201" ) AS "Z____1998"
FROM "/BIC/AZIMODSSM00" "O1"
WHERE
( ( ( ( "O1"."/BIC/ZIMIMNPER" = '2010009'
) ) AND ( ( "O1"."/BIC/ZIMIMZBR" IN ( 'BEQ' ,'REFX3' ,'REFX4' ,'REFX6') ) ) ) )
GROUP BY "O1"."COMP_CODE" ,"O1"."RECONTRACT" ,"O1"."FISCVARNT" ,
"O1"."/BIC/ZIMIMNPER" ,"O1"."BUSENTITY" ,"O1"."/BIC/ZIMIMGEBL"
but when i check the SQL statement for the APD in SM51, i found this statement:
SELECT   "S0000"."SID" ,"P0000"."COMP_CODE" ,"P0000"."BUSENTITY"
FROM   "/BI0/PBUSENTITY" "P0000" JOIN "/BI0/SBUSENTITY" "S0000" ON "P0000" . "BUSENTITY" = "S0000" . "BUSENTITY" AND "P0000" . "COMP_CODE" = "S0000" . "COMP_CODE"
WHERE   "P0000"."OBJVERS" = 'A' AND "S0000"."SID" IN ( SELECT "S"."SID" FROM "/BIC/AZIMODSSM00" "O" JOIN
"/BI0/SBUSENTITY" "S" ON "O" . "BUSENTITY" = "S" . "BUSENTITY" AND "O" . "COMP_CODE" = "S" .
"COMP_CODE" )
ORDER BY
"COMP_CODE" ASC , "BUSENTITY" ASC#
could you help me understanding the difference and the cause for it?
i think, there are some validitycheckings executed for masterdata!? is it possible to disable these steps?
here some more information:
in the query, i'm using two compound characteristics and an constant selection for a restricted keyfigure. the characteristics all have access type for result values: posted values.
regards,
philipp

Hello,
Check this note:
Note 751577 - APD-FAQ: Data source query
This note helps with the following problems:
Question 1: Query execution terminates or takes too long. What can I do?
Question 2: The data in the analysis process does not correspond with the data in the Business Explorer. What is the cause of this?
Question 3: When you execute the analysis process, the system issues error message B1 888: "For the ISO code &1 there is no unique SAP currency code for ALE". What does this mean?
Question 4: When you execute the analysis process, the system issues error message RSAN_WB 010 (CX_RSAN_SVC_CHECK_ANALYSIS_N=>NODE_FIELDNAME_NOT_UNQIUE). What does this mean?
