Business Query designer

Hi All
I try to see Bex Queries in Business Objects Designer. Bex 7.0
Trouble : I try to click on the click box : Allow external queries in the Tab More (sorry I have them in German, so the translation is not perfect)
and the click box is greyed (disabled)
Any help will be welcomed
Thanks in advance
Vince

Hi Santosh
Thanks for your reply regarding the Business Query Designer Problem. I'm taking charge of the issue made by Vincent_BO.
I think you missunderstood our Problem.
It has nothing to do with the Language Configuration. When we create a new Query in Query Designer, it is possible to cross the Flag: "Allow External Access for this Query" under the right Panel: Options, register: advanced. ->please give me your email adress to send you the print screen of this configuration. Or is it possible to add a picture to this forum?
Now the problem is:
When we open an existing Query (from Bex) this Flag is disabled. (Please have a look on the following print screen again)
How can we enable this flag? we allready tried to copy a existing Query but the flag is still disabled. Is it possible to change this configuration directly on the database? which field in wich table would this be?
Thans so much for your help!!

Can Business Object Access Queries from the BI query designer?

Hi Gurus,
I've started working with BOBJ and honestly I'm not impressed with it's functionalities, specially with the report layouts (SO many limitations!!). Anyway I was wondering if Business Objects can access BI Queries in the Query Designer since I can do most of the manupilation in Query Designer that I need. Thank You in advance and any help will be most certainly appreciated.

Hello KIT,
Also, look at the below Blog for xcelsius where he directly consumes the BEx query the QUERY_VIEW_DATA Web service out of the BW system. This is one way to approach the BEx query:

Hi,
I am running a Query in internet explorer from Query Designer...When i drag and drop infoobjects certain infoobjs description i need to change as per requirements...and when i run the query from query designer it opens in a internet explorer only but i get some warning messages saying that "description for so and so infoobject is changed" but no doubt i get the report correctly... Please tell me how to suppress the warning messeges...
i tried rsrt transaction to suppress results as one option is there to suppress results but when i run that transaction its throwing dump...
please tell me anyother way to resolve this...

Hi Vijaya,
Do you get those messages each time your run the query? In RSRT you have the option to suppress message, not results...is this what you were referring to?

Authorization in BEx Query Designer: "read only" for definitions of variables

Hello,
I`m developing a concept of authorizations for key user who should be able to maintain certain
objects in the query designer. For other objects they should have access “read only”.
The users have authorizations to design new queries. They should be able to use existing variables
(SAP Business Content ( 0*) and customer variables (z*). On this point, I have a problem: in the selection window of the query designer there are only buttons to create, to delete and to edit a variable.
The user must have authorizations for changing, although he just wants to look for the definition
of a variable (if he wants to see their basic or global settings before using the variable).
I can´t find a possibility to switch from “edit” to “read only”.
The users should only see and apply variables from others (SAP, collegues), but he mustn´t be able to
change them.
The user needs the following authorization objects: S_RS_COMP , activity =02 (change), also
authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If I give the users only activity 03 (display),
the user get the message: “display not allowed”.
Is there any possibility to give a key user the authorization to display all variables with
their definitions?
Best regards
Ricarda Seyb

Hi raghukan,
This is may be due to the authorization but still you can check the consistency check for these queries using RSRV.

Division in bex query designer

Hi experts,
I have a strange problem in bex query designer. I am trying to calculate margin in % but the calculation gives the wrong result.
The two figures I try to calculate are -25124 and -91248 (figures in 1000 NOK)
The result should be (-25124/-91248)100 = 27,53* (when formula entered in excel)
I have tried the following in Bex query designer
-25124 %A -91248 = -0,02753%
(-25124/-91248)*100 = 0,02753
What might be the problem here?

Thanks again for your answer,
I will try to explain my report (requirement from the business user)
Actual (KF)----
Budget (KF)
Sales-- -91248--
-77153
FSP-- -25124--
-18918
Margin % -
(FSP Actual/Sales Actual) 100---(FSP Budget/Sales Budget)100
Dim
Dim
Result
The margin is calculated in the cells in the bex query designer to differentiate between actual and budget. There is no option to calculate the margin in the columns as this would influence all other rows aswell.

Difference between aggregation and calculation tab in BEx Query Designer

HI,
I am using BEx Query Designer for my report, for the key figures in the coloumn area i slected one numeric key figures, in the properties tab i found aggregation tab and calculation tab.
I need to sum up the total values for that particualar coloumn, when i used calculation tab i found to sum all the values for a particular coloumn, then what is the use the aggreagation tab?
I not able to used that Aggregation tab it is showing as a hidden fields...
can any one tell me whats the exact difference between these tabs and when we need to use which tab?
With Regards,
Thanesh Kumar.

Hi Thanesh Kumar,
I moved this thread from forum Data Warehousing to Business Explorer since it is a query related question (as SDN moderator).
I could explain to you the difference between these two tabs.
For "calculation" tab, it changes the display of result and does not change the calculation logic.
It means that, if this key figure is used further in formula, still the original number (without "calculation" tab setting) is used for further formula calculation.
For "aggregation" tab, it changes the real calculation logic.
The system takes the setting as the aggregation rule for records.
The most common aggregation rule is of course summation. If you set to e.g. Average here, the system does the
Average instead of summation when aggregating records. And the Average value will be taken for calculation
in further formulas or other calculations.
For "aggregation" tab, you could only use it for CKF (calculated key figure) or formula and you could not use it for
a basic key figure. That should be the reason why you see it greyed-out.
Regards,
Patricia

Constant Selection in BEx Query Designer on BI7

Hi guys
According to this blog <a href="/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/19/the-hidden-secret-of-constant-selection Selection</a>, we can create constant selection on both Characteristics and Key figures. I understand how to do it with restricted key figures.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to create constant selection for a Characteristic in BEx Query Designer on BI7. I can't find options for 'constant selection'
Or is this the same thing when you include or exclude values?
Message was edited by:
jimi ogun

Thanks Krishna
I am actually using a Multiprovider for my queries but business requirements mean I need to create joins.
I am trying to avoid Infosets and I believe another way is to use the Constant Selection feature in Query Designer.
Going back to my previous posting, I know how this is done with a restricted KF but I don't know how when it comes to characteristics.
Can anyone help?

Can Power Users or Mgt Create and Design Reports Through Query Designer ?

Dear BI consultants,
Iam new to BI.
My management has requested me to Train Power users from All Modules(FICO,HR,QM,PP,SD,MM) to Create Queries and Design Through Query Designer.
My question is are we suppose to Give query Designer Access to Power users or Mgt so that they can create Queries and reports by themselves.Please Suggest me wht is the Best Practices.
is it feasable to train power users and Mgt as to how 2 create queries. will there be any side effect on the System or our end.
Plz suggest.
wht are the advantages and disadvantages of this.
If I train the Power users then is there any risk of my Job.
since they will be creating all reports by themselves.
wht else can a BI consultant do since iam in a support project.
how do i convince my Mgt?
Plz Suggest.
Thanks Awaiting

This is common procedure maintained in most of the company's for end users.
There is no issue if you train the power users.you will be the first point of contact if they have any doubts.and more over you are supporting for your client right? this can't be handed over to power user or end user. data is imp for the client so there will not be any problem for you, if any issue comes while loading you need to take care of the errors and fix the.
power users or end user will be familiar with Business requirement not with the Query building logic's not with the BW procedure so no worries for you.
as vineeth said its better to keep control regarding the global and key things at your end so that you will not loose contol on the reports.

Grouping Free Characteristics in Query Designer?

Hello,
I have a couple reports that per busniess have many free characteristics. So many that that they do not fit on one page and you must continue scrolling the page down to view all. This makes the report look sloppy but the business owner wants all of these free characteristics. I'm looking for a way to clean up the list of free characteristics without removing any selections. Can they be grouped up or consolidated through Query Designer or WAD?
Thank You,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Actually use of free characteristic will not slow down the report performance rather free characteristics are used to enable the user for dynamic drilldown and to improve the query performance for initial output display.
What you can suggest your users is to keep only required free characteristics and then remove the rest of the characteristics and from grouping perspective all the free characteristics in query designer output are shown alphabetically so you can not manipulate the group in designer.

Durgesh.

Hide a row or column for characteristic value # in Query Designer

Hi gurus,
I would if we could hide a result row / column if one of the characteristic value is #. The requirement is actually to remove the meaningless row / column from the whole result set. For example, I have a char Material Group in the column. Since not every Material is assigned to a Material Group, I will get the following layout:
Material_Group A
Material_Group B
Material_Group C
Is it possible to define in query designer so that the column with # will automatically not be displayed?
Thanks,
Meng

Hi Meng,
I guess we have the same users..
But there is one thing that is going to make a non sense on the report: if you do not display the "#" for material group, then the total of your query by material group will not be the summation of what is displayed on the screen...and if the user explort the information in Excel (pretty sure they will do so), you will have some calls that your query does not balance....
Based on that assumption, tell the users to assign a material group to the materials, so that this unassigned column disappears. You could even give them a control report listing all the parts that do not have a material group
If this is a standard business rule not to have a material group for all parts, then, what you could do is to change the text for empty rows for Material group, then the "#" will disappear and wil be under the text description you defined.
But keep in mind that your data is made of materials which do not have a material group in their definition, noraml or not ?

Query potal limits the Row in Query designer

Hi All,
When i am executing the query in Query designer 7 it is showing as 4 or 5 columns only. We need to show the complete report.Everytime we are clicking on next page and going forward. Because of this reason we are going for WAD.
Is there any alternate solution where we can show the maximum number of row in the first time execution itself??
Thanks in Advance
