BW 7.0 - display of the global structures in the query designer

Hi colleagues,
When I open the gobal structures of an infoprovider in the query designer, the system shows me all levels of the structures; that is not clearly arranged.
It would be better, the system would show allways  only the next level.
Is there any idea ?
regards
Dieter Gerl

Hi,
I can think of three possibilities for a solution.
1. Store the name of the required table in a config table and select at runtime
2. use an 'IF' or 'CASE' statement to deterimine which system you are currently in and then place the required varible within this statement.
3. Preferred solution: use a Field Symbol to assign the table at run-time, this way no errors will occur and your program will compile.
There are many examples of FIELD SYMBOLS on SDN and even the F1 help in SAP.

  • Master data is not getting displayed in the Query Designer

    Hi,
    I have a DSO in which I have an InfoObject called Emp No. in the Data Field.
    The Emp.No is being maintained as master with (Emp Name, Address, Telephone No, DOB) as attributes.
    I have loaded the data in the Emp. No. master. Then tried loading the transaction data in DSO.
    The Emp.No is there in the DSO active data, but in the query designer its not getting displayed.
    Hope its clear.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have brought the Emp. No. in the Key Field and also have activate the master data again.
    Yet my Query Designer doesn't have the Emp. No.
    I have done a full load for both Master and Transaction.
    Please advice me what the other alternative.
    Thanks

  • 'Display as hierarchy' in the Query Designer

    Hi,
          Can anyone highlight some points or importance of 'display as hierarchy' in either rows or columns in the query designer. Also could someone put some thoughts on the 'new structure' in the query designer, is it just that we can create some new selection and new formula from the structure or is there any other explanation for its existence. Any kind of explanation would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Anjali.

    Hi Anjali,
    display as Hierarchies:
    simply enables you to select and use hierarchies for that InfoObject if available.
    Structures:
    you can create structures with or without keyfigures. Structures give you a great deal of flexibility and consistancy in your reports. Eg. you can create a structure that gives you a drilldown on char selections that are different for each line or column. We use that to "simulate" divisions in a drilldown that we don't have backed up by masterdata.
    Also structures enable you to keep reports consistant by using the same global structure eg. for all Contribution margin reports
    Hope that helped,
    regards,

  • How can i reuse a structure in the query designer in 3.5

    Hi all,
    we are using the version BW 3.5,  now how can i reuse a structure made int he query designer, because i need it in another query, i did the structure and put it a technical name and save, help guys

    HI Richard,
    Create a Structure in Rows/columns and save As it, then in the left Panel of the Query Designer you can see three Folders
    1) Structures
    2) Keyfigures
    3) Dimensions
    then Expand the structures Folder, there you can find your saved structure, Structures are 2 types
    1) With Key figures
    2) Without Key Figures
    If you have the key figures in your saved structure, then you can find it in the subfolder of with Keyfigures, else in the other folder.
    Now you can use this structure by draging in all the queries which are on the same InfoProvider (CUbe. MultiProvider)

    Hi..
    I have a scenario ...  it may help..
    The group HR administrator wants a detailed line item report that lists all employee absences in a given period. The report is to show the employee number, the absence start date, together with the end date of the absence and show the number of calendar days the employee was absent.
    The good thing about using this technique is that no redesign work is needed from your technical BW team, no ABAP is involved and best of all, it quick and easy.
    Solution:
    For this example I created an ODS object called Absence that holds basic employee information along with individual absence record data.
    Follow the steps below:
         Open the BEx Query Designer and create a new report on your chosen InfoProvider.
                  Drag the Employee, Valid from and Valid to characteristics into the Rows section of the screen.
    If needed, apply data selection restrictions to the characteristics as pop up
         Right click on the Key Figures structure and select New Formula
         In the new formula window right click on Formula Variable and choose New Variable
         The Variables Wizard will launch and will require you to specify the variable details.
    ( Click the NEXT button if the Introduction screen appears )
         Enter the variable details on the General Information as shown in  pop up
    Enter the Variable Name , Description and select Replacement Path in the Processing by field.
    Click the Next Button.
         In the Characteristic screen (pop up) select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date).
    Click the Next Button.
         The Save Variable screen (pop up) displays a summary of the new variable.
    Click on the Finish button to save the variable.
         Repeat steps first four  for to create a second variable for the second date to be used in the calculation.
    In the example shown, the characteristic 0DATETO is used to create the variable ABSEND (Absence End Date)
    Define the Calculation............
                The new calculated key figure will now show in the columns section of the BEx query designer
    excute...

  • Attribute not visible in the Query Designer

    Please help me its very urgent.
    Thanks & regards,

    Hi Anita,
    As you stated earlier that some users are able to see it and some are not then it surely is a Authorization/Profile issue. Speak to the BASIS/person who manages this to resolve the issue.

  • Providing access to Variables in the Query Designer

    Greetings experts and fellow consultants,
    I have a simple question, did a search and did not come up with much of an answer.  Currently, we have a system with a role for BI Power Users in order for them to create ad-hoc queries.  An issue we found was that these power users were not able to view variables within the query designer:
    Under the "Characteristic Restrictions" pane, the variables show up as (Display Not Allowed) under their associated InfoObjects.  This is presenting an issue (understandably) and I would like to provide access for these power users to see the variables.
    My question is, are there any circumstances where I would want to restrict which variables are shown to the power user?  Right now, I plan to allow display access to all variables (via S_RS_COMP+S_RS_COMP1 for those informed on Security).  Just trying to brainstorm on whether there might be scenerios where I would want to hide certain variables.
    Many thanks to all opinions, as always!

    Suresh, in my above post I knew how to enable this.  I just wanted to know in regards to security whether there were any exposures.  Apparently, I could not find any and the changes went through without issue.  The way you enable display of variables in the Query Designer is the following:
    S_RS_COMP:
    RSINFOAREA '*'
    RSINFOCUBE '*'
    RSZCOMPTP 'VAR'
    ACTVT '03'
    S_RS_COMP1:
    RSZCOMPTP 'VAR'
    RSZCOMPID '*'
    RSZOWNER '*'
    ACTVT '03'
    Hope this helps.  Of course, adjust the field values are you see fit but the minimum requirement is that RSZCOMOPTP 'VAR' (Variables) and ACTVT '03' (Display).

  • Restrict the values in the Query Designer

    Hi Guru’s,
    I want to Restrict PLANT or  SALES ORG  values in the Query Designer, in the Query, PLANT has selected in the rows and having variable and SALES ORG is display attribute of the PLANT. In this scenario How can we Restrict the values?
    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi Ravi,
    You cannot restrict values on the display attributes. Better change it to navigational attribute and check the box as navigational in the cube.

  • Keyfigure value by comparing 2 date fields, in the query designer.

    Hi all,
    Could any one please intimate, how to display the key figure result with the comparison of 2 date fields.
    We are having "Completed Date" say(CDATE) and "Deadline Date"(DDATE) values in the report as time characteristics, dervied from the CRM system.
    Now we need to compare the values as:
    CDATE <= DDATE, then only consider this under "Meeting Planned Date"(Key Figure).
    Could you please intimate, how to display the key figure value, by using the code at  the query designer level.
    Thanks & Regards,
    A.V.N.Rao

    Hi Rao,
    Simple create two formula variables with replacement path from these two date fileds,then create a formula then do the comparison
    Eg:
    ZVAR_CDATE  WITH REPLACEMENT PATH PROCESSING TYPE REPLACED WITH OBJ CDATE
    ZVAR_DDATE  WITH REPLACEMENT PATH PROCESSING TYPE REPLACED WITH OBJ DDATE
    CREATE A FORMULA FORMULA1: IN THE FORMULA BUILDER AREA DO THE COMPARISON.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Moving keyfgures to some other place in the query designer

    Hi
    I have lot of Keyfigures in the Query Designer (Columns). How can i move some other place in the query designer.
    Like We can move some of characteristics to "Free Charactersitic" area . Like that how can i move some of keyfigures to some other area.
    pls let me know
    kumar

    You can have all KeyFigures together either in columns or Rows(in a  structure)..not possible to seperate them...or place them in Free chars or Filters...and not possible to group Chars and Kfs in the same structure.

  • Some question about the query designer

    hello, dear all,
    I am a new comer of here, and I am intersting in BI, but I have no basic knowledge about it.
    so I just want someone could give me some advice about it.
    our boss need I do the developer about the query designer,  I just have searched in this forum. but nothing founded for I am a new comer here,
    I heard there are some training document of the query designer, could someone give me the URL, thanks.

    Hi,
    Query desinger is used to develop a Query, Query can be created on following data targets
    -Info Cube
    -DSO
    Virtual data target
    -MultiCube
    -Infoset
    -Multiprovider
    We have 5 section in query designer
    - Infoprovider : where we select the data target , on which report to be created
    -Filter : to restrict value at infoprovider level ( if you want data for year 2008, for example)
    -Free Characterstic : this allow you to drill down
    -Columns : char/keyfigs to be display in columns can be added here
    Row: key/char to be display in Rows can be added here
    gv me ur mailid i will let u have Bex manual,
    I would suggest , if you have any IDES ( training ) system , where you can log in and then go to RRMX,
    and try to create new query and add any data target ( which is already created ) and then drag and drop the char/key fig to the required section ,
    save it and execute it .....
    if you play arround and see the output , that would help u to understand how to work with query designer.
    Hope this helps
