BW 7.0 - Technical names in query designer

Hi colleagues,
is there any possibility to set an default value for the technical names in the query designer. Every time I open the query designer, the system shows me only the "text" for the query elements and not the key.
regards
Dieter Gerl

The "functional enhancement schedule" document now describe the single query refresh within a workbook to be available in Stack 14.
The link also need to be check very often. (I got a version 12.3 from 08/06/2007 which planned enhancement to SPS13 whereas version 12.5 from 28/06/2007 plan it to SPS14)

  • Find technical name of query if only internal is given (and delete it)

    Hello,
    a query has a readable name like "Invoice for north pole customers", a technical name like "Z_MM_CUST_NPOLE" and an generated internal name like "4BUI9VVDT8A057L8G3BQ4IN4G".
    When I search which queries belong to an old multiprovider, I only get the internal query names like "4BUI9VVDT8A057L8G3BQ4IN4G". I cannot search with this internal name in the BEx Query Designer nor can I search there using the InfoArea folder (I can only find one query instead of two queries).
    How do I find the technical name like "Z_MM_CUST_NPOLE"?
    Apart from that, I cannot delete the query in the BEx Query Designer ("Delete" is inacitve (gray)).
    The query seems corrupt. Can I delete a query in the SAP GUI (rsa1 or something like this)?
    Best regards
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    You can delete the Query in BIW GUI by using T Code RSZDELETE.
    After that u get a screen where u enter the
    Type :- REP
    Object Version :-A
    Technical Name as :-"The Tech name of the Query"
    Leave the other Rows Blank.

  • Field description in chart legend instead of technical name (BW query)?

    I am building a report from a BW query. The report has a grouping field and a bar chart in the group footer. When I execute the report the legend shows the technical name of the key figures even though I checked the "Show description" field in the "options".
    I can change the labels in "preview" mode (provided I can guess the real names), but just like in the field explorer I would prefer to always have the text instead of the nonsense technical name.
    Is this possible?

    hello all,
    you can use a 2 chart workaround for this.
    1) the first chart is the Group chart you already have...just disable the legend
    2) now create an Advanced chart using the description field as the On Change Of
    3) set the Order of chart to correspond with the technical field that the group is based on
    4) preview the chart and right click on the x axis area and format the axis so nothing is showing
    5) do the same for the y axis
    6) keep right clicking on all of the chart objects and changing them to transparent
    sounds annoying, is annoying, but it works.
    cheers,

  • Technical name for formula in query designer

    Hi,
    We have created some formulas in Query Designer.
    We tried to assign the technical names to these existing formulas, it goes away as the save button on the top of the pop up is disabled.
    Is there a way to assign technical names of the formulas created in the query designer.
    Regards,
    Charu

    Charu Pandey,
    Formulas are local, means available for particular queries only. No technical name.
    Create Calculated keyfigures instead of formulas..., so you can save with technical names.
    To display technical name in query, give discription same as technical name.
    Hope it Helps

  • How to check a query element based on the technical name of a query builde?

    We often see, e.g., 401OQ2EEM5EJH4GQ5N2HFNE7P as a query element of a query builder.  How to know what kind of InfoObj. or R2R link it would be base on the long technical name?  We remember there is a table to look these up, what's the table name and how to look for it's description name?
    Thanks

    hi Ari,
    The table you recommend seems to only work for Report to Report link, but not for query element, is there any other table that we can find which InfoObj. is used for this long technical name in query?
    Thanks and we have given you rewards points.

  • Change technical name of queries and views

    Hi everybody,
    I need to copy a query with its query views. The problem is that I want to give a new name for each query and each view. And the views will belong to the new query.
    Is that possible, or should I copy the query and define the views again?

    let say u r in query designer.
    than hit the menu tab and select the first tab i.e. QUERY.
    now in that choose the option SAVE AS.
    it willask you for new name and new technical name.
    (the query will still be saved in ur multiprovider.)
    for views u have to define new views for ur new query

  • Change Technical Name

    Hi Gurus,
    Any way to change the technical name of a RKF or a CKF?
    When I right click on the context menu of any RKF and open the Edit/Properties, I do not see the Tech name editable.
    Any chance?
    Manesh.

    Hello Manesh,
    You can change the technical name of CKF and RKF from the table: RSZELTDIR & RSZCOMPDIR
    In the table RSZCOMPDIR, Change COMPID (Technical name of Query elements will be stored here)
    and also do make changes in the table RSZELTDIR
    In the selection of table use RSZELTDIR - DEFTP = CKF/SET
    then RSZELDIR - MAPNAME represents the calculated keyfigure or restricted keyfigure.
    Changing the value of MAPNAME will change the technical name.
    I hope this information helps.

  • Query Designer: Technical names activated as default

    Hello everybody!
    I work with the Query Designer v3.5. How can I switch on the technical names automatically. At the moment I must click on the menu item.
    Regards, Thomas

    Thomas,
    The Technical Names icon is an on/off option. Once you turn it on it stays on til you hit it again.
    This applies in the Query Designer, dialogue box for Open - Queries & Workbooks etc.

  • How to find the link between strcture and query technical name

    Hi Guru's
    How to find the link between Strcture in the query and query technical name. In other way where used list of the structure  used in queries?
    I know we have table called RSZELTDIR which have the values of strcuture name. from here i do not find any link to query technical name.
    Please can anyone help me?
    Regards,
    Sirisha

    Hi ,
    For structure and query relationship, the structure has to be a reusable structure( a global one). Then you can right click in on the structure name (in BEX query designer) and select the where used list. You will find all the query names where it is being used.
    U can also check out tables RSRREPDIR and RSZCOMPDIR for other query properties.
    Thanks,

  • Is It  POSSIBLE to change the Technical Name of Z-version Query

    Hi  Friends ,
    I was changed all quereis and cube from standard version to Z version.
    For queries, by using rszc , i was changed to Zversion,Now again is it
    possible to change the Technical Name of Zversion Query ?
    If possible , can you please tell me the process ?

    Hi Hameed,
    This may be the reason you are getting an error.
    The target InfoCube, the InfoCube for the query copies, must contain all the InfoObjects of the source InfoCube (InfoCube of the original queries).
    The another reasons may be the copying of queries within the same cube shouldn't be done by RSZC.
    It's better to approach the Bex Query designer.
    Hope you understood..

  • Bex Query calc key figures in Crystal report not showing technical names.

    Hi,
    I have created calculated key figures in a BEx query for which the data comes from a SAP BW cube. I have assigned each of the calculated key figures a proper technical name which I expect to see when I bring it to crystal report. When I bring that query in Crystal as a data source the calculated key figures show a wier network id names instead of the technical names. I am having a problem in using those wierd technical name in my report and my formula's as I am not able to identify what is what.
    Please urgent help requested.
    Thanks
    Mahendra

    I dont have an account on such website. I will explain u the problem in detail.
    When I create a calculate key figure in SAP BEx query designer I assigned a technical name to it, a meaningful one. In my case one such example is Actual_revenue is the name that i have assigned and the description is Actual revenue. When I create a crystal report from it and in that report if i create a formula.
    I get this {ZIC_COPA_Z_SALES.[Measures]-[25V1KYL4VE92X0T4OMHVYM90V]}
    If u see it its a wier 25 digit name.
    Instead of this I want to see
    {ZIC_COPA_Z_SALES.[Measures]-[ACTUAL_REVENUE]} which is what I have given in the query. I am using the SAP BW MDX driver to connect to Bex query.

  • Query Displaying Technical Name instead of Description

    Hello,
      Is there a setting in query designer that would cause the query technical name to display when the query is executed instead of the query description?  I am using BEx 3.5.  When I Save As the query to a different technical name and execute the description shows.  I would like the description to show as it does with all other queries.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Tina

    Hi Tina,
    For me the most convienent way is to create a text variable with customer exit, not ready for input.
    Assign this variable to Query description in properties of query. So you can be sure to see the current
    technical name after saving  the query again,  without any additonal actions.
    You could even combine this variable with any description desired.
    Assuming variable created is  Z_COMPID,  please add code as follows to user exit:
    WHEN 'Z_COMPID'.
          L_S_RANGE-LOW  = I_S_RKB1D-COMPID.
          L_S_RANGE-SIGN     = 'I'.
          L_S_RANGE-OPT      = 'EQ'.
          APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
    Regards

  • How to change Query Description/Technical name of a query

    <i><b>Hi</b></i> I have couple of questions with Query name changing.
    <b>1)Is it possible to change the Technical name of a query?
    If Yes how?
    2)I could change the description of a query but when the same query is saved in a role how to change its description?</b>
    <i><b>Thanks
    Ajay</b></i>

    hi,
    open your query in query designer and use button 'save as' then you can change name description.
    Remember that when you change technical name it will be completely new query and you will have to add it to your role.
