Calculated or restricted kf

hi i need query like
Employee Group     Employee Sub Group      Personal Data Attribute (disability)     Full Time     Part Time FTE
i kept employee group sub group disability at rows and full and part time at columns
no i want calculate
Disability      Number      %
Yes
No
please let me know how can i calculate this one now

hi
i want use disability like this
then how can go for this
here number of employees is equall to number of full time employees + number of part time employees
then how can i go for this requirement
Number of disabled employees divided by the total number of staff x 100.
The employees to be calculated by a head count (a part-time employee counts the same as a full-time employee)
Number of disable included should be those with an employment contract who are being paid by the local authority at a specific given date.
The count should count the number of employees rather than the number of jobs/post.
Those employees who work more than one job should be counted separately.
The totals are calculated up to and including a specified date.

Bringing in Calculated and Restricted Key Figs

How do I bring in calculated and restricted key figs from one query to another in BI 7.0? When I created these key figs it said that they were reusable.
Thanks

Hello Atif
When you make CKF or RKF at query level which means right hand side in your column these are local to your query and not useable.....but when you make them global by defining in left hand side they can be reused in other query....so when u willl create another query...these CKF and RKF will be available...just drag and drop them they will work
Thanks

Unable to save calculated and restricted keyfigures

hi all,
I am facing a strange problem where in , even though i try to save a calculated or a restricted key figure with a unique name the system throws a warning saying "the name already exists" and wouldn't allow me to save the CKF or RKF.
Any pointers to slove this problem would be appreciated.

Hi
Yes , If you create the restricted or calculated keyfigure and save it with the Technical name
then you cannot use it again though you try to create in other info provider.
You can create the RKF or CKF with the Technical name only once, You cannot use the same
Technical name again to create RKF or CKF on other data providers.

Using Explorer with Calculated Key Figures from BEx (BW 7.31 / BI 4.1)

I'm looking for suggestions on how to leverage data from calculated and restricted key figures in BEx (from a BW 7.31 system) with Business Objects Explorer (from a BI 4.1 system). Our current process involves some complicated workarounds and with the implementation of BI 4.1 and I'm hoping to streamline things a bit.
Here is what I had in mind...
An information space (indexed daily) sitting on a universe (hopefully UNX) that referred to a BEx query on a multiprovider in BW. My understanding was that universes would be able to consume BEx queries (including their restricted and calculated key figures) in 4.1. Based on a recent post (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3417905), it appears that the feature that I was hoping for may have not made it into the GA release. Obviously, I could move the calculations and restrictions into BW ETL or maybe into the universe, but since that work has already been done and lives in the queries, I'm hoping to use them! Also, we could use a different tool such as WebI, but at this point the user base is comfortable with Explorer and we would like to continue to use it.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
-S

Hi McDowell,
Regarding to the BEx connection in Explorer, SAP provide two solution
1. BWA connection
2. Unv on top of connection
For the UNV situation, you could use the calculated / restricted key figure in the system but please assgin the aggregation level for them (Database delegate is not supported if I am not wrong)
Also plese consider two points
1. Data size (UNV cannot support large data size)
2. Scheduling (Explorer does not support event trigger? correct me if I am wrong)
Best regards

How to improve query performance built on a ODS

Hi,
I've built a report on FI_GL ODS (BW3.5). The report execution time takes almost 1hr.
Is there any method to improve or optimize th query performance that build on ODS.
The ODS got huge volume of data ~ 300 Million records for 2 years.
Thanx in advance,
Guru.

Hi Raj,
Here are some few tips which helps you in improving ur query performance
Checklist for Query Performance
1. If exclusions exist, make sure they exist in the global filter area. Try to remove exclusions by subtracting out inclusions.
2. Use Constant Selection to ignore filters in order to move more filters to the global filter area. (Use ABAPer to test and validate that this ensures better code)
3. Within structures, make sure the filter order exists with the highest level filter first.
4. Check code for all exit variables used in a report.
5. Move Time restrictions to a global filter whenever possible.
6. Within structures, use user exit variables to calculate things like QTD, YTD. This should generate better code than using overlapping restrictions to achieve the same thing. (Use ABAPer to test and validate that this ensures better code).
7. When queries are written on multiproviders, restrict to InfoProvider in global filter whenever possible. MultiProvider (MultiCube) queries require additional database table joins to read data compared to those queries against standard InfoCubes (InfoProviders), and you should therefore hardcode the infoprovider in the global filter whenever possible to eliminate this problem.
8. Move all global calculated and restricted key figures to local as to analyze any filters that can be removed and moved to the global definition in a query. Then you can change the calculated key figure and go back to utilizing the global calculated key figure if desired
9. If Alternative UOM solution is used, turn off query cache.
10. Set read mode of query based on static or dynamic. Reading data during navigation minimizes the impact on the R/3 database and application server resources because only data that the user requires will be retrieved. For queries involving large hierarchies with many nodes, it would be wise to select Read data during navigation and when expanding the hierarchy option to avoid reading data for the hierarchy nodes that are not expanded. Reserve the Read all data mode for special queriesu2014for instance, when a majority of the users need a given query to slice and dice against all dimensions, or when the data is needed for data mining. This mode places heavy demand on database and memory resources and might impact other SAP BW processes and tasks.
11. Turn off formatting and results rows to minimize Frontend time whenever possible.
12. Check for nested hierarchies. Always a bad idea.
13. If "Display as hierarchy" is being used, look for other options to remove it to increase performance.
14. Use Constant Selection instead of SUMCT and SUMGT within formulas.
15. Do review of order of restrictions in formulas. Do as many restrictions as you can before
calculations. Try to avoid calculations before restrictions.
17. Turn off warning messages on queries.
18. Check to see if performance improves by removing text display (Use ABAPer to test and validate that this ensures better code).
19. Check to see where currency conversions are happening if they are used.
20. Check aggregation and exception aggregation on calculated key figures. Before aggregation is generally slower and should not be used unless explicitly needed.
21. Avoid Cell Editor use if at all possible.
22. Make sure queries are regenerated in production using RSRT after changes to statistics, consistency changes, or aggregates.
23. Within the free characteristics, filter on the least granular objects first and make sure those come first in the order.

Query takes long time on multiprovider

Hi,
When i execute a query on the multiprovider, it takes very long time. it doesnt show up the results also. It just keep processing. I have executed the report only for one day but still it doesnt show any result. But when i execute on the cube, it executes quickly and shows the result.
Actually i added one more cube to the multiprovider and ten transported that multiprovider to QA and PRD. Transportation went on successfully. After this i am unalbe to execute the reports on that multiprovider. What might be the cause? your help is appreciated.
Thanks

23. Within the free characteristics, filter on the least granular objects first and make sure those come first in the order.
24. Leverage characteristics or navigational attributes rather than hierarchies. Using a hierarchy requires reading temporary hierarchy tables and creates additional overhead compared to characteristics and navigational attributes. Therefore, characteristics or navigational attributes result in significantly better query performance than hierarchies, especially as the size of the hierarchy (e.g., the number of nodes and levels) and the complexity of the selection criteria increase.
25. If hierarchies are used, minimize the number of nodes to include in the query results. Including all nodes in the query results (even the ones that are not needed or blank) slows down the query processing. The u201Cnot assignedu201D nodes in the hierarchy should be filtered out, and you should use a variable to reduce the number of hierarchy nodes selected.

How Many SAP BW BEx Queries can be embedded in a Universe

Hi,
I need to create 5 reports based on five different SAP BW BEx Queries. These are charts with 3- axes i.e. X,Y,Z.
The example requirement is to create Line charts (Vertical Mixed Line Charts) and deatils are as follows: The chart should show CPU Utilization % for different servers (eg. Servers1,2,3,4,5) for each day in a particular month.
Axes details:
X- Axis - Date eg: 01 /09/2010 to 30/09/2010
Y-Axis - CPU Utilisation Percent
Z-Axis - Servers from 1 to 5
The above detailed chart comes from a BEx Query . In this way there are four more BEx queries which should give four other charts.
My query is: Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe and Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report.
(All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel)
One more, should I use Web intelligence only? Is any other tool that helps for this requirement.
Please advise.
Nanda Kishore.
Edited by: Nanda Kishore B on Oct 13, 2010 4:17 PM

Answers for your qns:
Is this possible to have five different BEx queries in a single Universe ?? NO
Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report. ?? YES
All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel ?? Possible- YES
should I use Web intelligence only? *WebI * or Data Federator
Nanda Kishore,
As you are in SAP BI, I suggest you to go with BO Universe==>>WebI or DataFederator.
Solution for your problem:
Sol1 : Why you are creating 5 BEx queries?? Is there any calculations or restrictions??
YES, then Design 5 Universes for each BEx query.
@ WebI Report: Develop report/chart based on Universe-1 and in BO query panel click on Add Query and do it for 4 other Universes.
Save all Charts in single report. (After running second time query, it will prompt for 3 opt's: 1. Insert new report 2. Insert data with in the existing report 3. Indulge objects without creating new report )
Here, go with Opt:2 or Opt3 or opt:1, no problem. And develop all Charts in single report by just dragging & dropping chart type and objects to it.
Now your problem solved.
Sol2: If no need of 5 BEx queries: Just drag all the Characteristics, Keyfigures and other what you want for Charting.
@Designer: Design Universe on top of this BEx master query.
@ Report : use this Universe and drag objects to 5 diff charts.
Hope you got it.
Thank You!!

Reporting on master data customer and bad performances : any workaround ?

Hello,
I've been asked to investiguate on bad performances encountered when performing reporting
on the specific master data zcustomer.
Basically this master data has a quite similar design that 0customer, there are 96000 entries in the master data table.
A simple query has been developed : the reporting is done on the master data zcustomer and its attributes : no key figure, no calculation, no restriction ...
Nevertheless, the query can not be executed .. the query runs around 10 minute in rsrt, then the private memory is exhausted and then a short dump is generated.
I tried to buid a very simple query on 0customer, this time, without the attributes ... and it took more than 30 sec before I get the results.
I checked the queries statistics :
3.x Analyzer Server 10 sec
OLAP: Read Texts : 20 sec
How is it that it is so long to performthe reporitng on those master data, while in the same time If i try to display the content in SAP by choosing "maintain master data", I have an immediate answer.
I there any workaround ?
Any help would be really appreciated.
thank you.
Raoul

Hi.
How much data have you got in the cube?
If you make no restrictions, you are asking the system to return data for all 96.000 customers. That is one thing that might take some time.
Also, using the attributes of this customer object, fx making selection or displaying several of them, means that the system has to run through the 96.000 records in masterdata to know what goes where in the report.
When you display the masterdata, you are by default displaying just the 250 or so first hits, and you are not joining against any cube or sorting the result set, so that is fast.
You should make some kind of restriction on other things than zcustomer (time, org.unit, version, etc, to limit the dataset from the cube, but also a restriction on one of the zcustomer attribs, with an index for that maybe, and performance should improve.

SAP BI CKF,RKF descrptions are not reflecting in the universe

Dear Gurus,
I have couple of questions
1.I have created a BI quey with 2 calculated keyfigures and 2 Restricted keyfigures. When i am creating a universe on top of the BI query, Desrptions for Calculated and Restricted keyfigures are not reflecting in the universe, Rather the universe is showing UID(unique ID)'s of the CKF and RKF.
To get the descriptions into the universe, Do i need to do any settings?
2. In one of the documents I have read that we have to create one universe for one language if i want to see the report in Multiple languages. if it is so,
Do i need to create universe in each and every language or is there any option that i can create the universe in one language and replicate into the required languages?
Please help.
Thanks and Regards

Hello Jagadeesh,
I recommend to post this query to the [Integration Kits - SAP|BusinessObjects Integration Kits; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all SAP Kit queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Hi ingo,
do you see the desriptions in items like the RSA1 ? - I can able to see the descrptions of Calculated keyfigure and Restricted keyfigure in the query designer and as well as in Bex analyzer.
did you use the same language when building the universe connection ? - Yes I have created the connection and universe in English Language.

What are the best design requisites for a Query design?

Hi Guru's
Could you please let me know,which item will execute first when you run a query,I mean Calculated keyfigure,restricted keyfigure or formula e,t,c...How does it effects the Query performance?What are the design requisites to optimise better query performance?
Thanks in advance,
rgds,
Srini.

Hi Srinivas....
The design of queries can have a significant impact on the performance.
Sometimes long running queries are the result of poor design, not just the amount
of data. There are a number of design techniques that developers can use to
provide optimal query performance.
For example, in most cases characteristics should be placed in the rows and key
figures in the columns. A characteristic should only be used in the columns in
certain circumstances (like time). Characteristics having potentially many values
(such as 0MATERIAL) must not be added to the columns without a filter or
variables. Alternatively, it can be integrated into the query as a free characteristic
enabling it to be used in navigation.
If a relatively detailed time characteristic, such as calendar day (0CALDAY) is
added to the rows, the more aggregated time characteristics (such as calendar
month (0CALMONTH)) and calendar year (0CALYEAR) should also be included
in the free characteristics of the query. For most reports, a current period of time
(current month, previous or current calendar year) is useful. For this reason, the
use of variables is particularly relevant for time characteristics.
To improve query performance
1) Variables and drop down lists can improve query performance by making the
data request more specific. This is very important for queries against Data Store
Objects and InfoSets, which are not aggregated like InfoCubes.
2) When using restricted key figures, filters or selections, try to avoid the Exclusion
option if possible. Only characteristics in the inclusion can use database indexes.
Characteristics in the exclusion cannot use indexes.
3) When a query is run against a MultiProvider, all of InfoProviders in that
MultiProvider are read. The selection of the InfoProviders in a MultiProvider
query can be controlled by restricting the virtual characteristic 0INFOPROVIDER
to only read the InfoProviders that are needed. In this way, there will be no
unnecessary database reads.
4) Defining calculated key figures at the InfoProvider level instead
of the query level will improve query runtime performance, but may add
time for data loads.
5) Cell calculation by means of the cell editor generates separate queries at query
runtime. Be cautious with cell calculations.
6) Customer-specific code is necessary for virtual key figures and characteristics.
Check Code in Customer Exits.
7)Using graphics in queries, such as charts, can have a performance impact.
Hope this helps.........

Query Performance - Query very slow to run

I have built a query to show payroll costings per month per employee by cost centres for the current fiscal year. The cost centres are selected with a hierarchy variable - it's quite a latrge hierarchy. The problem is the query takes ages to run - nearly ten minutes. It's built on a DSO so I cant aggregate it. Is there anything I can do to improve performance.

Infocube Design question

Hi, experts
We have two infocube and we need to know which is best option for customer. First infocube was designed with eleven (11) characteristics and three (3) key figures, the other one with four (4) characteristics and forty-three (43) key figures. Both infocube upload data from the same source correctly, but we need to know wich design is best for performing?

Tokio,
Without knowing the characteristics and key figures is a bit complicated to tell.
But, i guess that if you use first option, you'll need to create calculated and restricted key figures in the queries.
In the second case, i guess you make those calculations and restrictions in the data loading (transformation or rules). Then, in the queries you just include the KF.
so, based on this, you have:
For loading process cube 1 is faster than cube 2.
For reporting, cube 2 is faster than cube 1.
Also, cube 1 will be more flexible to KF definition changes, since the data is stored as it's generated in the source system, you only need to change the query. This can also be aplied to older data. In cube 2, you need to modify the transformations (or rules) and then reload if you want to update older data.
The best option depends on data volume and the query performance that you need.
Hope this helps.

Diego

Unique Query Performance Challenge

Experts,
Please I need help in this area. I have a query written from a Multi-Provider. The query is using 98% of its data from 1 base cube. Currently it takes about 4 minutes to run and I want to bring it down to 1 minute.
This query is run off a web template and it is not static. The users can drilldown in any direction as required. The performance is more of a problem from the drilldown.
This query is a cost report with a lot of calculated and restricted key figures, and also a lot of excludes and includes all within the key figures.
The query has 13 restricted key figures and 5 calculated using the restricted, so 18 in all. Each restricted key figure resembles this example:
     Cost Element (hierarchy restriction or singles values or ranges restriction)
     Sender/Receiver
     Version
     Value Type
     Amount
I believe the complex restrictions are slowing this report down. At the moment I am trying to speed up this report and it has proved a big challenge.
Has anybody experienced a similar challenge before?
Please do not point me to OSS notes or the standard performance documents. I have tried all that. Is there something else beyond those that can help here? Maybe a trick someone has tried?
Help!!

Thank you all for replying:
This Problem is still NOT solved but I have more Information.
This query Contains a heirarchy (Main CH in row) and a second object contains hierachy also but selected via Authorisation in the User Profile.
Acutually both hierarchies are selected in Authorisation from the User profile but once the User is in the report, the User can drilldown in the displayed hierarchy depending on thier authorisation.
But most users are at the highest level in both hierarchies so they drilldown on both hierarchies and this is done via a separate selection Section in the Web template.
I am trying to build the exact picture of my scenario.....pls any help.
With this new information, Can I still do the following:
Buffer Hier or Cache by Hier level???

Calculated or restricted kf
