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.

12-month trend report through Query designer

We have a requirement to create a 12-month trend report in BI through Query designer. The requirement is to have the report show 12 columns (i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr....) and each month should show either Actuals or Budget data based on the month that is entered at run time. As this report is for high level executives, they only want to have one variable (Month/Year) to select at run time. It is assumed that based on whatever month/year they enter, all months less than and equal to that month will have actuals data. For example, if March 2007 is selected at run time, the query should then produce the following data: Jan Actual, Feb Actual, March Actual, April Budget, May Budget, June Budget and so on.
Can anybody provide me with some suggestions as to how this query can be written?
thank you,
Lanny

Ruslim, there are other things that you need to conside:
#1 - Actuals vs Budget - are you going to show both (comparison)? if not, then you have to select a version at the beginning of the report.
#2 - Balance Sheet or Income Statement? If you are showing consolidated data, you might need to include Period 13-16 for December, depending on what year-end adjustment entries are made and what special period they are made in (refer to your Fiscal Year variant for that). Depending on the chart of accounts, you might have to make two separate queries
#3 - Periodic vs Cumulative. If you don't have a cumulative key figure (such as in a BCS environment) then you will need to put in a range for the posting period (#-0FISCPER3). In this case, remember to include the unassigned period (or period 0) to include your year-beginning balances
good luck

Not getting Report Model Query Designer in SSRS

I am working on SQL Server reporting Service(SSRS) with Report Builder 3. I successfully connected Data Source with Oracle Server. When I working in Report Builder I did not find Report Model Query Designer. How can I find this?
How can it possible to merge dataset with datasource(database entity) in SSRS?
Please help me.

Hi Jewel,
To enable Report Model Query Designer in Report Builder, we need use Report Model as the datasource. Report models can be used as data sources for reports created in Report Designer and Report Builder 3.0.
So in your scenario, you need to create a Report Model project in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), and then deploy this report model to report server. Then in Report Builder, you can use this report model as datasource and open
Report Model Query Designer window.
Reference.
Report Models (Report Builder 3.0 and SSRS)

If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out.

I need to know the user who has created/modified a SAP Bex Query and WAD

Hi!
I need to know the user who has created and modified a SAP Bex Query and SAP Web Application Designer. Does it possible to know this information by a table or view?
Best Regards
Ramon Sanchez

Hi,
In BEx query, when you click "Queries" to open the query, the list of queries are displayed. Highlight the query, click on the "Properties On/Off' icon(right most on the top), you would see all the details.
In WAD, before opening the template, click on "Properties On/Off'" icon to see the details.

The folder "itunes"can not be found or created and is required

I am getting this error message when I try to open Itunes on my pc. The error message reads:
The folder "itunes" can not be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is in "my music" folder.
I can see it there and I open it and hit agree to contract and this error message come up. I have deleted the program reinstalled the program. Please if you have any suggestions on how to fix this I would appreciate the help.
Thanks Mkitz

the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

Hi all,
I am using a 80GB ipod classic for some time now. I recently bought a new hard drive and am in the process of repopulating my files. My problem is with this error message, "The folder "iTunes" can not be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music folder."
My old hard drive is intact but when I place the My Music/iTunes file on to the hew hard drive I get the same message over and over. I have Googled the heck out of this one to no avail. I have tried many approaches to this issue and am beyond aggravation. Am I simply to accept that 42GB of music is gone? Or that I have to revert to my old hard drive just for iTunes...
Thank you...

Error while executing report in query designer

Dear Folks,
I am geting following error while executing report in query designer.
Error:500 E
an exception raised because of 0analysis pattern.
Hence,i am unable to execute any report.
Need help.
Thanks

Hi Kitu G,
I think this is something to do with the bex web 0ANALYSIS* objects not being installed in your BW system.
I would try and do the following:
- Goto RSA1 > BI Content > BEx Web Template (BTMP)
- Then double-click on Select Object.
- Highlight all objects that start with 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN
- Click on Transfer Selections, and then Install.
If you can't do the above in prd, do it in DEV, then transport the objects to prd.
After all this, try re-running your queries.
Any questions/clarification just let me know
Cheers.

Query not showing detailed result when run through query Designer or Portal

Hi,
There is one query which not showing detailed result while running through Query Designer or run in Portal.
But strange thing is that it is showing the detailed result when i run it through BeX Analyzer.
While all the other queries don't have this problem in system. All showing the correct detailed result.
If anyone have some idea on this issue plz let me know.
Regards,
Javed
Edited by: Javed Akhtar on Jul 7, 2009 3:59 PM

Hi,
We can do this setting in WAD. Please check the web template and try to remove that setting. When you have hierarchy then we can display only till certain level in portal, this setting is done in web template APIs, but in bex analyzer you can see all the detailed information.

Can a user be a developer and an admin user in the same workspace?

Hi
We have just upgraded one of our environments from APEX 3.2 to Apex 4.1.
In our existing apex applications version 3.2 we have the senior developer users set up with both user is an administrator and user is a developer set to yes.
When I try to set up the same in Version 4.1 I only seem to be able to set the user up with either developer or admin and not both as the user is a developer radio button is greyed out when user is and adminstator is selected.
Is it not possible in 4.1 to be an administrator and a developer. Does this mean that one person may have to have 2 logins if they are performing an adminstrator and developer role in Apex 4.1?
Please advise
Regards
Kay

Hi,
When you set user as admin, it is same as in Apex 3.2 admin+developer

How to create a variable in Bex Query Designer

Hi guys,
I am writing a query for a travel management report using the SAP Standard cube. I would like to restrict the query so it only shows me the last two months excluding the current month. I have checked BI content in RSA1, but I canu2019t find a relevant SAP standard variable that I can use.
Can anyone please tell me if I can create my own? And if so, how I can do this.
Many Thanks
Forhad.

lets say u want to display following picture:
sept$-----august$
City
-chicago123$--
44$
so in Query designer go to Default values section.
Bring in Calendar month
right click calendar month
and hit Restrict
now select variable
use standard sap variable Current Month.
hit okey
now select Variable and hit Red button
Result u restricted current month.
in columns bring in keyfigure $
right click and hit edit
bring in time field calendar month
right click and hit restrict
bring in Current month
right click and select - SET OFFSET FOR VARIABLE
select -1
hit okey
repeat the above process
and this time select offset = -2
this way u restricted current month
but displayed last 2 months for keyfigure values.

Can we see value of CKF in exception cell in query designer-please reply

Hello all,
I am defining a query in query designer in which i am using the exception cells, I am having two structures in this query. Now at the intersection of these two structure on one particular line I am trying to define the properties of that cell. I selected new selection and after that I added the calculated key figure that I had created. So should that cell show me the value of the calculated key figure (that is what I thought, that if I can put my CKF in that cell it will show me the value for that CKF). I am seeing different results.
Is there any way you can actually show the value of calculated key figure in that particular cell.
Thanks in advance,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You can add Calculated key figure,RKF and even single key figures .The cells are independent of each other and that should not be an issue.
Whatever the key figure is in the cell it should show that value.
Just check again whether you have put any key figure into the selections of the structures
There should be no key fgures into selctions.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Structres and cells in Bex query designer?? urgent plz

hi experts,
could you please give me the useful info. regarding structres and cells with the examples.
thanks in advance
regards
vadlamudi

1. In the Query Designer, choose Cells (open) from the toolbar or use the menu option under View to reach the Cell Editor functions.
2. You can now use four different functions.
New Selection
u2022 Select a cell in the Cells dialog box, and use the right mouse
button to choose New Selection.
u2022 Define the required selection.
u2022 Enter a description for the selection and choose OK.
New Formula
u2022 Select a cell in the Cell dialog box, and use the right mouse button to choose New Formula.
u2022 Define the required formula. Enter a description for the formula
and choose OK.
New Cell Reference
Each cell that you define can be reused in formulas. If you want to reuse the value of the implicit generic cell definition that automatically occurs at the intersection of two structure parts of a query, select this cell in the Cell Definition dialog box, and choose New Cell Reference using the right mouse button. The description arising from the two structure parts
automatically appears in the cell. You can now refer to this cell.
Additional cells
Click on the cell adjacent to the Help Cells and choose the required option if you need additional cells for auxiliary selections or formulas which are not already included in the query structure you have defined from the construction of rows and columns.
