Changing Queries in Workbooks automatically

Hi all,
I have a bunch of Queries which I'm planning to phase out, and I have replacement Queries for them. The Queries to be pahsed out are used in Workbooks. Is there an automated way to replace these obsolete Queries with new Queries in these workbooks? Maybe a BAPI, function module, VB Macro, Tcode (so that a BDC program can be written) or some other way?
Thanks in advance

hi,
But to do that in SAP Business Explorer proves quite a challenge especially if the row is in some sort of hierarchy format. The work around this is, yes, you got it, to combine 2 or more query into one worksheet, to create the "illusion" of having it all in one statement.
So how do you combine more than one query into BEX? Simple. Follow this step:
Click on "Tools" icon.
Select "Insert Query..."
You got more than one query into your workbook. Don't forget to save the workbook for later use.

Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks

Hi,
Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks.
For instance when you edit,open an 3.x query in 7.0 query designer it is automatically migrated.Would it be same if we open it in 7.1 query designer?Is it possible to migrate queries and workbooks without any fail or deletion or loss?
Thank you.

I will add to the already excellent suggestions made above that the migration from Bex 3.x to Bex 7.0 is VERY laborious. There are no automated tools.
All queries and workbooks must be identified (use this as an opportunity to get rid of unused objects)
Each query must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as needed.
Each Workbook must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as well. The "Automated" conversion tool that SAP provides (it's behind the scenes Visual Basic) presents problems with at least 50% of the workbooks, and so they have to be manually fussed with.
If you've used Visual Basic at all in your Workbooks, you'll have to change 'em all. The On Refresh event no longer exists.
And of course, test... test.. test.. and test.
And don't forget to retrain your users. The User interface is dramatically different.
Good luck ! We're 3 months in to a five month conversion project.

How to decide inserting Queries into Workbooks

Hi,
I have a few doubts..pls clarify my doubts
1. How to decide inserting Queries into workbooks (How many number of Queries will be inserting into workbooks??)
2. Shall i use single sheet (or) Multiple sheets
3. We are using Hierarchy...So, How to insert a Query( How to decide which row/coulmn the Query can be placed??)
4. How to suppress Zeros and # permanently (For temporarily, i went to cell context menu--All Characteristics-Suppress zero column/Row..)
But looking for permanent solution..
Please Suggest me ...
Thanks..
Help will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks.........

Hi venkat,
1.how may queries in a workbook will depend on the reporting requirement.
2. single or multiple sheet - it is advisable to insert one query in each sheet to avoid confusion.
3. If you are using hierarchies then it is not advisable to use then in worrkbooks, since the values in the cells would keep changing depending on the hierarchy and the level it is expanded etc.
4. To supress zeros you can also do a setting in spro -- > SAP netweaver --> SAP Business information warehouse --> Report-relevant settings --> presenting the numeric value in the Business explorer
Standard settings
Under certain circumstances numeric values and texts for currencies, or units, in the Business Explorer cannot be determined uniquely. In such cases predefined texts are displayed instead of the numeric values, and currencies, or units:
If a Division by zero arises when calculating a numeric value then this text is output.
If a numeric value cannot be determined then this text is output (does not exist).
If a numeric value is not calculated due to numeric overlapping then this text is output.
If a numeric value is made up of several currencies, or units, then this text is output instead of the currency or unit (mixed currencies).
If a user does not have authorization to display a particular numeric value for a cell in the executed query, then this text is output in the cell instead (no authorization).
If a calculated numeric value is made up of different currencies, or units, then the numeric value can or cannot be output. If you choose mixed values then the numeric value is output. If mixed values is not active then the text is output that you entered under "mixed currencies".
Activities
1. Determine the texts that are to be output in the Business Explorer instead of numeric values.
2. Decide whether numeric values, that are made up of different currencies, or units, should be output.
If the above explanation was helpful, please assign reward points.

Permissions for Planning functions, queries and workbooks

Hello experts,
i have a short question about permissions in SAP BW and BW-IP. How can I restrict the execution of planning functions/sequences and queries or workbooks?
Thanks and regards!

Hello,
If you record an authorization log for your planning sequence you can see what objects are checked and this should help you to create authorizations to restrict access:
To record authorization logs for planning sequences, you have to go to RSECADMIN, activate that trace for the user and run the planning sequence as usual. See detailed steps below:
1. Activate the authorization log
- Go to RSECADMIN transaction
- change to "Analysis" tab and click on "Error logs" button.
- There you can see the "Configure Log Recording". Click on it.
- It will open a new screen, add the user which need to has the authorization log recorded.
- save it.
2. Open a new windows and execute the planning sequence.
- you can use the RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE report in se38 or other way to run it
3. Deactivate the authorization log recording
- following the same steps to activate the log, delete the user which you added in the step 1.
4. Check the authorization log
- Go back to RSECADMIN transaction
- change to "Analysis" tab and click on "Error logs" button.
- select the time interval to find your authorization log (or delete selections to see all)
- click on "display" button
- find your recorded log
- double click on it to open the log
- analyze it.
Best Regards,
Des

I can't see any queries or workbooks anymore

I am unable to see any queries or workbooks anymore. I had created several myself but now everything is empty.

Hi LMM.
You can check whether and when your user was changed in SU01 if you are authorized to do that.
If you have assigned/saved your workbooks in a role that has been removed from your user, you might not be able to see them anymore. You will have to move the workbooks from that old role to the new ones, if that is what is causing the problems. But it's just a guess...
Hope it helps.

Is there anyway to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting?

Our environment has thousands of old queries and workbooks. We plan to delete any object that has not been used within 13 months, but there's a concern we may someday need a few of the reports that will be deleted.
Is there a way to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting them?
Is there another approach to solving this matter?
Thanks!

Jim
This is really a intersting question as this is a reality as many BW reports are not used/accessed by users but still they have tendancies of sitting on these reports.
I wanted to suggest to carry-out report usabilty analys. This analysis u can carry out by using BW statistics/standerd queries/new queries in technical cubes showing usability data. If u found that a perticalar BW report is not been used for long time, u can discuss the usability of this report with the report user ( as it is a normal practice of owning BW report by user/user group across industry ), if user is no longer uses it Or do not need it any more, it will be better to delete those reports, this will free up some resources and will reduce the junk. ( if user wants these queries ask him to use it or it will better to personalise report in his desktop easing him to see those reports. )
Changing the technical names of the query as suggested by Bhanu will have follwing effects.
1. It will add more reports in repository leading to junk
2. Old queries still be assigned to user roles, so collide with user authorisation.
hope views are clear, others are welcome to add or share their experince in this regard.
kindly assign the points if it helps.

Trying to find the Find/Change queries

Okay I thought I knew where these were. I've looked in
C:\Users\phyllis\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\en_US\Caches
There are files there called FindChangeData and FindChangeDataTmp, but writing them into the folder for Version 7.5 doesn't do anything.
So I think I'm looking in the wrong place. I'm trying to move all the find/change queries into InDesign CS 5.5. Can someone point me to them?
Thanks, Phyllis

Script for running multiple find/change queries

Working on a large ID book document (*.indb), I have saved several dozens of Find/Change Queries (named "col01", "col02" etc.) that I run on "All documents". For a particular reason I have to run these queries several times a day.
So I was wondering whether there is, or whether anybody out there would write, a script that runs these queries one after the other. Given the size of the book, it might be necessary to provide for the script to pause after each query is run (before it goes on with the next), but I am just guessing.
Any help is much appreciated!

There are a couple of others:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5173943#5173943
this is more at code level rather than a GUI, but the actual queries are made using the Find/Change dialog box.
Also
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/grep_query_manager.html
This is good too, but only does GREP searches (no text, glyph or object find/replaces) that were written by the user - does not use the ones installed with InDesign. Does allow changes by selection, story, document or folder.
Did try the Doquerylist suggested by Kasyan. This allows GREP/text changes by the user/installed with InDesign, but only applies to a selection or text-thread.
Always good to have more than one way of accomplishing a task though!

Bex Default template for Queries and Workbooks

Dear All,
We have a default template for all queries and workbooks.But this default template was created using a AP query and saved as a workbook.Now all the users having AR role are not able to execute queries or workbooks.Since this default template has a AP info provider associated with it.Is it possible convert this default workbook to a generic one without any security restrictions.Please provide a solution.

In Bex analyzer, you have option to convert a template into a default template.
Or you can create a copy of the existing template without AP infoproviders and assign it as default template.

Carrier changes when not on automatic

hi all
So as the subject title would suggest. I've gonna abroad and every now and then I turn my data on to check e-mails etc, so I force my iphone 5 to the best network in the area. the iphone will change to that network for about 5minutes or so tågen automatically change even tho the automatic setting isn't on.
WHy why would it be doing this ?

Carrier details matter, are you on 3 UK or a provider like DataRoam?
What network the phone chooses all depends on the SIM roaming configuration.
It's normal for a phone to hop between roaming networks, it may not make sense as to why it's hopping around, but let it do it's thing.
