Creating a workbook with seven queries- a question??

Hi All,
I am trying to create a workbook out of seven queries. I am also trying to keep the title and free characteristics in the Workbook and be able to refresh with new filter values. But when I am running the query I am not seeing the free charateristics in the analyzer after running it. I think it can be done using the design mode function but need help which function to use. In a nutshell..
1) I want this WB to have free characteristics after running the query along with title and embed six other queries into the same WB.
How could this be done??
Thanks for ur help.

Hi Akash,
Try using Insert navigation pane design item in each of your workbooks sheets, for the corresponding queries.
Click on a cell where you want to place your free characteristics.
Go to BEx Design toolbar.
Click on insert navigation pane.
Doble click on the cell , to define the properties of this navigation pane.
Go to dimensions tab. Move the characteristics you want as free characteristics from available dimension to selected dimensions.
Go to diplay tab, and allow all display check boxes
To go back to report display, you can click on the (icon A in the design BEx toolbar), to switch off the design mode.
Hope this is how you wanted it!
Best regards,
Sunmit.

Workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs

Scenario: There is a workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs.
In 3.x, it was possible to refresh only a select query within the WB but I'm not finding this to be the case in the NW04s BEx Analyzer. It seems that it will always refresh all queries on all tabs.
Do any of you know a way around this?

Hi Bigtoja (and others).
This is not possible in BI/2004s.
Please refer to https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004483762006E page 23. It seems that it will be implemented in a stack sometime in 2008.

Query not refreshing all data when run in workbook with other queries

All,
I have the following problem. I have a workbook that has two queries, one on each tab.
The specific thing I notice that the company code is not showing up in the query at first until I hit refresh. Both queries use the same company code and user variables. When running the workbook I have each query set to "refresh query when running workbook". I have been able to duplicate this problem in either of the two queries, depending upon which company code variables I use. When I run the workbook, one of the two queries never updates company code variable unless I "refresh" the query directly after pulling up the workbook.
I have changed the company code variable and used other company codes in each query, some required, some not, but ultimately a few of the key figures are not populating with current data and the company code is missing...unless I hit refresh on that query. I have tried creating new workbooks and removing and reinserting the queries, but this doesn't work either.
And both queries run fine when executed alone.
Again, Both queries use the same company code variable.
Any help will be rewarded with points and is appreciated.

Tasha,
Remove the queries from the workbook and reinsert them. This should show the desired result.

Poor Performance 7.0 Workbook with multiple queries

Hi all,
I've got the following issue. Our users have workbooks which contain serveral queries on different sheets. (One on each workbook sheet)
When a workbook contains 5 or more queries, the overall workbook performance will decrease drastically. Workbook with 8 or more queries result in time-outs and messages like unsufficient shared memory.
Does anyone have the same kind of problems with multiple queries in a Bex 7.0 workbook? Do any one have a solution?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Ron

Bill,
Tried to make a workbook according to your advise. It certainly makes a difference in workbook size. The new workbook is 50% smaller than the older version based on the standard SAP template.
However, my workbook contains 17 queries, and after 5 minutes it breaks the BW connection. So basic conclusion is that BW 7.0 workbook can't work with a large number of dataproviders/ queries. This did work in BEx BW 3.x.
If any one has any other suggestion, more than welcome.
Cheers,
Ron

Creating workbook with Multiple queries

Hi All,
I have developed close to 8 queries for a report. Now I have to put them on one page and for that I need to create Workbook and transfer them.
I believe,that will get it on one page.
I have never done this, does anyone have step by step procedure to do it.
Please provide.
Points will be rewarded generously.

According to BI 7.0 Version
<b>Steps of creating workbook and to insert more than one query in a workbook.</b>
When you run a query and it opens in Bex Analyzer you can click the save button and pick "Save as Workbook".
Once you save it as a workbook Click on the "Design Mode" button in the Bex toolbar (looks like an A).
Click in the sheet where you want the new query to go, click the "Analysis Grid" button. It will add the analysis grid to your new sheet.
Right click on the Analysis grid and go to properties.
Click on button to change data provider and select the query you want to attach.
Exit design mode and you should be all set.

BEx Broadcaster - Using a Workbook with multiple queries on different tabs

Hi,
I was wondering if any has used Bex Broadcaster to broadcast a workbook that contains multiple queries on different tabs in the workbook. I believe someone has mentioned that this was an issue in the past and I was wondering if this now a possibility with Bex Broadcaster
If you were able to do this successfully, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello
Of course it is possible.
But, if you want to broadcast a workbook, you have to use a Precalculation Server.
Without precalculation server, workbooks cannot be precalculated and broadcasted.
More details, please check the note below:

Hi Joe,
We've seen this error when using express VI's inside of template VI's which are loaded using VI server. Are you doing that? If yes, then take all the express VIs that are inside the template VI and turn them into static subVIs.
I don't know if it will help in your case, but let's try it.

Workbooks with more than 12 queries

Hi,
I have a workbook with 11 queries.
In each query, there is only one variable (same technical name).
As a consequence, the whole workbook is refreshed automatically by filling only one variable screen.
When I add 1 more query in this workbook, then 12 variable screens are displayed one after the other, with the same variable!
Is there a known limitation with BEx 3.x / BW 3.5 that causes this problem with workbooks having more than 12 queries?
Thanks and regards,
John

Discoverer creating workbook with item hierarchies that I don't want.

In Discoverer PLUS 10g (OracleBI Discoverer version 10.1.2.55.26):
I create a worbook, but when I drag item, they bring item hierarchies, but I didn't create item hierarchies.
It seems when I drag all the items for the business area it's fine, but when I drag out a item, all others items are items hierarchies after that. Next I drag the last item, afters that, all items are normal, they are not item hierarchies.
In DiscovererADMIN, we did not created item hierachies who could bring itemhierachies in a worbook.
This problem is present one spécific database, I tested the problem in a other database but didn't appear.
Do you know whats happening?
Thank you

HI Rod,
My problem is that we don't have any hierarchies set up in the EUL and we see item hierarchy in workbook, it's impossible because we did create hierarchies.
I created a workbook with a Bussiness Area named person, for example. This Bussiness Area got a total of 10 items and the datatype of each item is different, we have number, varchar2 and date. When I drag all the 10 items in the worksheet, the items are not hierachies, but when I drag out a item, all the others items are hierarchies, suddenly. And when I put back the last item, all the items are not hierarchies. I already said that we didn't create hierachies for that Bussiness Area or any others Busness area in the EUL.
We don't know how we can have items hierachy in a workbook when we didn't create them in the EUL.
I hope you will understand more what I try to explain.
Thanks for your time.

1 workbook, 2 identical queries, 2 different currency types on one refresh

Hello BEX Gurus
I have to create a workbook with 2 identical queries (2 worksheets). One sheet should be with currency type A and the other sheet should be with currency type B. My input variables are on company code, period, year and currency type. How can I get on a single refresh both worksheets with the proper currency type data displayed ? (1 sheet in CAD and the other one in USD for example).
I tried unsetting the Workbook settings <Display same variable only once> so that I have a chance to input the parameters for every query and it works (as it shows me both data providers input variables) but this is not a good solution if I have 15 queries in another workbook ... i.e the user will not be happy inputting 15 parameter input popups...
How is this achieved, considering that I am not a VB programmer, that we are on BI 7 and that I don't want to create new identical reports for the other currency type to report on ? If this involves VB coding, please be clear on how to implement this.
Tx

Joke
When I drill across currency type, I get the <no applicable data found> message. There must be something I am doing wrong
1) I added currency type in the <Free Charact> tab
2) I refresh the workbook
3) I filter the CAD sheet with the FIlter for currency = CAD
4) Then I rmc and select the drill and I ge the no data found message.

Creating Excel Workbook from PL/SQL Procedure

I am trying to create Excel Workbook with two worksheets from PL/SQL procedure. I created one worksheet. Can I create a separate sheet from same procedure. I used OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('application/vnd.ms-excel', FALSE)

Any help would be helpful.

Further to my previous post here is how I will develop a typical master details excel report.
by using the package,
It will also show sum of salary at each department.
Note : When I paste the code here I loose the indentation. So the code below is not indented properly.

Generate ER Diagram with Sql Queries ?

Hi Expertie,
I am new to Oracle Sql Developer Data Modeler.
I am having doubt in Oracle Sql Developer Data Modeler. Can we create ER Diagram with sql queries ?
Ex: select Ename, EAge, Eemail, ESalary, DDept, Dname, Estatus from Emp E join Dept D on E.EmpId = D.Empid
Where EAge in (20, 25, 30, 35)
Please provide me the answer and suggestion. It will be greatful for me.
Thanks & Regards
Bhaskar

Yes, you can engineer your physical model to a logical one, then you'll have an ERD as well. It's a right-click on the model I believe.
To be more specific, if you relational model is loaded, you can use the button in the toolbar that looks like a double-blue-arrow, or you can mouse-right-click on your relational model in the tree. This will engineer your model to a logical one. You'll then have your ERD.

Creating report with multiple queries in clear quest

Hi,
I am new to reports and currently working with creating reports that connect to clear quest(CQ).
I have successfully created several reports, that connect to the CQ, but they all have data from only one query.
Now I am trying to create a slightly complex report where I need to fetch data from multiple queries. All these queries use 2 parameter to filter their data. I have dynamic cascading parameters to get them. When just connecting they all work ok. I used the link tab to link them to two fields of one query, to make sure that they all filter to fields from same query.
The problem is when I drop the fields from the various queries on the form, the data is fetched multiple times.
I also played with links to make them outer links but in that case I get error and unable to run the report completely.
Any ideas on how to work with multiple queries and provide same parameters to all of the queries?
Thanks in advance.
-PAP

- How do I make sure that the relationship is not one to many?
You don't. That's the nature of the data. For example a single person can order multiple items. A simple one to many relationship.
- In the link tab, I can only point to queries, is there a way I can point the fields to report params?
You should be seeing tables... I think you're having a tough time with the basic terminology.
- How does these Enforce Joins (4 options) work.
There is rarely if ever any reason to switch from the default "not enforced". Leave it alone. The only one you'll touch 90% of the time is the Join Type.
PAP,
Based on the questions you're asking, it sounds like you are missing some major database fundamentals. My suggestion would be to step away from CR for the time being and read a little bit about relational databases (what makes them relational) and database normalization. This will also give you an idea about the various join types and when to use one over the other.
You can know every feature and function in CR, but until you have at least a basic knowledge of how data relates, you'll never pull in the data you need.
