Hi,
That User may not have the authorizations on that InfoArea and MP, so check it. See SAP help on Roles and Authorizations.

See some good posting sin SDN
First define the Roles as per your business and then assign the Objects i.e. Plant . Division etc..

How to create queries on multiproviders& what are steps to be taken.

Hi all,
How to create queries on multiproviders& what are steps has to be take care.
Thanks,
cheta.

Hi,
Following scenario for sample for slow moving items for multiproviders.
Slow Moving Item Scenario
You want to define a query that displays all products that have been purchased only
infrequently or not at all. In other words, the query is also display characteristic values for
which no transaction data or only low values exist for the selected period.
Procedure
In the Administrator Workbench;
1. Create a MultiProvider consisting of a revenue InfoCube, containing the InfoObject
Material (0MATERIAL), and the InfoObject 0MATERIAL. The InfoObject must be set as
an InfoProvider in InfoObject maintenance. In other words, you need to have assigned
the InfoObject to an InfoArea. (also refer to Tab Page: Master Data/texts [Ext.]).
In the BEx Analyzer:
2. Select your MultiProvider in the Query Designer.
3. Define a query that contains the InfoObject 1ROWCOUNT in the columns.
The InfoObject 1ROWCOUNT is contained in all flat InfoProviders, that is, in all
InfoObjects and ODS objects. It counts the number of records in the InfoProvider.
In this scenario, you can see from the row number display whether or nor values
from the InfoProvider InfoObject are really displayed.
4. Save the query and execute it. All values are now displayed, including those for materials
that were not purchased.
If you filter by time (0CALYEAR, for example), values from the InfoProvider
InfoObjects are not displayed since 0CALYEAR is not an attribute of
0MATERIAL. You can see this from the absence of values in the 1ROWCOUNT
column in the query. If you want to restrict by time, you need to proceed as
follows:
Constant Selection for the InfoObject
You need to set the constant selection for the 1ROWCOUNT key figure in order to be able to
set a filter by time in this query.
1. In the Query Designer, via the context menu for 1ROWCOUNT, choose Edit.
2. On the left hand half of the screen, under the data package dimension, select the
characteristic InfoProvider (0INFOPROV) and drag it into the right-hand screen area.
3. From the context menu for the InfoProvider, choose Restrict, and restrict across the
InfoProvider InfoObject.
4. Also from the context menu for the InfoProvider, choose the function Constant Selection.
5. Save the query and execute it. You can now also set a filter for a time characteristic, the
materials display remains as it was.
Displaying Slow Moving Items
If you want to display a list of slow moving items, excluding products that are selling well, you
need to proceed as follows:
1. In the Query Designer, via the context menu for 1ROWCOUNT, choose Edit.
2. Via the context menu for InfoProvider, choose the function Display Empty Values. Also
select Constant Selection.
3. Save the query and execute it. The result is that the system displays the materials for
which there was no revenue.
Displaying Products with Small Revenues
If you want to display a list of products that have not been sold or have only been selling
badly, you need to proceed as follows:
1. Set constant selection as described above, but do not select the display empty values
function.
2. In the Query Designer, define a condition for the 0MATERIAL InfoObject. Specify a value
that is to be the upper limit for a bad sale.
3. Save the query and execute it. The result is that the system displays all materials that
have not been sold or have been selling badly.

How to create hierarchy on bi7 by using dtp

how to create hierarchy on bi7 by using dtp

Hi Deba,
Procedure to create Hierarchies:
1.      In the Data Warehousing Workbench under Modeling, choose the InfoObject tree.
2.      If you have assigned the hierarchy basic characteristic to an InfoObject catalog, select the corresponding InfoObject catalog for an InfoArea.
If the hierarchy basic characteristic does not belong to an InfoObject catalog, choose the InfoArea Non-Assigned Nodes and the InfoObject Catalog Non-Assigned Characteristics.
3.      Select the characteristic for which you want to create a hierarchy and choose Create Hierarchy from the context menu. The Create Hierarchy dialog box appears. The InfoObject name appears by default.
4.      Enter a hierarchy name and description (short, medium, long). Other fields may be displayed, depending on which hierarchy properties were selected for the hierarchy basic characteristics
Fields used to enter the Validity (valid to, valid from) for the hierarchy property Total Hierarchy Time-Dependent
Fields used to specify the Hierarchy Version for the hierarchy property Hierarchies Version-Dependent.
5.      Confirm your entries. The Maintain Hierarchy screen appears. You can define the structure of a hierarchy here.
6.      To create a hierarchy node, you first need to choose an insertion mode: Insert as First Child or   Insert As Next Neighbor (see Hierarchy Editing Functions).
7.      Choose the type of node you want to create: Text Node, Characteristic Node, <Hierarchy Basic Characteristic Node> or Interval (see Hierarchy Nodes)
8.      Repeat this procedure until the hierarchy structure has been set. For more information, see Modeling Nodes and Leaves.
A hierarchy can contain 50,000-100,000 leaves at most. If your hierarchy is larger, you should insert a level that is used as a navigation attribute or preferably as a separate characteristic in the dimension table.
9.      You can use Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes to set how the hierarchy is to be displayed and processed in reporting (see Level Maintenance and Hierarchy Attributes).
10.      Save the hierarchy.
11.      Activate the hierarchy. See Editing Hierarchies.

RRMX for executing and creating queries

Hi,
I have some users which are able only to create queries and another group which are only able to execute them.
Which auth object and values should I consider in order to distinguish these 2 roles?
Thanks and regards
FedeX

Hello, Firstly, may I suggest that the subject is misleading for the question asked.
Transaction RRMX only excute the BEX analyzer add in.
In BI/BW the authorization objects that govern whether the user is authorized to display/ execute / create / change queries are S_RS_COMP and S_RS_COMP1.
Both these objects work in tandem. Where as S_RS_COMP covers the infocube, info area authorizations along with activity and Report IDs, S_RS_COMP1 covers the authorization to execute reports (queries) created by author /Owner (SAP username). example: If the owner field in S_RS_COMP1 has user ID PTERRY01, a user who is assigned the role containing this authorization will only be able to execute queries created by the user PTERRY01.
Standard Activities 03, 16 allow the user to display / execute reports while 01,02 determine whether the user can create / change reports and if he can, what reports example: If the acitivty 01 is combined with report ID Y*, the user can only create queries whose names start with Y.
And please note, RRMX (Bex analyzer) does not allow you to create queries, Query designer does (link from BEX Analyzer opens up Designer).

Prashant

Unable to create queries on portal

Hi,
We have implemented Buyer business package on portal and all the ABAP views are coming up fine. For the POWL views like "My Vendors", My Materials" there is an option to create a new query and then view the results in the table based on the query.
Now this step of creating query is coming up for a particular user. But for certain users the view shows message "No active queries" and there is no option to even create a new query.
Please let me know what authorization do I need to give in ECC so that they can get this option of creating new queries.

Best Practice on Creating Queries in Production

We are a fairly new BI installation. I'm interested in the approach other installations take to creation of queries in the production environment. Is it standard to create most queries directly into the production system? Or is it standard to develop the queries in the development system and transport them through to production?

Hi,
Best practices applied to all developments whether it is R/3, BI modelling or Reporting and as per the best practice we do development in Development system, testing in testing box and finally deploy successful development to production. yes for user analysis purpose, user can do adhoc analysis or in some scenario they create user specific custom queries (sometimes reffere as X-query created by super user).
So it is always to do all yr developement in Development Box and then transport to Production after successful QA testing.

Hi All,

Upto my knowledge,it should ask for the package only when you change the existing queries which are already transported...
Could you suggest me how to fix this...this is urgent..

Creating Queries Programmatically

Hi,
I need to create the queries programmatically using the APIs in my 7.1 Laptop webdynpro application. when I try to use the class QueryRuntime to instantiate the query, the project is not able to reference to the package com.sap.ip.me.api.persist.query.QueryRuntime.
I want to know how to create the queries programmatically using the above class.
Regards,
Priya

Hi,
I am sure ( although without having testet it myself ) that the administrative EJBs behind the portal administration tool could be used here.
consult the java - doc for theese classes.
Are you sure this is the only solution to the problem ? If you could elaborate on the problem leading to you wanting to create portlets prgrammatically perhaps the community could provide you with another solution if there are any.

Material      cost      tax amount
mdb1001 21,698       1,433.42
And i have created the query with the same options. But the key figure values are different why is that so ?

Can't find the created queries in SQVI after SAP GUI Upgrade

Hi all,
I have a problem when I update my SAP GUI (7.10 -> 7.20)
After the upgrade, I can't find anymore the queries in SQVI. The liste is totally emptied...
Could you help me to find them? Or plz, just tell me I deleted them T_T
Thanks in advence.

Hello Alexander,
Thank you for your reply, but the situation didn't change... it's really strange...
We used the same PC to logon with 720, I'm sure that the parameters of SAP GUI are good, everything works correctly except SQVI. No problem with LSMW or SCAT... The most important point, this problem appears on all PC with 720 upgrade! So, it's not a local problem...but we didn't touch anything on server...maybe it was just a coincidence, somebody did something on the server in the same time of SAP GUI Upgrade...
For now, we copied the lost queries from QUALITY (it's not the last version T_T but it's better than nothing!) And we still don't know where is the source of problem.
Anyway, thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Alu
