Error while trying to Open and Delete a BEx Query in Query Designer.

Hi Experts,
I have been facing this issue with BEx Query in Designer mode for a couple of days now in Development Environment in BI 7.0.
I would like to Delete an unwanted BEx Query because I need to give it's name to another BEx Query.
Whenever I try to Open this Query in BEx Query Designer to Delete, it gives out an error saying:
"An error occurred while communicating with the BI server.
As a result of this error, the system has been
disconnected from the BI server.
Detailed Description:
STOP: Program error is class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
STOP: System eror in program CL_RSR and form GET_CHANMID-01 - (see long text)"
Details text is as below:
Diagnosis
This internal error is an intended termination resulting from a program state that is not permitted.
Procedure
Analyze the situation and inform SAP.
If the termination occurred when you executed a query or Web template, or during interaction in the planning modeler, and if you can reproduce this termination, record a trace (transaction RSTT).
For more information about recording a trace, see the documentation for the trace tool environment as well as SAP Note 899572.
I have tried with SAP Note 899572, but still it's the same.
Has anyone faced similar issue? Could you please let me know if you have better ideas or solution?
Your time is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandu

Arun - Thanks a million. You saved me Nine. It worked.
Could you also please tell me how to rename (Technical) a Query or is it still "Save the Query As" the only way...?
Points already assigned.

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.

Drill down ( Collapsible Row ) Report in BEx query designer ?

Dear Friends!
I am supoosed to create a report drill down report for Purchasing History to be precise, I know that we can have drill down feature using heirarchy but is it possible for Us to have PO & PO item heirarachy ? or any other way to do drill down reporting in SAP BEx Query designer ?
like my current report is : -
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
Now I am supposed to create a report in which
normal view
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | |> PO Number| .... ( keyfigures) | Payment |
drill down or collapsible view ( please consider the heading as data I am not talking about dynamically change of headings ).
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | V PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
is there anyway to design the report in above mention manner ? you any input will be appreciated greatly.
Thank you so much!
Regards
Naim

Hi Naim,
usually we don't do the transactional data as hierarchy. not sure the reason behind your requirement.
we can do one of the below :-
1. To have the default view as
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | | PO Number| .( keyfigures) | Payment |
and then user can drill down on rest of the characteristics for detailed view later on.
2. or if they don't want to drill down on characteristics;-
we can build 2 reports , one for header level information and then jump to second query for detailed information(item level) using RRI.
first query:
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | | PO Number| .( keyfigures) | Payment |
second query:
| Vendor | Purchasing Organisation | Purchasing Group | Plant | PO Number | Item | Material / Service | Description | .... ( keyfigures) |
Let us know if this works out?
Regards,
Sakthi.

Hide a row or column for characteristic value # in Query Designer

Hi gurus,
I would if we could hide a result row / column if one of the characteristic value is #. The requirement is actually to remove the meaningless row / column from the whole result set. For example, I have a char Material Group in the column. Since not every Material is assigned to a Material Group, I will get the following layout:
Material_Group A
Material_Group B
Material_Group C
Is it possible to define in query designer so that the column with # will automatically not be displayed?
Thanks,
Meng

Hi Meng,
I guess we have the same users..
But there is one thing that is going to make a non sense on the report: if you do not display the "#" for material group, then the total of your query by material group will not be the summation of what is displayed on the screen...and if the user explort the information in Excel (pretty sure they will do so), you will have some calls that your query does not balance....
Based on that assumption, tell the users to assign a material group to the materials, so that this unassigned column disappears. You could even give them a control report listing all the parts that do not have a material group
If this is a standard business rule not to have a material group for all parts, then, what you could do is to change the text for empty rows for Material group, then the "#" will disappear and wil be under the text description you defined.
But keep in mind that your data is made of materials which do not have a material group in their definition, noraml or not ?

Query Designer: Error-msg: Please enter a valid value for charact 1FORMULA

Hello BI friends,
when I open a query in the Query Designer (or change query from BEx Analyzer) I get this message. There is no detail description for the message. After pressing the OK-button in the message I get an u201Demptyu201D Query Designer (to create a new or open a query).
The query contains some formulas, I know. I have checked the query by starting it via RSRT and debugging. There is only a warning (exception contains a non-numeric value).
But how can I check the formulas, exceptions or something else if the Query Designer doesnu2019t show the query definition?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Karen,
thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately I didn't mention yet that we have BI 7.0, but I'm using a 3.x query and 3.x QD. The query has not been transfered to 7.0 level (I hope it, since other colleagues work in the system too). How can I check the level (3.x / 7.0) of the query?
I have checked the table RSZRANGE, but I didn't find any row for the char. 1FORMULA, I have checked the fields IOBJNM, FACIOBJNM and ATTRINM. I also didn't find a row for RSRREPDIR-COMPUID = RSZRANGE-ELTUID. Did I search in a wrong way?
I have also checked the program COMPONENT_RESTORE, but I didn't start it for the IProv, comp type = REP and the special query, because I'm not sure what I'm doing there exactly (the program has no documentation).
Is it still the same way as you have described under these conditions?
Best wishes

Selection varuable on Compounded Info Object in Query Designer

Hi,
To identify the inconsistencies inconsistencies in the source system abt the description
I am Text Description of Application Status Source System dependent
Application Status is compounded on Source System....
There will be 3 values for Application Status
N - New
R - Renewal in Progress
C - Complete
And i had 12 Different source Systems
As per my requirment i made selection variable on Application Status in the Query..So if the user want to see all ther complete application he has to select 12 different values (App Status is compounded on Source System)
Is there any way that i can fix this in query designer so that user will have a option to select either of 3 Values (N,R,C)
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, it is simple.You have to create a variable on "source system" too and put it on the selection screen. Make it mandatory and put it above the variable for application status on the selection screen. So after the user selects the system from which he wants the data, he will see only three options in the F4 help of the "application status".
Regards,
Shweta
P.S. Assign points if it helps.

Value for a characteristic changed with an other value in Query Design

I want to change the value for a characteristic (Type) in Query Design (not the description, the value).
In my cube I have these values:
Customer *** Type
22222********SmallCorp
22223********SmallCorp
22224********MedCorp
The report should like:
Customer *** Type
22222********LEGALENTITIES
22223********LEGALENTITIES
22224********LEGALENTITIES
Or only the "SmallCorp" value should be changed in LEGALENTITIES.
How to do that?
Thanks,
Dragos

You can write an exit to replace Type SmallCorp to LEGALENTITIES.
But this will reflect in other queries too....
Or If change in modelling is still an option, you can add one more Type 2 in the cube and update in the transformation with Constant = LEGALENTITIES. Use the Type 2 in the queries.

Cell definition choice in Query Designer is inactive

In the Query Designer the choice "Define cells" is inactive, or grayed out. Why is this? Is there a global setting or does it have something to do with the query itself?

Hi TMV,
if you want to see the "cell " option in active mode , first u must have two structures.
one is charactersitc structure and on key figure.
Just go throw the below description.
Hi,
just go throw the below description:
In the Query Designer, choose View ® Cells from the menu bar to reach the functions of the cell definition. The Cells screen area is displayed.
New selection
1. Select a cell in the Cell screen area and choose New Selection with the secondary mouse button. The new selection that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
2. Select the new selection and choose Edit from the context menu. The Change Selection Cells dialog box appears. Make the basic settings on the General tab page.
3. Use Drag&Drop to define your required selection by dragging a key figure and the characteristic values by which you want to restrict the key figure to the right-hand area of the Details of the Selection dialog box. See Defining Selections.
You can use characteristic value variables instead of fixed characteristic values.
- If you want to change an existing variable, select the variable and choose Edit from the context menu. The variables editor appears and you can change the settings.
- If you want to define a new variable, select the characteristic value and choose New Variable from the context menu. The new variable is displayed. Choose Edit from the context menu of the new variable. The variables editor appears and you can define the settings.
For more information, see Defining Variables.
4. Enter a description for the selection.
You can use text variables in the description.
5. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the selection on the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Properties.
6. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
New formula
1. Select a cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Formula from the context menu. The new formula that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
2. Select the new formula and choose Edit from the context menu. The Change Formula Cell dialog box appears. Make the basic settings on the General tab page.
3. Define your formula using the operands and functions available. See Defining Formulas.
4. Enter a description of the formula.
You can use text variables in the description.
5. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the formula in the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Properties.
6. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
New cell reference
You can use any cell that you define in a formula. If you want to reuse the value from the implicit, generic cell definition that is automatically created at the intersection of the two structural components of a query, select this cell in the Cell screen area and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Cell Reference. A description taken from the two structural components now automatically appears in the cell. The symbol shows you that a cell reference exists for this exception cell. Now you can reference this cell. You can continue to use the implicit cell definition and do not have to manually generate this value using a new selection.
Functions of explicitly defined cells:
Select a defined cell and choose the required function from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
● Edit
● Cut
● Copy
● Paste
● Remove
● Where-Used List
Before you delete a cell, you can check for the formulas in which the defined cell is used in the where-used list.
You reach the properties of a defined cell by selecting the defined cell. In the Properties screen area you can also make changes such as:
● Changing the description of the cell
● Changing the highlighting of the cell
● Hiding the cell ( if you do not want to see the values of the cell)
Help cells
In the Help Cells area you can define additional cells for help selections or help formulas. You can use the functions New Selection and New Formula in the context menu to define help cells that are not displayed in the query to serve only as objects for help selections and help formulas.
For example, you can define an invoice in a help cell and use this in a real cell to calculate a duplicated invoice.
a. Using the secondary mouse button, click on the empty cell next to Help Cells to reach the context menu. From here, choose New Selection.
b. Use Drag&Drop to drag the Invoice key figure into the right-hand Details of the Selection area.
c. Enter a description.
d. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
e. Now choose New Formula from the context menu of the required cell of the query. The new formula that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
f. Select the new formula and choose Edit from the context menu.
g. Use Drag&Drop to drag the cell you have just defined, which you can find in the Available Operands window under Cells, into the Detail View window. Click on the button twice.
h. Enter a description.
i. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
Result
You have defined one or more exception cells for a query.
Regards,
Shailaja

Condition judgement in Query Designer

Hi,gurus.
I want to realize the function as follows:
If VALUE <= 0 then display VALUE as 0.
if VALUE >0 then display VALUE.
How to realize that in query designer? I've tried to create a formular but I can not find IF condition in Functions.
Thanks,for a lot.

Hi,
In the query designer you will have to create a new formula and in the right hand side panel you can use "COUNT" function from Data Functions folder to satisfy your requirement.
There is one more similar function in Data Functions (I don't remember exact name now) which you can check, from description it will be clear to understand which one to use.
Regards,
Durgesh.
