Detach a query from workbook

Dear all,
We'd like to detach a query from a workbook in BI7.0.
In BW35 thre was the possibility to do so under option 'Tools'.
Does anybody know how to do this in BI70?
I saw a workaround in earlier thread: delete data provider in design mode. But if I do so I lose my data.
Kind regards, Harjan

Hi Balaji,
Thanks for your response. I'm aware of this functionality, but this is not what the endusers like.
They like to store the output (query result) as a 'flat' excelfile without any relation to the query.
This saves a lot of diskspace. With the query attached the file is 10 Mb and without 'query attached it's 1 Mb.
So I just need the output.
Kind regards, Harjan

Find query from workbook

I want to change a sheet in workbook (i.e I want to insert selections for only one sheet) but when I goto that sheet and then goto change query global def it shows "please select the query".Please tell me how to find out from where the data is coming on that sheet and how to change that.

Seacrch in metadata repository with your workbook name.You will find Query used.
and Query sheet is hidden in your workbook?
format>sheet>unhide>select Query.Then place the cursor on Query output>change Query global definition.

How to detach/delete queries from workbooks

One of our users has a huge workbook with over 200 queries. He wanted to remove part of the queries but instead of deleting the queries he removed the excel tabpages with the queries as a result of wich the connection with the queries is still there.
Is there a way to remove the connected queries without having to remove all queries ?
Refreshing all queries is not an option.
I also tried to remove the records in table RSRWORKBOOK but this also didn't remove the connection, after opening and saving the workbook in Bex, the removed records in RSRWORKBOOK appeared in the table again.

Hi Tine.
Try to add this VB code to the WB:
<i>Sheets("SAPBEXqueries").visible = True
To make it quite invisible again, the command is:
Sheets("SAPBEXqueries").visible = xlSheetVeryHidden</i>
This makes the sheets with the information used in the workbook visible (you will find the queries in sheet 1). You can try to delete the queries from here. I don't know if it works, but just an idea.
Hope it helps.

Detaching a query int the workbook

Hi, one favor:
some one could tell me about if a query can be reattached if you know the proper password or if you refresh the entire workbook ??
And if the query results keep visible after the query is detached , or if only a few of the OLAP navigation functions keep active for a detached query ??
Thanks in advanced,
Best whishes,

Yes you can deattach and reattach the query from the workbook. There is "remove" and "attach" qwuery button which will let you do the same.
When you de attach query and reatatch query, you neeed to delete result rows and other data from excewl by clearing ( Edit -> clear; top menu) and save workbook again.
Hope i m clear./

Remove a query from a workbook

Hello,
I'm trying to remove a query from a workbook like I did many times in the past. In some of the workbooks this option works and in some it doesnt. when i use "mark queries in the workbook" it marks the query that i want to remove so i'm sure the query is fine.
Did someone had this problem in the past?
Thank you,
David

David,
We were on SP 12 and had this issue (we also had the issue of selecting Properties in the Analyzer of the query and nothing happens), our basis guys have installed SP13 and so far I've had no reoccurrence of it.

HELP! How to make RRI from BEX query into Workbook with one report???

How to make RRI from query into Workbook???

Hi Alex,
A workbook is a set format of queries, so when you try to jump to another query , you will definitely open another session and hence another excel file. This is the same for web templates also though you have an option of opening the new result in the same window.
You would have to use some macros and open the query on the same page. A RRI is a query jump and not a drill down . A drill down would be getting more of the dimensions into the query.

Call BEX-Query from VBA with BEX-automatic login?

Hi,
I'm trying to call a query from VBA. I have two problems/questions:
1. Automatic login?
I want to do an automatic login. I found this peace of code here, but I get an error:
Public Function LogonToYourBW()
' create Logon & RFC-Handle
logonToBW = False clear connect Flag the flag can be used to find out if connected or not
    'load SAP functionality by opening BEX file ( use your installation path)
        Workbooks.Open (c:\sappc\bw\sapbex.xla)
    With Run("sapbex.xla!sapbexGetConnection") call the connection
       ' Set the params for Auto logon
       .client = YOUR CLIENT NO
       .user = YOUR BW USER
       .Password = YOUR BW PWD I recommend to create a dummy reporting user for this task
       .Language = YOUR LANGUAGE YOU LIKE TO USE FOR QUERY DISPLAY ( i.E. EN)
       .SystemNumber = YOUR SYSTEM NO
       .ApplicationServer = YOUR SERVER Name OR IP-ADDRESS
       .UseSAPLOgonIni = FALSE 'important for automatic connection
       .logon 0, True This will provide a dialog to appear
        If .IsConnected <> 1 Then
            .logon 0, False
            If .IsConnected <> 1 Then Exit Function
        Else
            Set g_oFunction = CreateObject("SAP.Functions")
            Set g_oFunction.Connection = g_oConnection
        End If
    End With
    Run "sapbex.xla!sapbexinitConnection" this will enable the connection you just created
    logonToBW = True
End Function
The error is by this row:
Set g_oFunction.Connection = g_oConnection
Object is needed! How is the g_oConnection-object defined?
2. How can I pass values for the parameters from VBA?
If I open the query usually from SAP-BEX-Toolbar, after selecting the query, I get a parameter mask, where I must put in a value. How can I this automatize from VBA? Has anybody a short samplecode for that?
Thank you for your help

Peter and others:
What I really want to do is write a stand-alone application that I can run from windows scheduler that queries our BW for sales data for certain items (in a tabular form) and pulls that data into a VB recordset, or a .NET dataset so that I can insert the rows into another database (SQL Server, or Access) I already know how to do all the data movement to/from datasets and databases I just cannot figure out how to programmatically grab this sales data from BW our company has workbooks already set up that aggregate WW sales information by region (IE, there is a separate workbook for each region of the world) I can manually go into the Excel interface, tell it which items to pull the sales info for, and it dumps the data into the worksheet (organized by customer, and then by cat #)
So, what Id like to do is write an app that will pull data every week or so from the BW (from each regions sales invoice detail workbook), and insert it into another database that we use for reporting other, non-sales, data.
Thoughts on this ? Is there another, non-BEx method that is better ?
thanks !!

Query and Workbook BI 7.0

Hi
I am in BI 7.0
1)I created a query X and saved it as workbook. When I edit the changes in query, I don't see the changes reflected in workbook.I thought if I change the query or workbook, the changes should take place.
2) I have to create 12 queries of same structure but contains different hardcoded costcenters.Can somebody advice me what is the best method to accomplish the above requirement.Should I create query or query views and what major differences did you guys observe between Query and Query View from your expereince and practices...

Hi Jacky,
If you change the query this way you wont have to re-insert the query each time you make changes.
1. Open the workbook.
2. Select the query by clicking on it. Then use the Edit query option from the toolbar.
3. Make changes to the query.
4. Execute the query by clicking the Green check mark.
5. After making sure that the changes have been applied, save the workbook.
Hope this helps...

How to transport modified query from Dev to QA??

Hi All,
I have made a few changes to a query that has already been transported to QA from Dev. I have removed an Infoobject and introduced a new Infoobject and other such changes.
Now I would like to transport the "new version" of the same query from Dev to QA again so that all the new changes are reflected in QA environment as well.
What steps or procedures do I need to follow for this please?
Thanks for your time,
Regards,
Reddy

Reddy,
BW reporting objects (query / Workbook / WAS tempalte) change transport system is different than other BW development objects (Infoobjects, cubes, transfer/update rules etc..).
Before you start making changes to any Query objects (which are already transported before), first you need to assign the respective Request in the "Transport Connection" tab (click on the BEX with truck symbol icon) and assign your request with the package name.
hope this helps a little..
Good luck

Problem class important error while executing Query from favorites

Hi Experts,
1. I have tried execute the query from favorites it is showing the error message. " Problem class important"
In the message text: logs showing error message [Attached the message screenshot].
2. From "Query Designer" Execute [Ctrl+R] gives the error "500 Internal Server Error" [Attached the screenshot]
3. Able to execute the reports from RRMX.
No ST22 dumps. Can any one suggest about...how to rectify the errors.
Thanks in advance...Surya

Need tyo make sure the problem is with the query/workbook are general issue with all workbooks/query.
1. Make sure the base query of work book is still executable. RRMX/RSRT.
2. Execute the work book in Bex/Excel and look for definition of workbook; there might be some thing in the workbook referencing other than base query.
3. If other workbook are also not working? need to check if other users have same issue.?
Hope this will help to narrow the problem.

Thanks Bernd: I am using Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro. I did get a response from Dave Marchant which directed me how to find the layers icon and I found the options icon as suggested in Adobe Help. However, the options do not allow me to choose an option of either merging layers or flattening layers. I am a novice at this and am trying to get this 1-page pdf graphic to convert to a Word document. Is it possible that I already have a single layer pdf and that Word is doing something weird during the conversion? I tried to convert the document yesterday and I ended up with two pages in Word. One page had the text boxes and one had the river channels on which the text boxes had been inserted. This is not a document I created. We have been struggling for 5 years at various times to get this one page document into Word so that it can be used in multiple reports. Even the graphics departments at a couple of companies have not been able to get this document resized from the original 11 x 17 format into 8.5 x 11. I managed to get that done yesterday. But now can't get a useable version into Word. Suggestions?

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.
