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./

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

BExAnalyzer: Multiple use of the same Query in a Workbook - Command Button

Hy Gurus,
in my Workbook I have in Sheet 1 one Analysis Grid, defined as DP_1
in Sheet 2 it is an other Analysis Grid defined as DP_2
Both Data-Provider refer to the same technical BW Query.
If I add a Button (from the BEx Toolbar) and try to refresh the first query (with commands: PROCESS_VARIABLES and VAR_SUBMIT) both Queries will be refreshed with the same variable value, even if i mention "DP_1" as Data_Provider in the button.
But I don't want, that the second query is been refreshed too (with the same variable value).
In the workbook Settings, I already checked on: Allow refresh Function for Individual Queries.
Can anybody help?
Regards
Klaus

It is not a solution to copy the query. We will need this feature for about 50 Workbooks/Queries and so it is the problem to keep the copied queries consistent
If I refresh the Queries manual with the the "Change Variable Values" Button I get a pop-up with two fields where i can input two different values - here it works.
Can I achieve the same with the command buttons?
The definition of the first command button is like this:
Name                       Index     Value
DATA_PROVIDER     1           DP_1
CMD                           1          PROCESS_VARIABLES
SUBCMD                    1          VAR_SUBMIT
Command Range: A2:C5 (there is the Name, Value, Sign and Operator of the Variable).
The second command Button:
Name                       Index     Value
DATA_PROVIDER     1           DP_2
CMD                           1          PROCESS_VARIABLES
SUBCMD                    1          VAR_SUBMIT
Command Range: A12:C15 (with a different Value of the Variable).
If there is one query in the workbook it works fine, but not for two queries, even if I change the Index of the second button to 2.
Thank you for your hints.
Regards
Klaus

Refresh query when opening workbook is ticked automatically

Prior to Upgrade, the bex properties settings for "Refresh query when
opening workbook" was unticked(deactivated) and now after upgrade to BI
7.0 the bex properties "Refresh query when opening the workbook" is
ticked(activated).
Again, This has happened only to a particular strand.
Can anybody guide me on this. As a result of the above, all the work books are now refreshing automatically. This has affected hunderds of workbooks and we need to restore this back. Please help.

Hi Dave,
That is a local workbook setting. The setting is stored in the workbook on the sheet named SAPBEXqueries (see earlier postings on how to make this worksheet visible).
If there is only one query in the workbook, then look at at cell U4. This cell will read TRUE if the setting is check (do refresh on open) and will read FALSE if the setting is not checked (do not refresh on open).
One way to be sure that this setting is not altered would be to create a subroutine for the Workbook_BeforeClose event. The user then can make any selection they like, but you will over-ride it when they close the workbook.
Hope this helps.

#REF! appearing in the workbook cells

Hi gurus,
When there are values for the query selection, the workbook will present the values properly but when there are no values for a perticular selection criteria of the query- #REF! appeares in the workbook cells. I think there are cell references in the workbook. Now the client does not want that '#REF!' to appear, he wants zero to appear if values are not there. Pls advice how to achieve this?
Thanks & Regards,
Shreesh.

Hi Shreesh,
You can give an IF condition for the cells referencing the #REF! value as
if ( cell reference = "#REF!", 0 )
Also, have a look at the forum below:
Bex Excel prolem with cell references
Hope this helps u.!

Error while executing the workbook query.

Hi guyz
i'm getting an error while executing the workbook Query. The actual problem is there is a filter for REQUID in the query definition for removing the doble count. there is customer exit written. the report works fine in DEVELOPMENT but it is not working in quality.
The query on which this workbook is created is working fine, but the problem is when we execute the workbook i'm facing this issue.
we re-transported the queries but still we are facing the same problem.
while we execute the query we are prompted for variable entry(Optional) for date. when we press OK we get the below error
" NO SID value found for the value REQU_4DQT75Y2RJPVT4PXZ4LHC70V3 of characteristic"
the request is not available in the BW system. the request was deleted long back, but it is still referring to the same the request id
could someone please tell me where we went wrong and why we are getting this error.
Regards,
Anil Vadde

Hey ,I think data load to your target on which the query was based had some issue.
Can you check the data load to the data target.change the status of request concerned to red and delete.do reconstruct if neeed..I think the request had some issue.
Even you can go to RSRQ or RSMO and filter on the basis of this request and see its status.

Date Customer Exit in the query is not reflecting in the workbook

Hello.
We have a BI 7.0 Query where we have a restriction for req del date and billing date to show the month of current date - 2.
We have written 2 customer exit variables and we have restricted the same. The query is working well.
For Broadcasting, we have created a workbook for this query and saved it under a role.
The workbook is fine running for the current month., But if the month changes to the next, the workbook is not reflecting the same.
Still only Old dates are available in the workbook.
Please let me know if i am doing any mistake

Hi Karthik,
If the customer exit variable is of type i_step = 1, ie if it is a manual entry variable as well, then this will not get updated based on teh month of execution.
Kindly check the article below for info.

The workbook report no authorization, but related query can show part data

Dear All,
We meet an error, The workbook report no authorization, but related query can show part data.
We have a workbook, it have 1 queries, and when we key in condition to run it, in one field we put on one more condition(Z3XXX = ' WZO' & ' WZA")(User didn't have authorization for this condition), and workbook report no authorization.
Then we checked authorization check log and it show "You do not have sufficient authorization on Z3XXX = ' WCO'.
But when we execute the related query with same condition. the query can open and show WZA's data.
I'd like to know the reason.
thanks & Best Regards,
Kent Yu

Query changes are not reflecting in the Workbook.

Hi All,
I have modified the query by adding attributes. But the changes are not reflecting in the workbook.
Do i need to insert the query again in the workbook or is there any option that will reflect the changes in the workbook
Thanks in Advance,
Suneel.

Hello Suneel,
if you insert the query again, it will work, but it is not the best way to delegate the query changes to the workbook.
Just open your query from within your workbook (BEx menu 'change global definition') and use the green button at the top left in order to transfer the new query structure to the workbook. The query will be executed and you should see the changes.
Don't forget to save the workbook afterwards.

Kirill

Refresh Queries - runs a query that is not in the workbook ??

I have a workbook with a number of BW queries. NONE of these queries have a RRI setup.
If I select Refresh Query when not selecting any one particular query - another query is run. The query that is run is NOT in the workbook. None of the queries in the workbook are refreshed which is the norm.
This behavior is just happening in one workbook
We are using BW 3.5.
Thanks
Gill

Gill,
We had a similar issue a while back (see [Query Refresh goes to Saved View?;), but never found a solution other than recreating the workbook.
In our case, I believe the user may have deleted a worksheet without first deleting the query that was on it. That is one possibile explanation for what you are seeing.
Hope you have better luck resolving this than we did. (I will be watching!)

How to Find the Query used by the Workbook ?

Hi ,
I am currently involved in trouble shooting a work book where some master data values are not being displayed.
How do i find, which Query the work books is using ? or Let me know as to how should i proceed in solving the same .

Hi,
If you have access to BW Admin workbench... then choose the option metadatarepository(left side) of the BW admin workbench, search for the workbook(Technical name) and click on the "Network display dataflow" link.
If you want to know the relationship between workbook and the queries:
Check table RSRWORKBOOK which contains the WORKBOOKID and the GENUNIID.
Table RSRREPDIR contains GENUNIID, query name RNAME, AUTHOR, LASTUSER, INFOCUBE
Table RSRINDEXT contains the WORKBOOKID and workbook TITLE
You should join the tables by GENUNIID and select in RSRREPDIR the rows that have COMPTYPE='REP' for queries and object version active/modified.
With this information an infoset query can be created to list all workbook-query-user relationship (and even the query-infocube relationship).
Hope this helps u...
Regards,
KK.

How to re-assign the query to a workbook after changes.

Hi Experts,
I have added new variables to the selection screen of a Query.
This query is also being used in some workbook.
How can i reflect this change in Selection variables to Workbook also.
When i re-assign the data-provider to the report, it restores the default layout of query.
The changes of workbook are lost.
How can the changes in query be reflected in Workbook, without having to create the workbook again.
Any pointers on this would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Delegation is also a standard workflow administration functionality; it is not specific to MDG. There is a "substitution" button in the workflow inbox that a user can setup. When people leave on vacation, they should set it up. When they leave the company, I would this delegation will be one of the last things on their minds. That's where Workflow Admin delegation is needed: transaction RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE.
As far as escalation, there is a "reminder" that you can set in the rule-based BRF+ decision table. However, it is very limited and only goes to the responsible person him-/herself. For real escalation to a manager or another support group, you will need to build a completely new custom workflow template that includes your escalation rules or at least a "sub-workflow" template that you can call from within the standard rule-based workflow template.
