F4 Help in Variable Screen during Query Execution

Hi All,
We are executing queries through WAD. The F4 help in the variable screen during query execution is taking a lot of time.
SAP note 661251 suggests changing the F4 mode to M. We need to change the booked value parameter.
I looked into the standard WAD web template but i'm not seeing any options/ooked value parameter.
Please suggest where I need to go to change the parameter. Thanks.
Regards,
Vivek

Not much experience in WAD but I think there should be a query in BEx Query Designer.
There you can choose that characteristics which takes time. Select "Advanced" tab from right hand side.
Under "Filter Value Selection During Query Execution" you will get 4 options.
BTW if you have a query on DSO then creating index ( secondary) on the affected characteristics would also resolve your problem

Finding number of working days during query execution

Hi ,
We have a requirement to calculate number of working days during query execution. In the cube we got "received date", this will be used as a variable in the query. Based on the received date value entered, query needs to display number of products received from past 1, 2,3,4 days (working days should include weekends or public holidays).
1day 2 days 3 days 4 days 5 days
10 12 20 15 20
to me it appears as I need to create virtual key figures.
Regards,
Ramz

Hi ramesh,
First try to create formula variables for start data and end date to calculate the no of working days.
Create a Variable ZSTDT --of type replacement path.
Type of Variable = Formula
Variable Name = ZSTDT
Characteristic = <info object>
For Intervals Use = Select From Value
Offset Start = 0000 Offset Length = 0000
Replacement var with : key
use the same steps to create one more formula variable to get end date.
Now create a formula to get the No of days.
once after getting no of days you can create buckets as per your need.

Change of Row Property during query execution possible?

Hello Experts,
is it possible to change the row property during query execution?
In the case an input ready IP query can be executed for different customers. Depending on the customer class (attribute of customer), a certain row (containing account data) should be input ready or only be shown, but not input ready.
How can this be achieved?
Thank you!
Angie

Hi Angie,
To determine the input readiness at Run time based on the master data value of a particular characteristic value (In your case Customer),
you can create data slice of type exit .
The data slice is based on an exit class. In the exit class, you can implement a customer-specific logic to protect data records.
Please refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/0c033316cd2bc4e10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm
for more information.
By using this, the required rows will be shown but not input ready ( As per your requirement)
Hope this info helps. Or do let us know !!

Determine Partition usage during query execution

InfoCube is partitioned using 0CALMONTH from 2003 to 2011- (34 partitions, 4 partitions/year). However during query execution variable prompts are used for Fiscal year and posting period.
1) Is there a way to find out 0CALMONTH partition is used in this case ?
2) Is it possible to display or capture the number of partitions used during query execution ?

Variable Screen for query view is hidden

Hi All,
   I caome across an old query in BW 3.5 which is haiving some mandatory variables. There is a query view for the same query but when i am executing the query view i didn't got any variable screen and its running for some predefined value. How one can hide the variable screen for query view.
   How can i achieve the same for a BI 7 query view. Please guide.
Regards:
Jitendra

Hi Rakesh,
    What you said is right but my concern is that next time when i open the query view variable screen shouldn't appear ie should run with previously stored variable values. I am working with BI 7 query view. Please guide.

Invisible index getting accessed during query execution

Hello Guys,
There is a strange problem , I am encountering . I am working on tuning the performance of one of the concurrent request in our 11i ERP System having database 11.1.0.7
I had enabled oradebug trace for the request and generated tkprof out of it. For below query which is taking time , I found that , in the trace generated , wait event is "db file sequential read" on an PO_LINES_N10 index but in the generated tkprof , for the same below query , the full table scan for PO_LINES_ALL is happening , as that table is 600 MB in size.
Below is the query ,
===============
UPDATE PO_LINES_ALL A
SET A.VENDOR_PRODUCT_NUM = (SELECT SUPPLIER_ITEM FROM APPS.IRPO_IN_BPAUPDATE_TMP C WHERE BATCH_ID = :B1 AND PROCESSED_FLAG = 'P' AND ACTION = 'UPDATE' AND C.LINE_ID =A.PO_LINE_ID AND ROWNUM = 1 AND SUPPLIER_ITEM IS NOT NULL),
LAST_UPDATE_DATE = SYSDATE
===============
Index PO_LINES_N10 is on the column LAST_UPDATE_DATE , logically for such query , index should not have got used as that indexed column is not in select / where clause.
Also, why there is discrepancy between tkprof and trace generated for the same query .
So , I decided to INVISIBLE the index PO_LINES_N10 but still that index is getting accessed in the trace file .
I have also checked the below parameter , which is false so optimizer should not make use of invisible indexes during query execution.
SQL> show parameter invisible
NAME TYPE VALUE
optimizer_use_invisible_indexes boolean FALSE
Any clue regarding this .
Thanks and Regards,
Prasad

Hi Dom,
Sorry for the late reply , but yes , an update statement is trying to update that index even if it's invisible.
Also, it seems performance issue started appearing when this index got created , so now I have dropped that index in test environment and ran the concurrent program again with oradebug level 12 trace enabled and found bit improvement in the results .
With index dropped -> 24 records/min got processed
With index -> 14 records/min got processed
so , I am looking forward without this index in the production too but before that, I have concerns regarding tkprof output. Can we further improve the performance of this query.
Please find the below tkprof with and without index .
====================

UPDATE PO_LINES_ALL A SET A.VENDOR_PRODUCT_NUM = (SELECT SUPPLIER_ITEM FROM

A.PO_LINE_ID AND ROWNUM = 1 AND SUPPLIER_ITEM IS NOT NULL),

There is a lot increase in the CPU ,so I would like to further tune this query. I have run SQL Tuning task but didn't get any recommendations for the same.
Since in the trace , I have got db scattered read wait event for the table "PO_LINES_ALL" but disk reads are not much , so am not sure the performance improvement even if I pin this table (620 MB in size and is it feasible to pin , SGA is 5GB with sga_target set ) in the shared pool .
I have already gathers stats for the concerned tables and rebuilt the indexes .
Is there any other thing that can be performed to tune this query further and bring down CPU, time taken to execute.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Prasad

F4 input help on Variable screen is not working on Portal

Dear Experts,
We are facing one issue when we run the WAD report on portal, variable screen gets hang after clicking on input help button (F4) for couple of variables. We are facing same issues when we run the base queries on portal. But when we run the same base queries in RSRT (Tcode) or in BEx Analyzer we are not facing this issue and able to get the input help screen with values.
I also have gone through some old posts related to such issues but didn't help much. We are already on SAP BW 7.4 SP Level 008 and for Char IO Query Filter Value setting is kept as "Values in Master Data Table" only. This is a MD IO with Compounding.
Kindly let me know if anyone has faced such issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Nilesh

Dear Martin,
There is a no long running work process in the backend and data volume is more in Master Data Table, there are around 19 Lacks records available.
For BI Java patch and defaultTrace for errors I will check it with BASIS Admin team. Unfortunately I don’t have rights to do same.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Input help in variable screen

Hi,
I'm having a query on top of 0EMPLOYEE. 0EMPLOYEE has an attribute of a business unit (which has the default BEx settings of display as text) and I have a selection option variable on top of this attribute.
Previously, on BW 3.x the variable screen used to show both the key and text, regardless of the settings in the BEx tab of the infoobject definition. in BEx Web JAVA it will only let me have the text selection. is it possible to change that without changing the default settings in the BEx tab of the infoobject definition?

AMFPHP and AS3FLEXDB - how to disable 'busy indicator' during query execution ?

I'm doing some experiments with Flex and SQL with use of as3flexdb and AMFPHP.
I've written some application which is pushing some data to SQL base...
problem is, that durring query execution, there is some 'busy indicator' on the screen
- some circle, and word 'loading'.
Have you any idea how to disable this ?
Everything what I'm doing is based on this tutorial below, but there is no idea in it how to
disable the indicator.
http://ghalex.com/blog/tag/as3flexdb
I'm not sure if this indicator comes from as3flexdb libraries or AMFPHP itself ?
Has anyone of you had such problem before ??
Thanks for all ideas

Issue in F4 help in variable screen of the report

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with Bex query, there are two navigational attributes in query, those are NAV1 and NAV2 and we have created two variable for these attributes,
When we run the query in analyzer and in the variable screen we are trying to select values for these attributes from F4 help, we are able to see both the values in each attribute.
For example NAV 1 has 100 vlues and NAV2 has 100 values, when we click on F4 help on the NAV1 attribute in variable screen we are able to see 200 entries, means it's including NAV2 values, it is vise-versa for the NAV2 attribute also.
I ran the same report in RSRT and click on F4 help for NAV1 and NAV2 attributes, here entris are fine,each attribute showing only 100 entries.
What could be reason for this issue.
Could you please adivce me how to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat Kalla

Hi,
Please check Note 1495735 - 'check of changed records between DB and BIA after changerun'.
If BIA is in use then this can be the cause.
Otherwise check Note 1517248 - 'F4 help uses M mode instead of D mode for line item characteristic'.
Finally, verify the read modes for both InfoObjects:

Help with variable screen

Hi ,
I have some problem at the variable screen. When I click the possible entries for 0calmonth in the query selection screen and I could not able to see the possible entries. The screen comes blank. When I check for 0calday and ocalweek i get the possible entries.
I have checked the data inside the infoprovider and the data is available in it. I have tried activating the 0calmonth again. I have tried all the possible options. Please help as it is very urgent.
Regards
Raghu

Hi,
Probably for the selections given while entering the query, the 0calmonth might not have been present.
Check in the infoprovider with the same selection parameters you are initialling giving while running the query and c whether the calmonth is there or not?
Also once check infoprovder whether the 0calmonth is updating r not

F4 Input Help in Variable Screen takes about 30 Minutes to display.

Hello Experts,
We have a web-report in which the time taken to display all the entries in F4 Input Help of the variable screen takes about 30 minutes. Have anyone experienced so long a wait time while accessing F4 Input Help in the variable screen and is there anything that we can do to reduce this wait time.

VC 7.0 - Performance during query execution

Hi Experts,
we have built an VC cockpit wich includes ~35 Querys.
When the user opens the cockpit the VC modell starts all 35 querys.
When we start the querys in the SAP BI System (RSRT) they all need less than 1 sek each.
Our BI system is able to handel 40 querys simultaneous.
Our problem is that the cockpit need ~40 sec. until all querys have been finished.
We suppose, that the VC starts all querys seriell instead of parallel.
Is there any configuration where i can switch between parallel and serial mode?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Florian

Hello,
Using the dedicated connection for nested iViews feature, was good thinking.
But - since the execution time of your queries is relatively short compared to the overall time for the "running a query" process, i.e. the HTTP request for execution, creating the connection on portal side, executing the query, returning the result and displaying it on the Flex runtime. --
all the other factors in this equations takes more time (relatively) than the query execution itself. (~1 seconds).
That is the reason why you don't observe major changes between running your 40 queries on a single connection or on multiple connections.
This feature was intended for queries that run for a long period of time. (tens of seconds or minutes)
in such queries, you will see the difference.

Bookmark shows Variable Screen when Query use a Prequery

Hi Guys,
i have a Problem. I have a Query which use a Prequery. i can execute the Query on Web and save this by Bookmark. If i open the Bookmark the Variablescreen was displayed. Usually when i open a query without prequery and save the bookmark the query result was displayed.
Has anyone an Idea or solution for this problem?
Thx.

Hi Steffi,
Did you resolve the problem with the bookmark and the variable screen? I saw the same problem on a 3.5 system but cannot reproduce the problem on a 7.0 system. On which system did you see the problem? Did you solve it and how?
