Filter value selection for the query execution

Dear experts!
I am working with an input ready query (which is over an aggregation level), and we need to display in the selection variable screen the values for a charateristic from the InfroProvider, not from the Master Data. I don't mind how to do this, but I need to do it and for the moment it seems impossible. I've read note 984229 and in there it says that:
<i>'Only Values in InfoProvider'
In this case, only values of characteristics that are posted in the InfoCube dimensions or in the DataStore are used for the input value request. This D-mode is valid for InfoCubes or the DataStore as an InfoProvider and for MultiProviders that have only InfoCubes and/or a DataStore as part providers. An exception to this is characteristics that are modeled as a Line Item Dimension. D-mode is not supported for this.</i>
I am over an aggregation level, and thus SAP says it is not possible with the F4, but I don't mind if I have to code whatever, but I need someway to do this.......
I need whatever type of solution......I am open to any kind of help you can provide me...... =) please!!!!
Points will be given to helpful answers
Thanks and kind regards.

Could you please check as per Note 1565809 and make sure the F4 mode is really M mode in each level settings?

What's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and

Hi Gurus,
what's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn" in info-object's "Business explorer" tab?
I found out that if my info-object A has a input-ready variable in a query,after the query running,in the selection screen,my info-object A's F4 value is follow the setting of "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn",as the setting of "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" I tried every diff setting, it won't effect my query anyway.
so:
1.what's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn" in info-object's "Business explorer" tab?
2.how they effect query's presentation?
I searched forum,didn't find the answer what I want.
Thanks everyone.

Hi Denny,
I will try to explain it again.
Query Def. Filter Value Selection : Let say the value is set to "Only Values in Infoprovider"
Lets take an example infoobject - 0MATERIAL (Material)
Total material records in material Master = 1000 (master Data table /BI0/PMATERIAL)
You create a query on top of an Infoprovider using Material.
Total unique materials in Infoprovider= 500.
Now when you are in design mode in Query Designer, and you try to restrict Material by few materials (for e.g. 1, 2, and 3), for this you right click on material and select Restrict, the pop-up opens with list of materials, this list is all those 500 materials which are in the infoprovider, because the setting is "Only Values in Infoprovider". Which means then when you are trying to restrict a characterstic in query definition the list of values displayed for restricition is derived from Infoprovider.
Query Execution Filter Value Selection - I think you already know what it is , its the read mode for F4 help selection.
I hope this helps.
Thanks

How can I reduce the selection for the characteristics value in a BW query

Good morning,
I need to find out how I can reduce the selection for the characteristics values in a BW query.
In a BW query I have a characteristic "Due month".
The characteristic values shown in the query are from 01.2001->03.2007. I would like to reduce it to the last 2 years,in the query view, without deleting the data for the other years in the cube.
Do you know how this can be done?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Linda Verding
Staff Consultant - CSC

hi,
First thing you have to do is check the report how the data is being restricted only to those months.
1) one it can be variable in which the code is written for that to populate for last few years.
or else it must have been hardcoded for these months.
Go into your report and underneath the characteristicsCALMONTH there must be an variable or hardcoding.
You need to change this here in the report.
You dont have to delete anything there.

Query Definition Filter Value Selection

Hi BW Experts,
This is regarding a navigation attribute restriction while defining a query.
When we are defining a query on multiprovider / basic infocube and trying to put a restriction from the context menu on a navigation attribute,the screen is hanging and the fixed values for restriction are appearing after 5 to 6 minutes.
While it should not take so much time, it should ideally display it in few seconds.
This is happening for all the navigation attributes.
Please share if anybody has faced this problem before or any suggestions regarding any settings at Infoobject, Basic cube or Multiprovider level.
Any relevant input would be highly appreciated and appropriate points would be awarded.
Best Regards
Praval Trivedi

Hello Praval,
it is BW3.5 or BI7.0?
Webreports or Excel?
If Webreports check the command "Read Mode" in WAD -> NAVIGATIONBLOCK
-> Master Data Table = fast
-> Dimension Table = medium
-> Posted Values = slow
Check the InfoObjects
-> Business Explorer
-> Query Def. Filter Value Selection
-> Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn

Query Def. Filter Value Selection

Hello,
We upgraded our BW Dev application from 3.0(b) to 3.5
When I go into Bex Query Designer and I want to see the values for my InfoObject: 0FISCPER, I see old values
Low Value: Period 15 2001 02/015/2001
High Value: Period 16 2005 02/016/2005
I am used to seeing 'Only values in InfoProvider'
I can get those values to display when I click 'Display other Values' and then check the box for 'Only Values in InfoProvider', But that should be the default, since in my InfoObject I have the Parameter: Query Def. Filter Value Selection set to 'Only values in InfoProvider'
Can some one help me, or am I misunderstanding something here.
This behavior works as expected on our BW 3.0(B) production box that has not yet been upgraded to BW 3.5
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
i have found a workaround for this issue.
I investigated the underlying tables for the InfoObject "Business Explorer" properties tab.
I found that the fieldname for that data Element in question (Query Def. Filter Value Selection) was RSF4DEFAULT.
I went to SE11 and entered RSF4DEFAULT as the 'Data Type' I then clicked the icon for "Where-Used List", I checked the box for 'Table Fields' and clicked OKay.
It came back with the following tables: RSDCHABAS and RSDDPA.
I went to SE16 and looked at RSDCHABAS for the characteristic (CHABASNM) 0FISCPER on my Development system and compared it to my Production system.
On development I saw we had the 'Active', 'Delivered', and 'Modified' version of the object, so I scrolled to the right to see the F4DEFAULT field value, it listed M, D, D respectively.
I checked out that table on Production and saw it had D, D, D.
So even though in the GUI for the infoObject I was seeing the correct selection, the corresponding base table was wrong. So I set the infoObject to Master data values and activated.
i looked at the underlying table again and it displayed M this time, So I went back to the infoobject and set it back to 'Only values in infoprovider" and activated the object.
Now I went back to teh underlying table and it reflected the value D in F4DEFAULT for the Active version.
When I went back to Query designer the default filter worked as expected!
So that is the work around. How the GUI became inconsistent with the DB tables is another question.

Data Driven Subscriptions Error - the query processor could not start the necessary thread resources for parallel query execution

Hi,
We are getting the following error when certain data driven subscriptions are fired off: "the query processor could not start the necessary thread resources for parallel query execution". I've read other posts that have the same error, and
the solution usually involves adjusting MaxDOP to limit the number of queries that are fired off in parallel.
Unfortunately, we cannot change this setting on our server for performance reasons (outside of data driven subscriptions, it negatively impacts our ETL processing times). We tried putting query hints like "OPTION (MAXDOP 2);" in the reports
that are causing the error, but it did not resolve the problem.
Are there any settings within Reporting Services that can be adjusted to limit the number of subscriptions that get fired off in parallel?
Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Yes, that is correct. It's a painful problem, because you don't know which specific subscription failed. For example, we have a data driven subscription that sends out about 800 emails. Lately, we've been having a handful of them fail. You don't know
which ones out of the 800 failed though, even from the RS log files - all it tells you is that "the
query processor could not start the necessary thread resources for parallel query execution".
Thanks, I'll try changing <MaxQueueThreads> and will let you know if it works.
On a side note: I've noticed that it is only reports with cascading parameters (ex. where parameter 2 is dependent on the selection from parameter 1) that get this error message...

Query Def. Filter Value Selection - to master data wont activate

Hi, I want to change the info object properties Query Def. Filter Value Selection to select Values in master data, but when I try to activate it, it goes back to the old selection "only values in info provider" is this because there is data already loaded and so it wont allow me to change or is there anything simple I am missing ??
Reason being I do not want to delete the data to make this setting in the info object maintanence...

hi ram,
Before u activate try "Checking" the Infoobject definition and see if you get any warning/error messages.
Then try activating it.
hope it helps,

Navigational Attribute Filter value selection not showing full name

Hi Experts,
We are having Navigational Attribute TM Responsible. We have created variable in BEX for it. When we are searching for value selection for this in RSRT, its showing only last name and key part. But If I dont pass any values, and display the result its showing full name. Please find the screen shots.
Customer needs full name to be available for selection in filter in above picture 1.
Please suggest what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Govind

Hi All,
The issue is resolved. Making display as Long text at Infoobject level and at Query display level was not working. Hence I tried to change the display at Multiprovider level as shown below. This fixed the issue.
Right click Navigational attribute -> Provider specific properties
Made the display as Long text.
This setting resolved the problem.
Thanks for help and replies.
Thanks,

Filter value selection in Queries takes a long time

Hello BW gurus....
I have a problem here. When a user tries to run a consolidated query it takes a long time. what are some of the performance tuning that can be done. My other issue is that once the query is run and the user tries to change the filter values say hes trying to restrict Cons group it takes like 30 min for the options to come up or even more than that and eventually fails. Is there any thing which i can do to improve the performance of these filter value selection option. we are on portal EP 6.0. I know this has nothing to do with interface but the crux of the problem is in the back end.
Any help is really appreciated
thanks

The Only Posted Values in Navigation generates a query that must examine most to your cube to find all filter options that correspond to your query. If the cube is large and you don't have much in the way of other restrictions, this can take a while. The benefit of this option is that the user is only presented with filter options that are in the domain they are interested in.
If you switch to either of the other options, the filter options are quickly deteremined by examing either the dimension or master table. The downside is that those filter options may not be in the data the your query would exclude, e.g.
Lets say you have a query on Bus Area and Cost Center.
- Master Data for Cost Centers = 0001 - 9999
- Cost Centers in your data are 0001 - 2999
- Only Cost Centers 1000 - 1099 in Bus Area 10.
If you have an input variable to select only Bus Area = 10 and run the query, then want to filter on Cost Center:
- with Only Values in Navigation, the user would only see Cost Centers 1000 - 1099 in the filter selection list.
- with Only Values in InfoProvider, the user would see Cost Centers 1000 - 2999.
- with Only Values in Master Data, user would see 0001 - 9999.
This may or may not be acceptable. If a user chooses Cost Center 2000, the query would copme back with No Available Data since ther are not transaction with Bus Area = 10 and Cost Center 2000.
Now lets say you are using CALMONTH, chances are the user would understand that if they select a November of 2006 while in August, they wouldn't get any data. They might understand what Cost Centers to expect back in Bus Area 10, but they may not be as familiar with all the values for all Characteristics.
Like everything else, there are pros + cons.

Problem with 0FIGL_VC1 when use constant selection in the query

Please kindly help me. I have this problem for 2 weeks already.
When I create a query from virtual cube 0FIGL_VC1 (balance sheets / p&l statements), if I use constant selection in any of key figure, my report could not display financial statment correctly.
My report layout
Columns : key figures (including 0FIGL_VC1_CK001)
Rows: 0GLACCEXT (financial statement item) << as hierarchy
Initially, the query is processed correctly.
However, based on the requirement from my customer, I really have to use "constant selection" for some of my columns. Whenever I do so, the query display incorrectly. (Some nodes of financial statement item just disappear. (it seem like all contra item will disappear.)
Please help!

If I dont use constant selection in the query, data are display correctly.
But If I use constant selection in the query, some financial statement item dont display any value
Example :
   Financial statement item(Display in hier)     Period1   Total Period1(Constant selection)
             A                                                       10            60
             B                                                       20            60
             C                                                       30            60
             D                                                       0              60
- Financial statement item "D" has some value.
- Financial statement item "D" is in the hierarchy,one gl account has been assigned to more than one group differentiated by debit/credit indicator.

Help for the query

hello,
I have a question again. The tables for the query are "Patient" and "Station".
Station-Table:
s_id, station
Patient-Table:
p_id, name, s_id, gender
I want to know how many Patient are Male and Female for each Station. That means that the output should be:
Station Male Female
S1 12 10
S2 6 4

I supposed the values in gender are 'M' for Male and 'F' for Female
select s.station, sum(decode(p.gender, 'M', 1, 0)) Male , sum(decode(p.gender, 'F', 1, 0)) Female
from station s, patient p
where s.s_id=p.s_id
group by s.station;

How to know if implementation with a filter value exist for a BAdI in code?

Hi all,
Scenario:
I created a BAdI. There will be a button on the UI to call its implementation(s); while if there is no implementation with specified filter value, this button needs to be hidden. Thus I need to know if the implementation exist before calling it.
Question:
In the ABAP code, how to get whether implementation with specified filter value exists for a BAdI?
If it's possible, please help provide code.
Thanks and regards,

How to put variable selection and the query result the same screen

Dear all,
how can I put the variable selection and the query result in the same screen? Please advise. Thanks.
Jin Ming

Not sure if you are saying you want the prompts on the same page as the results... however in 7.0 with BEx Analyzer, you can insert a text object from the design toolbar and assign it to the variable.... this way, lets say you run query for period 6, then the text object will display "6" on the same area where the query results are.
