Hi,
If you want to copy the query on same InfoProvider, you can use the 'Save As' option.
If you want to copy the query from one InfoProvider to other, you can use the transaction RSZC. But InfoProvider structure must be same before using the RSZC option.
If your InfoProvider structures are not same, then you can use a function module to copy the query.
There is one function module available to copy the queries from one target to other. We can achieve the copy even if the Source and Target InfoProviders are different.
Here are the steps..
Step 1. Bypass the standard functionality.
Use transaction SE37 and enter the function module name RSZ_I_COPY_QRY_TO_CUBE.
Set a breakpoint after the line Perform check infocube to manipulate the SAP BW original compliancy check. Search for and set the breakpoint at IF l_subrc 0 OR l_is_compliant = rs_c_false .
Step 2. At the next stop in coding, enter the InfoProvider name in the occurring dialog in your defined breakpoint. In debug mode, set the return parameter l_is_compliant to X by typing the parameter name l_is_compliant in the field name input box
Step 3. Copy the query.
The system next asks you what query to copy The system believes that the target InfoProvider is compliant, but displays the objects that could not be found and copied Step 4. Add the missing elements.
You can add the missing characteristics manually after copying the query.
