Thx in advanc for help
Bamba

Thanks for this way RRI!
Iu2019ve inputted via the transaction u201CRSBBS - Maintain Sender-Receiver Assignmentu201D the Query Sender and the Query Receiver. In the icon u201CAssignment Detailsu201D I specified the column which I want to use it as Data entries in my query receiver (Type: infoOject; Selection option; required entry: switched on). Is it correct?
When I run the Query Sender and do a right click u201CGo tou201D in the column I want, the Query Receiver is running but not only with the values result of the Query Sender. I get more values entries. What is wrong in my approach?

How to embed multiple queries in single workbook

Hi,
I am working in BI 7.0 environment. My requirement is
1) I have 6 different SD queries.
2) I need to create workbook out of each query.
3) I need to embed workbook created from each query into a single work book (each worksheet in workbook should have workbook created from 1single query).
This way the final workbook will have six work sheets with six different queries (all saved as workbooks).
Can anyone please give me an idea to create the workbook.
We are latest version of Excel.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Padma,
You can embed multiple queries in a workbook.Please follow below steps.
1. Open the query in a Bex analyzer (first query)
2. Go to second tab and select a cell and insert anlaysis item (second icon on the Bex Toolbar)
3. Right click and assign query to the data provider.
4. Goto next tab and insert analysis item for third query . Similarly you can insert many queries but embedding multiple queries will degrade performace.
5. Goto workbook settings (last icon in Bex tool bar) for workbook properties like refresh workbook on open. pop up variable screen on refresh etc.
Also please go thru below links .

Parallel Refresh queries in a workbook with BI7.0

Hi Experts,
could somone tell me if is it possible to refresh IN PARALLEL all the queries in a workbook with 7.0 version? are there any differences from 3.5 Bex version from this point of view?
This kind of option would be very usefull for long run queries and/or big ammount of queries collected in a workbook.
I would be really grateful if you can give me link to documentation on this point.
Thanks very much
Best Regards
Filippo Corvi

Hi
You are correct, if we put the big queries in a workbook it would be a performance issue.
I have to check the option of refreshing the queries parallely.
But you can try one option, the workbooks are also refreshed in Precalculation Server. If you can schedule that then the users would not have a problem. May be I am wrong in this option. But it would be like refreshing the statistics before using them.
If you can tryout, this is the help
Note 936112 - Precalculation server help for troubleshooting
Also this is one more option, but I had not tried out

Mutliple queries on single workbook?

Hi,
Is it possible to have number of queries on single workbook, meaning each query on a different sheet.
How can this be achieved.
Would it require embedded workbook.
How would it be refreshed, i have heard some people had problems with similar scenario
How are variables handled, assuming some queries are prompted for variables.
Thanks

Hi Ashouja,
It is possible to have multiple queries on different sheets in one workbook. You can accomplish this through using the Bex Toolbar button Tools > Insert Query on the different worksheets. When you will refresh the workbook, all those queries are still "attached" will be refreshed.
About the variables...it depends on the query properties set in the workbooks. eg if you choose Refresh all queries when opening workbook, then as soon as you open the workbook, all the queries will be automatically refreshed. In this case you will get the variable screen starting with that of the first query. If there are any variables that are common between the queries (Same technical name) then those variables will only appear once and if you enter a value, they will not appear again. The second query will be run with the same value in this case.
Look at these links for more info:

Inserting Multiple queries into a workbook

Hi Friends,
I have to insert multiple queries into a workbook and each query should be in a different worksheet of the work book.
I have gone thru some of the SAP documentation, for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/89883989676778e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
In above link under the fatures section it says
If you want to insert a query into the active workbook:
Open a workbook and, from the BEx toolbar, choose Tools ® Insert Query.... The query is then inserted into the current worksheet starting at the active cell
But when i chech in the tools under desig tools, i have lot of options like insert grid,insert checbox, radio button extc, but i dont have "Insert query".
I am using BI7 Bex analyazer, The Only way i am able to insert a new query into a work sheet using BI7 is that first i have to design the work sheet but including design elemenst in my case i am using Grid. But this is not giving the correct display.
Did anyone insert multiple queries in the same workbook? if you can you please let me know how did u acheive this?.
Thanks in adv.
Regards
BN

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for your response, but in BI7 Bex analyser you dont have the option of insert query from tools.
Rather what i did is (maynot be the correct way), i have executed the query and saved it as work book and in the tools there is an option "copy Sheet". If you select this the same layout is copied to the 2nd sheet, there just change the assignment of design items to a new Dataprovider. Attach the new query to the new Dataprovider.
It works for me, as of now
But i have questions regarding selection screen.
1. In this work book i am embbeding 6 queries and each query individually has variables. When i execute the workbook i get the selection screen, in the selection screen all the common variables are shown in one grouping and other in a different grouping. Is this correct way of selection screen display?.
2. I want to see the variable screen every time i open the work book, how can i acheive this?.
Regards
BN

Insert multiple queries using either WORKBOOK, WAD or Report Designer

Hello Guys
I have a task where I have to insert multiple queries into one single page/sheet & print it out later. For this I can use any one of the tools available: Workbook, WAD or Report Designer.
1. Workbook - Here I have read that we can use a call back MACRO and some other features.
2. WAD - Here I have read that we can use: 1. Multiple data providers (one for each query) & 2. Multiple web analysis items linking to each individual data provider.
3. Report Designer - Since this is the actual 'formatting' tool provided by SAP, I am assuming that this is the right environment to achieve my task.
My question: Which one out of the above 3 tools is actually feasible? Can someone explain me in detail about how to go about this task. Any 'How to..' docs from SAP would also be most helpful.
Regards.

Hi Kashyap,
I have done similar requirement in Workbook,it has better features and more user friendly than others......it depends on the individual...but U cna meet your requirement thru Workbooks...
If the Req are complicated then we go for MAcros ,where in we can satify the critical req,say some sort of Dynamic reqs.
There are lot of threads on Multiple queries in one Workbook....Just search in SDN and u will get lot of Threads on this topic.
Come bak if u have any other doubts.

Link Pivot tables between workbooks

I have two BEx workbooks A and B. Workbook A has the query data, pivot table and a pivot chart. I need to create a new Workbook B and link only the pivot table from Workbook A to the Workbook B.
Can we link a pivot table between two workbooks?
Raadooo

Thanks a lot, Chivukula !!!
This is what I got. I have 5 huge separate queries saved as workbooks. Each of these workbook has the query data. I created pivot table from this data and generated charts in the workbook for each of the seperate queries.
But now, I need to join or link only the charts into one workbook, to display a dashboard view. This dashboard view should have all the charts.
Since I would like to get the charts as a dynamic pivot charts, I want to link the pivot table from the exisiting workbook to the new workbook.
Can this be acheived? If not what is the other possible solution?
Thanks a lot for your help again!!!!

Need Different Selection screen for different Queries in a Workbook

Hi,
I have created a workbook with Multiple tabs in BI 7.0. Each Tab has different Queries and each query has different Selection screens (Variable Selections).
When i open the workbook and refresh it, the selection screen is appearing only for one query. All the queries are refreshed by this single selection screen, though each query has different Variable selections. What i need is a seperate selection screen i.e seperate Variable selection appearing for each queries, when i refresh each one of them.
Is it possible to do this? If anybody has tried this, help me in solving this issue. Thanks for ur time.
Regards,
Murali

Murali,
If you un-check the 'Display Duplicate Variables Only Once' this WILL solve your problem.
When you Refresh, you should be presented with a single variable selection dialog box, but it should contain an area for each Query (DataProvider) that is embedded in the Workbook.
This is the case if the queries are all on the same tab, or on different tabs.
However, if you have multiple tabs each with a query on it, each query must have it's own DataProvider. If all queries are based on the same DataProvider, it will not work as the Workbook only 'sees' one Query for which it needs variable input.
If you REALLY want multiple variable selection dialog boxes, then maybe the best way to do this is to have the queries in separate Workbooks.
If you don't want the User to have to open 5 queries manually, you could use a Macro in each Workbook that runs on opening, to open the next Workbook in the sequence.
I hope this makes sense!
Regards
Steve

How to run multiple queries in a workbook

Hi,
I have 3 queries in a workbook with the same variables. How can I refresh all the 3 queries when I change the variable value. It allows me to refresh only one query at a time but I need to refresh all the 3 queries at once whenever variable value changes.
Thanks,
Kal

Prakash,
Do you have any more information on where i would find the setting to;
"Refresh individual queries within a workbook (Single DataProviderRefresh)"
is it on the
i) dataprovider setting
ii) workbook setting
iii) elsewhere?
many thanks

Queries Published to Workbook Roles

Hello Gurus,
I need some advice on this particular situation.
I currently have users in our BI systems (BI 7.0) that are assigned to roles specifically for workbooks to use with the BEX analyzer. In this case there are users who can publish queries to workbooks for anyone to use (as long as they're assigned to the workbook role).
Note: To be specific, our business users do not create queries in production, but simply create a view of an existing query and make changes based on their specific need, which then can be saved to a workbook.
In the past we had workbook roles transported (in error) to production from development, which overwritten the queries published to the workbook in production. Updates to the workbook roles were only being made in production, so when the roles came over from DEV it wiped the queries that were created by the end users. Iu2019m currently in the process on re-structuring the role authorization concept in our BI system and would like to incorporate workbook authorization to one role (role based security) instead of having multiple on-off roles for workbooks. Having one role means Iu2019ll need to work in DEV and push the changes to production, however with the workbook situation if any queries have been published to the one role it will be wiped every time a transport goes into production.
I would like to the following:
1. Is there an alternative method to running queries without utilizing workbooks?
2. What would be the best scenario or best practice when publishing queries to workbook roles?
Regards,
Wes

Wes:
User cannot see favorites of another user in BEx Analyzer.
Instead of saving a workbook to the role and risk having it overwritten the next time the role is transported, your users could save their changes as a view ('save view global' option). They will not be prompted to save as a favorite or in a role - it inherits whatever role the query is in and will not be overwritten if that role is transported.
Keep in mind that things like query properties set in the view are not retained like they are with a workbook, however. The view stores the navigation state, variable values, etc.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Kerry

2 Queries within 1 workbook in BEx BI7.0

Hi Experts,
I know that there is a new method of creating a workbooks in BI7.0 using the Design Mode.
Suppose I have put 2 queries within 1 sheet in excel (one on top of the other). I did this by inserting 2 analysis grids within the same worksheet.
When I try to drill down the query on top, the area it occupies expands and completely overwrites the query at the bottom. As such, the bottom query disappears.
Is there a setting somewhere which will make the system adjust the position of the query at the bottom in this scenario?
I remember that with 3.x, when you insert 2 queries within the same worksheet in the workbook and you try to do a drilldown, the system would ask if you want it to overwrite or adjust the affected query area.
I am trying to look for the same functionality in BI7.0 workbook creation.
Thanks for your help in advance.

How to Create a Link to a Discoverer Workbook in Apps11i?-[solved]

I tried to create a link to a disco workbook in apps 11i using metalink document 278095.1. It seems to be working ok for discoverer which is installed on the same machine as the apps11i is on(because when I clicked on the link which I have created in apps11i, I see a default disco4i welcome page which got installed out of the box with apps11i). But we are using discoverer version 10g which is on a different server. Does anyone has ideas on how to create a link for a disco workbook which is on a different server other than apps11i.
Discoverer version is 10g
Apps version is 11.5.10.2
Thanks in advance

hi Rod,
I did as you said and it seems to be connecting to the right server. But I have one more problem. In metalink document it says I have to enter the following in the Parameters text field of Function form in apps:
workbook=<(workbook identifier from step2) &PARAMETERS=param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value*param_parameter name Two~Parameter Two Value*
But I dont understand what should I have in place of param_parameter name One~Parameter One Value. Is it the name of the parameter given in discoverer, if so can you give me an example of how to write it. Because when I typed the name of the parameter like &PARAMETERS=Client Id, where client Id is the name of the parameter, it is giving me the following error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
Thanks for your help

A 3.x workbook when opened in 7.0 works fine except for some issues. Variables are shown in text element of 3.x workbook , when this workbook is opened in 7.0 the variables are also shown. By design text element does not show variables except for text variables. There are issues like flickering of workbook when opening the 3.x workbook in 7.0. Variants from 3.x are not imported in 7.0.
