Local Changes to a Query in a Workbook

Hi guys.....
In 7.0... Theres a way to change locally a query assigned to a workbook?
Like in version 3.5 wher you can change locally the query definition......
I need to know if its possible or we need to create another query...??
Regards

Hi Oscar,
Did you wanted to reassign a different query to the same workbook ?
Try :
BI 7.0
Run the workbook
Switch on Design Mode ( Letter A )
RClick on table - Properties
Click on Pencil Icon
Assign Query - Select the new one

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

Change of query already in workbook

Hi,
I have created a workbook for a query and moved to QA. Now the user wants some modifications and I had to change the query. Then I recreated the workbook and saved in the same name. And moved to QA. But the changes that I made to the workbook do not reflect in QA. The workbook reflects the old format only.
Did any of you face the same problem? How do I rectify this?
I look forward to your suggestions.
Thanks
Kumar

Hello Kumar,
The name that u have given for your new workbook is the description; that may be the same for the old and new workbook; but, the technical name is different for both. So, it is obvious that the new workbook can not overwrite the old workbook.
So, may be u can delete the old workbook and advise user to use the new workbook - which is with same description.

Problem Refreshing Query Definition on Workbook

Hi guys ....i have a very strange case.....in 3.5 users can execute workbooks without problems and also can change global and local definition of the query on formulas and keyfigures....but the column header texts are not updated in workbook....i have a description for columns and rows on workbook and another description on definiton of query....i checked the "goto query defintion on refresh" on properties and nothing happens...headers are not refreshed.....
I hope somebody could help me
Regards

Hi,
Is there any macro written which may be overwriting the column header.
If this is not the case then you must have saved workbook when it was last edited by editing the column headers. You can change in workbook the heqader column and then see whether the column header is taken from query definition or what you have saved in workbook.

Creation of local field in ABAP Query

Hi
Please let me know how to create a local field in ABAP query. I am finding the option inactive in SQ01.

Priyadarshini

hi priya,
     *__Adding u201CLocal Fieldu201D (user defined field) in SAP Query_ :
There is also facility to add the user defined fields in SAP query output. Also we can provide calculation formula for calculating values for this user defined field.
Calculation formula consists of standard fields from standard SAP tables. So the values fetched for particular standard SAP fields from standard SAP tables get calculated as per the calculation formula defined for the user defined field and displays the value accordingly.
To do this first go to change mode for Query which automatically takes you to screen shown below and click on icon   , as below :
Then further screen will appears. So select the Field group and again click on the same icon button   .
Then switch on the Short names for the fields and give the short names to fields which we need to use in Calculation formula.
Give the short names and then created u201CLocal Fieldu201D, as shown in below screen shot. Also Short names are given to fields, which can be used further for calculation.
Defining Local Field u201CREM_QTYu201D along with its field type and Calculation formula.
In this case we have
defined field type for new
field as similar to
ORD_QTY and
Calculation formula is
defined.
Also its possible to have Conditional logic for Local field by putting Condition in u201CConditionu201D line.
Now activate this newly added Local field for coming it in output screen. To do the same again go to u201CBasic Listu201D and activate the Local Field as shown below :
i think this will help u

Not able to replace new query in old workbook

Hi All,
I am having a workbook on a query which was developed long back,due to few changes i created new query and now i want to replace that query in old workbook which it is not allowing also tried to create new workbook with new query but when i run workbook it shows no applicable data found ,when i run query the data is coming.
I need all your suggestion on this
Regards
Deva

Hi Dev,
Open your Workbook and Go to the Sheet in which the desired query (to be removed) is embedded.
In the "BEx Toolbar" 3rd Last Icon if you place cursor on it it will say "Tools" > Click on Tools and you will see an Option "Remove Query" or if you want to remove All queries from Work book there is another option Tools> All Queries in Workbook --> Detach.
This will remove the Query from Workbook.
Then in same Tools--> you can see Insert Query click on it and point (select) your new Query.
This will insert the new query in Workbook.
Save the Workbook.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Do post back if you face any probs.
Thanks

Insertin a query in a workbook

We are on the new version and I don't see the option under the tools to add a query to a workbook. Has this featured been removed?
thanks

Nikki,
It is up to you where you insert the said items but you might like to consider the following:
- When you insert the query (analysis grid) it has a tab page where you can define whether the results set should be 'clipped' or added with a scroll bar. This will enable you to insert items around the analysis grid and you can then be sure they will not be overwritten because the results will be 'contained'. The standard setting is 'full size', in which case, anaything underneath / to the right will be overwritten if the query expands so you need to change it.
- If you want to have persistent changes to the query format then you can do this by changing the excel styles for the relevant query parts and then using the 'Themes' within the 'Workbook Settings' to save and apply them
- There is no way to enter the variable screen into the worksheet as such. The concept now is that the users enter their variable values and then use the navigation pane to filter the results set - which is not that different from 3.5. So therefore you put the navigation pane / filters etc. in the wrokbook. If you want the user to access the variables then they have to select the button on the 'Analysis' toolbar, or you can create a button that calls the variable screen up using the button wizard (CMD>SHOW_VARIABLE_SCREEN).
Hope this helps,
Rgds, Keith

How to display/create Local field in SAP query

HI All,
I'm new to abap query. I have to include a local field in the existing query. I know through SQ01->Edit->Local field we can display the Local fields, but the options under Local Fields menu option are disable even in change mode of Query.
So, later through SDN found that, I have to Switch On the short names menu option. Even the sub-options in Short Names are disabled.
Can any body please let me know how can we display the local fields to the change the formula and how can we create the new local fields in the existing qeury.
Hope I'm able to explain my issue clearly.
Thanks in advance.

You can create the local fields in the "Select Field" screen. (Third screen after "Title, Format" and "Select Field Group") This option is disabled on the other screens.

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.

Is there any change log for query change in BIW?

Hi Buddies,
Could you please tell me if there is a change log in BIW to record all changes made to query and workbook? Since yesterday, I found a very important query had been deleted from our BI system, but I did not who had done this.
Thanks in advanced.
best regards
Patrick

Unfortunately there isn't. Check if you have the query in another system (test, development) and transport it again. You could also check if there is still an entry in RSRREPDIR but I don't think so.
Best regards

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

Message was edited by: Ravi Sekhar

Hi,
First is good to know which are the differences between query and workbook :
In a Workbook:
-You can have severals querys.
-You can format the report, change the font, colors,etc.
-You can write some Visual Code.
In order to transform a query into a Workbook :
-Open your Query
-After that, click on the save button and select "Save as new workbook" (you can save it into a role)
-After this, you can change the font, color (to do this, click in the Format Icon).
Asigns points if useful please.

We have requirement for retrofitting the changes done in one Server to other, in the process the Changes in New server should not be overwritten.Currently for Adhoc queries - we're downloading from one server- loading to the New server.
Is there any way to track the changes in Adhoc query to avoid overwriting the changes.
Thanks in advance.
Harika.

You can download the Employee wise Bank Details of IT0009 or using Adhoc query
You have employee wise WT reporter

Infotype 0120 - changes in adhoc query program

Hi All,
I have to make some code changes for the std infotype 0102 - Grievances NA in the adhoc query. My requirement is :-
1) A range from 000-999 should be available for each Employee for the Grievance Number field. P0102-GRNUM.
2) If a record already exists for the employee for a particular Grievance Number -GRNUM(e.g - 467) and Stage- GRSTG(e.g.- Stage1), the system should not allow to enter another record with the same Grievance Number and Stage for the same employee.i.e. No duplication should be allowed. i.e only 3 records for 1 Grievance Number as there are only 3 stages.
Please advice me how to proceed for the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Preeti

hi
Its not getting clear that u want the changes for ADhoc query or in pa30.
if u want validations in adhoc query as u have mentioned in the question
u need not to go to a user exit.
In adoc query itself u can incorporate these changes
u can go to infoset of this query and write a abap code which checks the Infotype 102 for the grievance no.
If u want the validation on while creating the record then u have to use user exit ZXPAUD01 or can use BADI's also .

How do I change the underlying query for the task board (and backlog board) on TFS Preview

All,
We work with multi-area projects, each area representing a significant component within the project with its own release/iteration cycle. i.e. Several areas may be active at once, each with different iterations.
When we look at the task board these take no account of the area being worked on. What I need to do is to be able to change the query behind these boards to point to a particular release/iteration for a particular area.
Unfortunately there is no drop down selection on these pages to see this automatically so I need to be able to change the underlying query that populates these boards to get the the area and release/iteration that I need.... but I can't find where these
are.
Using multiple areas is actually highly frustrating with TFS Preview as it doesn't seem geared up at all to make it easy to switch between them... are we doing something wrong?
I think I can do this by changing the current iteration - but I can't work out how to do this either once an iteration for a particular area has started.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

It is not possible to modify the query behind the task board. If I understand you correctly, you would like to filter the task board by area path.
In TFS 2012 we have repurposed the area path field to be the field that determines the team you are working on. We are continuously improving our product and being able to filter your task is one of the improvements that we are thinking of.
Sorry I can't help you better than this for the moment.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help.
Hi Ewald,
We have a similar problem, see the thread "Best approach for multi-team/multi-projects." on this forum. I'm hopping you can help, since so far the different answers doesn't help.
