Migration of queries and work books to BI7

Hi,
I would like to Migrate all the existing 3.X queries and work books to BI7.0 in Development box.
Is it possible to capture these changes into a transport request, if possible how do I capture.
Please guide.
Regards,
Sharma. IVN

Sharma,
Its better to collect all queries of a Infoprovider in a single request as u can avoid locking of dependent objects in different requests..Migrating workbooks would be tricky if u have any macros.Have a look at below links on migrating front-end objects

2. Selected Queried and work books --- Grouping --- Only necessary objects -- Collection mode -- automatic...(Default all queries and workbooks selected as check box)
3. Click Transport truck (Which is beside of Grouping Option)..
4. Created one request and then released... But not imported into BW Production..
5. Now I have modified all the queried (Change text)
6. RSA1 -- Transport connection -- Selected modified queried...
7. Grouping only necessary objects and collected mode --automatic...
8. Selected modified queries and dragged into right side...
My question here is they are not checked check box under transport?...shall i check it?
Shall i release Old BEx Request? and then before transporting these new modified queries Create another BEx Request?
or else..
Create new request for modified Queries? and then transport?
Now the situation is i have already created transport request for modified queries..What to do? shall i release them also?...

Business Areas, Folders and Work Books

Hi,
We have approximately 20 business areas and around 200 workbooks. We are trying to reduce business areas. We are creating 4 new business areas ,under which I want to import all 20 business areas into 4 new business areas. So I am coying all folders under 20 business areas into 4 new business areas.
I am unable to do the same with workbooks. Now ,when we are trying to open the workbooks, we are having issue in opeing the workbook as workbooks are referring old business area folders. I want to opne the work books refering folders with in the new busiess areas.
Is there any way to do this other than creating workbook again?
Thanks.

Hi,
D4O do not uses any business are as it is used for OLAP reporting. You cannot have an option/prompt to user to select a particular analytic workspace.
If you grant access on AW$<AW Name> object to the user then the user can see everything inside that workspace. If you want the user to see both the workspace then you should grant the select privilege to both AWs.
Suppose the two workspaces are in two diferent schemas i.e. schema1 and schema2 having AW1 and AW2 as the workspace respectively. If you want to grant access to both the above workspaces to user say user1, then you should grant privilege like this
grant select on schema1.aw$AW1 to user1;
grant select on schema2.aw$AW2 to user1;
The above grants ensure that the user1 can see all the cubes in both the workspace. Ensure that the user1 should have D4OPUB and OLAP_USER role granted.

WAD and work book

Hi
exports
pls explain defference between Web Application Designer (WAD) and workbooks
Thanks in advance

WAD
Web Application Design: BEx Web Application Designer
Use
Web application design allows you to use generic OLAP navigation for your BW data in Web applications as well as in business intelligence cockpits for simple or highly individual scenarios. Web application design comprises a broad spectrum of Web-based business intelligence scenarios, which you can adjust to meet your individual needs using standard Web technologies.
Features
The following graphic illustrates the basic concept of Web Application Design with the Web Application Designer as the central tool:
You can use this BEx Web Application Designer, the desktop application used to create Web applications, to generate HTML pages that contain BW-specific contents such as tables, charts or maps. These objects, which retrieve BW data from a data provider and place it in a Web application as HTML, are known as Web items. For more information on the Web items available, see Web Items.
You can save the Web applications as a URL and access them from an intranet or on mobile devices. In addition, you can save Web applications as iViews and integrate them into an Enterprise Portal.
The Web Application Wizard is an assistant that is integrated into the Web Application Designer. You can use this to help you create Web applications using a step-by-step procedure and to simplify design activities. The Web application wizard helps you to work with Web application design confidently and create your first Web applications.
Business Explorer Web application design also allows you to create highly individual scenarios with user-defined interface elements by using standard markup languages and Web design APIs. You can individually adjust and enhance Web Templates, the HTML pages that determine the structure of Web applications. For further information, see:
Object Tags
Command URLs
Use of Forms
Data Provider
Query View
Use of JavaScript-Functions
In addition, using a Web design application programming interface (Web design API), you can change the display of tables or navigation blocks in Web applications. See Web Design API for Tables
WorkBook
Queries in Workbooks
Use
Queries are inserted into workbooks so you can display them. When you insert a query, a link is made between the cell areas of the worksheet and the data of the InfoProvider upon which the query is based. A link therefore exists between the Business Explorer and the Business Information Warehouse Server (BW Server). This link stays in place until you interrupt it (see Settings).
When you open a query and insert it into a workbook, the query is calculated and the view (initial view) of the data established in the Query Designer is displayed.
If variables that are ready for input are used in the query, you can enter the required values for the variables or confirm the default values when you insert the query.
Workbooks into which queries are inserted are no different in appearance than other Excel workbooks. They can be saved as files, copied, sent and (using Excel functions) edited however you like and even supplemented with other data.
Features
You can choose whether you want to insert a query into a new workbook, into an existing one, or into a workbook template:
If you want to insert a query into a new workbook:
Choose the symbol for Open...from the BEx toolbar. This brings you to the screen Open SAP BEx:
Select Queries from the left column.
Select a query from all those available. The queries are arranged according to InfoProviders.
Double-click on the required query or choose OK.
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.
If you want to insert a query into a workbook template:
Create a workbook template.
Insert the query into the workbook template.
See: Creating Workbook Templates
If you use the function Based on Permanent Template (see Settings), the Business Explorer queries in all these workbooks will have the same formatting when you insert them.
hope it helps,

Migrate existing email and address book from Entourage to OSX Mail?

I have a corrupted version of Entourage and it was suggested I go to Mail. I was also told migration from Entourage was a 'snap'....where do I get detailed steps (what manual) to do this migration? I want to move existing mail, (inbox, sent mail,etc)and my address book.
If it's in fact a 'snap' maybe the instructions can be included in any repsonses I might receive...??
Thx for any help you might offer!

If your Entourage database is corrupt and not fully accessible or accessible at all by Entourage or you are unable to launch the Entourage application, this won't be a snap but the Mail application includes an import mailbox function with Entourage listed as the first email client to choose from. This process does not import Entourage account setup information, only Entourage mailboxes.
At Mail's menu bar, go to File and select Import Mailboxes.
Under "Import Data From", select Microsoft Entourage and then the Continue button.
You will see a connecting to Microsoft Entourage message while the Entourage application launches which is required as part of the import process.
A window will be provided with a list of available Entourage mailboxes to import with all available mailboxes selected by default.
Select Continue and an Import named folder will be created in the mailboxes drawer with all imported mailboxes available within.
For Entourage address book contacts you can do this a number of ways. One way - create a folder on the Desktop named Entourage Contacts or whatever you prefer.
Highlight/select all Entourage address book contacts and then click on and drag the highlighted contacts to the folder created on the Desktop. This will create a separate vCard file for each Entourage contact within this folder.
Launch Address Book and at the menu bar go to File > Import and select vCards navigating to/within the folder on the Desktop that contains the vCard files exported from the Entourage address book.

Diff Between Saved Query Views and Work Books

Hi..
Can some one explain me the diff betwen Saved Query views and Workbooks interms of their use, and operation..
thanks..
kishore

hi kishore,
We use workbooks for excel formating,like font changes, lay out changes etc...
Workbooks into which queries are inserted are no different in appearance than other Excel workbooks.
They can be saved as files, copied, sent and (using Excel functions) edited however you like and even supplemented with other data.
Views are primarily used for BW Web Reports, it is similar to the concept of workbooks is for BEx.A local view can be accessed only within a workbook in which it was saved, where as a global view can be accessed globally in the system, it is not attached to a workbook. Only Global view can be used in BW Web Templates.
u can seee the help doc for more details:

Dataprovider loose mapping to queries and infoprovider after transport

Hi Experts,
I have collected all relevant query elements and work sheets and transported them into productive BI system. When executing the work sheets in BEx Analyzer, they simply don't work due to lack of variables. When I changed to design mode, I saw that my dataproviders are not assigned to queries / cubes. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong ? Did I miss something in transport ?
Thanks !
Regards,
Max

Hi,
Are you transporting queries, work books and data providers at same time? Or data provides are already there in Prod system? If so check your transport is having correct Query elements and work books (you can check with technical names). Is the transport is successful (i.e. return code = 0)? Sometimes there may chances of all elements are not properly transported to production system.
Thanks
