Multiple BEx queries in one report

Hi All,
I would like to know if we can use multiple BEx queries in a single report using Crystal Report 2008 / 2011?
If so, there is another requirement follwoing the above as below:
I have objects obj1,obj2,obj3 in query 1 and objects obj1, obj2, obj4 in query 2. I have prompts based on obj1 from query1 and prompt on obj4 from query2.
So, when I enter a value in prompt1 for obj3, i need to have query1 executed and display the data and data should not be displayed from query2. Similarly, if I enter value for prompt2 of query2, only query2 data to be displayed.
Pls suggest if this can be achieved and how?
Thanks,
Naresh

How do i access multiple bex queries in one crystal reports??

Hello Experts,
I have 10 cubes and 30 bex queries on it and i need to create 3 final crystal reports on these 30 queries.
I am on BI 4.0 & CR 2011. but my client is not on correct SAP patch ie., he is on 15+ but he must be on 23+ to access multiple bex queries on CR 2011 Database expert. (I am unable to see bex queries in Database expert to link couple of bex queries)
And my client env doesnt have SAP EP for SAP BW Netweaver Connection to create a connection to access cubes or queries in IDT.
Do my client env need EP? so that SAP BICS Connection will work in IDT?
How do i approach to achive this...
Thank you...

Hi,
have you checked the option "allow external access" in your query? SAP Toolbar will find all queries but the database export needs this flag to be set.
Using multiple queries within one crystal report is using the "multi database join feature" of crystal reports. You can link your queries by key fields and crystal will join them in memory. So when there are many queries or many datarows this can be a huge performance killer.
Actuallly one of our customers is running a report which has more than 20 BEx queries linked together. It runs just fine.
Please be sure to set your joins correctly. E.g. crystal will try to make a join on the "key figures" sturcture if you let it create a suggestion or it will try to link on all fields of an infoobject. This will bring MDX errors.
So you should be setting your joins correctly - the [infoobject]-[20infoobject] fields are fine for that.
I hope you can use some of my words.

Thorsten

Crystal Report with multiple BEX queries

I have a Crystal Report that uses 6 different BEX queries. The report needs to display the results from each query, there is no need to join these queries. The Crystal Report is using subreports and displaying the data one BEX query after another.
The issue I have is that these BEX queries all have the same mandatory variable. This is causing Crystal to prompt the user to enter the same variable filter once per BEX query.
If we change the BEX queries so only the first BEX query has a variable and use Crystal to filter the other 5, the performance is unacceptable. My guess is the other 5 queries are experiencing client side filtering instead of the filter being passed down to BW.
Is there a way to have multiple BW queries with the same variable and have Crystal only prompt the user to enter input one time?
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
My understanding of the issue is :
--You have 6 Bex queries and are displying on after the other becaused you have inserted all these queries as sub report.
--All your Bex queries are having same parameter / prompt / variable which will take user input and filter the data.
--Now the report is prompting the user to enter prompt / variable 6 times. You are looking for an option to proimpt only ones insted of 6 tiems.
If I understood correctly follow the method to link sub reports to grab the parameter value form main report parameter :
Right click on sub report go in Change Subreport Links, select main reort prompt / varieable and then select sub report prompt / parameter / variable.
Do the same for all your sub reports. This will eliminate asking / prompting the same parameter value several times.
Thanks,
Sastry

Multiple Queries in one Report

What is the best way to show the data of 2 queries in one report?

Hi Frank,
It purely depends on the reporting needs I would say. You could simply add the two queries, create joins in Crystal Reports and drag the required fields in the details section.
The joins in this case, however, would be executed by Crystal Reports, unlike when the report is created off a Relational database.

Chart from data with two bex queries in crystal reports 4.0 for enterprise

Hi,
I'm fairly new to crystal reports and I have a requirement to show the data from 2 bex queries in one single cross table. is it possible ?
after getting it i should be able to create chart with that data
Eg: my table would be something like below :
               calendar day
Input     : 12      34     50     60
Output : 09     23     19     57
Input Data will be coming from one bex query
Out put data comes from another bex query
is it possible to merge the dimensions and then work on ????
any help is much appreciated

Hi Tanveer,
The only way you can add two BEx queries in a report is using a Subreport. The First BEx query goes in the Main Report and the second one goes in the Subreport.
You'll not be able to add the dimensions and measures from these two BEx queries in a Crosstab anyway. Perhaps, you could create a mock crosstab and send values (all rows) from the Main Report to the Subreport as a string however, I can see that it's going to get complex.

Exporting to multiple PDF's from one report

I have a requirement to create multiple PDF's from one report.
My thought is that I can I can create a foreach loop that cycles through one of my groups. I would then like to have each file have the name of that group.
If anyone could help me on how to code this in C# that would be great. I need to know where I should be putting this code (program.cs or crystalreport.cs) and how I run it. I am assuming I don't need the viewer for this function, since this is all on my end and no users need to have access to it.
My other requirement is to have each of these reports be put into their own folders at C:\. Thanks for the help in advance!

OK. Yup, you should be able to do this. When I was reading the initial post it looked like you might have ben wanting to export only a certain section of a report (which is a no go).
Anyhow, first thing you want to do is apply Service pack 3:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
Next, you want to look at a few sample apps and go over some docs. What you want to achieve can be done by using parameters or selection formulas.
A good coding resources is the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthroughs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2081b4d9-6864-2b10-f49d-918baefc7a23]. Don't worry about the title, it will apply to CR 2008 also.
Next, sample apps can be downloaded from here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
[CR 2008 developer library|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_dg_12_en.chm]
[API reference|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_apiRef_12_en.chm]
Not sure if you are thinking of this being a web app, but here are some resources for that:
[Interactivity and Reports in Web Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/208edbbf-671e-2b10-d7b5-9b57a832e427&overridelayout=true]

Software_table
sw_id, software, version, serial_no, sw_type, d_id(foreign_key)
hardware_table
hw_id, hardware, specification, d_id(foriegn_key)
now in reports i want to attach both hardware and software, I have made two quires like
SELECT d.d_name, sw.software, sw.version, sw.sw_type from
device_table d, software_table sw
where d.d_id = sw.d_id
and second query is
SELECT d.d_name, hw.hardware, hw.specification
from device_table d, hardware_table hw
where d.d_id = hw.d_id
Now my problem is that how can I add both queries in one report so that i can get a list of software and hardware attached to one device.
Regards
Maz

I want to see the report as follow.
d_name: CPU-1
date: -----------
Software installed:
sw_id, software, version, serial_no, sw_type
(list of softwares attached, can be more then one)
Hardware attached:
hw_id, hardware, specification (same like software list, it will contain hardware list attached to specific device),
Please if you can help me that how will i make a query for this.
Thanks and Regards

Two Bex Queries in one web template - drill-down should affect both queries

Hi,
I would like to have two Bex Queries in one web template with the same selection screen and free characteristics. When drilling-down on characteristics I want both queries to break down the figures. I cannot get the last part to work. We are using version 7.0.
Any ideas how to make this work?

Results of multiple queries in one report

Hi
I would like to create one report with multiple rows and each row should display result of a different query.
I guess I can use multiple report on one region or multiple regions in one place.
(1)However is there a more elegant way of creating a single report look and feel...eg like it would happen in excel.
(2)Is it better to have one page with multiple regions or multiple reports in one region.
Thanks
Faizi

I'm not sure if it suite your needs,
but maybe you can use UNION in your queries to get them together in one report ??
Second option:
Denes did great work and he created some how-to about putting mulitple reports in one region:

Hope this helps.

Multiple ALV Objects in one Report

I have multiple ALV ojbects in one ABAP report (one a grid, and one a tree). When selecting the choose display layout for either object - it returns the layouts for BOTH objects. Is there any way of limiting this to only return the layouts for the appropriate object?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Heather,
in methode set_table_for_first_display you can use the parameter is_variant of type DISVARIANT. Use the field HANDLE in this structure to distinguish the two ALV Objects. Fill also field REPORT of the same structure with sy-repid.

Combined request is like, within a report you can create multiple requests. You can either use it in case of combining different subject area or within the same subject area and in same report when different filters apply.
For example
Fire Marine Motor
State No. Amt. No. Amt. No. Amt.
Andra Pradesh 10 |20000 11 |100000 20 |200000
TamilNadu 11 |40000 10 |120000 20 |200000
The first request is for Andra, so we will apply the filter as 'state is equal to in 'andra pradesh''. We specify filter(No using Product_code in 'Fire') in the column formula. Then there is an option as 'combine' by which u create another request and now the filter is 'state is equal to in 'Tamil Nadu''. So when you execute the report, it will generate you two different queries.

Multiple db connections for one report

Hi all,
I am using Oracle Reports 10g R2. Could someone tell me if Oracle Reports supports multiple database connections for one rdf file, like this (using servlet)
http://your_web_server:port_num/reports/rwservlet?server=server_name&report=myreport.rdf& userid1=username/password@my_db1&userid2=username/password@my_db2 &desformat=pdf&destype=cache
I am asking this question because my report needs data from two separate Oracle databases.
Edited by: user12239004 on Apr 27, 2010 2:14 AM

No, you can only have one login.
However, this is simple to resolve by creating a database link in one database to the other database.

Multiple Data Columns in one report column

How do I list multiple columns returned from a select vertically within one report column. For instance, I have three statuses for a project that I want to list, I'd like to list the three statuses within one status column. I remember seeing this somewhere but cannot find it now. Example:
Status Column
Budget: Green
Schedule: Red
Issues: Yellow

additionally you could use HTML expressions. When editing your report, click on the column you want to use for displaying multiple data columns. This will take you to the report columns attributes page, there you can type in something like the following into the HTML expression field, referencing other report columns using #COLUMN_NAME# substitutions:
#BUDGET#
#SCHEDULE#
#ISSUES#
this is assuming your column aliases are named BUDGET, SCHEDULE and ISSUES. You can then just hide the columns that you don't want to see because the data is already shown using the HTML expression.

Marc

Universe from multiple BEx queries

I have recently heard that more than one BEx query can be used to create universe.
Is it true? So far I have created universe with only one query. Currently we are planning for one universe per BEx query and thought of reducing the universe count.Someone please advice if its possible.

Hi,
there is no need to have the relationship of one query / Universe for one report in general.
Right now the only option to have BW sources linked together into a single Universe is the option to use Data Federator. Keep in mind that Data Federator is not using the BW query layer and instead it exposes a SQL view.

How to add a filter in multiple BEx queries at once

Hello everybody,
my requirement is to add a generic filter (characteristic restriction) in more than 30 BEx queries. Instead of adding the filter in each query one by one with query designer, I was wondering if there is a tool (eg. a transaction or a query designer function) that can add this filter to all desired queries at once.
Does anybody know if such tool exists??
Thanks very much,
Andrea

Hi,
I think it is not possible. if your all query on one info provider, then you can make filter reusable for info provider and use it when you are creating query again on that info provider.
First, Restrict characteristics in filter as per your requirement and then right click on it and click on save as - give description and technical name. then save it. now filter is reusable
