Multiple passes (groups) on same query data

I need to run a report which has two sets of results, one for the current month, one for year to date. This would be easy with subreports, but unfortunately it's a very complex report which has a number of subreports already. I'm using CR10 and SQL Server.
In both cases the main report's query is the same (most of the work's done in the subreports).
I've done this before using Paradox tables, by adding an extra table with two records (Seq = 1 and 2) which is unconnected to the other tables (ignoring the warning). This results in the query data being repeated for each value in the Seq table. I group on Seq and I have what I want - two groups with the same data.
This doesn't appear to work with a SQL Server DB though. Any ideas?

If your report is based on an SQL Command data source, you could always run the query (or stored procedure) into a temp table (say, #temp), then end the SQL Command with
select 1 as seq, * from #temp
Union All
select 2 as seq, * from #temp
I thought of this but unfortunately I have no control over the report launching, so a temp table's not an option. I tried this with one of the tables involved but it then seems to run incredibly slowly, presumably because Crystal's obliged to do the joins rather than the server.
It does work quite well when I put all the joins in the Command, which is a pain though, particularly for maintenance.
So thanks for encouraging me to look further.

Question about creating multiple output files from same query

I have a query like this:
select * from emp;
ename empno deptno
Scott 10001 10
Tiger 10002 10
Hanson 10003 20
Jason 10004 30
I need to create multiple output files in xml format for each dept
example:
emp_dept_10.xml
emp_dept_20.xml
emp_dept_30.xml
each file will have the information for employees in different departmemts.
The reason I need to do this is to avoid executing the same query 200 times for generating the same output for different departments. Please let me know if it is practically possible to do this.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!!

You can write a shell script to generate the multiple spools files for the same output. Below script may helps you.
#====================
#!/bin/bash
n=0
while [ $n -le 20 ]
do
n=`expr $n + 1`
sqlplus -s system/manager <<EOF
spool emp_dept_$n.xml
select count(1) from tab;
spool off
EOF
done

We are using DBMS_XMLGEN package to generate XML.
The reason I need to do this is to avoid executing the same query 200 times for generating the same output for different departments. Please let me know if it is practically possible to do this.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!!

one solution i can think of is to use SQLX operator instead of dbms_xmlgen.
here is a sample example.
declare
l_xmltype xmltype;
l_deptno emp.deptno%type;
begin
for i in (select * from emp order by deptno)
loop
    select xmlconcat(
                xmlelement("ename", i.ename)
               ,xmlelement("sal", i.sal)
               ,xmlelement("detpno", i.deptno))
      into l_xmltype from dual;
    dbms_output.put_line(l_xmltype.GetClobVal());
end loop;
end;
/Now here you can open the query once, keep writing to the file till the deptno
is same, when the deptno changes, close the file and open a new file with new
deptno and start writing.
Note : in this way you will have to add the xmlprolog manually to each of the file which should not be an issue. after opening the file add the prolog string manually.
Hope this helps.

Multiple sheets with the same query automaticly

Hi gurus,
I want to create a workbook with one query and one input variable.
The input variable is the 0PLANT. And I want to execute the same query so many times as 0PLANPLANTs has the 0PLANT and each 0PLANPLANT appear in different sheets.
There are different 0PLANTs with 4,5,6,... 0PLANPLANTs and the workbook has to be valid to all 0PLANT and automaticly generate 4,5,6,... sheets depending of the number of 0PLANPLANTs has the 0PLANT.
Any idea?
Best regards

But, what macros? I don´t have idea over macros excel´s.
Thanks for your answer.

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.

Klaus

Multiple resultsets from the same query?

Hi all,
Can I define a query that will show more than one resultset (of similar structure), based on the different values of a particular characteristic?
Say, characteristic C1 has 3 different values x1, x2 and x3. Is it possible to output 3 different resulsets based on x1, x2 and x3?
Thanks,
Satyajit.

Hi Satyajit,
I hope i am getting your problem right.
By saying "3 different resulsets based on x1, x2 and x3"
did u mean to say that the list of key figures u have specified in your columns portion of your query should be displayed 3 times,First with x1, then with x2 and then x3.?
If thats the case what u can do is drag the characteristic C1 into the columns section of your query designer and keep it in top , followed by the key figures.
Then you can achieve the desired result..
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Parth.

How can i select some row from multiple row in the same group of data

I want to select some row from multiple row in the same group of data.
ColumnA
Column B
1 OK
1 NG
2 NG
2 NG
3 OK
3 OK
I want the row of group of
ColumnA if ColumnB contain even 'NG'
row , select only one row which Column B = 'NG'
the result i want =
ColumnA Column B
1 NG
2 NG
3 OK
Thank you

That's some awful explanation, but I think this is what you were driving at:
DECLARE @forumTable TABLE (a INT, b CHAR(2))
INSERT INTO @forumTable (a, b)
VALUES
(1, 'OK'),(1, 'NG'),
(2, 'NG'),(2, 'NG'),
(3, 'OK'),(3, 'OK')
SELECT f.a, MIN(COALESCE(f2.b,f.b)) AS b
FROM @forumTable f
LEFT OUTER JOIN @forumTable f2
ON f.a = f2.a
AND f.b <> f2.b
GROUP BY f.a

Best practice for multiple instances of the same BEX query

Hi there,
I'm wondering what's the best way to use multiple instances of the same BEX query. Let me explain what I mean:
I have a dashboard with different queries feeding different period of time such as: week to date, month to date and so on. One query for each since it is based on a user exit.
For each query I want to show different data in different sections of my dashboard. Per example: sales per directors or sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week and the like.I tried to connect a simple bar chart via a direct connection but with no success due to the multiple lines generated by the addition of the sales director, customer group, week number and so on.
My question is about the way to connect the different queries efficiently in order to show the different data while avoiding multiple useless lines.
The image above shows the query browser where, per example, for a Month to date query there will be mutiple line for each week as well as one line for each director. If, for two different components, I want to show data per week and data per director or other representation what is the best practice:
Add another instance of the same query and only put the week information and another one will only the director info?
Should I bind those to the excel file and use formulas to make final calculations?
Will there be a performance issues for adding different instances of the same query
I have 6 different queries (read 6 user exit that filters time via user exit).
Depending on the best practices there might be 4 instances for each for a total of 24 instances in the query browser.
I hope my question is clear enough, if not please do not hesitate I'll clarify as much as possible.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
Hope this Helps!!!
Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

Passing Multiple Single Values from Sender Query to Receiver Query in RRI

Dear All.
We have 2 - Bex Reports ZBEX_1 & ZBEX_2
1. In ZBEX_1 having the fileds data like the below.
Account Doc. Number - Clearing Document --- Amount
12345                  - 65432                --- 100
12346                  - 54321               --- 50
2. In ZBEX_2 having the following data.
Account Doc.Number -- Amount
45342                     - 10
66666                        - 100
65432                       -   10
54321                      - 5
3. I am Traying to create RRI Between ZBEX_1 & ZBEX_2 , with Sender query as ZBEX_1 and Receiver query as ZBEX_2
If I drilldown from ZBEX_1 need to show the following output in the ZBEX_2
Account Doc. Number - Amount
65432                       -     10
54321                      -     5
i.e If Clearing Documnet in the ZBEX_1 is same as Account Doc. Number in ZBEX_2 those Account Doc. Numbers I have to show in the output of ZBEX_2 RRI Report.
Both the records I have to show at a time.
So please suggest me
1. How to pass Multiple Single Values to Next Query using RRI
2. How to Map Clearing Document to Account Doc. Number in RRI.
NOTE: Account Doc. Num length is same as Clearing Document
Please suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran Manyam

Your scenario of passing values from multiple records in Source does not suit well for RRI Jumps.
In ZBEX_2 query, create a Replacement path variable on Clearing Document. In that Replacement path variable, use the Replacement with query option and choose the ZBEX_1 as the underlying query source.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/bd/589b3c494d8e15e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
When you execute ZBEX_2, what ever clearing document values that ZBEX_1 has will be passed through the replacement path variable as a filter to the ZBEX_2
Hope it helps!

Passing multiple values to a BI query

Hi experts,
This question has probably been asked a few times, but I have an issue with passing multiple values to a BI query. Here's the scenario....
1) I have created a BI query. When I test the query in VC I can enter values 1000:1100 in the Infoobject Business Area and I see that the values are passed through OK
2) Then I created a form where Business Area is an Input Field
3) I linked the form to the BI query and assigned value @Business_area
3) A table is linked to the BI query to view my result ( I have set a distinct before my table to view the data by fiscal year period)
4) When running the VC model, the table show values for 1000 and 1100, but when I enter 1000:1100 and Submit it does not show both the business areas
There must be something I am missing and I thought it was that in my submit string (between the input form and the BI query) that I should fill in some values (instad of @Business_area). I tried to fill in 1000:1100, but then I get an error saying Invalid time 1000:1100.
I would really appreciate any help on this issue :-).
Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I wish to enter default values for dates onto the VC form. Ie I have a VC report to display a customer's shipped data. Ship date is a selection field/ input field on the form for the report/ output table.
At present if a user clicks submit they get all their shipped records from the beginning of time till today. How can I restrict the dates at VC level to past 3months? So if the users don't specify a ship date, they get the past 3 months data, and afterwards they can change it an retrieve all the data or past 2 years as they wish.
Thanks,

Prevent multiple users from updating coherence cache data at the same time

Hi,
I have a web application which have a huge amount of data instead of storing the data in Http Session are storing it in coherence. Now multiple groups of users can use or update the same data in coherence. There are 100's of groups with several thousand users in each group. How do I prevent multiple users from updating the cache data. Here is the scenario. User logs-in checks in coherence if the data there and gets it from coherence and displays it on the ui if not get it from backend i.e. mainframe systems and store it in coherence before displaying it on the screen. Now some other user at the same time can also perform the same function and if don't find the data in coherence can get it from backend and start saving it in coherence while the other user is also in the process of saving or updating. How do I prevent this in coherence. As have to use the same key when storing in coherence because the same data is shared across users and don't want to keep multiple copies of the same data. Is there something coherence provides out-of-the-box or what is best approach to handle this scenario.
Thanks

Hi,
actually I believe, that if we are speaking about multiple users each with its own HttpSession, in case of two users accessing the same session attribute in their own session, the actually used cache keys will not be the same.
On the other hand, this is probably not what you would really like, you would possibly like to share that data among sessions.
You should probably consider using either read-through caching with the CacheLoader implementor doing the expensive data retrieval (if the data to be cached can be obtained outside of an HTTP container), or side caching with using Coherence locks or entry-processors for concurrency control on the data retrieval operations for the same key (take care of retries in this case).
Best regards,
Robert

Where i have a List of dsRequest and RequestParams, where i can send any number of requests for Insert,Update. I have two a XML element defined in RequestParams "RowsEffected","error" where the result will be caputred and is updated
to the response XML.
I have 6 defined in RequestParams
EMP_SALARY(int),ACC_NO(int),EMP_CITY(string),EMP_NAME(string),EMP_CONTACT(string),EMP_JOM(string)
My Question is:
When i am trying to build response XML with the following code, the parameters which are not given in the Request XML are also appearing in the Response.
                ResponseParams.Add(
newdsResponse()

Appreciate ur help..Thanks
Cronsey.

Hi Kristin,
My project is, User will be giving the parameters in the excel, and using VBA, the values are captured and an XML is created in the above mentioned format and is send to web service for the Insert/Update.
I created a webservice which reads the values from <datacontract> and it consist of list of <dsRequests> where any number of Insert/Upate commands can be executed, with in which it contains a list of <RequestParams> for multiple insertion/Updation.
//function call
OriginalParams = generator.Function(query, OriginalParams);
where OriginalParams is List<dsRequest>
//inside function
command.Parameters.Add()// parameters adding
int
val = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
after the execution,an XML element is added for the response part.and it is looped for all the RequestParams.
OriginalParams[i].Result.Add(
newResult()
{ ERROR = "No Error",
ROWS_EFFECTEFD = 1 });
//once all the execution is done the response building part
for(inta
= 0; a < OriginalParams.Count; a++)
                ResponseParams.Add(
newdsResponse()
                  Result = OriginalParams[a].Result

Multiple PS Query Data Sources in RTF Template

Is it possible to use two PS Queries as Data Sources on an RTF template in XML Publisher?
There is a field in the main Data Source (PS Query) that needs to join to some other tables. This slows down the query considerably even after tweaking the join and tuning, etc. Instead of doing the join in the main PS Query Data Source, can we do any of these?
1. Do a select statement inside an RTF template Form Field?
2. Use two PS Queries on the same RTF template?
3. Import a sub template that uses its own PS Query Data Source for the field?
Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

You can have multiple data models and then use the 'concatenated SQL data source' to generate a single xml file that includes data based on both queries. You can not do a select statement inside a RTF template.
Within the RTF template you can write logic to join the two data sets... see this blog post:http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/formatting_concatenated_dataso

Different results for the same query and same data ! (oracle 9i)

Hi,
This is a mystery for me. I've got on my database exactly the same data that my customer (exported schema). We both launch the same query (generated by the software that we sold him). This query has a criteria IN (SELECT MAX()...) to get only data from the last year.
The query gives 477 rows on my computer (correct answer), but no row on his! We have the same data! The only difference is the Oracle release : 9.2.0.6.0 for him, 9.2.0.1.0 for me.
If he executes the subquery alone, it gives the expected result.
If he replaces the MAX() in the subquery by the returned value (year 2016), he gets his 477 rows.
I've rewritten the query with a NOT EXISTS, and now all is fine. (Less efficient but it works).
I have no rational explication. Did I miss something ?
Thanks for any answer.
This is the query:
SELECT ...
FROM
CRA, GRA, ...
WHERE
/* subselect */
(CRA.COLLCOD, CRA.CRANEXE, CRA.CRANCODBUD, CRA.GRANNUM, CRA.CRANCOD1, CRA.CRANCOD2, CRA.CRANCOD3, CRA.CRANCOD4)
IN (
SELECT b.COLLCOD, MAX(cranexe), b.CRANCODBUD, b.GRANNUM, b.CRANCOD1, b.CRANCOD2, b.CRANCOD3, b.CRANCOD4
FROM CRA b
GROUP BY b.COLLCOD, b.CRANCODBUD, b.GRANNUM, b.CRANCOD1, b.CRANCOD2, b.CRANCOD3, b.CRANCOD4
AND... /* other filters and joins */

v9.2.0.1 was full of bugs. a lot of these bugs had to do with "incorrect results", typically associated with old stats or complex queries (certain types of subqueries were very likely to give wrong resutls, due to the way they were rewritten by the optimizer).
apply the 9.2.0.6 patch set
