'New Structure' in the Query Designer

Hi,
I know these questions might be very silly but i want to get the best picture about reporting in BW. Is there a restriction that we could create only 2 new structures in both rows and colums or isn't there any rule.Any kind of explanation would be of great help.
Thanks,
Anjali.

Hi Anjali,
I am not sure if I undertand, what you are looking for.. you can (in 3.0B) only create one structure per row or column. However you can create 2 types of structure elements. "New Selection" and "New formula". Is that what you are reffering to?
If yes, one is a selection that can consist of key figures and characteristics.
The other is a calulation based on available structure elements or formula variables.
Both enable you to create complex "drilldowns"

Michael

How can i reuse a structure in the query designer in 3.5

Hi all,
we are using the version BW 3.5, now how can i reuse a structure made int he query designer, because i need it in another query, i did the structure and put it a technical name and save, help guys

HI Richard,
Create a Structure in Rows/columns and save As it, then in the left Panel of the Query Designer you can see three Folders
1) Structures
2) Keyfigures
3) Dimensions
then Expand the structures Folder, there you can find your saved structure, Structures are 2 types
1) With Key figures
2) Without Key Figures
If you have the key figures in your saved structure, then you can find it in the subfolder of with Keyfigures, else in the other folder.
Now you can use this structure by draging in all the queries which are on the same InfoProvider (CUbe. MultiProvider)

BW 7.0 - display of the global structures in the query designer

Hi colleagues,
When I open the gobal structures of an infoprovider in the query designer, the system shows me all levels of the structures; that is not clearly arranged.
It would be better, the system would show allways only the next level.
Is there any idea ?

Hi,
I can think of three possibilities for a solution.
1. Store the name of the required table in a config table and select at runtime
2. use an 'IF' or 'CASE' statement to deterimine which system you are currently in and then place the required varible within this statement.
3. Preferred solution: use a Field Symbol to assign the table at run-time, this way no errors will occur and your program will compile.
There are many examples of FIELD SYMBOLS on SDN and even the F1 help in SAP.

'Display as hierarchy' in the Query Designer

Hi,
Can anyone highlight some points or importance of 'display as hierarchy' in either rows or columns in the query designer. Also could someone put some thoughts on the 'new structure' in the query designer, is it just that we can create some new selection and new formula from the structure or is there any other explanation for its existence. Any kind of explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali.

Hi Anjali,
display as Hierarchies:
simply enables you to select and use hierarchies for that InfoObject if available.
Structures:
you can create structures with or without keyfigures. Structures give you a great deal of flexibility and consistancy in your reports. Eg. you can create a structure that gives you a drilldown on char selections that are different for each line or column. We use that to "simulate" divisions in a drilldown that we don't have backed up by masterdata.
Also structures enable you to keep reports consistant by using the same global structure eg. for all Contribution margin reports
Hope that helped,
regards,
michael

The structure in the query

HI,BW experts, I have a question about the structure of the query :is there only one key figure in the query?in my query ,i have a key figure structure already, could I create another key figure structure,and how to ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Cindy
If your query already has a structure then why you want to create a new one? add new key figures to the exisiting structure.
If you have to create new structure for key figures then
GO to Query change in Query designer & in Columns section do right mouse click and select structure. This will add new structure and then you can add new key figures to that if you need.
Hope this helps

Creating customer formula to be used in the Query Designer

How can i code a specific formula to be used in the query designer. As an example, i need to calculate dynamically working days between two dates.
i tried to find the corresponding BAdl interface with no success..
Do you have any suggestion ?

Hi..
I have a scenario ... it may help..
The group HR administrator wants a detailed line item report that lists all employee absences in a given period. The report is to show the employee number, the absence start date, together with the end date of the absence and show the number of calendar days the employee was absent.
The good thing about using this technique is that no redesign work is needed from your technical BW team, no ABAP is involved and best of all, it quick and easy.
Solution:
For this example I created an ODS object called Absence that holds basic employee information along with individual absence record data.
Follow the steps below:
     Open the BEx Query Designer and create a new report on your chosen InfoProvider.
              Drag the Employee, Valid from and Valid to characteristics into the Rows section of the screen.
If needed, apply data selection restrictions to the characteristics as pop up
     Right click on the Key Figures structure and select New Formula
     In the new formula window right click on Formula Variable and choose New Variable
     The Variables Wizard will launch and will require you to specify the variable details.
( Click the NEXT button if the Introduction screen appears )
     Enter the variable details on the General Information as shown in pop up
Enter the Variable Name , Description and select Replacement Path in the Processing by field.
Click the Next Button.
     In the Characteristic screen (pop up) select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date).
Click the Next Button.
     The Save Variable screen (pop up) displays a summary of the new variable.
Click on the Finish button to save the variable.
     Repeat steps first four for to create a second variable for the second date to be used in the calculation.
In the example shown, the characteristic 0DATETO is used to create the variable ABSEND (Absence End Date)
Define the Calculation............
            The new calculated key figure will now show in the columns section of the BEx query designer
excute...

How to hide a single value node hierarchy in the query designer

Hi,
I would like to perform a calculation in the infocube. It concern a count "Nb of different customers" with the following hierarchy : Country / region / City.
This KF would be read at the same time by city, region and country, and certain customers exist in 2 different region, and I have to count them only once by country.
To do this, I added a new record (at the country level when loading infocube) to deduct a number of customers in doubloons.
This line added contain only a country code and the number of cutomers in doubloons (- 23 when I have 23 cutomers in doublons) with revrese sign.
Now, I would like to use this value (-23) to have a right Nb of different customers by country, without showing the not assigned line in the report hierarchy.
How can I hide, in the query designer or the WAD, a single value node from hierarchy (NOT assigned) but take in account the value (-23) at the country level ?
Is there another solution (more simple) to perform this in the infocube ?
For information,
1) The infocube is loaded once per month, and the KF (Nb of different customers" is also performed by month.
2) I can't perform this in the report (performance problem with calculated KF).
thx.

Hi,
the short answer is "you can't", the longer is: The ADF Faces tree component is stamped for better performance. This stamping means that nodes are not rendered as JSF objects but copies of an existing component (just with a changed value). For this reason the nodes don't issue their own query for data and thus cannot be refreshed individually

Yes, the problem is with the extractor
It is not been enhanced because i am working on SAP BW 3.1C and its been implemented in 2004 and since then it is not been used properly.
The Datasource is 0EC_PCA_3 (Enterprice Controlling line items).
Yes i maximized to 1000 records per call and searched for the G/L Account E16411 which i cannot find in the cube.
When i checked the results with R/3 i found the totals are doubled and when divided the Key figure Net of Credit and Debit by 2 i got the some results correctly(Sales Revenue, Sales Revenue of Exports and Sales Revenue of Domestic)
I Checked the Service Marketplace and found the note which should be implemented to rectify the error of duplicating the records,
Can you please help me to update the G/L Accounts in the datasource.
My Development System contains more then 2000 G/L accounts in the cube (query designer).
Thanking you,

Currency conversion in the query designer level

Hi
Iam calculating the 'Financial Loss' in the Formula in the query designer.And it comes in SAR(Saudi Riyals).
But i want the 'Financial Loss' in USD in the Query Designer. Because i want the USD Financial Loss to be use in some other calculation.
Please let me know how can we do this one in the query designer. I really appreciate for it .
Regards
Kumar

Dear Ravi,
Basically there are 2 ways to do it: routine & query level.
If query level, you need to maintain it first using tcode RRC1, then you use it in your KF in your query. .
Routine level,
You can create new KF in info-provider, then in the update rules routine, you can use this function to convert the currency :
CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY
Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Niel
thanks for any points you choose to assign.

Some question about the query designer

hello, dear all,
I am a new comer of here, and I am intersting in BI, but I have no basic knowledge about it.
so I just want someone could give me some advice about it.
our boss need I do the developer about the query designer, I just have searched in this forum. but nothing founded for I am a new comer here,
I heard there are some training document of the query designer, could someone give me the URL, thanks.

Hi,
Query desinger is used to develop a Query, Query can be created on following data targets
-Info Cube
-DSO
Virtual data target
-MultiCube
-Infoset
-Multiprovider
We have 5 section in query designer
- Infoprovider : where we select the data target , on which report to be created
-Filter : to restrict value at infoprovider level ( if you want data for year 2008, for example)
-Free Characterstic : this allow you to drill down
-Columns : char/keyfigs to be display in columns can be added here
Row: key/char to be display in Rows can be added here
gv me ur mailid i will let u have Bex manual,
I would suggest , if you have any IDES ( training ) system , where you can log in and then go to RRMX,
and try to create new query and add any data target ( which is already created ) and then drag and drop the char/key fig to the required section ,
save it and execute it .....
if you play arround and see the output , that would help u to understand how to work with query designer.
Hope this helps

Master data is not getting displayed in the Query Designer

Hi,
I have a DSO in which I have an InfoObject called Emp No. in the Data Field.
The Emp.No is being maintained as master with (Emp Name, Address, Telephone No, DOB) as attributes.
I have loaded the data in the Emp. No. master. Then tried loading the transaction data in DSO.
The Emp.No is there in the DSO active data, but in the query designer its not getting displayed.
Hope its clear.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
I have brought the Emp. No. in the Key Field and also have activate the master data again.
Yet my Query Designer doesn't have the Emp. No.
I have done a full load for both Master and Transaction.
Please advice me what the other alternative.
Thanks
