Olap Query Results Pattern

Hi
I have a cube with measure Sales and one of the dimensions is product which has got a hierarchy
So when I query the cube like
select sales, dim_product
from sales_cube
where dim_time= '2008'When I get the results it looks like
product1_parent 10000
product1_child1    2500
product1_child2    7500
product2_child1    4500
product2_child1    4500
product2_child2    2500
product2_parent    2500so my question here is is there any pattern in which the olap returns this query. does the result depend on the hierarchy order in the dimension table ?
How can I ask the cube to return the results like
product1_parent
product1_child1
product1_child2
product2_parent
product2_child1
product2_child2

The 'hierarchy view' contains a HIER_ORDER column, so you can join this to the fact and order accordingly. For example
select sales, dim_product
from sales_cube s, product_hier_view p
where p.dim_key = s.dim_product
and dim_time= '2008'
order by p.hier_orderObviously you will need to replace 'product_hier_view' with the appropriate view in your schema.

Query results after BI 7 upgrade

Hi Gurus,
Our BW system recently got upgraded from 3.5 to BI 7. After the upgrade, some of the queries are showing different results.Can anyone help me out in identifying the problem?

Hello, did you run any loads (also masterdata) after the upgrade ?
This of course affects query results. I've only seen<u> very slight</u> differences in rounding
of decimals due to reprogrammed OLAP logic.
I have done several 7.0 upgrades and never seen data differences before/after on a static dataset (no loads, datachanges done).
Also bear in mind authorisations (maybe some organisational data is not displayed anymore ?

XMII OLAP Query Template SAP Variables Count Limit

While working with the MII OLAP Query template and connecting to a a BW Adhoc query with many input variables. I have noticed the SAP Variables list available in the MII OLAP Query template seems to be limited. Is this really true, can it be configured to display more variables, is there something else that would cause variales not to be displayed in the query template list?
I have tried to type in SAP variables not displayed in the list but actually in the BW Query but this just resulted in an error.
Any insight would be really helpful. Thanks

Gary,
One again drawing some analogies here , this time with the JCO. Suppose you are interfacing to a ZBAPI and at some point you make some changes to the Z function in R/3. These changes are not automatically reflected in MII unless you refresh/clear the JCO Proxy. Could a similar scenario be attributing to your issue?
What I would suggest is to disable / save / enable / save your OLAP data server and see if that makes any differnce.
I may be totally off track here but just a thought.
Goodluck

Udayan

BW Query Results as RSS

I am wondering if anyone has or knows how to get BW query results in an RSS feed.
I have a pet project to see if I can populate an RSS feed with my P&L out of my CO-PA fed BW. If the results of a query are sitting on the WAS there should be a way to grab them for RSS.....
Anyone....anyone....?
Thanks,
Brian

this is not a OLAP bapi but a custom function which returns the query results in a xml format, may be this could be useful for you.

Getting query results from a PL/SQL procedure

Hi! So, I’m a little stumped and I can’t seem to find the answer to what I believe is probably a simple question…
So, here goes… I have a big ol’ union query that I use to create a report on a page, it’s about 25k – not over the 32k limit, but fails to be able to compile every time (I always get a 400 – Bad Request error). I’m not sure why this is happening, but I can remove a union statement and it compiles just fine – so it has something to do with the size of the query. ANYWAY – I’ve resolved that I should put this bad boy into the database as a stored procedure and just call it from Apex, my problem is I can’t figure out quite how to do this with variables, etc.…
Instead of giving you my whole big query, I’ll use the emp table as the concept is the same:
Say we have a query that creates a report on a page:
select empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno
from emp
where job = :P_JOB
and hiredate >= :P_HIREDATE;
How would I take this query, create it as a stored procedure on the db, pass the variables from Apex and return the query result set from the stored proc as a report?
I really appreciate any help on this!
Best,
Gilcrest

Hi Gilcrest,
You should create the query as a View and use the view name and the WHERE clause in the report's sql source.

Sending email using PL/SQL based on a query result

Hello all,
I want to create a procedure using PL/SQL, based on a query result.Here is the scenario:
I have multiple tables in Target and Source databases that I want to compare(not the whole table but queries on these tables) and if they differ, I want to shoot an email. I have some ideas how to implement this but not sure whether it is the best approach.
select Acct_id, total from SourceTableA
minus
select Acct_id, total from TargetTableA
select Acct_id, sum from SourceTableB
minus
select Acct_id, sum from TargetTableB
If the result of any of above queries > 0 then I want to shoot an email and want to repeat this procedure in the morning every day.
I know how to implement send_mail procedure using UTL_SMTP package and how to schedule tha job by dbms_job package. But I am not sure how to implement the result of minus query. In case if minus > 0 then I also want to send the name of tables in the email message where source and target tables are not same. Should i use cursor, variable or insert the result in a new table? any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Khan

Actually these queries are the part of our daily testing that we run everyday manually(after the scheduled ETL load) to see if there are any discrepencies between our datawarehouse tables and source tables. So instead of running these queries manually everyday we want to schedula a procedure that will shoot an email in case of any discrepency and indicate which tables have problems.

How can I get Numbers to return the first row in a group of VLOOKUP query results instead of last one?

I'm trying to query from one table (call it Table1) a batch of rows in another table (Table2) using VLOOKUP on a date specified in the first table (Table1). My problem is it's returning the last incident in Table2 of the requested date instead of the first incident. This really breaks the OFFSET scheme I'd like to use to collect the rest of the items for that date. Is there some way to compel VLOOKUP to return the first row of query results, not the last?
NOTE: I see I've asked this before, but forgot to go back and look at responses given. It's been a while and I've limped along until now with the way things were. I'm actually trying to delete this questions, so if you see it, ignore it. I suppose if someone can tell me real quick how to delete a stupid question, that might be helpful.

Warning Message in query result as 'Notification Number DBMAN 345'

Hi ,
I have a warning message while executing the query
'Diagnosis
Currently, it cannot be guaranteed that SIDs and master data exists for all characteristic attributes for the DataStore object to be read.

can we creat custom FM ?? will it be called if we write code to supress warning message??
Please let me know how to use BADI'S in order to supress the error message that appearing in query result?
Thanks All.

Hi,
The warning is raised due to the following reasons:
- you have a selection in the filter of a navigation attribute
- in your DSO you do not use the option "SIDs Generation upon Activation"
If the option "SIDs Generation upon Activation" is not flagged,
you may get char.values for an Infoobject in the system not
having any SIDs. As a result you may see in the report less data as
expected.
For example we have Infoobject A with its Nav.attribute B
Infoobject A   Nav.attribute B
12             13   ->> has a SID in the X-table
11             10
9              13   ->> has no SID in the X-table
If you define a selection on B =13 in the query, you only get infoobject
A with key 12 displayed in the result, since only B =13 has a SID
in the relevant X-table.
The warning refers to this behaviour and cannot be avoided unless you:
   - flag the option in the ODS-settings
   - or remove the filter defined on 0MATERIAL__xxxx
Thanks,
Venkat

Saving query results to a flat file

Hello Experts!
We have a very specific issue on our current project and I would like to know if any of you have ever done something similar. We are taking query results from BW (after complex calculations, some based on SY-DATE) and saving them to flat files to transfer to a SQL database structure on the Enterprise Portal. From here, the portal team renders the information into more "static" dashboards that include mouse over features and even limited drilldown (i.e. no matter where a user clicks the report always drills down on profit center)
There are many reasons why the model is set up as such (mostly training of executive level end users), and even though it doesn't mesh with the idea that BW could do this work on its own, we have to work with what we have.
We have come up with 3 possible ways to save this data to flat files and hopefully someone can tell us which might be the most effective.
1.) Information Broadcasting. If we broadcast XML files to the portal, will the portals team be able to read that data into a SQL database? Is there another way to use broadcasting to create and send a flat file to specific location?
2.) RSCRM_BAPI. This transaction seems to not support texts.
3.) Open Hub. In order to get the open hub to work, we first have to save all of our query results to direct write data store objects using APD. (calculations based on current date, for example, would require daily full loads to the underlying data providers otherwise.)
What is the best way to accomplish this? Is information broadcasting capable of doing this?
Thanks!

Hi Adam,
Do you have to use flat files to load the information to a SQL database? (if so maybe someone else has a suggestion on which way would be the best).
I try to stay away from flat file uploads as there is a lot of manual work involved. May I suggest setting up a connection to your SQL table in the DBCON table and then writing a small abap program to push data into the SQL database (which you can automate).
1) Use APD to push data into a table within BW.
2) Go to transaction SM30 > table DBCON and setup a new entry specifying the conncection parameters to your SQL database.
3) In SE38 Write an ABAP program along the folloing lines (assuming the connection you set in DBCON is named conn1:
data: con_name like dbcon-con_name
con_name = 'conn1'.
exec sql.
set connection :con_name
endexec.
****have a select statement which reads data from your table which the data is saved from the APD into an internal table**********
****loop on the internal table and have a SQL insert statement to insert the records into the SQL table as below******
exec sql.
insert into <SQL TABLE> (column names seperated by ,)
values (column names of the internal table seperated by ,) if the internal table is named itab the columns have to be specified as :itab-column1
If you decide to take this approach you may find more info on DBCON and the process in sdn. Good Luck!

Large query result set

Hi all,
At the moment we have some java classes (not ejb - cmp/bmp) for search in
our ejb application.
Now we have a problem i.e. records have grown too high( millions ) and
sometimes query results in retrieval of millions of records. It results in
too much memory consumtion in our ejb application. What is the best way to
address this issue.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Parvez

you can think of following options
1) paging: read only few thousands at a time and maintain a index to page
through complete dataset
2) caching!
a) you can create a serialized data file in server to cache the result set
and can use that to browse through. you may do on the fly
compression/uncompression while sending data to client.
b) applet based solution where caching could be in client side. Look in

Thanks Slava Imeshev,
We already have search criteria and a limit. When records exceeds thatlimit
then we prompt user that it may take sometime, do you want to proceed? If
he clicks yes then we retrieve those records. This results in lot ofmemory
consumtion.
I was thinking if there is some way that from database I can retrieve some
block of records at a time rather the all records of a query. I wander how
internet search sites work, where thousnds of sites/pages match criteriaand
client can move back & front on any page.

Hi chauhan,
You may want to narrow search criteria along with processing a
limited number of resulting records. I.e. if the size of the result
is bigger than a limit, you stop fetching results and notify the client
that search criteria should be narrowed.

How to get Query Results based on Analysis Authorization Ranges????

How to use one query results in another query

hi,
in help.sap I have founded that using variable type replacement path I can use one query results in another query. It is wrote there that I have to choose query name results I want to get in variable definition but I do not know where.
How I can do this?
Result I want to get is:
In one query I have material prices in another material quantities. I want to calculate inventory value (price * quantity). Moreover prices are on plant level, quantities on storage type level. Plant is atribute of storage type.
Can I do this?

Pass query result as parameter to javascript

Hello,
I'm a beginner with javascript, so (maybe) sorry for this
question.
Is it possible to use a query result as parameter in a
javascript function
for example like this?
<cfquery name="select_data">
select name from user_table
</cfquery>
<script language="javascript">
function(#select_data.name#)
</script>
Background is: I have to validate an input field with some
values which are saved in a database table.
This values can be dynamic , so I don't want to put this
values into the cfm-file.
Any ideas?
Claudia

Each column in a cf query is effectively a 1D array. You can
use the toscript function to send this array to js.

How can I architect my data layer to yield query result pages to the application as SQL Server prepares them?

I tried to make the question as explicit as possible.
Refer to Sql Server Management Studio's Results view. Depending upon the structure of the execution plan, the Results pane may begin displaying results while the query is still executing. Can someone point me in a direction for architecting a
data layer (I am tech and framework agnostic for this task. Any solution will suffice) that will begin receiving pages of the set before SQL Server has completed the entire query?
The call from the data layer to SQL Server will obviously have to be asynchronous, but is there any additional ceremony that I need to be aware of when issuing OPTION (FAST x) to the query optimizer?

Thanks for the reply. (I actually meant to put this in the SQL Data Access forum, not the T-SQL forum)
"Generally the last step is ORDER BY in a
query, so nothing can start before that executes."
I would imagine you cannot ORDER BY and yield results as they are fetched because of the execution plan that would be generated. For the purposes of this post, please assume that sorting will be done purely client side
"Can you post your query?"
For purposes of discussion, let's assume that the query is
select *
from information_schema.columns
and also assume that you have "lots" of columns to display.
This was an exploratory question to see what would be necessary to replicate the behavior of Management Studio's Query Result view in a custom application.
I would imagine that there's going to be a lot of analysis of the execution plans that get generated in order for the OPTION (FAST x) optimizer hint to do any good, but apart from general tuning concerns that would allow SQL SERVER to yield a page of data
"fast", I was wondering if there was anything else required of the calling client to force it to yield return its first page.
After thinking about this (and phrasing it the way I did in the last sentence) perhaps this is the incorrect forum for this question. I imagine that my concerns are better addressed in forums dedicated to the technology of the calling client (which
would be a .NET assembly)
Be that as it may, if there is any ceremony that SQL Server imposes on clients in order to yield return, I would expect that my question would be in the scope of SQL Server discussions (even though I intended this to be in a different SQL Server forum)
