Order of the Merged Prompts with Multiple Queries

Hi,
I have a WEBI XI 3.0 document that contains multiple queries.
One of the queries in the document has the following prompts in this order:
"Date:"
"Time:"
"Time zone:"
"Address:"
Another query in the document has the following prompts in this order:
"Date:"
"Time:"
"Name:"
"Address:"
If I do a Refresh All in the document, the prompts are merged and displayed in the following order:
"Date:"
"Time:"
"Time zone:"
"Address:"
"Name:"
However, I want "Address:" to be the last prompt displayed:
"Date:"
"Time:"
"Time zone:"
"Name:"
"Address:"
Is there a way to specify the order of the merged prompts?

Hi,
To define the particular order of the prompts all the prompts should be at the universe level or at the report level.
As all the prompts defined at the universe level will appear first in alphabetical order and then the report level prompts will appear also sorted alphabetically.
In your case if possible create the prompt of Address at the report level and other prompts at the universe level it will automatically appear as the last one when you refresh all the queries.
Else you can change the prompt string to define the particular order.
@Prompt('1. Enter Date'.....)
@Prompt('2. Enter Time'.....)
@Prompt('3. Enter Time Zone....)
@Prompt('4. Enter Name'....)
@prompt('5. Enter Address'...)
Note: All the above prompts should be created either at the report level or universe level.

Rohit

Bursting a report with multiple queries

Hi,
I need to set-up bursting in BIP for a report with multiple queries. The output format is pdf and delivery is through e-mail. Since the queries need to be linked, I'm trying to do this using data template. I've set-up split and burst based on a field (store_id) from the first query which is used as a bind variable in the subsequent queries. So I'd ideally want the report to be split based on store_id. The report works fine if I use a parameter for store_id and view the output by store_id. When I try to schedule the report for bursting, it generates and e-mails the reports but only the last report appears to have correct data output while the others have only the output from the first query (and all other queries appear to return nothing in the report).
Any suggestions on what could be the issue here? Thanks!
Here is the data template for the report:

Hello user6428199,
When you use ":Q1_STORE_ID" in your queries, BI Publisher looks for a report parameter named Q1_STORE_ID. Change all your report queries to get data for all the store_id's available. As you are bursting the report using the store_id as the bursting key, BI Publisher will split the report based on the stored_id and delivers content based on it. No matter how many queries you may have, BI Publisher will loop through all the store_id's available and all the queries will return data for that particular id in a report.
Thanks,
Machaan

Creating report with multiple queries in clear quest

Hi,
I am new to reports and currently working with creating reports that connect to clear quest(CQ).
I have successfully created several reports, that connect to the CQ, but they all have data from only one query.
Now I am trying to create a slightly complex report where I need to fetch data from multiple queries. All these queries use 2 parameter to filter their data. I have dynamic cascading parameters to get them. When just connecting they all work ok. I used the link tab to link them to two fields of one query, to make sure that they all filter to fields from same query.
The problem is when I drop the fields from the various queries on the form, the data is fetched multiple times.
I also played with links to make them outer links but in that case I get error and unable to run the report completely.
Any ideas on how to work with multiple queries and provide same parameters to all of the queries?
Thanks in advance.
-PAP

- How do I make sure that the relationship is not one to many?
You don't. That's the nature of the data. For example a single person can order multiple items. A simple one to many relationship.
- In the link tab, I can only point to queries, is there a way I can point the fields to report params?
You should be seeing tables... I think you're having a tough time with the basic terminology.
- How does these Enforce Joins (4 options) work.
There is rarely if ever any reason to switch from the default "not enforced". Leave it alone. The only one you'll touch 90% of the time is the Join Type.
PAP,
Based on the questions you're asking, it sounds like you are missing some major database fundamentals. My suggestion would be to step away from CR for the time being and read a little bit about relational databases (what makes them relational) and database normalization. This will also give you an idea about the various join types and when to use one over the other.
You can know every feature and function in CR, but until you have at least a basic knowledge of how data relates, you'll never pull in the data you need.

Report with Multiple queries too slow in BI Publisher 11g

Hi, I have a report in 11g where i need to create multiple queries to show them in report. I tried to combine everything in one query, but i found that the query is too huge and hard to understand and maintain. I created 3 data sets and linked them together. In SQL dev, the main query is returning about 315 records and first detail query returns less than 100 records and second detail query is returning one record which is BLOB. Each query returns data within a couple of seconds from SQL Developer. The entire report from BI Publisher should be just 21 page PDF output. Did anyone face performance issues while running reports with multiple queries in 11g? I ran reports that have single query which returned 10K pages PDF and never had an issue while everthing is in one query. This is the first time Iam attempting to create multiple queries. Can someone help me understand what i might be doing wrong or missing here. Thank you.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.

Poor Performance 7.0 Workbook with multiple queries

Hi all,
I've got the following issue. Our users have workbooks which contain serveral queries on different sheets. (One on each workbook sheet)
When a workbook contains 5 or more queries, the overall workbook performance will decrease drastically. Workbook with 8 or more queries result in time-outs and messages like unsufficient shared memory.
Does anyone have the same kind of problems with multiple queries in a Bex 7.0 workbook? Do any one have a solution?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Ron

Bill,
Tried to make a workbook according to your advise. It certainly makes a difference in workbook size. The new workbook is 50% smaller than the older version based on the standard SAP template.
However, my workbook contains 17 queries, and after 5 minutes it breaks the BW connection. So basic conclusion is that BW 7.0 workbook can't work with a large number of dataproviders/ queries. This did work in BEx BW 3.x.
If any one has any other suggestion, more than welcome.
Cheers,
Ron

Workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs

Scenario: There is a workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs.
In 3.x, it was possible to refresh only a select query within the WB but I'm not finding this to be the case in the NW04s BEx Analyzer. It seems that it will always refresh all queries on all tabs.
Do any of you know a way around this?

Hi Bigtoja (and others).
This is not possible in BI/2004s.
Please refer to https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004483762006E page 23. It seems that it will be implemented in a stack sometime in 2008.

How can I convert string to the record store with multiple records in it?

Hi Everyone,
How can I convert the string to the record store, with multiple records? I mean I have a string like as below:
"SecA: [Y,Y,Y,N][good,good,bad,bad] SecB: [Y,Y,N][good,good,cant say] SecC: [Y,N][true,false]"
now I want to create a record store with three records in it for each i.e. SecA, SecB, SecC. So that I can retrieve them easily using enumerateRecord.
Please guide me and give me some links or suggestions to achieve the above thing.
Best Regards

Hi,
I'd not use multiple records for this case. Managing more records needs more and redundant effort.
Just use single record. Create ByteArrayOutputStream->DataOutputStream and put multiple strings via writeUTF() (plus any other data like number of records at the beginning...), then save the byte array to the record...
It's easier, it's faster (runtime), it's better manageable...

Report result with multiple queries

Hi,
I need to achieve a report result by using two different webi queries which are based on same universe.
I can't merge the "City" information because they're detail objects. (Attribute of a nav. attr. in BEx).
In the scenario below, if I remove City (Query1), KPI-2 can be displayed. However, I need to use both "City" detail from both queries.
Any suggestions for this?
City (Query1) | City (Query2) | KPI-1 (Query1) | KPI-2 (Query2)
A A 10 20
Thank you!

Hi,
try to merge the common dimension object for both city1 and city2 dimension.then drag the merge dimension objects in the report with city1 and city2.and see data is coming or not.
if data is coming then you can hide the common dimension object in the report.
Thanks,
Amit

Matrix report with Multiple queries

I have created one cross product group containing 4 subgroups under a single query. Now I have another one query seperately to be joined with the matrix query. Also I have one formula column and summary column with this the cross product group. The logic is if formula condition is true the it should take the 2nd query value in the place holder column otherwise it should take the first query value. is it possible?
If any one knows about this update me ASAP to [email protected]

Single report with multiple queries OR multiple reports with single query

Hello Experts,
I have a confusion regarding Live Office connection for many days. I asked many people but did not get a concrete answer. I am re-posting this question here and expecting an answer this time.
The product versions that I am using are as follows:
FrontEnd:
BOE XI 3.1 SP4 FP 4.1
Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP4
Backend:
SAP BW 7.0 EHP1
I have created a dashboard which is getting data from a webi report using LO connections.
The webi report has five report parts which are populated by five different queries.
Now my question is, when the five LO connections are refreshed, is the webi report refreshed five times or just once?
If the report is refreshed five times, then I guess it is better to have five different webi reports containing single report part, because in that way we can prevent same query being executed multiple times.
SO what is the best practice- to have a single report having multiple queries - OR - to create multiple webi reports with single query?
Thanks and Regards,
PASG

HI
I think Best Practice is Multiple reports with single query
Any way If LO connections refresh 5 time the query will refresh 5 timesRegards

BEx Broadcaster - Using a Workbook with multiple queries on different tabs

Hi,
I was wondering if any has used Bex Broadcaster to broadcast a workbook that contains multiple queries on different tabs in the workbook. I believe someone has mentioned that this was an issue in the past and I was wondering if this now a possibility with Bex Broadcaster
If you were able to do this successfully, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello
Of course it is possible.
But, if you want to broadcast a workbook, you have to use a Precalculation Server.
Without precalculation server, workbooks cannot be precalculated and broadcasted.
More details, please check the note below:

How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
If you need anymore information please ask!

Hello roaminggnome
Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

Issue with Safari and using the back arrow with multiple tabs open

I open multiple tabs in Safari but when I'm in a tab browsing and I hit the back arrow, in the new version of Safari, it doesn't just go back to the previous page in the tab, it completely backs out of all the tabs. What am I doing wrong?
I have a PC running Win 7 and the lastest version of Safari. I launch Safari which opens to my home page (CNN). I then go the News on my menu bar and select Open in Tabs - then tabs for 6 news sites open up. However if I go to one of the tabs and start navigating around the sight and I want to back up a page I click the back arrow like I have always done in previous versions of Safari but instead of backing up 1 page in the tab I'm in, it collapses all the tabs and I'm back with only the CNN tab still open. Its frustrating not being able to backup on page and I can figure out what's going on. I've use Safari for sometime now but only this version is giving me this problem. I tried resetting and reinstalling Safari but still get the same problem. Any ideas? Its like I'm backing out of tabs instead of pages.

Thanks for your quick response.
1) I have the Block Pop UP windows option turned off
2) I switched Safari to 32 -bit mode and rebooted my iMac but I still can't get the CBS videos to run
The exact message I get in the Hulu or CBS box is:
The video you have requested is either unavailable or is being blocked by an ad blocker installed in your browser.
I have the same problem with the Safari, Firefox and Opera (all are the latest versions.

Using the same library with multiple computers over a network Use Aperture

Hi Everyone. I am researching some cataloguing/editing programs to recommend one to my boss, and I was wondering if it was possible to use the same library between multiple computers on a network. Does anyone know if this is possible? This may be what makes or breaks the decision on whether or not to go with Aperture as we need a program that can access a large database of photos on multiple computers.
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
You can do it, but...
It's not supported by Apple.
Performance won't be great unless you're running a really fast network.
If more than one person tries to access the Library at one time you're likely to end up with a corrupted database, and there's no code in Aperture to limit access to one person at a time.
The Library must be stored on an HFS+ volume - don't even try putting it on a FAT32-formatted drive.
If you want 'proper' multi-concurrent-user network-enabled cataloguing software you're looking into a whole different level of investment than the low price of Aperture - think more in terms of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
