*Problem in Query Designer using Infoset

Hi,
I'm having an Infoset that I'm creating a quey against.
The query works fine with a few characteristics and keyfigures.
But sometimes i got the following error messages when adding another characteristics or keyfigure:
Operand data type varchar is invalid for sum opera tor.Operand data type varchar is invalid for sum o perator.
Notification Number RSQBW 000
Error when generating the SQL statement
Notification Number RSQBW 804
DBMAN 305
BRAIN 289
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks,
Ingmarie Gärdströ

It sounds as if the Key Figure that you added to your query has been defined underlying RDBMS (e.g. Oracle) for your BW system as an alphanumeric (VARCHAR) and since the data isn't defined as being numeric, it can't sum the data. This might also be caused by an known problem the BW application and there may be an OSS Note, or more than one, that resolves this issue.

Combine two reports in query designer using key figure with sap exit

Hi experts,
i want to combine two reports in query designer using key figure with sap exit
in the report 1 key figure calculation based on the open on key date(0P_DATE_OPEN)
to calculate due and not due in two columns
in report 2 key figure calculate in the time zones using given in variable Grid Width (0DPM_BV0) like due in 1 to 30 days, 31 to 60 days...the due amount based on the open on key date(0P_DATE_OPEN)
to calculate in 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 121-150 and >150 days in 6 columns
now i have requirement like this
not due, 1-30, 31-60, >60, due,1-30, 31-60, >60 in 8 columns
or
not due, due, 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 121-150 and >150 in 8 col
thank you

Hi Dirk,
you perhaps know my requirement,
for the management to make used in one report,
we have in reporting finacials Ehp3.

Problem in Query Designer Tool Bar

Hi
In BI 7.0, Query Designer Tool Bar unable to see Table View. Is their any patch problem ?.
Thanks in advance
Mahesh.

OSS note: 1002271.
Reason and Prerequisites
After much discussion we have decided
not to include the table mode in BI 7.0.
Solution
There is (in our opinion) a better alternative to the table view:
Create a query with only one structure and use
Report Designer to design your own table view. This allows you
to arrange the columns and many other
formatting and grouping options as you wish.

How to find the query name using infoset name

Hi Experts
       Iam new to the sap queries(SQ01,SQ02), some queries already created.
      now i want to do some modification, my problem is i am not able to find the query name.
      I know the infoset name, can you tell me how to find the query name using the infoset name, is ther any table for this.
i tried in sq01 also, but its confusion, pls advice me on this.
thanks in advance.

rajaram

Hi
try like this..
SQ02 --> go to --> Query Directory..
from there you can get all the queries belong to a Infoset.

Creating RKF in Query Designer using Nav Attr of a Nav Char InfoObject

Hi
SCENARIO
I have a Char InfoObject POSTFI[POSTFI is Navigational Attr] with 3 Navigational Attributes included in the InfoCubes.
1. ZINREPIND Reporting Indicator
2. ZFITMCD01 Statement 01 Financial Item
3. ZPCNR1 Profit Center Indicator
NOTE: All the above mentioned Nav Attr are properly set as Nav Attr and Active, Check and Rechecked.
We have 2-InfoCubes Current and Historical[both have same Structure].
A MultiProvider is build using the above 2-InfoCubes and the Char InfoObject PostFi is included in the MultiProvider.
Now I am trying to Create a Report using Query Designer and in that I have to Create a RKF[GrossSales1] and
the Condition for which is KeyFigure=FINAMT, where POSTFI_ZFITMCD01 = 5010, POSTFI_ZPCNR1= Y
PROBLEM
I can see the Nav Attr ZINREPIND, ZFITMCD01, ZPCNR1 in the main Screen of the Query Designer's LeftHandSide Pane containing KeyFigures and Dimenions under Dimension Financial=> PostFi=> Nav Attr ZINREPIND, ZFITMCD01, ZPCNR1.
While creating the RKF on KeyFigure FINAMT I am just able to see the InfoObject POSTFI[in its resp Dimension] in the
Display RKF GrossSales1 Screen in the Left Hand Side Pane where we see the KeyFigures and Dimensions.
But I am NOT able to see the Nav Attr's ZINREPIND, ZFITMCD01, ZPCNR1 anywhere in the LHS Pane of the Display RKF GrossSales1 Screen.
Now I cant Create the RKF bcoz I cant see the 3NavAttr's of Char InfoObject PostFi it the LHS Pane and the 2-Nav Attr required for creating the RKF.
Can anyone PLEASE let me know How can I see/bring these Nav Attr ZINREPIND, ZFITMCD01, ZPCNR1 in the LHS Pane of the RKF Creation Screen to add them to make my RKF ?
Thanx in Advance

Hi
As per your explanation, below are the details
POSTFIPOSTFI --- This is navigational attribute which has below 3 objects as navigation attrs.
1. ZINREPIND Reporting Indicator
2. ZFITMCD01 Statement 01 Financial Item
3. ZPCNR1 Profit Center Indicator
first one, could you please confirm whether POSTFIPOSTFI is main info object or it is attribute of another info object.
If it is attribute of another info object, then the last attibutes(3) are called Transitive attribute(attributes attribute).
Reporting on Transitive attributes is only possible with the creation Info Sets.
If my guess is correct, then create Info Set based two info cube now create the query.
Hope it will work

Venkatesh.

Currency Conversion problem in query designer

Hi,
A requirement has come that infoobject which contain multiple currency type, need to convert into a single currency type in Bex reporting as user want to see only one currency value in report.
There are three keyfigures refering different calenders for conversion. For examle . GR amount is based on GR date, IR amount is based on IR date and PO amount is based on Doc date. Query is build based on a infoset.
I am doing following steps to achieve the task::
1. In TCODE - RSCUR, created three Currency Conversion Type each for GR, IR and PO and each one refering different 0calday calender
2. Defined exchange Rate Type as "M"
3. Currency Tab -> Source Currency = "Source Currency from data Record"
    Target Currency -> Fixed Target Currency = "USD"
4. Time Ref. Tab -> Fixed Time ref. = "Current Date"
    Variable time reference = "To the exact day"
    Special InfoObject = <InfoObject name>
5. In query designer, Key figure property for GR amount -> Conversion -> Conversion type = <Name of Currency Conversion Type which defined in RSCUR>
6. Repeated the same for IR Amount and PO Amount key figure
While saving, getting following error::
*Cannot apply Currency translation type <Currency type name> in Infocube <Infoset name>. *
Diagnosis
You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type <Currency type name>. The translation type <Currency type name>, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Document Date. Characteristic Document Date is also not available in InfoProvider <Infoset name> and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Document Date, or Document Date is not a base characteristic.
System Response
Procedure
Adjust the query definition or create a special currency translation type for one of the characteristics .
Please help!
Please note that there are three key figures which need conversion using different calenders.
Sanjiv

Hello,
I have done the same what you said, but same error still showing....
I also tried to change from "Special InfoObject" to Infoset level and it works with one KF. Since all three KF are under one Infoset and there is limitation that if Currency Conversion Type is defined on Infoset level then only one KF will be assigned for a Infoset where as I am using three KFs with three relevant time characteristic.
Any suggesion from others?

Problem with Query designing

Hi All,
I had created a query and started designing a crystal report.
But after designing the report, i came to know that some infoobjects are missing in the query.
So i went to query designer and added the corresponding infoobjects inorder, they could reflect while designing my crystal report.
But when i have reopened the report the field explorer is not showing the infoobjects which i have added newly.
In crystal reports what is the way to obtain those objects which are newly added to the query.
Even i have refreshed the field explorer many times but still it is not showing the updated objects.
But if i go creating a new report on the same query, there it is showing the added objects as well.
Only for the new report i could able to see the newly added objects in field explorer but not for the old report.
Please let me know the solution for this problem ASAP.
Best Regards
Jiten

Jiten,
i think if you click Database--->Verify Database and also try Set datasource location -
>Update.
this should do the trick.

Problem in query designer

hi all,
i am trying to execute the query in query designer it opening a portal screen and it asking for user id and password
after entering user id and password i can able to see the loading icon finally i getting the blank screen ..
instead of selection sceen can any one help on this...
Thanks
siva R

Siva,
This is your Portal issue then Contact Basis team for this or Try these:
1. IE security trusted site settings.
2. Have basis restart the server and login.
Strange things like this occur when the DB is full or DB log is full.
Check if your database is not full, that means you should check the LogArea and DataArea.
If any of them are full, then your jstart fails to start.
If LogArea full -- Set the Log Automatic Overwrite to ON
If DataArea full -- Add new disk volume.

How to improve query performance using infoset

I create one infoset that including 4 char.and 3 DSO which all are time-dependent.When query run, system show very poor perfomance, sometimes no data show in BEX anayzer. In this case I have to close BEX analyzer at first and then open it again, after that it show real results. It seems very strange. Does anybody has experience on infoset performance improvement. pls info, thanks!

Hi
As info set itself doesn't have any data so it improves Performance
also go through the below tips.
Find the query Run-time
where to find the query Run-time ?
557870 'FAQ BW Query Performance'
130696 - Performance trace in BW
This info may be helpful.
General tips
Using aggregates and compression.
Using less and complex cell definitions if possible.
1. Avoid using too many nav. attr
2. Avoid RKF and CKF
3. Many chars in row.
By using T-codes ST03 or ST03N
Go to transaction ST03 > switch to expert mode > from left side menu > and there in system load history and distribution for a particular day > check query execution time.
Statistical Records Part 4: How to read ST03N datasets from DB in NW2004
How to read ST03N datasets from DB
Try table rsddstats to get the statistics
Using cache memory will decrease the loading time of the report.
Run reporting agent at night and sending results to email. This will ensure use of OLAP cache. So later report execution will retrieve the result faster from the OLAP cache.
Also try
1. Use different parameters in ST03 to see the two important parameters aggregation ratio and records transferred to F/E to DB selected.
2. Use the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS (Performance of BW infocubes) to see the aggregation ratio for the cube. If the cube does not appear in the list of this report, try to run RSRV checks on the cube and aggregates.
Go to SE38 > Run the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS
It will shown dimension Vs Fact tables Size in percent.If you mean speed of queries on a cube as performance metric of cube,measure query runtime.
3. To check the performance of the aggregates,see the columns valuation and usage in aggregates.
Open the Aggregates...and observe VALUATION and USAGE columns.
"---" sign is the valuation of the aggregate. You can say -3 is the valuation of the aggregate design and usage. ++ means that its compression is good and access is also more (in effect, performance is good). If you check its compression ratio, it must be good. -- means the compression ratio is not so good and access is also not so good (performance is not so good).The more is the positives...more is useful the aggregate and more it satisfies the number of queries. The greater the number of minus signs, the worse the evaluation of the aggregate. The larger the number of plus signs, the better the evaluation of the aggregate.
if "-----" then it means it just an overhead. Aggregate can potentially be deleted and "+++++" means Aggregate is potentially very useful.
In valuation column,if there are more positive sign it means that the aggregate performance is good and it is useful to have this aggregate.But if it has more negative sign it means we need not better use that aggregate.
In usage column,we will come to know how far the aggregate has been used in query.
Thus we can check the performance of the aggregate.

performance ISSUE related to AGGREGATE
Note 356732 - Performance Tuning for Queries with Aggregates
Note 166433 - Options for finding aggregates (find optimal aggregates for an InfoCube)
4. Run your query in RSRT and run the query in the debug mode. Select "Display Aggregates Found" and "Do not use cache" in the debug mode. This will tell you if it hit any aggregates while running. If it does not show any aggregates, you might want to redesign your aggregates for the query.
Also your query performance can depend upon criteria and since you have given selection only on one infoprovider...just check if you are selecting huge amount of data in the report
Check for the query read mode in RSRT.(whether its A,X or H)..advisable read mode is X.
5. In BI 7 statistics need to be activated for ST03 and BI admin cockpit to work.
By implementing BW Statistics Business Content - you need to install, feed data and through ready made reports which for analysis.

You can go to T-Code DB20 which gives you all the performance related information like
Partitions
Databases
Schemas
Buffer Pools
Tablespaces etc
use tool RSDDK_CHECK_AGGREGATE in se38 to check for the corrupt aggregates
If aggregates contain incorrect data, you must regenerate them.
202469 - Using aggregate check tool
Note 646402 - Programs for checking aggregates (as of BW 3.0B SP15)
You can find out whether an aggregate is usefull or useless you can find out through a proccess of checking the tables RSDDSTATAGGRDEF*
Run the query in RSRT with statistics execute and come back you will get STATUID... copy this and check in the table...
This gives you exactly which infoobjects it's hitting, if any one of the object is missing it's useless aggregate.

Check SE11 > table RSDDAGGRDIR . You can find the last callup in the table.

Problems in query result with infoset and timedep infoobject

Hi,
I have the following situation:
infoobject ZEMPLOYEE timedep
Infocube 0C0_CCA_C11 (standard cost center/cost element postings)
-> infoset with infoobject and infocube linked with outer join
My query should show all active employees in one month without any posting in the infocube.
My testdata looks like this:
pernr date from    date to         cost center
4711 01.01.1000 31.12.2002
4711 01.01.2003 31.01.2009   400000
4711 01.02.2009 31.12.9999
That means the employee is only active between 01.01.2003 and 31.01.2009.
I expect the following result in the query with key-date 31.01.2009:
4711 01.01.2003 31.01.2009   400000
I expect the following result in the query with key-date 01.02.2009:
no result
-> because the employee is not active anymore, I don't want to see him in the query.
My query delivers the following result:
4711 01.02.2009 31.12.9999
The first and the last entry in master data is automatically created by the system.
I tried to exclude the not active employees by selection over cost center in the filter (like cost center between 1 and 9999999, or exclude cost center #). But unfortunately the filter selection does not work, because obviously the attributes are not filled in the last entry.
Is there anyone who can tell me how I can exclude the last entry in the master data in the query?
Any help is much appreciated! Points will be assigned!
best regards
Chris

HI,
problem is that I can't use employe status in this case, beacuse for any reason the people don't use it.
I have also tried with exceptions and conditions, but the attributes ar enot filled, so it seems that nothing works.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Problem with query design mode?

hi friends,
how are you, i created query, i have customer and material and price&quantity.
i have some values corresponding objects.
i click design mode and inserted drop box for material , and again exit design mode, i got drop box with my material.
in drop mox i have 5 material. when i select material 3 the query is not showning values for material 3 . its showing all values . what can i do for this.
regards
suneel.

Judging from the error message, I'd suspect that IIS is trying to use some authentication service for the user. Are you using something like a "single sign-on" (Windows NT native authentication, NDS authentication, etc.?
As a test, you could try downloading the Oracle OLEDB driver to see if that solves the problem.
Unfortunately, nothing jumps out at me here as obviously wrong or an obvious path to getting this working.

Performance problem in Mapping Designer using UDF with external imports

Hello,
we do have a big performance problem in developing (not in execution) graphical Mappings as far as we use "user defined functions" (UDF) with include-entries referencing to jar files which are imported as "imported archives".
For example the execution of invice mapping with a little bit bigger test file in the Mapping designer:
- after opening, not in change mod: 6 seconds
- after switching to change mod: 37 seconds (that's clear, now everything is compiled first)
- after adding "com.seeburger.functions.permstore.CounterFactory;" into the "import" field of one UDF, no other change: 227 seconds
- after saving and submiting the changlist (no longer in change mode): 6 seconds
- after switching to change mode: 227 seconds
So execution speed of testing (and also when watching queues) only increases in changemod more then three minutes when using UDF with imports, referencing to external JAR files. It doesn't depend on Seeburger functions (we are using XI also for EDIFACT, so we also use some Seeburger functions), I can reproduce it with any other JAR file which is used from a UDF.
Using java included functions like "java.text.NumberFormat;" in "Import" doesn't slow down the testing.
Can anybody reproduce this? We are using XI 3.0 SP19 on a AIX machine, so we also have to use the Java version from IBM.

Problems with query that uses date as filter .

I have an application and it's have a form automatically generated by Apex, through a View. That view use instead of triggers to update , insert and delete, because the view use many tables..
But always that I run a query using filters, setting a period of date, some dates show data, but the majority not, even if they have data on the database.
I even looked for the datas in the table on Object's Browser and filter by the dates that has the problem and they showed the values registered on these dates.
But I don't have a idea why it doesn't show these values when I run the query.
Exemple of query used : select * from coresp where data_2 between '22/05/09' and '22/05/09';
this query return two lines, but in object's browser return more than 100 lines .

Hi,
You need to make sure that SQL knows that these are dates by using the TO_DATE() function:
select * from coresp where data_2 between TO_DATE('22/05/09','DD/MM/YY') and TO_DATE('22/05/09','DD/MM/YY')Andy
