Hi,
Can you please refer to this blog there is some usefull information you needed.
/people/ted.ueda/blog/2008/10/20/businessobjects-enterprise-sdk--relationship-queries
& some info about query builder which i have.
1) How to identify who are named users and who are Concurrent users:
Run this query in query builder.
Select SI_NAME from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS where SI_NAMEDUSER=0 AND SI_KIND='User'
SI_NAMEDUSER=0 stands for Concurrent and 1 stands for Named user as its a Boolean variable.
2) After running this query we will get list of user id from administrator group:
SELECT SI_GROUP_MEMBERS FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.UserGroup' AND SI_NAME = 'Administrators'
3) Run the following query to get list of user name :
    Select si_id,si_name from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS
Thanks,
SK.

A way to convert selection from query builder in DML language

I search a way to convert selection from query builder in DML language.
regards

We will make a sample from this request and post it on OTN. I have pasted all the JSP code so you should be able to use it directly. Just change the BISession details and the presentation references.

SQL developer 3.0 - Few Query Builder issues

Hi All,
I have just started using SQL Developer 3.0 so have not fully browsed thru all of the available options in SQL Developer. I have been trying to work on creating and editing sql statements using Worksheet and Query Builder.
I am working on to test this tool so I can give it to the users for them to try and use it - they used to work on the old Query Builder 6.0.7....since it is already de-supported long back to work against 11g database, I am hoping to tell them to use SQL developer 3.0 instead.
Hence, if an user doesn't know how to write a sql statement, he/she would try to do the same using Query Builder.
So, the following questions are more aligned towards a normal user who would try to create a query in the Query Builder window, instead of directly typing a sql statement in the Worksheet window.
1) How to establish/create a relationship between tables after you have dragged down the tables into the Query Builder window? - i tried but couldn't get any options!.
2) Sometimes I see 'Connection closed' error when i try to run a query. How to refresh the connection without opening a new Connection tab?
- I tried this but evertytime it opens up a new connection tab, while the old tab is still present.
3) Columns in the Expression field in Query Builder window can ONLY be displayed in the result set, if the 'output' box on the extreme left of the 2nd section in Query Builder window is checked.
Now when i try to check the output box for an expression (with few aggregate functions), the 'Grouping' check box automatically gets checked, which when run throws an ORA-00934 error: group function is not allowed here...but when I de-select the 'Grouping' check box, the 'output' box also gets un-checked!.
How to solve this out?
Please let me know the resolutions of the above - much appreciated.
With Regards,
Pamir

Results in Query Builder Differ From Report Results

I've got a report I built in SSRS using an SSAS dataset. The problem is that the results differ between the query builder result set and the actual report. For some reason, when running the actual report, certain rows are being filtered out, but yet those
same rows appear in the result set when validating the query in the query builder.
Here's the result set as it appears in query builder:
...and here are the results of the actual report:
As you can see, 3M and Angie's popcorn are not returned in the report. I have no filters defined on the report at all.
This appears to be happening with other result sets for the same report.
No idea why the results are accurate in query builder and then off in the actual report.
Any help would be appreciated!
A. M. Robinson

Hi A. M. Robinson,
The issue may be caused by the data cache. When we preview a report, the report processor runs all the queries for datasets in the report using the current parameter defaults, and saves the results as a local data cache (.rdl.data) file. We can continue
to design our report without incurring the overhead of retrieving this data again if we make no changes to either the report dataset queries or the report parameters. Please to delete the cache (.rdl.data) file try to solve the issue.
Reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157366.aspx
Alternative, you can create a similar report to check if the issue is persist.
If the issue is persist, could you please post more detail information about your report design? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Query Builder - Find WEBI reports that are using a table

I am trying to find list of WEBI reports using a specific table. This specific table is used in only 1 universe.
Though I could successfully find list of reports that use this universe, I am unable to find drill down further and find the subset of reports using this table/object.
SELECT si_name, SI_KIND, si_id, SI_PARENTID,SI_AUTHOR,SI_OWNER FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS
WHERE PARENTS("SI_NAME='WEBI-UNIVERSE'","SI_NAME ='MyUniverse'")
Is it possible to find the information I am looking for using query builder.
Also, for a given WEBI report I am trying to find the list of report names and the folder they reside in:
Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_PATH, SI_KIND, SI_OWNER From CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS WHERE
PARENTS("SI_NAME='Folder Hierarchy'",
"PARENTS('SI_NAME=''WEBI-UNIVERSE'' ', 'SI_NAME=''MyUniverse'' ')" )
The above query just gives me the folder names. I am looking to find the report names as well the the folder (and preferably the path) in a single query. Is that possible.

Sri,
With respect to your 1st requirement:
In BusinessObjects 6.5 it was possible. However, post BOXIR2 this information could not be retrieved from CMS via query builder. I agree with Jorge Sosua's comment above.
With respect to your 2nd requirement:
The field 'SI_PATH' will retrieve Filestore path(physical path). If you were referring logical path(Public folder path or psuedo-reference path) will you please refer my respone to Kelly Stone at BusinessObjects Query builder queries - Part II , If this may assist you.

Regarding query builder api

Hi,
   i am able to create image reference but not able to create image path from dam i am putting like this
   map.put("type", "dam:Asset"); is this correct or is there any other way to getpath of image from dam .please let me know
code------------
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
        map.put("path", "/content/dam");
        map.put("type", "dam:Asset");
        map.put("group.p.or", "true"); // combine this group with OR
        map.put("group.1_fulltext", fulltextSearchTerm);
        map.put("group.1_fulltext.relPath", "jcr:content");
        map.put("group.2_fulltext", fulltextSearchTerm);
        map.put("group.2_fulltext.relPath", "jcr:content/@cq:tags");
       log.info("======mapout======"+map);
        Query query = builder.createQuery(PredicateGroup.create(map),session);
        log.info("======query======"+query);
        SearchResult result = query.getResult();
         // log.info("======result======"+result);
               // iterating over the results
        for (Hit hit : result.getHits()) {
            String path = hit.getPath();
          // ValueMap props = hit.getProperties();
           response.getWriter().write(path);
           //response.getWriter().write(props);
             log.info("======result======"+result);

Regarding this:
map.put("group.2_fulltext.relPath", "jcr:content/@cq:tags");
Note that it's "jcr:content/metadata/@cq:tags" for assets, and note that full text searching the cq:tags property is not a good idea, since these are IDs, not the tag titles that you see in the UI and when the titles change or a tag is moved/merged, the IDs are not changed. You want to first search in the tags tree to find matching tags and then search for them, using the tagid predicate.

Query Builder - 2 occurrences of same table and Show Related Tables

In SQL Developer 1.5 the Query Builder still does not allow you to drag two copies of the same table onto the canvas. Additionally the Show Related Tables does not appear to do anything even after Hide Related Tables. Both of these operations sets the cursor to the hourglass although you can continue working as if the commands completed OK. Query Builder is a great time saver but with limitations like this it is really hobbled.
Additionally, in order to get join conditions you have to double-click the join in the diagram before the appropriate WHERE clause appears. I have not found any reference to how to use the Query Builder in any documentation. This forum has stated that the Query Builder is supposed to be intuitive and easy to use but this is not the case so far.
The rest of SQL Developer is a pleasure to use!

Thanks for your feedback. There are a number of things we want to do to the Query Builder. The issue about dragging 2 copies of a table onto the work surface is a logged enhancement request that we want to address. The Show Related tables and hourglass issues are bugs and need to be addressed. I'll document those.
Better documentation is also important and we can add that into the product for a future release.
In the short term, I have on previous occasion said I'd do a demo for using the Query Builder, so I'll make that a priority.

Help with Query Builder please

Hi,
I would like to query the system database for reports using ftp, email, and unmanaged disk as Destinations. I am not familar with the datafields in the BOXI database nor with the Query Builder syntax or SQL type queries. Can someone provide samples of this type of query and possibly the exact field names to be included.
I would actually like to design a Crystal report that would return this information as needed. Something like...
Report name Report location Type of Destination Actual Destination specified
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately these properties are nested within the results you will receive if you query for any of your individual reports within Query Builder. Try this out for reference:
select top 1 * from ci_infoobjects
where si_name = 'YOURREPORTNAME'
and si_instance = 1
Nested properites cannot be included in the select clause of your query. For the majority of nested properties such as instance destinations, you'll need to either develop script to retrieve this information or utilize a 3rd party product (System Profiler, etc) that has this information available and pre-build reports.

After I edited the SQL in a dataset, I can't use the query builder in any datasets that I create.

Is there a way to reset BI Publisher Enterprise 11 so that I can use the query builder again instead of having to write out all of the SQL? I know that I can't use the query builder for the dataset that I edited the sql in but I would like to use the query builder for new datasets.
Thanks,

How to diasable Data Edit in Query Builder?

Is there a way to disable Data Edit in Query Builder in Dev6? When QB was part of Discoverer as Browser it was possible via BROWSER_PROFILE. The QB now ignores this neither it have any table instead. There is note in help that the feature is disabled by default and admin should have to enable it, but, seems, it is occasionally left from previous releases.
TIA,
Uldis

Hi,
What did you mean the “string”? What did you want to do to use the string parameter?
Did you mean managed properties?
If you mean the managed properties, you can just select the managed properties in the query builder, the query builder would automatically generate the path.
There are some articles about the query builder for your reference.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/mspfe/archive/2013/02/01/how-query-rules-and-result-sources-can-be-used-to-customize-search-results.aspx
What’s more, there are some restrictions for KQL, you can also have a look at it.

Thanks!

The exception is caused because an item descriptor in the repository is "transient",
meaning that it has no primary table. This situation results in the use of a
different QueryBuilder class that isn't compatible with the Builder interface that is
required, which causes the ClassCastException.
Have you modified the promotion item descriptor?

Query Builder - Format options missing??

When creating a Data Model with Query Builder I have no problems selecting tables and the columns that I want from those tables, but when I go the Conditions tab and try to select a Function for a column the drop down list is always the same regardless of the datatype (COUNT, COUNT DISTINCT, INITCAP, LENGTH, LOWER, LTRIM, RTRIM, TRIM, UPPER) I was expecting to see different Functions depending on the datatype as the help states . . .
Available argument functions include:
1. Number columns - COUNT, COUNT DISTINCT, AVG, MAXIMUM,. MINIMUM, SUM
2. VARCHAR2, CHAR columns - COUNT, COUNT DISTINCT, INITCAP, LENGTH, LOWER, LTRIM, RTRIM, TRIM, UPPER
3. DATE, TIMESTAMP columns- COUNT, COUNT DISTINCT
It seems to think that all my coulmns are VARCHAR2, CHAR columns which they are not. I'm on version 10.1.3.4.0. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
- Joe

Query Builder is a crutch tool. Small, lightweight, but limited. It does not have every inline function you see in the SQL reference guide. If you need more, then you have to do more on your own.

How to add a new field in Query Builder or Report

Hi,
I am writing a report using Oracle 6i query builder and report.
example:
QTY_1 QTY_2 QTY_3
QTY_1 and QTY_2 are table fields and QTY_3 Is not. I need to show the value of (QTY_2-QTY_1) in QTY_3.
I need to create a field QTY_3 which is not in the database table. How do I do that?
Jun

Hi,
Try using formula to return the qty_1 - qty2.
or
select qty_1, qty_2, (qty_1 - qty_2) qty_3
from table;
regards,

CM14 BI Publisher - modifying an existing Data Model, the Graphic View in Query Builder does not display

I am trying to edit the default forms/reports that come with CM14, trying to edit the data model, data set, (to get to the old Infomaker style graphic view) , the Query model does not display (error the list of tables is too long..) Oracle tell me the limit is 60, there are not 60 tables referenced in any CM report.
Does this Query builder view work at all on any report?
(bigger question, we are moving from CM12, should we move to CM13 which works with infomaker?)
Thanks,
Paul L

Kurt, thanks for your replies.
A couple of notes/clarifications.
1. You are correct that BI works better in Firefox--I have observed issues with the BI display when using IE. I would recommend using Firefox too.
2. You are correct about the way to get to the Query Builder to see a graphical view of data tables. There are basically two issues with this that I mentioned, but will re-iterate:
a. If you have an EXISTING query in the data set, then click the "Query Builder" button, this will remove the existing query that's there, it will NOT display the existing query in the query builder. Query Builder works only to create a NEW query from scratch.
b. Query builder is limited to selecting 60 fields max in your query. If you are creating a large report with many tables, you may find that 60 fields is not enough. For that you will have to work in the SQL edit screen rather than using the query builder.
I would impress on anyone developing CM14 reports that they become familiar with the database schema and relationships to avoid problems when developing your BI reports. You should be able to find the tables and joins documentation in the knowledgebase.
