Query Def. Filter Value Selection - to master data wont activate

Hi, I want to change the info object properties Query Def. Filter Value Selection to select Values in master data, but when I try to activate it, it goes back to the old selection "only values in info provider" is this because there is data already loaded and so it wont allow me to change or is there anything simple I am missing ??
Reason being I do not want to delete the data to make this setting in the info object maintanence...

hi ram,
Before u activate try "Checking" the Infoobject definition and see if you get any warning/error messages.
Then try activating it.
hope it helps,
regards,
Parth.

Query Definition Filter Value Selection

Hi BW Experts,
This is regarding a navigation attribute restriction while defining a query.
When we are defining a query on multiprovider / basic infocube and trying to put a restriction from the context menu on a navigation attribute,the screen is hanging and the fixed values for restriction are appearing after 5 to 6 minutes.
While it should not take so much time, it should ideally display it in few seconds.
This is happening for all the navigation attributes.
Please share if anybody has faced this problem before or any suggestions regarding any settings at Infoobject, Basic cube or Multiprovider level.
Any relevant input would be highly appreciated and appropriate points would be awarded.
Best Regards

Hello Praval,
it is BW3.5 or BI7.0?
Webreports or Excel?
If Webreports check the command "Read Mode" in WAD -> NAVIGATIONBLOCK
-> Master Data Table = fast
-> Dimension Table = medium
-> Posted Values = slow
Check the InfoObjects
-> Business Explorer
-> Query Def. Filter Value Selection
-> Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn

What's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and

Hi Gurus,
what's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn" in info-object's "Business explorer" tab?
I found out that if my info-object A has a input-ready variable in a query,after the query running,in the selection screen,my info-object A's F4 value is follow the setting of "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn",as the setting of "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" I tried every diff setting, it won't effect my query anyway.
so:
1.what's the exact difference between "Query Def. Filter Value Selection" and "Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn" in info-object's "Business explorer" tab?
2.how they effect query's presentation?
I searched forum,didn't find the answer what I want.
Thanks everyone.

Hi Denny,
I will try to explain it again.
Query Def. Filter Value Selection : Let say the value is set to "Only Values in Infoprovider"
Lets take an example infoobject - 0MATERIAL (Material)
Total material records in material Master = 1000 (master Data table /BI0/PMATERIAL)
You create a query on top of an Infoprovider using Material.
Total unique materials in Infoprovider= 500.
Now when you are in design mode in Query Designer, and you try to restrict Material by few materials (for e.g. 1, 2, and 3), for this you right click on material and select Restrict, the pop-up opens with list of materials, this list is all those 500 materials which are in the infoprovider, because the setting is "Only Values in Infoprovider". Which means then when you are trying to restrict a characterstic in query definition the list of values displayed for restricition is derived from Infoprovider.
Query Execution Filter Value Selection - I think you already know what it is , its the read mode for F4 help selection.
I hope this helps.
Thanks

Query Def. Filter Value Selection

Hello,
We upgraded our BW Dev application from 3.0(b) to 3.5
When I go into Bex Query Designer and I want to see the values for my InfoObject: 0FISCPER, I see old values
Low Value: Period 15 2001 02/015/2001
High Value: Period 16 2005 02/016/2005
I am used to seeing 'Only values in InfoProvider'
I can get those values to display when I click 'Display other Values' and then check the box for 'Only Values in InfoProvider', But that should be the default, since in my InfoObject I have the Parameter: Query Def. Filter Value Selection set to 'Only values in InfoProvider'
Can some one help me, or am I misunderstanding something here.
This behavior works as expected on our BW 3.0(B) production box that has not yet been upgraded to BW 3.5
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
i have found a workaround for this issue.
I investigated the underlying tables for the InfoObject "Business Explorer" properties tab.
I found that the fieldname for that data Element in question (Query Def. Filter Value Selection) was RSF4DEFAULT.
I went to SE11 and entered RSF4DEFAULT as the 'Data Type' I then clicked the icon for "Where-Used List", I checked the box for 'Table Fields' and clicked OKay.
It came back with the following tables: RSDCHABAS and RSDDPA.
I went to SE16 and looked at RSDCHABAS for the characteristic (CHABASNM) 0FISCPER on my Development system and compared it to my Production system.
On development I saw we had the 'Active', 'Delivered', and 'Modified' version of the object, so I scrolled to the right to see the F4DEFAULT field value, it listed M, D, D respectively.
I checked out that table on Production and saw it had D, D, D.
So even though in the GUI for the infoObject I was seeing the correct selection, the corresponding base table was wrong. So I set the infoObject to Master data values and activated.
i looked at the underlying table again and it displayed M this time, So I went back to the infoobject and set it back to 'Only values in infoprovider" and activated the object.
Now I went back to teh underlying table and it reflected the value D in F4DEFAULT for the Active version.
When I went back to Query designer the default filter worked as expected!
So that is the work around. How the GUI became inconsistent with the DB tables is another question.

Filter value selection in Queries takes a long time

Hello BW gurus....
I have a problem here. When a user tries to run a consolidated query it takes a long time. what are some of the performance tuning that can be done. My other issue is that once the query is run and the user tries to change the filter values say hes trying to restrict Cons group it takes like 30 min for the options to come up or even more than that and eventually fails. Is there any thing which i can do to improve the performance of these filter value selection option. we are on portal EP 6.0. I know this has nothing to do with interface but the crux of the problem is in the back end.
Any help is really appreciated
thanks

The Only Posted Values in Navigation generates a query that must examine most to your cube to find all filter options that correspond to your query. If the cube is large and you don't have much in the way of other restrictions, this can take a while. The benefit of this option is that the user is only presented with filter options that are in the domain they are interested in.
If you switch to either of the other options, the filter options are quickly deteremined by examing either the dimension or master table. The downside is that those filter options may not be in the data the your query would exclude, e.g.
Lets say you have a query on Bus Area and Cost Center.
- Master Data for Cost Centers = 0001 - 9999
- Cost Centers in your data are 0001 - 2999
- Only Cost Centers 1000 - 1099 in Bus Area 10.
If you have an input variable to select only Bus Area = 10 and run the query, then want to filter on Cost Center:
- with Only Values in Navigation, the user would only see Cost Centers 1000 - 1099 in the filter selection list.
- with Only Values in InfoProvider, the user would see Cost Centers 1000 - 2999.
- with Only Values in Master Data, user would see 0001 - 9999.
This may or may not be acceptable. If a user chooses Cost Center 2000, the query would copme back with No Available Data since ther are not transaction with Bus Area = 10 and Cost Center 2000.
Now lets say you are using CALMONTH, chances are the user would understand that if they select a November of 2006 while in August, they wouldn't get any data. They might understand what Cost Centers to expect back in Bus Area 10, but they may not be as familiar with all the values for all Characteristics.
Like everything else, there are pros + cons.

Read attribute value of a master data object's master data object

Hi Guys,
I have a peculiar condition where I need to read attribute value of a master data object's master data.
Requisition (ZREQUI) is linked to Candidacy (ZCDCY) by object called Recquisition.
Candidacy (ZCDCY) is linked to Candidacy Activity (0CDCY_ACT) by object called Candidacy.
I want to populate attribute called due date in ZREQUI by reading lowest value of due date value of 0CDCY_ACT. There can be multiple hits.
If I can get the code to do this, I would really appreciate it.

Here is the outline of the code ,as per my understanding..chk if it can help u
In start routine write a select statement to pick all the data from 0cdcy_act.
select 0CDcY_ACT ZCDCY DuE_DATE from /BiC/P0CDCY_ACT
into table itab1
for all entries in source_package
where ZCDCY = source_package-ZCDCY.
as you need the lowest due date, sort the iTAB1
sort itab1 by due_date ZCDCY. (default is acending order)
In the field routine of your due date
Read table itab1tnto wa_itab1 where
ZCDCy = source_fields -ZcDcY.
now duedate = wa_itab1-duedate.

Filter value selection for the query execution

Dear experts!
I am working with an input ready query (which is over an aggregation level), and we need to display in the selection variable screen the values for a charateristic from the InfroProvider, not from the Master Data. I don't mind how to do this, but I need to do it and for the moment it seems impossible. I've read note 984229 and in there it says that:
<i>'Only Values in InfoProvider'
In this case, only values of characteristics that are posted in the InfoCube dimensions or in the DataStore are used for the input value request. This D-mode is valid for InfoCubes or the DataStore as an InfoProvider and for MultiProviders that have only InfoCubes and/or a DataStore as part providers. An exception to this is characteristics that are modeled as a Line Item Dimension. D-mode is not supported for this.</i>
I am over an aggregation level, and thus SAP says it is not possible with the F4, but I don't mind if I have to code whatever, but I need someway to do this.......
I need whatever type of solution......I am open to any kind of help you can provide me...... =) please!!!!
Points will be given to helpful answers
Thanks and kind regards.
Cecilia

Could you please check as per Note 1565809 and make sure the F4 mode is really M mode in each level settings?

Hot to show documents for values of infoobjects (master data)?

helly everybody,
i try again to explain what i wanna do. maybe anybody can help me? thx anyway for all other replies before!
by SEM-BPS planning functions our users can create documents for values saved in cube and infoobjects masta data. in another function they want to view all documents for an given value. I know to get the documents via functions but i dont know to show this data in web. Can anybody tell me an way?
How can i get back the result of my programmed functions back to the web interface and create a table with the data? or how can i download the data to files? I found the gui_download_services but it isnt working by web because of not knowing handler of the gui environment.
regards
Frank

Hi,
Did you try the WebApplication 'Document Browser' and the WebItem 'List of Documents'. For the list of documents you could create a DataProvider (Query), which contains same or similar filter as the BPS planning function and the list would then show all documents for this selection.

Navigational Attribute Filter value selection not showing full name

Hi Experts,
We are having Navigational Attribute TM Responsible. We have created variable in BEX for it. When we are searching for value selection for this in RSRT, its showing only last name and key part. But If I dont pass any values, and display the result its showing full name. Please find the screen shots.
Customer needs full name to be available for selection in filter in above picture 1.
Please suggest what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Govind

Hi All,
The issue is resolved. Making display as Long text at Infoobject level and at Query display level was not working. Hence I tried to change the display at Multiprovider level as shown below. This fixed the issue.
Right click Navigational attribute -> Provider specific properties
Made the display as Long text.
This setting resolved the problem.
Thanks for help and replies.
Thanks,
Govind

Query or report for G/L Master data including Tax Field and Description

Dear SAP Gurus
Please help me. I am trying to find a report to display G/L master data at company code level and which includes the tax filed and tax catagory description. Does such a report exist please?
I have also created a query but cannnot add the description of the tax catagory entered in the G/L master data. Can you please tell me if such a table exists which can be used for a query. Besides the VAT code if this is entered in the master data I need to include value and description of the tax catagory such as *, > etc.
Many thanks
PRG

Hi,
There is no table storing the description on tax catagory such as *, > etc.
Even SAP has hardcoded the discription in the search help of these special tex categories. For tax codes it picks from table T007A.
You need to create your program with fetching the values for these tax categories.

Gaurav

Several single value selection in InfoPackage Data selection using Routine

Hi,
I am trying to extract data from a table(containing Ticket data) in R/3 using Generic extractor with table. As the table is not supporting the delta functionality i have to do daily full load for more than 5 lak records.
I dont want all the tickets from R/3, i just need the tickets which are open. Unfortunately there is no field in R/3 table which indicates Ticket status. But in BW i have a DSO where i can get the tickets along with their status.
Now what i want to do is:
in the Infopackage i want to give the dataselection for ticket, whose status is open which will be calculated in ABAP code by lookup to the DSO. Is this possible?
I know that in ABAP routine for Data selection we can give single values and range values. but here i just want to give several single values. That means if suppose i have 4 tickets T1,T2,T3,T4 in the DSO and if T1 and T4 are open tickets, then i have to get the data from R/3 just for T1 and T4.
in the above case if we use range then the low and high values in the range will be T1 and T4 respectively and the data pulled from R/3 will be from T1 - T4 ie all T1,T2,T3 & T4. but i need just T1 and T4.
Please share your ideas. also please send the code as i am not an ABAPer.
If Several single value selection is not possible at least send the code for the range values.
Thanks,
Cnu.

you can write a code like this in the ABAP routine in data selection in front of ticket characteristic
types: Begin of s_ticket,
     ticket type <type of ticket characterisitcs>,
      End of s_ticket.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix,
      wa_ticket type s_ticket,
      it_ticket type standard table of s_ticket,
      l_s_range type rsrdrange.
You can declare
read table l_t_range with key
     fieldname = '<your field name for ticket>'.
l_s_range-infoobject = '<infoobject name>'.
l_s_range-fieldname = '<field name of ticket cahracteristics>'.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-option = 'EQ'.
select * from <ODS active table> into table it_ticket where status = <value for open status>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
     loop at it_ticket into wa-ticket.
          l_s_range-low = wa_ticket-ticket.
          append l_s_range to l_t_range.
     endloop.
end if.
p_subrc = 0.
you need to modify it as per your requirements, i hope this might help you.

Selective erase Master data in BACKGROUND

Hi guru!!!
I have to erase some wrong master data records of a infoobject very used ( 0CUST_SALES).
When i try to do it in mantenance of the infoobject, selecting the wrong record and deleting them, the system do it in dialogue and i have a Runtime ERROR.
To avoid this runtime error i want to do it in BACKGROUND.
Can somebody tell me if it's possible erase some record ( not all ) of Master data Infoobject in BACKGROUND???
Thank you very much!!!!
Bye

Hi,
You can not delete master data if that infoobject is included/used by any infoprovider.
make sure that master data records has no transaction data exists then only u can delet
You can goto--> maintain master data of that infoobject and select the particular record and delete it selectively.
Use program - RSDMD_DEL_BACKGROUND in SE38 and give the variants for ur infoobject
Thanks
