Display Query Description in Header in PDF Print

Hi all,
When using PDF Print option I would like to print the Query Description in the Header. From the dialog box I only see options for Data, Time, Pages and custom text. Can you please let me know how can I print the Query Description in the Header while using PDF Print.
Thank you,
Ram

Yes I understand but that is not what I mean.
1. I have assigned a document to a certain query element in the BW metadata repository. This document contains a short report description and the purpose with it.
2. Now I want to display this information within a "information field" under the information tab when running a report.
Is it possible to display this information with a standard sap text element web item?

Text valriable in Query Description is not working in Bex Broadcaster

Hello Experts,
I am using Bex broadcaster setting to displaying Query Description through text variable availabe as <OBJECT_DESCRIPTION> in subject of boradcasted mail.
In Query Description I have used text variable at the end to display previous month/year i.e "Report &ZPREV&" .
Text variable with description is working fine in RSRT/ Analyzer, I am able to see description as "Report 201012" but the same description displays "Report &ZPREV&" in the subject line of broadcasted mail i.e. text variable is not getting assigned with desired value and technical name appears.
Thanks,

this problem may arise due to non-assignment of text variable to the any of the characteristics you using the year so, REFER THE TEXT VARIABLE TO THE FISCAL YEAR . WHICH IS IN TIME CHARACTERISTICS.
HAVE YOU CREATED ANY OFFSET VARIABLE, CREATE A VARIABLE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR AND CREATE OFFSET TO THE VARIABLE AS -1 THEN YEAR WILL YEAR-1 , THE TEXT VARIABLE YOU CREATED WILL REFER TO THE FISCAL YEAR SO THE PREVIOUS YEAR VALUE OF THE TEXT VARIABLE WILL THE YEAR = YEAR - 1.

Bi7 Variable screen, need to show query description

hi
i upgraded workbooks from bw 3.5 to BI 7
workbook contains 5 queries in 5 different worksheets
now when i refresh the query, the variable screen shows like this
dp_1 ztst_1
dp_2 ztst_2
dp_3 ztst_3
,,,,,,,,, etc.,
dp_1,2,3 are for dataprovider 1,2,3
ztst_1,2,3 are queries technical name.
i dont want this
for all users i want them to see QUERY DESCRIPTION next to dp_1,2,3
there is no way i can rename dp_1,2,3 if i upgrade a workbook
HOW TO DO THIS?

not a good solution, i already tried it.....
you have to do it for all queries
At first u still see the Technical name only......
if you refresh the query again or change variable, then u notice the difference.
close the workbook or close the query this setting is change
now you reopen the query and workbook, same process to follow
what i need?
A SETTING THAT BY DEFAULT DISPLAYS QUERYS DESCRIPTION ALWAYS IN VARIABLE SCREEN FOR EVERY QUERY/WORKBOOK.
is it possible ?

I get an error 400 parameter description required while trying to use netflix

Im trying to access netflix and under any menu such as "recently watched" or "instatnt queue" I get an error message that says
400
parameter description required
I reset the Apple TV and still had the same problem.
I logged out of Netflix then logged back in, same problem.
After trying multiple times it still gave me the same error.
Tried it again after 5-7 minutes and it worked, no more error message.
Any ideas?

We have the same problem. It appears to be something with AppleTV as Netflix works on our iPhone and the Wii. I haven't tried to use it on the AppleTV in about an hour but maybe it will have cleared itself up by now. Did all the reset and log in and out stuff, too.

Length Of Query Description

Can Any One Suggest Me How To Maximize Query Description Length
i.e More than 120 Char .
Regards
Supraja.K

Hello,
Thanks Rohan.
I checked the table and it contains the field called TXTLG which is Char 60. You need to modify this table and make the length of as many char as you want, save and activate. I am not sure, if you need to perform this activity in directly into production or you can transport the table.
It may give you error while you change the data type of the field as table may contain data. If you get such error, I dont see any other solution, because it is practically impossible to empty this table.

Query description display

When executing queries directly to the Explorer browser, the Explorer tab shows the query's technical name, not its description.
Where is the customising setting that enables it to show the query description?

Text variable to be used in query description

Hi,
Need to use text variable in the query description. I have created one which processes by customer exit to get the value as system date. But the description is still showing as &variable name&
Checked with value of i_step = 2 and 3. still not working
Any inputs?
Searched the forums, but couldnt find a solution!
Thanks in Advance,
Tinkugeo

Hi Tinkugeo,
I tried with the following code and it is working for me :
DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid.
Data: NEWDATE type sy-datum.
IF i_vnam EQ <variable name>
if i_step EQ 2.
CLEAR l_s_range.
NEWDATE = sy-datum.
month = NEWDATE+4(2).
year = NEWDATE+0(4).
day = NEWDATE+6(2).
l_s_range-low+0(2) = day.
l_s_range-low+2(1) = '/'.
l_s_range-low+3(2) = month.
l_s_range-low+5(1) ='/'.
l_s_range-low+6(4) = year.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
endif.
Check that the variable you have made is of type customer exit.
Best Wishes,
Mayank

Query Description not displaying in Bex Template

Hi all,
I have created a Template in Bex Analyser in the Design mode of a Workbook. I have assigned this workbook template as the Default Template for all the Queries by selecting it in Global Settings. I closed this workbook template and opened a query. I am getting the template embedded in the query as i designed but the problem is the Query Description is not displaying correctly. In the Query, it is showing the Workbook Description in the header instead of Query Description.
Where should i change it? Help me in fixing this. Thanks.
Regards,
Murali

Hi,
you should use an Info Field WebItem to display the query name or description in your Webtemplate.
Parameter in InfoField: General Text Elements for a Data Provider (GENERIC_TEXT_ELEMENT).
You use this parameter to choose the generic text element that is to be displayed:
● Query Name (QUERY)
● Query Description (QUERY_DESCRIPTION)

Workbook Query Description

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to add to 2 queries to a workbook. (BI 7.0)
I run the report in analyzer and saved it as workbook.
I inserted a new sheet and in the design mode added the 2nd query to the workbook with the help of analysis grid.
Both the reports work fine, But I get the report description only for the first inserted report.
For the 2nd one I only get a table of report value with no query header.
Please let me know what options I need check for this
Thanks
El.

1. Open your workbook. Go to Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor
2.In the Project Explorer Window Choose DefaultWorkbook Module and insert the below Code at the end of CallBack Sub Function
    Cells.Find(What:="Total", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
        :=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
        False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
    Selection.Font.Bold = True
    With Selection.Interior
        .Pattern = xlSolid
        .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
        .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
        .TintAndShade = -0.349986266670736
        .PatternTintAndShade = 0
    End With
Hope this suits your requirement.
Note: Change the part "Total" in the code, whatever is the heading of the line you need to do this formatting.

SQL Query Assistance Required for Full Outer Join

Hi,
Lets say I have two tables, i.e:
TAB_A (colA1, colA2, colA3, colA4)
TAB_B (colB1, colB2, colB3, colB4) where colB2 is a FK to colA1
I am after an SQL query that will cater for both the following two scenarios.
Scenario 1:
TAB_A has two rows of data, i.e
(1, ABC100, 1, WG_A)
(2, ABC100, 2, WG_B)
TAB_B has one row of data, i.e
(1, 1, EMP_222, 4)
I use the following SQL:
select a.*, b.*
from tab_a a FULL OUTER JOIN tab_b b ON (a.colA1 = b.colB2)
where a.colA2 = 'ABC100'
This returns two rows:
1, ABC100, 1, WG_A, 1, 1, EMP_222, 4
2, ABC100, 2, WG_B
Now, what I actually would like my query to do is actually only return the row where a tab_b record exists, i.e, should only return one record:
1, ABC100, 1, WG_A, 1, 1, EMP_222, 4
This I can achieve by using a RIGHT OUTER JOIN instead above, but this causes issue with my scenario 2, which is the following set-up
Scenario 2:
TAB_A has only one row of data this time, i.e
(2, ABC100, 2, WG_B)
TAB_B has no data at all this time
This returns no rows but I actually now want this single record from tab_a returned.
I basically require an SQL query that will cater for both the top 2 scenarios, i.e, if a tab_b record exists from the outer join then only return this record along with tab_a data. If a tab_b record doesn't exist, then only return the tab_a record.
Hope the above makes sense.
Thanks.
