Query Designer : change in charactristic

Hi Experts,
I have changed long text and short text of one charactristic but it is not reflecting the new name in reports.when i checked it in query designer on the left hand side under Dimensions it is showing me the new name but in Free charactristics it is still displaying old name and so in reports. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks you so much for quick replies. The thing is the charactristic was already there in reports. Now i canged the long text in the infoobject and activated it. but in query designer under free charactristics, it is not changed. i tried to regenerate query from RSRT but not helping. I think as Dirk mentioned it is not getting changed at this level automatically , but do i need to change this char in every report where it is used manually? there is no any other solution?

Value for a characteristic changed with an other value in Query Design

I want to change the value for a characteristic (Type) in Query Design (not the description, the value).
In my cube I have these values:
Customer *** Type
22222********SmallCorp
22223********SmallCorp
22224********MedCorp
The report should like:
Customer *** Type
22222********LEGALENTITIES
22223********LEGALENTITIES
22224********LEGALENTITIES
Or only the "SmallCorp" value should be changed in LEGALENTITIES.
How to do that?
Thanks,
Dragos

You can write an exit to replace Type SmallCorp to LEGALENTITIES.
But this will reflect in other queries too....
Or If change in modelling is still an option, you can add one more Type 2 in the cube and update in the transformation with Constant = LEGALENTITIES. Use the Type 2 in the queries.

Bind option in report. How to change setting in Query Designer?

Hello,
Is there any way of changing the 'Bind display of textx/attributes in data provider result and in value help' in the portal. We can change this option from the report by right clicking on the characteristic -> Properties -> Characteristic -> Selecting the 'Advanced' tab. But we want to make a permanent change to this option from the query designer so that the users would not have to change it every time they run the report. Can anyone point to where I can make that change in the query designer or anywhere else if that works?
There is a characteristic say 'XYZ'. It has a attribute 'ATTR'. We want to display the attribute alone in the column of the query. We are able to do so by bringing the characteristic 'XYZ' and dragging and dropping the attribute 'ATTR' under it. We then change the display options to make the characteristic as 'No dispaly'. But this affects not just the characteristic in the columns, but also in the Navigational blocks. So the users are not able to see any values while filtering. One way to fix this is to uncheck the 'Bind display of textx/attributes in data provider result and in value help' option after the report is executed which is an end user task. But we want to find out a way of changing this from the query designer, so that the users won't need to carry out his activity every time they run the report.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

There are a few ways that you can achieve this. If your SQL Queries have their filters modified (ie. WHERE clause) then this can be easily solved by adding report parameters to the Report filter. Search the in-product help for "Record Filter" and you should get a number of helpful resources returned.Additionally, you can pass in java.sql.ResultSet objects with a populated recordset of the data you want to show in the report. We don't currently provide any tools to assist the creation of the code stubs for thick-client applications (like we do for JSP pages) however you can download a collection of thick-client sample code from here:<a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip">http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip</a> As I mentioned, this sample contains a collection of code snippets. The one in particular you will be interested in is titled "JRCResultsetDatasource". Hopefully, this will provide you with a few options. Regards, Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager)

How to Change parameters passed in Iview generated by Query Designer

Hello,
We are running Netweaver 2004s with Portal integrated.
From the BW Query Designer (SAPGUI tool on desktop) it is possible to 'publish to portal'.
This generates an 'iview' in the portal. This is GREAT, but......
The 'Bex Web Application Query String' in the iview is built automagically
(e.g. QUERY=ZBFPR_C99_Q001&USE_PERSONALIZATION=false)
The QUERY= part is fine, however I can't figure out where the '&USE_PERSONALIZATION=false' comes from - and we MAY want to change this.
We definitely would like to ADD '&VARIABLE_SCREEN=X' to this 'query-string' as it is automatically built in Query Designer.
Obviously, we can manually change each iview that is built, but this will become a maintenance nightmare.
I have experimented with modifying the template (a copy of 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN), but we are using this template for 'ad-hoc' queries as well as the underlying template for query execution in the Portal. I got the template to behave nicely as 'ad-hoc' query executioner, and know that if the iview has this extra parameter it behaves as desired. I would rather not create a second template to render the queries, but this is also an option if no way can be found to add the parameter to the generated iview.
I have searched every source known to me (SPRO, Portal 'templates', SDN, several books, google) and have not been able to find any inclination of how this 'string' can be customized, although there are several references to the parameters that can be passed in the iview (manually maintained).
Your comments and assistance is much appreciated.
Martin.
UK.

Mira, Sounds like you have done (almost) all the things you need to do....
If you are initiating the 'template' (ad-hoc Web Bex) via the Portal, you will have to change the iview in the Portal as well - under Content admin:
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/iViews/com.sap.ip.bi.bexwebanalyzer
This is 'hard-coded' to call 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN, you will need to change it to use your copy of the template.
If you are not using the Portal, then it may depend on how you are calling the Web Bex template (We set up some stuff in SICF, I think, and a little script which would call http://fgukcbpbbd001:8000/sap/bw/BEx - which would initiate the 3.5 Web Bex (not quite what you are wanting, but may give some clues).
Check the iview first.
Hope this helps.

Change query in Ad-hoc Query Designer

Hello All,
We are using Ad-hoc Query Designer for users to run their reports. now we want them to do their modifications there itself and save as the query. But SAVE and SAVE AS buttons are Inactive.
One more problem with using Ad-hoc Query Designer is when we run reports and want to save the Bookmark, this function is not working (though the Bookmark button is Active).
It would be helpful if you could pinpoint the settings/configurations that I would need to check to get above two things working.
Thanks and Best regards

Text value is not getting displayed in Query designer !!

Dear experts..,

please help me friends....
i have posted in OSS mesage also...i got a reply like...even i didnt understand his reply too...what he is trying to say?
whether can i get text display or not???
can any one help me in this regard???
SAP Reply----
Hello kumar,
After another analysis I have to inform you about general concept of
"compounded characteristics".
A compounded characteristic bounds two characteristics. The technical
name is generated by both technical names of the two characteristics
combined by two underlines "__".
An individual text is only available for one single combination of both
characteristics.
Example:
=======
Compounded characteristic "Famous family name" is a combination of
characteristic "COUNTRY" & "ETHNIC". Technical name: COUNTRY__ETHNIC
Values for Country: USA, Australia
Values for Ethnic: Asian, Latino
Possible value combinations with individual text:
USA & Asian; text: "Ling"
USA & Latino; text: "Sanchez"
Australia & Asian; text: "Chu"
Australia & Latino; text: "Garcia"
(Keep in mind the individual text only valid for the specific
combination.)
In analogy to the issue that you reported, you want to restrict this
compounded characteristic. In the window where you select the restrictedvalue (called Selector) you'll see on the left hand side all available
combinations of the characters with an individual text.
You select family name "Chu" and drag'n'drop it to the right side.
Actually you can only restrict the right compounded characteristic. In
our example you would restrict on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value
"Asian". (When you switch on technical names this comes more clear). Thetext "Chu" is displayed in the context of Selector because you selected
value combination Australia & Asian. But in the end it's just a
placeholder(!) for any combination of characteristic "ETHNIC" and value
#Asian#; in our example it could be USA & Asian "Ling" or Australia &
Asian "Chu").
By leaving the Selector the individual text is gone because now the
context is lost between the two characteristics. You have just a
restriction on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value "Asian". An individualtext can't be displayed because the compounded characteristic is not
specified for this restriction.
You're right, it is confusing when "loosing" the text of a restriction.
But accoring to the concepts of the compounded characteristics it
is a correct behavior.

Hi anandkumar,
I belive this issue can be resolved by changing the Query proprties for the perticular field.
Kindly check the Field proerties in query designer and ensure that Text is enabled ather than Key.
__Field property check up:__Go to query designer->click onn the field-> Right hand side in properties click on display tab-> select Text in drop down menu of Display as tab.
FURTHER CHECK UP: check the master data avaiulability for the perticular info object, if masterdata is not available, do the text data for txt data availability in report level.
Hope this helps you!!

Authorization in BEx Query Designer: "read only" for definitions of variables

Hello,
I`m developing a concept of authorizations for key user who should be able to maintain certain
objects in the query designer. For other objects they should have access “read only”.
The users have authorizations to design new queries. They should be able to use existing variables
(SAP Business Content ( 0*) and customer variables (z*). On this point, I have a problem: in the selection window of the query designer there are only buttons to create, to delete and to edit a variable.
The user must have authorizations for changing, although he just wants to look for the definition
of a variable (if he wants to see their basic or global settings before using the variable).
I can´t find a possibility to switch from “edit” to “read only”.
The users should only see and apply variables from others (SAP, collegues), but he mustn´t be able to
change them.
The user needs the following authorization objects: S_RS_COMP , activity =02 (change), also
authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If I give the users only activity 03 (display),
the user get the message: “display not allowed”.
Is there any possibility to give a key user the authorization to display all variables with
their definitions?
Best regards
Ricarda Seyb

Hi raghukan,
This is may be due to the authorization but still you can check the consistency check for these queries using RSRV.

Where to write IF THEN ELASE statements in BEX Query Designer

Hi All,
I need to write a formula in query designer...
saying that to display the all Quantities in KGs.. Now articles are in Grams and KGs...
So here i need to perform calculation like... if article is in KGs divide by 1, else if article is in Grams divide by 1000.
where can i write this logic to perform calculation ...
Thanks in advance..
ravi.p

hi chetan,
No its not work.. why because i need to convert the unit of measure in Masterdata Attribute values... that means ) ' 0grooss_wt'. this is attribute as a keyfigure of ' 0material' .. this ' 0gross_wt' values has to convert in KGs. at Present ' 0gross_wt' values are in KG and Grams...
I can change these values in update rules by writting Routine.. But I need to convert it in KGS at BEX Query Designer Level..
I need calculate like this
quantity sold * Gross Weight.
here Gross Weight is the formula variable which replacing the values of gross weight...
i tried by creating conversion types in RSUOM t-code. but it works on keyfigures of infocube.. not on attribute values of master data...
is there any solution to solve this Problem...

Results based on From and To value in Bex query designer.

Dear all,
We are using BI7.00. In one of our report which pertains to PM user wants to get the details of number of breakdowns which falls in the value range 0 to 1 hours.
I created a condition which has 2 variables, one is From value and the other is for the To value (since user wants to enter both the limits). I have written a condition that if the breakdown hour is greater than or equal to variable1 and less than or equal to variable2.
Using the above condition if the query is run, i am not getting the desired output. The values avaialble in the report are 0.65,0.78,1.30,7.38,0 etc., when i give 0 to 1 i should get the values 0.65,0.78 and 0 but instead report displays "No valid results".
I changed the condition and selected "Between" variable 1 and variable 2 - yet no change in the query.
To my knowledge i foresee that system is not able to recognize the decimal and hence provides details only based on the whole numbers.
How to get my requirement achieved in the Bex query designer.
Experts suggestion with steps will be very useful to solve my problem.
Regards,
M.M
Edited by: Magesh Magesh on Dec 26, 2008 11:28 AM

Hi Magesh,
I think you could try one more way.
Create a formula inserting your two formula variables for limits .(FV - are ready for input ) .
The formula would return the result as 1 or 0 because it would have boolean condition in it.
You could then place a condition in the query designer to only show all records where the value of the formula key fig is 1.
You formula A would look like
( KF > FV1) AND (KF < FV2) * 1.
And in the condition put A EQ 1.
You could scale the key figures as well and multiply the limits mentioned by the users in FV1 and FV2 if decimals are still not recognized by SAP.(scaling)

Difference between aggregation and calculation tab in BEx Query Designer

HI,
I am using BEx Query Designer for my report, for the key figures in the coloumn area i slected one numeric key figures, in the properties tab i found aggregation tab and calculation tab.
I need to sum up the total values for that particualar coloumn, when i used calculation tab i found to sum all the values for a particular coloumn, then what is the use the aggreagation tab?
I not able to used that Aggregation tab it is showing as a hidden fields...
can any one tell me whats the exact difference between these tabs and when we need to use which tab?
With Regards,
Thanesh Kumar.

Hi Thanesh Kumar,
I moved this thread from forum Data Warehousing to Business Explorer since it is a query related question (as SDN moderator).
I could explain to you the difference between these two tabs.
For "calculation" tab, it changes the display of result and does not change the calculation logic.
It means that, if this key figure is used further in formula, still the original number (without "calculation" tab setting) is used for further formula calculation.
For "aggregation" tab, it changes the real calculation logic.
The system takes the setting as the aggregation rule for records.
The most common aggregation rule is of course summation. If you set to e.g. Average here, the system does the
Average instead of summation when aggregating records. And the Average value will be taken for calculation
in further formulas or other calculations.
For "aggregation" tab, you could only use it for CKF (calculated key figure) or formula and you could not use it for
a basic key figure. That should be the reason why you see it greyed-out.
Regards,
Patricia

Usage of formulas in conditions in BEx Query Designer

Hi guys,
does anybody of you guys know, if it's possible to use the results of formulas in conditions? I tried it, but the result of the query was "No applicable data found", but there are data for the selection.
When I'm defining the condition with the key figure (no restricted or calculated key figure), then the query can be executed.
In my case, I like to define a condition based on a formula result. The value should only be displayed, when the result is greater than 30.
Any ideas or are there any bugy in the BEx Query Designer?
Thanks a lot + best regards,
Clemens

Hi Clemens,
I have created a condition in my own system based on formula and it works perfectly fine. Please check following points in your condition change mode,
1) Condition is marked as Active.
2) In the block "Evaluate condition below for" you will have to select "All characteristics in drilldown Independently". If you have selected combination of characteristics then you will have to maintain proper sequence otherwise your condition will not work.
3) In the next block when you set the condition, click on new, in the first block select your Formula from dropdown and set the proper operator in your case you will have to select "Greater than" in the next column set the value of key figure and just trasnfer it.
Now you are ready to use the condition.
Regards,
Durgesh.
