Query Execution Filter Val. Selection take no effect on query based on AG

Hi,
by setting the 'Query Execution Filter Val. Selection' property in query, we can control the value list when we execute the query. with setting 'Only posted value values for navigation', only the data posted to cube can be listed when you do the selection in the Query Execution selection screen and with setting 'values in master data table', all the date will be listed when you do the selection in the Query Execution selection screen.
1. but for queries based on cube or multi-cube, when i select 'values in master data table' in query defination, still only the posted value is displayed when i do the selection in the Query Execution selection screen. is there anyone know why?
2. for queries based on aggregation level, whatever setting i choose, all the values is displayed when i do the selection in the Query Execution selection screen. how i can do select the posted value for this kind of query?
Many Thanks
Jonathan

I apologize I meant the other link:
I will put the useful text from that link here.
Regarding the query built on aggregation level please note the following
the aggregation level is always a Virtual Provider built other
InfoProvider and hence it does not have the dimension table and hence
the F4 mode D is not supported.
Therefore when aggregation level is used in a query, F4 does not supportD-mode: 'Only Values in InfoProvider' and all master data values are
displayed in the value list.
Reference from the note
984229 F4 modes for input help as of SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI
4. Since other InfoProviders do not have a dimension table, the system
displays only posted values if you select "Only Posted Values for
Navigation". Otherwise, it displays the values from the master data
table.
Hope this should clarify your doubts. Please let me know if you have
questions else please confirm the message at your earliest convenie

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
Praval Trivedi

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

BEx 3.5 - Query Execution Filter F4 Help

Hi,
Working in BEx Analyser 3.5, I'm facing a problem. When the user right-clicks one of the free characteristics and tries to select the filter values, the window that opens up doesn't show any of the the characteristic values. It says "No Entries Found". However, when I try it from my own user ID it shows a few values.
The variable is marked as authorisation relevant. So I first tried to untick the authorisation relevant checkbox, but that didn't work. I also created an authorisation object for the InfoObject, added it to a role and gave * access for that auth object to the role. Didn't work.
Checking out a few other threads on the topic, found that this kind of problem happens during compounding. But in my case, there is no compounding involved.
Would appreciate if anyone could offer help on this
Regards,
Suhas

Hi Raghavendra,
Tried that as well. Actually, to begin with the report had only a user entry variable (i.e. without auth check) and even then it was not working i.e. the window was not showing any of the characteristic values.
So to fix that, I tried to create a variable having an auth check. That didn't solve the problem either.

Suhas

How to create Form page using a query-like filter to select editable rows

Hi!
Does anyone knows how can I create a Tabular Form page to update a table's data, but using the capabilities offered when creating an Interactive Report page (that is, having the "Search Bar" filtering tool at the top of the form)?
I mean, is that possible without customizing the page? I ask this because I still don't have that much APEX knowledge and I would prefer to accomplish this by just using the "Create Page" wizard but without doing too much programming afterwards.
Thanks a lot.

Try this method,
1. Creat a Master Detail Form (Custom Layout and not tabular)
and in the master block select one field.
2. In the HTML layout for master remove the reference for
that field(so that nothing will appear in the master block
of the form).
3. Before the update (in the Pl/SQL event handler select the 'Save' event and write the following code to avoid updating master block).
p_session.set_value(p_block_name => 'MASTER_BLOCK',
p_attribute_name => 'MASTER_ACTION',
p_value => 'None');
doSave;
For eg, let's say
Master is from 'Dept' table and Detail is from 'Emp' table(with join condition Dept.dept_id = Emp.dept_id). In the master remove everything except dept_id field and in the HTML layout for master remove the reference of the dept_id field(you cannot remove this field physically from the master layout). Now the form will look like multirow form rather than master detail form but only problem with this workaround is 'Detail Action' will be present in the detail block.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks

Restriction on F4 values during query execution filter variable

Dear All,
I have a requirement where new Cost Centers will be replaced by Old Cost Centers but master data entry will be there for both.

Selection of Filter Values for Query Execution -Only Values in InfoProvider

I created a query based on an ODS. For the query charateristic 0NFCAT_CODE a variable was created by me. To the time of query execution F4 shows all values available in the charateristic, but only values available in the ODS are expected.
The characteristic 0NFCAT_CODE is a reference characteristic to 0CAT_CODE. 0NFCAT_CODE is compounded with 0NFCAT_TYPE (reference to 0CAT_TYPE) and 0NFCAT_GRP (reference to 0CAT_GRP). All characteristics 0CAT_CODE, 0CAT_TYPE and 0CAT_GRP are set to Query Def. Filter Value Selection = Only Values in InfoProv and Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn = Only Values in InfoProvider.
Could anybody give me a help? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
that is master data of 0NFCAT_CODE.

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

Master data taking Long time in Query Execution

hello Experts
I have an issue while executing a query.
The input parameter for the query is the 0customer variable in which when I try to select the value from the tab Select From the List & goes for single value option or any other option then goes for long time loading the values & then come out with a short dump.
I want to know why this is happening.
Please help me out from this.
Thanks in advance
Neha

Thanks to All
I have checked the info Object - 0Customer.
The following settings are there in Bex Explorer tab ::
Query Def. Filter Value Selection - Values in Master Data Table
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn - Only Posted Values for navigation
Also the Value for display in the object are only 1000. This takes time only in analyzer not in designer.
What I have to do, plz suggest
Thanks

How can I reduce BEx Query execution time

Hi,
I have a question regarding query execution time in BEx.
I have a query that takes 45 mins to 1 hour to execute in BEx analyser. This query is run on a daily basis and hence I am keen to reduce the execution time. Are there any programs or function modules that can help in reducing query execution time?
Thanks and Regards!

Hi Sriprakash,
1.Check if your cube is performance tuned: in the manage cube from RSA1 / performance tab: check if all indexes and statistics are green. Aggregate IDx should as well be.
2.Condense your cubes regularly
3. Evaluate the creation of an aggregate with all characteristic used in the query (RSDDV).
4.Evaluate the creation of a "change run aggregate": based on a standalone NavAttr (without its basic char in the aggr.) but pay attention to the consequent change run when loading master data.
5. Partition (physically) your cubes systematically when possible (RSDCUBE, menu, partitioning)
6. Consider logical partitioning (by year or comp_code or ...) and make use of multiproviders in order to keep targets not too big...
7.Consider creating secondary indexes when reporting on ODS (RSDODS)
8.Check if the query runtime is due the master data read or the infoprovider itself, or the OLAP processor and/or any other cause in tx ST03N
9.Consider improving your master reads by creating customized IDX (BITMAP if possible and depending on your data) on master data table and/or attribute SIDs when using NAvs.
10.Check that your basis team did a good job and have applied the proper DB parameters
11.Last but not least: fine tune your datamodel precisely.
hope this will give you an idea.
Cheers

SSRS Error : Query execution failed for dataset 'dataSet'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) Semantic query execution failed. Invalid object name 'RPT.*********'. (rsSemanticQueryEngineError)

I am new to SSRS and I am trying to migrate reports from 2008 to 2012. As I have so many reports to migrate, I simply got the back up of ReportServer,
ReportServerTempDB, and Encryption Key and restored them to test environment. I made necessary configuration from RS configuration tool. I am able to see the reports now when I browse //hostname/reports. But when I open any particular report I am getting some
error.

Hi Kishore237,
According to your description, you migrated some reports from Reporting Services (SSRS) 2008 to 2012. Now you get error when accessing the reports on SSRS 2012. Right?
In this scenario, did you modify the report data source in database after migration? You can try to open the report in Report Builder or Report designer and check the report dataset. If you can preview the report in Report builder or Report designer,
please try to redeploy the report to Report Server. If it is still not working, please try to restore the database from backup. And for migrating reports, please follow the "Content-Only Migration" in the link below:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Table defination in datatype size can effect on query execution time.

Hello Oracle Guru,
I have one question , suppose I have create one table with more than 100 column
and i tacke every column datatype varchar2(4000).
Actual data are in every column not more than 300 character so in this case
if i execute only select query
so oracle cursor internaly read up to 4000 character one by one
or it read character one by one and in last character ex. 300 it will stop there.
If i reduce varchar2 size 300 instend of 4000 in table defination,
so is it effect on select query execution time ?
Thanks in advance.

When you declare VARCHAR2 column you specify maximum size that can be stored in that column. Database stores actual number of bytes (plus 2 bytes for length). So if yiou insert 300 character string, only 302 bytes will be used (assuming database character set is single byte character set).

BEX problem: F4 help to filter values of F4 value list at query execution

Hi all,
description of the problem we face:
at query execution the selection pop-up appears and "ask" for values. To select those values I try the F4 button and receive a long list of e.g. vendors. (Our vendors are compounded to a special characteristic due to several sources.) To select now several individual values from the list I choose the filter button and try to shorten the list by searching with values of the atributes, here by 0NAME of the vendor. From the result shown I choose one value compounded to a unique value of the special characteristic, there are values for vendors which are the same, but with different compound values and of course different meanings.
When I mark one vendor value shown with his compounded value in front of the row, I expect the compounded value will be transferred to the selection pop-up too, but it won't!!
Only the vendor is transferred, so the result of the query shows more information then wanted.
Any solutions for this?
Thank you in advance

Hi Guido,
I dont know any direct solution to your problem, a workaround is
May be add a variable on the Special characterstics, and ask users to enter the Special character also along with your Vendor Code.
As while selecting the vendor user already know special charater value, then can just enter it in Selection screen and restrict the output.
Thanks

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.

How Can I reduce Query Execution time with use of filter

Dear Experts,
In a query execution is faster when there is no product filter and these products can be a list contaning mare than 300 items.
I am using In operator for that filter.

Maybe if you posted the quer[y][ies] we could get a better idea.
