Query Generator for UDT

Hi All,
We have developed some queries for our User Defined Table which was working fine in SAP B1 2005B PL 41 but giving error after upgrade to SAP 2007B PL10.
Is anything need to change in query on 2007?
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi,
I have not used SAP tables or filter creteria such as '%0'. Even if I take the all field from that particular UDT, it throws error saying Must specify the table. The error is for specific UDT not for all other UDT.

Abhishek

Query generator and query wizard

with the help of query generator and query wizard, we create queries.
one of the application of generating query is that we can use it in formated search.
can plz anyone tell me what are the other possible application of queries created by guery generator and query wizard.
I am peruing training of SAP B1, so if any mistake is done from my side, I am sorry for that.
Thanks in advance.
Punam

Hi Punam.......
Query Generator is purely used for reporting as it uses SQL which is a strong tool of reporting. Moreover you can use the query generator for Formatted Searches as well as its SQL queries may useful in creating SP Transactions Notifications, Stored Procedures, Functions, Triggers etc.....

Difference in Query generated by OBIEE for same report

Hi,
I am using a a report(X) in a filter condition.
I am seeing a peculiar issue with OBIEE server. When i am running a report(X) alone, the query generated is different. But when i am using the same report in filter condition of other report(Y), the same report is generating some other query. The first report(X) is running fine but the second(Y) is not running at all.
Case 1(Report X) Query: The report is breaking into 3 parts for different fact tables and combining the data to give result.
Case 2(Report Y): A single query is being formed and within it is fecthing the data from different fact tables using subqueries.
Case2 is creating a lot of problem as the performance is totally poor.
Any suggesstions??
Thanks
Tataji

Hi, we haven't debugged the application or traced the query against the production server (it's in our customer's office) buy I think there's no difference since the query itself has been tested using sqldeveloper against both servers (XE 11.2 and Enterprise 11.1) and the behavior is consistent. By consistent I mean:
- The query executed via sqldeveloper against Oracle XE 11.2 runs ok and so does the application.
- The query executed via sqldeveloper against Oracle Enterprise 11.1 fails with an ORA-01790 error, and so does the application (exceptions are being logged in the Event Log).
To sum up: the same query runs ok in Oracle XE 11.2 and fails in Oracle Enterprise 11.1.
Additional information: we have tried explicit casting the NULL literals to the corresponding data types (in the UNION ALLs) and the query works fine in both versions. ¿Is there an option in ODAC to tell the query generator to write this explicit castings?
Regarding the DB schema and the LINQ query, I'll be sending them asap.
Regards,
Ernesto.

SQL Statement needed for Query Generator

Dear Experts,
My view has the following three columns.
1, Start Date
2. End Date
3. Balance.
I need an SQL statement to write in query generator, which has to check if EndDate is less than the Current date and balance is above zero. If so, it assumes the last date of the job is already over, outstanding materials not yet been returned. Hence it has to return 'Pending'. If EndDate is greater than current date, it means final date for completion of the process is yet to come. So the task is in progress, hence it has to return 'Progress'. If the balance is Zero, all materials connected with the task have been received either as a FG or as Raw Materials. So it has to return, 'Completed'. I need a singe SQL Statement for this.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anand

Dear Anand,
Try this one:
CASE balance WHEN 0 THEN 'Completed' ELSE CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, EndDate, GetDate()) >= 0 THEN 'Progress' ELSE 'Pending' END END
I have assumed you don't have negative balance. It that is not true, give me the complete case.
Thanks,

Query Generator Problem

Hi, I'm having sounds like silly problem using Query Generator, if I execute this query it does not give me the 'selection list' for Fiscal Year. I'm using v8.8 PL10 but in v2007 it's working fine. If I use other table like OITM w/ fieldX =N'[%0]', its working in v8.8.
SELECT T0.[Code], T0.[Name] FROM [dbo].[@BA_OAMD2] T0 WHERE T0.[U_FisYear] =N'[%0]'
thanks,

Hi, I think the problem has nothing to do w/ the SQL, because if I run it in v2007 it works but not in v8.8.
SELECT T0.[Code], T0.[Name] FROM [dbo].[@BA_OAMD2] T0 WHERE T0.[U_FisYear] =[%0]
creating inner join w/ OFPR and make where condition in OFPR.[Code] is the alternative solution, but I want to use only the code above and let me have 'list selection'
SELECT T0.* FROM [dbo].[@BA_OAMD2] T0
inner join OFPR T1 on T0.[U_FisYear] =T1.Code WHERE T1.[Code] =[%0]
I have noticed that if I use UDT in my SQL w/ variable selection the option for 'list selection' and right click on selection criteria 'List of Items' is not working. I'm using v8.8 PL10, is it a bug?

User defined query parameter in query generator

Hi All,
i am using query generator in SAP to print some records of user defined query. precisely, the details about sales employees are to be printed. now the columns which exist in the database (ie. sales employee code, name, cardcode) etc can be given as a parameter like [%0] and [%1]. but some user defined parameter such as sales commission does not show as such parameter. i want one column as
select T0.doctotal, (T0.doctotal * [%0]) / 100 as brokerage from OINV T0
--where [%0] is some commission percentage that the user will give while running this query
This query gives correct results but it gives the parameter name as 'doctotal' while showing. any idea as to how to handle it properly in SAP?
thanks in advance,
Binita
Edited by: Binita Joshi on Sep 8, 2009 3:35 PM

I sometimes defined a UDT only for getting the appropriate parameter entering window. The table has no data; I used it only for its field names in this window.
(The parameter request can be placed inside a comment and the entered value is used setting an SQL variable like this:
declare @d datetime
/*select t.createdate from ordr t where t.createdate=[%0]*/
set @d=[%0]
This SQL variable can be used later in the real query.)

CAN WE HAVE IF CONDITION IN QUERY GENERATOR

Hi friends,
am, trying to make use of if condition to obtain a set of values in query generator. Its possible to retrieve the required result set using query analyser but not in query generator. am trying to execute the following query
if exists (select owor.u_reactor from owor,oitt where oitt.code=owor.itemcode and owor.u_reactor = 1 and owor.itemcode = '100-100')
begin
                select itt1.u_reactor1 from oitt,itt1 where itt1.father = oitt.code and itt1.father = '100-100'
end
else
if exists (select owor.u_reactor from owor,oitt where oitt.code=owor.itemcode and owor.u_reactor = 2 and owor.itemcode = '100-100')
begin
     select itt1.u_reac_23 from oitt,itt1 where itt1.father = oitt.code and itt1.father = '100-100'
end
else
if exists (select owor.u_reactor from owor,oitt where oitt.code=owor.itemcode and owor.u_reactor = 3 and owor.itemcode = '100-100')
begin
     select itt1.u_reactor4 from oitt,itt1 where itt1.father = oitt.code and itt1.father = '100-100'
end
if it is not possible to write such query in query generator can someone help me with a workaround solution.
Thank u
Vaitheeswaran

Hi,
I dont think Nested IF Statements are allowed in PLD. The reason that u get the result in Query analyser and not in Query Generator is that SAP supports Transact SQL and many SQL Server 2000 functions are not supported.
However there is a work around in Print Layout Designer for using IF condition by having Linked Objects. Kindly see some tutorials regarding Linked fields available on SDN site and think of some other way of implementing this nested IF query.

How to do this in Query Generator?

Dear Experts,
Please check my following query I've written in Query Generator.
/* select from dbo.OCRD t0 */
declare @BP nvarchar(20)
set @BP=/* t0.CardName */ '[%0]'
declare @Dt1 datetime
declare @Dt2 datetime
set @Dt1=/* Start Date */ [%1]
set Dt2=[%2]
select distinct t1.po, Max(t1.supplier) Supplier,Max(t1.process) Process, Max(t1.OrderNo) OrderNo,Max(t1.Date) Date,
isnull((select sum(t2.Quantity) from dbo.ir t2 where t2.po=t1.po and t2.TType<0),0) Issued,
isnull((select sum(t3.Quantity) from dbo.ir t3 where t3.po=t1.po and t3.TType>0),0) Received,
isnull((select sum(t2.Quantity) from dbo.ir t2 where t2.po=t1.po and t2.TType<0),0)-isnull((select sum(t3.Quantity) from dbo.ir t3 where t3.po=t1.po and t3.TType>0),0) Balance
from dbo.ir t1 where t1.Supplier=@BP and (t1.Date>=@Dt1 and t1.Date<=@Dt2) group by t1.po
The Query works well. But for the the lines
set @Dt1=/* Start Date */ [%1]
set Dt2=[%2]
it displays BP Code as the prompt next the text boxes meant for inputting dates. I would like to display 'Start Date' and 'End Date' respectively for Dt1 and Dt2.
Please explain me how to go about it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anand

declare @Dt1 datetime
set @Dt1=/* Start Date */ [%0]
declare @Dt2 datetime
set @Dt2=/* End Date */ [%1]
/* select from dbo.OCRD t0 */
declare @BP nvarchar(20)
set @BP=/* t0.CardName */ '[%2]'
I've changed. When I run the query the input box does not appear, the query shows only a blank table.

Is it too much to ask MS for a simple ad-hoc query tool for end users?

Hello
This is a general MS BI topic and not specific to Power Query, but I couldn't find a more suitable general forum for it.
This posting is the result of the frustration I have with MS BI stack, whereby a simple ad-hoc drag and drop query tool to get the data in a table format (preferably from a relational
data source) is missing, something that other big vendors have, such as SAP Business Objects Universe and the associated tools. The deprecated SSRS Report model and SMDL was the closest MS ever got to this functionality (although that had some limitations
too), which unfortunately is dead now in favour of all sort of "Power" tools that basically can’t deliver the same functionality.
The requirement is pretty simple: provide users with a tool that they can drag and drop fields from different entities in a data model without having to worry about entity relationships and
apply necessary filters and get the data out in Excel or CSV, no fancy (or even simple) aggregation or formatting is required, and users should only see the rows they are authorized to see, i.e. row level security (RLS) of data.
Let’s see what we have at our disposal from MS BI:
From the modeling perspective, we have relational models in the database that support RLS with views, but obviously cannot maintain PK-FK relationships in the database model between views. Other
models are .Net Entity Data model Framework model exposed as OData, and SSAS tabular, SSAS PowerPivot, SSAS multidimensional, which you can find a good comparison of their features here:
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2012/3/4/decisions-powerpivot-ssas-tabular -or-ssas-multidimensional-m.html
From the tools perspective we have:
Power Query on top of a relational database (SQL Server): Can connect to relational databases easily, generated queries are optimal, detects relationships with entities, but only when entities
are tables and have PK-FK relationships enforced in the database. So can’t detect relationships with views and hence can’t enforce RLS, so this is not an option unless users keep joining entities, which is not a desirable option either.
Power Query on top of an OData: Works well except that queries generated for multiple entity expansion are terrible (look here for more details:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7a8b8e52-d3a9-42af-bc52-9d5459c00529/odata-multilevel-expand-query-issue?forum=powerquery). In addition all filtering and projections are done at client side, so even if you want 1 row out of 1 million, all
rows are brought over to Excel before filtered. Overall this results in unacceptable performance even for small sized data.
Power Query on top of a tabular model: Doesn’t support that type of data source yet (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ebcccb5e-7058-4046-917d-3d7fcf60cbdc/tabular-model-as-data-source-for-power-query?forum=powerquery).
Even if it did, tabular models don’t support Many-to-Many relationships out of the box and not sure if there are plans to support tabular models in Direct Query mode in Power Query to take care of RLS.
Excel on top of tabular models or multidimensional models: The tabular model should not be in Direct Query mode and you only get to use PivotTable to query the model. PivotTables are not famous
for generating optimal MDX queries, so performance is not going to be acceptable if you are dealing with large dimensions, especially large junk and degenerate dimensions. You can use drilltrough to get details of a measure, but you have to specify the columns
for a drilltrough action upfront, no flexibility for users to select what they want to see.
PowerPivot on top of relational databases: The query designer cannot detect relationships between views, so users have to perform manual joins, not an option.
PowerPivot on top of a multidimensional or tabular model: The query designer doesn’t generate optimal MDX queries by drag and drop. Especially there doesn’t seem to be a way to add related
attributes of a dimension attribute to the query without cross joins which results in poor performance on large dimensions. Other issues found here
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/marco_russo/archive/2010/08/24/using-ssas-2005-2008-as-powerpivot-data-source-query-designer.aspx. In addition the result set has ugly column names and issues with data types, such as interpreting numeric data types as Text, and
there’s no straight forward way of getting the data from PowerPivot directly to Excel. The user either has to do a copy/paste (which doesn’t work on large datasets) or create a pivot table, bring the measure, and drillthrough the measure to get the details
in table format.
PowerPivot with OData: Treats every entity as a separate table to import, not suitable for our use case.
Report Builder and SSRS on top of relational, multidimensional or tabular model: Given the query designer is the same as PowerPivot, it has similar issues. In addition, there are 4 more steps
from designing a query to generating an Excel or CSV output, not an option.
PowerView: Works against tabular and multidimensional models, but there’s no way of exporting data to Excel sheet. Besides the add-in is not available for Excel 2010.
Good old MS-Access: Link to tables and views through ODBC, create relationships between entities and give each user a copy of that Access database to create their queries, and deal with the
nightmares of updates to the model and distribution of new models to the users! Did I mention Access as an option?
So there you go, 10 options, none of which can deal with a seemingly simple use case sufficiently. At the moment, the best among them appears to be option 6 against a heavily optimized OLAP
cube, and perhaps #3 when/if Power Query support for tabular models in direct query mode arrives. Perhaps I am missing something very obvious, and would like someone to enlighten me here.
Thanks

Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
-bind_at_load
Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
Load resources lazily.
You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iphone/conceptual/iphoneos programmingguide/PerformanceTuning/PerformanceTuning.html
And, higher OS versionsare even worse with Bonjour/mDNSResponder, but might see this...

Decimal places in Query generator

Hi All,
I am observing a weird behavior in Query generator's execution of a simple sql query. the query is :
Select 0.002834
now, in the general settings - display - amounts , I put the decimal value as 4 or 6, then only it prints 0.0028 or 0.002834.
else it prints 0.00 (if the decimal place is 2). it should ideally have nothing to do with the display of amount. any idea?
(the effect is shown only after you change the decimal display, update it and close and reopen the SAP application.
Thanks,
Binita
Edited by: Binita Joshi on Apr 12, 2010 4:03 PM

Hello Binita,
>I have tried converting it to numeric(19,4) and numeric(19,6) but still the result was same.
Check your decimal places settings in
\Administration\System Initialization\General Settings\Display tab
Check the following values:
- Units (For meaurement)
- Decimals in Query
Now let' s say,
- Unit set to 6 decimal places
- Decimals in Query set to 2
run the following query in query generator:
select cast(0.000245 as decimal(19,6))
result will be
0.00
run the same query as FMS on item master data in any measurement field (lenght)
select cast(0.000245 as decimal(19,6))
result will be
0.000245
Now set the - Decimals in Query set to 6 on \Administration\System Initialization\General Settings\Display tab
run the following query in query generator:
select cast(0.000245 as decimal(19,6))
result will be
0.000245
This is a normal habit of SAP B1 rounding engine / displaying engine.

How to find out the Queries Generated for a particular ods?

Hi all,
There are atleast 10 queries generated for a Particular ODs zyyyyy. I would like to know what are the queries generated for a particular ods.
I have used the where use list of the ods. But it did not displayed the queries generated for that ods.
I have looked at the bex query for that ods but cant find any query being generated on that ods??
Is there any way to find out what are the queries generated for a particular ods?

CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE IDOC not getting generated for BUS_TRANS_MSG BDOC

Hello Experts,
In our project, we have a requirement to send custom fields in the BUS_TRANS_MSG to external system through XIF. The model of BDOC BUS_TRANS_MSG triggering IDOC CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M02 perfectly worked in the development system. We wanted to try the custom field extension in the Sandbox. So as per OSS note 916093, we have extended E101_CRMXIF_CUSTOMER_H segments with custom fields and tried generating the interfaces in BDFG transaction. While generation with IDOC CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M we got an error message "Incompatible change to complex data type
type E101CRMXIF_ISU_PRA1_X". So went about creating a custom IDOC ZZ_CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M02 for message CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE. Even for this config, the IDOC is not getting generated for the BDOCs. Lastly, configured the IDOC ZZ_CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M02 to a custom function module ZZ_BDFG_IDOC_TEST_FM. The FM got generated and activated, even then the IDOC is not generated for the BDOC.
SMOEAC config in Sandbox looks the same as the Development system. We do not the reason why IDOC is not getting generated and also the reason for error in BDFG while generating the interfaces after adding custom fields to CUSTOMER_H segment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
