Query regarding Logical Database reports

Hi,
I have started doing pgm on Logical Database report using VBAK,VBAP and MARA. I took VBAK as the root node and VBAP& MARA as subnodes. The actual requirement is:- I am trying to place these tables in Application server for perfromance issue using Logical database. Based on sales, the items need to be be displayed. And based on Items, the material data should be displayed.So root node here is VBAK.
I have created these 3 nodes in SE36 tx.code. when I go back to se36 main screen and under "subobjects" ,I've selected "selections". I got a dialog box saying that "Nodes for which free selections are to be made". I have clicked on the radio buttons.And then clicked on "transfer" . I am getting a runtime error . Please let me know the solution.
Please do send me the actual process to go on with logical database reporting.

Hello
Logically speaking, a company code can have more than one FSV as long as they share the same chart of accounts.
When COA is common, the FSV pattern can be designed seperatly to serve the purpose of varied reporting.
The dump you are getting is a temporary snag. Take a screen shot from SM54 after you execute the report and pass it to BASIS for analysis. They would fix that.

Regarding Query and Logical database

Hi All,
I have one requirement to create a report which gives all selection fields of a query.I got the selection fields defined in the query,but some extra selection fields are coming from logical database,which query uses.These extra fields count is different for different queries using same logical data base.Please suggest me a solution.

Shibin

Hi Jogeswara,
Thanks for your inputs.
But my question is, how can I filter the data which is being fetched by standard logical database. I cannot go inside the std. LDB and change internal tables of it. I tried coding in extras, but I think it works only if we want to add additional fields in output.
At present, we are considering the option of creating a z LDB where we copy. std. LDB and also add the reqd. table which is not present in LDB.
Is there any other option?
Please provide your valuable inputs.

Addtional Structure on InfoSet query of Logical database

Hi Experts,
We have a logical database on which we are supposed to create an InfoSet query. We could create the InfoSet query and also the query on top of it.
We have a requirement to add addtional fiels which are not part of the logical database. The addtional fields are in a strucuture. I added the strucuture using the Extras option, but I need help on how to extract data from this strucuture.
Can you please help me with a sample code:
Logical Database in question is - FTI_TR_PERIODS
Structure to be included is - VTG_IRATE_STRUCTURE
Field in structure to be included is - PKOND, SKOART
As this is a structure we cannot right a select statement, and I am very new to abap and require help on how to extract data from the structure.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Ravi

ABAP query using logical database KDF is not populating custom fields

Hi Experts ,
I created two following queries
1.       VENDORCATKDF – uses KDF logical database
2.       VENDORCATLFA1 – uses table = LFA1
I’m pulling the same information in both queries:
·         Vendor Number
·         Country
·         Vendor Name
·         Vendor Category (custom fields added to LFA1)
The results for the query that uses the logical database KDF is incorrect. It doesn’t pull in the flag on the custom field LFA1-ZMRO.   Even though the logical database KDF is made up of the table LFA1 and has these fields.
Is there something that can be done – so that all of these “custom” category fields under LFA1 (such as LFA1-ZZMRO) – get pulled into queries – when we use the logical database KDF ?

Hi,
I have got the error removed by ensuring that fields from one table are a part of one line ( taking help of ruler) only. But the underlying problem remains, the output is not ALV but List output.
I do not think having additional fields in the query is reason for this.
Is it bcoz iI am adjusting the output length of columns to ensure no hierarchical error ?
Can we not have a query using LDB which is shown as SAP List?

Regarding Logical database and select statement..

Hi
Experts.
i would like to know the diff b/w logical data base & select statement while using report.
wt is the use of logical databases in R/3. is there   any   advantage used in the reports.
Thanks & Regards..
Spandana.

Dear Spandana,
Go through the below description of LDB. I hope you wil get a fair amount of idea.
SAP comes loaded with all the extras. Among the extras that are most helpful to IT managers are all the access routines needed to pull any business object that managers can think of out of SAP databases. However, SAP has not thought of everything where your particular applications are concerned. SAP organizes its standard database tables to service business units based on conventional business applications. Itu2019s likely your business requires something new, perhaps even something exotic. In that case, you will need to create a new database, using information from different places. Basically, you need a logical database. You need to create a virtual business data object repository consisting of a new kind of record or table that suits your purposes. In addition, the repository should be composed of information that is actually stored in a number of different locations, none of them necessarily logically associated with one another. Letu2019s take a closer look at creating logical databases.
A case for a logical database
Suppose my company manufactures widgets of the most obscure variety, and they are components of other widgets. I sell my widgets as raw material for the more sophisticated widgets built by others, but in some cases I actually partner with other manufacturers in creating yet another class of widget. Now, in my world, I consequently have customers who are also partners. I sell to them and I partner with them in manufacturing and distribution. Also, I need an application that uses both of these dual-use relationships.
Essentially, I have a customer database and a partner database. Neither contains records that are structured to contain the identifying particulars of the other. Thus, I need a hybrid database that gives me tables detailing these hybrid relationships. What can I do? I can go the long way around and write a new database, pulling information from both and creating new objects with a customized program that I write by hand. However, this process is cumbersome and contains maintenance issues. On the other hand, I can use SAPu2019s logical database facility, create my logical database in a couple of minutes, and have no maintenance issues at all.
Logical database structures
There are three defining entities in an SAP logical database. You must be clear on all three in order to create and use one.
u2022     Table structure: Your logical database includes data from specified tables in SAP. There is a hierarchy among these tables defined by their foreign keys (all known to SAP), and you are going to define a customized relationship between select tables. This structure is unique and must be defined and saved.
u2022     Data selection: You may not want or need every item in the referenced tables that contributes to your customized database. There is a selection screen that permits you to pick and choose.
u2022     Database access programming: Once youu2019ve defined your logical database, SAP will generate the access subroutines needed to pull the data in the way you want it pulled.
Creating your own logical database
ABAP/4 (Advanced Business Application Programming language, version 4) is the language created by SAP for implementation and customization of its R/3 system. ABAP/4 comes loaded with many predefined logical databases that can construct and table just about any conventional business objects you might need in any canned SAP application. However, you can also create your own logical databases to construct any custom objects you care to define, as your application requires in ABAP/4. Hereu2019s a step-by-step guide:
1.     Call up transaction SLDB (or transaction SE36). The path you want is Tools | ABAP Workbench | Development | Programming Environment | Logical Databases. This screen is called Logical Database Builder.
2.     Enter an appropriate name in the logical database name field. You have three options on this screen: Create, Display, and Change. Choose Create.
3.     Youu2019ll be prompted for a short text description of your new logical database. Enter one. Youu2019ll then be prompted to specify a development class.
4.     Now comes the fun part! You must specify a root node, or a parent table, as the basis of your logical database structure. You can now place subsequent tables under the root table as needed to assemble the data object you want. You can access this tree from this point forward, to add additional tables, by selecting that root node and following the path Edit | Node | Create. Once youu2019ve saved the structure you define in this step, the system will generate the programming necessary to access your logical database. The best part is you donu2019t have to write a single line of code.
Watch out!
The use of very large tables will degrade the performance of a logical database, so be aware of that trade-off. Remember that some tables in SAP are very complex, so they will be problematic in any user-defined logical database.
Declaring a logical database
Hereu2019s another surprising feature of logical databases: You do not assign them in your ABAP/4 Code. Instead, the system requires that you specify logical databases as attributes. So when you are creating a report, have your logical database identifier (the name you gave it) on hand when you are defining its attributes on the Program Attributes screen. The Attributes section of the screen (the lower half) will include a Logical database field, where you can declare your logical database.
Logical databases for increasing efficiency
Why else would you want to create a logical database? Consider that the logical databases already available to you begin with a root node and proceed downward from there. If the data object you wish to construct consists of items that are all below the root node, you can use an existing logical database program to extract the data, then trim away what you donu2019t want using SELECT statementsu2014or you can increase the speed of the logical database program considerably by redefining the logical database for your object and starting with a table down in the chain. Either way, youu2019ll eliminate a great deal of overhead.

To make selection period mandatory in Logical Database Report

Hi All,
My report is using customized HR Report Category with selection period as Key Date.
My requirement is to make Key Date as mandatory field and with default value as sydatum.
Pls help .
Regards,
Nibha

Hello,
Although the selection screen will appear from the logical database you define, you can add your validation check at the event 'At selection-screen' to check if particular field is initial or not and give proper error message.
Other way would be at the initialisation event use the following :
loop at screen.
if screen-name = 'P_NAME'.
screen-input = '1'.
endif.
modify screen.
endloop.
Also at initialisation
s_date = sy-datum.

SAP / ABAP Query - using logical database

Hi ,
We have a mandate to implement SAP Query using only Logical Databases (LDB ) .
We understand that there are several issues using this approach .
1 ) Paralled tables in MM need to be displayed on separate lines .
2 ) Statistics based on fields from 2 different tables cannot be produced eg: EKPO ( PO Number ) and EKKN . (Cost Center )
Please share your experiences .
Thank you in advance .
Kishore
Kishore

Adeel,
I do appreciate your experience and respect you for knowledge on SAP Query.
Joining tables seem simple to IT experts but not so for end users. SAP Query is an end-user tool and users seem to need a simple user-friend, drag-and-drop solution to extract information using SAP Query based on a pre-defined infoset. Various SAP conferences have been advocating the use of SAP delivered Logical Databses to create infosets in order to harness the various advantages of LDBs.
In MM there are several LDBs (e.g. ELM, EBM etc) to create queries on EKPO and EKKN. The problem arises when you use the same LDB to extract information from more than the above two tables e.g. EKPO, EKET, EKKN and EKBE. SAP expects you to display fields on multiple lines and also does not allow producing statistics based on fields from two parallel tables say EKKN and EKBE. Moreover, multi-line reports cannot be produced in the ALV/SLV format.
We are also looking for best practise solutions in providing SAP Query to MM or FI users based on SAP delivered Logical Databases.

Query using logical database

Hi,
There is one query which is using logical database PNM. I have got one requirement to add one field in selection screen to filter the output. The field which is required to be displayed in selection screen to filter the data is from table mkal which is not present in logical database. Hence my question is, is it possible to add field from table which is not present in logical database? IF yes, please specify the procedure.

Hi Jogeswara,
Thanks for your inputs.
But my question is, how can I filter the data which is being fetched by standard logical database. I cannot go inside the std. LDB and change internal tables of it. I tried coding in extras, but I think it works only if we want to add additional fields in output.

Query: PNP Logical Database Screen

Hi,
My requirement is to default some values in the SORT ORDER button of the PNP screen.
I can do that by creating a variant and attaching it to the Tcode, but is there any other way to do it.
Also, I need to add couple of new values to that list.
Please suggest how to achieve it.
Helpful replies will be rewarded.
Regards,
Amit

Amit,
you need to use Report categories as a solution to the issues mentioned in your mail.
You can access report category by going to attributes of your HR report which is using PNP logical database.
You will find a button in 'Attributes' dialog screen for HR Report Categories which will enable you to add new fields, default the values etc.
Reward points , if helpful.

Change output of abap logical database report

Hello
I have an abap report that is using a logical database to display some fields.My problem is that i have to change it and display more fields for output ,how can i control this?
Thank you

Hi,
We need to add the required (additional) fields to the internal table structure, fill the fields with relevant data and display them on the screen. How is the output fields related to using a LDB..?
Can you explain me a little bit more on the below stmt?
" I have an abap report that is using a logical database to display some fields."
I am not clear in understanding the relation b/w 'using LDB' and 'fields in output'. I dont think the fields displayed in the output screen will be restricted while using a LDB. Pls correct me if i understood wrong.
Thanks,
teja.

Re: Query for logical database

Hi Experts,
can anybody giveme any link of step-by-step how to create a query from sq03,sq02,sq01 with logical database for CIK.
if anybody have done the query for logical databse for CIK give me ur input how to create.
Thanks in advance,
KK.

Hi
Go to SQ01 -- Enviornment --Query area - select Standard area or global as you require.
Then go to Enviornment - Infoset - search for the existing infoset if available as per your requirement or create an infoset here.
Write the name of Infoset and click on create . Fill all the required field like name , logical database - CIK, press enter it will populate the structure of logical database CIK, you may include /exclude here the nodes, or keep it as it is.
And press enter.
Now you have to create Field group and the fields inside the each group.
You may create thefield group by clicking the create icone in the right hand side of teh screen and may drag the then fields by double clicking inside the group.
Please mainatin sequence as per the characteristic of the table, like first select masterdata then transactuional!
Save it. It will ask you for package, but click on local object and save it.
Go back , it will prompt for generate infoset, say yes.
Now your new infoset is coming among other infosets. (it is advisable to search for the existing infoset if available to avoide inconsistency in infosets).
Now select your infoset and assign this to user groups by clicking the tab for this, you need to select user groups for this infoset here, who will be authorised to use this query.You need to take care about the user group, as this will allow you to see your infoset at the time of query generation / display.
Save it and go back and again go back.Cross check that you are in standard query area (as selected in first step)
Now give the query name and click on create. It will show you your infoset , select that.
It will propmt you the next screen for name , no.of columns required, output formats etc.
Fill as required and go to basic list now you will have screen as SQVI and have to select your selection field and output filed. After selecting the required fileds save it and execute this .
Cheers
Mukta
