Query Result Sizes Using LiveOffice

I'd like to get a community response on this one:
Can viewers of this post who have LiveOffice product experience answer a question for me? I am using the Universe Query functionality to place data into Excel. The result size is roughly 4500 rows by 6 columns of data. If I remove a condition in the query to expand the results LiveOffice fails with this error:
Failed to get the document information. (LO 26315) Maximum character output size limit reached. Contact your BusinessObjects administrator. (Error: ERR_WIS_30272)(6315)
After checking in Desktop Intelligence...I found the result size of the failed query to be just under 10,000 rows.
I've been using LiveOffice for some time now, but this is the first instance where I have attempted to run a large amount of data into Excel. I wouldn't call 10,000 rows a lot, but it is a lot more than I have done in the past.
Can users of LiveOffice tell me the largest row result they have thrown into Excel using LiveOffice? It can be with a report part or straight query. I tried to provide with a webi report part and got the same failure.
I've logged this with SAP Support and they're baffled so far...

Hi Gregg,
what's the data source behind your universe? Can it be the case that somewhere in your results exists a field that holds more than 32K. As far as I know Excel allows 32 K per cell.

Query Result Filtered using User Roles SCSM 2012 R2 RU2

Hi,
I have a Query Result setup in a Request Offering that shows the list of Printers using the Printer CI. We have different sites with printers that start with the site location like MTL. There are no filters in the Query Result. What i did is create a Group
for each site that has the rule "start with" MTL (other groups have other 3 letter prefix). Then i created a user role for each group and only selected the Printer group for the site and i associated the User Role with our AD Site group called MTL-User.
i did this for each site. Now when i checked the Request Offering at first, with a user that is part of MTL-User group, it showed only the list of printers that started with MTL. Now today i came to check again and the same user is seeing all the printers
and not just the ones that start with MTL.
The User Role i made was based on the Read-Only Operator. I just dont know what the problem is

Thanks for that link. I had thought of something like that but i found it came to the same thing as just using the filter field that is already available when using a Query Result. I retried using User Roles and figured out that the problem is that my test
user is only part of the MTL-USER group so when i logged in with him into the portal (cireson Portal btw) i would see the proper result. If i logged in with a actual user that is also part of other groups besides MTL-Users, they see all the printers no matter
which AD group i define in the User Role.
So what i figured was that my group is not getting applied as the filter to the query Result and that the Member section in the User role is only to say who can see the Query result list. But then i have my test user for which this setup works...so im confused
on what exactly is overriding the results.

No Query Result After Using Hierarchy Node Variable (Customer Exit)

Hi
I have problem at my query. It doesn't show anything in BEx but when i check the data in BW using tcode LISTCUBE i can display the data.
This problem happen when i change the restrictions for one of characteristic in filter value.
The characteristic is custom Infoobject (ZCPARTNER), which like Infoobject Partner Unit.
Previously I set the restriction with constant value, example : A500,A700,A710,A720,A730,A740 and it worked before.
But when I change it using hierarchy node variable (customer exit), this problem is arise.
Here is my code at ZXRSRU01
WHEN 'ZHIEPART'. --> hierarchy node variable
   BREAK-POINT.
    IF i_step = 2.
    Read from ZZCONSGR information
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
         WHERE vnam = 'ZZCONSGR' OR vnam = 'ZOCONSGR'. --> read input value from consolidation group variable
        CLEAR l_s_range.
        CLEAR l_s_range-low.
        IF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000030000'
           OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010130'.
          l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMDI'.
          l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.
        ELSEIF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000040000'
           OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010160'.
          l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMPI'.
          l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.
        ENDIF.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
        EXIT.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
Here the hierarchy in BW system:
XXX Cons Unit Hierarchy Set; InfoObject ; Node Name
- XXX Cons Unit Hierarchy Set; 0HIER_NODE; ZBUNITALL
- XXX DownStream ... ; OHIER_NODE; MEZBUNITMDI
     - ME/A730; 0CS_UNIT; MEA730
     - ME/A740; 0CS_UNIT; MEA740
- XXX Power ; OHIER_NODE; MEZBUNITMPI
    - ME A800 - A808; OHIER_NODE; MEZBUNITMPI
    - PT Mitra xxx; 0CS_UNIT; MEA820
Anyone can help my problem? Thank you

Hi Satria,
Instead of following code ---
CLEAR l_s_range-low.
IF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000030000'
OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010130'.
l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMDI'.
l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.
ELSEIF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000040000'
OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010160'.
l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMPI'.
l_s_range-high = '0HIER_NODE'.
ENDIF.
try this ---
IF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000030000'
OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010130'.
l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMDI'.
ELSEIF loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000040000'
OR loc_var_range-low EQ '000000000000010160'.
l_s_range-low = 'MEZBUNITMPI'.
ENDIF.
Note : whenver the option is EQ, the system takes only low value.

Serializing database query results for use as dataproviders

I am executing my database queries in Java and passing my results to flex and creating a chart or datagrid based on the results. The problem is, I don't know how to code this in Java in a way that flex would understand it. For instance, Flex wants:
<mx:DataGrid id="dg" dataProvider="{myArray}">
<mx:columns>
         <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="column1" />
         <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="column2" />
          
         <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="columnN" />
      </mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
I need to create this table-like array in Java and have it readable as a dataprovider by flex. I know about ArrayCollections and Java ArrayLists can be nicely converted to this in Flex, but I just don't know how to create them with a column1, column2, etc. when I don't know from query to query how many columns will be in my results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You don't know in advanced the columns that your queries will return?
Or the number of records?
Sincerely,
Michael

Getting range of query result in 2004s

Hi,
I'm trying to determine range of a result area in a 2004s query using the following code :
Dim myrange As Range
Set myrange = Run("BEXAnalyzer.xla!SAPBEXgetResultRangeByID", "ZSKMILESTONESTEST")
I have also tried this using the technical ID of the query as in RZSCOMPDIR.
This causes a VB error and stops inside the SAPBEXgetResultRangeByID function and says "Object Variable or with block not set" on this line :
Set SAPBEXgetResultRangeByID = pAddin.SAPBEXgetResultRangeByID(ActiveWorkbook.Name, queryID, charName)
Can anyone help ?
Cheers
Sue

Hi Sue,
I know nothing about 2004s. But, I know something about SAPBEXgetResultRangeByID.
The function's definition (from Object Browser) is:
Function SAPBEXgetResultRangeByID(ByVal queryID As String, Optional ByVal charName As String) As Range
Here are two examples that work for me ...
'This example locates query result Area using local query ID
Sub testResultRangeByID1()
Dim resultArea As Range, queryID As String
    queryID = "SAPBEXq0001"
    Set resultArea = Run("SAPBEX.xla!SAPBEXgetResultRangeByID", queryID)
    Application.Goto reference:=resultArea
End Sub
'This example locates a characteristic's filter cell
'using local query ID and technical name of characteristic
Sub testResultRangeByID2()
Dim resultArea As Range, queryID As String
    queryID = "SAPBEXq0001"
    Set resultArea = Run("SAPBEX.xla!SAPBEXgetResultRangeByID", queryID, "0SHIP_TO")
    Application.Goto reference:=resultArea
End Sub
Hope this helps.

Retrieving BEx Query Results Area for use in Excel formulas

Hello,
I run BEx queries in workbooks and then use Excel formulas ( mostly VLOOKUP(LookupValue, ResultsArea, ColumnReturned,) ) to retrieve certain information from the query ResultsArea.
****Problem:
Depending on the query parameters, the query "Results Area" is larger or smaller.
****Non-optimal solution:
One way to define the ever changing Excel range occupied by the Results Area is to create an Excel name as:
QueryRange = OFFSET(QueryFirstCell,,,COUNTA(OFFSET(Sheet1!$A:$A,,COLUMN(QueryFirstCell)-1,,)),COUNTA(OFFSET(Sheet1!$1:$1,ROW(QueryFirstCell)-1,,,)))
Then, the only input required is the top-left cell of the Results Area, which stays the same (unless the query definition changes).
****Question
What is the best way to refer to an ever-changing query Results Area in an Excel formula?
Thank you!
Louis

It is actually much easier than that.
Use a VBA statement like the following:
Set RptRng = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion
This will retrieve the data in the Results Area, no matter what the size is.
Hope this helps...

Querying character column sizes using DatabaseMetadata

Hi,
In a UTF-8 database, I've created two testing tables, one that uses byte length semantics (BLS) for its CHAR and VARCHAR2 columns, and one using character length semantics (CLS). If I use the standard JDBC DatabaseMetdata.getColumns() query, the size of the CLS columns is reported as 4 times that of the BLS columns. I don't believe this is the desired behaviour for the JDBC drivers.
Regardless, does anyone know a way to accurately determine (preferably using standard JDBC methods) the size of a CHAR or VARCHAR column in characters across different database configurations? I need this to compare column lengths in a ASCII and UTF8 database.
I'm using the standalone JDBC drivers v9.2.0.3 for JDK1.4 (odjbc.jar) running aginst Oracle 9.2.0.0.
The following code, which contains some DDL to create sample tables, can be used to dump the column metadata returned by Oracle's database drivers.
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
The following script can be used to create two test tables, the first with
byte-size columns, and the second with character-size columns.

TMP_CHAR CHAR(200 BYTE),

How to estimate the size of query results

i have 3 tables
table_h : 10,000 records and 50columns
table_l : 13,000 records and 75 columns
table_ld : 25,000 records and 120 columns
i wrote a query to fetch data based on the 3 tables, and fetching 25,00 records.
ie ( 5 coulms from table_h, 12 coulmns from table_l and 120 columns from table_ld)
how i have to get the size of this query results.

What "size" are we talking about here? There are many different ways to interpret that-- it could be the size of the memory buffer that would be allocated on the client. It could be the size that would be required to store the result in a table in the database. It could be something else. But the answer may differ substantially.
Regardless, it's probably going to be something like (number of rows) * (sum of sizes of each column). But the size required for each column is a bit variable
- Client applications, in general, are going to allocate a memory buffer based on the maximum size of the column (LOB and LONG columns excepted). So if you declare a VARCHAR2(4000) but only store 1 byte in that column, most client applications are going to allocate 4k for that column for each row. It might be even worse than that-- if the client application happens to treat character data as Unicode, it probably uses the UTF-16 encoding in memory, which means allocating 2 bytes for every byte in the database (assuming the database character set supports single-byte characters primarily).
- The Oracle database, on the other hand, is not going to allocate more disk than is actually required to encode variable width data. So the 1 byte column only requires 1 byte of storage (plus a length). That's great for storage efficiency, but that makes computing the actual size a bit more complicated because you now need to know the actual size of data stored in each row (or at least the statistical distribution) rather than the table definition.

Hello,
This question looks like it is really for the Oracle RDBMS and not for Berkeley DB. In BDB, we do not have a notion of tablespace size. What database product are you using?

By using <TH> instead of <TD> on your header row
you can then specify different font type and size in your CSS code.
th{

I'm guessing this is your header?

If so, change these <TD> to <TH>

<th width="160">Ks Number</th>

HOWTO: Writing Out XML Query Results of Any Size in Java with XML SQL Utility

A customer mailed me asking for an example of how to use our XML SQL Utility to write out query results for tons of query result rows.
With tons of data, the getXMLDOM() and getXMLString() methods are not really appropriate due to the size.
The XML SQL Utility offers a getXMLSAX() method that streams SAX2 events to report the data being queried. This is the approach we can use to handle data of any size.
It dawned on me today that by putting together the XML SQL Utilities getXMLSAX() routine, and the oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLSAXPrintDriver SAX2 ContentHandler, we can effectively stream out data of any length to an appropriate writer.
Here's a code example to get the point across:
package test;
import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Driver;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys;
import oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLException;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLOutput;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLSAXPrintDriver;
import oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery;
public class Example {
private static final String QUERY = "select * from emp";
public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
      Connection conn = getConnection();
      OracleXMLQuery q = new OracleXMLQuery(getConnection(),QUERY);
      // Any printwriter will do. Here's we're output to standard out.
      PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(new BufferedOutputStream(System.out));
      // This is a SAX2 Content Handler used by the Oracle XSLT Engine
      // to serialize a stream of sax2 events as an XML document
      // We'll use it to serialize the sax2 events from the XML SQL Utility
      // out as an XML document.
      XSLSAXPrintDriver ch = new XSLSAXPrintDriver(output, outputOptions());
      // This asks XML SQL Utility to fire sax events for the data
      // being fetched instead of creating DOM nodes or returning text.
      // By using the XSLSAXPrintDriver content handler, these events
      // get handled by writing them directly to the output stream
      q.getXMLSAX(ch);
      ch.flush();
      q.close();
      conn.close();
private static XSLOutput outputOptions() throws XSLException {
    XSLOutput x = new XSLOutput();
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
    props.put(OutputKeys.INDENT,"yes"); // Set to "no" for non-indented
    x.setProps(props);
    return x;
public static Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
    String username = "scott";
    String password = "tiger";

    return DriverManager.getConnection(thinConn,username,password);

Hi Uber,
This is a known issue that error occurs when running report "Count of instances of specific software registered with Add or Remove Programs" due to non-printable characters for XML. Based on internal research, the hotfix for this issue will be
included in the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1.
As a workaround, you can remove the nonprintable character populated into the report parameter by referring to the following KB article:

Hope this helps.

Sending email using PL/SQL based on a query result

Hello all,
I want to create a procedure using PL/SQL, based on a query result.Here is the scenario:
I have multiple tables in Target and Source databases that I want to compare(not the whole table but queries on these tables) and if they differ, I want to shoot an email. I have some ideas how to implement this but not sure whether it is the best approach.
select Acct_id, total from SourceTableA
minus
select Acct_id, total from TargetTableA
select Acct_id, sum from SourceTableB
minus
select Acct_id, sum from TargetTableB
If the result of any of above queries > 0 then I want to shoot an email and want to repeat this procedure in the morning every day.
I know how to implement send_mail procedure using UTL_SMTP package and how to schedule tha job by dbms_job package. But I am not sure how to implement the result of minus query. In case if minus > 0 then I also want to send the name of tables in the email message where source and target tables are not same. Should i use cursor, variable or insert the result in a new table? any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Actually these queries are the part of our daily testing that we run everyday manually(after the scheduled ETL load) to see if there are any discrepencies between our datawarehouse tables and source tables. So instead of running these queries manually everyday we want to schedula a procedure that will shoot an email in case of any discrepency and indicate which tables have problems.

How to use one query results in another query

hi,
in help.sap I have founded that using variable type replacement path I can use one query results in another query. It is wrote there that I have to choose query name results I want to get in variable definition but I do not know where.
How I can do this?
Result I want to get is:
In one query I have material prices in another material quantities. I want to calculate inventory value (price * quantity). Moreover prices are on plant level, quantities on storage type level. Plant is atribute of storage type.
Can I do this?
Regards,
Andrzej

Hi Andrzej,
please check out this thread: Set parameters values depending on other parameters
I had a discussion about query results as input for another query in there.
For creating a workbook, just click on the save button after you ran your query in the bex.

Can we use Result from another query in Webi using Bex uery universe?

Hi,
Can we use Result from another query filter option in Webi to create a report using a Bex Query universe?
I need to create a report using two universes, one is Bex Query Universe and the other is Orcle universe. I have two queries, one is using Oracle universe; the other using Bex Query universe. I need to pass the Oracle data from the Oracle query to the Bex Query query to get the matched data from SAP Bex query.
I used Result from another query in the query filter panel for the query using Bex query universe. But I got an error saying that 'A filter contains a wrong value. you cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007). The data used in the filter on both sides are the same. they are char.
I have tested by using two queries from the same Bex query universe to see if the Result from another query filter option works. And I got the same error.
Has anyone run into the same issue and if this is possible and what should be the solution?
Thanks in advance!

In that situation:
Create two queries : Oracle and BW query.
@ Report:
As you have to see result set from both the Dataproviders, correct? To achieve thise one must have common dimension objects to merge them at report and use Objects those are coming from both queries to use them in single Table/Report.
Unless you don't use Merge Dimensions, you don't get a chane to use both queries objects in single Table/Report. (It will give tooltip saying: You can't drop here -- Incompatable Objects)
In case, if you don't have common dimensions, change object definitions to Detail objects, for those required.
Hope it helps you.
Thank You!!
