Query using several Universes

Hi,
I made a query taking objects from three several Universes. When I displayed results it happens something very strange for me. The three objects of one Universe display data and the rest no data, I can read the message #SINCDATA in each row. I have all data in one report. I'm using WEBI XI and I can't access to BOXI Administrator. If there is a problem to fix, I have to tell him. But I don't know what is happening now, so I can't tell anything.
Why I see the message #SINCDATA?
Thanks.

Hi,
As i am assuming you have performed Synchronisation data from three different universes.
Now u are getting the correct data from a single universe and blank data for the other two universes.
As you are trying to take data from three different universes in a single report webi cannot relate data
from one universe to the other two universes.
To establish a relatinship between all these three universes you must have a common object like for
example employee id in universes like employee and department.
So here as per your universes you need to merge the two common objects from the different universes.
For this you need to perform SYNCHRONISATION OF DATA USING MERGE DIMENSION.
Hope this helps.

No Dashboard Design Query on OLAP Universe BO 4.0

Hi all,
the goal would be to create a Dashboard Design Query on a OLAP MSS Analysis Services Universe (UNX).
These are steps we follow to create the Universe (UNX) with IDT on BO 4.0.
1.) Create the Project
2.) Create the OLAP connection on OLAP Cube of MSS Analysis Services
3.) Publish the OLAP connection
4.) Create a Business Layer on OLAP Connection
5.) Publish the Business Layer into the Repository
Using that universe ( UNX ) with Infoview we have no problem to create a WeBi document.
Using Dashboard Design Version 6.0.0.0 Build: 14,0,2,594 to create a query using that Universe ( OLAP UNX ), the system doesn't list that Universe. It seems that it doesn't exist!!!
Someone has solved this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Luca Fatigati.

Hi Nikhil,
I have the same setup as mentioned by Luca Fatigati in previous post.
Trying to create Dashboard Design Query on a OLAP MSS Analysis Services Universe (UNX). But I am not able to .
Also I tried creating Explore on top of my UNX whcih is created on MSS Analysis Services Cube , ( OLAP UNX) , I am not able to see my UNX in Explore also .
Can you please let me know if this is not supported here as well . ?

Using several global structures in one query?

Hello Together,
I want to use several global structures in a query and group them for instance in the rows. I have tried it out, and it does not seem to be possible.
Any ideas- can I overgo this problem somehow?
Thanks,
Elisabeth

Using several data connections in one SSIS data source?

I am loading data from several SQL Server 2012 databases into a datamart. Currently, I am simply using sql sources and destinations for that. However, some of the queries require JOINs between the source databases. Therefore I currently refer to the databases
within the command text of the sql source, e.g.
SELECT t1.Field, t2.Field
FROM [server1].[db1].[dbo].[table1] t1
JOIN [server1].[db2].[dbo].[table1] t2 ON t1.Table1Id = t2.RemoteTable1Id;
This is flawed, since all the sql commands have to be changed if the database or server names change. It would be far better to refer to connections which can be changed on package level and my question is how to get that done.
One way I can think of to get that done is to use several sql source queries and join the data with SSIS join operations. For that all current data flows need to be reworked and I am unsure about the performance when joining large databases compared to the
performance of a single t-sql query.
The other approach would be some dynamic sql stuff which I want to avoid whenever possible. However, if it was possible to use a parameter to insert server/database into the sql command somehow, then that could be an option.

Whatever you're doing now is a bad practice inside SSIS. You should be using data flow tasks for this if data come from different sources and use connection managers pointing to each of them. You add these connection properties as config items which will
enable you to change them from outside package based on your environment
If performance is your concern you can go for staging approach where you bring deltas(changes) alone on daily basis and then use it in the comparisons with destination tables using MERGE or T-SQL for set based processing. You need to have audit columns in
your tables for this though.

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 .

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.

How to return in pl/sql the tuples of an sql query comming several tables

I have a select query whose result comes from several tables. The question is how to return the tuples of the select query using a pl/sql function. In othe words, is it possible to define a construct structure to store the values of sql query and return that construct. if yes how to define such a construct where its elements comming from several tables.
I appreciate very much ur help

The way to return a resultset from a function is with a cursor variable. The lazy of doing this is using a weakly-typed ref cursor (in 9i use the predefined SYS_REFCURSOR).

KQL query using "Greater Than" fails

I have developed a CSOM app that does a KQL query against several managed properties. One of these properties is numeric (mapped to RefinableDouble01), so I have a greater than (>) comparison in the query string:
     RefinableDouble01>41.12345
I developed the app in Office 365 and when I run the query there, it works fine (no errors).  However, when I run it to our internal SharePoint 2013 site, it fails with the error:
     "We didn't understand your search terms. Make sure they're using proper syntax."
As far as I can tell, the configuration of the internal site matches the Office 365 site.
If I use a query on a text property, so that I don't use the greater than comparison, that query works. The query results from that query also show that the managed property RefinableDouble01 is properly mapped and returns the expected numeric value.
Does anyone know what the problem is? I'm wondering if the KQL query functionality is not properly set up in our internal site, but that is not an area that I am familiar with.

Conditions on a Query using Nav. Attr. (quick reply is very appreciated).

Hi experts,
I have a problem here with a query using both conditions and navigation attributes.
The problem is as follow:
I created a query with ZPRDGRP (product group), ZPRDTYPE (product type), ZPRDVAR (product variant) and 0MATERIAL (material), 0EXTMATLGRP (external material group) on the row side.
On the column side, I have several restricted Key Figures:
PriceA, PriceB and Quantity.
The 0EXTMATLGRP is a <u>navigation attribute</u> of the 0MATERIAL.
I created a conditions whereby I only want to see the materials with PriceA=0.
But everytime I tried to run the query on the web, I always get this error message:
"Termination message sent
ABEND RSBOLAP (000): Program error in class SAPMSSY1 method : UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
MSGV1: SAPMSSY1
MSGV3: UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION"
The error message always occurs everytime I include the 0EXTMATGRP on my rows. If I remove this, then my query will work fine. But I need to include this 0EXTMATGRP on my query.
Furthermore, this error message just occurs if I run the query on the web, but if I just run it on the analyzer, then it also just work totally fine.
Has anyone encounter this problem before? Is this a bug? How to solve this problem?
Thank you a lot in advance!
Fen.

Hi all, I have found a solution for this one.
I think it should be a bug, since if I included the Product Size characteristics in it (even though I hide it), then the query will work fine.

Need ability to generate a list of reports/queries that use each universe

Hi ,
When we make changes to a universe, I need to be able to identify which queries / reports use that universe. Would also like to be able to get the name of the person who created the query / report and, if possible, the names of the peple who ran them.
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

You have to fire query in the Query Builder tool.
The following query will give you the list of IDs of the webi report built on top of the universe.
select si_webi from ci_appobjects where si_name='Universe_Name'
Hope this will help you out.

How To Guide : Impact of a BEx query change to universes and WebI document

Ever wondered about the impact of a BEx query change to your universes and Intelligence documents ? "If I change this, will I need to refresh the universe structure ? will my Web Intelligence documents break ?". This article aims at clarifying these questions for Web Intelligence documents that use OLAP Universe(s) based on BEx query(ies). More specifically, it clarifies which BEx query change does impact Universes and Web Intelligence documents and which one is transparent to them.
The first part of this article provides a summary table. The second part explains what to do to make the universe and Web Intelligence documents reflect the BEx query change. And finally, it covers each change scenario in details with more explanation and screen shots.

Hi Rajesh J Salecha,
What I understood is like :
You have two queries and both gives same results but one of the query having a parameter.
You have one report which is using query1. Now you want that report to be copied as Report2 and use Query2 instead of Query1.
If the this is the issue, then you copy Report1 as Report2 and go in Database and change the Data source location to Query2.
Hope this will help you. If my understanding is wrong then give us the work flow.

Query using views

Since the query is too big, I have removed the query from the post.
I would like to know whether using views in SQL queries degrade the performance of the queries?
When views are used in sql queries, the operation 'FILTER' is displayed in the explain plan, however the cost doesnt seem to be high. If the views can be replaced by the base tables, it is better to do so?

user642116 wrote:
I have a main table called NATURAL_PERSON. There are several child tables based on this table, for e.g. PERSONAL_DETAILS, NATIONALITY_PERSON, CIVIL_STATUS etc. All these child tables have a foreign key NPN_ID which is joined with the ID of NATURAL_PERSON.
I need to obtain data from these child tables and present in them xmlformat.
A part of the query used is as below
SELECT npn.ID npn_id,
CONVERT(xmlelement("uwvb:NaturalPerson",
          XMLForest(LPAD(npn.nat_nummer,9,0) AS "uwvb:NatNr"),

                    FROM ebv_v_nep nep
                    WHERE npn_id = npn.ID
                    AND nep.nem_code = 'VBT'
                    AND nep.transactid =
                    (SELECT MAX (nep_i.transactid)
                         FROM ebv_v_nep nep_i
                         WHERE nep.npn_id = nep_i.npn_id
                         AND nep_i.nem_code = 'VBT'))
          entityelement),'WE8MSWIN1252', 'UTF8')
FROM ebv_v_npn npn, ebv_v_per per
WHERE npn.ID = per.npn_id
As seen in the above query, views have been defined for all the tables. For e.g. the view ebv_v_npn is based on NATURAL_PERSON, ebv_v_per is based on PERSONAL_DETAILS, ebv_v_nep is based on RESIDENCE STATUS. All these views are independent of each other and do not contain common tables in their definition.
The views can be replaced by the base tables as i dont see any advantage of using the views. I would like to know whether replacing the views with the base tables would also help to improve the performance.Replacing the views with the base tables might help, since not always Oracle is able to merge the views, so sometimes certain access paths are not available when working with views compared to accessing the base tables directly.
You can see this in the execution plan if there are separate lines called "VIEW". In this case a view wasn't merged.
The particular query that you've posted joins two views in the main query and (potentially) executes a scalar subquery that contains another correlated subquery for each row of the result set. "Potentially" due to the cunning "Filter optimization" feature of the Oracle runtime engine that basically attempts to cache the results of scalar subqueries to minimize the number of executions.
If the statement doesn't perform as expected you need to find out which of the two operations is the main contributor to the statement's runtime.
You can use DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY to find out what the FILTER operation you mentioned is actually performing (check the "Predicates Information" section below the plan output), and you can use SQL tracing to find out which row source generates how many rows. The following document explains how to enable SQL tracing and run the "tkprof" utility on the generated trace file: When your query takes too long ...
The correlated subquery of the scalar subquery that is used to determine the maximum "transactid" may be replaced with a version of the statement that uses an analytic function to avoid the second access to the view (note: untested):
SELECT npn.ID npn_id,
CONVERT(xmlelement("uwvb:NaturalPerson",
          XMLForest(LPAD(npn.nat_nummer,9,0) AS "uwvb:NatNr"),
          (XMLForest(LPAD(per.a_nummer, 10, 0) AS "uwvb:ANr"
          (SELECT XMLFOREST
    (code_status AS "uwvb:ResidenceStatus")
    FROM (
      SELECT code_status,
      RANK() over (PARTITION BY npn_id ORDER BY transactid desc) as rnk
      FROM ebv_v_nep nep
      WHERE nep.npn_id = npn.ID
      AND nep.nem_code = 'VBT'
    where rnk = 1)

Query to find universe modified date and modified by

Hi,
Is there a way we can query to find universe last modified by and modified date?.
I was not able to find a field to pull "modified by" info.
Thanks

Sreedhar,
I'm not exactly sure how you're going to get from Point "A" to Point "B", but here are the two points:
a) using QB you can perform a search as was specified in my last posting, which you point out only provides "owner"
b) if you have the Auditor portion running, then in the Audit_Detail table is the column "Detail_Type_ID" and each time a universe is accessed a code "2" is recorded and Detail_Text is loaded with the Universe name. If you join the Audit_Detail table to the Audit_Event table on Event_ID, then you'll have access to User_name and Start_Timestamp, which will show you who and when a Universe was accessed.
Thanks,
John

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?

Garima.

LCM in SAP BO 4.0 Webi not using new Universe version

Hi I am trying to use LCM in SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 sp5. After moving a universe from a development server to a production server using LCM (promotion management) everything seems to work as advertised: connections stay the same on my production box, security stays the same, and I see the change when I import the changed universe on production into universe designer. However, in order to see the change in an existing WEBi report or a new WEBi report that uses the universe, I have to export the universe again to the production server from universe designer in order to see the change in WEBi. Note that I had tried first logging completely out of BI Launchpad and logging back in, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Hi Kevin,
After promoting universe from one env to another one import/export is needed to see all the changes in webi built on that.
