Query Views versus Bookmarks

Can anyone help me to understand the difference between a query view and a bookmarked query, and when best to use either of them?
My understanding is that a query view is a saved navigational state of a query. Allowing the same underlying database query to be used for multiple query views, thus saving on system resources and improving performance.
A bookmarked query also seems to achive the same result. It saves a navigational state of a query.
So when should I use a bookmark and when should I use a query view?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I will explain the issue again so please tell me the process we are following is correct or not?
Last month we created views for two queries and attched them in the workbook, the variable values which we have given at that time were month = 01 year 2010.
This month when we try to access the workbooks we are getting 0 records in the views of the workbook.
now my doubt is:
If we create views for variable values month jan and year 2010, will they show output when we change the variable values to Feb, 2010?
or
Do we have to create new views every month and attach them to the existing workbook manually?
PLease revert.
Thanks

Bookmark with Query View Issue !!!

Hello Experts,
I have a query view for my data provider. I change the Variable at runtime and modify the layout and when i try to bookmark the page it always uses the defaults from the Query view.
Variable Screen
<SAP_BW_URL CMD='PROCESS_VARIABLES' VARIABLE_SCREEN='X'>
Bookmark
<SAP_BW_URL CMD='BOOKMARK'>
Is there any way to Refresh the data provider to have the current variables values & layout in the page with the Bookmark?
Thank you

Hi,
Did you try using Save View command in the command wizard?

How to Create/Modify/Delete a query view from the web template in BI 7.0

All:
In BW 3.5, the Query Selection View web item was introduced for users to create a query view to save the navigational state of a query. This web item was also available to modify and delete an existing query view.
The Query Selection View web item does not exist in BI 7.0. I see the drop down web item can be used to display the query views associated to a query.
Can anyone share how to create,modify,save or delete a query view on the web in BI 7.0
Thanks,
Kumar

Sanjay, we experienced the same issue. Below are a few pieces of information that may be of help: 1-The Save As button on the 0ANALYZER template saves the query to the portal. From Bex Web or Bex Analyzer, you have no access to these saved views. We created a ZANALYZER copy of the 0ANALYZER template and removed the Save As button. 2- If you right mouse click on any item in the query results grid of Bex Web, you get a small menu. Clicking on the menu item Save View will save the view to BI. You do not have the ability to delete the saved views from Bex Web. However, you can delete them from Bex Analyzer. This was not an option for us since most of our users are using Bex Web. 3- On the same menu, clicking on Bookmark, saves the navigation and also opens the Internet Explorer Favorites maintence window. The navigation is saved as an entry into the users Internet Explorer favorites where they can organize and delete their entries. However, deleting the favorite does not delete the entry for the bookmark in BI. The bookmarks are stored in table RSWR_DATA. Program RSWR_BOOKMARK_REORG can be used to manage the saved bookmarks. We are loading RSWR_DATA into a chracteristic so that we can query the information in order to help us manage it. I hope this helps you and others that appear to be struggling with the issue of saved views in Bex Web.

Variable with proposed value in BEX Query View

Dear SAP-Gurus,
I have a Web Application with some views on one query. In the inital screen i show the popup for entering the global variable values. Now my question; is it possible to give a global variable used filled by exit and used in these queries a proposed value, receeived by user exit?
With normal query this works, but not with a query view.
any suggestions?
kind regards.
Jürgen

Hi,
if anyone has the same problem - you just have to set the parameter variables_clear=x in webtemplate.
same applies to bookmarks, if you want the variables to be filled by your exit.
regards
Jürgen

Missing Query Views

Hi,
We are randomly missing query views in our production system across many dataproviders. This was not done manually by any user ie deleting views. Frequency of the missing views can be once in 40 - 50 days and hundreds of views get deleted from the system. We do not have any jobs performed in the background process for deletion.
In our SQL cache we noticed the class "CL_RSZ_WWW_DB_INTERFACE" with the statement "DELETE FROM RSZVIEW WHERE VIEWID = "A0 AND OBJVERS = :A1# but not able to locate where it originated from because of missing log and trace file information for the activity.
SAP at this point not able to confirm what would have caused to delete the views randomly from the system. We are still investigating and trying to find whether bookmark reorganization or deletion can cause the views to be deleted because of bugs in the system.
Is there any one in the community faced the similar kind of issues.
Thanks
Suresh

Hi
We have experienced the same problem and checked for any program that may have caused this.
After some investigation we have found out that by running the FM RRMX_WORKBOOKS_DELETE without the parameter for OBJECT_VERSION, ALL views in the system were deleted, even though you have specified a Workbook ID.
Please check whether you have run this program.
Hope this helps

How to create a global query view

Hi,
How to save a query view as global,if user A was to create a view 'V1' , user B should be able to see 'V1' in his list of query views.
Currently i have created views using bex Analyzer and using the save function in the query designer,but these views are local to the user and cannot be opened by other users.
In 3.5 we had an option to save view as global from Analyzer.We are on SP11
Thanks in Advance

Hi Kiran,
The reason i want to create a global view is to use it as a data provider in a web template, the problem is if i were to create a view the view being local to my id will not be seen by other users,so if the view needs to be edited in the future it would have to be done by me, if it was global any user can modify the view.
A view saved in bex portfolio is a bookmark and it as saved on the portal and cannot be opened through query designer.Any work arounds??
Thank You.

Error while saving a query view

Hi All,
I am trying to save a query view in my favourites and it is failing with below message:
Namespace '/BIC/' must be set to 'changeable' (transaction SE06)
I have created many query view so far, this issue has just started. Could you please help us with this, as it is very urgent.
Thanks and regards,
Shashidhar.

Hi,
Please set the setting as described in note 337950, it will help to fix the issue.
solution:
Releasing the object changeability
This setting is only intended for production or test systems that are
set to not changeable. It is not suitable for development systems. For
this reason, this setting is only effective if at least one of the
conditions specified under 'Cause and prerequisites' is met.
Go to the Administrator Workbench (Data Warehousing Workbench,
transaction RSA1) -> 'Goto' -> 'Transport Connection' and choose 'Object
Changeability'. To display the function, you may have to enlarge the
window or press the arrow keys nearby.
In the following dialog box you can select the object types that you
want to be changeable, even though the system is set to not changeable.
These objects are not connected to the transport system; this means that
no transport dialog boxes are displayed. This only applies, however, if
the preconditions mentioned under 'Cause and prerequisites' are met.
First, after releasing an object type, only objects that are original,
that is, those that were created in this system can be changed. This
prevents changes to objects that were imported into the system. However,
changes to these objects may be overwritten again during a new
transport.
You can set all objects to changeable (even the ones imported into the
system) using the context menu (right mouse button), although this
setting is not recommended for the reasons mentioned above.
Thanks,
Venkat

I downloaded Firefox 3.6 and now my tool bar is gone. No back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

I downloaded the new Mozilla web browser and I had a Bing homepage setting. I changed back to yahoo but I ever since downloading I dont have any back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools, address bar....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

For details of how to restore the menus see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing]
Once the menus are back, you can use the View menu, then select Toolbars and click on the names of the toolbars to toggle displaying them.

Query View name not saved in "Analysis Grid Properties" under Data Provider

Hi BW World;)
We are on BI 7.0
I have created a BI workbook which contains a query view.
However when we go into design mode and then "analysis grid properties" for this query view then "change data provider" it does not show the query view name but the query name. (we have saved the workbook)
Is this the normal scenario?
Surely should show the "query view name " and not the "query name" as confuses what data provider is being used?
Is this a bug?
Best
Stevo.... Points of course... Thanks in advance.;)
Edited by: bw4eva999 on Sep 10, 2009 4:40 PM spelling

Hi,
You have created a workbook on top of a Query View which is again depends on a Query.Now the base for Query View is a Query.So the underlying Data Provider for a workbook is a Query.
Hence when you go to Properties of grid->Change Data Provider,it shows the Query and the InfoCube,but not the Query View.
So this is not a bug and this how its been designed.
If you click for the Information of that workbook,it will show the Query and Info Provider,but not the query View.
Though it looks like wierd,it is not a bug.

BEX Query Views - Reqd in PRD but need to create in Dev - Data Issues

Hello Bw Gurus
BI 7.0 ECC 4.7
We have a BEx Query in BI production which uses a work centre hierarchy. The user wants to create query views on this query to use in BI production.
Our normal transport procedure of a new development object would be BI DEV - QA - PRD
However the DEV environment does not have all the work centres and the data of PRD. So if the query view needs to be created in DEV then we could not set up the view correctly as there is not the workcenters or the data in DEV.
Hopefully that makes sense?
Apart from allowing Query Views to be created in BI PRD directly is there any solution?
Best,
Steve Jones

If you need exact char values for workcenter to create your views you can quickly create the master data (just the values you want) in Dev and use them to create the views...

Cover Flow is used to view your History, not your bookmarks. There's a slider in that window you can drag up or down to hide or reveal the Cover Flow visuals.
