Question of workbook/query/variable deletions

Hello,
Needed opinion from the gurus on how deletion of front end objects is handled.
For example, we have migrated workbooks(including query elements, variables etc) to quality. Some of them need to be deleted and no longer are required in production.
Can we delete those objects in development and would it create a request similar to how backend obkjects are deleted? So that when the transport is sent out, it would delete the objects in the target systems.
Or do we manually/programatically delete those objects in the development and in target systems?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts
Regards
Prakash

Hello,
Thanks for your input.
Does the front end deletion get recorded the same way as backend?
For example, if I delete a query from RSZDELETE. I am not prompted for a transport or a request.

  • Error while executing the workbook query.

    Hi guyz
    i'm getting an error while executing the workbook Query. The actual problem is there is a filter for REQUID in the query definition for removing the doble count. there is customer exit written. the report works fine in DEVELOPMENT but it is not working in quality.
    The query on which this workbook is created is working fine, but the problem is when we execute the workbook i'm facing this issue.
    we re-transported the queries but still we are facing the same problem.
    while we execute the query we are prompted for variable entry(Optional) for date. when we press OK we get the below error
    " NO SID value found for the value REQU_4DQT75Y2RJPVT4PXZ4LHC70V3 of characteristic"
    the request is not available in the BW system. the request was deleted long back, but it is still referring to the same the request id
    could someone please tell me where we went wrong and why we are getting this error.
    Regards,
    Anil Vadde

    Hey ,I think data load to your target on which the query was based had some issue.
    Can you check the data load to the data target.change the status of request concerned to red and delete.do reconstruct if neeed..I think the request had some issue.
    Even you can go to RSRQ or RSMO and filter on the basis of this request and see its status.

  • Is there anyway to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting?

    Our environment has thousands of old queries and workbooks.  We plan to delete any object that has not been used within 13 months, but there's a concern we may someday need a few of the reports that will be deleted.
    Is there a way to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting them?
    Is there another approach to solving this matter?
    Thanks!

    Jim 
    This is really a intersting question as this is a reality as many BW reports are not used/accessed by users but still they have tendancies of sitting on these reports.
      I wanted to suggest to carry-out report usabilty analys. This analysis u can carry out by using BW statistics/standerd queries/new queries in technical cubes showing usability data. If u found that a perticalar BW report is not been used for long time, u can discuss the usability of this report with the report user ( as it is a normal practice of owning BW report by user/user group across industry ), if user is no longer uses it Or do not need it any more, it will be better to delete those reports, this will free up some resources and will reduce the junk. ( if user wants these queries ask him to use it or it will better to personalise report in his desktop easing him to see those reports. )
    Changing the technical names of the query as suggested by Bhanu will have follwing effects.
    1. It will add more reports in repository leading to junk
    2. Old queries still be assigned to user roles, so collide with user authorisation.
    hope views are clear, others are welcome to add or share their experince in this regard.
    kindly assign the points if it helps.

  • BW Authorizations - Query variable with processing mode as "customer exit"

    Hi,
    Iam new to BW authorizations and have not yet worked on customer exit before. I was going through the documentation at various sites but I could not get the end to end description on how the query process( when using a variable for an InfoObject) works in case of customer exit.
    Let's assume that I am using  a query variable with processing mode as "customer exit" and at the exit I  write some code to extract user's authorizations from a z table. if this is the case, then when an end user runs a query,how will the the system know what value needs to be filled in the variable for the requesting user. Are the user details  also sent to the code along with the query variable? If so how. If I mis-understood the process then forgive me and let me know the correct process.

    Hi!
    welcome to SDN!
    customer exit variables need programing by user. so if you create a customer exit variable, you got to right a program which extracts values into this variable. we can do what ever we want in program, SAP will not deal anything ´with customer exits.

  • BEx: How to change a Query Variable that is not visible in Filters List?

    Hello Experts,
    Good day, I'm currently editing an old query, I am changing the Query Variables with new ones, but I found one variable that I cannot replace.
    Please see the screenshot below, in the Query Properties Window [Variable Sequence Tab (right side of picture)] the Variable that I am trying to replace (Unit) is visible. But when I look for the variable in the "Filter Tab" (left side of picture) under Characteristic Restrictions, it doesn't exist in the list.
    How can I find this Variable and replace it with a new one?
    Other reports are still using this variable so it will impact the other reports if I simply edit the variable. So I need to replace it with a new variable instead.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
            SInce you are searching for a variable for Unit, look into below screenshot and navigate to the variables.
    First click on drop down and select 'Entry for variable' then you will get lisl (after you click on drop down in 'Target Unit' drop down option.
    Normally these type of variable called 'Formula Variable' try editing any of the formula and locate the option as shown below,
    Hope it helps! don't forget to update the final solution and mark the correct/helpful answers.

  • Query variable for InfoObject with texts

    Hello experts,
    In the BW I have an InfoObject of type NUMC 19 that stores tasks master data and does have texts, we assume that the InfoObject is called Z_TASK. The texts represent the multi lingual task names. I need to build up a query that filters on the task names, e.g. all tasks between A* and C*.
    When I use a variable in the query, the variable takes the key field values (NUMC values of the InfoObject Z_TASK).
    My questions are:
    1. Is there a possibility to solve this problem using query variables?
    2. Other solutions?
    Thanks in advance.
    Marco

    Hi Marco,
    one possibility would be to create a ods object and post the master data to that ods. Include the text (description) into the datafields of the ods. Enable BEX reporting for the ods. Create a Query on it with a variable selection on the text. Now go back to your other query and create a variable for your task infoobject. Use the prequery on the ods as replacement path for z_task. That should do the job.
    kind regards

  • I have question about dml mechanism. particularly delete statement

    HI,
    I have question about dml mechanism. particularly delete statement
    I learned that SQL statements deal with each row. For example, SELECT statement insert each record(1 row) which matched with term of WHERE into record pool.
    Also I find that UPDATE, INSERT statement insert each record into memory and if that is commited, I/O is generated with disk.
    if so, Do DELETE statements deal with each row which is matched with terms WHERE statements? ortherwise with rownum?
    I hope that I know the mechanism of DELETE statement?
    If the content above which I mentioned is fault, plz point out.
    Thank you for reading this contents.

    Hi,

    HI,

    I learned that SQL statements deal with each row. I'm not sure what you mean.
    SQL statements deal with sets of rows ; there may be 0, 1, 2, 3 or more rows in the set.
    For example, SELECT statement insert each record(1 row) which matched with term of WHERE into record pool.You must mean an INSERT or MERGE statement that includes a query. A plain old SELECT statement doesn't insert anything, or change any table in any way.
    Also I find that UPDATE, INSERT statement insert each record into memory and if that is commited, I/O is generated with disk.That's right. All DML involves some I/O. The I/O may be buffered, so that the DML statement might finish before any disk I/O is actually performed.
    if so, Do DELETE statements deal with each row which is matched with terms WHERE statements? ortherwise with rownum?
    I hope that I know the mechanism of DELETE statement?Sorry; the last couple of lines you wrote are especially confusing.
    When you have a DELETE statement that includes a WHERE clause, such as
    DELETE  emp
    WHERE   deptno = 20;then the set of rows that will be deleted is the same set of rows for which the condition "deptno = 20" is TRUE. Again, that may be 1 row, but if it is, that's mere coincidence. The number of rows in the set may be 0, or it may be 2 or more.
    If ROWNUM is part of the WHERE clause, then ROWNUM will be considered when Oracle decides which rows to delete; if ROWNUM is not part of the WHERE clause, then ROWNUM will play no part in determining which rows are deleted. Remember, as Damorgan mentioned above, ROWNUM is an arbitrary number. There is no built-in order to the rows in any table.

  • [Excel] Running a SQL Query to delete rows

    Hello Experts,
    Background: I am attempting to use a dba of my companies time keeping system and implement it with Power BI tools. Given the file size restrictions within Power Bi itself I need to lower my file size by removing all time logs from
    inactive employees.
    I have a question regarding whether or not you can use a sql query to delete rows in excel. I have roughly 200,000+ rows in my excel spreadsheet. I am attempting to delete all rows where an employee equals inactive. I have attempted to
    delete these rows by sorting them and doing a bulk delete and clear contents, but it seems to crash my excel every time.  My thought process is that using a query that does a timed delete might put less of a burden on deleting the massive amount of data.
    I would like to use this: DELETE * FROM [Table_(...)_Actual$] WHERE [Current] = "Inactive" (Will add more once I know it is possible to use sql queries in Excel.
    Any information on whether or not this is possible would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Link

    Running SQL Query in Excel is possible, however, the delete query is not supported in Excel.
    You are more restricted in deleting Excel data than   data from a relational data source. In a relational database, "row" has no   meaning or existence apart from "record"; in an Excel worksheet, this is not   true. You can delete values
    in fields (cells). Please see:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257819/en-us
    One workaround : Use update query to set the rows as null, then use select query.
    e.g. 
    SQL = "update [sheet2$A1:B5] set name=null,age=null where name='andy'"
    cnn.Execute SQL
    SQL = "select name,age from [sheet2$A1:B5] where name is not null"

  • Text lines in the BW query variables screen

    Hi gurus.
    The bw users ask me to display some text lines in the BW query variables prompt.
    The text lines are saved in a custom table.
    The only idea that I've got is to use customer exit text variables and fill them in CMOD when I_step = 1.
    I don't like this solution (I should have more the 10 text lines and so I have to mantain more than 10 Text variables) but I can't find any other solution.
    Any new idea or solution?
    Is there in Bex enviroment a functionality (that I don't know) for doing somenthing like this ?
    Thanks fo any help.
    S.

    Hi,
    to resolve it you should create all the prompts in the BW query. You are using a query with 2 parameters and then a dynamic list of values. the dynamic list of values can only work after you entered the other values.

  • A few Questions on ABAP Query

    Hi Guru's
    I would like to ask some questions on ABAP query.
    1. Can you transport abab queries? Should it only be Global or you can also transport Standard Areas?
    2. Once transported, am i able to change query?
    Thanks,
    Jograd

    hi....
    you can transport a quary but for that the quary should be an object itself or attached to some object
    and
    if once transported to production....you cannot change it there and for changing you have to get it in developement sysytem and then make any change.

  • How to track query variable input in FM

    Hi All,
    There are a MultiCube1 and a Query1 based on it.
    There is Virtual Infoprovider1 based on Query1.
    And finaly there is a Query2 based on Virtual Provider1.
    How to check inputed variables of Query2 in FM for Virtual Provider1.

    Hi,
    there is no way to read query variables in the is_protected method, since data slice run time and query run time are separated.
    Of course you can do the 'usual' trick by implementing an exit variable, export some variable values to memory and read it in the is_protected method.
    But is_overlapping is the correct method to read the used selection (of a query of planning function filter) to do some initializing work. This method is called when a function is processed or a query will be opened. Is_protetecd is called on a record basis, i.e. maybe very often.

  • Query rule using query variables

    Hi All,
    I am working on a query rule in SharePoint 2013. I am trying to build a query text using query variables to provide profile based results to the users. The query text which I am using in the query builder is of the following format:
    {SearchBoxQuery} CombinedLanguage:{User.PreferredContentLanguage}
    but its not taking the user.preferredcontentlanguage value. Has any one worked on similar type of query rules using query variables? Please share your suggestions.
    Thanks !!

    Hi,
    As I understand, you cannot get the user.preferredcontentlanguage value.
    1. Make sure you have set the value of query variable {user.preferredcontentlanguage}, it will return -1 if not set.
    2. Make sure you search in the right result source.
    3. Please check the crawled property mapped to the managed property CombinedLanguage and make sure that there is at least one value indexed by the crawled property equal to the {user.preferredcontentlanguage}.
    The article below is about the query variables.

    The article below is about the different query variables return different result examples.
