Reference columns from another query

I've made XML data template in Report Builder, which consists of multiple data queries and groups. When I use for each XML structure in Word template builder to obtain data, I get data only from one data query, and blanks for fields that I referenced from another group.
Is there any way to solve that problem.
Thanks in advanced for the answers.

It seems to me that you are trying to get to a higher/parent element from within a lower/child group. So, use the ../ notation to get up to an element in a parent group. And add ../ as you go higher and higher. ex. <?../../CHECK_DATE?> Obviously, for referencing lower group, you just open the group with a for-each.
Make it a habit to open and close your groups for ease of readability.

Unicode String Issue while Using Results from Another Query

Hi All,
In a webi report i have 2 queries say Sales Out and Investment. I need to have only those chains which are in Investement in Sales Out.
So in Sales Out query i am using the option Results from another Query. The Chain values are in Unicode format.
Though in universe i have Set Parameter Unicode_String ='Yes', this does not get applied when using option Results from another Query.
Is there any solution to resolve this problem.
Thanks

I need to take values from the column of one table that meets certain critera, and create inserts into another table that includes this data.

I then want to insert these values into another table:

insert into My_table values (

In the example above, I need it to insert a new row into My_table for where the "last_name" is each of the names from the select statement above (Duncan, Fitzgerald,Johnson,Smith).
Based on other similar forum questions it looks like I should be doing something like:

INSERT INTO MY_TABLE

                99,

                FROM EMP
                WHERE EMP_FIRST_NAME LIKE 'B%')
{code}
But this (obviously) doesn't work!
Appreciate any assistance on this!

Hi,
Created this test data
create table plch_test (name varchar2(50));
insert into plch_test values('AKSHAY');
insert into plch_test values('RAHUL');
insert into plch_test values('APARNA');
output
1    AKSHAY
2    RAHUL
3    APARNA
created another destnation table(in your case "my table")
create table plch_test_1 (id number,name varchar2(50));
created another sequence to generate employee ids
create sequence test_seq;
Now populated the desination table
insert into plch_test_1(select test_seq.nextval,name from plch_test);
verify the destination table
select * from plch_test_1
1    AKSHAY
2    RAHUL
3    APARNA
Hope this helps

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!!

Query on results from another query

Post Author: Duncan1980
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Is it possible to query on the results from another query. I have a query that produces a list of document numbers. I want to use the output from that query as the filter criteria in a another query in the same Universe.
The output from the first query can be as much as 2000, so it would be very time consuming to cut and paste these into a filter.
Both reports are built, but can not figure out how to link the first report output to the filtering criteria on the second report. I
I am using business objects XI release 2 web intelligence 11.5.3.417 enterprise.

Hi Vivek,
It was not directly solved but I applied alternate logic to over come the issue.
Here's what I did to overcome:
I used a sub query in place of the whole result from another query.
For Ex:
Dim1 inlist result from another query1
I made it as
Dim1 inlist (Dim0)
where Conditions.
Here Dim0 is the object which we use for Result from another query and Conditions will be the necessary filter conditions to arrive proper Dim0. Make sure proper context is formed for the sub query.
Even though it resolved my problem, It introduces an new issue. It causes increase in query run time when huge set of data is returned from sub query.
Please let me know if i haven't explained clearly.
Hi Aris_BO,
Sorry for not responding earlier. The logic would probably make more queries null & not null. Thats why I was not advised to use it.
Thanks

Results from another Query - not available

HI,
My environment is Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 Edge series , i have below quereis with web Intelligence Reports
1. not available the functions/options Results from another Query(Any) or Results from another Query(ALL) at Query Level.
2. not getting list of Values for pronpt until i refresh values for prompt?
Please suggest me is there any fix packs available for the same to availle that functionality.
Best Regards,
Reddeppa K

not getting list of Values for pronpt until i refresh values for prompt?
There is option called "Automatic refresh before use" for the object properties available in the universe designer.
Please check the box for the object you are using for populating the list of values and export the universe.
not available the functions/options Results from another Query(Any) or Results from another Query(ALL) at Query Level.
There is a limitation for the query on query functionality that the both the queries can-not be from the OLAP universe.
I guess the query which needs to be filtered should be built on universe from the relational data base.

Issue with Results from Another Query (Error on Null value)

Hi All,
We have a WebI report using "Result from Another Query" option of BO XI R3.1. The report was running fine till recently the dimension object using result from another query had a null value. Report suddenly throwed error as the query filters are invalid.
Is there a way to make this filter optional if no data/null value is there ? Because we need those null values in report as well.
Thank you for your time.

Combine query, result from another query on SAP BI query Universe?

Hello all,
We are using SAP BI queries as datasource for our universes. Is the combined query option disabled for webi reports written on such universes?
result from another query - is this option active for such webi reports? I see both these options greyed out so wanted to check.
One last thing what is really difference between subquery and results from another query? subquery - you can use filters from that one data provider only right? or can you use a different data provider/report in sub query?
Thanks a lot for all the replies.

Hi,
in BO 3.1 Combined query and result from another query options are not available in webi report on OLAP Universes (SAP BW Universe.)
Thanks,
Amit

Reference report column from another page?

I have a work order report with column link. Upon clicking link, control goes from page 2 to page 3 where I want to show details about components in work order. How do I reference the work order ID (report column on page2) from the query in page 3? I know I can reference page items, but how do you do you pass a value of a report column on the previous page?
Thanks.
Paul

Hi Paul,
Typically I would create an Item on the page being called (Page 3 in your case) to receive a value being passed via your Link; this item could be hidden or read-only. You might want to name yours; P3_WORK_ORDER_ID or something to reflect the Primary Key (PK) of your Work Order.
On the Link Column on Page 2; I assume that your Target Page is 3.
Down in the Link Column section under Name and Value ;
Name might read P3_WORK_ORDER_ID
Value might read *#WORK_ORDER_ID* this would reference the work order id column on the Page 2 report.
Now on your Page 3 report; your SQL would need within its Where clause something like this:
my_table.work_order_id = :P3_WORK_ORDER_ID

Retrieve varchar column from Oracle query in a resulset

Hi, I'am a begginer in JSP Technologies.
I've do a small jsp that opens a db connection to an oracle, execute a query a show results.
When the columns of the query are int I've no problem, the jsp show the columns of the resulset, but when the columns selected are varchars the jsp doesn't show anything....
Can anyone help me?
Example:
Table: CUSTOMERS
Col1 : ID_COSTUMER int
Col2: CUSTOMER_NAME varchar
<%
Connection canal = null;
ResultSet tabla = null;
Statement instruccion=null;
try { Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
canal=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXp");
instruccion = canal.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e){};
String Query = "SELECT ID_CUSTOMER FROM CUSTOMERS";
try { tabla = instruccion.executeQuery(Query);
out.println("<TABLE Border=10 CellPadding=5><TR>");
out.println("<TD>CUSTOMER</TD></TR>");
while(tabla.next()) {
out.println("<TR>");
out.println("<TD>"+tabla.getString(1)+"</TD>");
out.println("</TR>"); };
out.println("</TABLE></CENTER></DIV></HTML>");
tabla.close(); instruccion.close(); canal.close();}
catch(SQLException e) {};
%>Results:
CUSTOMER
1
2
3
4
Doing the change in query:
SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME FROM CUSTOMERS
I have not results....
Thank you.

sorry, I misplaced an ending code bracket on last one
I'm not really familiar with doing this inside a jsp.. but there are a few things that you should try to make sure that it isn't a database problem before assuming it is a problem on your jsp.... It is possible you have already tried the following but just to make sure.
When you do the second query does the first two out.printlns that are before the while still output? If not then your query is incorrect.
Second I would try
String Query = "SELECT ID_CUSTOMER,CUSTOMER_NAME FROM CUSTOMERS";
try { tabla = instruccion.executeQuery(Query);
out.println("<TABLE Border=10 CellPadding=5><TR>");
out.println("<TD>CUSTOMER_ID</TD><TD>CUSTOMER_NAME</TD></TR>");
while(tabla.next()) {
out.println("<TR>");
out.println("<TD>"+tabla.getString(1)+"</TD>");
out.println("<TD>"+tabla.getString(2)+"</TD>");
out.println("</TR>"); };
out.println("</TABLE></CENTER></DIV></HTML>");I suspect this will also return nothing.. if that is the case then you need to check your database. If it does infact return values for the ID and nothing for the NAME then I'm not sure at this point what the problem is.

SQL update one column from another column

I'm looking for a way to update a SQL column with a portion
of info from another column in the same table.
example of a sql command
UPDATE table1
SET table1.columnname1 = table1.columnname2
FROM table
WHERE blah blah blah
Here's the thing... I only need a portion of the data found
in the source column. I'm not sure how I would do this then.
for example, the database has countries and states combined
into one column like this 'US-DC', 'US-CA', US-FL', etc. I want to
separate these into two columns, a country column and a state
column.... and I dont want to go though all the results and do this
line by line. How would I write the SQL command so that it puts
just the country in the country column, and puts just the state in
the state column, and it omits the dash all together.
any ideas?

It depends. Are you using PHP and mySQL or ASP and SQL?
If you are using mysql and PHP you could use the following
code to loop through all records in your datatbase.
$sql="SELECT * FROM tablename"; //SET tablename to the name
of your database table.
$result=mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error(). " - $sql");
for($x = 0; $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $x++){
//set up the variables from the table
$ID=$row['ID']; //this is the primary key
$var1=$row['contrystatecolumn']; //this is the name of the
column which holds the country-state
$var2=explode("-", $var1); //now we explode the string to get
the country and the state seperated and place the results into an
array
$country=$var2[0]; //this is the first piece of the exploded
string in the array
$state=$var2[1]; //this is the second piece of the exploded
string in the array
//now we update the database record with the new information
//remember to replace the tablename with your actual table
name and the columns country and state with the acutal names of
your columns in your table
$sql2="UPDATE tablename SET country='$country'.
state='$state' WHERE ID='$ID'";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2)or die(mysql_error() . " -
$sql2");
This code will loop through every record in your table and do
what you want very quickly.
Hope this helps

How to use Results from Another Query for SAP BW universes

Hi Everyone,
I have two SAP BI universes.In my First universe I have Sales Doc no (dimension) and Orderqty (Measure) and in my second universe I have Sales Doc no(Dimension) and BillQty (Measure).
Here in my first dataprovider I have 1200 rows of data and in second dataprovider I have 75,000 rows. The report should fetch only the BillQty details that matches to corresponding Sales doc no in first data provider.
I want to place all these fileds into a single report like as shown.
(Datarpovider1) (Datarpovider1) (Datarpovider2)
*Sales Doc No* Orderqty BillQty
Here I am able to generate single report using merge dimension but it is leading to performance issues. I want to restrict the values at query level by passing the First dataprovider Sales doc no to second Data provider Sales doc number using Results from Anothery Query feature so that It can fetch only the matching records.
I tried it but it was giving the follwing error:
A filter contains a wrong value. You cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007)
How Can I get rid of this error. Can we use Results from Anothery Query option for OLAP universe. Are there any limitation on it.
All this I am doing in Webi Rich Client.
Appreciate your help
Thanks &in Advance

Hi Kiran,
I think the filter has a wrong operand. For example, a filter with an empty constant, or a filter that deals with numeric values is defined with an alphanumeric value.Check out for this.

Populating variable from another query..

Hi,
I have a requirement whereby I have a variable (for eg. on the Accounting Document Number) in query Q2.The values of this variable have to be derived by executing another query eg. - Q1
So I defined a variable on the infoobject, defined it as based on Q1 and am using that in Q2.
However the issue is I don't want to restrict query Q2 with that variable.. but just want to read the values and then be able to further processing on that variable. However hard as I try it seems that I can only use that variable as Filter in Q2. Any other options I can use.
I tried to use that variable in a structure but it system does not accept it.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
thx

Hi ATW,
Looks to me, this is a RRI (Report-To-Report Interface) requirement.
Try following options ->
1. RRI
Consider - Q1 is a 'Sender Query' - This will a 'summary level' query and Q2 would be 'Receiving Query' - This will be 'Detailed level' query.
Do Sedning / Receiving setting in the Tcode RSBBS
Execute Q1 -> Right click on any row -> GOTO -> Q2, it will execute second query with the details on for the row you have selected.
2. Pre-Query & Main Query
Here Q1 will be your 'pre-query' which will run for a given date range. (or any other selection criteria), and it will have 'Accounting Document Number' in the 'ROWS'. The output of Q1 will work as a filter to Q2 (the output of the query Q1 will NOT be visible.)
This output then will work as a filter for the second query Q2.
Let me know if this helps.

Rashmi

Multiple columns from a query sorted vertically

Is it possible to sort a query resultset vertically, with
multiple columns across the page, in the following manner, with
page breaks after 40 rows? I can get it to sort horizontally just
fine with tables, but how can it be done vertically as shown?
JONES, Abby JONES, Betty JONES, Dawn JONES, Frank
JONES, Adam JONES, Bill JONES, Debbie JONES, Gayle
JONES, Alice JONES, Bob JONES, Denton JONES, Henry
JONES, Ben JONES, Cathy JONES, Emma JONES, John

This will get you started. I assume you had the appropriate
order by clause in your query. I also assume you want 4 columns per
line.
My approach would be to convert the query to an array and
then output the array.
columns = 4;
maxrows = 40;
recordsperpage = columns * rows;
records = query.recordcount;
myArray = ArrayNew(2);
ThisColumn = 1;
ThisRow = 1;
if (records gt recordsperpage)
LoopTill = recordsperpage;
else
LoopTill = records;
for ( ii = 1; ii lte LoopTill; ii = ii + 1){
myArray[ThisRow][ThisColumn] = query.field[ii];
increment ThisRow;
if (ThisRow = MaxRows + 1) {
ThisRow = 1;
increment ThisColumn;
} // if
} // looop
You can do the rest
