Rename RKF and CKF in query using ABAP

Hi guys,
I am supposed to rename RKF and CKF in query using ABAP. (RKF: restricted key figures, CKF: calculated key figures)
Right now, I am using FM RSZ_X_COMPONENT_GET to load query definition. I can find and rename all used RKF and CKF technical names and rename them in returned tables and then save it using RSZ_X_COMPONENT_SET.
But I see that both RKF and CKF are reusable elements and they are can be probably used somewhere else.
Can you tell me where can I find information in what header table are they saved or maybe some "where used" table.
What FM am I supposed to use to rename CKF and RKF in given query and also in other parts of SAP system?
Even some information how to get deeply into this problem would be very helpful.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can see the query element definitions in RSZ* tables, but not sure if you will be able to find complete info, like a particular RKF is restricted by following selections by looking at the tables. Also, please do not try to change the info directly in the tables even though you seem to have a lot of objects to changes.
Hope this helps...

Structures Vs RKFs and CKFs In Query performance

Hi Gurus,
I am creating a GL query which will be returning with a couple of KFs and some calculations as well with different GL accounts and I wanted to know which one is going to be more beneficial for me either to create Restricted keyfigures and Calculated Keyfigures or to just use a structure for all the selections and formula calculations?
Which option will be better for query performance?
Thanks in advance

As compared to formulas that are evaluated during query execution, calculated key figures are pre-calculated and their definitions are stored in the metadata repository for reuse in queries. The incorporation of business metrics and key performance indicators as calculated key figures, such as gross profit and return on investment (which are frequently used, widely understood, and rarely changed), improve query performance and ensure that calculated key figures are reported consistently by different users. Note that this approach improves query runtime performance but slows InfoCube or ODS object update time. As a rule of thumb, if multiple and frequently used queries use the same formula to compute calculated fields, use calculated key figures instead of formulas.
RKFs result in additional database processing and complexity in retrieving the query result and therefore should be avoided when possible.

BO Explorer - using RKF and CKF of a query

Hi,
I am currently in the learning phase of Business Objects 4.1 tools and have some unanswered questions.
I have recently started learning about the Explorer tool and was wondering whether there is a way I can use BEx queries as source in the Explorer tool. For now, I have created a relational data universe over the InfoCube using the Information Design Tool and used this new universe as a source in the Explorer tool but this did not bring in any of the existing BEx restricted key figures and calculated key figures.
Are there any other ways I can connect directly to the BEx query directly to take advantage of the defined restricted key figure and calculated key figure. There are about 100 RKF and CKF over an InfoCube and I would really like to take advantage of the existing elements.
I read through the discussion forums and found couple of different replies based on the version number.
Please do guide me if you have resolved a similar issue. Thanks for reading.

Grame,
The relational method is the only option with Explorer. You have other options when using WebI & Analysis for OLAP but NOT with Explorer.

Thanks for the reply Ajay. I was following the below thread that mentions about creating universe using XI 3.1 and then using the constructed universe through Explorer. Is this available in BO 4.1, please do explain about this if possible.

BWA 7.2 RKF and CKF

Ongoing from Jamie Hylton's thread...
If we had BWA with the blades configured for both SBOE and BW access - in what scenario does BW access actually get to use the "query snapshot" functionality?
We read that BWA 7.2 comes with RKF and CKF but as far as I see - this only applies to the CKFs and RKFs in the query snapshot load for SBOE and not for normal BW access
Or did I read wrongly?

Hi
You can use BWA 7.20 with BW 7.01 SP05 and the indexing RKF and CKF functionalities are supported only with this combination of BWA and BW and finally reporting in Explorer.
Also as Marc has mentioned the exploring of data with the Infoproviders having RKF and CKF is possible only in Explorer.
The CKF and RKF as part of Multiprovider Snapshot Index can also be used to explore the data in the Explorer.

Hope this helps!

Execute a query using ABAP (XSLT transformation issue)

Hello,
I made the steps from this blog (part I, II and III).
/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2005/12/05/execute-bw-query-using-abap-part-iii
When trying to run the XSLT transformation, I got the message that : XML invalid source file.
I am not sure what are the steps for running a transformation, or running it for this case ,maybe something it's not ok. I just run it, did not provide any information.
Any suggestions ? Did anyone use the function module described in this blog ?
Thank you very much in advance.

try giving
CALL TRANSFORMATION (`ID`)
SOURCE meta = meta_data[]
output = <ltable>[]
RESULT XML xml_out
OPTIONS xml_header = 'NO'.
and check - sometimes the codepages configured in the BW system tend to cause an issue... I am not sure if the syntax is right though - but you are basically trying to bypass any encoding that is happening in the query transformation....

Execute BW query using ABAP

Hello ,
1) I used the function module from this link :
/people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2005/12/05/execute-bw-query-using-abap-part-iii
When I run it , I see the metadata correct and this is all. No more data to display.
2) Then I used the code from here :

        is_fieldcat-scrtext_l = wa_meta-scrtext_l.
        APPEND is_fieldcat TO it_fieldcat.
        CLEAR : is_fieldcat .
      ENDLOOP .
      IF NOT it_fieldcat[] IS INITIAL .

      ENDTRY.
    WHEN 1 .
    WHEN 2 .
    WHEN OTHERS .
ENDCASE .
{ENDFUNCTION.
'Z_GPS_TR' is my transformation (exactly the code from the blog).
'Z_QUERY_EXECUTE' is the function from 1). I did not use variables for the query parameter.
I see with the debugger that <outtab> is filled corectly, with the values from my query. Still , the function, when is runed normally, does not display anything.
3) If I run only the transformation Z_GPS_TR alone, it says invalid source XM source file.
Please, some suggestion? I don't know hot to proceed.
Many thanks.

Percentage Calculation using RKF and CKF

Hi,
I am unable to create a CKF which calculates % of a key figure (Net PO value). The % has to be calculated on the overall total of the column.
My scenario does not allow me to use formulas to do so. So I had to create a RKF which uses my key figure and I restricted it with Vendor (Constant Selection) which was in my rows. Then I created a CKF which calculates the percentage using this restricted key figure. But when I go into my query analyser and open this query and try to restrict the vendors to only a few, the percentage is still calculated to the entire vendors for that particular company code.
Is there another way to solve this problem where I could get the percentage values according to as many vendors I filter the report on?
Many thanks
IA
Edited by: I A on Jan 13, 2010 1:39 PM

Hello I A,
Go to Query Designer, select you key figure and in "calculations tab" select: Calculate individual values as--> Normalize after overall result (8th option).
I hope this helps! (in that case rewrd pts please )

Copy and Paste of RKFs and CKFs

Hi All,
How can i copy a RKF and paste/use it and change its tech name and a few restrictions among all restrictions.
Regards

Hi Arun,
Just CRTLC for copying and CRTLV for pasting the RKF's or Formulas or any object in Query Designer in a particular query.
This is not possible to one query to other query... as said by prakash.

Hi,
You can run or get an URL for query with ABAP Function modules. but for creation, it may not possible.
As this is a different tool.

Need help Designing a Query -with RKFs and CKF or alternate

Hi,
Trying to create a query off a HR Headcount IC - to display number of top performing employees (based on appraisal attribute) by region and by function. The format is as follows:
Created 3 RKF's in column structure where
1RKF is KF "Employee Numbers" for characteristics restrictions of date range1, appraisal rating=1,2, employee status =active etc.
2RKF is KF "Employee Numbers" for characteristics restrictions of date range1, appraisal rating=#, employee status =active etc.
3RKF is KF "Employee Numbers" for characteristics restrictions of date range2, appraisal rating=1,2, employee status =active etc.
1CKF is Boolean result of (1RKF OR (2RKF AND 3RKF)
Was able to display correctly all top performing employees in the following format. When "Employee" was selected to row.
Top Performer (CKF)
Employee 1----
1
Employee 2----
1
Employee 3----
1
Employee 4----
1
Employee 5----
1
Employee 6----
1
Employee 7----
1
When tried to display the same by Region by Function or even by only Region (Row Char) it doesnt work. Data is non-sensical.
# of Top performers
Region 1 -
FunctionA----
5
Region 1 -
FunctionB----
2
Region 1 -
FunctionC----
3
Region 2 -
FunctionA----
4
Region 2 -
FunctionB----
0
Region 2 -
FunctionC----
7
Region 2 -
FunctionD----
5
Understand that the Boolean CKF is not working correctly. What am I doing wrong ? Please advice fix or alternates.
Thanks.

Hi Pradeep,
not possible to use ranking since Appraisal rating is a characterstics not a key figure value. Any other suggestions..
Thanks

RRi for query using ABAP program

For a report, we are using RRI (jump to target) functionality to see invoices in R/3 system using an ABAP program. I do not have much idea on R/3 systems how invoices are setup in R/3 Dev, test and prod. The ABAP report is done by a backend person. I need to place that in RSBBS. Here, my doubt is that do we need to follow the same procedure for this to move it to production system i.e, first create that RRI and ABAP in respective dev systems and transport both to test and then to Prod? Could anyone please explain me the steps on how this will work in real-time?
Points will be assigned.
Thanks

Hi,
I am not able to find how the two reports are conncted.
You can check in RSBBS t-code. RRI will be defined here to jump from One Query yo another and many more options.
My work is to copy the parent query a nd do some modification to it. Please let me know how to check and achieve that.
You can do this BEx Query Designer itself.

Suman
