Thanks,

hi,
ABAP Query is an ABAP Workbench tool that enables users without knowledge of the ABAP programming language to define and execute their own reports.
In ABAP Query, you enter texts and select fields and options to determine the structure of the reports. Fields are selected from functional areas and can be assigned a sequence by numbering.

whereas the Report Painter enables you to report on data from various applications. It uses a graphical report structure that forms the basis for the report definition. When defining the report, you work with a structure that corresponds to the final structure of the report when the report data is output.

Report Painter and SAP Query

Can someone explain to me output differences between the above two?
Thanks, n point will be awarded

Hi,
ABAP Queries are extremely useful: they can retrieve data from tables and logical databases alike. ABAP Queries permit a snapshot' of the current R/3 data.
SAP has made it possible for R/3 users to develop queries using little, if any, ABAP code. However, knowing table and fields (data schema) and some SQL knowledge (outer-joins/inner-joins, etc.) is still required.
ABAP Query reports are typically simple listing and totaling reports (unlike a balance sheet or an income statement requiring complex groupings for example, a cash or revenue line consisting of several accounts on a financial statement). Such complex groupings require the query to read various tables multiple times to appropriately total and sort the accounts. For complex tasks such as this, the other R/3 tools (such as Report Painter which uses sets for these groupings) are better suited for reports with complex and integrated groupings.
Thanks,

Report Painter and Report Query

Hi,
Can some body explain me the difference between Report painter and report queries. How these are diffrent from ABAP prgram and ABAP queries. Who are the persons who are using all these like functional consultant or ABAPer or End users.
Regards
RKG.

Hi
Report Painter is mainly used by CO functional consultants for generating reports using variables, Key fugures and sets. This is a SAP standard functionality.
ABAB Queries / Report queries are created by Abapers and Functional consultants , this is mainly to join two or more tables run a query on the available data in the table and get the reports
ABAP program are complete program which are the coding language of SAP, where a program can be created for a new functionality which is not available in SAP . However the data required for this program has to available in SAP.

Report region with sql query

Hi
I have a report region with sql query. There are two regions in page. On top of page, user enters data and after that second region show enterd data which is report region
based on sql query.
Now,when this page is opned, as user had not entered any thing, report region shows "no data found" message. Is it possible to remove that message or
may i conditionally disaply report region i.e if data is inserted then only report region is dispalyed.
Thanks

>
i was trying with select count(1) in expression.
>
Just for your info, COUNT() (without any grouping obviously) with always return 1 row. If there are no result for the query then 1 row will be returned with a value of zero - so there are results returned.
Secondly, why were you using COUNT(1) rather than COUNT(*)? That is is faster is a very common misconception and not true. If you need to know how many rows have been returned, use COUNT(*). If you need to take nulls into account (ie. not include them in your count) then use COUNT(column_name) and name the column that you are interested in specifically.

[Forum FAQ] How do I disable all subscriptions without disabling Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent?

Introduction
There is the scenario that users configured hundreds of subscriptions for reports. Now they want to disable all the subscriptions, but Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent service should be enable, so the subscriptions will not delivery reports to users
and users could run the reports and create jobs on the server.
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we need to list all subscriptions and their schedules by running query, then use loop statement to disable all the subscription schedules by Job name.
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server instance, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.
Type Server name and select Authentication, click Connect.
Click New Query in menu to open a new Query Editor window.
List all subscriptions and their schedules by running the following query:
Use ReportServer
go
SELECT c.[Name] ReportName,
s.ScheduleID JobName,
ss.[Description] SubscriptionDescription,
ss.DeliveryExtension SubscriptionType,
c.[Path] ReportFolderPath,
row_number() over(order by s.ScheduleID) as rn
into
#Temp
FROM
ReportSchedule rs
INNER JOIN Schedule s ON rs.ScheduleID = s.ScheduleID
INNER JOIN Subscriptions ss ON rs.SubscriptionID = ss.SubscriptionID
INNER JOIN [Catalog] c ON rs.ReportID = c.ItemID AND ss.Report_OID = c.ItemID
select * from #temp
Use the loop statement to disable all the subscription schedules by Job name:
DECLARE
@count INT,
@maxCount INT
SET @COUNT=1
SELECT @maxCount=MAX(RN)
FROM
#temp
DECLARE
@job_name VARCHAR(MAX)
WHILE @COUNT <=@maxCount
BEGIN
SELECT @job_name=jobname FROM #temp WHERE RN=@COUNT
exec msdb..sp_update_job @job_name = @job_name,@enabled = 0
SET @COUNT=@COUNT+1 P
RINT @job_name
END
PRINT @COUNT
Reference
SQL Agent – Disable All Jobs
Applies to
Reporting Services 2008
Reporting Services 2008 R2
Reporting Services 2012
Reporting Services 2014
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Report Painter or ABAP Query

Hi,
I have to create one report with the use of three different Tables. is it possible to create in Report Painter or Report Writer or ABAP Query? or i need to customize that report with ABAPers?
Can anybody please tell me for Report Painter and Report writer, can i use Two Tables?
and in ABAP query how i can create the report?
I'll really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Niki Shah

Hello Niki
You create a query based on an info-set. Info sets are special views of a dataset so can be :
- Table joins ( more than one table)
- Single tables
- Logical data bases (view of the database)
You create a report painter from a library which is based only on a single totals table.

Bold a single row in a Report based on SQL Query

Should be easy? So, how do I bold a single row in a report based on SQL query without creating a new template or writing Java for the page? What is the Tabular Form Element "Element Attributes" field for? Or what am I supposed to put in there to make it do anything?

One way to do this is to add a hidden column to your report which contains the formatting value, for example:
select empno
, ename
, sal
, decode(empno,1,'font-weight:bold','font-weight:normal') style
from emp
Hide the STYLE column.
Then you can use this column for each column in Column Formatting > HTML expression in this way:
#SAL#
Unfortunately you have to do this for each colum you want to appear bold.
good luck,
Dirk Dral

Modes and Methods in Tag Query and SQL Query

Hi,
Can someone explain me about the modes available in TAG Query and SQL Query.
TAG Query has modes such as Current, CurrentWrite, GroupList, History, HistoryEvent, ModeList, Statistics and TagList
SQL Query i still have doubt on FixedQuery with output , Modelist and TableList
I also need to know why methods are used?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Muzammil

I'll try to explain to the best of my knowledge :
TagQuery
Current : Gives you the current value of the Tag you are reading.
CurrentWrite : Let you write a Value as the Current Value of the Tag.
GroupList : Generally Tags are grouped under different groups. Returns you the name of the Groups.
From the xMII Help Document :
History : History Mode returns interpolated data. Interpolation can be accomplished by specifying either the # of rows desired or the retrieval resolution. If the mode is "History" and a value is provided for the Resolution parameter (which is in seconds), the connector will retrieve evenly-spaced values starting at the beginning of the time interval, up to the maximum # of rows specified in the RowCount parameter. If no value is provided for the Resolution parameter, the connector will return an evenly-spaced number of values based on the value of the RowCount parameter.
For example, if the time interval is 1 hour, Resolution is 15, and RowCount is 240, the connector will return evenly spaced values each 15 seconds, up to 240 values (which would span the entire hour).
If the time interval is 1 hour, Resolution is not provided or is set to zero, and RowCount is 120, the connector would return 120 evenly spaced values, at an effective interval of 30 seconds.
HistoryEvent Mode : The connector can provide historical values "as they were stored" the database. This mode provides no interpolation of values.
Statistics Mode : When retrieving data for statistical calculations, the connector utilizes the same techniques as in the "HistoryEvent" mode. It is important to note that the first two returning columns in the HistoryEvent query must be the timestamp and the value, in that order. The SAP xMII Statistical processor expects that order, or errors will occur. This ensures precision of statistical measurements, particularly time-weighted average, by using the exact storage time and values from the historical database. The SAP xMII system provides the statistical calculations.
Modelist : Basically returns the modes of the Query Available. The Data returned is same as the data in the Modes list in the Quert Template Editor.
Taglist : Returns all the Tags in the Datasource.
SQL Query
Modelist : Same as above.
TableList : List of all the tables in the database to which the connector connects.
Again from SAP xMII Help Documentation :
FixedQueryWithOutput : This mode is used to execute an Oracle stored procedure or function that returns a REF CURSOR as output. The position of the REF CURSOR is marked by a "?" in the query. For example:
Create a table.
create table usage (id int, name varchar(50));
insert into usage (id, name) values (1, 'test1');
insert into usage (id, name) values (2, 'test2');
insert into usage (id, name) values (3, 'test3');
insert into usage (id, name) values (4, 'test4');
insert into usage (id, name) values (5, 'test5');
insert into usage (id, name) values (6, 'test6');
insert into usage (id, name) values (7, 'test7');
insert into usage (id, name) values (8, 'test8');
Define the stored procedure.
DROP PACKAGE foopkg;
CREATE PACKAGE foopkg IS
TYPE cursortype is ref cursor;
PROCEDURE test (mycursor in out cursortype);
END foopkg;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY foopkg IS
PROCEDURE test (mycursor in out cursortype) AS
BEGIN
open mycursor for select * from usage;
END;
END foopkg;

Define a query template for calling the stored procedure. Enter the following in the FixedQuery tab:
call foopkg.test(?)
This template returns all rows from the Usage table.

Differences Between Report Painter and Report Writer

Hi,
Anyone knows the differences between report painter and report writer?
Thanks,
CW

Hello CW Teo,
Yes report writer can be used in logistics also. One of the way which I am aware of is described below.
Flexible analyses allow you to can tailor the way in which key figures are combined and aggregated. This means that it is possible to both provide administrators with detailed information and management with aggregated information.
Flexible analyses enable easy access to the Report Writer, a user-friendly tool with which you can create reports for various analyses. The Report Writer is integrated in other SAP applications, such as Extended General Ledger and Cost Center Accounting.
Evaluation structures form the interface to the Report Writer. Evaluation structures consist of characteristics and key figures and are easy to construct.An evaluation structure with the same name exists for each information structure in the standard system.Even the self-defined information structures created in Customizing can be evaluated via the flexible analyses.
Evaluations:You can create an evaluation on the basis of the evaluation structure.
To define an evaluation, all you need to do is select the characteristics and key figures you require (pick-up technique).One of the especially useful features here is that you have the option of tailoring the layout of your report to suit your particular requirements. You can also define extra key figures for the reports, which are derived from existing key figures by means of calculation formulas. You can thereby multiply the key figures or divide one key figure by another.
============================================================
In addition to the above you can also edit a report in logistics module with the help of a report writer. below mentioned is the process for it.
It is now possible to edit your report data using the Report Writer. You can also change the layout of the report. The most important functions of the layout design are summarized below.
Summation levels:In the report screen, you can use the menu sequence View ->Summation level to specify the number of summation used to calculate total values. All totals that do not lie within the specified interval will be hidden. A summation level corresponds to a hierarchical level (for example, material level). Summation level 1 is the lowest hierarchical level. Summation level 2 is the next level up, and so on. The individual values are on the summation level 0.
The summation levels can be specified both universally (for the entire report) or locally (for specific blocks of rows). In this case, the local settings overwrite global values.
Report views:If a report is displayed on the screen, the Report Writer will then set page breaks so that exactly one page fits into the current window. This view will be defined as the standard view. As the Report Writer always processes exactly one page, you can only use the page keys and page icons to page up and down; the scroll bars cannot be used.
The page view can be determined via Settings-> Page view. The page breaks in the page view correspond to those defined in the report layout.
Hide and show rows:The function Edit->Hide rows exclude certain preselected areas of your report from the display. You can undo this command with Edit ® Show rows.
Expanding and collapsing report rows:View-> Hierarchy->Collapse allows you to hide the report rows of the sub-trees that are located underneath. View->Hierarchy ->Expand allows you to undo this command level by level.
If you want to display all the report rows that were hidden by collapsing the hierarchy or restricting the summation levels, select, View->Hierarchy-> Expand all.
View->Collapse all allows you to reduced every row block to the highest summation level.
Texts and Annotations:You can create an annotation for your report.
Select: Extras->Annotation.
You branch into the text editor of the Report Writer.
Via the menu sequence Settings->Texts, you can create and format a title page, the last page, as well as headers and footers using word processing functions.
For example, you can store variables in the header for the author of the report, the date of the selection or the name of the person who last changed the report.
Layout parameters:Using the menu sequence Settings->Layout you can specify the page format, display form, rows and columns of the report according to your needs and you can determine the settings for the graphics function. You can make these layout settings with Report->Save settings.
Hope I had been able to help you to some extent. please assign points as reward.

Crystal Reports 10 Datasource Location and SQL Query update

I am running Crystal Reports 10 accessing SQL Server 2008 database on Windows 7. Our product changed database names and I'm trying to update reports to point to the new database. Sounds nice and simple. The database has no structure changes yet, it's just a copy and rename of the old database. Both databases exist, same SQL instance, same permissions, etc. ...
Existing working report:
   Has an ODBC (RDO) location to database DbVersion1
   If I run Show SQL Query, the database name is in the query text (i.e. FROM DbVersion1.dbo.MyTable)
Attempted:
   In Set Database Location popup, I created a new ODBC (RDO) connection to database DbVersion2
   Updated Current Data Source for report to this new ODBC (RDO) connection.
   Ran Verify Database. Popup stated "The database is up to date."
But when I run "Show SQL Query", is still shows DbVersion1 in the text, and the report displays data from DbVerison1. When I display the Datasource Location for the report, it shows DbVersion2 as I changed to above. How do I "refresh" the SQL Query to recognize the new Datasource Location?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,
A possible couple of issues, CR 10 doesn't support SQL Server 2008 and it doesn't support Windows 7. We had to update CR XI R2 SP 6 and above to make SQL 2008 work. MS changed the name of their client dll so CR is not aware of the new drivers.
MDAC native driver may work but not sure....
Try OLE DB, it may work better.
Thanks
Don
