Report result with multiple queries

Hi,
I need to achieve a report result by using two different webi queries which are based on same universe.
I can't merge the "City" information because they're detail objects. (Attribute of a nav. attr. in BEx).
In the scenario below, if I remove City (Query1), KPI-2 can be displayed. However, I need to use both "City" detail from both queries.
Any suggestions for this?
City (Query1) | City (Query2) | KPI-1 (Query1) | KPI-2 (Query2)
A A 10 20
Thank you!

Hi,
try to merge the common dimension object for both city1 and city2 dimension.then drag the merge dimension objects in the report with city1 and city2.and see data is coming or not.
if data is coming then you can hide the common dimension object in the report.
Thanks,
Amit

Bursting a report with multiple queries

Hi,
I need to set-up bursting in BIP for a report with multiple queries. The output format is pdf and delivery is through e-mail. Since the queries need to be linked, I'm trying to do this using data template. I've set-up split and burst based on a field (store_id) from the first query which is used as a bind variable in the subsequent queries. So I'd ideally want the report to be split based on store_id. The report works fine if I use a parameter for store_id and view the output by store_id. When I try to schedule the report for bursting, it generates and e-mails the reports but only the last report appears to have correct data output while the others have only the output from the first query (and all other queries appear to return nothing in the report).
Any suggestions on what could be the issue here? Thanks!
Here is the data template for the report:

Hello user6428199,
When you use ":Q1_STORE_ID" in your queries, BI Publisher looks for a report parameter named Q1_STORE_ID. Change all your report queries to get data for all the store_id's available. As you are bursting the report using the store_id as the bursting key, BI Publisher will split the report based on the stored_id and delivers content based on it. No matter how many queries you may have, BI Publisher will loop through all the store_id's available and all the queries will return data for that particular id in a report.
Thanks,
Machaan

Report with Multiple queries too slow in BI Publisher 11g

Hi, I have a report in 11g where i need to create multiple queries to show them in report. I tried to combine everything in one query, but i found that the query is too huge and hard to understand and maintain. I created 3 data sets and linked them together. In SQL dev, the main query is returning about 315 records and first detail query returns less than 100 records and second detail query is returning one record which is BLOB. Each query returns data within a couple of seconds from SQL Developer. The entire report from BI Publisher should be just 21 page PDF output. Did anyone face performance issues while running reports with multiple queries in 11g? I ran reports that have single query which returned 10K pages PDF and never had an issue while everthing is in one query. This is the first time Iam attempting to create multiple queries. Can someone help me understand what i might be doing wrong or missing here. Thank you.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.

Creating report with multiple queries in clear quest

Hi,
I am new to reports and currently working with creating reports that connect to clear quest(CQ).
I have successfully created several reports, that connect to the CQ, but they all have data from only one query.
Now I am trying to create a slightly complex report where I need to fetch data from multiple queries. All these queries use 2 parameter to filter their data. I have dynamic cascading parameters to get them. When just connecting they all work ok. I used the link tab to link them to two fields of one query, to make sure that they all filter to fields from same query.
The problem is when I drop the fields from the various queries on the form, the data is fetched multiple times.
I also played with links to make them outer links but in that case I get error and unable to run the report completely.
Any ideas on how to work with multiple queries and provide same parameters to all of the queries?
Thanks in advance.
-PAP

- How do I make sure that the relationship is not one to many?
You don't. That's the nature of the data. For example a single person can order multiple items. A simple one to many relationship.
- In the link tab, I can only point to queries, is there a way I can point the fields to report params?
You should be seeing tables... I think you're having a tough time with the basic terminology.
- How does these Enforce Joins (4 options) work.
There is rarely if ever any reason to switch from the default "not enforced". Leave it alone. The only one you'll touch 90% of the time is the Join Type.
PAP,
Based on the questions you're asking, it sounds like you are missing some major database fundamentals. My suggestion would be to step away from CR for the time being and read a little bit about relational databases (what makes them relational) and database normalization. This will also give you an idea about the various join types and when to use one over the other.
You can know every feature and function in CR, but until you have at least a basic knowledge of how data relates, you'll never pull in the data you need.

Poor Performance 7.0 Workbook with multiple queries

Hi all,
I've got the following issue. Our users have workbooks which contain serveral queries on different sheets. (One on each workbook sheet)
When a workbook contains 5 or more queries, the overall workbook performance will decrease drastically. Workbook with 8 or more queries result in time-outs and messages like unsufficient shared memory.
Does anyone have the same kind of problems with multiple queries in a Bex 7.0 workbook? Do any one have a solution?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Ron

Bill,
Tried to make a workbook according to your advise. It certainly makes a difference in workbook size. The new workbook is 50% smaller than the older version based on the standard SAP template.
However, my workbook contains 17 queries, and after 5 minutes it breaks the BW connection. So basic conclusion is that BW 7.0 workbook can't work with a large number of dataproviders/ queries. This did work in BEx BW 3.x.
If any one has any other suggestion, more than welcome.
Cheers,
Ron

Scheduled Report - Bug with Multiple Selection LOV parameter

Problem:
I have a scheduled report with a parameter that has it's "Multiple Selection" checkbox checked. I schedule the report with multiple values selected. When I receive the report via email, the report ran as if I only selected one LOV value instead of multiple values.
Facts:
1) Enterprise version 10.1.3.2.1
2) When you run the report manually with multiple values selected in the LOV, it runs great with the correct dataset.
3) This scheduled report does not have a Data Template.
James
P.S. - I searched this forum for other treads on this issue. I didn't find any. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

I have this same problem, too.
When I select multiple parameters on the "View" screen for a given report, everything works fine.
When I schedule it, however, only the last parameter I clicked on (regardless of whether a select a range or multiple individual values) is passed to the query. The other selections I make are ignored.
What gives? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

Workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs

Scenario: There is a workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs.
In 3.x, it was possible to refresh only a select query within the WB but I'm not finding this to be the case in the NW04s BEx Analyzer. It seems that it will always refresh all queries on all tabs.
Do any of you know a way around this?

Hi Bigtoja (and others).
This is not possible in BI/2004s.
Please refer to https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004483762006E page 23. It seems that it will be implemented in a stack sometime in 2008.

Results of multiple queries in one report

Hi
I would like to create one report with multiple rows and each row should display result of a different query.
I guess I can use multiple report on one region or multiple regions in one place.
(1)However is there a more elegant way of creating a single report look and feel...eg like it would happen in excel.
(2)Is it better to have one page with multiple regions or multiple reports in one region.
Thanks
Faizi

I'm not sure if it suite your needs,
but maybe you can use UNION in your queries to get them together in one report ??
Second option:
Denes did great work and he created some how-to about putting mulitple reports in one region:

Hope this helps.

Single report with multiple queries OR multiple reports with single query

Hello Experts,
I have a confusion regarding Live Office connection for many days. I asked many people but did not get a concrete answer. I am re-posting this question here and expecting an answer this time.
The product versions that I am using are as follows:
FrontEnd:
BOE XI 3.1 SP4 FP 4.1
Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP4
Backend:
SAP BW 7.0 EHP1
I have created a dashboard which is getting data from a webi report using LO connections.
The webi report has five report parts which are populated by five different queries.
Now my question is, when the five LO connections are refreshed, is the webi report refreshed five times or just once?
If the report is refreshed five times, then I guess it is better to have five different webi reports containing single report part, because in that way we can prevent same query being executed multiple times.
SO what is the best practice- to have a single report having multiple queries - OR - to create multiple webi reports with single query?
Thanks and Regards,
PASG

HI
I think Best Practice is Multiple reports with single query
Any way If LO connections refresh 5 time the query will refresh 5 timesRegards

Matrix report with Multiple queries

I have created one cross product group containing 4 subgroups under a single query. Now I have another one query seperately to be joined with the matrix query. Also I have one formula column and summary column with this the cross product group. The logic is if formula condition is true the it should take the 2nd query value in the place holder column otherwise it should take the first query value. is it possible?
If any one knows about this update me ASAP to [email protected]

How to mass print a report with multiple queries?

Dear All,
i want to precalclate a report (which includes 4 queries) to pdf for printing. Because i have to print it for all profitcenter (~200), i want to use the filter navigation.
Because this isn't possible for reports, i inserted my report using a report item to a web template.
When i call the web template direct, everything works fine, but if i precalculate the web template using the bex broadcaster, only one query is parameterized. The second one seems to use the global variant (the sum of all profitcenter).
Any Idea? Do i have to change an export web template and add some data provider? I am not absolutely sure which is the right export template for an report in a web template...
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hey all,
nobody an idea of a possible approach.

Order of the Merged Prompts with Multiple Queries

Hi,
I have a WEBI XI 3.0 document that contains multiple queries.
One of the queries in the document has the following prompts in this order:
"Date:"
"Time:"
"Time zone:"
"Address:"
Another query in the document has the following prompts in this order:
"Date:"
"Time:"
"Name:"
"Address:"
If I do a Refresh All in the document, the prompts are merged and displayed in the following order:
"Date:"
"Time:"
"Time zone:"
"Address:"
"Name:"
However, I want "Address:" to be the last prompt displayed:
"Date:"
"Time:"
"Time zone:"
"Name:"
"Address:"
Is there a way to specify the order of the merged prompts?

To define the particular order of the prompts all the prompts should be at the universe level or at the report level.
As all the prompts defined at the universe level will appear first in alphabetical order and then the report level prompts will appear also sorted alphabetically.
In your case if possible create the prompt of Address at the report level and other prompts at the universe level it will automatically appear as the last one when you refresh all the queries.
Else you can change the prompt string to define the particular order.
@Prompt('1. Enter Date'.....)
@Prompt('2. Enter Time'.....)
@Prompt('3. Enter Time Zone....)
@Prompt('4. Enter Name'....)
@prompt('5. Enter Address'...)
Note: All the above prompts should be created either at the report level or universe level.

Running report and get the report result with coding

Hi all,
In our R/3 system, there is a custom sales report.
My question is: is there possibility to get data by running this report and grab it the result with code and store it in internal table?
Sorry if my question too basic because I am not abaper
I am just wondering to find new solution for my project.
Regards,
Steph

My requirement is: I want to get the result from this report
(rather than try to get the data from SAP original table, because this report is very complicated with a lot of selection data) and use it this result into my new program.
The mechanism that I want is pull the result from the current report, not to add some code in current report to push into new program, to avoid changed the report.
Btw, the output of this report not only the excel file, we can also run this report on foreground mode and see the result.
The report is not ALV report.
Regards,
Steph

BEx Broadcaster - Using a Workbook with multiple queries on different tabs

Hi,
I was wondering if any has used Bex Broadcaster to broadcast a workbook that contains multiple queries on different tabs in the workbook. I believe someone has mentioned that this was an issue in the past and I was wondering if this now a possibility with Bex Broadcaster
If you were able to do this successfully, please let me know.
Thanks

Hello
Of course it is possible.
But, if you want to broadcast a workbook, you have to use a Precalculation Server.
Without precalculation server, workbooks cannot be precalculated and broadcasted.
More details, please check the note below:
