RSZDELETE - Delete queries and Workbooks problem

Hi
in BW 3.x we were able to delete the queries and workbooks with transaction RSZDELETE ;however in NW2004s we are not able to delete this,is there any limitation or this feature has been changed to another transaction ??
Please help.

Hi Kevin,
It's still there. As Prakash has suggested, the note must be applied. On a similar topic for the tcode rszc please bear in mind this will be enhanched in SPS 10.
Oss note 981104.
Cheers,

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.

Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks

Hi,
Migration of bex 3.x queries and workbooks to Bex 7.1 queries and workbooks.
For instance when you edit,open an 3.x query in 7.0 query designer it is automatically migrated.Would it be same if we open it in 7.1 query designer?Is it possible to migrate queries and workbooks without any fail or deletion or loss?
Thank you.

I will add to the already excellent suggestions made above that the migration from Bex 3.x to Bex 7.0 is VERY laborious. There are no automated tools.
All queries and workbooks must be identified (use this as an opportunity to get rid of unused objects)
Each query must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as needed.
Each Workbook must be converted to BI 7 and repairs done as well. The "Automated" conversion tool that SAP provides (it's behind the scenes Visual Basic) presents problems with at least 50% of the workbooks, and so they have to be manually fussed with.
If you've used Visual Basic at all in your Workbooks, you'll have to change 'em all. The On Refresh event no longer exists.
And of course, test... test.. test.. and test.
And don't forget to retrain your users. The User interface is dramatically different.
Good luck ! We're 3 months in to a five month conversion project.

Bex Default template for Queries and Workbooks

Dear All,
We have a default template for all queries and workbooks.But this default template was created using a AP query and saved as a workbook.Now all the users having AR role are not able to execute queries or workbooks.Since this default template has a AP info provider associated with it.Is it possible convert this default workbook to a generic one without any security restrictions.Please provide a solution.

In Bex analyzer, you have option to convert a template into a default template.
Or you can create a copy of the existing template without AP infoproviders and assign it as default template.

Permissions for Planning functions, queries and workbooks

Hello experts,
i have a short question about permissions in SAP BW and BW-IP. How can I restrict the execution of planning functions/sequences and queries or workbooks?
Thanks and regards!

Hello,
If you record an authorization log for your planning sequence you can see what objects are checked and this should help you to create authorizations to restrict access:
To record authorization logs for planning sequences, you have to go to RSECADMIN, activate that trace for the user and run the planning sequence as usual. See detailed steps below:
1. Activate the authorization log
- Go to RSECADMIN transaction
- change to "Analysis" tab and click on "Error logs" button.
- There you can see the "Configure Log Recording". Click on it.
- It will open a new screen, add the user which need to has the authorization log recorded.
- save it.
2. Open a new windows and execute the planning sequence.
- you can use the RSPLS_PLSEQ_EXECUTE report in se38 or other way to run it
3. Deactivate the authorization log recording
- following the same steps to activate the log, delete the user which you added in the step 1.
4. Check the authorization log
- Go back to RSECADMIN transaction
- change to "Analysis" tab and click on "Error logs" button.
- select the time interval to find your authorization log (or delete selections to see all)
- click on "display" button
- find your recorded log
- double click on it to open the log
- analyze it.

Relationship between Queries and Workbooks

Hi All
I know I should know the answer to this but its been a while since I did my Queries Course.
What is the best way to find out how many Workbooks are connected to a Query.
The reason I am asking is that I have to convert a load of Workbooks from 3.5 to 7.
I have got a list of all queries run in the last year, now I want to make sure I get all associated Workbooks.
Thanks in advance.

John,
Compile a list of all your queries and feed them as a selection to the COMPID field in the RSRREPDIR table.
Take the GENUNIID from the table result and use it as input to the GENUNIID field for the table RSRWORKBOOK. This should give you a list of workbooks associated with your Queries.
Use the above result and feed as input to WORKBOOKID field of table RSRWBINDEXT to get the Workbook Desricptions.
Hope this helps.

How to detach/delete queries from workbooks

One of our users has a huge workbook with over 200 queries. He wanted to remove part of the queries but instead of deleting the queries he removed the excel tabpages with the queries as a result of wich the connection with the queries is still there.
Is there a way to remove the connected queries without having to remove all queries ?
Refreshing all queries is not an option.
I also tried to remove the records in table RSRWORKBOOK but this also didn't remove the connection, after opening and saving the workbook in Bex, the removed records in RSRWORKBOOK appeared in the table again.

Hi Tine.
Try to add this VB code to the WB:
<i>Sheets("SAPBEXqueries").visible = True
To make it quite invisible again, the command is:
Sheets("SAPBEXqueries").visible = xlSheetVeryHidden</i>
This makes the sheets with the information used in the workbook visible (you will find the queries in sheet 1). You can try to delete the queries from here. I don't know if it works, but just an idea.
Hope it helps.

Assigning Queries and workbooks to user roles

Hi Guys,
I was hoping that someone could explain, how the queries, workbooks and Web Templates can be assigned to roles.
What are the steps involved in creating the roles and assigning the queries.
How are these reports accessed by the users (by URLs or through SAP GUI) If I would want to use the URLs to access them, how do I open the workbooks?
I seem to have a lot of questions, hope to find answers to a few of them.
Thanks,
Doniv

Hi Doniv,
Queries, workbooks and web templates can be assigned to roles during the time that they are being saved. The assignment can also take place in PFCG > role. These kind of roles are usually basic placeholders that are assigned to different users as per requirements. This ensures that the usersa can see only those objects which are on the roles assigned to them.
The workbooks are not accessed by a URL in the internet explorer, they are accessed in the BEx Analyser.
Hope this helps...

Delete Cascade and Composition problem.

As it's well known into a DB You can have more than one Fk and more than one FK could have Delete cascade set.
A typical situation is an intersection table between 2 tables wich solves a N to M relationship.
In BC4J is impossible to manage that situation because Delete Cascate is related to composition and composition tries to lock the owning entity (JBO-25030) however if we try to get the detail row from a ViewLink the other one is invalid and viceversa.
How can I solve that issue ?
I read the Steve's http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2003/01/17/whyDoIGetTheInvalidownerexception but we normaly don't know, at the create monent all values (the user should select them) and then the createAndInitRow is not a good solution.
Could someone help.
TIA
Tullio

I've the same Problem and solved it the following way:
Assuming you have the following VOs:
MasterView1
MasterView2
IntersectionView
and two Associations of the composition type (each with the Cascading Delete Option between them):
Ma1InterAssoc
Ma2InterAssoc
If you first select a row in MasterView1 and in MasterView2 you can create a new Row in IntersectionView as both "owning Entities" now have a valid current row. BC4J automatically creates the keys to the two Master Entities for you in the Intersection Entity.
MasterView1Impl vo1 = getMasterView1();
vo1.selectMyRow(...);
vo1.executeQuery();
vo1.next();
MasterView2Impl vo2 = getMasterView2();
vo2.selectMyRow(...);
vo2.executeQuery();
vo2.next();
IntersectionView detVo = getIntersectionView);
Row detRow = detVo.createRow()
detRow.setValueX(...); // it is important to set at least one value!!
detVo.insertRow(detRow);
This method works well since JDeveloper 9.0.3, but unfortunately it is not officially supported by Oracle, so you do it on your own risk :(
Hope it helps

This authorization objects are related to save the workbooks but my requirement not to save and as well as not to display the queries.
Please advise me what needs to be done to achieve this requirement.
Thanks
Robert.

Deleted Utilties and CD problems - Completly stuck

hi there,
I writing this from my girlfriend who uses an Apple MacBook, OS X 10.4.11 Intel Core Duo.
She once deleted the the "Utilties" folder and seems also to have problems with her CD drive.
As I am "PC" I have no glue how to fix those kind of issues in the Apple world. I created a Linux (Knoppix) bootable CD which works perfect on my Windows machine. I tried to use the same CD to boot from it on the MacBook.
I read in several forums to boot from CD you need to press "C", when you hear the start up sound. I realize that the mac tries to read the cd, but drops out the CD after a while. As my girlfriend said, that CD is not working in general anylonger (she thinks it is realted with the deletion of the utilties folder), I thought I will install Linux (Knoppix 6.2) on a USB-stick and boot from USB (holding the ALT key, when starting up)
When booting up with alt key, it only shows the hard disc to boot from...
... so i googled for a solution for this, and I found in a mac forum people where talking about rEFIt (http://refit.sourceforge.net/). So we downloaded that.
There they say you need to run that "rEFIt.mpkg" file. But the Mac does not recognize mpkg files anylonger as it seams that Apple Installer is missing.
So I googled for that - I found a guy who said to install Apple Installer, you need to have Apple Installer?
It looks like that we are stuck now...
... any ideas what we could do now??
Thank's a lot,
Dominik

Hi Dominik, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Do you have an External CD/DVD reader you could use on the Mac?
Without another Mac around, I think you could try these things...
MacDrive for your PCs... allows them to Read/Write & Format HFS+...
http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/
Copy/image the Install Disc to a USB drive or stick.
Get Pacifist, the ZIP version...
http://www.charlessoft.com/
then extract/install what you need from her Install Disc/USB Pen copy.

' Character present in BEx queries and Workbooks

Hi Guys,
I've got a problem with the ' character when executing a query or workbook.
This character only becomes apparent when clicking on a cell (appears in the formula bar in excel) (usually apears in cells which does not have a value).
This character is proving problematic for users referencing the report results in other excel sheets.
Is there any way I can get rid of this?
Thanks,
DeVilliers

Delete the link between the BEx Query and workbook

Hi Experts,
I have a workbook it contains 6 querirs, now i want to delete both.
insteated of delete the first queries in workbook, i deleted directly workbook.
now its not allowing me to delete queries.
i think internally it will maintain a link in some table and there was a programme to delete that link between the queries and workbooks.
Please let me know the programme name which we can delete the links between the queries and workbooks.
Thanks,
Babu

Before even going for changing the table entries.
You can go to query and do "Where used" list if it refers only to the same workbook(which you deleted) then it may be inconsistency.
But the chances are the query is used in workbook or WAD etc and is present in someone else's favorites so that would make the workbook void.

This is very urgent
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
May be you are telling is correct but i am unable to follow..
Please correct if my understanding is wrong....
1. I have Created one BEx Truck Request...it is not Released so far..So, it is there in SE09 of BW DEV
2. Selected Queried and work books --- Grouping --- Only necessary objects -- Collection mode -- automatic...(Default all queries and workbooks selected as check box)
3. Click Transport truck (Which is beside of Grouping Option)..
4. Created one request and then released... But not imported into BW Production..
5. Now I have modified all the queried (Change text)
6. RSA1 -- Transport connection -- Selected modified queried...
7. Grouping only necessary objects and collected mode --automatic...
8. Selected modified queries and dragged into right side...
My question here is they are not checked check box under transport?...shall i check it?
Shall i release Old BEx Request? and then before transporting these new modified queries Create another BEx Request?
or else..
Create new request for modified Queries? and then transport?
Now the situation is i have already created transport request for modified queries..What to do? shall i release them also?...
Pls suggest me....
