SAP BW Bex and Query Element Tables

Hi,
Can someone please help me in finding out the table where actually the Bex Elements ( rows, columns , free characteristics and key figures ) stored.Is there a single place in BW where I can extract this information easily ( without runing the Bex Query).
Thanks ,
Purbali

Hi Purbali,
No actually there is no single place when it is coming to BEx query elements. There are many tables where these are stored.
The very basic tables are:
RSRREPDIR - Directory of all queries
RSZELTDIR - Queries elements
However it is not easy to sort those tables. Also useful transaction is RSRTQ (ABAP report RSRQ_QUERYDEFINITION) which provides a lot of info on queries w/o running the query or opening it in BEx Quert Designer.
cheers

Transport Query and Query elements

Dear all,
I have a questions regarding transportation of a Query. When I transport the Query from the transport connection should I ticked also the Query elements or not?
What happend if I choose just some of the Query elements?
Thanks

Hi.
You should select query elements.
Otherwise some changed elements will not be transported correctly.
Let's say you changed RKF and not selected such element in transport connection - in this case the change in RKF will not be transported.

Query elements tables

Hi all,
I have made a transport release ,obviously it failed due to an element not available in active version and another element is missing.
now i have the ID's of these two element. i have to know the object to that id in query.
help please.
regards,
rakesh.

Hi,
Instead of finding the objects related to those technical object IDs, you can transport the query again with all the elements captured in the transport request.
In transport connection, while capturing the query make sure that you have captured all the elements. When you save a query into request, filter on objects with "ELEM". This will give you all the elements.

XI--- R/3 scenario: directly access and query a Y-table in R/3

Hi forum,
I need to make a XI--->R/3 scenario, i want to access and query a table in R/3 (a Y transparent table),
i have been suggested to use a Sysnchronous call to BAPI/Function module, but i want to know whether there's a way i can access/query a Y-Table in the R/3 directly without using a function module in it,

hi sudeep,
to access a table in r/3 u can either go for an rfc or a server proxy.
>>whether there's a way i can access/query a Y-Table in the R/3 directly without using a function module in it,
do u mean querying the database directly? u "can" ofcourse do it but <b>shud never</b> access r/3 database directly.

BW (BEx) and BOBJ Reporting-Tools

Hi All,
I'm looking for an article or anything, that describes the difference between SAP BW (BEx) and Business Objects- Reporting tools .
which tools is suitable for what purpose?
thanks
brad

This isn't mine - it may even be yours - but just in case anyone looks at this thread, here it is
BO vs BEx
Ease of use:
BO - Very user friendly interface, Minimal requirement for MDX code, Some queries take more time in BO analysis, when compared to BEx Analyzer
BEx - Difficult self service reporting and analytics, Being Excel based, it needs extensive VBA or Macro programming for a great UI
Features:
BO - Export functionality (PDF, MSOffice etc), More chart types, Has more advanced features, Design and Preview Tab in the same page, Provides offline capabilities
BEx - Is mostly for SAP only but With integration can access BEx query from BO, Web App Designer is effort intensive, Build and preview are separate views
Support from SAP:
BO - Part of SAP integration roadmap, All current and future dev. in the BI front-end is focused on the SAP BO BI solutions, Crystal Reports is now main reporting tool, replacing BEx Report Designer
BEx - BEx is no longer the strategic direction, BEx product line will be phased out completely by 2016
Compatibility with other data source:
BO - Able to merge data from various sources in the same report, Can connect to any Database, very flexible in design
BEx - Gets data from BI
Implementation effort and ownership cost:
BO - Longer deployment period compared to BEx, Additional server needed, May require additional components setup for BW, May need separate license for Business Objects Enterprise (BOE) platform, BO uses OLEDB for OLAP API via BEx query, may cause an overhead, BW Accelerator may be needed to improve query response time, scalability and visibility.
BEx - Only MS office and BEx client are needed for installation, BEx is bundled with NetWeaver

Why query against table(dbms_xplan.display) take too long?

the env is PROD, version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi.
Most of the time, when I do explain plan and query the table(dbms_xplan.display), it takes like 3-8 minutes to display the result.
So, I wonder what might go wrong here?
How a simple query would take this long?
Any thought or guess are welcome.
Thanks

That is not an option here. I only have query privilege on PROD.
All I can do is to figure out the reason for the slowness and advise the fix.
Thanks.

Basic Flow Of SD and T-Codes , Tables

Hi
Im SA-BW Consultant . I want some basic knowledge for SD . I mean the flow of SD and Basica Tables and transactions .
Pls let me know

Hi Ravi Kumar,
SD Flow Cycle:
INQUIRY ( VA11)
|
QUOTATION (VA21)
|
PURCHASE ORDER (ME21)
|
ORDER CONFIRMATION (VA01)
|
PICKING LIST (VL36)
|

SD FLOW OVERVIEW:
Sales
Inquiry - A customers request to a company that they provide a quotation or sales information without obligation. An inquiry can relate to materials or services, conditions and if necessary delivery dates. The sales area that accepts the inquiry becomes responsible for further processing.
Quotation - A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer for delivering a product or providing a service within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the company within a specified time period. A sales area can reply to a customer inquiry with a customer quotation or use it to refer to a business partner contact.
Sales Order - Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time.
The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.
b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).
c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.
Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.

Standard Text and Text element

Hi Everyone,
Hope you all doing great.
What is the difference between SAP Stadard text and Text elements? When and where to use these?
I have got Terms and condition text for my quote O/P Document, Is it okay if i go with Standard text?
What is the Text ID i have to use?
Thank you
Kris

Hi
Difference between SAP Standard text and Text elements :
SAP Standard text : The standard texts which have been already created and can be created
Text Elements : They are the elements which are available in VOTXN and are assigned while configuring text determination

Designer support for Subquery against SAP BW Bex Query

BusinessObjects designer has an option in the paramaters window to turn on "Allow Sub-Queries" in a universe that has been created using a olap source. SAP BW BEX Query to be specific. Once turned on, you can build a query and the subquery button and functionality is actually enabled and allows you to build it. When running the query I get an error message "A filter contains a wrong value. You cannot run this query".
Now, I am pretty sure this functionality is not supported on a BW or OLAP source but, I can not find anything definitive from SAP stating that it is not supoorted. So I want to make sure that this is not one of those situations where everyone just says "It's not supported" but really just doesn't know. Does anyone have the official word or link to an SAP statement that this functionality is officially not supported.

What I would say is, it won't support. The reason could be, as its not support any structure view in universe designer, that means we cannot create any derived tables where we could use sql query.
I believe the same applies here too. Even if you look at LOV defintions in universe, it won't show any query.
So the same applies to reports.
Hope this helps.

Gowtham

Deleting Query Elements From Backend Tables

Hi All,
i have made some changes to a CKF and executed the report. It got executed but when i reopened the query i am not able to expand the RKF n CKFs on the left side. Whenever i tried to expand them the query designer is exiting.
I tried deleting the query element which i modified from the backend tables using RSZDELETE but i am not able to do so as this CKF is being used in 2 more RKFs.
Could you please let me know how to delete a query element which is reusable from the backend.
Regards,
MK

Hi Satyam,
I deleted the Query which was containing the CKF and RKF that i changed earlier. when i tried to delete these 2 by kFs in RSZDELETE i am not able to delete them.
Scenario 1:
when i tried to delete the CKF 1 ..the system is displaying msg tht this is being used in RKF 1.
when i tried to delete the RKF1..then system is displaying msg tht this is being used in CKF 1.
i mean there is a circular reference which has happened b/w these two KFs.
Could you let me know how to get rid of it as i am not able to open the Query in Bex nor in RSRT.
Regards,
MK

Connecting Crystal Reports to SAP BW BEx query

Post Author: mfrank
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
We have used Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to connect to an SAP BW BEx query in the past, however we are having some difficulties. Rather than trying to upgrade our old CE system, I've been told that we should be able to connect Crystal Reports (2008?) directly to the BW BEx query. I've been trying to accomplish this, but can't seem to find any drivers that will allow the connectivity. When I try to set up a connection using OLAP, the only two options listed are Hyperion and Microsoft OLAP. I have an old version of Brio Query (now Hyperion, now Oracle) that does show up with a driver for BW, but this doesn't show up in my Crystal options.
Can someone give me some advice as to how to connect Crystal Reports to SAP BW? I realize there are licensing issues with running live data without using Crystal Enterprise (or later BO products), but I'm just looking to print a report to a PDF.
Thanks

How to query a table join in SAP?

Hi,
We are rolling out SAP and our abapers are wondering how to debug production problems. From our experience with PeopleSoft, there is often a need to query tables directly in production. These queries are often joins. SAP provides SE16 to query a single table, but how to SDN'ers query a join in PROD?
For a basic example, how would you join a sales item and sales header? We are thinking of using Oracle OpenSQL to have direct table access. Solutions that somehow use SAP security for developers to access production are good!
Any suggestions are welcome and points will be rewarded!!
Peter

Peter,
Be careful if your company is large enough to have been impacted by Sarbanes-Oxley 404. Your external auditing firm should be engaged in whatever approach you take.
This type of information/querying is now much more monitored/controlled for SOX 404-impacted organizations.
Example - SQVI has been removed from all PRD instances in our company b/c of SOX 404.
