SAP Query as extraction tool - any benchmarks 4 throughput/volume constrain

We are looking to use SAP Query as our extraction tool to create a large dataset for downstream systems. We also will allow the users of those systems to access our SAP system (4.6C) through SAP query for custom extracts. We plan on controlling this by custom coding our own logical database.
Has anyone out there got any benchmarks/metrics/success stories on any other SAP client that might have already done this? Our concern is that SAP Query cannot handle the volume we need to pull from the system, so we need to determine what the choking points of this solution is.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Gareth de Bruyn

Hi Gareth,
I already used sap query in the way you want. Additionally we added lots of abaps to the query as our extraction modules. Everything works fine. At least you will be able to do delta updates ...
The only issue we faces right now was, while loading time dependend master data. Therefore you have to load the data to PSA first and then you can update your infoobject. But there is an oss note out for this behavior.

SAP Query (SQ01) - create and save queryies

Hi Expert;
We wanted to implement SAP query reporting (SQ01) tool, and already developed custom HR infoset and user groups and transported to QAS. We experienced the problem that we can not directly "save" any queries in SQ01. We pretty much have the client opened up and set at "Changes without automatic recording". But keep getting a "transport object create" dialog upon "save" query. But in Adhoc (PQAH), we don't encounter same problem. We wanted our users be able to create and save any queries directly without creating any local objects. Is there another setting that needs to be set?
Thanks for any information that you can provide. Points will be awarded.
Helen

Hello Helen,
in SQ01 you can save queries like in HR Ad Hoc Query (or Infoset query as it is called outside HR).
However this is only possible in the "Standard Area" not in the "Global Area". However as Ad Hoc Query is based on the SQ0x basics it only hides this effect.
If you are doing HR specifics you should consider the documetnation on the special HR switches:
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01200252310000076208&
In general if you are new to the topic you should consider the courses BC407 for Query Basics and HR580 for reporting in HR.
Also to get a feeling for the different types of reporting with the InfoSet Query you can look at the following documentation:

Using SAP Query Extractor for GLPCA

Hi, We are considering to use SAP Query to extract GLPCA data so that we can retrieve some additional information. We are doing this because we need to check BSEG for a Material Number and replace Material in GLPCA it if it's different than the one in GLPCA.
How can the SAP Query be used to perform the required delta? Example: using CPUDATE and Time?
Any help with this is greatly apprectiated.
Thanks,

Decided not to use SAP Query.

Infoset with sap query

Hello.
I would like to ask about using sap query to extract data from table in infoset. Is it possible to write an abap code and get data from certain table? I ask because I do not have any experience in that. Tried to find any examles, but nothing find.
My question is simple- how to extract data using simple abap program, then creatу an infoset with this query and then how to create attribute list based on infoset?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Aryat,
Yes it is possible to include code in infoset and fetch data from database tables.
Go to tcode- SQ02, and change query area from global->standard and click change.
Now click on Extras,it will enable all the custom fields on right hand side.
Now select the field from the row and click coding for addition symbol as mentioned in below screen shot, it will take you to the program line screen and you can code here.
After completing coding save and generate the infoset and adjust the query again otherwise new changes will not reflect.
Hope it will solve your issue.

Sap Query custom field assigned to wrong field group (in extract)

Hello,
I want to add an extra field to InfoSet /SAPQUERY/MEBANF at EBAN level. I added a field in a normal way:
I fill it with a constant value. I adapted Sap Query:
In result, I got the value in new column but only for certain rows:
The value is there only for EBAN rows which have EBKN entries related.
I checked the program, and my new field is added to field group %fg07 with some other fields from table EBKN (not EBAN):
Fields from field group %fg07 are inserted to extract only in event get EBKN, so if there is no entries in EBKN, my field will not be inserted into extract:
I tried a lot of things (assigning my field to new field group in InfoSource, adding a field on EBKN level). I can say that every extra field created by me was assigned to field group &fg07.
Am I doing something wrong?
The target is to add new field in the document overview panel in ME2xN transaction. I know that there is user-exit EXIT_SAPLMEQUERY_002 where I can specify a Z* query. But this solution requires a copy of InfoSet and query to Z*. Adding a new field to standard Sap query is the fastest way.
Message was edited by: Rafal Matuszewski
Now I tried to append EBAN table with my Z* field. I regenerated InfoSet and query but the result is still wrong:
insert EBAN-GSFRG into %fg06.
insert EBAN-ZUGBA into %fg06.
insert EBKN-VBELN into %fg07.
insert EBKN-AUFNR into %fg07.
insert EBKN-KOSTL into %fg07.
insert EBAN-ZZDELIV_DATE_MRP into %fg07. <-- here again the Z* field is assigned to field group related to EBKN table

Thanks Sandra

E-recruiting - reporting from SAP Query

Hi all,
We are using SAP Query to run reports for e-recruiting and have created our own infosets copied from the SAP standard delivered ones.
We are also using the EEO entries based on the configuration tables in the IMG and making these available when creating questions in questionnaires for EEO data. This is all successful and the questionnaires can be completed. However, when trying to report on this data by testing it in SQ01, none of the ethnicity data appears on the output.
Does anyone know if there are any jobs that need to be run to extract the information from questionnaire responses to be reportable through the SAP Query tool?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Hi Jim,
I need a favour from you, Pls give me some sample SAP query reports that are generated for E-recruiting so as to get familiar with using SP Query for E-recruiting as one of my clients need the same.
Thanks in advance,
Kuamr.

Sales Order Text Lines in SAP Query

I have a requirement to output several text lines into a SAP query based around sales orders.
I have included some code to read the details into my query and get no syntax errors, however the report gives a blank output for each of the text fields included, despite there definitely being some text with the specified attribute ID and text object in the table STXL.
Where am I going wrong?
Please find the coding below for one of the text field I'm trying to extract:

Hi -
Please check in debuging.
check the value of TDNAME correctly populated with sales order no and sales order item.
You can cross check with the table STXH with TDNAME and see if any entries is available for TDID 'ZAT2' as your case.
Here are sample code.

                 lw_line TYPE tline,

SAP Query - Modfication/Changes

Hi Experts,
I am new SAP Query, so i have come up with this issue. Please help.
I have an infoset query with me, also a SAP query and a transaction with some Z transaction code, the program name as taken from System->Status is AQZZZSD=========Z_SD_ORD_WO_ST.
1. Now I can see code in the program, but I cant see that much of code in the SQ02 under extras tab.
2. Moreover, I have to change the code to address new requirements. How can I change the code in a SAP query???
What are the ways to change an existing SAP query's code ???
Thanks,
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
Go to Infoset (SQ02) in change mode, click on Code icon (Sfift + F8) displayed on Application bar.
You will find, 'Code section' where different events are listed. You can write your code in any of listed events depending on your need.
For ex. if you want declare any variable in u2018DATAu2019 Section, to initialize any variable can use INITIALIZATION event.
If you want to perform operation on selection screen you can use 'AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT'
And most important event for this tool is Record Processing event like if you want to have any condition and calculation or modification of field value, you can write code in this event.
END OF SELECTION BEFORE LIST--> You can write header information in this event. After this information, your output is displayed. (User WRITE statement to write your information)
END OF SELECTION AFTER LIST--> You can write footer information in this event. After query output, information mentioned in this event is displayed.
Note: END OF SELECTION BEFORE LIST and END OF SELECTION AFTER LIST work only when output format of your query (SQ01) is u2018ABAP LIST'
GET and GET LATE: When you select a logical database as a data source of an infoset, you get this additional event to maintain the code as per your need for LDB.
Please let me know if you need any further details.
Regards,
Dinesh

SAP Query SQ01 column limitation issue

Hi
At SQ01, I have created a number of custom reports via SAP Query.
Its a great tool and all, but I am running into a problem where there is a 255 character limitation when I create a Statistics view (where it summarizes values by characters I choose).
In the SQ01 Query screen, this is controlled by the columns field under the heading list format and if I list too many objects, I get a message stating report has exceeded 255 character limitation.
Is there any way I can modify this value, so I can exceed it (say 500?)?
For us, we use many query reports in our daily reporting so it would be worth modifying.
If anyone has any info on this, please advise (or feel free to PM me!)
Regards
Ken

Naimesh,
Thanks for your reply.
How can I accomplish this? And will it still show the data one the same screen?

SAP Query-for Reporting   how to create and use it

Hi SAP Gurus,
i need your help. in my project, client is asking to create queries to generate reports, i am not familiar with queries, so would appreciate it if any one can guide me and tell me the procedure for writing and creating queries soon.
also if you have any study material on steps on How to write and create queries for PP module
thank you very much

Hi
Please refer below document
http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/SAP_ABAP_Queries_Introduction.asp
Also refer below
How to Create Infoset Query (SAP Query)
Steps on how to proceed to create a Query:
ADHOC QUERY
A query can be created to extract information from master records i.e Infotypes. For example, by creating a query , the data relating to an employee contained in various Infotypes can be extracted.
Proceedure :
Decide on the various Infotypes we want to make the query. Decide on the area where we want to query i.e Global area or Standard area. Standard area is client specific and globel area will include all clients.
Menu : HR PM Admn - Information System - Adhoc Query
Select area standard and select the user group already created
Creation of new query :
TC SQ03 - Select Environment Select Standard Area - Enter -- If new user group is to be created, enter name of the user group, click on create and enter necessary information and exit after saving
TC SQ02 - Enter name of the Infoset Create enter name of Infoset - Data source -- > Table join by basis table give name of table e.g pa0000 - Enter - Click on insert table if we want to include more tables give name of table one by one and after finishing, place cursor on the joining lines and right click to delete unwanted relationships - check - and go back - field groups - include all table fields - click on generate button   - go out
TC SQ03 - Select user group -   eg. Payroll
Infoset - Enter name of newly created Infoset
Assign users and Infosets - Assign infosets - put tick on payroll - save and go back
TC PAAH - Expand the nodes and put tick on relevant fields depending upon necessity
Save the query by giving the same name as infoset for easyness..
For executing a query which is already created
1. Go to SQ01 transaction
2. Go to Environment menu->query areas->std areas
3. Then choose the user group where the query is created
4. It will display all the queries created for the group.choose the query you want to executeand click execute.
5. will take to the initial screen
6. Enter the required parameters and execute

SAP Query (SQ02) - Repeated Data

Hi Gurus,
I'm using the SAP Query tools to build a report.
I have to compare four table but I have a problem: Data comes repeated.
In the outbound delivery, I need to check for one position and material number the stock that I have in two differente storage type in the WM module.
When I execute the query, the item line of the delivery as well as its quantity is repeated as much as storage bin found for this material:
Oubound Delivery Number Item Material Delivery Quantity Storage bin Storage bin quantity
80000000230--1XXXXXXXX1AD1--
60
80000000230--1XXXXXXXX1AD2--
40
80000000230--1XXXXXXXX1AD3--
35
80000000230--1XXXXXXXX1AD4--
60
I would like the result to appear as follows, but i don't any programming knoledge. I know there is an option to put some coding in the query. Could anyone guide me or give me a piece of the code that I would have to put ?
80000000230--1XXXXXXXX1AD1--

Assuming that you are outputting your query as an ALV list, use the sorting functionality to get the display to look exactly as you have depicted. In the ALV display, select the first two columns and click on the sort button.
