SAP Query - message convert first

Hi Expert,
When I am trying to use transaction SQ01, SQ02 and SQ03 I got a message "convert first" what does it means and what should I convert to carry on the query?
thank you

Hi,
I figured out the problem already, this is due to the object need to be convert manually first.
you need to convert all of your existing query objects to work in Release 4.0A. For technical reasons, this cannot be done automatically using an XPRA program in the upgrade. Instead, you need to convert the objects in each client individually following the upgrade. Special programs will be available for the conversion.
The technical basis for storing query obejcts before Release 4.0A were the database tables AQDB and TAQTS. In Release 4.0A, these tables are replaced by 15 new tables.
Anyway, thank you for your support. Cheers

SQVI Error : Convert first Message no. AQ898

Dear all,
I am getting a system message whenever i try to create query name in quick view using T.code - SQVI
Convert first
Message no. AQ898
Diagnosis
Before you work with queries, functional areas or user groups in this query area, you must convert the objects.
Procedure
Get your system administrator to convert the objects. The ABAP Query Release Information for Release 4.0A describes how to convert these objects. Also read Note 92124.
How to solve this issue ?

Note 325829 - SAP query: Message AQ898 after new installation
Summary
Symptom
You install an R/3 system with a release higher than 4.0A, that is, you do not generate it by an upgrade from an 3.x system. When you call a component to maintain objects of the SAP query (queries, InfoSets or functional areas, user groups) in the standard area the system generates error message
AQ898 Convert first
In the long text, there is a reference to Note 92124 which describes the required upgrade of query objects between Releases 3.x and 4.y. However, such an upgrade is not required since it is a new installation.
Additional key words
Query, upgrade, conversion
Cause and prerequisites
The system cannot find out whether a system was installed or generated by an upgrade. Thus in a 4.x system it always requests the conversion.
Solution
The system finds out whether there are query objects in the current client which come from a 3.x system. If this is not the case, the system presumes that this is an installation and allows the processing of query objects in the standard area.
As of Release 5.0A this change is part of the standard system. It is also available in the Support Packages for Releases 4.6x. An advance correction only makes sense, if after the installation you did not already work with query objects.

    Message no. AQ 898
Diagnosis

Dear Sharmin;
Go to SE38 and run the program "RSAQUM40", then click on set release flag option then click execute.
after that go back to SQ02, SQ03 and create your infoset and it should work.
You can read also SAP Note 92124 for more information.

Converting SAP Query to Report Program

Hello Experts,
I'm stuck up with an issue.
I want to convert SAP query into a report program as the things which I need to implement is not possible with SAP Query anymore.
So I need to convert SAP query to Report program.
I'm very much aware about the SQ01--> Query --> More functions --> Display Report Program
But this Report Program generates is AQ..................... but if you see the code there will be buch of dynamic calls not as clear as ABAP code and not much flexibility to modify...
Please Provide a solution to this.

Hi Bhange,
Glen Anthony has said very well and I support him. Even I suggest you to ignor the report generated with Query and develop a new report with the required business logic.

Convert SAP QUICK VIEWER to SAP QUERY

Could any one pls tell me to convert the SAP Quickviewer to SAP Query. Also tell me how to make the other users to view this SAP Query or Report using the Custom Area Menu.

Dear Neelu,
go to QuickViewer (SQVI), create and save an object, go to Menu "Environment" in SQ01 and switch to Standard Area(client-specific). Next, u go to Menu QuickView and push "Convert QuickView..". Finish!
EDIT: Regarding your question about queryview for other users:
[U must create a user group|User Groups for Queries; in SQ03 or choose a existing one and then u can assign it to a query. If u want to see different user groups in SQ01 go to 'Edit' -> 'Change usergroup'.
Hope this helps!

hi Aamod;
it seems like you already have your BI SAP Query system working properly, if you can use it in the BI Integration Wizard. what's the problem you're seeing in VC?
systems created with the BI SAP Query Connector are relational systems and therefore expose tables and fields in VC. via the BI Connector, these systems are 'lent' BI functionality and you can use these tables in the BI Integration Wizard, as you've seen. you might therefore call these "relational BI systems" (just like systems created with the BI JDBC Connector are).
if you have consulted the System Landscape documentation on configuring properties for a BI SAP Query System (<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4b/9afe3323d14005a283dee9101c66fc/frameset.htm">here</a>) and you're still having problems connecting with the BI SAP Query Connector, i'd suggest you write up a CSS message.
hope it helps;

Error 'Unable to open file' when downloading SAP Query to Excel

Hi all
I'm running a SAP Query which is set to download straight to a spreadsheet (Pivot Table / Microsoft Excel). Intermittently it does not work - apparently at random (at least, I've can't recreate the error at will).
It does one of the following:
- Works ok, and creates the pivot table
- Gives an Excel error message 'Unable to open file', then returns to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup when enter is pressed on the error.
- Does not issue error message, just goes to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup.
In the last two cases, the excel pivot table sheet is not created.
Has anyone seen anything similar, or have any idea as to what is causing the problem?
Any help gratefully received!
Not urgent as I've found a way round - further testing seems to show that I don't get the error is Excel is already open - but in the past I've run many SAP query downloads without needing to open Excel first. I suppose it's possible that this is just something to do with the Excel setup at the user site

SAP Query : Save to file in XLS format in background

Hello everybody,
I used the enhancement SQUE0001 for saving result (an XLS file) of SAP query in background.
I used also the ABAP commands 'OPEN DATASET', 'TRANSFER' and 'CLOSE DATASET' as described in the SAP note 537735.
The execution of SAP query generated multiple columns. But when I go to see my downloaded file (.xls), all generated columns are condensed into 1 !!!
How to save the file (.xls) and keep the separated columns, please?
Thanks for your answers.

For saving the file in Excel format in the App server you have to first convert the data in XLS format and then use the transfer statement.
You can either use FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT for that.
OR
Create a comma sepreated file which will open in excel.
open dataset file for output in text mode.
loop at itab.
    concatenate itab-field1 itab-field2 itab-field2 into str
                  separated by ','.
    transfer str to file.
endloop.
close dataset file.

SAP Query Creation

Hi All,
I am creating a SAP query in the system using the tables KONP,MBEW & A018 i could join tables KONP & MBEW but i am not able to add the table A018 and a error message is displayed
Error Message:
Table A018 cannot be used in a join
Message no. AQ501
Diagnosis
1. You cannot read the selected table with SELECT statements (because, for example, it is a structure without a database table). Therefore, this table cannot be read within a table join either.
2. The chosen table is a pool or cluster table. These tables may not be used in a table join.
Can anyone tell me a alternative to join this table to MBEW & KONP.
I want this Join Conditions:
MBEW-MATNR = A018-MATNR
A018-KAPPL = KONP-KAPPL
A018-KSCHL = KONP-KSCHL
A018-KNUMH = KONP-KNUMH
Thanks & Regards

SAP Query Use and Transport Strategy

Anyone wish to share their experience in the use of SAP Query? We generally have an understanding that we don't want to be giving out this tool to end-users in Production. We would like to create queries, and when we wish to give them out we'll attach t-codes to them and roll them out.
However in practice, this is becoming difficult. An example is where in our gold client we create queries and then we would typically transport to our unit test client. But whenever we do an export, it generates a transport request. Before we are done testing we may end up with 10's of transports for a single query?
Anyone have some ideas on a transport strategy for SAP Query? How about it's use in Production? Our landscape for changes are typically DEV Gold -> DEV Test -> QAS -> PRD. We would ideally like our transport strategy for queries to match what we do for everything else.

HI,
Query objects are transported in different ways according to the query area in which they were created.
In order to know which transport options are available, you must first understand how query objects are created.
Standard Area
Query objects are stored in the client-specific table AQLDB. They are not connected to the Change and Transport Organizer.
Global Area
Query objects are stored in the cross-client table AQGDB. They are connected to the Change and Transport Organizer.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/d2/cb467f455611d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
Global area objects can be transported into other systems. Standard area query objects can not only be transported to other clients within their own system, but into all clients of other systems as well. In addition, query objects can be transported from the global query area to the standard query area and back within the same system.Transports are normally performed by the system administrator, not by end-users. For this reason, you need the appropriate authorizations

SAP Query Documentation - Defining additional fields

Hi,
I need to create a new SAP Query defining a new Functional Area. My problem is that I have created the area and defined the tables I want to use and how to join them, but I want to add additional fields with ABAP coding. I have looked up for documentation on how to do it, and all I find is that I shoud access the menu GOTO/Additional Field, but in my screen I find no such option (I'm using 46B).
Could anyone explain how to add additional fields and coding, or send me any documentation please??
Also, is it possible that I can create functional areas and queries, but not edit ABAP coding from functional areas in my productive system? Do I have to create the query in my test system and transport it, or how does that work? I's my first time creating queries.
Thanks so much in advance!

SAP Query: How to filter records from SAP Query output before display

Hi Friends,
Can I delete records from an SAP query basic list before it is displayed?
For example I want to delte all the orders whose system status is "RELEASED" before the basic list of that SAP query is displayed.
I have gone through SAP help and found out that we can write some code in END code section which will execute before the basic list of the query is displayed. But I could not figure out how the code this...following is an excerpt form SAP help.
"The END-OF-SELECTION code consists of two parts (Before list output and After list output). The first part is processed before the list is output and the second part afterwards."
Can anybody help me?
Regards,
Bharat.

Try this simple procedure. Hope this should work for you.
You do the slection of the status in the List-Processing. say your final field of status flag is GF_STATUS.
Immediatly after that use this within the List-Processing.
CHECK GF_STATUS EQ '<RELEASED STATUS>'
How it works:
SELECT <> "<-------Query processing(system code).
*< Your code put in the List processing
CHECK GF_STATUS EQ '<RELEASED STATUS>' "< --only released records passed.
*>
ENDSELECT "<-----Query endselect(system code).
Please let me know the result.
