SmartView Ad Hoc Query & Using an Input Tab

We have SmartView ad hoc query files that contain multiple sheets. We'd like to have an "input tab" that we use to set POV values for all the reports (i.e. currency & month). I tried putting an Excel formula wh/ referenced the cell on the input tab containing the period information, but this did not work. Is this possible in SmartView? For example, I'm trying to avoid making the same currency update on each report when we want to switch be/tw running all 10 sheets in Local and USD results.
Thanks.

Terri -
I'm would say that I am not an expert, but you could try using substition variables or you could use cell references to accomplish this.
You can find plenty of documentation on substitution variables through Oracle docementation or google search.
For using cell references in a specific file only, I have a month end report where I utlize cell references off one cell on one sheet to set the Time dimension for all other sheets.
For example, cell A2 on sheet1 contains the formula =TODAY() - DAY(TODAY()), which gives me the prior period month end date, currently 3/31/2013. I can then reference this cell in each sheet to set my time dimension. For example, to get the current period member of March, my formula is =TEXT(A2,"mmmm") if on the current sheet or =TEXT(Sheet1!A2,"mmmm") if on another sheet. Likewise, you can set a YTD member (depending on what your time dimension looks like) by using a formula such as =TEXT(A2,"mmm")&+" YTD", which will return the member Mar YTD.
Hope this helps.

How to activate Show Set Operations in Ad Hoc query

When I go into ad hoc query using an infoset I created the Extras > Show Set Operations and Switch off object selection functions are greyed out and I cannot select them. On another infoset these functions are available for selection.
Is there some setting in the info set creation that allows these function to be available for selection?

Transport selection screen variant of ad-hoc query

Hi, I've created an ad-hoc query using sq01,sq02,sq03 and I've assigned it to a transaction and created a screen selection variant.
Now I want to transport the screen selection variant. RSTRANSP doesn't seem to work for that.
Thanks

Hi Alejandro,
You can transport this to other system by make use of program RSAQR3TR, before you transport to other systems, please check everything is working fine in Development system, once everything is perfect..
Please use the program which i have stated above and transport user group first, then infoset and then query,, you can do it in two ways..by downloading and uploading or else by export and import..
if you still have any queries on this. share with your screenshot what have you done,, so i will help you on it..

Help needed in mapping BI query output to use as input for BAPI

Hi,
After wrestling with it for quite some time I choose to ask yet another question here. I want to use the output of a BI query I use as input for a BAPI. I just can not get the mapping correctly:
The query delivers: 104908BA092F7501F5E1008000829000AC
I need: 104908BA092F7501F5E1008000829000AC
How can I lose the two first digits? Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jan

Nevermind. I found out myself. I am now using the statement MID(@GUID,2,32) in the connection.

How to use output of a Query as an input to another Query

Dear BI experts,
We have a unique requirement. We are multinational company and employees moving from Country to another.
I have created a Bex query to give me the list of countries that employees have been since they joined the company. The columns in the report are PERNR, date_from and country.
When I run the query for all employees it gives us the list of countries that each employee was present.
Now the requirement is to show only the employees who have been at least once in UK. This list should contain all the countries they were living in addition to UK.
I cannot put a condition in the u2018Countryu2019 column for u2018UKu2019 since it will give me only UK and will not list other countries.
Could you please provide me with a solution.
I thought of running 2 queries to get the desired result. First run a report with a condition that Country = UK. This will give the list of employees who have been in UK at least once. Run the second query by using the list of employees from he first query without any restrictions. But the question is how to make the list of employees in the first query as an input to the second query, other than manually adding it in the selection screen.
Hope I was able to explain the requirements clearly.\
Thanks in advance to your suggestions.
Regards,
Sai

Hi Sainath,
This can be acheived by RRI i.e report to Report Interface !!!!!!
T Code -RSBBS.
Report A-Jump to report B.
Report B-Is Employee Based
Assume u want call report B from Report A
1)GOTO RSBBS
2)Create New
3)Sender Query Give the First Query Report A
4)Below sender Query there is Receiver Query  give the RRI query report B (The query which u want to call).Report type should be BEX ,and Target system--Assign the System(Local) and in the report give the Report B.
5)In the Report A check whether in the GOTO -u get the Receiver Query ,i.e Report B.
In the Assignments in RSBBS set the Emp Infoobject as Delete instead of Generic and create a Input Variable for Employee in Report A.
Come bak if u have any issues

has anybody had similar problems! Help Appreciated!

Hi Anuj,
Yes, you use Transaction Code SQ02. Find your infoset on the list - if you want to create a new infoset you can do so. If it is an existing infoset, select it and Change. On the next screen you will see all the infotypes in that infoset on the left. The fields available for Ad Hoc are on the right. Open the infotype table on the left and the field group on the right. If the field is not included in the field group all you have to do is drag and drop from the list on the left to the correct field group. If the infotype is not already in your infoset, select Edit --> Change Infotype Selection from the top menu bar. Place a check in the new infotype and then return and do the drag and drop if necessary. You will find the basic fields already moved to the field group.
You say you want information from IT0008-Basic Pay and IT1005-Planned Compensation. Problem is that if you use the standard HR logical data base, there is no link directly between a person and IT1005. IT1005 is assigned to a Position or a Job. If it is assigned to a Position, you can select the "Change Infotype Selection" action and ago to the bottom of the list to Related Objects. Here select Position and open that to find the IT1005. If the IT1005 is tied to the Job, there is no direct link. Thus, if it does not already exist, you will need to create an infoset based on the PCH logical database and object Position. Now you can link that Position to "Holder"-Person and "Described by"-Job. Again, select the infotypes and fields you want and you will be able to obtain your information via Ad Hoc Query based on that infoset.

Validation of EEO code using ad hoc query

Hi,
I just want to ask for a help or any ideas with regards to the case below.
The EEO job categories have been revised and I've already map the existing job codes to the correct EEO job category in table T5U13. But when I try to run a query for a specific job to check and verify if the mapping of the new EEO job category to the existing job code is correct, the EEO code field is left blank. Meaning that there is no EEO job category attached to the job code. But I've maintain the mapping already and when I double check table T5U13, the job code is map to the new EEO job category. I just want to ask for help that if I run the query, the EEO code field would have an entry based on the mapping I've done.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Sanghmitra,
I have got a query in AD-HOC query.
After creating the Adhoc query using the join table functionality the resulting adhoc query does not results any out put.
What I have done is :
1.Created a user group through SQ03
2.Attched user to My user group
3.Created an infoset using join table functionality(SQ02).
4.Saved and generated the infoset
5.Added the user group to the infoset and than run the ADHOC query.
The table I have used to join is all PA table (For test pupose)
Though the purpose of the custom infoset is to join PA,OM and E rec infotypes, for testing purpose I have joined only PA infotypes.
Result:The adhoc query does not gives any out put instead it says no data could be read.
Could you please tell what else I need to do so that the custom infosets gives an out put.
Will greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks and best regards

Where to find 'Exempt' indicator for reporting using ad-hoc query?

I want to run report for a count of exempt and non-exempt employees using ad-hoc query with logical database PNPCE. We maintain the exempt/non-exempt flag on the job.
Thanks
Manish

To meet this exact same requirement at my company. I added an additional table (T5U13) into the logical database. Within transaction SQ02, go to the field group Organizational Assignment, right-click on the field group. Click Node Extras. Click Create icon over on the right-hand side of the screen. Type in the table name T5U13. Use this select statement:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T5U13
WHERE STELL                = P0001-STELL
    AND ENDDA                = P0001-ENDDA
Then add the fields into your field groups. I also created a local field so I get the word "Exempt" or "Non-Exempt" in my queries instead of "1" or "2" because i can never remember which is which.
Hope this helps!

Cant record into to logic pro 9 using samson l1200 live mixer, System/Pref/Audio input tab says selected device has no input control

Hi Im new to this so bare with me..When I connect my Samson l1200 live usb mixer to my Imac 7,1 Intel duo core 3gb ram, osx10.6.8, via usb cable to record vocals/instruments, in System Pref/Audio/Output tab is set to mixer's UsbAudioCodec driver, (Im able to hear playback into headphones via the mixer, and hear the mic when spoken into it but cant record a track into Logic...System/Pref/Audio input tab says selected device has no input control, Ive set the input/output settings in Logic to UsbAudioCodec but still no good...Would it be either the way the mixer is set up? or is this mixer (Samson l1200) not compatible with my particular Imac? I hope I may be able to help as Im only a student trying to record my band thanks

I perfectly understand your problem.
First... just to make sure, in Logic's preferences /Audio make sure Universal Track Mode IS checked, it should be enabled. (I think it probably is just checking)
Second... if you record a track in a new Logic project and then go to the next track to record an overdubbed guitar part, are both parts recorded on the 2nd track?
What I'm asking is overdubbing working differently for two or three recorded tracks as opposed to overdubbing with an imported track.
What I think is happening is you have the main stereo output being recorded into Logic so if you playback an imported or recorded track from Logic while recording a 2nd track (overdub), both are going to be recorded on the 2nd track.
I took a look at the manual, here's the relevant sections.
34 – SEND – USB input send switch
The USB INPUT switch allows you to select one of
two stereo (or two channel) signal paths to feed the
USB output to send to the connected PC. When the
INPUT switch is in the up position, the USB signal will
feed from the MAIN left right mix. When the INPUT
switch is in the down position, the USB signal will
feed from the AUX 1 and AUX 2 buses which enables
you to create a unique mix to send to the PC.
35 – RETURN – USB return switch
The USB RETURN switch allows you to select one of
two stereo return paths to receive USB audio from
the connected PC. When the ASSIGN switch is in the
up position, the USB signal will return to the MAIN
mix bus. When the ASSIGN switch is in the down
position, the USB signal will return to the last pair
of stereo channels which enables you to playback a
recorded track in the MAIN mix, and you can use the
channels AUX sends to feed any of the AUX buses.
This will let you hear the USB playback tracks in the
monitor mixes.
36 – MONITOR – USB headphone enable switch
Press the USB MONITOR switch down if you want
to hear the signal from the USB return in the
headphones.

Query using 0calmonth, to input the month range, data incorrect

hi, experts,
I have a query using 0CALMONTH in the filter, restricted the range value ( eg. 2009.01-2009.08 ),
but the data in Bex Analyzer only 2009.08, doest not collect the cube data from 2009.01 to 2009.08.
If restrict the single value (eg, 2009.02), the data is correct.
I tried to restrict the key figure by 0CALMONTH and then tried using variables with an offset but it does not work as input is a month range.
my bw support package13, basis sp12.
thanks in advance,

this issue solved by myself, there is a non-cumulative Key Figure.

I am not sure which to use or is there any other way? Pls. let me know the steps...
Also what is this 'Package', which is aked whenever you create or change an Infoset.
Pls. suggest.
Tnx

I was able to add the infotype by adding the table as PA0025 & include all the fields in the field group.
When I check, I get the following error:

Benefit cost reporting in ad hoc query

Is it possible to use ad hoc query to report on future dated benefit cost changes? I have tried several different ways but have not been successful.
I tried changing the date of the reporting period to match that of the effective date for the benefit cost change but the system still outputs the old costs.
I also tried using the benefit cost calculation date as a selection field and then enter the effective date for benefit change but that did not work either.
Does anyone have any insight? Thanks in advance for your input!

Did you ever find an answer to your question? I am having the exact same issue. Unless a new infotype is saved with the dates that coincide with the cost configuration change, I cannot report on the new cost via Ad hoc or SAP query. The only thing that works is the standard health plan cost report but my users prefer to use query so they can get every field they need.

About ad hoc query in DSP?

in the edocs of dsp,i read these:
An ad hoc query is an XQuery function that is not stored in a data service, but is instead defined by the client application. You can use an ad hoc query to execute any XQuery function, possibly against a data source defined on a remote DSP server or "even with no back-end data source at all."
what's meaning of "even with no back-end data source at all"??
Can somebody show me some samples??thx a lot.
BTW:
I am looking for some ways to execute SQL dynamic,
like this: SQL1:select * from table1,SQL2:select * from table2,
any body give me some good idea about it ? Thx in advance.
my mail: nizhigang2000(at)gmail(dot).com

A query with no back-end data would return data from it's input arguments or constructed in the query. For example the query :
<result/>
has no backend sources.
You can execute sql through the LD JDBC driver - the sql is converted to equivalent XQuery, and then to sql - which maybe executed against multiple databases depending on your query (that's why there is no direct pass-through). You can use the Relational wrapper if there is exact sql that you would like to have executed. (Import Source Metadata -> Relational)
