Steps to test a query?

Hi gurus,
I need to test my query..Can anyone explain me the steps to test a query....
Thanks
S ram

shiva,
what are the parameters for which you want to test?
1. Data Validity ?
2. Performance ?
3. Layout ?
Please give us the parameters and then we can appropriately guide you to what needs to be done ....
Most of the above can be done using TCode RSRT - go to the TCode and select your query from the box provided - then you will have a tab called Execute+ debug - select the same and then choose what you want to see in the options provided and you can proceed..
Arun
Hope it helps....

Error in Testing SQL Query VO

Hi,
I have a a VO based on a Database Table 'XXCZ_TEST_V'(View in APPS schema)
The table(view) present in APPS schema is based on several base Tables in XXCZ schema.
When I test the Query in the Wizard it shows following error int he "Detailed Screen"
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index: getValidColumnIndex
While testing the VO output in BC4J tester I get followig error
oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: Select * from XXCZ_TEST_V
Note : The query Select * from XXCZ_TEST_V works fine in SQL client or TOAD.
How can i correct it?
Thanks,
Gowtam.

Hi Srini,
I am facing a strange behavior in the wizard.
When i test the query in the Wizard i get[b] "Query Valid".
If I open the Edit VO and then click test, still I get "Query Valid".
but when I click Apply I get an SQL error.
and BC4J tester also throws an SQL error.
The query is
Select * from XXCZ_MODELS_V
First time It works fine..
Then If I edit it to select Model_code,Model_name from XXCZ_MODELS_V I get the error.
And now, again if Edit the query back to Select * from XXCZ_MODELS_V,surprse...again an error..
I am not able to understand the error..as It executes perfectly fine in SQL client
Everytime I am deleting the VO and creating again with select * query...
Should I delete the VO everytie if i want to change the Query
Thanks,
Gowtam.

In LabVIEW OI the Run Selected Step Using Test UUTs does not work

TestStand LabVIEW Operator Interface (old style) - TestStand Version 2.0.1 & 3.0
The Interactive option was enabled for the Process Model Entry Point - Test UUTs in the SequentialModel.seq.
When selective steps were selected to run within the LV OI using the menu item 'Run Selected Step Using - Test UUTs' it was found not to work.
The reason for it not working was because the main event string was "Run Selected Step 0" but this isn't available in the case statement. Changing the "Run Selected Step 1".."Run Selected Step 9999" to "Run Selected Step 0".. didn't produced the desired result. Instead of the selected steps running using the entry point Test UUTs, the steps ran without the process model.
The Case Statement string was retored back to "Run Selected Step 1".
The changes that are required to make the "Run Selected Step 1".."Run Selected Step 9999" work with either of the Entry Points are as follow.
In the VI TestStand - Create Entry Point Menus for Interactive Exec.vi
Insert an Increment from the iteration terminal of the FOR loop. This ensures the Message Queue string generated is in the range 1 - 9999 not 0 - 9999.
In the TestStand - Sequence Display.vi
For the Main Message Event "Run Selected Steps", "Run Selected Step 1".."Run Selected Step 9999"
In the case "1, Default", decrement the input 'Entry Point Index' to the VI TestStand - Start Interactive Entry Point Execution.vi. This ensures the Entry Point Index starts from the value 0.
Now when the selected steps are run using a Pocess Model Entry Point, they run correctly.
This problem only appears to affect the LabVIEW Operator Interface and only the old style. The new style that comes with TestStand 3.0 runs correctly.
There is one other problem. When an Operator is logged in to TestStand, the Entry Point - 'Single Pass' is disabled. But this is not reflected to the menu item 'Run Selected Step Using'. Both 'Test UUTs' and 'Single Pass' are available to the operator.
The reason for this is because in the VI 'TestStand - Create Entry Point Menus for Interactive Exec.vi' the sub menu item is enabled as a result from the property Sequence.AllowInteractiveExecutionOfEntryPoint. This is not enough to disable the 'Single Pass'. The Engine.CurrentUserHasPrivilege needs to be checked as well. Which means modications to the VI 'TestStand - Create Entry Point Menus for Interactive Exec.vi'.
Hope is maybe of help to anyone that may need to use this option.

Thanks Ray for the "heads-up". )
I am about to implement a vi which calls TestStand functions. This vi will allow to select tests and permits test re-entry (loops) if the user has supervisor privileges.
I will consider what you recommend in this string.
I will also provide feedback on this thread if I discover anything .... let's say "unusual"..
On another note, I am using TestStand 3.0 I have not observed any problems when running selected steps or run selected steps using single pass. I have also within TestStand set privileges for certain Operators to do the same. They have not reported any problems.

Report builder - build step level test execution results report

Hey,
I'm working on showing Test Results from MTM from specific mentioned plan using Report builder 3.0.
I can see, we have all needed details including Test Case, Test Run and Test Result under Metadata. Problem is we want to go further and see result of each step of executed test case. For example, we want to see how many "Steps" are passed out
of total steps of test case if test case is failed or test case is in-progress.
I can't see any information "Steps" level when I select measure group at "Test". Please help me with that, I'm trying to see this since a year now. This will save our manual effort of checking into the results using APIs.
Would appreciate any information on this please !
Best Regards,
Shrikant

Hi _Shri_,
According to your description, you want to show the status(Run, Plan, Result....) for each case. Right?
In Analysis Services, measure represents a column that contains quantifiable data, usually numeric, that can be aggregated. Dimensions are groups of attributes based on columns from tables or views in a data source view. In this scenario, we should create
more measures to show the status of each case instead of creating a lot of dimensions. I suggest you create one measure for each type of status and only keep one Cases dimension.
Reference:
Introduction to Dimensions (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data)
Measures and Measure Groups in Microsoft Analysis Services
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Testing a Query and Debugging Virtual InfoObjects

Hi,
I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out by telling me how to test a query and debug a virtual InfoObject? I would really appreciate it if someone would also tell me how to test user exit variables ??

Hi Jayashree,
be aware with the break point. Put in a little logic with a static variable, because otherwise your program will stop there for each record.
Here some coding.
statics: l_stat type i value 0.
if l_stat = 0.
break-point.
endif.
With this, you will not come to the break point once you set the variable l_stat to a value <> 0. This might be helpful.
regards
Siggi
PS: rsrt will also work for testing the variables, but I am not sure if it will work for the aggregates.

How can I test my Query As A Web Service?

Hi,guru:
    I have created my Web Service based on universe which based on SAP BW query using Query As A Web Service Designer, but when I use it in Dashboard on BOBJ platform by passing a parameter to the Web Service, it seems no response from the Server,I made 2 test steps:
    1.Pass a value to the input parameter,I checked by ST01 in BW Server and see no records of the action, and no result return.
    2.Pass a blank to the input parameter,I checked by ST01 in BW Server and got many records,and all data be retrived.
    It seems that when I passed the parameter,the Web Service seems no response and didn't run at all. Is there anybody who can tell me how can I test the Web Service,I want to test it and input my parameter.
    Thanks very much for your quick response.

I had a similar issue in a project I am working on. I'm not sure if I did this the "Best Practices" way or not, but it works perfectly.
In the head area of my JSP I include the following:
<f:view>
    <h:outputText id="refresher1" rendered="#{queryHandler.queryRunning}">
        <f:verbatim escape="false">
            <meta http-equiv="refresh"
                  content="5,<%=response.encodeURL(request.getContextPath()+
                          "/queryStatus.jsf")%>">
        </f:verbatim>
    </h:outputText>
    <h:outputText id="refresher1" rendered="#{queryHandler.queryFinishedRunning}">
        <f:verbatim escape="false">
            <meta http-equiv="refresh"
                  content="5,<%=response.encodeURL(request.getContextPath()+
                          "/queryResults.jsf")%>">
        </f:verbatim>
    </h:outputText>This puts a 5 second refresh meta in the header to direct the browser to the correct page based on the status of the query thread.
There are many ways to accomplish the effect you want. I suggest putting all the controls into the JSP and making use of the rendered attributes instead of the JSTL conditionals to show the controls you want for the state of the application.

Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file. I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with. I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time. Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal.
So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

Hi
1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
OR
1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
Else you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.
See Blogs and Article, similar logic...

How to test SQL query performance - realiably?

I have certain queries and I want to test which one is faster, and how big is the difference.
How can I do this reliably?
The problem is, when I execute the queries, Oracle does it's caching and execution planning and whatnot, and results of the queries are dependent on the order I execute them.
Example: query A and query B, supposed to return same data.
query A, run 1: 587 seconds
query A, run 2: 509 seconds
query B, run 1: 474 seconds
query B, run 2: 451 seconds
It would seem that A is somewhat faster than B, but if I change the order and execute B before A, results are different.
Also I'm running the queries in SQL Developer, and it only returns 100 first lines, how can I remove this effect and simulate real scenario where all lines are fetched?
I can also use EXPLAIN PLANs and look at the costs but I'm not sure how much I can trust those either. I understand they are only estimations and even if cost(a) = 1.5 * cost (b), b could still end up executing faster in practise due to inaccuracies in the cost calculation....right? EDIT: actually event if cost(a) = 5000 * cost(b), b can still execute faster.....seems like query A's cost is 15836 and B's cost is 3 while A seems to be faster in practise.

I have to say I don't understand your point either :)
What are you saying, that people should not test their SQL performance? That tools such as autotrace are useless?No.. what I'm saying is that you need a baseline to make an informed decision about SQL performance.
What does a 4 second SQL performance mean for query foo ? Nothing really.. wearing my dba cap I would point at that this is actually utterly useless for me to determine the impact of your query on production, or use it to determine how to scale it.
If instead you tell me that is hits that table using an index range scan.. I know what it is doing and have a far better idea what it will do to the production instance.
Thus my questioning this "+elapsed time+" measurement approach. I as a dba cannot use it... and I'm not sure what benefit (wearing my developer hat) you will find from it either.
You can form your SQL queries better or worse, or select your table structure / indexes better or worse. Some choices may end up executing orders of magnitude slower than others. Obviously you can't get exact measurements "this query executes in 43123 ns" and there are a lot of unpredictable variables that affect the end performance. Still, it's often better to test your querie's / table's performance before implementing them in the application than not.Exactly. I'm not questioning the fact that optimising your code (and ALL your code, not just SQL) is a Good Thing (tm) - but how you go about that optimisation process.
For example, your PL/SQL code fires off a query. It returns on average 10,000 rows, hits a single partition (SQL enables partitioning pruning) and then uses a local bitmap index to identify the rows.
An optimal query by the sounds of it, and one that will perform and scale well.. even when the database instance needs to service a 100 clients using your code and running this query.
Only, the code does a single bulk collect of all the rows and stuff it into dedicated process memory (PGA). Servicing a 100 clients means that dedicated server memory is now needed for 100x10000 rows - there's insufficient free memory, causing the kernel to start swapping pages in and out of memory heavily as all 100 client sessions are active and wanting to process the rows returned by the optimal query.
What happens to scalability and performance now?
Testing for performance is not simply measuring a query and then trying to use that or extrapolate that to determine application performance and the impact on production.
It starts with the design of the tables, the design of the application, the writing of the code (application and SQL). It is not something that should be done after the fact as in "+okay, application all done, let's see how she performs!+".. and especially not using time as the baseline for performance measurement.

Error in testing XML query result set web service

Steps to create a query

Hi ,
i need to bulid a query for tc : mb51 , tables mch1 and mska , query is to pull a field licha on to mb51 transaction.May i know the steps pls..
Thxs,
vind.

Hi,
MB51 uses the data from MKPF and MSEG tables.
Take the MATNR CHARG and LIFNR fields from MSEG and pass them to MCH1 table to get the LICHA field.
If MSEG data is in Int table ITAB.
if not ITAB[] is initial.
select matnr charg lifnr licha from mch1 into table <itab2>
for all entries in ITAB where
matnr = itab-matnr and
charg = itab-charg and
lifnr = itab-lifnr.
endif.
Then read the licha with key fields and add into final data int table.

Testing at Query Level

Hi All,
How do you do the testing at the query level in BW? what scenario's or test cases will be used, kindly update me coz i'm new to this.
Regards,
V V.

Do u know how to crate Queries in BW. If so... follow as below.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b2/e50138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
In the above link at BI Suite: Business Explorer it clearly explained about reporting.
First for any report inputs are Variable Entries. Ex. For sales related reports variable is DocNo. or DocDate or..etc...So u have to enter the Doc No or Doc Date as inputs. Based on the inputs given ur report ll showup the corresponding data. This way u have to test for all the DocNo. DocDate..etc.
Now read my first post. Test Case Document should have Run1,Run2..Result, Remark.
Hope it helps..
