Swith between query views in workbook

Hi,
Is there a way to switch between two or more query views in a workbook.
I'm in 7.0 analyser.
Thanks in advance.
Prakash C

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I will explain the issue again so please tell me the process we are following is correct or not?
Last month we created views for two queries and attched them in the workbook, the variable values which we have given at that time were month = 01 year 2010.
This month when we try to access the workbooks we are getting 0 records in the views of the workbook.
now my doubt is:
If we create views for variable values month jan and year 2010, will they show output when we change the variable values to Feb, 2010?
or
Do we have to create new views every month and attach them to the existing workbook manually?
PLease revert.
Thanks

Diffrance between saved views and workbooks

Hello Friends,
Good Morning ..
Could any one please tell me what is the diff between saved view and Workbooks. .?
It will be nice help for me.
Thanks .

Hi Jain,
Do not know if your question is already answered. Let me give you my thoughts on this subject ... start with what is a query.
A query definition is saved on the server. Never anywhere else.
Although people say a workbook contains a query (or several queries); it does not. It contains a reference to a query. The workbook can be saved on the server; or anywhere else that you might save an Excel workbook.
What happens if someone changes the query definition on the server? Answer: the next time you refresh the query in the Excel workbook, the new query definition replaces the old query definition in the workbook. Maybe. It depends on what change was made.
For example, if someone added a Condition to the query definition, the workbook will be virtually invisible to this. The Condition is available; but, is not implemented in the workbook. (Until the user of the workbook manually adds the view of the Condition and then activates it.)
For example, if someone changed the definition of a KF in the query definition, the revised KF will show up in place of the old KF in the workbook.
But ... if, for example, someone deleted the old KF and added a new KF, we get a different story. Now the old KF no longer appears (it does not exist); but, the new KF does not appear (it was not marked to be visible in the workbook).
About workbooks as views ... OK, a workbook may very well have a certain "view" of the query (drilldown, filters, et cetera). And, if the workbook is saved to the server in a Role where everyone can access it, this is good. But, if the workbook is saved to one's favorites, then this "view" is only accessible to that individual. Which may be good. Or may not.
A "saved view", on the other hand is stored on the server. So, it is available to all.
If you navigate in a workbook you can back up. You can back up, though, only as far as you navigated in the current session. You cannot back up to where you were in the middle of last week's session. Unless you saved that navigation state as a "saved view". Then, you can jump to that view at any time.
The downside of saved views is that they are easy for anyone to set up and difficult for most to delete.

HI Folks,
Query views atatched in workbook are not showing any data when we move from previous month to current month. So we are creating views for current month and attaching them to workbook manually at this moment.
Please advise what needs to be done to make the views get refreshed automatically according to the variable values we select.

Diff Between Saved Query Views and Work Books

Hi..
Can some one explain me the diff betwen Saved Query views and Workbooks interms of their use, and operation..
thanks..
kishore

hi kishore,
We use workbooks for excel formating,like font changes, lay out changes etc...
Workbooks into which queries are inserted are no different in appearance than other Excel workbooks.
They can be saved as files, copied, sent and (using Excel functions) edited however you like and even supplemented with other data.
Views are primarily used for BW Web Reports, it is similar to the concept of workbooks is for BEx.A local view can be accessed only within a workbook in which it was saved, where as a global view can be accessed globally in the system, it is not attached to a workbook. Only Global view can be used in BW Web Templates.
u can seee the help doc for more details:

Query Views.

Hi,
*How can the views can be seen a work book,whether they exist or not?
*How can the views in workbook can be deleted?
I am a little new to BW,kindly help on this issue.

Hi,
When you run a BEx query the result is displayed on Excel.You could save this as a workbook
under a role or save view as global under a role.
You can save different query views under a workbook. Also you could delete query views and workbooks provided you have authorization
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to have more than one Query view in the same workbook?

Is there a way to have more than one Query view in the same workbook?
BEx allows us to insert Queries into workbooks, but not saved views.
I can open a view in excel & then save it as a workbook....but after that there is no way to add another view to the same excel. If I open a new view, it opens in a new Excel.

Hi
when u open some query in BEx analyser,u can save it as a query view as well as workbook.The difference is, workbook is if u work with the design mode which will be in the left side of ur screen and query view is wen u save after drill downing some char or key figures from a intial screen wen u execute query in BEx analyser

Command buttons to Assign Query / Query view with variables on Workbooks

Hi experts,
We want to have a workbook with buttons that will change the Query/Query view displayed in the unique grid we have.
We've included command buttons on a workbook, as "<b>Data Provider Specific Command</b>" and chose the Queries, selecting the "<b>Assign Query / Query View</b>" option.
When using queries without variables or just SAP exit variables it works perfectly, clicking the buttons change the table displayed accordingly. But when using queries that have at least one variable, in our test to select time interval, it doesn't work anymore.
In our test, we're using just 2 queries and they have the same input variable (to select months interval); but when clicking the button no change/error occurs.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is one approach - Keep three analysis items in the WT. Assign three different data providers to all three analysis items. If you do not want to show any query when the WT first loads, don't assign any query to the data providers. When a button is pushed, you can use the command SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMATERS to assign a query to a DP so that that query will show up.
Other commands that will help you would be SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS using which you can hide analysis items and also, you can use the command BACK_TO_INITIAL_DP_STATE on data providers so that they do not show up if they were blank at the start.
Another way to hide a query is to assign the analysis item to a data provider which is blank.
For your requirements, you will have to put multiple commands behind each button - you can decide which of the above commands suit you best.

In that give a name for DP and select your query view in that screen.

View Link between two query views

Hi is it possible to create a view link between two views having the where clause bind variables.
How you set the bind variables at the run time for the View objects. It is giving hard time for me to use the Master view in the XmlData bean to generate the Xml document.
I am able to set the Master views bind variables, but for view link destination view
where clause bind variables are not able to set ( link object link condition bind variables are binded run time but the views where chause bind variables of destination view are unable to setand bind)
Thanks
null

Easiest way to do this is to add additional transient attributes to your master view object, and then include those additional transient attributes in the list of source attributes for your view link. This way, you can get BC4J to automatically refer to their values with no additional code on your part.

Try posting your software, its version, and the type of connectivity you're using for oracle.
Older versions of Crystal used a proprietary Oracle ODBC driver that came with Crystal, but you should SWITCH away from using ODBC anyway, not sure why you elected to use it, it's slower and more problematic.
You'll see Oracle Server listed as a data source, that is generally the best connectivity to use.
Also, what version of Oracle is it, and what Oracle client are you using?
You might need your Oracle dbas assistance here.
Anyway, the error is not a Crystal error, it's being raised by the ODBC driver, and Oracle used to have a maximum of 1024 colums I think it was...been a while...

Creation of Query View

Hi All,
Can someone pls explain me how to create a query view and what is its importance?
Thanks in advance.
Chaitra

Hi Chaitra,
i dont know which BW version you use but let me explain that for BW 3.5:
1.) Local Views: If you navigate in your BEx workbook - for example you start a query and navigate in Excel - you can save the view state in the BEx workbook. Than this view is a local view stored in the BEx workbook. You can open this views by using the "jump" button in the BEx toolbar.
For example you filter your query by different sales organizations and there are 4 sales orgs available. You can than filter and create a local view for each sales organization.
Its a good way to switch fast between different views within a workbook without many navigation steps. Just a click or link is enough. End users like this.
The view is saved "in the workbook".
Hint: to save use the blue save button in BEx Analyzer.
2. Global Views: You can navigate within your query in the BEx Analyzer and if you reached a good view state with the filters and the requested drill down you can save the whole view with any settings (query, characteristcs, key figures etc.) as a "global" view. In this case you must save the global view a description and a technical name. Now this view is saved "on the BW server" and any user can open this view by using the open function.
And you can use this global view in the Web Appication Designer as an initial view for tables and charts. There are many more things you can do with it. For example: if you filter for example a special sales org in a global view, than you can use a drop down box (mapped with sales org in web application designer) and the drop down box is pre filtered with this sales org. As you can see global views are important for wen reporting.
Hint: to save use the blue save button in BEx Analyzer.
Global views can be openend in the excel or web.
If you read the online help you will find more useful examples.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Adem
