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.

Virtual infoobjects: technical name in source and target systems

Hello Everybody,
actually I got a problem: I´ve created a virtual characteristic which is working fine on development system.
However after transporting to target system the BADI implementation containing the virtual infoobject dumps:
assign component 'Z____723' of structure cs_data to .
Is there any other way to avoid using these technical names 'Z____723' and use e.g. 0customer instead?
I would have expected, that the technical name for the virtual characteristic in my case 'Z____723' for 0customer will be the same in dev as in prod.
Thank You!

In my case I need to copy a Production Client (say 900) to a Test Client on a test machine (say client 700), what I came to know was that this is basically a client copy, but since the size of data involved is to the tune of 500GB +, it is System Copy.
Client Copy and System Copy are two different method to transfer the data and process are toatally different.
>> Also if on the present test machine I am to keep the present client 700 and if the resources permit, create a new client (say 800) and copy client 900 to it, is it a System Copy.
No. It will be client copy which is not possible as your Source/Target system are on different Support Pack level.
Or if I copy the client 900 to the existing client 700, is this a System Refresh ???
No. It will again a Client copy. You have confused between System Copy and Client Copy. I would suggest to to read first what is the difference between these two and the process to do that.

Error opening test scripts in Build and Debug with Screens

Hello,
I am testing scenarios in the Build and Debug with screens mode in OPM. I save each scenario as a test script by clicking the Export button and saving. Some test scripts are able to be opened again, yet when I try to open others, I get the error message shown at the link below and am unable to load the test script.
http://imgur.com/uqh80
This did not happen previously, it just started today. All of these test scripts were created today, and the attributes have not been changes since the test scripts were created. This is seriously hindering my scenario testing ability.
Does anyone know how to rectify this problem?
Thanks,
Christine

Hi Kristy,
I am in OPM 10.2.
To troubleshoot, I tried redoing the test scenarios that werent working from scratch (rather than building off a previous scenario), and this time it worked. I am not sure why it works now and didnt before, and I am also not sure if they will continue working.
I will continue creating the scenarios and will be sure to update if it fails again. In the case it does fail, I will try your export recommendation.

LSMW testing and Debugging

Hi
I really need help about testing and debugging LSMW. I really appreciate if anybody can provide me enough help on how to test LSMW and Debug in QA environment
Pls help me

Once you input the Project, Subproject and Objec on the initial screen and execute it.
Here you are guided through the individual steps of data migration. Example: Maintain Object attribute...etc.
on the application tool bar, click on the personal menu push button, you will list of all the steps. Check the Display conversion program.
After you maintain the field mapping, read data and convert data. you can execute the Display conversion program step. This will display the generated progrom.
Here you can set the <b>break point</b>.
Other way is while doing the field mapping, you can set hard break-point.

Query on BCS virtual cube is not using the aggregates on BCS basic cube

Hi all,
I have BCS Virtual cube which is linked to BCS Basic cube. I built aggregates on BCS Basic cube.
I created simple query on BCS basic cube and ran in debug mode of rsrt, it showed the aggregates on bcs basic cube. But when I created the same query on BCS vitual cube and ran it rsrt debug mode the query did not show any aggregates, that was strange.
So My questions is whether query built on virtual bcs can utilize the aggregates built BCS basic cube, if possible please let me knows the tweaks.
Thanks,
Raj.

1. Goto se37. Enter RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ and choose Display.
2. In line 82 (in a BW 3.5) there is a line that says:
CLEAR: e_t_data, e_end_of_data, e_aggregate, e_split_occurred.
Put the cursor in there and press the 'stop shield' or use CtrlShiftF12.
3. In the same mode open transaction RSRT and choose your query. Execute it. If you stop at the breakpoint, enter I_TH_SFC into one of the fields in the lower left area and press Enter. You should see a table with the characteristics you need in the system.
As I said I'm not quite sure if it works. I have access to a BCS system on monday. I'll try then to find out more.
Best regards
Dirk

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..

Hope it helps....

BEx query based on virtual cube donu00B4t display a valid List of Value (LOV)

Hello
I have a problem with an invalid LOV. The scenario is the following; There´s a BEx query based on a virtual cube. The query has an exit variable on caracteristic that is based on 0CALMONTH.
At Universe Designer I simply create a connection, a universe based on this query and export.
At Web Intelligence (also at Live Office), when I try to execute de query, the prompt to fill my exit variable display a list of value that doesn´t match with the values of the caracteristic at the cube.
Actually, the list at the prompt starts with 01.0000 and finishes with 05.0968.
In Universe Designer, the option to edit the list of values is not available. But I think that editing the LOV is not the correct way.
I´ve tried creating a new query based on the DSO that is the source of the virtual cube. In this case, I had a valid list. Unfortunately, I can´t use this DSO.
Did anyone already have this problem?

Hi James,
can you explain what you mean with "input length for that filed" ?
The field in the table is varchar2(120). I coudn't found options for the List of value.
Thanks for your response

Issue with Query on a virtual infoprovider

Hello,

this query has been running fine before the upgrade. In the selection screen there are two fields - version1 and version2, if I am specifying same value in both the fields then the query runs fine and if I am providing different values then the above stated error message appears.
I have tried different settings with properties - Read mode: H,A,X and also different combination from the properties of the virtual infoprovider - with and w/o hierarchies; with and w/o navigation attributes but it did not workout.
the only thing which has changed on this virtual provider is that I had enabled delta caching as this was supposed to be used in a multiprovider.
Has anyone experienced similar issue or have an idea as to what is going wrong here. Please advice.
Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,
I have exactly the same issue with a query on a virtual infoprovider after upgrading from BI 3.5 to BI 7.0 EHP1 (SP5) and from SEM BCS 4.0 to BCS 6.0.
Would you be so kind to tell me how you fixed this. (other queries seem to be working)

Hi Andrey,
Exchange Web Service in Exchange server configuration is working for all users in your Exchange environment, not just for one specific user. If you want to double make sure the EWS service in client side, we can directly access the EWS URL in IE of your
Windows machine, and see whether a proper XML file is returned. If so, then we can safely ignore the web service test result.
As for automatic signature application, do you mean
Add a signature automatically to every message? Please try to remove the signature and reset it again to check whether the issue persists.

Issues with test-all role and browser security

WLS 10.3.5
I have a deployed application on Linux using a SQLAuthentication and Authorization - all is well here.
I have setup all the security (without the test-all role) and I cannot access any of the system.
If I put the test-all role in - I can access the system.
I have verified the user has all the roles (I used the example bean to display the user and roles on the menu page) and the test-all role is not in the list.
I have the menu setup to not display items unless the user has the role (this is working fine - SecurityContext.inRole(rolelist).
So the context is fine.
I used jazn-data to set the same roles in the taskflows - this is not working at all unless the test-all role is set - I get authorization errors - not authorized).
Have I missed something in this?
I have also noticed that if I close the browser (X) without logging out and come back into the system the authentication is totally bypassed and I go back in as the same user as before.
Is there some way to destroy the previous context every time the welcome screen is executed.

Add the following parameters to the Run options for the ViewController project:
-Djps.auth.debug=true -Djps.auth.debug.verbose=true
Then restart WebLogic, run the app and watch the console - you'll see all the security evaluations take place which should help you to identify the problem.

Using different hierarchy in a query and last value error

Hi guys,
there is a hierarchy for customers in the 0Customer Infoobject which I should use in my query.
I have activated the hierarchy in the query and now some results are not appearing but red crosses "x" are shown.
And the error message: The function Calculate Results as ... could not be applied everywhere.
I know that I am using the result as "last value" for some columns because I need them there (for example: to determine the last value for the credit limit of the current month). I think these columns where I am using the last value calculation are only affected.
I mean my query has a lot of characteristics and key figures and I was told that a hiearchy for customers which is available should be used. But now there are these red crosses.
I don´t see any other solution as not to use this specific hierarchy.
Has anybody a suggestion what could be an argument to use or not to use a hierarchy?
Is it sometimes like in my case that a hierarchy is not possible to use?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
say for example your customer hierarchy is customers grouped under region. You can maintain this region as one of the attribute of customer and you can display this attribute in the report. Indirectly, this will give similar output to that of hierarchy.
But lot depends on how your hierarchy is formed, before commenting whether it can be moved to master data attributes.
Thanks.

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.

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.

Autorization issue with SAP Query and RPTQTA10

Dear all,
I am having some difficulties with autorisations in SAP Query and Report RPTQTA10.
in IT2006 I have a subtype 03 which should not be accessible for a group of users.
Also I have created a test employee with a sybtype of IT2006 which is allowd and one which is not allowed.
When I run some reports with that user I get a nice result with PT50. Only the allowed subtypes are being displayed.
When I try to run A SAP Query or report PRTQTA10, the employee is not visible and seems to end op in an error list.
Can someone shed some light on this issue?
Kind regards,
Patrick

Hallo,
Follow like this...
Role 1:-
authorization level: R, W (You should not give W, R. You should give either W or M, R, Any way it will not create any problem)
Infotype: 2006 -Ok
Pers area: * -Ok
Emp group: * -Ok
Emp sub group: * -Ok
profile: ALL*, ZBHR_OS etc etc -Ok
Subtype: 01, 02 - Keep only sub type 01, 02
fuction group: * -Ok
Role 2:-
authorization level: R, W (You should not give W, R. You should give either W or M, R, Any way it will not create any problem)
Infotype: 2006 -Ok
Pers area: * -Ok
Emp group: * -Ok
Emp sub group: * -Ok
profile: ALL*, ZBHR_OS etc etc -Ok
Subtype: 03 - Keep only sub type 03
fuction group: * -Ok
Then user who want only sub type 01 & 02 then assign role 1 and he will not have access to sub type 03
User who want only sub type 03 access, then assign role 2 only so that he will not have access to sub type 01 & 01
User who want sub type 01, 02 & 03 access, gibe Role 1 & Role 2
Hope it clarifies.

Purnima

Shared Components APEX Report Query and Layout

Does anyone know how to call the report query and layout from the Shared components section from a page within the application?

What I need is this: The ability to create a PDF report with a custom header defining the data (example - select * from emp where deptno = :deptno and the header includes the department name).
I use this white paper as my source: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/custom-pdf-reports-1953918.pdf
You need to build and use a Shared Resource -> Report Queries.
The Report Query will have two queries associated with it (see below).
one query will be for the header information, the other will be for the data.
use the "download" of the "xml data" as your source for Altova/other tools.
If you add/remove/change queries, You'll have to redo your report (from scratch) as that changes the XML Schema required. (at least, with my experience)
Once you get the hang of it, 2x queries is easy (Header, data)
I've experimented with 3x queries (header, master,details) but have been unsuccessful. I have some ideas though ("link" master->detail info via XPath stuff within Altova) but haven't gotten around to testing it.
If you want to run the report for multiple departments....That might require some finesse.
Unfortunately, the Source of the Queries can't be a scalar SQL that returns 1 row of 1 column of data type XMLType....
