Using BW Query in designing Universe

Hello Experts,
I want to create Universe from BW Query. Can anyone tell me what are the steps of using BW query in Universe designing?
I successfully connected my BW Dev. server with BO Universe and able to select Cubes in designing universes but I was not able to select any queries.
Regards,
Nirav Shah

Hi Nirav,
in order to be able to select BW queries when building a universe you have to first allow external access on them. You can do this by opening the desired query with the SAP query designer (Business Explorer Tools) and navigate to the properties of your query. In the "advanced" tab just check the "Allow external access to this query" option.

Using hierarchies from SAP BW BEx Query in BO Universe

Hello,
I'm trying to use a hierarchy (e.g. a simple customer class hierarchy) which is a part of a BEx Query in a BO Universe. But until now I have not found a way to get a hierarchy from a BEx Query working in a BO Unvierse.
1. Is it generally possible to use hierarchies in BEx Queries with a BO universe? (at the moment I can see all characteristics and keyfigures from the query... but I can't see the hierarchy levels for the characteristic)
2. If 1) is possible: I want to use a hierachy variable to select a hierarchy depnding on the user who is using a report... that's not a problem in BEx. But: Is it possible to use this query/scenario with a BO universe? Does the BO universe update itself automatically if the hierarchy has changed in a BEx query?
I've tried it with SAP BW 3.5 and SAP BI 7.0. BO Release is XI 3.0. Unfortunatelly without result.
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
1) Hierarchies are mapped in the same way as custom-made universe hierarchies. When a hierarchy is defined on a characteristic in the BW Query, Designer creates one hierarchical structure in the universe, with a subclass for each level in the hierarchy. The structure depends on the current BW Query definition.
2) If the number of levels in a hierarchy changes in the BW query, you must update the universe. In the universe connection select *Use Single Sign On when refreshing
reports at view time* to allow the user to benefit from SAP SSO.
Hope this helps

WebI Report using BW Query

Hi,
I am using WebI Report using BW Query. I don't see some Formulas in Universe which is there in BEx Query.
Did anybody face the same problem before?

Hi,
I meant that you should post in the forum the calculation contained in the formula that you cannot see in your universe.
But let's start from the begining since you are new to SAP: Did you generated the universe yourself? If the formula was added in the query after the universe was created then you must refresh your universe (In the Universe designer please select the option "Refresh structure" under the "view" menu) in order to get the newly created formula (I assume we are takling about a calculate figure here) in your universe also.

How to use a query in Web template

Hello i have really a very silly question.
How can i use a Query that is already defined by BEX into a Web template so that i can set up simple properties like changing colours of Row as well as avoid Tab pages.
I logged into a Web template.
Can any provide step by steps.
Please help

No questions is silly, doubt is always a doubt and clarifying the same is the best way to deal with that.
Anyway philosophy apart and coming to business.
1) created the query in Query designer, say Zquery1
2) logon to WAD.
3) for assigning Zquery1 to WAD template, you haev to decide how you are going to use Zquery1 in WAD.
4) for ex: you want to display the query result and also a graph based on that result.
5) So we have to drag drop Chart and table in WAD.
6) create dataprovider and assign zquery1 to this dataprovider.
7) save and execute.
For chanding the colors, under properties, we will have many stylesheets delivered by SAP. Yiou can choose anyone on this which suits to your requirement. If not, then edit the stylesheet and code it as per your need.
Hope this helps. If yes, please assgin points.

How to use three part name with using dynamic query.

Dear all, (sqlserver 2008 express r2)
q1)following is showing error, is it possible to accomplish the task with out using dynamic query.
DECLARE @A VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @A1 VARCHAR(100)
SET @A='DB1'
SET @A1='DBO'
SELECT * FROM @[email protected]
q2) table value function is not accepting dynamic query , is there any way to do this task.
yours sincerley

Certain parts in an SQL query like FROM tablename cannot be local variables. In such a case, dynamic SQL can be applied:

As noted above, more information needed to decide if dynamic SQL the correct solution in this instance.

Using Bex Query with cell definition with WEBI

Hi,
Currently I am using a Bex query as a datasource for a webi, normally this works ok but I am having trouble with one particular query.
This query has cell definitions defined in the query. When i import the query into WEBI I get an MDX error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Flash

Hi,
We do not see all elements of the BW query in the universe, just those not using cell definitions.
We are currently on Business objects XI 3.1
Using BW 3.5
And the query runs fine using RSRT, it does show some asterix for some of the values but this can be removed by filtering on currency type in BW report
Thank You,

Thank you for your advise.
Notto Zung

Hi,
NoDim is a function of the Bex query formula , so you can't delegate that to the cube.
What object is, and what are you trying to do.   For example, Sales, and trying to leave out Currency attribute.
You can do an awdful of customizing in a Business Layer or Data Foundation, that is where your solution where probably come from.

Using SQL query directly in DI

Hi,
I have a five long SQL query that extracts columns from 2 tables based on conditions and creates 5 new tables with new columns. The query looks some thing like this:
select a.num_1, b.unid, c.tycod, min(b.csec) - min(a.csec) turnout into
#tab1
from un_hi a
left join un_hi b on a.num_1 = b.num_1
and ((a.unid = b.unid and left(b.unid,1) not in ('E','Q') and
left(a.unid,1) not in ('E','Q'))
or (right(a.unid,len(a.unid)-1) = right(b.unid,len(b.unid)-1)
and left(b.unid,1) in ('E','Q') and left(a.unid,1) in ('E','Q')))
and b.unit_status = 'ER'
left join aeven c on a.num_1 = c.num_1 and c.rev_num = 1
where a.num_1 like 'F011%' and a.unit_status in ('DP','XE')
group by a.num_1, b.unid, c.tycod;
Is there any way i can directly incorporate the above query in DI and run? The source file is excel sheet and output is SQL server.
Should i use the script in the work flow to execute the query?
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Arun

I am not sure if BODI can execute SQL directly from Excel sheet as source...
Though, you may try to create a File Format for your excel sheet (& multiple tabs), set it as source then use the Query Transform to apply your SQL?
As stated in the Designer Guide:
The Query transform can perform the following operations:
u2022 Choose (filter) the data to extract from sources
u2022 Join data from multiple sources
u2022 Map columns from input to output schemas
u2022 Perform transformations and functions on the data
u2022 Perform data nesting and unnesting
u2022 Add new columns, nested schemas, and function results to the output
schema
u2022 Assign primary keys to output columns
Hope this helps!

How to add the fields to the transaction 'Z10SD25' using ABAP Query

Hello,
I want to add the new fields like 'From' and 'To' depending on some conditiions. But i have to do this using ABAP Query.
Can any one help me with this as I am not much aware of ABAP Query .
Regards,
Darshana

Hi,
ABAP/4 query can be designed in four steps
1.     Creation of a user group
2.     Creation of Infoset
3.     Assignment of user group to Infoset
4.     Creation of the query based on Infoset
By executing the transaction codes mentioned below
u2022     SQ01   ABAP/4 Query
u2022     SQ02   Infosets
u2022     SQ03   User group
Step 1: To create an Infoset without a logical database
One of the following can be selected
u2022     Based on a single table
u2022     Using an ABAP/4 program
u2022     Using Table Joins
u2022     Using Sequential Dataset
NOTE: The tables to be used in the join should have at least one field in common i.e. it should have the same name, domain or data element.
Step 2: Here you specify the users who should be authorized to run the query. A user group is always associated with a Infoset.
Step 3: In Query Definition you can define the Selections Screen. Here you can check against the fields(fields from the tables specified in the infoset above) that you require to be shown on the selection screen.
Now we Finally need to specify the output type for the query as Basic List, Statistics or Ranked List. Choose the option Basic List and also select the fields to be displayed in the output list(in your case from and to fields...)
After providing all the above options you can save the query and execute it by clicking the Execute button twice.
Hope this helps
Regards
Shiva

Checking correct data format using sql query

1) I got column date of joining which accepts date in below format
DD-MON-YYYY
DD-MON-YY
MON-DD-YYYY
MON-DD-YY
Month DD,YYYY
Question:- how do i check whether all dates in Date of joining column are in above format or not using sql query?
2) I got one more date column which accepts date in below format
MMDDYYYY
YYYYMMDD
MM/DD/YYYY
MM/DD/YY
YYYY/DD/MM
Question:- how do i check whether all dates in date column are in above format or not using sql query?
sorry if it is a very simple question since I am new to sql and trying to learn ......Thanks for the answers from the group............

In short, NO, it's not possible. If you store dates correctly in the database as DATE datatype then you don't have this problem. If you store them as VARCHAR2 you have a problem.
So, you get a date of 20092012
Is that 20th September 2012? or is it 20th December 2009?
What about...
11-Jan-12
Is that 11th January 2012 or 12th January 2011?
Dates should never be stored on the database as strings. That is why Oracle gives you a DATE datatype so you can store them properly.
Also, when dates are passed from an application to the database, the application should be passing them as DATE datatype, and the application interface should be designed to accept dates from the user in a format specific to their country/locality and it would then know what that format is and automatically convert it to a DATE datatype before it gets anywhere near the database or any SQL.

Query layout designer

i have generated a report in sap buisness one using query layout designer.now i want to deploy that report in another machine.
how to deploy query layout designer?

Hi Atasi,
You can use Copy express add-on to copy the Query and the Query Print layout from one database to another.
1. Install copy express on customer server
2. Restore a copy of your database in the Customer Server as well.
3. Copy from the restored database to the Live database of Customer using Copy Express.
Copy Express is a very simple add-on and easy to use.
Hope this helps.

Create ShortCut For Query Layout Design

Hi All !!!
I Designed a Report By Query Layout Design , so I want to Create ShortCut for it , Because . If I want to use This Report , I will do a lot Step .
Please Help me.
Thank alot .

There is no specific SDK function for this, you could however write code to automate the manual steps:-
- Launch Query Manager (ActivateMenuItem 4865)
- Iterate through query groups in Item "6", and expand the group containing your query
- Iterate through queries within the group, and use click method to highlight the required query
- Call Print or Print Preview (ActivateMenuItem 520 / 519)

Audit mviews which are used by query rewrite

Hi all,
on of our main customers want to find out which MVIEWS are used after an automated query rewrite.
Example:
select * from OP_SUM_BACKLOG_DAY_SAP_001;
select * from dba_audit_trail
where timestamp > trunc(sysdate)
and username = 'SMITH'
and obj_name = 'OP_SUM_BACKLOG_DAY_SAP_001'
This following statement is using the same MVIEW because of aggregations and the use of query rewrite:
SELECT fbld_ddat_sales_month,
         SUM (fbld_dummy_zero) fbld_dummy_zero,
         SUM (fbld_dummy_null_number) fbld_dummy_null_number,
         SUM (fbld_oab_quantity) fbld_oab_quantity
    FROM op_fct_backlog_day_sap
GROUP BY fbld_ddat_sales_month;
This query is never listed in dba_audit_trail!!!

Hi,
Get the UID of your query from the query designer (select query in the properties window, goto Advanced tab).
Pass it to table RSZELTXREF (pass query UID to field SELTUID and 'VAR' to field LAYTP). This gives the list of variables used in the query. Now got to table RSZGLOBV, pass all the variable IDs (field values for TELTUID from table RSZELTXREF) to the field VARUNIID and restrict VPROCTP to '6'. This gives a list of all the auth variables used in a query.

Murali.
