Using structure in query

How can i use a structure into a query (writing code)? In some documents (SO, PO, etc.), some fields are into a structure. How can i use that field into a query?
Thank you.

Hi Was
You may use it like
SELECT <field1> <field2> FROM <databasetable> INTO <internaltable>
WHERE <field1> EQ <structure>-<field1>
AND <field2> EQ <structure>-<field2>.

Query: how to use structure and selection and what's the difference between these two?
Would be appreciated if some experts here give examples to demenstrate on how to use structure and selection in query and what's the difference between these two?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kevin,
1. Well by default all the KF that you include in your query go into a Key Figure Structure. You can additionally have another structure for defining how your chars are laid out. A common example is a Calmonth structure where you have selections for 12 months, quarers and YTD values. This would be a char structure with different selections (for each month, qtr etc)
2. Yes, a selection with a KF is the same as restricting a KF. You can use am RKF is you have one on the left hand side, or if you need to do this locally in the query, right click the structure and choose New Selection, then proceed to choose your KF and reqd char values.
Hope this helps...

How can I use a single query panel with two view criteria?

Hi all,
I have a requirement to allow users to change the "display mode" on a search results tree table for an advanced search page. What this will do is change the structure of how the data is laid out. In one case the tree table is 3 levels deep, in the other case it's only 2 with different data being at the root node.
What I've done so far:
1) I exposed the data relationship for these two ways of viewing the data in the application module's data model.
2) I created a view criteria in the two view objects that are at the root of the relationships, where (for simplicity sake) I'm only comparing a single field.
This is in one view object:
<ViewCriteria
    Name="PartsVOCriteria"
    ViewObjectName="gov.nasa.jpl.ocio.qars.model.views.PartsVO"
    Conjunction="AND">
    <Properties>... </Properties>
    <ViewCriteriaRow
      Name="vcrow23"
      UpperColumns="1">
      <ViewCriteriaItem
        Name="PartDiscrepantItemsWithIRVO"
        ViewAttribute="PartDiscrepantItemsWithIRVO"
        Operator="EXISTS"
        Conjunction="AND"
        IsNestedCriteria="true"
        Required="Optional">
        <ViewCriteria
          Name="PartDiscrepantItemsWithIRVONestedCriteria"
          ViewObjectName="gov.nasa.jpl.ocio.qars.model.views.PartDiscrepantItemsWithIRVO"
          Conjunction="AND">
          <ViewCriteriaRow
            Name="vcrow26"
            UpperColumns="1">
            <ViewCriteriaItem
              Name="InspectionRecordNumber"
              ViewAttribute="InspectionRecordNumber"
              Operator="="
              Conjunction="AND"
              Value=""
              Required="Optional"/>
          </ViewCriteriaRow>
        </ViewCriteria>
      </ViewCriteriaItem>
    </ViewCriteriaRow>
</ViewCriteria>
and this is in the other view object:
<ViewCriteria
      Name="IRSearchCriteria"
      ViewObjectName="gov.nasa.jpl.ocio.qars.model.views.InspectionRecordVO"
      Conjunction="AND">
      <Properties>... </Properties>
      <ViewCriteriaRow
         Name="vcrow7"
         UpperColumns="1">
         <ViewCriteriaItem
            Name="InspectionRecordNumber"
            ViewAttribute="InspectionRecordNumber"
            Operator="="
            Conjunction="AND"
            Required="Optional"/>
      </ViewCriteriaRow>
   </ViewCriteria>
3) I had a query panel and tree table auto-generated by dragging the data control for ONE of the view object data relationship that's exposed in the app module. Then I created a second query panel and tree table the same way but using the data control for the other. I'm hiding one of the query panels permanently and toggling the visibility of the tree tables based on the display mode the user chooses. Both tables have separate bindings and iterators.
This is a portion of the page definition:
<executables>
    <variableIterator id="variables"/>
    <searchRegion Criteria="IRSearchCriteria"
                  Customizer="oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUSearchBindingCustomizer"
                  Binds="InspectionRecordVOIterator"
                  id="IRSearchCriteriaQuery"/>
    <iterator Binds="InspectionRecordVO" RangeSize="25"
              DataControl="QARS_AppModuleDataControl"
              id="InspectionRecordVOIterator" ChangeEventPolicy="ppr"/>
    <iterator Binds="Root.QARS_AppModule.PartsVO1"
              DataControl="QarsMasterAppModuleDataControl" RangeSize="25"
              id="PartsVO1Iterator"/>
    <searchRegion Criteria="PartsVOCriteria"
                  Customizer="oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUSearchBindingCustomizer"
                  Binds="PartsVO1Iterator" id="PartsVOCriteriaQuery"/>
</executables>
4) I've created a custom queryListener to delegate the query event.
This is in my advanced search jsp page:
<af:query id="qryId1" headerText="Search" disclosed="true"
                  value="#{bindings.IRSearchCriteriaQuery.queryDescriptor}"
                  model="#{bindings.IRSearchCriteriaQuery.queryModel}"
                  queryListener="#{pageFlowScope.SearchBean.doSearch}"
                  queryOperationListener="#{bindings.IRSearchCriteriaQuery.processQueryOperation}"
                  resultComponentId="::resId2" maxColumns="1"
                  displayMode="compact" type="stretch"/>
This is in my backing bean:
public void doSearch(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
      String bindingName = flag
         ? "#{bindings.IRSearchCriteriaQuery.processQuery}"
         : "#{bindings.PartsVOCriteriaQuery.processQuery}";
      invokeMethodExpression(bindingName, queryEvent);
   private void invokeMethodExpression(String expr, QueryEvent queryEvent) {
      FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ELContext elContext = fctx.getELContext();
      ExpressionFactory eFactory = fctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      MethodExpression mexpr =
         eFactory.createMethodExpression(elContext, expr, Object.class, new Class[] { QueryEvent.class });
      mexpr.invoke(elContext, new Object[] { queryEvent });
When no inspection record number (the only search field so far) is supplied in the query panel, then it behaves correctly. Namely, the tree tables shows all search results. However, when an inspection record number is supplied the tree table that was created with the query panel in use (remember there are two query panels, one of them is hidden) shows a single result (this is correct) while the other tree table (the one with the hidden query panel that isn't in use) shows all results (this is NOT correct).
Is what I'm trying to accomplish even doable? If so, what am I missing?
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.7
Thanks,
Bill

I ended up keeping one query panel permanently visible and the other permanently hidden. When performing a search using the table that has the hidden query panel, I seed the query descriptor for the hidden query panel using the visible query panel's query descriptor and then delegate the request:
   public void doSearch(QueryEvent queryEvent) {
      String bindingName = null;
      if(isIrTableRendered()) {
         bindingName = "#{bindings.IRSearchCriteriaQuery.processQuery}";
      } else {
         seedPartsQueryDescriptor();
         bindingName = "#{bindings.PartsVOCriteriaQuery.processQuery}";
         queryEvent = new QueryEvent(partsQuery, partsQuery.getValue());
      invokeMethodExpression(bindingName, queryEvent);
   private void seedPartsQueryDescriptor() {
      ConjunctionCriterion criterion = irQuery.getValue().getConjunctionCriterion();
      for(Criterion criteria : criterion.getCriterionList()) {
         AttributeCriterion attributeCriteria = (AttributeCriterion)criteria;
         List values = attributeCriteria.getValues();
         String qualifiedName = attributeCriteria.getAttribute().getName();
         int indexOfDot = qualifiedName.lastIndexOf(".");
         String name = indexOfDot < 0
            ? qualifiedName
            : qualifiedName.substring(indexOfDot + 1);
         ConjunctionCriterion partsCriterion =
            partsQuery.getValue().getConjunctionCriterion();
         for (Criterion partsCriteria : partsCriterion.getCriterionList()) {
            AttributeCriterion partsAttributeCriteria =
               (AttributeCriterion) partsCriteria;
            String partsQualifiedName =
               partsAttributeCriteria.getAttribute().getName();
            if (partsQualifiedName.endsWith(name)) {
               partsAttributeCriteria.setOperator(attributeCriteria.getOperator());
               List partsValues = partsAttributeCriteria.getValues();
               partsValues.clear();
               for (int i = 0, count = values.size(); i < count; i++) {
                  partsValues.set(i, values.get(i));
   private void invokeMethodExpression(String expr, QueryEvent queryEvent) {
      FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
      ExpressionFactory expressionFactory =
         facesContext.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      MethodExpression methodExpression =
         expressionFactory.createMethodExpression(elContext, expr, Object.class, new Class[] { QueryEvent.class });
      methodExpression.invoke(elContext, new Object[] { queryEvent });
Then when the advanced/basic button is pressed for the visible query panel, I programmatically set the same mode for the hidden query panel:
   public void handleQueryModeChange(QueryOperationEvent queryOperationEvent) {
      if(queryOperationEvent.getOperation() == QueryOperationEvent.Operation.MODE_CHANGE) {
         QueryMode queryMode = (QueryMode) irQuery.getValue().getUIHints().get(QueryDescriptor.UIHINT_MODE);
         QueryDescriptor queryDescriptor = partsQuery.getValue();
         queryDescriptor.changeMode(queryMode);
         AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(partsQuery);

Hi,
you can have only two structures in a query. by default you will have one in the columns. And you can have one in the rows.

How to know if an Infobject is used in any query

Hi!!!
can somebody tell me how can i understand ( by technical name ) if an infoobject is used in any query ...in every mode:
as a basic infoobject
or in a structure of query
or to build a restrected keyfigure
or to build a rcalculated keyfigure.
table RSZELTDIR doasn't give this information.
It refers only to query, variable, structure or template,..not also to based infoobject ( infoobect without any delimitation )
i can't use the technical name to do this search in RSZELTDIR.
thank you very much
Fabio

Yes, Raj is right just go to the Cube/infoobject and click on where used button will show u list of queries/query elements.
or u can go to metadatarepository and look for that perticular object - click on it and it will give list of other objects, transfer rules, update rules, queries etc.... In short everything related to that object will be shown there.
Hope this helps.

Creating customer formula to be used in the Query Designer

hi,
How can i code a specific formula to be used in the query designer. As an example, i need to calculate dynamically working days between two dates.
i tried to find the corresponding BAdl interface with no success..
Do you have any suggestion ?
Ludovic

Hi..
I have a scenario ... it may help..
The group HR administrator wants a detailed line item report that lists all employee absences in a given period. The report is to show the employee number, the absence start date, together with the end date of the absence and show the number of calendar days the employee was absent.
The good thing about using this technique is that no redesign work is needed from your technical BW team, no ABAP is involved and best of all, it quick and easy.
Solution:
For this example I created an ODS object called Absence that holds basic employee information along with individual absence record data.
Follow the steps below:
     Open the BEx Query Designer and create a new report on your chosen InfoProvider.
              Drag the Employee, Valid from and Valid to characteristics into the Rows section of the screen.
If needed, apply data selection restrictions to the characteristics as pop up
     Right click on the Key Figures structure and select New Formula
     In the new formula window right click on Formula Variable and choose New Variable
     The Variables Wizard will launch and will require you to specify the variable details.
( Click the NEXT button if the Introduction screen appears )
     Enter the variable details on the General Information as shown in pop up
Enter the Variable Name , Description and select Replacement Path in the Processing by field.
Click the Next Button.
     In the Characteristic screen (pop up) select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date).
Click the Next Button.
     The Save Variable screen (pop up) displays a summary of the new variable.
Click on the Finish button to save the variable.
     Repeat steps first four for to create a second variable for the second date to be used in the calculation.
In the example shown, the characteristic 0DATETO is used to create the variable ABSEND (Absence End Date)
Define the Calculation............
            The new calculated key figure will now show in the columns section of the BEx query designer
excute...

Corrupted structures within query's

Any help appreciated.
I have a structure within a query which seems to have become corrupted in some way and therefore no longer works. When the structure is re-created in exactly the same way however it works fine. The structure is used in several query's and I do not want to have to re-create it again in each of them. Is there any way I can find out why a structure has become corrupted?, or fix it in a way which will refresh all the related query's?
For info; the BW system has recently been upgraded from BW3.1 to BI7.
Many Thanks

Lee,
try reimporting your structure from DEV.... it could be possible that it has got corrupted due to some changes not being done properly.
Am not too sure if you can do a where used list for the same.... try using the where used list in the query designer but usually it is local to the query

Shared Services, using openldap to query MSAD

Hello,
I would like to know if this is possible to configure. I would like to setup an openldap server and use that to query MSAD. Shared Services would have a connection to that openldap server and the openldap server would query MSAD and in return pass that to SS. Has anyone had any experience doing so? Yes I know I can setup just an ldap connection but within our AD structure, user's do not sit in one OU. They are all over the place. I could setup the base dn to the 'root' but we have over 15,000 users and that would result in a slow SS startup. The openldap server would be used to filter out the queries to AD and have it's own cache/database..
Thanks

Hi Santosh,
Not yet implemented, but I was thinking on overriding the query listener and creating a view critera on the second view object as a copy of the first one. That involves capturing operands, operators and values set and then applying the criteria and executing the query.
Anyway, in case you don't need complex operators in the search area but can add them as where clauses to the query statement, you can use search forms instead of query components as Shay Shmeltzer suggests in [url http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2010/12/combining_multiple_queries_and.html?goback=.gde_1002457_news_308820955]his post.

Use evdre to query data from a SQL View

Hi all
I believe that it is possible to use evdre to query data from a SQL View. If this is possible then how does one go about setting it up in the evdre options (assuming that the view has already been created)?
Regards,
Byron

Byron, perhaps this is no longer supported, it might be worth opening up a case at service.sap.com on this. However, I did find the following on Page 11 of the "Usages and Considerations of EVDRE" pdf file. This doc is imbedded in the helpfile for BPC 7 SP5 (which was released in August of 2009, well after note 1315011 was last updated.
It looks like you are limited to one custom view per application, since you have to name the view in a parameter at the APPLICATION level. Go into BPC Administration, login to the application related to the custom view, choose "Set Application Parameters" and enter the name of the view to the Application Parameter called "EVDRE_QUERYVIEWNAME" If it is not listed, go ahead and create it at the bottom of the Application parameter screen.
Also: I interpreted the following info from Page 10 of the same doc:
In your EVDRE, set the following options:
QueryEngine: MANUAL
QueryType: enter either NEXJ OR TUPLE see below:
NEXJ - Use two-dimensional queries using the nonemptycrossjoin function
TUPLE - Use two-dimensional queries using tuples"
And I'm assuming you'd enter a Y for the following two parameters:
QueryViewName
"..to enforce the query engine to use a used-defined SQL view of the fact tables, when trying to read the values using SQL queries. This option is typically used in conjunction with the SQLOnly option (see below). "
Option SQLOnly
"..to enforce the query engine to only execute SQL queries, when reading data. This can be achieved using this option."

Using a SQL Query in an Alert and Matching a String

I've created an alert in 12.0.4 using a SQL Query and the field that I'm trying to match is a string. Originally the query returned multiple rows but when the alert still didn't fire, I modified the query WHERE clause to return only one row:
NAME RESPONSE
Are area lights working? No
My expression in the metric is RESPONSE. In the Monitor I'm matching a string equal to No. (Do I need double quotes around the matchvalue? Single quotes? No quotes?) The metric is in the 15min scan group, the role is xMII Developers and I'm in that role. The monitor alert string is ' = '. Both metric and monitor are active and I've subscribed to the monitor. Other alerts in the 15min scan group (all based on tag queries) are firing off properly.
Why is nothing showing up in the Alert Log?

David,
Did you figure out the answer? If not, I will try to find someone to address your question.

How to make an index use in a query execution

Hi,
I have the below query for which ename column has an index. As of my knowledge below queries 1st and 2st will not use index. Hence i used the 3rd statement and that too its not using the index. Finally i used the 4th query, but even the 4th query is not using the index. Then how do i make this query to use my index??? Do i need to create a function based index for this??? Is that the final option????
1. select * from emp where ename !='BH' ;
2. select * from emp where ename <> 'BH';
3. select * from emp where ename not in ('BH');
4. select * from emp where ename < 'BH' or ename > 'BH';

Sorry 007, I really thought you were posting a trick question as on the OCP tests.
Anyway, as Justin mentioned, if you have an index on ename, it may be used when doing a comparison predicate statement with the ename value.
What it depends on are several other things: stats, how many rows in the table, use of an index hint, etc.
Rather than questioning the group on this, why not just turn on autotrace and run the query for the different scenarios.
The output will show you if it used the index, number of rows returned, blocks read, etc.
SQL> create table emp (ename varchar2(40));
Table created.
SQL> insert into emp select username from sys.dba_users;
25 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> set autotrace on
SQL> select * from emp where ename != 'SYSTEM';
