IE Java crash when editing existing query

Frequently in the last few days, IE has crashed (window closed) many times. This happens when trying to edit an existing query. I have that window opening separately so that I still have the folder window open and i don't loose that. Some colleages told me they are experiencing the same problems recently. The last thing I see is "Building User Interface".

Hi
how many data rows does your repor tnormally fetch? What kind of web server do you use?

Starting BeX Query Designer from Crystal opens older version Designer

Hi,
When starting the BeX Query Designer from Crystal Reports 2008, the older 3.5 version of the designer is started and hence wanting to edit a query that was designed in 2004s raises the error: "This component was edited with a more recent version of the editor. You also have to use the more recent version to edit further. Further processing is not possible. Update your front-end".
The latest version is installed, it seems that Crystal by default opens the 3.5 version that was installed with the 710 GUI and Business Explorer etc ... Is this by design and can one set something somewhere to use the 2004s version via Crystal Reports.
Any insight is welcome.
Jacques

Hi Jacques,
that is a known issue in the toolbar of Crystal Reports.
You can start the Query Designer 3.5 / 7.0 from the BEx menu item

CSS Designer keeps switching from the media query I want to edit to Global

CSS Designer keeps switching from the media query I want to edit to Global. How can I keep it in the same editing mode so that I'm not all of a sudden making global changes instead of confined to the particular media query?

I feel your pain. I see that using styles apply to the entire paragraph.
So I have a kluge until some really bright minds step in.
Open the Pages document that you need to edit.
Have in memory a single word that is in (red) in your desired font style.
Just type a word in (red), make your font color adjustments. Copy the (red) word into memory. Delete from the document. I put this in parantheses.
Paste the (red) word where you want to make an edit
Sample
I have to edit papers that require me to type red words into each sentence, sometimes several times per sentence.
Every time I write a word in red, the next time I click into the sentence (or anywhere else on the document), the color defaults back to black.
So let's say you want three edits. I am showing all three, but you'd just do it as you encounter things that need correcting.
Sample
I have to edit papers that require me to type red words into each sentence, sometimes several times per sentence (red).
Every time I write (red) a word in red, the next time I click (red) into the sentence (or anywhere else on the document), the color defaults (red)back to black.
Type directly into the (red) or double click on red and make your edit(s) one at a time.

In BI Bex Query Designer output, dont want to have unit at column Heading..

Hi
I have a BI Bex Query Designer report showing output with Qty unit at Column Heading level. Even in KF's Text i didn't mention unit. I want unit to appear to column fields instead of column heading. Pls let me know how to do that.
One more thing is: i have 2 reports exactly same except due date range is different. first report showing unit for each KF at the column heading level and for 2nd report showing column fields level... Surprising. Pls let me know what is the reason and how to control it.
Thanks...

Hi Harpal,
Key figures can have scaling factors and units/currencies. Normally, units/currencies are displayed for every key figure, but not the scaling factors. If you activate the Display Scaling Factors for Key Figures, an additional header row is added to the row or column header. Information about the scaling factor and currency/unit appears in this additional header row, as long as it is consistent (for example, 1,000 EURO).
For more information, You can go through

Authorization in BEx Query Designer: "read only" for definitions of variables

Hello,
I`m developing a concept of authorizations for key user who should be able to maintain certain
objects in the query designer. For other objects they should have access “read only”.
The users have authorizations to design new queries. They should be able to use existing variables
(SAP Business Content ( 0*) and customer variables (z*). On this point, I have a problem: in the selection window of the query designer there are only buttons to create, to delete and to edit a variable.
The user must have authorizations for changing, although he just wants to look for the definition
of a variable (if he wants to see their basic or global settings before using the variable).
I can´t find a possibility to switch from “edit” to “read only”.
The users should only see and apply variables from others (SAP, collegues), but he mustn´t be able to
change them.
The user needs the following authorization objects: S_RS_COMP , activity =02 (change), also
authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If I give the users only activity 03 (display),
the user get the message: “display not allowed”.
Is there any possibility to give a key user the authorization to display all variables with
their definitions?
Best regards
Ricarda Seyb

Hi raghukan,
This is may be due to the authorization but still you can check the consistency check for these queries using RSRV.

Pb with language logon and data display Query designer

Hello,
I do the translations (FR => EN) via RSA1 and SE63 of my variables of my Query for the query designer.
It works I have no technical name that appears in the query designer.
But when I run my query using the query designer, the query is displayed in French while I am logged in English.
I want the query is displayed in english when I'm logged into English.
How can I do?
Thank you pour votre aide.
Edited by: KhalidTaibi on Jul 6, 2010 6:31 PM

Hello,
Per I can understand, you are executing the query from Query Designer.
So, if you are using Query designer 7.0, you are calling the Enterprise Portal.
Even with English on Query Designer, you have to logon as english on the
Portal, as well.
Try to check your Browser configuration.
On Internet Explorer:
Tools
Internet Option
Language
Check if English is configured as the first language.
Also, ensure the query1s objects exists on english version.
Best regards,
Edward John

Cell definition choice in Query Designer is inactive

In the Query Designer the choice "Define cells" is inactive, or grayed out. Why is this? Is there a global setting or does it have something to do with the query itself?

Hi TMV,
if you want to see the "cell " option in active mode , first u must have two structures.
one is charactersitc structure and on key figure.
Just go throw the below description.
Hi,
just go throw the below description:
In the Query Designer, choose View ® Cells from the menu bar to reach the functions of the cell definition. The Cells screen area is displayed.
New selection
1. Select a cell in the Cell screen area and choose New Selection with the secondary mouse button. The new selection that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
2. Select the new selection and choose Edit from the context menu. The Change Selection Cells dialog box appears. Make the basic settings on the General tab page.
3. Use Drag&Drop to define your required selection by dragging a key figure and the characteristic values by which you want to restrict the key figure to the right-hand area of the Details of the Selection dialog box. See Defining Selections.
You can use characteristic value variables instead of fixed characteristic values.
- If you want to change an existing variable, select the variable and choose Edit from the context menu. The variables editor appears and you can change the settings.
- If you want to define a new variable, select the characteristic value and choose New Variable from the context menu. The new variable is displayed. Choose Edit from the context menu of the new variable. The variables editor appears and you can define the settings.
For more information, see Defining Variables.
4. Enter a description for the selection.
You can use text variables in the description.
5. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the selection on the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Properties.
6. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
New formula
1. Select a cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Formula from the context menu. The new formula that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
2. Select the new formula and choose Edit from the context menu. The Change Formula Cell dialog box appears. Make the basic settings on the General tab page.
3. Define your formula using the operands and functions available. See Defining Formulas.
4. Enter a description of the formula.
You can use text variables in the description.
5. Make any necessary settings for the properties of the formula in the other tab pages. See Selection/Formula Properties.
6. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
New cell reference
You can use any cell that you define in a formula. If you want to reuse the value from the implicit, generic cell definition that is automatically created at the intersection of the two structural components of a query, select this cell in the Cell screen area and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Cell Reference. A description taken from the two structural components now automatically appears in the cell. The symbol shows you that a cell reference exists for this exception cell. Now you can reference this cell. You can continue to use the implicit cell definition and do not have to manually generate this value using a new selection.
Functions of explicitly defined cells:
Select a defined cell and choose the required function from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
● Edit
● Cut
● Copy
● Paste
● Remove
● Where-Used List
Before you delete a cell, you can check for the formulas in which the defined cell is used in the where-used list.
You reach the properties of a defined cell by selecting the defined cell. In the Properties screen area you can also make changes such as:
● Changing the description of the cell
● Changing the highlighting of the cell
● Hiding the cell ( if you do not want to see the values of the cell)
Help cells
In the Help Cells area you can define additional cells for help selections or help formulas. You can use the functions New Selection and New Formula in the context menu to define help cells that are not displayed in the query to serve only as objects for help selections and help formulas.
For example, you can define an invoice in a help cell and use this in a real cell to calculate a duplicated invoice.
a. Using the secondary mouse button, click on the empty cell next to Help Cells to reach the context menu. From here, choose New Selection.
b. Use Drag&Drop to drag the Invoice key figure into the right-hand Details of the Selection area.
c. Enter a description.
d. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
e. Now choose New Formula from the context menu of the required cell of the query. The new formula that is not yet defined appears in the cell.
f. Select the new formula and choose Edit from the context menu.
g. Use Drag&Drop to drag the cell you have just defined, which you can find in the Available Operands window under Cells, into the Detail View window. Click on the button twice.
h. Enter a description.
i. Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
Result
You have defined one or more exception cells for a query.

Cell Defination in Query Designer

Hi, Gurus,
Acn any one explain wht is cell dfination and for wht we r uing in query designer...............
Regards,
Ramakrishna K

Hi,
Defining Exception Cells
Use
When you define selection criteria and formulas for structural components and there are two structural components of a query, generic cell definitions are created at the intersection of the structural components that determine the values to be presented in the cell.
Cell-specific definitions allow you to define explicit formulas, along with implicit cell definition, and selection conditions for cells and in this way, to override implicitly created cell values. This function allows you to design much more detailed queries.
In addition, you can define cells that have no direct relationship to the structural components. These cells are not displayed and serve as containers for help selections or help formulas.
Prerequisites
The query contains two structures. You can define exception cells only for queries which have two structures. You can use the one structure for characteristic values and key figures for the other. You can then define cells if these prerequisites have been met.
A cell is the intersection between two structural components. The term Cell for the function Defining Exception Cells should not be confused with the term Cell in MS Excel. The formulas or selection conditions that you define for a cell always take effect at the intersection between two structural components. If a drilldown characteristic has two different characteristic values, the cell definition always takes effect at the intersection between the characteristic value and the key figure.
Procedure
In the Query Designer toolbar, choose Define Cells... to reach the cell definition functions.
New selection
       1.      Select a cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, from the context menu, choose New Selection.
       2.      Define your selection by dragging a key figure and the characteristic values by which you want to restrict the key figure (using Drag&Drop) to the right-hand area of the New Selection dialog box. See also Defining Selections
You can use characteristic value variables instead of fixed characteristic values.
-         If you want to change an existing variable, select this variable and, from the context menu, choose Edit. The SAP BW Variables Editor appears. For more information, see Changing Variables in the Variable Editor.
-         If you want to define a new variable, select the characteristic value and, from the context menu, choose New Variable. The SAP BW Variables Wizard appears. For more information, see Defining Variables with the Variable Wizard.
       3.      Enter a description for the selection.
You can use Text Variables in the description.
       4.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
New formula
       1.      Highlight a cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Formula from the context menu.
       2.      Define your formula using the operands and functions available. See also Defining Formulas
       3.      Enter a description of the formula.
You can use Text Variables in the description.
       4.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
New cell reference
You can use any cell that you define in a formula. If you want to reuse the value from the implicit, generic cell definition that is automatically created at the intersection of the two structural components of a query, select this cell in the Cell Definition dialog box and, using the secondary mouse button, choose New Cell Reference. A description taken from the two structural components now automatically appears in the cell. The symbol shows you that a cell reference exists for this exception cell. You can now reference to this cell. That is, you can reuse the implicit cell definition and do not have to create these values manually in a new selection.
Functions of explicitly defined cells:
Select a defined cell and choose the required function from the context menu (secondary mouse button).
·        Edit
·        Delete
·        Where-Used List
Before you delete a cell, you can check for the formulas in which the defined cell is used in the where-used list.
·        Properties
Choose Properties if you:
-         Want to change the description of the cell.
-         Want to change the highlighting of the cell.
-         Want to hide the cell. That is, if you do not want to see the values of the cell.
Help Cells
Choose Help Cells, if you require additional cells for help selections or help formulas. You can use the functions New Selection and New Formula in the context menu to define help cells that are not displayed in the query to serve only as objects for help selections and help formulas.
For example, you can define an invoice in a help cell and use this in a real cell to calculate a duplicated invoice.
                            a.      Right-click on the empty cell next to Help Cells to get to a context menu. From here, choose New Selection.
                            b.      Use Drag & Drop to drag the Invoice key figure into the right-hand area of the New Selection dialog box.
                            c.      Enter a description.
                            d.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the selection. The symbol shows you that a selection exists for this exception cell.
                            e.      From the context menu for the required cell of the query, now choose New Formula.
                              f.      Drag the cell you have just defined, which you can find in the Operands window, under Cells, into the Formula window using Drag & Drop. Click on the button twice.
                            g.      Enter a description.
                            h.      Choose OK. The cell contains the description of the formula. The symbol shows you that a formula exists for this exception cell.
In the help cells that are already defined in the context menu, you can:
·        Edit the cell definition
·        Delete the cell definition
·        Display the where-used list for the cell
·        Change the description of the cell under Properties.

Results based on From and To value in Bex query designer.

Dear all,
We are using BI7.00. In one of our report which pertains to PM user wants to get the details of number of breakdowns which falls in the value range 0 to 1 hours.
I created a condition which has 2 variables, one is From value and the other is for the To value (since user wants to enter both the limits). I have written a condition that if the breakdown hour is greater than or equal to variable1 and less than or equal to variable2.
Using the above condition if the query is run, i am not getting the desired output. The values avaialble in the report are 0.65,0.78,1.30,7.38,0 etc., when i give 0 to 1 i should get the values 0.65,0.78 and 0 but instead report displays "No valid results".
I changed the condition and selected "Between" variable 1 and variable 2 - yet no change in the query.
To my knowledge i foresee that system is not able to recognize the decimal and hence provides details only based on the whole numbers.
How to get my requirement achieved in the Bex query designer.
Experts suggestion with steps will be very useful to solve my problem.
Regards,
M.M
Edited by: Magesh Magesh on Dec 26, 2008 11:28 AM

Hi Magesh,
I think you could try one more way.
Create a formula inserting your two formula variables for limits .(FV - are ready for input ) .
The formula would return the result as 1 or 0 because it would have boolean condition in it.
You could then place a condition in the query designer to only show all records where the value of the formula key fig is 1.
You formula A would look like
( KF > FV1) AND (KF < FV2) * 1.
And in the condition put A EQ 1.
You could scale the key figures as well and multiply the limits mentioned by the users in FV1 and FV2 if decimals are still not recognized by SAP.(scaling)

How to create a variable in Bex Query Designer

Hi guys,
I am writing a query for a travel management report using the SAP Standard cube. I would like to restrict the query so it only shows me the last two months excluding the current month. I have checked BI content in RSA1, but I canu2019t find a relevant SAP standard variable that I can use.
Can anyone please tell me if I can create my own? And if so, how I can do this.
Many Thanks
Forhad.

lets say u want to display following picture:
sept$-----august$
City
-chicago123$--
44$
so in Query designer go to Default values section.
Bring in Calendar month
right click calendar month
and hit Restrict
now select variable
use standard sap variable Current Month.
hit okey
now select Variable and hit Red button
Result u restricted current month.
in columns bring in keyfigure $
right click and hit edit
bring in time field calendar month
right click and hit restrict
bring in Current month
right click and select - SET OFFSET FOR VARIABLE
select -1
hit okey
repeat the above process
and this time select offset = -2
this way u restricted current month
