Questions in Ad Hoc Query & How to Configure the EEO standard reports

Hi all,
I have a question in Ad hoc query report in HR.
<b>How to:</b> Get a list of the total number of employees included in a particular report at the end of the report. Ex: If i create and run a report for salaried employees, sorted out by company codes, how can i get a sub-total and total no. of employees listed in the report.
I tried Ranked format, but when you print the report it doesn't retain the report name on the top.
-->I have a question regarding the Standard reports for EEO and AAP
<b> How do I</b>
1. Start configuring these report
2. What are the things i should have before configuring it in IMG
If anyone can provide me with some documentation regarding the EEO and AAP report configuration that would be great.
Thanks in advance.....

This can be done using the security for the Infoprovider, provide the users access to create queries only for that Infoprovider.

How to add an Infotype to an exsting Infoset (ad hoc query)

Hi,
How to add an Infotype (Ex. 0025) to an exsting Infoset (ad hoc query)?
I was trying by clicking on 'Extras' tab & create...I get three options, create field, create table or create structure.
I am not sure which to use or is there any other way? Pls. let me know the steps...
Also what is this 'Package', which is aked whenever you create or change an Infoset.
Pls. suggest.
Tnx
SKR

I was able to add the infotype by adding the table as PA0025 & include all the fields in the field group.
When I check, I get the following error:

Help in Ad-hoc query and Hr form editor

any body have material links of Ad-hoc query(it means how the reports are generated with Ad-hoc query) and Hr form editor(with examples) plz forward it to me???????????

Hi,
HR Ad Hoc Query is the special version of InfoSet Query with the HR object selection.
You can find the system documentation here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/f9/cc9138e4a0341fe10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
However I doubt the use of documentation of the query generator. So what is your concrete question?
Or in any R/3 via application help of transaction SQ01.
Also HR580 is a good course.

What causes ad-hoc to run with bad plan and its resolution

One of our Company Application funcnalities uses the ad-hoc query that returns top first row from the result sets .There has been several times since this ad-hoc query ran with a bad
execution in last 8 months .There is no specifice time and date or day when this query run with bad execution plan ,however whenever this query ran with a bad execution plan on SQL ,that happed always early in the morning , before 6am .The setting of database
parameterization is set to forced .There is SQL maintenance reindexing job that runs each night at 2am that changes the recovedry model of our production database from Full to simple and changing back from simple to full after the reindexing operation .That
causes the SQL plans to flush each night .The next day morning , when the application ad-hoc query runs on SQL first time , SQL generates a new plan for that query . Some strange reason , SQL genarates a good plan for that ad-hoc query most of the times ,but
sometime this query picks up a bad plan .Whenever it happen,the application function becomes exetremly slow and it seems that the rest of the fuctionalities work fine meantime .
Our application vender is aware of this issue and this issue will be fixed in the application next release .Developer is converting the ad-hoc query into stored procedure to fix this
issue .Application new relase will not available for next 2-3 months ,meantime we still have to deal with the ad-hoc query bad execution plan issue . Usually ,when the ad-hoc query run with the bad execution plan , I retrieve the query bad plan and just remove
the plan for that particular query from cache .Once the bad plan is removed from cache , the perfomance gets back to normal .
As my understanding, this issue is related to parameter sniffing .but anyone thinks there are other factors responsible for this issue such as the network problem , the resource intensive
report ran or something else .
Has anyone have step by step troubleshooting steps that could help me with my investigation and what areas
do I need to look into in order to investigate what could caused the ad-hoc query to pick up bad plan ?
Any help will be apprecited .

When we upgraded our Production Database to SQL server 2008R2 enterprise Edition. We ran into the transaction log file to grow too large during the reindexing job activities at night .To prevent the transaction log file to grow big , we had decided to change
the recovery model of database from FULL to Simple before the reindexing job starts and the recovery model of Database is changed from Simple to Full after the reindexing job finishes . We also have the differential backup job setup right after the recovery
model change back to full so the transaction log backup chain does not break.
The transaction log chain breaks when you set the recovery to simple.
Yes, if you take a diff backup, you can apply transaction logs from that point
if the diff backup is good. If the diff backup is bad, you will lose all updates after you set recovery to simple. And, yes, when you hardware starts to deteoriate, you should not be surprise that the last backup is not good.
Again, please stop setting recovery to simple, unless you have a very relaxed RPO in your SLA. Use bulk-logged recovery instead.
By the way, you do take a t-log backup before you change the recovery mode, don't you?
Changing the database recovery model does flush the SQL plans for specific Database. Please review this linkhttp://sqlblogcasts.com/blogs/steveh/archive/2010/09/02/changing-recovery-model-removes-plans-from-procedure-cache-for-a-database.aspx
Hmmm. I don't have the time to verify this right now. Anyway, reindexing is good enough to flush the cache of most plans.
I have pretty much all required info regarding this query , but what other areas or investigation do I need to do for the query parameter sniffing issue ?
Have you researched what values the initial plan is sniffed for?
As Erland said adding space in query ,I don?t know adding space means just add additional space in the query so it hashes a different values .Please advice .
Obviously, you need access to the application code. The other alternative is to set up an early morning job that runs after this first execution and which forces a recompilation; either by evicting this specific plan or more brutally runs sp_recompile on
one of the tables in the query.

SAP Query vs. Ad-Hoc Query

Hi guys,
Can anyone explain to a newbie like me
1. what's the difference between SAP query and Ad-hoc query?
2. Can we link all SAP Queries to tcode and thus access SAP QUeries via Tcode?
3. Ad-hoc query is unlike SAP query as in it cannot be accessed via Tcode, correct?
4. Seems to me SAP query works similarly to custom abap queries. Thus, y don't we just used custom abap queries instead?
5. Are the selection screens for all SAP queries the same? Cause I accessed 3 SAP Queries, and all their selection screen are exactly the same with fields like Object ID, Evaluation Path...

Transaction Code to AD Hoc Query

I have created an Ad Hoc Query and Given it a name and saved it.
Next Time when I wanted to execute that query I go to S_PH0_48000510 - Ad Hoc Query , select that query and press on Output to get the result. In between I have selected the setting "Start via selection screen" in Extras>Settings.
Hence I get into the selection screen and while I execute, I go to the output result.
What I am looking for is how to assign a transaction code to this query that I have created, so that I execute that transaction code I am directly into the selection screen. By means of this I can skip some of the steps like going to S_PH0_48000510 - Ad Hoc Query and then selecting the query and then the other steps.

Both the ad-hoc and the SQ01 queries create a program that can be assigned to a transaction. However, the program name that is generated contains a 2 digit code that is specific to the client you are working on. This makes it hard to run the same transaction in DEV, QAS, and PRD. Instead, create a parameter transaction that runs the START_REPORT transaction with parameters set that run the D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE=AQ, D_SREPOVARI-EXTDREPORT=<sap query name in SQ01>, D_SREPOVARI-REPORT=<user groups belonging to the query>

PQAh ad hoc query

Hi all,
I need to know is it possible that i can draw Om report from ad hoc query the way we get PA report.
If yes, then how should i get the OM infotypes to appear in SQ01, suery selection?

Aryan

Hi,
Adhoc query is made for us for different selection of itesm i.e...PA,PSA...what ever you want...just like a custom report.
thanks,

Transport selection screen variant of ad-hoc query

Hi, I've created an ad-hoc query using sq01,sq02,sq03 and I've assigned it to a transaction and created a screen selection variant.
Now I want to transport the screen selection variant. RSTRANSP doesn't seem to work for that.
Thanks

Hi Alejandro,
You can transport this to other system by make use of program RSAQR3TR, before you transport to other systems, please check everything is working fine in Development system, once everything is perfect..
Please use the program which i have stated above and transport user group first, then infoset and then query,, you can do it in two ways..by downloading and uploading or else by export and import..
if you still have any queries on this. share with your screenshot what have you done,, so i will help you on it..
Thanks

AD-hoc query...urgent

hi,
I wanted to generate ad hoc query.I kno that it is generated to transmit the data in the Vendor systems from the SAP System.
so plz tell me how to generate it in SAP HR.plz if possible explain it with the example and what is the impact of it on SAP system as well as vendor system??
points r assured.
Thanx

Ad hoc query is a report which is based on database tables. It is normally used if a report is required to dump the data from one or more tables using table join not having complex logic.
Ad hoc query can be created for any module. You need to know the database table/s or logical database with correct logic. Since, it is just a report, it does not have any impact on another area.

Ad Hoc Query Output

When I access Ad Hoc query (S_PH0_48000510) to run an existing report, instead of selecting the output button right away, I click on Hit List, get the number of records, then I click on display (eyeglasses). The pop-up window shows me 24 records, all of which I am expecting to see as they fall within my selection criteria. I select them all, then click on the output button. Only 7 records show upu2026 And, there are no error messages or authorization messages. I checked the layout and filter, and everything looks correct. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I'm missing? There are no calculated fields; this is just a simple query.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Debbie,
One thing we did in all of our custom Infosets was to include the start date and end date of every infotype as well as the date changed and who changed it. Thus, when we run reports that are date specific we can say that the start date and/or end date must fall within that range and we can also output that info.
I do not know your data or selection criteria, but the problem may lie with data that is no longer current or "top of stack" that excludes hits from being included in the output. One example is with IT0000-Actions. You may be seeking those employees who had a Rehire action since January 1st. But a later transfer or leave of absence action may now be "top of stack" and the current action, thus is no longer "Rehire", Your output would only be those whose latest action is Rehire and the others with later actions would be left off. Adding the start and end date fields will sometimes allow the output of the older Rehire record as would deleting the action type in the selection once the Hit List was maintained in the Reporting Set section. You would now see the Rehire along with the other actions.

AD HOC query (coding)

Hi,
I have Ad hoc query and in the selection screen I have field(select option) for language , what I am trying to do is to make a login language as default value for language field ,I tried throw SQ01 the only thing I could do is to add fixed value (for example 'EN') but need it to be login language.
Its seems to be the only way is to write code But I donu2019t know how?
PLEASE HELP.

Defining ad hoc query you can select personnel number as output field by right clicking on "Personnel number" in "Key fields" group. In the context menu you can find "Output" and three possibilities:
1. Only text - which is default and means an employee's name,
2. Only value - which means personnel number,
3. Value and text - in this case two columns are displayed: personnel number and the employee's name.

Hi S,
TCD SQ01,SQ02,SQ03
for this you would have to create usergroup and infoset
as we know LDB's are special abap program that combines data from related tables and makes it avilable for query and programs
Logical Database
TCD -SE36
PCH(Personnel Planning),PNP(HR Master Data),PNPCE(HR Master Data (Incl. Concurrent Employment)),PAP (applicant matsre data) are some LDB's(logical databses)
Infoset are special views of LDB's and determine which tables and/or fields within a table, queries may reference
http://www.dmgfederal.com/Resources/Articles/Article_SAPR3Infosets.asp
usergroup are user gruped using the same application aera
you could also try TCD SQVI-sap query viewer

HR PQAH (Ad hoc query) info-type filtering

Hi,
in our company the users can use/create HR ad hoc queries (tcode PQAH) with which they can display almost all master data employees informations.
Is it possible to use P_ORGIN authorizations in roles in order to filter info-types in ad hoc query ?
We have created a test user only authorized to start PQAH (on S_TCODE & P_TCODE) and he is able to create a PQAH query that can display all HR master data.
We were expecting that P_ORGIN was also checked in PQAH.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
No, not what I said. Employees with access to PQAH can both construct and run Ad Hoc Queries. However, if their authorization does not permit display access to an infotype in the query, the query will not run for that individual. If she has the proper access, then the report will run for those individuals she can view - controlled by P_ORGIN or P_ORGINCON. If the query is saved, another employee can then run it via PQAH or SQ01. Again, that employee's access will limit what he can see in the output.
So if a user has access to PQAH, that user can create and run queries, but the security authorization from P_ORGIN will determine the output. Example: I create a query that includes ANSAL from IT0008-Basic Pay, but I do not have P_ORGIN access to view IT0008, then the report would error out if I tried to run it. If I did have authorization to view IT0008, I could execute the report via PQAH and receive the output. If I save the report and you ran that same report via PQAH, but you have view authorization only for Personnel Area 0001 for IT0008, then your output would only include individuals assigned to PA 0001.
So PQAH can be used by various individuals what controls the output is their authorizations from P_ORGIN or P_ORGINCON and other authorization objects.

Ad hoc query - Infoset, after selection it is giving two different output

Hi All,
We are facing problem in ad hoc query, after PQAH Ad hoc query, when we go to one infoset, so after making some selection and putting some output field,
When we click on refresh data button(in lower pane) so it gives only one record, which is incorrect, but when we click on u2018Start Outputu2019 button it gives 3 records those are correct.
Can anyone tell me, why this is giving different output.(first time 1 record, and second time 3 records) record 3 output is correct.
Regards,
Kumar
Edited by: kumar r12 on Mar 18, 2011 9:00 AM

Hi Kumar,
Are you looking at the "Hit List" or the output of the results in the lower pane? The hit list will only give you the number of persons who will be in your output. The refresh button should give you a preview of the output.
What persons or fields are different or not shown in the preview area vs. the output? Also, what are the dates for the data? Are you looking at current data or looking for history? The output may be showing you history and the preview only current data. Most concerns with Ad Hoc Query output are related to dates - for the selection and the output.
