hi all
tell me what is query?

Dear Sreekanth,
[SAP Query|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/cb3efb455611d189710000e8322d00/frameset.htm]: The SAP Query application is used to create reports not already contained in the default. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP.
SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reports and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
The SAP Query comprises five components: Queries, InfoSet Query, InfoSets, User Groups and Translation/Query.
Classic reporting- the creation of lists, statistics and ranked lists- are covered by the InfoSet Query and Queries components. Other componentsu2019 range of functions cover the maintenance of InfoSets, the administration of user groups and also the translation of texts created in the SAP Query.
All data required by a user for a report can be read from various tables.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. In the WYSIWYG mode, you can edit the lists using Drag & Drop and various toolbars.
Regards,
Naveen.

What is query optimization and how to do it.

Hi
What is query optimization?
Any link can any one provide me so that i can read and learn the techniques.
Thanks

THis is an excellent place to start: When your query takes too long ...

Any idea what this query is trying to do?

Do you guys have any idea what this query(used for report generation) is used for? I don't understand the WHERE clause of this query especially what the Pipe operators(|| ' 21:00:00') are used for?
SELECT c.course_id,
       mph.subject
from   courses c, main_pgm_hdr mph
where
c.classid=mph.classid
    AND
    TO_CHAR(MPH.CLOSE_DATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') >= TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE, 'MM') - 1, 'mm/dd/yyyy')
        || ' 21:00:00'
    AND TO_CHAR(MPH.CLOSE_DATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') <= TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy')
        || ' 20:59:59'Edited by: user10450365 on Jan 13, 2009 7:11 PM

They are trying to get the data having CLOSE_DATE between 20:59:59 and 21:00:00 for the present day. But the way its done is wrong. They have converted the date into Char and they are comparing. Its absolutely incorrect.
One way to do it would be
SELECT DISTINCT (PS.CARR_ID)                                  AS CARRIER ,
     MPH.SHPMT_NBR                                          AS TRAILER ,
     MPH.SHPMT_NBR                                          AS SHPMT_NBR,
     TO_CHAR(MPH.CREATE_DATE_TIME, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') AS LOADED   ,
     TO_CHAR(MPH.CLOSE_DATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')       AS FINALIZED
   FROM PARCL_SERV PS,
     MANIF_PARCL_HDR MPH
WHERE PS.MANIF_TYPE = MPH.MANIF_TYPE
    AND MPH.CLOSE_DATE >= TRUNC(sysdate)+(21/24)
    AND MPH.CLOSE_DATE <= TRUNC(sysdate)+((20/24)+(59/1440)+(59/86400))Edited by: Karthick_Arp on Jan 13, 2009 1:27 AM

What SQL query I need for this?

I need to execute a SQL query but I don't know how.
To illustrate it, please take a look at some example data:
    ARTICLEID SOLDON
    1         2005-12-31
    1         2005-11-31
    1         2005-10-31
    1         2005-09-31
    1         2005-08-31
    1         2005-07-31
    1         2005-06-31
    1         2005-05-31
    1         2005-04-31
    1         2005-03-31
    1         2005-02-31
    1         2005-01-31
    1         2004-12-31
    1         2004-11-31
    2         2005-12-31
    2         2005-11-31
    2         2005-10-31
    2         2005-09-31 This is a piece of the sales data for the articles (sales history).
Lets assume that today is the date 2005-12-31.
Two requirements for the query:
1. Get the sales data for the last 12 months.
2. Get only the sales data for articles where there is sales data since at least 6 months.
The result in my example should look like this:
    ARTICLEID SOLDON
    1         2005-12-31
    1         2005-11-31
    1         2005-10-31
    1         2005-09-31
    1         2005-08-31
    1         2005-07-31
    1         2005-06-31
    1         2005-05-31
    1         2005-04-31
    1         2005-03-31
    1         2005-02-31
    1         2005-01-31 What is the SQL which I need to accomplish this query?

To get all the information from the last 12 months
you will have to use date manipulation.
SELECT add_months(sysdate, -12) from
dual;This gives you the date 12 months ago.
So you will have to select your date between then and
the current date.If I do this I will get this data:
    ARTICLEID SOLDON
    1         2005-12-31
    1         2005-11-31
    1         2005-10-31
    1         2005-09-31
    1         2005-08-31
    1         2005-07-31
    1         2005-06-31
    1         2005-05-31
    1         2005-04-31
    1         2005-03-31
    1         2005-02-31
    1         2005-01-31
    2         2005-12-31
    2         2005-11-31
    2         2005-10-31
    2         2005-09-31 But I want this data:
    ARTICLEID SOLDON
    1         2005-12-31
    1         2005-11-31
    1         2005-10-31
    1         2005-09-31

    1         2005-02-31
    1         2005-01-31 I am no native English speaker. What didn't you understand in the two requirements?
Here are my two requirements for the query:
1. Get the sales data for the last 12 months.
2. But get ONLY the sales data for articles where there is sales data since AT LEAST 6 months.
The result can contain as many IDs as you want if the two requirements are met. Its not a trivial SQL statement for me. Please remember that the above data are only for illustration. They are just an example.
There should be a SQL statement for this.
Please tell me if you don't understand my problem. I will try to explain it in a better way if I can.

What is query and reporting

hai sap gurus..
what is difference the query and reporting
in an interview i have been asked.
how many queries and how many reporting did you created.

Hi Naren,
SAP Query
An ABAP Workbench tool that enables users without knowledge of the ABAP programming language to define and execute their own reports.
In ABAP Query, you enter texts and select fields and options to determine the structure of the reports. Fields are selected from functional areas and can be assigned a sequence by numbering.
ABAP Query offers the following types of reports:
Basic lists
Statistics
Ranked lists
Query used for short run based i.e the format of the report output you can change frequently.
Report (CA)
A compilation of data for a company or group of companies in the form of a table or list.
An evaluation is the result of executing a report. It can be either displayed on the screen or sent to a printer.
Here ABAP programing language will be used to execute the report.
Report used for long run it is standard output we can,t change frequently.
I hope it will clear for you,
Regards,
Murali.

Can someone explain what a Query View is ?

Is this some special view if the query?

Take a look to OSS Note 634790 'Brief definition of terms - Query, Workbook, View'
Hope it helps!

What is query block?

hi guys,
i searched a lot about "query block" on google, but dosent find any satisfying article which will explain me basic concept.
i would like to know about the query block parameter we specified when we use optimization query hints in oracle.
how they can be used? where we can find them?
any suggestions?
thanks and regards
VD

QB_NAME hint lets you give a name to your query block, which you can then use in other hints (either in the same query block, or in an outer query block).
See a rather complex example at Jonathan Lewis's [scratchpad blog|http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/qb_name/]. That should make it clearer (look at the create table t3 SQL for the example - don't worry at first about understanding the specific point Jonathan is trying to make). See that he has named the inner QB (the inline view) using
/*+ qb_name(inline) */and then the outer query has some complex hints:
create table t3
as
select
     /*+
          qb_name(main)
          merge(@inline)
          leading(@SEL$8FA4BC11 t2@main t1@inline)
          full(t2@main)
          full(t1@inline)
          use_hash(@SEL$8FA4BC11 t1@inline)
          no_swap_join_inputs(@SEL$8FA4BC11 t1@inline)
          pq_distribute(@SEL$8FA4BC11 t1@inline hash hash)
     v1.n1,
        ...which names the outer block as main, then refers to both @main and @inline in the various hints.

What is the sql query for the real time reports Resource Stats?

Hi Frank,
Just wanted your opinion on the above given SQLI'm not sure I understand it.
I added some more formatting to help me read it:
SELECT      A

          SELECT '1'A,'pin'B FROM DUAL
     CONNECT BY PRIOR A=B
     ORDER BY A
);What is the purpose of the CONNECT BY in what you have so far?
Is the idea that you will add another CONNECT BY query, using
CONNECT BY b_lag = PRIOR b?
Do you think that will be better than using ROW_NUMBER?
Will it work if (a, b) is not unique?

What is this query doing???

for(rset = conn.executeQ(OurQuery); rset.next(); items.put(rset.getString(1), rset.getString(2)));
rset = ResultSet
conn= Connection
Items --> private Hashtable items;
here is OurQuery
OurQuery = " \t \tselect LABEL_CODE ,NVL(INITCAP(DECODE(" + lang + ",1,DESC_EN_TX,DESC_AR_TX)),'N... AVAIL') " + "\t from FORM_USER_LABEL \t\t\t\t\t\t\t" + " \twhere UPPER(FORM_ID) \t\t= UPPER('" + v_frm + "')" + " \tAND USER_ID \t\t= " + v_user;
here is the executeQ method
public synchronized ResultSet executeQ(String s)
throws SQLException
Object obj = null;
ResultSet resultset = null;
try
if(conn.isClosed())
ConnectDB();
stmt = conn.createStatement();
resultset = stmt.executeQuery(s);
catch(Exception exception)
System.out.println(exception);
return resultset;
}

I can say only what the query does
First i will spit this query into an understandable manner.
1.select LABEL_CODE , // This selects the label code
2.NVL(INITCAP(DECODE(" + lang + ",1,DESC_EN_TX,DESC_AR_TX)),'N... AVAIL') // The above part of the query uses three functions one is NVL,INITCAP and Decode.
The NVL will convert when the query returns NULL to an user provided value i.e "N... AVAIL".
The InitCAP will convert the Starting letters of each word to Upper case
The Decode works like an if condition i.e
Decode(value,condition,if condition is true,if condition is false)
In your example, where decode works like
if(lang == 1)
DESC_EN_TX
else
DESC_AR_TX
and the remaining part of the query it converts to upper case and compares with a where condition.
if you still have doubts, first check for Decode option in oracle tutorial how it works then check the query.
it is not necessary to keep the "\t" inside the query

Trying to create a query that shows Sales Order/Invoice Totals as well as Paid/Outstanding/Available Down Payments

Currently working on SAP B1 v8.82
I'm looking to generate a query that will give an overall report for a given customer that shows Sales Order No, Invoice No, Sales Order Total, Invoice Total, Amount Paid on Invoice, Amount Remaining on Invoice, Down Payments Available, Open on Sales Order.
I'm not sure what the best way to select the columns in bold above. Invoice Total should be self-explanatory. Amount Paid should be any down payments or applied payments on the invoice. The balance due on the invoice (which seems to be T0.DocTotal if I'm not mistaken) should = 'Invoice Total' - 'Amount Paid on Invoice'. In the Down Payments Available column I want the total amount of money on the account or on down payments that aren't tied to a Sales Order. If a client overpaid in the past for instance and there's a credit on their account, then it should contribute to this sum. Open on Sales Order should be pretty easy. I guess it's just the sum of everything that is still open on the Sales Order. I'm just not sure what the best way to sum all the un-delivered freight, tax, and line items is. Here's what my query looks like so far.
SELECT DISTINCT T4.[DocNum] [Sales Order No],
T0.DocNum [Invoice No],
T4.DocTotal [Sales Order Total]
T0.DocTotal [Amount Outstanding],
FROM OINV T0
INNER JOIN INV1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
INNER JOIN DLN1 T2 ON T1.BaseEntry = T2.DocEntry AND T1.BaseLine = T2.LineNum
INNER JOIN RDR1 T3 ON T2.BaseEntry = T3.DocEntry AND T2.BaseLine = T3.LineNum
INNER JOIN ORDR T4 ON T3.DocEntry = T4.DocEntry
INNER JOIN OSLP T5 ON T4.SlpCode = T5.SlpCode
WHERE T0.CardName Like '%%[%0]%%'
GROUP BY T4.DocNum, T0.DocNum, T0.DocTotal, T4.DocTotal
I tried doing a little searching around for queries similar to what I need, but I could find exactly what I was looking for and I'm very unfamiliar with OJDT, JDT1, and ITR1 tables which I think might be important to finding unapplied payments...

Thanks. There's a few problems though.
1) It seems that OINV DocTotal != Balance Due. I'm seeing a number of invoices where there was a balance due, but we applied additional money (either we took another incoming payment and applied it or applied money from the account balance, etc.) and yet it still shows a total.
2) It's pulling incoming payments from different customers. I think this is because the table was joined based on "RCT2 T4 on T4.[DocEntry] = T3.[DocNum] and T4.[InvoiceId] = T2.[LineNum]" In one example I have 2 incoming payments 446 and 614. Both have the DocEntry 542, but one relates to A/R Invoice 542 (for a different client) while the other relates to Down Payment Invoice 542. *I was able to fix this by adding WHERE T5.CardCode = [%0]*
3) I'm going to work with this a little bit and see if I can alter it to make it work for me. Basically this query falls a little short on the following:
- Doesn't include incoming payments that aren't linked to a down payment invoice.
- Does not give the Invoice Total (I'd like to know how much of the SO was invoiced. DocTotal seems to give me Amount Invoiced - Down Payments. I'm not sure the best way to get this number. Maybe I could do the sum of each line * tax + freight)
- Does not give the outstanding amount on an invoice. The ARtotal [DocTotal] column gives me how much was owed when the invoice was created, but it doesn't tell me what is currently owed.
- Lastly it may complicate the query too much and could be left off, but it would be nice to see if they have any money from credits or incoming payments that has not been applied. Perhaps this would be easily accomplished by simply pulling in their account balance.

Where would you check performance of webi? query is taking long time to run

Hello All,
In the bex query world running on portal you were able to go to sm50 and check what the query is doing and where it is taking a long time or atleast you were able to see the processes runing.
Where would you check the running processes when you are running a webi query, we are trying to write a webi report which is on universe which is created on bex query. The report is very simple just two fields and an mandatory variable which is coming from bex query (have defined the variable in bex query). When we exeute the query it is taking a long time just spinning and I am not getting any data back, on the same query before even hitting the run query button, I am trying to put a object in query filters and set the filter as In list from Value(s) from list and it is taking forever to set that filter.
Can we go to CMC or BW backend and check anywhere we are using sap authentication, I see the number of sessions in CMC but that is it.
Thanks for help in advance.

Thank you both for the replies.
How would I get the MDX that is generated by the query, I remember there is a note for starting the MDX logging. Can you please let em know how would I get the MDX statement. Thanks.
Gowtham - What is the optimal array fetch size that needs to set for the universes, can you explain bit more about array fetch size?
All our universes are on BEx queries designed in SAP BW in that case does the array fetch size matter and array bind size matter? I had read this in oneof the universe designer manuals for OLAP universes The Array fetch size, Array bind size, and Login timeout parameters are not used for OLAP connections
Thanks again for replies.

Some Tips -
1)Identify long-running extraction processes on the source system. Extraction processes are performed by several extraction jobs running on the source system. The run-time of these jobs affects the performance. Use transaction code SM37 Background Processing Job Management to analyze the run-times of these jobs. If the run-time of data collection jobs lasts for several hours, schedule these jobs to run more frequently. This way, less data is written into update tables for each run and extraction performance increases.
2)Identify high run-times for ABAP code, especially for user exits. The quality of any custom ABAP programs used in data extraction affects the extraction performance. Use transaction code SE30 ABAP/4 Run-time Analysis and then run the analysis for the transaction code RSA3 Extractor Checker. The system then records the activities of the extraction program so you can review them to identify time-consuming activities. Eliminate those long-running activities or substitute them with alternative program logic.
3)Identify expensive SQL statements. If database run-time is high for extraction jobs, use transaction code ST05 Performance Trace. On this screen, select ALEREMOTE user and then select SQL trace to record the SQL statements. Identify the time-consuming sections from the results. If the data-selection times are high on a particular SQL statement, index the DataSource tables to increase the performance of selection (see no. 6 below). While using ST05, make sure that no other extraction job is running with ALEREMOTE user.
4)Balance loads by distributing processes onto different servers if possible. If your site uses more than one BW application server, distribute the extraction processes to different servers using transaction code SM59 Maintain RFC Destination. Load balancing is possible only if the extraction program allows the option
5)Set optimum parameters for data-packet size. Packet size affects the number of data requests to the database. Set the data-packet size to optimum values for an efficient data-extraction mechanism. To find the optimum value, start with a packet size in the range of 50,000 to 100,000 and gradually increase it. At some point, you will reach the threshold at which increasing packet size further does not provide any performance increase. To set the packet size, use transaction code SBIW BW IMG Menu on the source system. To set the data load parameters for flat-file uploads, use transaction code RSCUSTV6 in BW.
6)Build indexes on DataSource tables based on selection criteria. Indexing DataSource tables improves the extraction performance, because it reduces the read times of those tables.
7)Execute collection jobs in parallel. Like the Business Content extractors, generic extractors have a number of collection jobs to retrieve relevant data from DataSource tables. Scheduling these collection jobs to run in parallel reduces the total extraction time, and they can be scheduled via transaction code SM37 in the source system.
8). Break up your data selections for InfoPackages and schedule the portions to run in parallel. This parallel upload mechanism sends different portions of the data to BW at the same time, and as a result the total upload time is reduced. You can schedule InfoPackages in the Administrator Workbench.
You can upload data from a data target (InfoCube and ODS) to another data target within the BW system. While uploading, you can schedule more than one InfoPackage with different selection options in each one. For example, fiscal year or fiscal year period can be used as selection options. Avoid using parallel uploads for high volumes of data if hardware resources are constrained. Each InfoPacket uses one background process (if scheduled to run in the background) or dialog process (if scheduled to run online) of the application server, and too many processes could overwhelm a slow server.
9). Building secondary indexes on the tables for the selection fields optimizes these tables for reading, reducing extraction time. If your selection fields are not key fields on the table, primary indexes are not much of a help when accessing data. In this case it is better to create secondary indexes with selection fields on the associated table using ABAP Dictionary to improve better selection performance.
10)Analyze upload times to the PSA and identify long-running uploads. When you extract the data using PSA method, data is written into PSA tables in the BW system. If your data is on the order of tens of millions, consider partitioning these PSA tables for better performance, but pay attention to the partition sizes. Partitioning PSA tables improves data-load performance because it's faster to insert data into smaller database tables. Partitioning also provides increased performance for maintenance of PSA tables for example, you can delete a portion of data faster. You can set the size of each partition in the PSA parameters screen, in transaction code SPRO or RSCUSTV6, so that BW creates a new partition automatically when a threshold value is reached.
11)Debug any routines in the transfer and update rules and eliminate single selects from the routines. Using single selects in custom ABAP routines for selecting data from database tables reduces performance considerably. It is better to use buffers and array operations. When you use buffers or array operations, the system reads data from the database tables and stores it in the memory for manipulation, improving performance. If you do not use buffers or array operations, the whole reading process is performed on the database with many table accesses, and performance deteriorates. Also, extensive use of library transformations in the ABAP code reduces performance; since these transformations are not compiled in advance, they are carried out during run-time.
12)Before uploading a high volume of transaction data into InfoCubes, activate the number-range buffer for dimension IDs. The number-range buffer is a parameter that identifies the number of sequential dimension IDs stored in the memory. If you increase the number range before high-volume data upload, you reduce the number of reads from the dimension tables and hence increase the upload performance. Do not forget to set the number-range values back to their original values after the upload. Use transaction code SNRO to maintain the number range buffer values for InfoCubes.
13)Drop the indexes before uploading high-volume data into InfoCubes. Regenerate them after the upload. Indexes on InfoCubes are optimized for reading data from the InfoCubes. If the indexes exist during the upload, BW reads the indexes and tries to insert the records according to the indexes, resulting in poor upload performance. You can automate the dropping and regeneration of the indexes through InfoPackage scheduling. You can drop indexes in the Manage InfoCube screen in the Administrator Workbench.
14)IDoc (intermediate document) archiving improves the extraction and loading performance and can be applied on both BW and R/3 systems. In addition to IDoc archiving, data archiving is available for InfoCubes and ODS objects.
Hope it Helps
