Why can't I find Bex Query Designer ?

Hi,
I installed successfully SAP Netweaver ABAP Trial Version. But I can't find the Bex Query Designer. I thought it was part of SAP Netweaver ?
How can I get it ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Bex and the other tools such as analyzer and web app.designer come with SAP gui installation (while installing SAP gui you should select BW-addon ) and you can find the query designer under the following path on your computer .C:Program FilesSAPFrontEndBwwdbrlog.exe

Bex Query Designer running against a Cognos Cube

Hi
Is it possible to run Bex Query Designer against a Cognos cube ? I know you can do it the other way around - run Cognos against a BW cube. But I can't find anything on creating Bex Query on a Cognos cube.
John

Hi John,
I think that's not possible. I've never seen that, there is no information about it anywhere.
But, why would you like to connect BEx to another tool? As you said, you can connect Cognos to BW (as well as Microstrategy, Business Objects and ohters). And this is because all these tools are better in front end desing (even after BI7, i think BEx reporting tools are awful).

Where to write IF THEN ELASE statements in BEX Query Designer

Hi All,
I need to write a formula in query designer...
saying that to display the all Quantities in KGs.. Now articles are in Grams and KGs...
So here i need to perform calculation like... if article is in KGs divide by 1, else if article is in Grams divide by 1000.
where can i write this logic to perform calculation ...
Thanks in advance..
ravi.p

hi chetan,
No its not work.. why because i need to convert the unit of measure in Masterdata Attribute values... that means ) ' 0grooss_wt'. this is attribute as a keyfigure of ' 0material' .. this ' 0gross_wt' values has to convert in KGs. at Present ' 0gross_wt' values are in KG and Grams...
I can change these values in update rules by writting Routine.. But I need to convert it in KGS at BEX Query Designer Level..
I need calculate like this
quantity sold * Gross Weight.
here Gross Weight is the formula variable which replacing the values of gross weight...
i tried by creating conversion types in RSUOM t-code. but it works on keyfigures of infocube.. not on attribute values of master data...
is there any solution to solve this Problem...

Difference between aggregation and calculation tab in BEx Query Designer

HI,
I am using BEx Query Designer for my report, for the key figures in the coloumn area i slected one numeric key figures, in the properties tab i found aggregation tab and calculation tab.
I need to sum up the total values for that particualar coloumn, when i used calculation tab i found to sum all the values for a particular coloumn, then what is the use the aggreagation tab?
I not able to used that Aggregation tab it is showing as a hidden fields...
can any one tell me whats the exact difference between these tabs and when we need to use which tab?
With Regards,
Thanesh Kumar.

Hi Thanesh Kumar,
I moved this thread from forum Data Warehousing to Business Explorer since it is a query related question (as SDN moderator).
I could explain to you the difference between these two tabs.
For "calculation" tab, it changes the display of result and does not change the calculation logic.
It means that, if this key figure is used further in formula, still the original number (without "calculation" tab setting) is used for further formula calculation.
For "aggregation" tab, it changes the real calculation logic.
The system takes the setting as the aggregation rule for records.
The most common aggregation rule is of course summation. If you set to e.g. Average here, the system does the
Average instead of summation when aggregating records. And the Average value will be taken for calculation
in further formulas or other calculations.
For "aggregation" tab, you could only use it for CKF (calculated key figure) or formula and you could not use it for
a basic key figure. That should be the reason why you see it greyed-out.
Regards,
Patricia

IF...ELSE.. STATEMENT in BEx Query Designer

Hi,
Why there is no IF, ELSE function in BEx Query Designer?
Assuming I need to write the following logic, how can it be accomplished?
IF (A=0 OR B=0)
    THEN 0
ELSE IF ( B/A <0)
    THEN '       *'
ELSE
    B/A * 100
i.e.
if A or B is equal to 0, then display the value of 0
else if B is negative (as A is either 0 or positive), then display the following text: '         *'
otherwise, display the value of B/A * 100
Thanks!

Hi,
You can achieve this by creating a new formula.
You have to use the boolean operations and mathematical functions. But we cannot display *. u have to display some value for that.

Constant Selection in BEx Query Designer on BI7

Hi guys
According to this blog <a href="/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/19/the-hidden-secret-of-constant-selection Selection</a>, we can create constant selection on both Characteristics and Key figures. I understand how to do it with restricted key figures.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to create constant selection for a Characteristic in BEx Query Designer on BI7. I can't find options for 'constant selection'
Or is this the same thing when you include or exclude values?
Message was edited by:
jimi ogun

Thanks Krishna
I am actually using a Multiprovider for my queries but business requirements mean I need to create joins.
I am trying to avoid Infosets and I believe another way is to use the Constant Selection feature in Query Designer.
Going back to my previous posting, I know how this is done with a restricted KF but I don't know how when it comes to characteristics.
Can anyone help?

Cannot see BEx Query in user role profile in BEx query designer

I assigned several BEx query objects into user profile menu via t-code PFCG first.
Then expected - when I need and open them in BEx query designer I could find them after clicking "Role" button in "Open" window. But unfortuantely I'm not able to do that.
Do I miss anything to archive that? Is other customizing activity else neccessary?
Thank you for any suggestion.

Hi Brad.Ma,
If you can open query from Area "button", after that, you publish it to roles you want assign.
You try generate Authoriation in Role in Tcode PFCG.
Hope help you to solve the problem.

BEx Query Designer - Execute pops up blank Internet Explorer session

Hi gurus,
From BEx Query Designer, I choose Execute, and it pops up a blank Internet Explorer window rather than the query. It says about:blank in the URL and the page is white.
I read some posts that say to run RSPOR_SETUP, but I don't have a Java system or Portal system so does that still apply to me? I want the URL that pops up to point to the BW system which is an ABAP system.
E_URL_PREFIX                    http://BWSAPF00.mydomain.com:8100
E_URL_PATH                      /sap/bw/BEx

Hi,
Please note that Java stack is mandatory for running Queries in web side
or for executing the Queries using Transaction RSRT -> Java Web or
for executing the Queries using Query Designer in Release 7.x .
So, please install Java stack and use BI Java components for running
Queries in web side here.
Also, please refer the following note for details:
917950 - SAP NetWeaver 2004s: Setting Up BEx Web
Also keep a note of the following:

the SAP NetWeaver Administrator, that is, all relevant functions of
the VA are available in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
The VA is no longer delivered as of SAP NetWeaver 7.1. "
The interface is a little bit different now, but the installation
steps still follow the same logic as SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
You can use manual steps to set up integration as per note 917950.
Also, please don´t use report RSPOR_SETUP for configuration check
between ABAP and Java for SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
The report has been replaced by the support desk tool.
Please have a look at note '937697 - Usage of

Execution of BEx Query Designer Querys in BI Java SDK

Hello experts,
i am actually occupying with the possibilities of the BI Java SDK. I checked the documentation but could not find an answer to my question, so i address this issue now to the community in the hope, that someone out there can give me a hint:
Is it possible to execute a BI query, which was designed in the BEx query designer, within the BI Java SDK OLAP query api?
Is there somewhere a method, which could be simply passed the technical names of the infocube and the query and then returns the query result as a IBIResultSet or IBIDataSet?
Thanks in advance for your help,
best regards,
Thilo

Hello Mohan,
thanks for this impression - thats a way i didn't think about at all before. I even think, that it is not necessary to publish the query as iview - it would suffice to invoke the BEx-AdHoc-Analysis Service via a HttpConnection-Object within a servlet and then parse the result delivered by the BEx service. You won't even need BI Java SDK for this, since this is plain Java functionality.
But as i see there seems to exist no BI Java SDK-"generic" possibility to invoke an existing query as i see....
If anybody has got another idea, it is very welcome. But i think i will investigate on the approach with the native HTTP call to AdHoc Service.
Thanks anyway & best regards,
Thilo

Settings for SAP Portal start page from BEx Query Designer

Hi!
In order to see queries I would like to use SAP Enterprise Portal from BEx Query Designer.
When I push "execute" button within BEx Query Designer a wrong page will be shown in browser.
I changed the settings in table RSPOR_T_PORTAL, but still get the wrong Portal page shown in browser.
Question:
What is the transaction/table/report to customize the portal start page using by BEx Query Designer?
Thank you very much!
regards
Jürgen

Hi Anton?
Many thanks for your reply.
But I mentioned that I changed the URL within table RSPOR_T_PORTAL and this does not help...
Do you speak Russian? Me too
Can you also help me with the following problem?
Hi!
I am about to implement SAP Best Practices scenario "B34: Accounts Receivable Analysis".
Therefore I load the data from SAP ERP IDES system into SAP NetWeaver 2004s system.
My problems are:
when I try to load the transaction data for Infosources 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_AR_6 from SAP ERP system the following happens:
- the status is getting u201Cyellowu201D (194 from 0 records)
- at the next day the status is getting u201Credu201D and I received the following error:
Errors while sending packages from OLTP to BI
Diagnosis
No IDocs could be sent to BI using RFC.
System Response
There are IDocs in the source system ALE outbox that did not arrive in the ALE inbox of BI.
Further analysis:
Check the TRFC log.
You can access this log using the wizard or the menu path "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system".
Error handling:
If the TRFC is incorrect, check whether the source system is fully connected to BI. In particular, check the authorizations of the background user in the source system.
Comment:
I did not find any entries on "Environment -> Transact. RFC -> In source system"
The Source system connection EC6CLNT100 is OK
Can some one help me to solve this problem?

Drilldown in BeX Query Designer

Hello,
I am new in SAP. I am having problem creating Drill down. I have this report where all the data is Transactional data. So I haven't created any Master Data. So I won't be able to use Navigational Attribute for Drill down purpose and I don't want to use Hierarchy. Is there any possibility of getting the Drill down in BeX Query Designer? Any help will be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Debayan

Hi Debayan,
first of all, what is your requirement to create a drill down?
A drill down in BEx query means showing additional information from report output. There are 3 ways to drill down a query in BEx
1. Master data-Navigational Attributes
2. Master data- Hierarchies
3. Free characteristics
As you dont have any master data in the report (which is very strange) you can use the additional characteristics provided in the 'Free characteristics' to see how the drill down works in BEx.
Please share your exact requirement.
Hope this helps.

Percentage of Quotation response ={(No. of RFQReponses Received/ No. of RFQ items sent)*100},
                                                               ( 4/5 * 100= 80%)
Percentage RFQ without response= 100 - Percentage of Quotation response
                                                              = 100-80 = 20%

Hope you have done some groundwork you have done on this requirement. Have you tried to create New Formula and put the required formula in it to calculate Percentage of Quotation response ?
Your formulas seems to be straight forward.
Keep in Filter: item Not = L category =A status =RFQ
You may start working on it and get back with if you are struck.

Usage of formulas in conditions in BEx Query Designer

Hi guys,
does anybody of you guys know, if it's possible to use the results of formulas in conditions? I tried it, but the result of the query was "No applicable data found", but there are data for the selection.
When I'm defining the condition with the key figure (no restricted or calculated key figure), then the query can be executed.
In my case, I like to define a condition based on a formula result. The value should only be displayed, when the result is greater than 30.
Any ideas or are there any bugy in the BEx Query Designer?
Thanks a lot + best regards,
Clemens

Hi Clemens,
I have created a condition in my own system based on formula and it works perfectly fine. Please check following points in your condition change mode,
1) Condition is marked as Active.
2) In the block "Evaluate condition below for" you will have to select "All characteristics in drilldown Independently". If you have selected combination of characteristics then you will have to maintain proper sequence otherwise your condition will not work.
3) In the next block when you set the condition, click on new, in the first block select your Formula from dropdown and set the proper operator in your case you will have to select "Greater than" in the next column set the value of key figure and just trasnfer it.
Now you are ready to use the condition.
Regards,
Durgesh.
