How it works:
Assign each user to one or more user groups The queries assigned to one of the user groups when created All users in that group can see the queries when running SQ01 You assign the users of SAP Query by entering the user in user group (Transaction SQ03)
Assign InfoSets

Enter transaction SQ03 Enter a User Group Name Click Create Enter a group description Click Save Select Assign Users and InfoSets

[ Create InfoSets
InfoSets is a source of data
InfoSets can also be used in QuickViewer (SQVI), Crystal and a variety of BusinessObjects products Define data and field in the InfoSet

[ Step 3
- Create InfoSets
Enter transaction SQ02 Enter a name for InfoSet Click Create
First you decide whether the InfoSet belongs to the standard or global area All SAP objects begin with prefix /SAPQUERY/
Consider using naming conventions to ensure standards are followed for naming g consistency

[ Step 3
- Create InfoSets
Enter a Name for InfoSet (title) Select a data source Click Enter

[ Step 3
- Create InfoSets Only the items in the B section will be seen by users when creating reports p You create Field Groups Groups using the Create button to make logical groupings of your fields
B
Datasets are divided into logical g units. These are called field groups. You have to assign a field to a field group so that the user can output the field is in the list. Field groups are classified to provide a logical division of data

2. 2 Click Generate to build InfoSet; checks for errors 3. Click Back to return to main screen of Infoset

How will you organize data in field group? Think of your power users Like a good reporting who, what, where, when, how

[ Transport Strategy
A popular best practice is to design InfoSets in development, transport them to production, and create/maintain q p p , queries and user groups in live production environment This is what we do at Fairfax Water Also worked where nothing was transported and SAP Query developed occurred in production
51
52
53
The source of the data is key to ensure that queries run efficient and provide accurate output An InfoSet can be created on any of these. Best practice is to use the Logical database
54
55
[ Security
Options
Set security so that some users can create reports, while others only execute them Use LDB as source, user security is already built in so users see only what allowed to use

Cons:
No hierarchies, no display attributes, no currency translation Not all InfoSets are available for use
67
[ Tips
InfoSets can be used with SQVI but the Infoset needs to be in the standard,, not global area, otherwise you will receive error g , y message AQ100 InfoSet not found InfoSets using logical database read the data hierarchically If you have created a QuickView and you want to convert it to a SAP Query report, follow these three steps:
Navigate to the main screen of SAP Query (SQ01) Following menu path Queries > Convert QuickViews Select the QuickView from the dropdown box, and click the green check mark, and name the SAP query, and click the green h k k d h d l k h check mark again
68
[ Tips
Avoid creating query user groups with the same list of users. It is confusing and can become difficult to maintain. g When learning SAP Query, practice in the test/quality environment and graduate to live client only after thorough understanding d t di Dont rename field names within the InfoSet
69
[ Return on Investment
No ABAP Development Required Fast option for ad hoc reporting out of ECC You own it! It is part of your toolset no additional development required InfoSets can be a source of data for Crystal Reports and with ECC Enhancement Package 5 you can use InfoSets with other BusinessObjects tools
70
[ Best Practices
InfoSets are to be created in a development client and tested in a test client before moving to production g p Use Logical Databases as security within those logical databases will be handled for you. Develop naming conventions
71
[ Key Learnings
SAP Query is a quick way to report out of ECC with no development required p q InfoSets can be used as a data source to BusinessObjects Crystal and other BusinessObjects tools with ECC Enhancement Package 5 E h tP k As an SAP ECC customer, you own this tool! Start using it today. y
