| query (BW-BEX) |
Combination of characteristics and key figures (InfoObjects) that allow you to analyze the data in an InfoProvider.
A query corresponds to one InfoProvider, although you can define any number of queries for each InfoProvider.
You define a query in the BEx Query Designer by selecting InfoObjects or reusable query elements (structures, for example) for an InfoProvider. You can model the view of the InfoProvider data by allocating filters, rows, columns, and free characteristics.
You can use queries as the basis for generating data providers in BEx applications, or open them and execute them for analysis purposes in a standard view in the BEx Web Analyzer or BEx Analyzer.
