Starting InfoSet Query 

Use

You can start InfoSet Query from role menus, from the SAP menu or via the maintenance transaction for queries in SAP Query.

Procedure: Starting from SAP Easy Access/Role Menu

You are working with a role menu or the Standard Easy Access Menu. You have already decided in which context you want to start InfoSet Query (this is necessary because InfoSet Query can be used in the role menus as well as in the standard menu in several info systems).

  1. Start InfoSet Query from the Easy Access menu with a double-click.

If you are assigned to a role that supports Reporting with InfoSet Query and you have started InfoSet Query from the role menu, InfoSet Query starts with an InfoSet and possibly a query. This means you can start directly to create or edit a query.

If you are not assigned to a role and have started InfoSet Query from a menu, you get to a dialog box first, where you have to select the query area, a user group and an InfoSet. This brings you to the InfoSet Query screen in which the InfoSet Query is displayed but no selections have been made. However, it is possible for InfoSet Query to start directly with an InfoSet or a query. If this is the case, you can start working on it straight away.

Calling InfoSet Query has been set up in HR so that InfoSet Query starts with fixed values for the parameters Query Area and User Group, and only Ad hoc Reporting can take place. This means that a user who starts InfoSet Query over HR’s information systems either goes straight to the assigned InfoSet in the initial screen of InfoSet Query or can choose between several assigned InfoSets. In this context, InfoSet Query is known in this type of call-up as Ad Hoc Query.

Procedure: Starting from SAP Query

You are assigned to a minimum of one user group, to which, in turn, a minimum of one InfoSet is assigned.

  1. In the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Tools ® ABAP Workbench ® Utilities ® SAP Query ® Queries.

    2. You get to the initial screen of the maintenance transaction for maintaining queries in SAP Query.

  2. To start InfoSet Query with a query, select a query.
  3. Choose InfoSet Query.

InfoSet Query is called.

If you are starting InfoSet Query for the first time since logging on the system, the dialog box for selecting InfoSets is displayed. Here, select a user group and an InfoSet.

If you have already used InfoSet Query after logging on, the user group and the InfoSet that were used last are displayed.

If you have selected a query, this is used as a template.

If you have called InfoSet Query from the standard area, you have the opportunity to use Ad hoc Reporting. If you have called InfoSet Query from the global area, you can develop queries. If you require further information, see Type of Reporting.

Please note that the selected query is not locked when you use this type of call-up for InfoSet Query. This only happens when you select a query in the maintenance transaction for queries and edit this with the Change function.
