The easy query concept was introduced in SAP NetWeaver 7.3 SPS05.
You are in the system where you want to expose the easy query and have performed the required configuration steps (see Configuring Easy Queries).
Query Definition
You have defined the required analytic query. Note that the analytic query can only be declared an easy query if it meets the following criteria:
Key figures cannot be mixed with characteristics.
Key figures can only be used on the X axis.
Characteristics can only be used on the Y axis.
Query variables are allowed. Single values or intervals can be used (depending on the variable definition). Multiple selection (of single values) is not possible.
The analytic query is static (standard view only).
The analytic queries can contain hierarchies and free characteristics. The easy query runtime only returns the standard view of the analytic query however. Hierarchy data is returned. Navigation and drilldown in the hierarchy or using free characterstics is not supported however.
The analytic query can contain formatting settings. The easy query runtime does not return this information however.
The easy query does not support any exceptions. The easy query can display the query result but ignores exceptions.
The easy query does not support any planning. The easy query runtime can display the query result but ignores planning functions and is read-only.
Easy queries allow external access to queries (for more information, see the overview in Open Analysis Interfaces).
For an overview of the easy queries that you have generated, and to manage them, use Easy Query Manager (transaction EQMANAGER) in the BW system.
The required easy query is now available for use.
For more information on the easy query result, see Easy Query API.
Transport Connection
The easy query is not a transportable object. As the query definition contains the Easy Query property however, the system generates the associated easy query after transporting to another system if the Easy Query property has been set.
