Thanks for your quick response. I have gone through couple of notes but it is hard for me to understand. What i want is if we are working in a project where they are upgrading to BI 7.0........While upgrading there queries from 3.x versison to 7.0 version what errors may occur while testing those queries. Please tell me if you come accross any problems in backend too.

I have gone through a document related to migration in which they say that we need to do DTP because infopackages only load data until PSA. I need some real time scenarios in frontend and back end so that i can defend my resume.....

Please help!!!

Do a search in the forum for new dataflow in 7.0 and query designer 7.0, you would find a plenty of threads discussing the new functionality and known bugs and the work arounds etc.

Hi,

These are issues we faced...

With NW04S GUI

-Opening Existing 3.x queries in BI 7.0 query designer errors out

Compiler Error?

-Adding button to a report is not working with Bex Analyzer. Is there a fix already available or something to do with the Gui?

- Adding dropdown boxes to bex reports is not working when a value is selected from the dropdown box. Is there a fix available or something to do with the Gui?

With 3.5 Front end

- 2 Structures in a query generates dump

- Variants are missing. Ran a program RSR_VARIANT_XPRA, it dumped.

- Report to Report Interface has shown error message. 0Employee_zch_hrdt can not be uniquely assigner.

- Change of currency translation settings during runtime gives error

Hope this helps..

<i><b>Can you tell me how did you solve these isues WITH NW04S GUI</b></i>

Is it WITH 7.0 FRONT END or 3.5 Front end?

<b>With 3.5 Front end</b>

<i>- 2 Structures in a query generates dump

- Report to Report Interface has shown error message. 0Employee_zch_hrdt can not be uniquely assigner.

I understand when variants are missing you have ran a program and hence that problem got fixed. Can you tell me where to run this program?

Same way can you tell me how to resolve other issues?

You made my life easier by sending some real time scenarios. I was unable to defend my resume. This really helps if you tell me how to solve some issues. Thank you very much
