Hi Kaavita,

Query areas were created to allow you to fulfill varying requirements with SAP Query.

A query area contains a set of query objects (queries, InfoSets, and user groups) that are discrete and consistent.

You can differentiate between two different query areas, the standard area and the global area. Both query areas provide you with a full range SAP Query functions.

· Standard area

In the standard query area, all query objects (queries, InfoSets, user groups) are created and managed specifically for each client. Query objects are not attached to the Workbench Organizer, this means that they cannot be created and transported according to standard correction and transport procedures. This is a big advantage for end users that want to develop queries (ad-hoc reports) in their own client that are not meant for use in the rest of the system. Query objects can still be transported, however the transport process requires manual preparation and is not automatically initiated (export and import takes place using Query transport tools).

· Global area

Query objects in the global area are cross-client, that is they are available throughout the whole system and in all clients. Query objects in the global area are connected to the Workbench Organizer. They can be created and transported using the normal correction and transport procedures.

Transport is initiated automatically and no manual preparation is required. The global query area is therefore well suited for centrally developing queries meant for use and distribution throughout the system. All query objects delivered by SAP (from Release 4.0) are located in the global query area.

Both the global and the standard query areas contain discrete and consistent numbers of query objects. No relationships of any sort can exist between objects from different query areas. For example, you cannot create a query in the standard area using an InfoSet from the global area
