Downloading SAP Queries,Infosets and usergroups could be a bit daunting at

first,but nevertheless it is quite a useful skill to have in your arsenal. SAP Queries can
be divided into 2 parts called work areas:

(a)Standard Area(client-specific)

(b)Global Area(cross-client)

Any query created in the standard area is available to a particular client in the sap
system. For instance in the Development system with client 100.

Any Query created in the Global Area is available across all clients of given system.
For instance in the Development system,which has clients 100,200,300 etc.

Most of the SAP Standard Queries available under ‘Information System‘ nodes
belong to the Global Area,which usually used for SAP created Query Reports. Most
custom SAP Query reports are created in the Standard Area.

The following steps would be required in order to download and upload SAP Queries:

01 – Identifying the list of reports to be downloaded(T-code = SQ01):

> To seek out all queries relevant to your user group first enter in the transaction
‘SQ01‘ in the command field.

> use the menu path:

Environment > Query Areas > Standard Area(client-specific)

> Now click the other user group button[ ] on the extreme left of the application
toolbar or use the key board shortcut of ‘Shift + F7‘.

Clicking it will bring in all user groups associated with the the selected area and
select your specific user.

> Once the user group has been selected it brings in all the Queries created by your
specific user group.

01 – Finding list of SAP Query Reports to be downloaded using

SQ01

> Copy the names of all the reports that you want to download,by selecting one of
the columns and pressing the ‘Ctrl + Y‘ shortcut to select values of a specific column.
ideally copy and paste them in an excel sheet.

> Also copy the names of the infosets for the reports to be downloaded,by following
the same procedure as carried out by copying the names of the reports.

02 – Finding list of SAP Query infosets to be downloaded using

SQ01

[NOTE]:

> First download the user groups,associated with the Queries and Infosets.

> Secondly download the Infosets

> Lastly,download the relevant queries.

> Do keep in mind that all infosets associated with the reports must also be
downloaded.

> In SQ01,you can also find the name of the infoset associated with it as well. Which
is shown in the form of an alv like list,once you have selected your user group,as
mentioned above.

> Do remember the work area in which you have created your user group(Standard
Area or Global Area),as all queries are associated with your usergroup,and if the
correct work area is not selected,the list of queries associated with it won’t be shown.

For finding the list of all SAP Queries associated with an Infoset:

> There is a query mechanism in SQ02,that allows you to fetch all the reports
associated with a particular infoset. Right click the infoset name and choose the
‘Queries for Infoset‘ option,this will show a list of SAP Query reports that are using
this selected infoset.

This will bring the ‘SAP Query Transport Tool‘,a utility for performing transports of
mentioned objects.

> In the ‘Transport Action Selection‘ area,select the ‘Download‘ radio button. Next
check the

‘Overwriting allowed(only with import/upload/copy)‘ checkbox. Finally uncheck the

‘Test run‘ checkbox in this area. If you want to transport variants created by the users

usergroup name as well as the SAP Query names in the fields provided. When you

and finally if all the steps have been successfully followed,you will find them uploaded
to any of the targeted systems. In my case,on QAS server. See the screenshot below.

I have also attached the sample sap user group,infoset and queries backup as were
demonstrated throughout this document. These could found individually attached

with the following names ‘z_sap_queries.zip‘,’zfj_infoset.zip‘ and ‘zfj_usergroup.zip‘.

Just extract each of them to upload them via SQ02.

Some Caveats for SAP Query Uploads to Work:

> Lets say you have not added a user(An SAP User) to a user group from where you
want to access you sap query related objects. You should add it in the SAP User
group from the SQ03 transaction.

> Make sure that all SAP Queries have been re-generated and they don’t have any
errors. These could be achieved by first selecting the SAP Query in SQ01 and going to
the menu path:

Query > More Functions > Generate Program

Secondly,you can also adjust your query to reflect newer changes in the SAP Info set
associated with it. This can be achieved by going to the menu path:

Query > More Functions > Adjust

Do keep in mind that if there are any errors in you SAP Query objects,they wont be
uploaded successfully to the targeted system.

[NOTE]:

> These caveats should be followed on the Source Client on which you have created
all your SAP Query related objects.

In my system I don't have authorization for SQ01/02/03 in target system. However, I managed to generate
query by executing it in START_REPORT transaction.

Dear Narender,

Thanks for the appreciation. Have you tried the program named 'RSAQR3TR' by running it in t-code
'SE38'. This should show the download options,if you are authorized to run transaction code SE38.
