Fetch Data from a BW Query

The following sample shows how to fetch data from a BW Query using ERPConnect.

About

This sample uses the BW query ZSIMPLEQUERY which is based on the cube 0D_DECU.
The following screenshot shows the query in the designer.

BW-001

Note

To allow external access to a BW Query the checkbox Allow external access has to be set to active in the preferences for the query.

The dimensions Material and Sold-to party as well as the key figures Billed Quantity and Costs can be drawn into a DataGrid, see screenshot below.
The dimension has a variable called MAT01 that allows a limitation to the material number.
