Complex Conditions (dmqry0507m000)

Use this session to link two or more queries to a main query.

The Complex Conditions (dmqry0507m000) session can be invoked from the Specific menu of the following sessions:

  • Query (dmqry0501m000).
  • Previous Runs (dmqry0503m000).

To start the Complex Conditions (dmqry0507m000) session from the Query (dmqry0501m000) session, the main query type must be linked query.

If you start the Complex Conditions (dmqry0507m000) session from the Previous Runs (dmqry0503m000) session, the session is read only. You can view the condition on which the previous run was performed. You cannot modify the data.

To work with the Complex Conditions (dmqry0507m000) session:

The object type and query fields are filled with the selected values from the Query (dmqry0501m000) session.

The link type is always set to And.

The link direction can be the following: Link Member to Owner: The base query object is a member of a family owned by linked query object.

If the link type is Link Member to Owner, you are prompted with all the families of which the query object is a member. On selection of a particular family, you are prompted to select a query based on the family owner as the object .

For example, query Q-001 is based on CR. The user selects the family FATT_DOCS, of which CR is a member. The user must select a query Q-0010 based on the family owner of FATT_DOCS, which is DOCS.

Link Owner to Member: The base query object is the owner of the family and the linked object is a member.

If the link type is Link Owner to Member, the user is prompted with all the families for which the base query object is the owner. On selection of a particular family, you are prompted to select an object from the list of members of the selected family. Then you are prompted to select the linked query which is based on the previously selected object

For example, query Q-001 is based on CR. The user selects the family FATT_CR with CR as the owner. The user then clicks EITM as the linked object from a list of member object of FATT_CR. The user then clicks Q-0011 based on EITM.

Combined Queries: Queries based on the same object type are linked.

If the link type is combined queries, the user is prompted to select a query based on the query object type.

For example, Q-001 is based on CR, the user clicks a query Q-0012 based on CR. Queries are defined based on a single object type, or based on combined queries.
