Answers
1) The use of different tools in
SAP largely depends on the customer. In general, Query Groups and InfoSets
are maintained by your company’s technical users, although the creation
of queries varies. In some organizations, users see it as a great means
of creating their own reports without seeking the assistance of the technical
users. On the other hand, depending on your company’s security configuration,
the creation of queries and QuickViews might be restricted to technical
or super functional users only.
2) Query Groups, InfoSets, and administrative
decisions (which are company specific) are the three main components of
the Query family.
3) Unlike all other modules, the
Field groups that are automatically created in your InfoSet contain fields
based on InfoTypes automatically without the users having to add them.
4) The SAP Query is the most robust.
5) There are several ways that security can influence the availability of data in Query reporting. Security depends on your company’s security configuration, but if you use logical databases, the security is built-in and uses your standard security profile when determining what data you have access to.
