Create variable from query filter

Hello;
I want to define @prompt parameters as dimension or measure. So that we will use those parameters for the calculations we will use in our reports.
For example; we will like to use prompt for year in efasion universe. This prompt is going to ask two year parameter (the operant we will use is between) We want to get the difference between these two years . and we will like to save that value as a different variable.

Thanks in advance.

hi Dineshkumar89 ;
I checked the your formula . But variable when used alone returns correct results But it returns wrong value or error in same record.
for instance;
i created a variable named diff.year. formula = Abs(ToNumber(First([Year]))-ToNumber(Last([Year])))
selection value : First : 2001 Last: 2003
year     Sales Revenue Diff.year
2001     39600         0
2001     3500         0
2003     6500         0
Results should be as below.
year     Sales Revenue Diff.year
2001     39600          2
2001     3500          2
2003     6500           2
thanks.

Can't subtotal on measure variables from Query 2 in merge dimension report

I use a query identifying customers (Query1.HH_ID) sold by each salesperson. A second query identifies a subset of those customers who are longtime customers. I merge these queries using the dimension, HH_ID. I project Query1.HH_ID onto the report and create a variable via =If([Query2].[HH_count]=1;1;0) to get a measure which is either 1 or 0 depending on whether a record is retrieved from Query2 with a value for Query2.HH_ID that matches Query1.HH_ID. The report is fine at the detail level, but when I insert a break and try to subtotal the measures, the variable from Query 2 produces a subtotal of 0 even though I can see a mixture of detail records with 1s and 0s. It appears that one cannot subtotal on measures from Query2 in a merged dimension report, or at least not if the merged dimension is not projected onto the report but rather only the dimension from Query1. Is this a known principle?

Hi Michael,
I think the issue is that they Query2.HH_Count is being summed first. So if you have a mixture of values, say
rownumber, value
1,1
2,0
3,1,
4,0
you will get 0 as your HH_count will equal 2.
Try
=If(Query2.HH_count>=1;1;0)
Alternatively try
=If(Average(Query2.HH_count)=1;1;0)
Hope this helps

Use Yesterday as variable for Query Filter

Post Author: rrburton
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
I want to have a query filter that refers to the previous day. In regular SQL I would use something like "= trunc(sysdate)-1". I don't see any option for doing it this way in web intelligence, the closest it comes is selecting object and then assigning the Beginning of Last Week item from the System Date table. What am I missing?

Post Author: rrburton
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Nevermind - I figured it out just now. It isn't very intuitive. In the Objects and Variables dialog in the SystemDate table there are a bunch of items like 1 day, 2 days, etc. and you select one of those and then in the code it looks like:
WHERE PKG_NTD_CONV.TO_ORCL_DATE(TROUBLE_TICKET_ARCHIVE.CREATE_DATE) = ( sysdate )-1
It should say something like 1 day ago, 2 days ago, etc.

Delete variable from Query

Hi Guru's,
I copied a query saved with a new name and made some changes to the new one, when I run the Query I get 3 variables(pop up) eg., PlanVersion, Period Interval, Year. I dont need Plan Version, Period Interval, but need just the Year...When I see the Query Properties I see all the three Variables I dont have the option to delete any of them... Any ideas would be highly appreciated...
Cheers..
PR

Hi PR,
You cannot delete the variables from the query properties. You will need to delete them from the query definition (rows, columns, filter and free char areas). The period variable would be restricting char 0FISCPER (most probably) so see where it is included in the query definition and remove it from there. Same goes for the Plan Version.
Hope this helps...

Creating Variables From Text File

Hello a little new to powershell and have banging my head on the wall trying to get this working.
I have a text file (where the numbers of lines will change everytime) that will contain AD groups.
Lets say it looks like this
GroupA
GroupB
GroupC
I'm trying to you a loop that will read the file and output each new line to a variable so
var1=GroupA
Var2 =GroupB
Var3=Groupc
My first problem is that non of these can be null since this will be then be used with Add-ADgroupmemeber
So I have it get the number of items with $Items = get-content *File* | Measure-Object -Line
After that I have been trying to use a loop which to me looks like it should work however is not. I'm not getting any errors. However I'm not getting any created variables either.
For ($i=1; $i -lt $Items.lines; $i++) {
$var[$i] = (Get-Content *File*)[$i-1]
write-host $var[$i]}
In my head I should get a listed of each line of the txt file but I'm getting nothing.
In the end I was hoping to doing something along the lines of ADD-Adgroupmember -identity $Var[$i] -members *Machine Name*
If there is a better way to approach this I'm all ears.
Thanks for any help!

You don't need a loop to read each line from the file. You don't need a variable for each group read from the file.
For example, if your file looks like:
GroupA
GroupB
GroupC
with spaces/empty lines in it, that you wish to ignore, you can use:
$Groups = Get-Content .\groups2.txt | % { ($_.split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) }
The $Groups variable will be an array that holds non-empty lines from the file. You can use that directly as in:
foreach ($Group in (Get-Content .\groups2.txt | % { ($_.split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) })) {
Add-ADGroupMember -identity $Group -members *Machine Name*

Create collection from query with bind variable

Apex 4.0.2
Per Joel Re: Collection with bind variable the apex_collection.create_collection_from_query_b supports queries containing bind variable references (:P1_X) but I am not sure how to use this feature, the documentation doesn't have an example, just the API signature for the overloaded version has changed.

Help with project: trying to create variables from decimals

topic may be a bit unclear, but I have a project from a java course. I need to create a simple program, but hit a bit of a bump.
I have made a formula to find that the total hours equals 2.7350 which is equal to 2hours, 44minutes, 6seconds.
so to sum what I just said up, I have the number 2.7350, but need to display 2hours, 44minutes, 6seconds
now I need help of how I can accomplish this with basic java (this is my first java class).
If there is a way to leave 2 and take .7350 in separate variables, I can make some more formulas to convert that to the answer I need displayed, but I don't know how.
Please help if you have ideas
Thank You

ahh, that just gave me an idea, I can't believe subtraction didn't come into my mind.
I also should have mentioned that the numbers are generated via formula and user input, so it is not pre set.
I will try something out with the subtraction idea. however, if you have a solution please post it in case my idea doesn't work.
thanks again ^^

Create table from query in Form

I want to create table in Form 6i, on form I have :sdate , :edate and :dpt Item.

end;When I was tried in TOAD It is showing error
ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number
Edited by: Ahmed on Oct 19, 2011 11:11 PM

you can't use bind variables within forms_ddl. An option would be to not do any ddl at all, and do something like this:
delete from test;
insert into test(a,b,c)
select a,b,c from emp
where hiredate between :sdate and :edate
and deptno = :dpt;cheers

Creating XML from query result (how?)

It's a very general question. That is the simplest way to create XML containing data returned by a query?

Retrieving user created variables from multiple instances using PAPI-WS

Hi,
I'm using PAPI-WS to retrieve a list of instances from Oracle BPM 10.3.1.0.0 using ProcessGetInstance. These are modeled as external tasks. ProcessGetInstance returns an InstanceInfoBean which has no place for user defined variables that were set when the instances were started.
The only way to get user defined variables seems to be to iterate through the entire list and send an InstanceGetVariable request for each one. InstanceGetVariable does not seem allow more than one instance id to be specified in a call from my testing. This is very inefficient since we could easily have hundreds of instances that we're trying to display. Is there some way to get the list of instances to include the user defined variables, or to get the user defined variables for more than one instance in a single call?
Thanks,
Steve

Creating count from queried fields

Post Author: John
CA Forum: Formula
Hello all. Newbie here to the forum and CR.
Running CR 9
I have a report that extracts certain data from the database. A field that displays "test code", is not part of the original search criteria. I have been asked to total "test code" but, I don't know how to count the records from the extracted data.
For example, I'm pulling in everyone with a last name that begins with a "J" and who came in the store from 01/01/07 - 01/31/07. I then list the data and also print their address, city, state, zip, and "test code". The "test code" is one of 3 possible codes. I want to have 1 running total for each of these 3.
My knowledge allows me to create a running total on the field but, the total is from ALL of the records that match.
So, if we had 45 people with "J" and 01/01/07 - 01/31/07, the running total will be 67 because it is finding all data sets that match it's code. It isn't pulling from the original search criteria of "J" and 01/01/07 - 01/31/07.
Any help is appreciated.
John

CA Forum: Formula
A running total runs along side the data so it should never be placed in a header or the detail section.It must always reside in a group footer, page footer or report footer.Your basic running total in crystal will initilize at the report header, evaluate at the detail level and display the value in the report footer.So for your generalized case you have a simple running total that starts a count at 0 to start the report.You running total should be setup like thisField to summarize -> Product_IDType of summary -> countEvaluate - using formula -> inside formula typed in (if product_id = 4344211 then true else false)Reset -> neverAnd it won't matter if you put it in the GF2, GF1, PF, or RF the value will always be 4. If your report spans multiple pages though you should not put the formula in the PF as it report the running total as of the page but keep on totaling to the next page.My suggestion to you would be to test your report with a manual running total to see exactly where your numbers counting is going astray.To do that create 3 formulas@init_count (place in report header)whileprintingrecords;numbervar a;a:= 0@eval_count (place at the detail level)whileprintingrecords;numbervar a;if product = 4344211 thena := a + 1@display_count (place in the report footer)whileprintingrecords;numbervar a;athis will show you exactly what is being counted for every single item in your reportnormally you'd use a manual running total to get a summary of a summary or to sum a value at a group level but this should help you decode what is causing you buggy datahope this helps

Fox Formula Variable In Query Designer

Hi Experts,
I have created 1 variable in fox formula of type VARV and i want this Variable to show in query designer while creating new Variable so that i can replace the Query Variable With Fox Formula by Using Replacement Path.
While Creating new variable in Query Designer it is not Showing that Fox Formula variable.
Because i want to use this in WAD While Executing the Planning Sequence.
Is there any way we could get That Fox Formula variable in Query Designer.

Hi Marc,
While Creating Variable from Query Using Query Properties it is still not Showing That Variable in Fox Formula.
And My Requirement was to Replace that Fox Formula Variable With Query Designer Variable.
Please Suggest any Solution.

InputDate and Data parameter from query

Hello,
I'm expiriencing some problems with my Web project,
I have Model and View.
I created ViewObject from query with parameter:
SELECT r.room_id FROM rooms r WHERE (r.from_date>=:from_date);Parameter :from_date has type 'Date'.
In ApplicationModule everythin works fine, but on jspx no (I've created ADF Parameter Form from ExecuteWithParameters operation)
<af:inputDate value="#{bindings.from_date.inputValue}"
                            label="#{bindings.from_date.hints.label}"
                            required="#{bindings.from_date.hints.mandatory}"
                            shortDesc="#{bindings.from_date.hints.tooltip}"
                            binding="#{backing_request.inputDate1}"
                            id="inputDate1">
                <f:validator binding="#{bindings.from_date.validator}"/>
                <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.from_date.format}"/>
              </af:inputDate>In JSPX parameter don't work, maybe it is still default?
I tried using convertDateTime and modyfing DateFormat in View Object but without effect :(
Could you please provide me some hint where I could look for my mistake?

After few hours in fight I finally got working form. I don't know if I'm right, I suppose that it wasn't my bad but SQLDevelopers' ;)
Originally I added new rows into table with SQLDeveloper, yesterday I created input form on JSPX page and add new row with Submit button, suddenly my 'ExecuteWithParameter' JSPX page has worked.
Does SQLDeveloper could be the reason?
