Difficulty with Format Value for Time Format

I have a vi where the current time is split out of an Analog waveform (using Get Waveform Components), and subtracted from a starting time, to result in a relative time since the test began. This may not be the most elegant way of doing it, but it works great. The problem is that when I try to convert the elapsed time in seconds back to a time format for saving to a spreadsheet, I get the results shown by the probes. In case the screen capture is not clear enough, the format string is %<%H:%M:%S>t. A colleague has tried this format and it works great. He's running 8.2, and I'm running 7.1. Other than that, our applications appear identical. Any ideas?

I'm also on 8.2 and it works fine for me. Maybe format value couldn't handle time format codes in 7.1. I'm not really sure and I don't have it installed to check. Why don't you use "Format into String" instead? It will work the same way, and should work fine with 7.1.

Format Date for time.

i have a doubt as to how to store the date along with time from my front-end Forms Developer Suite 9i application.
I am trying to give this kind of statement from SQL-plus:-
update login_master set last_accessed=to_Char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yy HH:mi:ss')
where login_ID = :GLOBAL.LOGIN_ID
but, there is a message which comes like this:-
ORA-01830 date format picture ends before converting string.
Also, i want to compare this time stored against time a little later, say after 1 or 2 hrs to get number of minutes.
How can i do this? I hope, my question is clear. Please help in solving the doubt.
regards.

Issue with Negative Value for Total valuated stock 0VALSTCKQTY.

Hi Experts,
we loaded the Cube with datasources 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM.
We mapped the quanity field from 2LIS_03_BF in transformation either into Key figures "Quantity issued from valuated stock" (0ISSVALSTCK) or "Quantity received into valuated stock" (0RECVALSTCK ) of the cube.
For obtaining the Total Valuated stock, we used the Key figure 0VALSTCKQTY. This key figure is having the Inflow and Out flow values as 0RECVALSTCK and 0ISSVALSTCK. When i tried to check the content of 0VALSTCKQTY, the key figure 0VALSTCKQTY is not present in the infoCube content. I understood that the value for this key figure would be calculated at the time of query execution with the formula
{ Last obtained Valuated stock + (Received Valuated Stock u2013 Issued Valuated Stock ) }.
The issue is the first records in the query is obtained with negative value for the total valuated stock 0VALSTCKQTY even though the values of Received Valuated Stock and Issued Valuated Stock are with Zero. Could any one please help me on how the first record in the query is with a negative value eventhough the inflow and out flow fields of it are with Zero.
Many Thanks in advance.

Hi Srini,
I observed an interresting reason for the stock being with negative in the first record.
Issue : While executing the BEx report, we have the first record with a negative value.
Let me explain with an example
Material : XYZ
Plant      : A
Date of Stock Initialization for data source 2LIS_03_BX -
> 12th April 2009.
So on 12 Th April 2009 consider that we have a stock in store with a value of 2640.
Then we have loaded wih Data source 2LIS_03_BF for all Historic Movement types.
At the time of query execution we will have the first record with a negative of available stock present on the day of initialization .
So, as we have initilized the data source 2LIS_03_BX on 12 th April 2009, we have at that time a stock of 2640 in availability.
Exactly with the same value of 2640, we are having a negative value i.e. -2640.
and also one more point to be noted is ...as we have initialized the data source 2LIS_03_BX on 12 th APril 2009...it has created a
opening balance of 2640 on the day of initiailization i.e on 12 th April 2009 in infocube....(which is an extra record...)...so if the previous record of 12,04,2009 is having some value in it..then it will get added to 2640 EA..which will give incorrect stock
So in the query the records will appear in the below following manner
Calendar Day     Total stock                                                                Received stock                                          Issued Stock
28.12.2005 ---> - 2640 EA
29.12.2005 --->    2000 EA                                                                       640 EA                                                        0
10.04.2009 --->      0                                                                                0                                                               2000 EA
11.04.2009 -
>    0                                                                                0                                                                0
                             (For making
                              the earlier record of initilization to 0 a negative value -2640 EA is created in the first record )
12.04.2009 (Initializtion day) ---> 2640 EA                                                 0                                                                0
13.04.2009
the day before initialization the total stock will be 0 due to the negative effect introduced by the first record and from the day of initialization the records will be the accurate values... On 12 th april 2009 we can see that a stock of 2640 is brought into the total stock. In fact if there is no negative value i.e. -2640 in the first record then ...the value on 11.04.2009 will be 2640 Ea and this will get summed up with the Opening balance of 2640 EA created by 2LIS_03_BX on the day of intitialization. So on 12 .04. 2009 the total stock will be shown as 5280 EA...so in order to prevent the double value only we observed that the first record is created with the negative of available stock present on the initialization ...to make the record before the day of initialization i.e. 11.04.2009...to be 0...so that from 12 th April 2009 ..will start to see the actual total stock in the query result...
This is happening only if we use both the data sources 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_BF for loading into BW.....
If we load alone by 2LIS_03_BF ...then as 2LIS_03_BX is ruled out in the loading...then no negative of available stock will be created ...because there will be bno opening balance created on the day of initialization.....and the opeing balance available will be flowing into consecutive records due to the movement types and 12 th April 2009 will be shown with avaialable total stock of 2640 EA.
Kindly let us know your opinions on this...
Thanks.

Pro*C & SQLDA with NULL value for predicate column

Hi: I am using a C program to update a table via a dynamic sql (method 4) and SQLDA. In the update statement predicate, I have place holders (as in TBLCOL=:C000). One of the columns in the predicate contains null values, so I set L[n] = 0, V[n] = pData (which pData[0] = '\0'), *(I[n]) = -1, and T[n] = 5 (for text). I cannot find the row that I know is there.
I cannot change my statement to contain TBLCOL IS NULL, since I don't know ahead of time if I'm looking for rows with null values for this column. The Pro*C manual says that by setting the appropriate *(I[n]) = -1, it indicates to Oracle to simulate the "IS NULL" clause, and update the appropriate rows. In my case, I receive 1403 as SQLCODE when I use TBLCOL=:C000 vs TBLCOL IS NULL. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

You should include these columns as well;
ChangeType (see mxi_changetype)
ValOwner (repository)
UserID ("jobid=<>", usermskey, GUI (mmc), DG (dyngrp), reconcile)
IdAudit (This is the event task (add and del member for assignments)
ParentAuditId (AuditID of parent which last updated the attribute, not consistent)
ChangedBy (Holds the MSKEY of the user which last changed the attribute)
ExpiryTime
to make sure you get a fuller picture of the audit record.

Does an external hard drive ALWAYS need to be connected to my mbp with retina display for Time Machine?

Does an external hard drive ALWAYS need to be connected to my mbp (OS 10.10.1) with retina display for Time Machine? Or can it be connected once a week or whenever I want? I used to have an external drive always connected to my previous mbp, but it made moving my mbp around a bit of a hassle with it connected...

When the backup drive is not connected, some of the free space on the internal drive will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. Local snapshots will protect you from unintended file deletions, but not from a drive failure. You should only go as long between backups as you're willing to lose data. If losing a week's worth of work is acceptable to you, then that backup frequency is OK. Otherwise, it isn't.

Type conversion from numeric value to time format

hi guys,
i hvae column called (Time in seconds).i need to convert the numeric value of one column into time format HH:MM:SS. for example 3012 =00:50:12.
how can i proceed the same in the front end.
Thanks & Regards,
Nandu

Hi..
here is the code.. (assuming 10000 in the following code is your seconds, replace that with your value...)
cast(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0) as varchar(2)) || ' : ' || cast(TRUNCATE(60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))),0) as varchar(2)) || ' : ' ||cast(60*((60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))))-(TRUNCATE(60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))),0))) as varchar(2)) You can also use floor instead of truncate...
Above will give only h:m:s format if hh (or) mm (or) ss are between 0 and 9. So, you may need to add case when condition before each concatenation: if hh is between 0 and 9 then need to concatenate with 0 else the same code...
Thanks...

PCs won't recognise my HDD after formatting partition for TIME MACHINE

Hi,
I divided my WD Passport HDD in 2 250GB partitions, to work both with TIME MACHINE and also as an archive to share files and folders with other computers. Time machine has now backed up my system, but as I plugged the HDD in my PC it won't recognise it... I mean, it recognises that a USB storage device has been connected, but then it won't show in My Computer.
What can I do? does anyone know if there is any ways that I can keep my archive partition compatible with Windows?
thanks,
Fra

Hi Fra and welcome to Discussions,
I assume that your archive partition is using 'Mac OS Extended (journaled)' as file system, correct ?
If so, only MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ can help Windows to see and use this partition.
If you use FAT32 (a.k.a. MS-Dos in Disk Utility) or NTFS as file system on your archive partition, there are reports of Windows PCs not being able to see/use harddisks that uses GPT (GUID Partition Table - standard on Intel Macs).
You could solve this by reformating/repartitioning your external harddisk using MBR (Master Boot Record) as partition scheme, but not only will this erase all informations that are on your external harddisk right now, it will also prevent Time Machine from using this harddisk.
So, this is not a viable option for you.
Regards
Stefan

Multiple values for Time Characteristics (Ex: 0CALMONTH) in planning layout

Hello,
We are on BW - BPS 3.5v
We have a realtime infocube with only time characteristic 0CALMONTH.
There is a requirement that in my Planning layout I have to display the Keyfigures for:
(CURRENT MONTH) (CUMULATIVE 4 MONTHS FROM CURRENT MONTH) (CUMULATIVE 7 MONTHS FROM CUR MONTH)
I defined 3 exit variables on 0CALMONTH , one for Current Month, one for All 4 months from Current Month and another for All 7 months from Current Month.
In my planning layout when I use these variables for 0CALMONTH, I don't get the values for 4 months & 7 months.
I checked the variables are being populated with correct values. But when they get passed to the layout it doesn't read the Cube.
I got the basic doubt if we can give multiple values for the time characteristics in planning layout..??
Thanks for any suggestions.
Vish

Hi.
Did you created 3 restricted KF: one with KF amount and variable current month, second with amount and variable 4 monthes, third with amount and variable 7 monthes ?
Did you have match records in you cube ?

Difficulty with java Unicode for internationalization

First, my appologies for the cross-post. I'm not sure if this is a
configuration issue, simple java / jsp problem or something others
performing internationalization may have encountered.
We're generating UTF-8 HTML pages using .jsp's, Weblogic 5.1 sp5, jdk
1.2.2 and NT 4.0 w/ the Euro patch.
We have the ability to serve UTF-8 encoded data from flat files and our
database but we're having some problems serving Unicode that have been
"escaped" into java variables.
If we use the &#nnnnn (nnnn is decimal unicode value for character) HTML
method for displaying unicode characters, they display just fine.
However, if we create a java String or char and push a character into it
via \uNNNNN (NNNNN is hex unicode value for character) and then display
the content of this variable through the HTML page, something goes
awry. Here's an example:
<% String checkChar = new String("\u0000");%>
<td class="smallfont"><% checkChar = "\u00A5";%><%=checkChar%></td>
<td class="smallfont"><% checkChar = "\u20A5";%><%=checkChar%></td>
<td class="smallfont"><% checkChar = "\u30A5";%><%=checkChar%></td>
This should display the Yen symbol, Mil Sign and a Katakana small 'u',
respectively. Oddly enough, it displays the Yen symbol all three
times. I've had similar results with other series of Unicode characters
(several Unicode characters that share the same second hex digit.)
If you want to see this via HTML, check out
http://dev.slingshotcorp.com/char.jsp.
We've added "-Dfile.encoding=UTF8" to the java invocation in
startWebLogic.cmd and we've verified that the setting is persisted into
the .jsp. Unfortunately, our output isn't affected.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? It appears that java is somehow
assuming the first hex digit is always "00." Does this sound familiar
to anyone?
Thanks - Jackson

Hello Earl,
I was having similar problem.
I was able to display &#nnnnn and the chinese character
from database, but not \unnnn.
I think Kevin Burns was making a good suggestion by
giving page directive in your jsp file (UTF8) 'cause that's what
I did AND it started to display \unnnn just fine from
my property bundle files. You may give a try!
But my problem is that after I gave the UTF8 page directive,
the stuff I'm reading from db (oracle 8.1.6, with NLS_LANG)
displayed as garbage. Do you think it's because that
WLS supports only Unicode?
thanks,

Reason to set MaxErrorCount along with Propogate value for Excel Files

Hi,
I had an ETL earlier which processed CSV files from a folder. The requirement was to load the error files into a Rejected folder but continue to process all the files from the source Folder. This requirement was satisfied by setting the value of the
system variable "Propogate" in EventHandler section for DataFlowTask to "false".
MaxErrorCount value for the ForEach Loop is having its default value as "1".
When tested, it was working perfectly fine
Now currently there is an Excel file as source having same requirement as above. But even when then variable "Propogate" was set to "false" as above, the execution was getting stopped when an error file was found.
Later I found the below link :
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/0065b5c2-f633-4cbf-81f9-031d1ed25555/how-to-skip-wrong-excel-files-ignore-errors-on-ssis-foreach-task
As mentioned in the link, I have done below changes
1)Set MaxErrorCount for ForEachLoop to 1000
2)"Propogate" variable is set to false
Now this is working perfectly fine.
Can you please let me know why did the setting of "Propogate" worked for CSV but did not work for Excel. For Excel files why was an additional setting for MaxErrorCount was required.
It would be very much helpful if I can get a detail information on the above
Thanks,

Hi Raksha,
In you SSIS package, setting the Propagate system variable to False of the Event Handler prevents the Data Flow Task (DFT) propagating its failure to its parent container. For the ValidateMetadata property of a Data Flow Task Component, it doesn’t only affect
the DFT at design time but also at runtime. During the Validation phase, a component is supposed to check to make sure that the cached metadata in the package is still in sync with the underlying table/view/query. If there is a mismatch, the component returns
a special status (VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA). When this happens at design-time, SSIS triggers a metadata refresh by calling ReinitializeMetadata(). At runtime, this results in an error.
In your scenario, by setting the ValidateMetadata property to false, the error of the DFT is avoided, hence, you don’t need to set the MaxErrorCount to a value more than 1.
For more information about how ValidateMetadate property works, please see Matt’s answer in the following thread:

Extracting data with zero values for periods without data

Hello Together,
i extracted data from our hfm application from period 1 to 3.
Now i found that some rows begin with period 2 or 3 because there are no data in period 1 or 2.
So my question is, how i can get zero values for periods with no data.
Hope someone can help me.
Many thanks in advance.
Martin
P.S.: Our actual hfm version is 11.1.1.3
edit

For the periods with no data, HFM does not have a "0" to offer for the data extraction. Since the default data extract from HFM has each period on it's own row in the *.dat file, I don't understand your comment about rows starting with period 2 or 3. In the *.dat file the row for period 1 simply won't exist. Are you using a custom approach/tool for data extraction?
The only time HFM will offer a "0" where there is indeed no data, is if you extract derived data. You must include calculated data, and even then I believe HFM will only extract a "0" for the first period after a period where there was data, and only for flow accounts (Revenue/Expense). so if you have "100" in period 1, and no data in period 2, such that the derived value YTD for period 2 is "0", then you must include calculated values in the extract and you should see "0" for period 2. However, I don't believe HFM will extract "0" for period 3 - instead it will be blank/missing.
In general it could be very dangerous to force HFM to give zeros where there is no data.

Running report from command line with multiple value for same parameter

Hey,
I know how to run a report from the command line specifying parameters values each time but I was wondering if someone could tell me how I would go about running the same report multiple times in a batch program but specifying a list of values to pass to a parameter each time.
So for example if a parameter was 'School Number', how could I run a report in a batch program that would pass a school number to the report as a parameter using a list of school numbers generated for a sql statement or something. So if I had 300 school numbers in my list then I would get 300 different reports when the batch program finished.
This leads me to another question. How can I dynamically change the name of the report generated by the batch to use the school number value passed in, so for example if the value 3 was passed in the name would be something like School 3.pdf, if 4 was passed in the name would be School 4.pdf....etc
Any help on this?
Thanks
