Discoverer Migration issue - Calculation item changes

Hi All,
In the development environment, I made some changes to the Calculation item in the existing Discoverer Workbook. It works in fine in DEV. But when I try to migrate (overwriting the existing workbook) it to ST environment (by opening it in Discoverer Desktop, and saving it to the Database) , it throws the below error
'Inconsistent or invalid data types used in arithmetic operation.'
Attempt to open workbook failed'
I have also tried by exporting/importing thru Admin, but while opening in the Desktop it again throws the same error.
When I am undo the changes(one by one) what I did to the calculation item, it is still throwing the same error, even when I come to a point that the formula for the calculation item is same as before.
But when I am trying to save back the last working copy of the workbook into ST environment, it works fine.
It looks like the environment issue/tool issue(Discoverer Desktop).
We are in Discoverer 10g. Please let me know if any of you faced this problem and any suggestions to overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Gowri.

Hi Gowri,
Have you compared the item format between DEV & ST? Are they the same?
Without seeing your actual calculation, I can only guess that you may try adding "TO_NUMBER" in front of the field that is causing issues.
That has helped me in the past.
Thanks,
Janet

Discoverer migration issue

Hi All,
When I migrate discoverer 10g to other server, some discoverer reports of GL,AP,AR didn't run and return no data, I checked this is why these discoverer reports no privilege get data. but if i migrate discoverer to other direcotry in same server, these discoverer report run normal, So, i think of these discoverer reports bind discoverer server name. Do anyone help me?
Thank
tom

Hi,
It sounds like you are using an Apps mode EUL and the privileges in the EUL are not being migrated to the new EUL. This could be because although the users and responsibilities in the two systems have the same names, the internal keys (user_id and responsibility_id) in the FND tables are different in the two systems. It is these internal keys that are used within the EUL to determine the privileges. Therefore when you migrate the report the privileges refer to the old internal keys which do not exist on the new system.
You should ensure that the EUL timestamp (held in EUL5_VERSIONS.VER_EUL_TIMESTAMP) is different so that Discoverer knows that the report for created on a different system.

Calculated Item in Pivot failed to be entered

Hello There, I'm sorry that I ask again, but I haven't found an answer to the following issue:
Calculated Item in Pivot is not apearing in Chart
While trying to add a calculated item to a Pivot table to display the growth, we receive the error: the semantics of the formula entered are not valid
The formula we've tried to enter was : 100*($1-$2) / $2
entering $1/$2 works fine....
I'm sure it's possible, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for any reply,
Roni.

No good question.
Personally, I don't have found the reason so I use the table view.
If you calculate the growth, I assume it's by time.
You can them :
* implement the time series function of OBI :
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_period_to_period_ago_todate
* or do pivot in the table view
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_transformation_table_to_pivot
Then you can create a formula column :
(column1-column2) / column2Success

Need Urgent Help on Calculation items issue In Discoverer Plus

Dear Discoverer Experts,
I would need help on the below scenario:
A
147644.08
147644.08
Maximum: 147,644.08
B
142494.65
5149.43
Sum: 147,644.08
C
5149.43
142494.65
0
Here A, B, C are columns and C column is Calculated Item(A-B) and Maximum and Sum are Totals items, everything working fine.
The intent is that I would need the difference between totals items I mean Maximum and Sum , i.e Maximum-Sum (147,644.08 - 147,644.08) =0(in this case), but I am not able to get it, can anyone help me on this that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Tamir for your response, i am getting ZERO
But when i create new calculation item for examle TEST with calculation MAX(A) over () - SUM(B) over ()
then i am getting new column next to C with name TEST and with two rows of data with 0 (Zero)
like this
TEST
0.00
0.00
why am getting two rows of data, and that too can't we get this ZERO under C column at the same Row as MAX and SUM
(Or)
if not possible then after adding coumn TEST next to C column can we get ZERO in the row as MAX and SUM
either way would be fine, can any one hlep on this issue.
Thank you

Issue with PO change output - Service line items

Hi All,
This is issue with PO change output. We have PO with line item 10, 20 and item 10 has 4 service line items. PO is approved and initial print out is taken.
Some one goes and makes changes to 1st service line items of PO line item 10.
A change output gets triggered. When this output is printed, it prints line item 10 details. This is standard functionality as this item is changed. But its printing all the service line items for this PO line item. Consider a case where there are 3000 service lines for a PO item. If I add 1 service item to this PO line item, the change form prints 3001 services for that line item. There were no changes done to first 3000 service line items.
Currently PO change form takes care of changes at PO line item but it does not take care of changes at service line item level.
Is there any setting that needs to be done for this so that it only considers the changes at Service line item level also.
Regards,
Shahu

If you're using a standard form, send a message to SAP. Otherwise make a change in the form.

PO item change issue

Hi all,
We went live on SAP last month. We are facing below issue in production -
IDOC is not getting triggered for output type when a PO is changed. we want to replicate the same issue in development system.
When I looked into production PO changes, I found that PO item is changed for ' Purchasing Document Item Change Date'.
When I see the item changes, it shows:
short text - Purchasing Document Item Change Date
Action - changed,
new value - 11/05/2010 (this is the date when PO is changed)
old value - 11/02/2010 (this is the date when PO is created)
Name - XXX_BATCH
Change doc object - EINKBELEG
table name - EKPO
field - AEDAT
Can anybody help me understand what is this change all about? and how can I replicate this issue in development system ?
Regards,
Pat.

How to change layout of new calculated item values?

Hi,
Is there a way on how to change colours or add a percentage symbol on the values of a calculated items?
I do not want to change the source measures in the criteria area I used to get the calculated items results.
Any idea?
Regards
Giuliano

I solved this by using an other approach.
Created a report and filtered the first resolts by certain value. Added a label.
Used combine with similar request and filtered again.
Created so many combines for the number of results I need to filters
In result columns renamed the label with a description which is a common denominator for all the labels
In pivot table, moved the main label to Rows and appled the sum
the reults is below

Exchange 2007 to 2013 Migration issues. Prompt for credentials, Public Folders inaccessible, Apps not working

Exchange 2013 Migration issues
I have three issues and decided to list them here. Please pick and choose to assist. Thanks in advance.
Environment:
Mixed 2007 SP3 R12 and 2013 CU3. 2007 Environment was webmail.domain.com. I installed new Exchange 2013 (1 CAS, 1 Mailbox) according to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805032(v=exchg.150).aspx. Exchange 2007 is now legacy.domain.com and Exchange 2013 CAS is webmail.domain.com.
Machine 1: Windows 8.1, not domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere external. Outlook 2013
Machine 2: Windows 7, domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere internal. Outlook 2010 SP2
I have migrated 1 user so far to Exchange 2013. This user was a Domain Admin. I have removed that membership. I checked the box to inherit permissions of the security of the object and reset the AdminCount attribute in ADSIedit to 0 and verified this replicated
to all domain controllers. ( I originally thought this to be the issue with it prompting for the password. )
Here is a Get-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet...

ISSUE 1
Issue: On Machine 1 (reference above) Windows Security prompt that says "Connecting to
[email protected]". Almost always prompts when Outlook is first opened. Afterwards (if it goes away) seemingly random on when it asks for it. I put in the credentials (absolutely correct) and it fails and prompts again.
I always check the box for it to save the password. To get rid of it, I click the Cancel button at which Outlook reports "NEED PASSWORD", but still acts fine sending and receiving emails. Eventually the "NEED PASSWORD" sometimes changes
to say "CONNECTED", but it works regardless.
No issues on Machine 2 so I don't know where the problem might be as there are a lot of variables in play here.
ISSUE 2
Migrated user is unable to open Public folders from Exchange 2007.
Cannot expan the folder. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance. (/o=...).
This error occurs on Machine 1, Machine 2 and from OWA, same error each time.
ISSUE 3
Apps. Installed by default are 4 apps (Bing Maps, Suggested Meetings, Unsubscribe, Action Items). I have made sure the apps are enabled in OWA and they show up in mail items on both Machine 1 (Outlook 2013) and OWA. They do not show up in Machine 2 (Outlook
2010). I'm assuming that isn't supported.
In OWA, when I go to the installed apps listing it shows all of the apps but has a broken link on the image describing the app.
When I click the app in either Outlook 2013 or in OWA, I get "APP ERROR, Sorry we can't load the app. Please make sure you have network and/or internet connectivity. Click "Retry" once you're back online.
Current workaround is just disabling them through OWA.

Avoiding miscalculation of calculated item in query mode

Hi:
Imagine an invoice data entry system. 2 Blocks... the master (orders) and the detail (order_products). In the master you have the customer info and all that usual data... the details are the lines of products that this customer bought (quantity, price, etc) .
Now imagine that I have calculated items that do the sum of the values from the lines and that are saved in the totals of the master block. And these calculations work very well...
UPS... no they don't!
Now imagine an order with 5 lines of products. Now imagine that you open that order and you go to the detail block and query that block and execute the query and the query only returs one or two lines for instance. The calculated items will change it value for the sum of the prices of these only 2 lines... but the order has 3 more products... and imagine that you click save... now the order totals are miscalculated...
My question... HOW Can I avoid this? It's crucial!!!
Best Regards
Joao Oliveira

Hi gerd :
May a pre-commit-trigger selects the values from the database including the updated rows in the form?
These computations are very very difficult. The values of the master table depends on the detail tables and the opposite is also true. By implementing triggers it will not work cause at the time the trigger fires in the master table the values from the detail table are not yet updated. This is a tricky issue...
If I could avoid querying clauses in the detail block and avoid for instance the Clear_Record key... it would solve part of my problems.

Than it works for my case.
Hope this helps.

IPhoto 11 Migration Issue: Unique Circumstance (Boot Drive Crash)

Hello good folk,
I have a migration issue with iPhoto 11 due to a boot drive crash.
The issue: I have imported my library database file and all of my 25,000 photos into a clean install of iPhoto 11. All of the events are imported, but all of the photos appear in the very first event. All of the other events are populated with the correct number of photos, but none of the actual photos have been linked.
I know all about holding down option-click and option-command-click to rebuild libraries, directories, etc., as I have read about in multiple posts. But many tries haven't gotten me to success.
Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?
Here are the specifics of the chain of events, in case it helps [sorry for all the details, but it might help]:
1. Was running iPhoto 09 in 10.5.8, my boot drive bit the dust.
2. I was able to save most of my data from the drive. Due to corrupt files, I was forced to back up unconventionally: instead of saving the entire library, which I could not do, I unpacked the iPhoto library and, from the Originals folder, I copied over entire year folders (2002, 2003, etc.) onto a non-boot drive. This worked.
3. I then installed the new boot HD and installed 10.6.X.
4. I installed fresh copy of iPhoto 11 and updated the software.
5. In iPhoto 11, I threw away the database and replaced with the recovered database from the old boot drive.
6. I copied all of the year photo folders (from the "Originals" folder on the manual backup disk) wholesale into the "Masters" folder of the new iPhoto 11 install.
7. [I could not use Migration Assistant to do this because Migration Assistant, for some reason, will not migrate from a non-boot drive that's installed internally on my Mac Pro.]
8. I option-command-clicked open iPhoto and selected:
-- Repair iPhoto Library Database
-- Rebuild small thumbnails
-- Rebuild all thumbnails
-- Examine/repair permissions.
9. I did this twice. The first time, the events from the database installed correctly, but the photos did not show up. The second time, after a very long time rebuilding the thumbnails, all 25,000 photos showed up, but in the very first event. All of the other events remain blank.
10. I then did an option-click, and chose to open the main library. I did that, but nothing changed.
11. Perhaps interestingly, when I option-click, it says that my manual backup from my internal drive -- where I did my emergency backup -- remains as the "default." The main iPhoto library is not the default.
12. That's where I am now. I really don't want to have to install manually without the data, when all of the events imported fine, and all of the photos are there, but in the wrong event.
Sorry for the long-windedness. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
John

I have imported my library database file and all of my 25,000 photos into a clean install of iPhoto 11. All of the events are imported, but all of the photos appear in the very first event. All of the other events are populated with the correct number of photos, but none of the actual photos have been linked.
You can not "Import" an old iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - it is not the way it works - if your old iPhoto library is available you simply place it in the pictures folder and launch iPhoto - no importing involved
you can not piece together an iPhoto library - which is why having a backup up is critical to avoid lost data
If your iPhoto library is not available as a single entity then you will have to start over and create a new library and import the photos into it losing all edits, metadata changes, etc
And if the future remember to always backup soon and often -it is the only way to avoid data loss due to failures - hardware, software and/or human

Wrong value with calculated item in pivot table

I have a report with 4 columns:
First Column are Department Dimension
Second Column is Actual value
Third Column is Previous value
Four Column is: ((Actual Value-Previous Value)/Previous Value))*100 that called Var
Then I do a pivot table and I have new calculated item: Department1/Department2 and I have wrong value in four column:
Department----------------------------------Actual-------Previous------Var
Dept1------------------------------------------18503--------16308--------13,5
Dept2-------------------------------------------3758---------3518----------6,8
(Calculated Item: Dept1/Dept2)--------4,92---------4,64------------*2* <---- This value is wrong...and it has to be: 6,03
Is possible to get the correct value???
Thank you very much!

Data format in pivot table calculated item

Hi All,
I've got a pivot table with a dimension on rows and a dimension on columns and a measure. I have a "new calculated item" based on the dimension on the columns which does the following: ( ($2-$1) / ($1) ) *100
I want this calculated item shown as a percentage like 1,2% but the measure must stay a whole number like 1234 (no decimal places or percentage symbols) any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

the column results must remain in the same format, but the calculated item must be in the format %9.99 (to see the percentage change)
any other suggestions?

Grand total on a calculated item

Hi,
I have a crosstab report in discoverer plus 10g. I need to show total at the bottom for two calculated columns, report looks something like below
     COMPANY     Beginning Bal     Ending Bal     Net Amount
     1457     $35,467.90      $39,875.87      $359
     -     -     -     $453
     -     -     -     $564
     -     -     -     $347
     -     -     -     $234
     1568     $65,893.56      $76,594.87      $674
     -     -     -     $564
     -     -     -     $536
     -     -     -     $538

     -     -     -     $392
Grand Total
Net amount is a datapoint, but the beginning balance and ending balance are the calculated items in the report. is it possible to show the total for these calculated items? Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks,
Nivas.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried with cell sum but it is not displaying any total.
beginning balance is a calculated item which is not based on any aggregated function
beginning balance =
CASE WHEN "ROW NUM" = "Max Row Num" THEN "worksheet".Beg Bal ELSE TO_NUMBER('') END
same is the calculation for ending balance.
I have account, company, beg bal, end bal, net amount to be displayed in the report.
when I do cell sum by company every thing is fine, i get the totals displayed, but when i try with account then no totals are displayed in the report.
please let me know if I am missing some thing.
Thanks,
Nivas.
