Hierarchy display Sort Order setting "As in hierarchy" in BEx not working.

Hi Team,
We are using SAP BW 7.0
In a Query the property for Sort Oder of Hierarchy is set as "As in the hierarchy" for WBS_ELEMT.
Example data as per R3:
HierarchyID   hierarchyDescription
4       Four
2       Two
1       One
3       Three
5       Five
The setting of sort order by"KEY" with "Ascending" is working fine.
The setting of sort order by"KEY" with "Descending" is working fine.
The setting of sort order by"Description" with "Ascending" is working fine.
The setting of sort order by"Description" with "Descending" is working fine.
BUT the setting of sort order by "As in the hierarchy" is not effected.
In other words, i am able to set it and save & run. But the result does not have the effect. It holds the previous setting.
Is there any pre-requisite to have this setting.
Please help.
Regards
BaaRaa.

HI Baa Raa,
This should work, have you tested this on the latest patching by upgrading one machine to :
gui patch 18 for gui 7.10
frontend patch 12.01 for 7x tools and gui 7.10
and
frontend patch 9 for 3x tools and gui 7.10
best regards
Orla.

my problem is this:-
At the moment calls are leaving on the first available channel of my h323 voice gateway PRI, I can apply this command to the interface fine but it makes no difference the b cannels are always being picked on a first come first served basis . I have also tried combination "isdn bchan-number-order decending" and "isdn bchan-number-order descending round-robin" but it makes no difference , the first b channel is always selected .
Any ideas , if you think its a bug can u identify the bug id as I cannot find it .

Hello
I can see that you use ascending , that why you hit 1st channel.You have to choose one of these commands ascending or descending
I have a question here , for your incoming calls which channel hits ?.FYI isdn bchan-number-order descending is enable by default , so if you need to change you have to type ascending. Can you just share incoming calls which channel hits?.This is because before you define your outgoing calls , you have to check your service provider channel used, and this to avoid error channel is not available.
Command
Router(config-if)# isdn bchan-number-order {ascending | descending}
Purpose
Enables B channel selection for outgoing calls on a PRI interface (optional).
Thanks

Sort Order as per HFM Hierarchy

Hi,
I am in a situation, where I need to generate/export a hierarchy from DRM, ensuring members are in the exact order as they are in the upstream HFM application.
Is there a way to generate a sort order, or assign the sort order property values of members after loading them to the hierarchy.
Meaning, I want to manually change the order of the members in the hierarchy, and then have the sort order property take values based on the order of the member in the hierarchy.
Can anyone tell me how i can achieve this, or even create a derived sort order property which can employ such a logic?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Anindyo

Go to hierarchy properties for which you want node to have sort order.
give the property value for StandardHierSort as SortOrder.
Now run the automator to change the property SortOrder for each nodes.
You can set value as 1 for nodes you want first in extract then 2,3, so on.
Instead of running automator for each node, you can also create a derived property of type sort and use that in hier level property
Hope this helps
Thanks

Hierarchy table sort order no longer required in 11.1.1.3?

Hi guys,
I am working on loading Dimensions through EPMA interface tables. Hyperion version 11.1.1.3. The sort order for the records was not in line with the hierarchy. Still the dimension got loaded without any errors. I remember in the older versions we would have to have the records in the hierarchy table in the right order for the metadata to get loaded properly.
Just wanted to confirm if this is a 11.1.13 version enhancement and not something that I am missing.
Thanks.

Hi Luc,
I have checked our bug DB, but couldn't find any bug that would explain a change in behavior of processDatabaseChangeNotification() in 11.1.1.3
On the contrary, we have been working on issues related to NPE during its execution recently (fix will be included in JDev 11.1.1.4.0).
Could you create a Service Request in "My Oracle Support" and upload your sample ?
We will have a look.

Read Only Display of Radio group and Text area with counter not working

Hello,
I am using Apex 3.2, with 10g for the database
I have this form, with fields that will set to read only when status = 'closed'
All of the fields display as read only except for 2. I cannot figure out why this is not working correctly.
1st field is Issues that is a text area with character counter, with a sql query behind it, that is set to null unless the query is pulling in the data.
2nd field is Status which is a radio group that will not display as read only when status = 'closed'
I have other fields on the form with the same format and they change to read only when the status = 'closed', I have even copied the pl/sql expression from one field to these fields and it still doesn't work correctly. I have also tried javascript for an on load event, which works, but once I click on the save button, it disables all of the page items, which works correctly, but I purposely forget to enter information, to make sure the validations are firing correctly, which it does, but the script disables everything, not allowing me to correct the errors. The javascript is firing on the on page load event.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Dung,
That API seems to have a bug, it returns true/false/null, so you could use 'return not nvl(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name => 'APP Admin'),false)' to get a false value.
Unfortunately there's another problem: using the read-only attributes for checkbox or radiogroup item makes them hidden. My suggestion would be to create another item that has disabled="disabled" in the HTML Form Element attribute in the item definition and display that item or the non-disabled item alternately, using conditions based on the current_user_in_group logic.

Hi Ashish
Couple of things. You mention you are using CR 10, but I am not sure if this is the version of CR that bundled with VS 2005 (CR 10.2), or a stand-alone version of CR. So. Assuming that this is CR 10.2, make sure you apply SP 1:
Crystal Reports for VS 2005 and VS 2008 Updates & Runtime Downloads
Then see KBA 1204895 - Selection formula is ignored when using Crystal Reports 2008 and VS .NET 2005
Finally, you may want to consider using the code below:
//I loop through all the sections looking for subreports and set the log on info, same as the main report:
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section crSection in crSections)
    crReportObjects = crSection.ReportObjects;
    //loop through all the report objects to find all the subreports
    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject crReportObject in crReportObjects)
        if (crReportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
            //you will need to typecast the reportobject to a subreport object once you find it
            crSubreportObject = (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject)crReportObject;
            string mysubname = crSubreportObject.SubreportName.ToString();
            //open the subreport object
            crSubreportDocument = crSubreportObject.OpenSubreport(crSubreportObject.SubreportName);
            //set the database and tables objects to work with the subreport
            crDatabase = crSubreportDocument.Database;
            crTables = crDatabase.Tables;
            tableIndex = 0;
            bool SecureDB;
            //loop through all the tables in the subreport and set up the connection info and apply it to the tables
            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table crTable in crTables)
                    crConnectioninfo.UserID = "sa";
                    crConnectioninfo.Password = "PW";
                    crConnectioninfo.DatabaseName = "QTYLTD";
                    crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
                    crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectioninfo;
                    crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
crSubreportDocument.RecordSelectionFormula = <selection formula>

Setting Out Of Office from Outlook not working with exchange 2010

Hi
We have an exchange 2010 server with 2 load balanced CAS server and Mailbox servers in a DAG. We have a few domain
names accepted (will call it firstdomain.com and seconddomain.com) but only one is in certificate (firstdomain.com).
The issue is - when user with default email @seconddomain.com try to set “Out Of Office” from outlook (2010 with all service
packs and updates) he is getting “ Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later” where
setting it from webmail works fine and setting it from outlook for users with @firstdomain.com reply address works fine.
we have both internal and external urls for all virtual directories set to external
host address (https://mail.firstdomain.com
  etc). All the users are on intranet with local ip subnets (sites connected via vpns ), all the routing is in place and DNS points to correct ip addresses.
Autodiscover works fine (tested in outlook ) and giving correct address for OOF link
( https://mail.firstdomain.com/ews/exchange.asmx)
wich opens fine if entered into address bar in IE so its NOT AN AUTODISCOVER issue .
I enabled logging in outlook and thats what I am getting in there:

is - how can I check/monitor setting OOF on server side (log files etc)?

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that Outlook client with second domain name cannot use OOF setting and get an error “Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable.” However OWA works fine.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I want to double confirm whether all account or some special user experience this question.
Would you please try to reconfigure Outlook profile in other Computer, Outlook version and return the results?
If this issue only appeared on Outlook 2010, please refer to below link to troubleshooting:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2596516?wa=wsignin1.0
Please try to run ExBPA to test OOF to get more details about this question. Additional, I find a similar thread about your question, for your reference:

How to set my default application...not working

My company has nearly all adobe applications installed from PageMaker 6.5 through InDesign 5.5. We use them all frequently. I'm trying to set my defaults on the Mac Pros and it is not working.
Specs if Needed:
OSX 10.6.8
Model Identifier:          MacPro5,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          4
Memory:          6 GB
Boot ROM Version:          MP51.007F.B01
+BootCamp dual boot Windows 7
We proof out all files in the version that it comes to us. Our customers are on different versions than the most current, and it's driving us crazy that we can't set the defaults for
each Adobe application. For Instance,
We want for Defaults:
Photoshop = CS4
InDesign = CS4
Illustrator = CS5
etc.
The Finder will not allow us to make the change to open all of a certain file type in the version we want by default. We also use a third party application that allows us to "double
click" InDesign files and open them in the correct version. This saves valuable navigation time and because of the OS's problem with using the correct icons, it also saves us time
dealing with the "Untitled" document when we accidentally convert by opening in the wrong application by mistake. We have gone through Onyx utilities and massive permissions
troubleshooting to no avail. Does anyone know how to set the default for ALL files of a type for Adobe Apps? This has been thoroughly tested and is not working on 10 plus
machines, and only effects Adobe apps.
Any Ideas?

I think you miss understand the question. There is a problem with OSX 10.6 and Adobe Apps. 10.5 ok, not sure about 10.7 because of all of the other Adobe problems we downgraded the test machine that we used for the upgrade. There is no way that I have found to make the files “Double-Clickable” through assigning a default application of files with Adobe extensions. We already have an app. that we use and it worked fine until 10.6. I can’t just approve a division-wide purchase of software for a bug that may be solvable by other means (by the way supposed cost of the licensing Soxy is deceiving at $20. Not for us. For companies it’s $20 per platform & also for each time Adobe updates. When we swap out hardware, we have to pay $40 again . Their pricing is absurd). $40 x a couple hundred machines every 18 months or so, uugh! The ten or so I’m working with are just the ones in my immediate department.
I know you have good intentions with your reply and I appreciate it, however I’m looking to solve the problem, not put a band-aid on it. If the problem is by design so Rorohiko can hold companies hostage, then I guess we’ll just have to deal with the few extra clicks it takes to figure out which version we’re in need of, and dragging to the launch bar.
Thanks very much for your reply,
Seth

Programatically set where clause or view criteria not working in managed bean

I get a view using finditerator then then apply setwhere or view criteria but it does not filter the original rows. code is as follows
DCIteratorBinding dcIter3 =
ADFUtils.findIterator("PlanColorsIterator");
ViewObject cvo = dcIter3.getViewObject();
cvo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("Plno","4000"); // not working
   /*   // not working
cvo.applyViewCriteria(cvo.getViewCriteriaManager().getViewCriteria("PlanColorsCriteria"));
cvo.ensureVariableManager().setVariableValue("Plno", "4000");
cvo.executeQuery();
/* not working
cvo.setWhereClause("plan_no = :ThePlanType");
cvo.defineNamedWhereClauseParam("ThePlanType", null, null);
cvo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("ThePlanType", "4000");
cvo.executeQuery();

thanks for reply.
Jdeveloper version is 11.1.1.4.0.
Actually the vo on which I am trying to set set where is used as source to act as cursor to get values from filtered rows using set where and copy the this cursor values to another target vo. I am not showing these source values just getting values.
DCIteratorBinding dcIter2 =
ADFUtils.findIterator("PlotDtl2Iterator");
ViewObject dvo = dcIter2.getViewObject();
// colors to copy
DCIteratorBinding dcIter3 =
ADFUtils.findIterator("PlanColorsIterator");
ViewObject cvo = dcIter3.getViewObject();
cvo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("Plno","4000");
cvo.applyViewCriteria(cvo.getViewCriteriaManager().getViewCriteria("PlanColorsCriteria"));
cvo.ensureVariableManager().setVariableValue("Plno", "4000");
cvo.executeQuery();
cvo.setWhereClause("plan_no = :ThePlanType");
cvo.defineNamedWhereClauseParam("ThePlanType", null, null);
cvo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("ThePlanType", "4000");
cvo.executeQuery();
int totalCount=cvo.getRowCount();
cvo.setRangeSize(totalCount);
Row[] rArray=cvo.getAllRowsInRange();
for (Row r:rArray){
NameValuePairs nvp = new NameValuePairs();

Set Stroke weight for a frame not working in CS4.

Hi All,
How to set Stroke weight for a frame.
I tried using CreateStrokeWeightCommand of IGraphicAttributeUtils, but its not working in CS4.
Regards,
Jasmine
Message was edited by: Jasmine_Shaikh

Hi All,
CreateStrokeWeightCommand of IGraphicAttributeUtils works only when if the frame has some stroke weight already applied to it.
So do i need to set something else before using CreateStrokeWeightCommand to make it work programatically on a frame with no stroke weight.

Setting Column to Trim of Itself - Not Working

Hello,
I'm trying to update a column in a table using the following code:
UPDATE pweb.pweb_tos
SET tos_code = TRIM(tos_code);For some reason it is not working. When I select the column using the TRIM function it does trim the white space, but the update is not working.
By the way - I did do a dump(tos_code) of the column and verified that it is in fact white space at the end.
Any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks!

SET tos_code = TRIM(tos_code);For some reason it is not working. When I select the column using the TRIM function it does trim the white space, but the update is not working.
By the way - I did do a dump(tos_code) of the column and verified that it is in fact white space at the end.
Any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks!
ChristineTRIM (tos_code) (with only 1 arguement) will only remove space characters, that is, ASCII code 32. If the string begins or ends with some
other kind of whitespace (e.g. linefeed), then that end will not be trimmed. You may have to specify multiple characters to TRIM.
Post the output you get from DUMP.

"Set the Desktop Picture" command does not work in certain instances

I've decided to take a try at using automator. Anyways I've created a very simple workflow.
Get Specified Finder Items (points to an image file)
Set the Desktop Picture
Now this usually works when the desktop is set statically to a specified image. But when I set the desktop to change the picture periodically, the automator action fails to change the picture to the specified image, when executed.
Is this a bug? Is there any workaround for this?

Your workflow actually is changing the static desktop picture, it's merely failing to then switch off the "Change picture" feature.
The "Change picture" feature has a somewhat misleading name in that it's not actually changing your static desktop picture at all. Your static desktop picture remains in place as a new dynamic picture layer is continually drawn and redrawn directly on top of it.
I don't see any way of testing for or turning off the desktop slideshow automatically, short of writing a GUI AppleScript that opens System Preferences and clicks through to the relevant toggle setting. If you file feedback with Apple they might take a look at it.

Set Datasource location in Crystal XI not working

I have what seems to be a common problem with the setting of a datasource in Crystal XI designer.
I am converting my Crystal 8.5 reports to crystal XI.
The connection I am using is an OLE DB(ADO) connection to SQL Server 2005.
When I try to change the Datasource from a test database to a production database, absolutely nothing happens.
The data displayed on the report is the data from the database from which the report was designed.
I have scoured the internet and have found numerous complaints about this issue.
The only semi-acceptable solution I have found is that you have to go into the properties of each table on the report (including subreports) and change the Overridden Qualified Table Name by typing in the name of the table.
Is this the only solution?
I have over 300 reports. Many with subreports.
How archaic is this?
Is there at least some sort of conversion program available that would help me with my existing reports.
I have no problems during runtime. It is only the designer with which I am having an issue.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Teri,
Thanks for the input. I thought I would try this out in the simplest way possible.
The results are a little bizaar but I think they may be helpful in finding a solution.
I simply cannot understand how any one has been able to get this to work as I have tested this on various PCs using different crystal version and service pack combinations. Both crystal 10 and X1. XP and Windows 7. Nothing has worked.
This is what I did.
Create 3 databases, each with 1 table (COMPANY) and 1 Column (COMPANY_NAME).
First database (LIVE_DB) on 'Server 1' with COMPANY_NAME = 'LIVE COMPANY S1'
Second database (TEST_DB) on 'Server 1' with COMPANY_NAME = 'TEST COMPANY S1'
Third database (TEST_DB) on 'Server 2' with COMPANY_NAME = 'TEST COMPANY S2'
TEST #1 - USING ODBC (RDO) *********
Setup 3 Datasources using 'Data Sources (ODBC)' in Administrative Tools.
LIVE_DB_S1 - Points to Database LIVE_DB on Server 1
TEST_DB_S1 - Points to Database TEST_DB on Server 1
TEST_DB_S2 - Points to Database TEST_DB on Server 2
Create report with 'Company Name' using DataSource LIVE_DB_S1
Report name correctly shows 'LIVE COMPANY S1'
Change data source to TEST_DB_S2
Error occurs: Database Connection Error: '42S02:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Driver][SQL Server] Invalid object name 'LIVE_DB.dbo.COMPANY'.[Database Vendor Code: 208]
Crystal appears to be looking for the Database 'LIVE_DB' on server 2 and it does not exist.
Changed the datasource at the table level
Reran report - Report name correctly shows 'TEST COMPANY S2'
Changed Datasource back to LIVE_DB_S1
Reran report - Report name incorrectly shows 'TEST COMPANY S1'
Crystal appears to look for the Database TEST_DB on Server 1 and finds it and therefore displays the wrong Company Name.
Scrap this report close crystal and start from scratch.
Create report with 'Company Name' using DataSource TEST_DB_S1
Report name correctly shows 'TEST COMPANY S1'
Change data source to TEST_DB_S2
Report name correctly shows 'TEST COMPANY S2'
Change data source to LIVE_DB_S1
Report name incorrectly shows 'TEST COMPANY S1'
Crystal seems to have changed the server but not the database.
TEST #2 - USING OLE DB (ADO) *********
Setup 3 Datasources usong OLE DB after opening Crystal.
Since the name of an OLE DB connection is the SERVER, for the purposes of this example let's pretend that each connection has a name the same as above.
LIVE_DB_S1 - Points to Database LIVE_DB on Server 1
TEST_DB_S1 - Points to Database TEST_DB on Server 1
TEST_DB_S2 - Points to Database TEST_DB on Server 2
Create report with 'Company Name' using DataSource LIVE_DB_S1
Report name correctly shows 'LIVE COMPANY S1'
Change data source to TEST_DB_S2
Report name correctly shows 'TEST COMPANY S2'
Crystal correcly switched the Server and the Database.
Changed Datasource back to LIVE_DB_S1
Reran report - Report name incorrectly shows 'TEST COMPANY S1'
Crystal appears to look for the Database TEST_DB on Server 1 and finds it and therefore displays the wrong Company Name.
Scrapped this report and headed to the bar for a shot of SANITY.

How to I stop pages from redirecting, whent he advanced setting that should prevent it does NOT work?

Here is the situation. I have the advanced setting checked to warn me when a sit tries to redirect or reload a page, which is supposed to prevent it from happening. However, it isn't working. A page tried to redirect, and I saw the little banner that said Firefox prevented it, then it happened again immediately, with the same banner, and then the page went ahead and redirected, and I did NOT click to allow it. It was as though the page redirect was tried three times, stopped two, then allowed. There has to be some way to stop this entirely. To be clear, I already have it checked under Advanced/General to "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page." It simply isn't stopping the redirect. Yes, I have antivirus protection, and yes, it works. The page that s reloading is a Sims 3 store page. It's supposed to be a video, on the store site, to watch for points. Most re just that, but today some have sown up that, instead of playing a video, it redirects to some other site. One was a health site, with no video to even view! cookies galore, though, which have now been blocked.
Any help appreciated in preventing this from happening in the future!

All good ideas in general, but nothing new installed that I didn't want, and no unknown or new add-ons, either. Great advice, and nicely detailed, though, which should help others that might have those things causing problems. I have seen that sort, when another family member wasn't careful and had an annoying toolbar installed, that was practically taking over when they were online. Took a bt of doing to get that one out; uninstall was the start, but had to clear out some "stray" registry entries as well.
I did notice that if I do not click to close the little pop up banner, it doesn't redirect. Weird, but it worked. I don't know why closing the message without telling it to allow would have that effect, but it did. Also blocked ll the blasted cookies that were showing up, which is something I track, anyway. I can't stand having this or that site track, even if settings are to accept only from sites I visit. Google is BAD about that sort of thing, and some of the social media sites.
Appreciate the tips, in any case.

I turned auto login off and set a password. It does not work. I tried using the install disc and C key a few times but no success. Now the install disc does not even activate with the C key. Help

I turned ato login off. Set a password. On login it failed. Perhaps I misstyped when setting up. I used the instaldisc to reset the password but after a few attempts It failed. Was it a mistake to select the hard drive after resetting the password. I would like to try the alternative but now the C-key does not even let the install disc open, it goes directly to the name and password screen. I need Help

Keunepete,
When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?
