ODI: Can I create join link between the source Files?

I have a few flat files that has foreign key relationships to each other, and I put them as source files, and try to import data to Essbase from them. and I got the error message: The source data server has no join capacilities. But if I just put all of the informations inside one flat file, the transferring is successful. It seems I cannot put "joins" on the source flat files. Please advise,thanks!

Hi,
You can join tables in your source area, even if they are flat files.
The joins will be done in a staging area, depending on the size of the files and the location of the agent you are running it can define where you want the staging area to be.
If the files are small and the joins are not complex then it can be done using the memory engine, otherwise in most circumstances I would use the power of a relational engine such as Oracle/SQL server as the staging area.
Make sure you use a staging area for the interface or you will get the error messages, also on the joins make sure they are done in the staging area, there will be an option when you highlight the join

Can I create multiple links to the same file without duplicating file?

does anyone know if it is possible to create multiple links to the same file using iWeb without the program automatically making multiple copies of that file in the published output? It seems that one file is created for each link.
Thanks!

Hi Franz,
have a look at the second method on this page
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Downloads.html
see if you understand how it works (if you don't, please ask me)

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?
The CHM output (accreditation.chm) is stored in a parent directory, and the webhelp output (index.htm) is stored in a child directory.

Open the usual Link dialog and enter the relative path from where the CHM will be installed to where the webhelp will be installed.

Hi , my problem is that i can only create absolute links to other pdf-files in a main pdf-file. how can i switch to or create relative links. Thanks for help!

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab

It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and - unbelievable - the pdf format is not supported??!
Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!

PDF is media. It is not a web document. Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers. Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window. On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish. See example: http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/

OWB 10g -- Can't Create Database Links for Data Source and Target

We installed OWB 10g server components on a Unix box running Oracle 10g (R2) database. The Designer Repository is in one instance. The Runtime Repository and the Target are in another instance. The OWB client component was installed on Windows XP. We create a data source module and a target module in OWB. The data source is on another Unix box running Oracle 9i (R2) database. We try to create database links for data source module and target module, respective. But when we created and tested the DB links, the DB links were failed.
For the database link of data source, we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
For the database link of target , we got the following error message:
Testing...
Failed.
API2215: Cannot create database link. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and the details on how to reproduce it.
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: oracle.wh.ui.integrator.common.RepositoryUtils.
Method Name: createDBLink(String, String, String, String).
Method Name: -1.
Repository Error Message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
However, we could connect to the two databases (data source and target) using the OWBs utility SQL Plus.
Please help us to solve this problem. Thank you.

As I said prior the database link creation should work from within the OWB client (also in 10).
Regarding your issue when deploying, have you registered your target locations in the deployment manager and did you first deployed your target location's connector which points out to your source?
I myself had some problems with database link creations in the past and I can't remember exactly what they were but it had something to do with
- the use of abnormal characters in the database link name
- long domain name used in as names.default_domain in my sqlnet.ora file
What you can do is check the actual script created when deploying the database link so see if there's something strange and check if executing the created script manually works or not.

How can I create a link to download a file in Captivate?

So, in my Captivate file, I want people to be able to download an XML file to their machine. If I create a hyperlink to "open a file", then when a user clicks on it, captivate attempts to open the xml file in a browser window instead of downloading it. I can't figure out how to use the download attribute for an href in captivate and I'm not sure if javascript to do this would execute properfly. Anybody know the best way to accomplish a force download of a file from a captivate presentation (Captivate 6)?
TIA.

If you want to really do this so that it is consistent for all browsers, you'll need to implement this at the server level. I did this with the Dynamic PDF Export Widget. Typically, a PDF will be displayed in the browser, but I added the ability to download it instead. It does require a PHP file (or some other server side script). In the PHP file, you'll want to set the response header for Content-Disposition to "attachment"... that's the key.
The elbow grease part has to do with managing how the browser handles the link. You'll want the Captivate hyperlink to open a new window so that the student does not navigate away from your course in the current window. But since you are opening a PHP file, you can inject javascript into the document of the new window/tab to close itself. The download will still continue eventhough the window/tab was programmatically closed. However, most modern browsers will automatically close the window/tab for you when downloading a file. If you want to see an example of a PHP file that implements this, go ahead and download the trial version of the Dynamic PDF Export widget. You'll see the create.php file in the zip package.
http://captivatedev.com/2012/07/25/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-dynamic-pdf-export/
If you want to go simple as TLC Media Design suggested, just zip it and let your students unzip the xml file, or just rename the xml file with a .zip extension and tell them to rename the file back to .xml after downloading.

Can you create a playlist when the associated files are not present?

I want to let my friend create a playlist from songs in MY library, but from HIS computer, so I copied my Library.itl and Library.XML files to his PC to let him peruse what I have. Obviously this only lets hin VIEW the songs, NOT play them. Is there a way he can create a playlist that I can then move back to my library and put on my iPod?
I've tried dragging and dropping as well as right click>Add to Playlist, but neither method works when the files associated are not present.
Is it possible?

No. iTunes will only add media to a playlist if the media files are present.

[SOLVED] Creating src package when the source files must d/l manually

There's a program which requires to input some data before the GPL source can be downloaded.
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/cnet/download.html
When I put `source=('cnet-3.3.1.tgz')` in the PKGBUILD and put the archive in PKGBIULD's dir - it compiles and installs just fine.
However when creating a source file with `mkaurball` it puts the whole archive in the .src.tar.gz.
What do I do?
Last edited by axper (2014-06-28 12:11:58)

You should file a bug against pkgbuild-introspection , looks like mkaurball needs an extra check for archives in source array.
You could use makepkg --source for now, and upload the file that creates.
An alternative may be to edit the .src.tar.gz mkaurball created and delete the cnet*.tgz manually .
Not sure is editing .AURINFO is also needed .

How can i create a link in the context help from frontpanel elements like knobs and so on

i want to create on context sensitive online help and therefore need to know how i can place a hyperlink in the context help from labVIEW of a frontpanel element

lotto;
You can place your help file in LabVIEW help directory, which should be in \help. If you place your help file in that directory, then when you start LabVIEW, you can access your help from LabVIEW's help menu (there will be an extra entry with the name of your help file.)
To link your control or vi to this help file, open the front panel (or the panel where you edit the control) and open the VI setup. In the help path field write the following:
:\name.hlp
Where "name" in the name of your help file. in the "Help Tag" field you should enter the tag you already assigned to the topic in the help at design time. (I suggest the tag to be similar as the vi or control name.)
After all this, the next time you start LabVIEW,
you should be able to access the context help file to your control or vi by right-clicking on it and selecting "Online Help".
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be aware that you may loose files you locate in special directories in LabVIEW, like the help, because those directories might be overwritten when you upgrade your software. Another option can be to locate your help file in a directory other than LabVIEW's help. The steps are almost the same, except that you won't be able to access your help file from LabVIEW's help menu.

Problem In creating link between info source to DSO(Urgent)

Dear Experts,
I am facing an problem in creating an link between info source and DSO.My problem is: I am actually loading data from R/3 into two data sources 2lis_01_s951 and 2lis_01_s952 there is a need for me to calcualte revenue % i.e diving revenue by qty from different data sources so i created one Info Source for 2 data sources,So i am facing a problem in creating an link from Info Source to DSO.Is there any other way to solve this problem.
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
Shivu.

Shivu,
Im suggesting either of the following 2 solutions. Both of them require some abap programming.
A. Permanently store calculation result in DSO :
A1) Youll need to decide which of the 2 DSOs you want to store the result of the % calculation, then add a new infoobject for that purpose;
A2) Load ALL the data into the DSO that will NOT store the result of the % calculation; lets call this DSO DSO1. The data records in this DSO will be retrieved later on when loading the other DSO;
A3) For the DSO that will store the result of the % calculation (lets call this DSO DSO2), create a transformation rule (i.e. update rule) that will SELECT the related data record from DSO1 and carry out the calculation before storing the data record in DSO2 ( this can also be done in the Start Routine to loop through all the data records of a packet.)
B. Carry out the calculation at query time :
B1) Create a multiprovider (i.e. multicube or infoset) to combine your infocubes or DSOs together. Keep in mind that a multicube works as a union of the infoproviders, while an Infoset works as a join of the infoproviders.
B2) Create a formula in your query to calculate the %.
Hope this helps.

Create view link between two view objects (from programmatic data source)

Hi Experts,
Can we create a link between two view objects (they are created from programmatic datasource ; not from either entity or sql query). If yes how to create the link; ( i mean the like attributes?)
I would also like to drag and drop that in my page so that i can see as top master form and the below child table. Assume in my program i will be only have one master object and many child objects.
Any hits or idea pls.
-t

Easiest way to do this is to add additional transient attributes to your master view object, and then include those additional transient attributes in the list of source attributes for your view link. This way, you can get BC4J to automatically refer to their values with no additional code on your part.

API to create a link between Sales order and Requisition

We are upgrade 11i to R12. We have a custom drop ship process. We have a original SO and through the sales order we create a Reqisition. We send the requisition details to the factory and the factory sends us a flat file with the quantity shipped and dates. There might be multiple lines for each requisition received. We will add the details to the SO and update the Requision with the flat file details for the SO shipment. But We will have to create a link between the SO and the requisition. Is there an API to do the linking between a SO and A requisition line?

How to Identify titles that have lost the link to the music file/folder..

Is there a way of listing all the Music titles that no longer have a valid link to the source file and deleting them. I am afraid in my previous inexperience i inadvertently messed things up while trying to organise... ehum... Anyway, trying to organise again hopefully with more success now. Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

TT2's +*lost & found+* will work.
another option might be this app:
_*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.
