Reg: counter over reading .

what is  "CntrOverReadg"  in the ik01  while creating measurement point counter.
can any tell me the usage of this.  what data shd i"ve to enter in this cntrOverReadg

Its counter overflow reading. It describes the maximum possible reading that physical measurement point can measure.
For example: A car odometer can measure up to 99999 km of distance covered by it. Hence after the car odometer reaches the value of 99999 km it starts again from 0 km. However the total distance covered by the should be 99999 plus the reading after counter over flow.
Lets say you have provided the counter overflow reading e.g. 99 for any measurement point for which the current counter reading is 10. If you will create the measurement document with reading less than 10 (let say 4) then the system will consider it as counter overflow occurred and will show the total reading as 103 (i.e 99 + 4) and counter reading as 4.
Hope it helps!

  • Counter over flow reading

    What is the utilization of counter over flow reading and annual estimate in counters? Is there any report or any application where it helps us in tracking?

    hi
    counter overflow reading is used wherein your counter reading overflows
    for example your milometer will only show 9999 miles ,once this counter has reached overflow  occurs ,i.e. the counter starts to count upwards from 0000 again
    Annual estimate is used for scheduling purpose for performance based scheduling and for multiple counter plan ,
    Multiple counter plan
    The system uses the current date as the start date and automatically calculates the planned dates based on the maintenance cycles, the scheduling parameters, the estimated annual performance and the last counter readings
    Performance based
    The system automatically calculates the planned date and call date based on the maintenance packages, the scheduling parameters, the estimated annual performance and the counter reading at the start of the cycle

  • Guidance on use of "COUNT(*) OVER () * 5" in a select query.

    Hello Friends,
    I was reading one article, in which one table was created for demo. Following was the statements for there.
    CREATE TABLE source_table
    NOLOGGING
    AS
    SELECT ROWNUM AS object_id
    , object_name
    , object_type
    FROM all_objects;
    INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO source_table
    SELECT ROWNUM (COUNT(*) OVER () * 5)+ AS object_id
    , LOWER(object_name) AS object_name
    , SUBSTR(object_type,1,1) AS object_type
    FROM all_objects;
    INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO source_table
    SELECT ROWNUM (COUNT(*) OVER() * 10)+ AS object_id
    , INITCAP(object_name) AS object_name
    , SUBSTR(object_type,-1) AS object_type
    FROM all_objects;
    Can anyone please tell me the purpose of *"ROWNUM + (COUNT(*) OVER () * 5)"* in above 2 insert statements, or suggest me some document on that.
    I don't know about its usage, and want to learn that..
    Regards,
    Dipali..

    The insert statements that you have listed are using Oracle Analytic Functions. Some examples of these functions can be found here: [Oracle Analytic Functions|http://www.psoug.org/reference/analytic_functions.html|Oracle Analytic Functions]
    Effectively what that says is the following:
    1. "COUNT(*) OVER ()" = return the number of rows in the entire result set
    2. Multiply that by 5 (or 10 depending on the insert)
    3. Add the current ROWNUM value to it.
    This can be shown with a simple example:
    SQL> edit
    Wrote file sqlplus_buffer.sql
      1  SELECT *
      2  FROM
      3  (
      4     SELECT ROWNUM r,
      5             (COUNT(*) OVER ()) AS ANALYTIC_COUNT,
      6             5,
      7             ROWNUM + (COUNT(*) OVER () * 5) AS RESULT
      8     FROM all_objects
      9  )
    10* WHERE r <= 10
    SQL> /
             R ANALYTIC_COUNT          5     RESULT
             1          14795          5      73976

  • IR Problem with COUNT (*) OVER () AS apxws_row_cnt

    Hi all,
    i have a query wich is ran under 2 seconds when ecexuted in SQL (TOAD),
    when i use this query in an interactive report then it takes minutes.
    When i reviewd the query which APEX is sending to the DB i noticed an additional select clause:
    SELECT columns,
    COUNT ( * ) OVER () AS apxws_row_cnt
    FROM (
    SELECT *
    FROM ( query
    ) r
    ) r
    WHERE ROWNUM <= TO_NUMBER (:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)
    when i remove the COUNT ( * ) OVER () AS apxws_row_cnt then the query is fast again.
    How can i change the IR so that the COUNT ( * ) OVER () AS apxws_row_cnt doesn't appear annymore.
    I removed the pagination (- no pagination selected -)
    I put the query in a new IR report in a new page, the COUNT ( * ) OVER () AS apxws_row_cnt still appears.
    Any suggestions i can try ?
    Regards,
    Marco

    I think your query returns many rows. Did you see all the rows in Toad in 2 secs?
    If the answer is NO then the query is not finished after 2 secs. It just showed you the first few rows.
    Almost every tool including apex does the same.
    However if you want to know how many rows are returned then there is no way around doing the whole select until the last row.
    Then the result can be shown.
    APEX or a developer might use something like the analytic function "count(*) over ()" to get this result already on the first row. The database still needs to fetch all the rows. Howeverthe result set is not transported over the network to the client, which might also save a lot of time compared to not doing it on the database level.

  • Counting Over Last 3500 appearances with Where Clause

    I'm Using Sql Server Studio 2014
    I have a Table containing the following columns:
    AutoId  Assembly_No  [Rank]   
    1          Assembly1       2
    2          Assembly2       1
    3          Assembly1       2
    4          Assembly1       1
    5          Assembly1       0
    6          Assembly2       2
    7          Assembly2       1
    I'm Trying to Run a query that Will count over the last 3500 times that a specific Assembly_No has been that has a rank > 0. For simplicity's sake we can use we can look at the last 2 times that an assembly has been ran. So the results that I'm expecting
    should look like this
    Assembly_NO   Count
    Assembly2        2
    Assembly1        1
    This resulted in assembly2 being counted twice for ids 6 and 7 and only once for ids 4 and 5 because only one rank was > 0. AutoID is an identity column so the most recent values will be determined using this number.
    The query below can count over all of the Assemblies ran, however I'm having trouble only counting over the last 2 for each assembly
    Select Assembly_No, Count(*) as Count
    From TblBuild
    Where Rank > 0
    Group By Assembly_No
    Returns the following 
    Assembly_no  Count
    Assembly2      3
    Assembly1      3

    Looks like this should return what you are expecting:
    --drop table #temp
    create table #temp
    autoid int,
    assembly_no nvarchar(10),
    rank_no int
    insert into #temp (autoid, assembly_no, rank_no) values (1, 'Assembly1', 2)

  • Barcode counting over groups

    Hi all,
    I am working on a barcode for my invoices print. This barcode counts over the invoices from 1 to 16 and then starts over again. For example if i have a set of 6 invoices each of 3 pages the barcode numbering will be as follows:
    invoice 1 page 1: 1
    invoice 1 page 2: 2
    invoice 1 page 3: 3
    invoice 2 page 1: 4
    invoice 2 page 2: 5
    invoice 5 page 3: 15
    invoice 6 page 1: 16
    invoice 6 page 2: 1
    invoice 6 page 3: 2
    I have tried to solve this with some xsl-fo programming, but i can't get the page-number or total pages per invoice into a variable. So I can't determine how many pages have been printed for previous invoices and which is the next number to print in the barcode.
    Hope you can give me some advice.

  • Measuring Point Counter Overflow reading

    Dear Masters,
    I want to know whether there is any standard method by which i can create a notification in the system whenever any measuring point reading reaches its counter overflow reading?
    Can I do the same with the range valued measuring points? That if the measuring point reading is out of the range defined in a measuring point, it should create a notification
    Thanks in advance for your valuable time and answers.

    Hi,
    Try any of these User Exits.
    IMRC0001 MeasPoint/MeasDoc: Exit before update (after COMMIT WORK)
    IMRC0003 MeasDoc: Menu exit for customer-specific function
    To create the Notification, use the FM BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE.

  • K9N neo - F, Stuttering / harddrive over reading / caching noticeable in games.

    I've been experiencing a really strange issue, my hard drive seems to be over reading / caching , It's mostly noticeable in BF2, and in world of warcraft, it sputters for a split second then the game goes back into smooth game play. It happens every 20 seconds or so really irritating lol. My settings for the games are medium detail levels nothing to taxing on the ram, the system I had previously 3000+ w/ DDR 400 1 gig and a 9800 pro I had no issues and it actually loaded maps faster under the same graphic settings. One harddrive is a sata samsung 160 gig, the other is an IDE 120 gig western digital. Both 7200 rpm 8 megs cache. The previous system I had ran these games fine with no issue under the same graphic settings, so it's really odd.
    Some of the things I've tired:
    I tried using a totally different hard drive with the OS / games and it does the same thing
    I've ran a diag tool on both harddrives and they check outfine
    I've checked out the ram specs and tried setting them manually, 5 5 5 12, and using auto (thinking it may be something with the ram possibly.)
    I've disabled SMART in bios which didn't do anything.
    I've messed around with disabling spredspectrum which didn't do anything
    I tired using on board sound and ditching the audigy thinking mabey the sound was causing lag issues, cause when it sputtered the sound would lag for a split second, unfornately didn't do anything.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appericated, it's a really strange issue that I haven't encountered before, tried everything I could think of. Thanks.

    Not sure about it. Have you tried to benchmarks for the HDD? Did you do any bios flashing recently? Have you tried reset the bios? If increased the PCI-X bus to 104MhZ is there any different?

    I also play WoW.. I get the stuttering too. I cant completely get rid of it but i got it down to a minimum. If i read your post right you have 1gig of ram.. Same here. WoW runs best on 2 gigs. When you hearth into IF or ride the gryphon there are so many new items/textures loading that your pagefile is working overtime hence the hard drive light is in contant flicker. The best solution as i said is to get 2 gigs of ram.. Another solution that i used that seemed to help is to set my pagefile to a diff hard drive. I run 2 Seagates 8meg cache 7200 rpm and disabled pagefile on drive c and put it on drive f. By putting it on another drive it will run faster with less hickups as you utilize both drives for better performance instead of one. If you want to try it let me know ill tell you how..
    Please create your own rig and post it in details including the PSU and Bios revision so others can help you!! Not sure if your HDD need to update the firmware from the Seagate if you're using the SATAII. Gd luck.

  • Count Over Count

    Hi, i was looking for some help in regards to understanding the general rule of using the count function. I am trying to build my knowledge of the different functions in order for me to have a better understanding so that I am writing my sql queries in the right way.
    What i was looking to find out was trying to understand the count function. As i understand I can apply the following in order to give me a count of a particular set of data.
    select number, count(*) AS no_count
    from test
    group by job_id;What I am trying to understand is if for some reason I wanted to use the results of the "count(*) AS no_count" to give me another set of results i.e. sum all values over 2 for example, would i write it like the following:
    select number, count(*) AS no_count,
    select count(no_count) having etc...
    from test
    group by job_id;or is the general rule that I would have to write a select within a select?
    If somebody could please help, would really appreciate it. Btw if there is any documentation on using count, as well as using this with other functions i.e. sum than that would be very useful as well.
    Thanks in advance.

    Solomon, thanks for your help. Apologies if i have not explained my question properly. The problem is that I haven't created the tables and have wrote my sample data and i am then trying to work out solutions before attempting to create the tables etc, which is probably where I am going wrong.
    The job_ids can be repeated, first job_count should give me total job counts belonging to each job_id.
    For example in your first dataset you have a job count for all jobs i.e. manager has 3 records with 1 job_count. So I would then like a column to give me a total count of job_count for each criteria i.e. manager had 3 total jobs. I have tried to breakdown the dataset you have shown alongwith the extras I am trying to add, to hopefully explain what I am looking for.
    JOB               JOB_COUNT       TOTAL_JOB_COUNT               OVER_1
    MANAGER                    1                    3                                   0
    PRESIDENT                  1                    1                                   1
    CLERK                         1                    4                                   0
    SALESMAN                  4                    4                                   0
    ANALYST                    2                    2                                   0
    MANAGER                   1                    3                                   0
    MANAGER                   1                    3                                   0
    CLERK                        1                    4                                   0
    CLERK                        2                    4                                   0
    [/CODE]
    So this tells from all jobs which job was dealt with first time so in this case it would be the president, the rest of the jobs were repeated.
    The total_job_count would be written like:select job, count(*) as TOTAL_JOB_COUNT
    but its the over_1 (or sum maybe, not sure) that is based on the results within the total_job_count that I need to look into to find values that equal to 1. Hence I thought I would have to write a count of a count, which is what I am not clear on.
    Sorry for the inconvenience, and really appreciate your help and time.
    Thanks
    Apologies, not sure how to write the resultset as added but appears all over the place.

    Since I do not understand at all what you are trying to do, I cannot correct your query, but I can explain the results.
    The analytic function is doing a running count of the number of records that have been outout so far. With no duplicates, this is somewhat clearer.
    SQL> WITH t AS (SELECT 1 om FROM dual UNION ALL
      2             SELECT 2 FROM dual UNION ALL
      3             SELECT 3 FROM dual UNION ALL
      4             SELECT 4 FROM dual UNION ALL
      5             SELECT 5 FROM dual)
      6  SELECT om, COUNT(rownum) OVER (ORDER BY om) ps
      7  FROM t;
            OM         PS
             1          1
             2          2
             3          3
             4          4
             5          5However, when you have duplicates, both duplicate values get the running count from the last of the duplicates (i.e. the highest running count). Here, I have duplicated 4 and see what I get:
    SQL> WITH t AS (SELECT 1 om FROM dual UNION ALL
      2             SELECT 2 FROM dual UNION ALL
      3             SELECT 3 FROM dual UNION ALL
      4             SELECT 4 FROM dual UNION ALL
      5             SELECT 4 FROM dual UNION ALL
      6             SELECT 5 FROM dual)
      7  SELECT om, COUNT(rownum) OVER (ORDER BY om) ps
      8  FROM t;
            OM         PS
             1          1
             2          2
             3          3
             4          5
             4          5
             5          6The "second" 4 record had a running count of 5 (i.e. it was the fifth record output), so both 4's get the same count. Changing the order by to descending shows the same effect, it just changes the running count:
    SQL> WITH t AS (SELECT 1 om FROM dual UNION ALL
      2             SELECT 2 FROM dual UNION ALL
      3             SELECT 3 FROM dual UNION ALL
      4             SELECT 4 FROM dual UNION ALL
      5             SELECT 4 FROM dual UNION ALL
      6             SELECT 5 FROM dual)
      7  SELECT om, COUNT(rownum) OVER (ORDER BY om DESC) ps
      8  FROM t;
            OM         PS
             5          1
             4          3
             4          3
             3          4
             2          5

  • How do i output CMY reg marks over BLK master reg mark without the BLK being knocked out on BLK film

    how do i output CMY reg marks only CMY films where they are over the BLK master reg mark without the BLK being knocked out on BLK film

    You're evidently doing some kind of custom registration, but not explaining what it is.
    First, what kind of printing are you doing that requires ten seps (CMYK and six spots)?
    By definition, the Registration Swatch prints solid on all seps, both process and spot. But you talk of a CMY registration mark as if it is distinct and separate from K. Don't you also want your CMY seps to be registered not only to each other but also to the K?
    You mention a "master" registration (as opposed to…?) needing to appear on the K sep. If a registration mark only appears on a single sep, what is it going to serve to register to; and how if there is no corresponding mark on the other sep(s)?
    You seem to be under a not uncommon misconception that separations are somehow associated with Layers. They're not, unless you just want to organize your drawing that way for some reason.
    If you want to create your own registration or fold or other printer marks which separate only to specific process inks, simply create and assign Swatches defined with 100% values of the desired component inks. There is no need to set these marks to overprint.
    If you want to create your own marks which separate only to specific spot inks, those will need to involve object-level overprinting. You do not have to do that using multiple objects. You can assign multiple Strokes to a single path and set the overprint attribute on the Strokes individually.
    It almost sounds like you are designing for screen printing on garments, and want to use registration marks. But because there is no "trim" region on the garment, you are trying to build the files in such a way that the marks end up being overprinted (therefore hidden) by subsequent inks. The default assumption in forums like this is always commercial offset printing. Otherwise, you should always state the printing method for which you are designing and describe the pertinent parameters.
    Edit:
    >"... this is a silk screen process with each colour applied over the other..."
    We were typing at the same time. So it's as I suspected (or similar). Your description of what the printer wants is still confusing.

  • Load Cycle Count over 7500 in just 5 days on new DV4 series notebook

    Hi,
      I'm really concerned about my new laptop i bought just a week ago (dv4-4172); it happens that the disk is making a lot of noise just like the infamous 'clicking sound of death' and reporting up to now, more than 7500 load cycles in just 5 days of operation and also, 2 errors in the CRC of the UDMA. Since my hard disk (Hitachi HTS547564A9E384 640.1 GB) was behaving like that i ran several test on the disk (HP's BIOS run-tests, HDD Tune, smartctl (short and the long one), etc.) but i'm not getting a single read-write error, that is, the system hasn't any functional/operational problem, yet. Furthermore, my disk's lifespan is 600000 load cycles and i'm getting about 1500 in just a day, you don't even need a calculator to realize the harddisk won't last more than 1.5 years. The constant clicking of the disk is also getting on my nerves too .
      The question here is, is it normal for this hard disk to have an average count of 1500 load/unload in a day (i.e. 1 cycle every minute) or is my disk the only one with suicidal attitudes?. My last notebook's harddisk (Seagate) didn't get more than 100k cycles in 2 years of operation, that's why i'm concerned...
      Naturally, hdparm solves the issue, but (partially or permanently) disabling my harddisk's APM is even more suicidal than my disk's actual attitude, and by the way, you need some technical skillset to change those values (I'm a linux sysadmin, so i knew how to solve that specific issue), why is the default configuration set as this? or is HP expecting every single user to know how to modify the APM or, if you don't, to have a seat while watching your hard disk self destruction take place.
    Thanks in advance.
    - melvin
    FYI, the problem is agnostic of which operating system i use, even in the POST stage the harddisk starts with that annoying clicking (and its corresponding cycle count increased), and yeah, i've updated all my drivers and followed every suggestion hp support assistant gave to me, like the nice guy i am.
    This question was solved.

    Hello uncle_sam,
    You’re having a problem with the hard drive.
    The drive is not supposed to be making any noise.
    Since the unit is still new I’d call HP and have them send you a new HDD.
    Here is a link to the phone number.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.
