Helo BI Gurus,
After refreshing the query in BI, when I right click on the query report, I am getting an option 'Convert to Formula'. Can you please tell me the use of this option, and how we can use this in our report and what the result we will be getting?

Hi Mathew,
The Convert to Formula in Excel Allows you to Convert you Embedded Bex Query into API Calls. This enables you to Better Format the Excel Output by allowing you to move your Cells Around.
This helps because when you refresh you Query all the Changes you make will be maintained.

The "Use Selection of Structure Elements" Option in RSRT Query Properties

Hi, does anyone know the side effect of enabling this option for all BEx Queries? The help states the following: "The Use Selection of Structure Elements option can be selected for any query; however, it is only useful in some cases. In queries, selections are frequently based on one or more characteristics in the columns, or more precisely, in the structure elements. One or more of these structure elements are often filtered in the BEx Analyzer or in BEx Web applications. If you do not select the Use Selection of Structure Elements option, these dynamic (structure element) selections are not transferred to the database. Normally, the data for the entire structure or for both structures is then read from the database." It sounds to me that there is no harm in checking this flag all the time, but what is confusing is the default state of this option; i.e. unchecked.
I would appreciate if someone can clarify the downside of checking this flag.
Thanks,
Mohamed Judi

Hello Michael,
Checking this simple property helps improve performance in situations where there are many Restricted Key Figures and other calculations in the Query Definition
If analysis of the query performance indicates very high EVENTID 3200 times, and/or the FEMS number is very high try enabling this property and check performance.
Checking this ensures the structure elements are sent to the database for processing.
Check the below link: Page 14

What is the use of head,put options requests ?

What is the use of requests HEAD,PUT, OPTIONS etc. ?
How do we implement all these things ?
Namanc

See the HTTP specification (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9) for definitions of the different methods.
You can implement them by overriding the appropriate doHead(), doPut(), doOptions(), etc methods in your servlet class.

Yes, but you have no way of knowing whether what you find on Google is right or not.We can say its right as long google places oracle docs at the top when you type some thing related to oracle.
I aways see something else on the top. I dont believe people stopped hitting or reading or searching oracle docs.

What is the use of fox formula in integrated planning

what is the use of fox formula in integrated planning

Hi,
just as a follow up - the FOX Extension Formula capability of the IP in BW is as others have mentioned - to help develop formulas to execute calculations during planning, forecasting, budgeting, etc. - it allows consultants, like myself, to develop these formulas without the help of an ABAP consultant - but creates ABAP programs behind the scenes.
You can also use these ABAP programs separate from the IP component - once you create a FOX formula you can retrieve the ABAP program and then use it for other activities.
With the FOX you can use variables in a formula, call another ABAP program, generate loops of data both master and transactional, allows IF, THEN statements, and a number of other activiities. There is a limit to the usefulness of the FOX formula process - you may find if the FOX formula is too complex or long that your process will run slowly during the calculations. If this is occurring you will need to debug your ABAP program to see if you can increaase the performance.
Thanks and hope this helps, Pete

What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder for use on Final Cut Pro X?

What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts files for use with Final Cut Pro?

This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

Dear Friends
In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
What is the use of it?
Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
Thanking You
Arun

Arun biswal,
Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
For Ex Gross Value --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
Finally we have TOTAL --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
Routines are used to facilitate your process....

What is the use of initial value in a database table?

Hi can anyone help me in knowing what is the use of initial value which is present besides primary key while creating a table?

Initial Value:
Indicator that NOT NULL is forced for this field
Use
Select this flag if a field to be inserted in the database is to be filled with initial values. The initial value used depends on the data type of the field.
Please note that fields in the database for which the this flag is not set can also be filled with initial values.
When you create a table, all fields of the table can be defined as NOT NULL and filled with an initial value. The same applies when converting the table. Only when new fields are added or inserted, are these filled with initial values. An exception is key fields. These are always filled automatically with initial values.
Restrictions and notes:
The initial value cannot be set for fields of data types LCHR, LRAW, and RAW. If the field length is greater than 32, the initial flag cannot be set for fields of data type NUMC.
If a new field is inserted in the table and the initial flag is set, the complete table is scanned on activation and an UPDATE is made to the new field. This can be very time-consuming.
If the initial flag is set for an included structure, this means that the attributes from the structure are transferred. That is, exactly those fields which are marked as initial in the definition have this attribute in the table as well.
hope it helps,
Saipriya

What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase.

What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase. And one that is 'fool-proof' and very easy to use. Many thanks, anyone who can advise.

You want to 'reverse engineer' the compressed mpeg2 DVD file back to something iMovie can use?
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

what is the use of these filters what will happend if i remove these filters in web.xml file
please give me clear picture on these 3 filters and how these filters are helpful in our application.

As the name filter suggest, All the request will go though these filters if certian condition is satisfied
In ATG web.xml contains following filter:
<filter>
    <filter-name>PageFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>atg.filter.dspjsp.PageFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>PageFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
When there is .jsp in url pattern all the request will go through Page Filter.
Filter is java concept.For More details about Filter, Refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19502-01/819-3669/6n5sg7b0b/index.html
In order to process Jsp request, ATG use Page filter. It converts normal HttpRequest/HttpResponse to DynamoHttpRequest/DynamoHttpResponse. Please refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24152_01/Platform.10-1/ATGPlatformProgGuide/html/s0801requesthandlingwithservletpipeli01.html

What is the use of To_date, to_char functions?

what is the use of To_date, to_char functions?
while i am using these in my day to day activities but never able to know the exact working of tehse.
Message was edited by:
437022

Dates are stored and manipulated as coded (binary) values that always contain "century, year, month, date, hour, minute second"
We don't want to see the date as stored. We want to see the characters (digits) that make up the date. So we use to_char(the-date-value)
We want to tell the system a date, but have a heck of a time entering the binary. So we input the characters (digits) that make up the date and tell the system to convert that to a binary 'date' using to_date(our-string-that-respresents-dates)
The magic Oracle has added is the format codes (see chapter 2 of the SQL Reference manual for the complete list). We can get the system to print out dates and times, including day of week (and so on) using format codes.
The default format is to show us the date but not the time. Which leads a lot of people to believe that the time is not stored.

What is the use of inverted date format

In table TCURR - Exchange rates, the field GDATU - Date As of Which the Exchange Rate Is Effective is stored as an inverted date. So 01/01/2008 is actually stored as 79919898.
What is the use of inverted dates. Why does SAP use them. Why not just use normal date format? If I want the latest record from the table, instead of sorting by descending, I actually have to sort by ascending because the date is stored in inverted format.

Hi,
Inverted date is a old concept which helps in soring the dates sometimes. but now ASCENDING and DESCENDING sorting is more easy and quick. Check this application help. maybe useful for you
1. CONVERT DATE f1 INTO INVERTED-DATE f2.
2. CONVERT INVERTED-DATE f1 INTO DATE f2.
Effect
Calculates the nine's complement of the internal date format (YYYYMMDD - for more information about internal display, meaning and initial values of types, see TYPES) and places it in the field f2. For example, 19950511 becomes 80049488 and 80049488 becomes 19950511.
In the inverse date format, the most recent date has the numerically smallest value. You can make use of this effect when sorting dates.
Note
The technique of manipulating the sort sequence of dates by inverting the internal date format is now rarely used. You can sort internal tables in order of ascending or descending date values much more efficiently using the ... ASCENDING or ... DESCENDING additions to the SORT statement.
Example
DATA DATE_INV LIKE SY-DATUM.
CONVERT DATE SY-DATUM INTO INVERTED-DATE DATE_INV.
Suppose, for example, SY-DATUM contains the date 11.05.1995 in its internal format 19950511. After execution of the CONVERT statement, DATE_INV would contain the internal format 80049488.

What is the use P type variable in ABAP?

ex:
data <variable name > type p decimals 2.
here what is the use of declaring it to p type.
what is the difference between p type and float type.

Hi,
using packed variable we can decide the length of number and number of decimals we want in o/p which is not possible with other types
Packed numbers - type P
Type P data allows digits after the decimal point. The number of decimal places is generic, and is determined in the program. The value range of type P data depends on its size and the number of digits after the decimal point. The valid size can be any value from 1 to 16 bytes. Two decimal digits are packed into one byte, while the last byte contains one digit and the sign. Up to 14 digits are allowed after the decimal point. The initial value is zero. When working with type P data, it is a good idea to set the program attribute Fixed point arithmetic.Otherwise, type P numbers are treated as integers.
You can use type P data for such values as distances, weights, amounts of money, and so on.
Floating point numbers - type F
The value range of type F numbers is 1x10*-307 to 1x10*308 for positive and negative numbers, including 0 (zero). The accuracy range is approximately 15 decimals, depending on the floating point arithmetic of the hardware platform. Since type F data is internally converted to a binary system, rounding errors can occur. Although the ABAP processor tries to minimize these effects, you should not use type F data if high accuracy is required. Instead, use type P data.
You use type F fields when you need to cope with very large value ranges and rounding errors are not critical.
Using I and F fields for calculations is quicker than using P fields. Arithmetic operations using I and F fields are very similar to the actual machine code operations, while P fields require more support from the software. Nevertheless, you have to use type P data to meet accuracy or value range requirements.
