Please suggest possible methods
Thanks and regards

Hi,
If approval has to be taken from different people u can either use notifications from one user to another or develop a workflow for the same.

Simple Line Chart - Values over time

A simple line chart displaying a set of values over time would seem to be a very easy report to design. I'll be darned if I can see how to design it. Can anyone shed some light?
I have provided links to a report and a spreadsheet which is the report datasource. My actual report will use SQL Server as its datasource. I am providing ths excel based example for the sake of protability.You will need to set the datasource location after saving the files to your hard drive.
I can get the lines to draw properly, what I cannot figure out is how to specify the datetime values for the x axis. The column I would like to use on the x-axis is called DerivedLoggingTime.
I'd also like to get control of the logarithmic algorithm used to formulate the y-axis values. I am not always happy with the values that the log algorithm comes up with.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Another discovery while working on this report - our database will be SQL 2008 and we are making use of the datetime2 datatype. CR appears to be treating this datatype as text. So when working with the SQL based datasource, I had to cast datetime2 columns as datetime in order for CR to see the columns as datetime instead of text. This is fine in this instance because the granularity of the datetime values for this particular report does not require datetime2, but that will not always be the case. CR will need to recognize the new datatype.

Hi Joe,
The Date Axis Line Chart of the Numeric Axis Type Chart, can be used to display data on a regular interval of days, Months and Years. The information displayed can unfortunately not be more granular that days.
This type of chart is generally used when the data is recorded on irregular intervals in the database, and to make sense of the information stored it needs to be displayed at regular intervals.
Since the data stored in your data source seems to be stored every 4 minutes, it will not be necessary to use this type of chart. I will suggest to use the regular line chart instead.
To create a line chart using your date time field and value:
1. Select "Chart" under the menu "Insert"
2. Insert the chart on your report in the desired section.
    ( Group Header # 3 in your case. )
3. In the "Chart Expert" window, under the tab "Type",
    change the chart type to a line chart by selecting "Line" in
    the "Chart Type" list.
4. Under the tab "Data", add the database field that contains the Date Time information under the "On change of" list.
(In your case, add the "DerivedLoggingTime" database field)
5. To display the data for each minute, select the database fields you just added under the "On Change of" list, and
click on the button "Order". In the "Chart Sort Order" window,
select "For each minutes" in the "Section will be printed" drop down list, then click "OK"
6. Add the field you want to display the value in the "Show Value List", then click "OK"
Now it will display a line chart as desired, but since there is a lots of data point on your chart, the x axis date time labels will overlap each other. To avoid this situation, I will suggest to skip labels.
To format a chart to skip labels:
1. In the "Preview" tab of the report, select one of the x axis label, and right click on it. In the contextual menu, select "Group (X) Axis Options..."
2. In the "Group (X) Axis Settings" window, under the tab "Layout", check the option "Skip Group Labels" and set the value to 15 for example.
Now, it will display the date time label at every 15 data point.
As for your question on how get control of the logarithmic algorithm used to formulate the y-axis values, we unfortunately do not have much control over it other than:
- Entering static values, or
- Checking or Unchecking the option "Use Logarithmic scales"
The above options are available on the y axis. To change those options:
1. In the "Preview" tab of the report, select one of the y axis label, and right click on it. In the contextual menu, select "Group (Y) Axis Options..."
2. In the "Group (Y) Axis Settings" window, under the tab "Scales", you will see the following options:
- Minimum Values
- Maximum Values
- Use Logarithmic scales
I will suggest to check the option "Use Logarithmic scales"
Finally, as for the issue you discovered where SQL Server 2008 data type DateTime2 is converted to a string in Crystal Reports 2008, it is important to note that SQL Server 2008 hasn't been released yet, therefore it has not been tested in Crystal Reports 2008. Once SQL Server 2008 is released, I will suggest to test it again using the ODBC driver provided with this new version.
At this point I am assuming that this is happening because it is a new data type and an unknown data type get converted to string.

Work flow object type for purchase requisition please do reply

helllo anjireddy
pls dont mind spare a lit bit extra time for my query....
am giving u my requirement once again
 i have a custom table: the fields in it are storage location,issuing plant,approver user id..
when a PR is created..the storage location(EBAN-lgort) and issuing plant(eban-werks) are to be read into the custom table where there is no data available for the approver user id...and a mail has to be sent to the approver ..when approved/ rejected a mail will be sent to the Requisitioner,approver and creator..
as u said create a subtype of the Business object bus2105 and have to create a Customer Task in PFTC and assign this object and a Method and define a triggering event.
now wat i didnt understand is....when the fields location and plant r read frm the PR there will be no data in the approver user id field in the custom table,then how to get the approver' mail id...?
pls do respond
regards
anik

Hi
You will get the UserID of the Approver from this
then use the Tables USR21 and ADR6 tables to get the mail ID
See the sample:
DATA : lv_pernr LIKE adr6-persnumber,
 lv_adrnr LIKE adr6-addrnumber,
 lv_usrid LIKE pa0105-usrid,
 lv_mail LIKE adr6-smtp_addr.
CLEAR: lv_pernr, lv_usrid, lv_adrnr,
 lv_mail.
lv_usrid = gv_ernam.
SELECT SINGLE persnumber addrnumber FROM usr21
 INTO (lv_pernr,lv_adrnr)
 WHERE bname = lv_usrid.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
 SELECT SINGLE smtp_addr INTO lv_mail FROM adr6
 WHERE addrnumber = lv_adrnr AND
 persnumber = lv_pernr.
 endif.

Work flow object type for purchase requisition

hello anji reddy
u asked me to create a Customer Task in PFTC and assign this object and a Method and define a triggering event etc for the workflow to get triggered,but in the triggering events there is no create event in it,so how and where should i create that event and also in the custom table which i have created there is a field approver user id ,where can i get this id frm?when the pr is created the fields storage location and issuing plant will be read and sent to the custom table where the related approver id should be chosen,,but the field will be blank so how to enter data into the approver user id field.....
also in the business object(bus2105) is it that in the program only the create function module should be called and the rest of the fn modules which r there in the sample program which u have sent should be deleted?????????

anik

Firefox for Android becomes painfully slow over time. Clearing data fixes, but erases bookmarks. Where is the "Reset" function ??

After a fresh install, Firefox loads websites very fast with almost no lag. After a few weeks, it becomes slower and slower. Getting to the point where it wil take aboit 20 seconds to display the Top Sites/Bookmarks window. Then sometimes opening a page, the loading circle stops moving and it freezes the phone. After about 15 seconds everything works again. The only way I found to fix this horrendous problem is to go into control panel for Firefox and Clear Data. I dont like doing that because I lose all of my bookmarks. It seems the Cache always shows "0 bytes" so there never is nothing to clear out. I would like to know where this "Reset" function is for Android. I see they have it for Windows versions..but what about Android?
My phone is an HTC Rezound running stock Android 4.0.3
Thanks in advance.

Bruce, whilst waiting for Roland to get back you may wish to try this
Enter into the address bar ''about:memory'' you get interactive dynamic information about memory usage, and maybe also ''about:compartments'' .
That should at least help you see where the memory is going to.

Hints how to get a report for "number of active threads over time", e.g.?

Hi there,
We drive a number of WLS setups monitored using Grid Control 11g, and due to the usual economic aspects up to four WLS domains on a single system. To track the development of the load for each single domain we would like to have a report for the active threads, CPU e.g.. In the list of the pre-defined reports we can't find anything matching, so any hints for us based on someone's experience?
TIA
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
I would suggest you to have a look at the below WLST script which would give you the required report of the active threads and it would be send an email too.
Topic: Sending Email Alert for Threads Pool Health Using WLST
http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=5433
Topic: Sending Email Alert for Hogger Threads Count Using WLST
http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=5423
Also you can use the below script in case of the stuck threads, this script would send you an email with the thread dumps during the issue occurred.

A robust data structure for a histogram of events over time.

Hi all,
I've been thinking for days, I am still lost on how to solve the following:
Let's say that we have a list of events that occur over a certain time interval. Each event has a start timestamp and a finish timestamp. The events occur in no particular order and expand over various length of periods.
With respect to the histogram, we mark the time period of an event occuring with a frequency of one. When events overlap over a time period, we mark that time period with a frequency of number of overlapping events.
Given this raw data, we want to examine the data's frequency under various granularity such as second, minutes, hours, days, weeks, month and years for 60sec, 60min, 24 hrs, 7 days, 4 wks ranges respectively.
So, what is a good intermediate (general) data structure that can store all the various events such that they can be easily transformed to a specific granularity. My goal here is to read the event list once, and histogram of events data with respect to various timeframe can be calculated.
Does a timeline like data strucuture that stores aggregated frequencies solve my problem? With a fine granuarlity say seconds and a long time range, the data structure will bound to overflow.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Brian

You data structure would be in terms of Classes. You need a class Anevent{
String eventName;
Date startTime;
Date endTime;
In your main program have a Vector object which can store unllimited objects and which would not overflow. Store your event objects as they happen in this Vector. After your time interval of events is completed and you have the final Vector, you can pass the vector object to various methods in your main program to be simple or pass it to specailized graph drawing classes you would have to write to draw various Histograms.

Standard Work flow for Leave approval in HR module

Hi ,
My query is there any standard work flow available in HR module for Leave approval and Over time approval. We have negative time management and with out ESS and MSS.
Pl suggest if any one has used this earlier with out ESS or EP
Regards
Punit

I can think of the following but not without enhancement for the workflow part.
- Since you are not using ESS, you (leave admin) may create the absence record directly in IT2001 (in LOCK mode).
- In the user exit of 2001 you may trigger your Workflow process (i.e. call the function module to trigger WF here) depending on the LCCK status. You have to explore if standard WF can be used to your requirement.
- Upon approval, you can UNLOCK the absence.
- In the event that UNLOCK is unsuccessful, trigger WF to your Leave Admin for him to update via PA30.
Standard SAP Workflow
- Only 1 level approval
- Using Chief Position
IF your workflow requirement deviates, then you have to also customize workflow, does not matter whether you are using ESS or not.
Finally test and retest to make sure all possible events are covered.
OT is the same, except that you need to use 2007 vs 2002

Hi,
If you have an instance of SPListItem, and know the workflow association name, you can start it. First you need to find workflow assocation instance and tell SPSite.SPWorkflowManager to start your workflow.

Work Flow & Procedure For Transportation Module Of SD

Dear All,
Currently, we have just got SD implemented. Now, we shall like to go for the Transportaion Module i.e. Order Booking, delivery and the PGI followed by Auto Invoicing. Now, we wants to go for Transportation Module i.e. Shipment Creation, Shipment cost calculation , Service Order Creation etc. As we are quite new to this. So, we shall like to know the complete work flow & the procedure for implementing the same. i.e. in what sequence the various transactions to be used for Master / Transaction.
Please advise further.
With Best Regards,
Sanjeev Chugh

Thanks for the reply. Definitely, i can share the details to the best of my knowledge about the transportation module.
This module is basically meant for controlling purpose. Our main objective is to control the Transportaion Charges. Vendor Invoice must be cross verified from the sytem as well.
Our Current Business Process : As per business process, we are having fixed rates per transporter for the type of vehicle and the source - destination combination. So, whenever, we are stock transferring the material from our mfg. plants to various depots, we are using various transporters (some one are specialised for south, some are spl. for east, so on and so forth). On the receipt of the material, receiver i.e. the destination branch , confirms the material receipt.. MIGO / MIRO etc. . We wants to capture the cost of the shipment as per the system and then on the receipt of the bill from transporter, the same must be cross verified.
On going thru various documents from Web, I could gather the following details :
1. After making deliveries, we have to make a shipment document. In our case, max. time it shall be an individual Shipment i.e. Tcode VT01N. Other type of shipment be Collective Shipment, which we use very less no. of times.
2. We have to prepare Shipment Cost document by using Tcode VI01
3. We have to create a service Purchase Order By using ME21N.
In our business scenario, we shall not be using legs concept as our shipments generally used to be from point to point basis.
Sir, logically, i know our needs.. But getting stuck at a couple of points ... Like where to define various rates per transporter..That's why, i named the subject as the Work Flow & Procedure for Tpt.Module.
I shall like to request you to kindly advise further in this regard or kindly let me know if some study material is available from where i can comes to know about the exact work flow of the Transportation Module As Such.
From Where I Can Get Help on Any Tcode Usage i.e How to use a Tcode and what be its basic functionality.
With Best Regards,
Sanjeev Chugh

Work flow mails not processing from SAP Outbox to Approvers

Hello,
We are working on the implementation of Work flow for Purchase orders.
Work flow customization is completed and even work flow is triggering when ever I create Purchase Order.
Even Agent assignment also completed for work flow tasks via T code PTFC_CHG.
Problem here is Work flow mails are not processing out of SAP Outbox to approvers even also after executing the program RSWUWFML2.
If I check in SOST,I will not see any of the entries related to work flow mails.
For eg:If I creates a Purchase order it will trigger Release Strategy and I can see the message to Approvers,like "Please Approver PO..."
Only above I can see in my SAP Outbox.
So how can I Process these messages to approvers SAP Inbox.
Any Pre Setting I have to do?
With regards,
SPK

Hi SP,
I may be wrong, but on reading ur thread, I feel u r mis interpreting SAP Outbox with Outlook.
Is it so, because u have mentioned about RSWUWFML2 and SOST, which comes into picture only if u r using an external mail like Outlook.
If its Outlook, then there is no doubt that ur work item would get deleted from SAP Inbox and would be present only in Outlook.
If its SAP Outbox, then u r not supposed to get ur work item in ur Outbox unless it is processed or executed thru ur SAP Inbox.
Hope it helps.
Aditya
