A way to change a field from one type to another?

I need to change a large number of running total fields to formulas based on those running totals. They already have custom formatting and suppression applied. Is there anyway to switch the source/type of the field from the running total to the formula so I don't have to manually re-apply all the complex formatting and suppression rules?

Hi,
If your formatting is with suppression and formatting outside the formula then the answer is no. I'm not exactly sure what you want to do but if , for example, your running total is returning a number and you want to view it as a date. Pass the total to a new formula and convert it in the new formula.
You can use ToText which will allow you to convert almost any type to a string and format it. For example:
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar myVariable;
ToText (myVariable, "yyyy/MM/dd");
Will convert the formula to a string date or
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar myVariable;
ToText (myVariable, "", "");
Will convert a number to a string integer.
You could do something similar using ToNumber or CDate.
Good luck,
Brian

HOW to copy Form field from one RTF to another RTF

Hi Expert
I have developed 20 reports in BI Publisher which is using xml as data source. So to access the data i have done the xml coding for each form field.
Now i want to copy the form field from one rtf to another, while doing the copy paste of the form field from one rtf to another it is not copying the xml coding. It is appearing in the new rtf as below
<?ref:xdo0391?>
Can you guys suggest me how to achieve the same. Is there any setting need to be changed so that while do the copy paste the form field it will copy the backend code also.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Srikant

make your template set as backward compatabile before you do anything on template. load the xml and then copy the form field. it should work. dont try to open the field without loading xml.

Best Way to port the data from one DB to another DB using Biztalk

Hi,
please suggest best way to move the data from one db to another DB using biztalk.
Currently I am doing like that, for each transaction(getting from different source tables) through receive port, and do some mapping (some custom logic for data mapping), then insert to target normalized tables(multiple tables) and back to update the status
of transaction in source table in sourceDB. It is processing one by one.
How/best we we can do it using bulk transfer and update the status. Since it has more than 10000 transaction per call.
Thanks,
Vinoth

Hi Vinoth,
For SQL Bulk inserts you can always use SQL Bulk Load
adapter.
http://www.biztalkgurus.com/biztalk_server/biztalk_blogs/b/biztalksyn/archive/2005/10/23/processing-a-large-flat-file-message-with-biztalk-and-the-sqlbulkinsert-adapter.aspx
However, even though a SQL Bulk Load adapter can efficiently insert a large amount of data into SQL you are still stuck with the issues of transmitting the
MessageBox database and the memory issues of dealing with really large messages.
I would personally suggest you to use SSIS, as you have mentioned that records have to be processed in specific time of day as opposed to when the
records are available.
Please refer to this link to get more information about SSIS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141026.aspx
If you have any more questions related to SSIS, please ask it in

forum and you will get specific support.

You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

Moving fields from one location to another location?

Hello
I hv developed my_form, having couple of subforms, fields.
They decided to change the layout drastically, pls. let me know How I can MOVE fields as a BUNCH from one location to another location on a DIFFERENT page?
Say, earlier i hv 5 fields together, side by side on a same line/row wrapped in my_sub_form on 2nd page. Now, after they revising they want to see these 5 fields of the my_sub_form on 3rd page, pls. let me,
1) How can i move these 5 fields ALL TOGETHER as a bunch to another location, so that it meakes my life easy? instaed of moving a single single field.
2) or i should move my_sub_form AS A WHOLE? i tried it not giving me a chance of moving as a my_sub_form?
3) Pls. let me know what is Object Tool? where can i see on the form, i did RIGHT CLICK, but, did not see any such Object Tool on the displayed sontext menu?

Hi,
Best option would be to select the objects in the hierarchy and then drag them in the hierarchy to the new location. For example if you drag them over a page and release, Designer will place the objects at the end of that page's content.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Is there a way to automatically move mail from one folder to another?

Is there a way to periodically, automatically, move mail from one folder to another?
For example, I'd like to move mail from one of my IMAP/Archives folders to my MyMac/Archive folder and I'd like this to happen without intervention.
Can this be done?

I'll try to be more specific.
When I'm done with an email, I archive it.
Because I have multiple email accounts, this results in emails in multiple Archive folders (one per account).
I'd like to have these automatically all moved into one (on my Mac).

You could put them all in a single folder and move the folder to another screen.

--Any way to copy/paste clips from one project to another w/o LOSING TRANSITIONS...??

I have CS5...
I'm trying to speed up render/export time. I have multiple edited video's in about 15 different projects.
I had a couple video's within one project and rendered the work area - consisting of 4 video's...then exported. It was much faster than just going to straight exporting so I wanted to do the same with all the other video's.
Pull everything into one project - render first - and export from there but premiere doesn't copy transitions from one project to another. Is there any way to get it to copy/paste transitions??
Thanks

exported regularly and took 2hrs 50min's for each video....then rendered and exported - took prob around 2hrs total - including rendering/exporting.
That seems unlikely. If anything, the separate render/export should take slightly longer (though not that much) as you may also have to transcode the preview files (depending on your preview codec) during the render, as well as decode them for the export. Besides adding an additional layer of compression, it also adds time. Here's what I mean.
Export only:
1. Decode original media
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the export codec of choice.
Render (1-3) /Export (4-5)
1. Decode original media.
2. Render new frame based on sequence, effects, titles, etc.
3. Transcode that new frame to the Preview codec (if anything less than Uncompressed, this adds time and potentially degrades quality)
4. Decode the rendered frame (if not Uncompressed, which adds time)
5. Transcode that (decoded) render frame to the export codec of choice.
So you see, the render first process has two extra steps which add time, one of which could also introduce additional artifacts (depending on your preview codec).

Best Way to Migrate an application from one server to another

I couldn't seem to find the best way to this by Googling. If you have two instances of Sun Web Server 7, and you want to migrate a web application from one server to another, what is the best way to that?

I am sorry. My question was poorly worded after some hours of frustration. What I am really trying to do is develop a base virtual machine snapshot with Sun Web Server Loaded and a base set of applications.
When the need arises, I need to deploy another VM and start it up. There seems to be some issue with the host name of the VM and the administration server, or something. It is my impression that as longs as I have everything contained in one directory like /webserver, I should be able to copy everything to a new machine and start it up. I know I need the listeners listening on all ip addresses and the jdk being used would need to be in that directory as well. Is there anything I am missing here or that I need to watch out for?

Move fields from one table to another

Hi,
I would like to move fields from one internal table into corresponding fields of another internal table.
move-corresponding syntax seems only to work with structures. How do you accomplish this for internal tables? Do I have to use for loops?
regards
Baran

Yes you have to use loops and move-correspoding statements unless you have all the common fields in the same order on both internal table and no different fields to the left most.
eg:
data: begin of itab1 occurs 0,
         field1 type i,
      end of itab1.
data: begin of itab2 occurs 0,
         field1 type i,
         field2(1),
      end of itab2.
do 5 times.
itab1-field1 = sy-index.
append itab1.
enddo.
itab2[] = itab1[].
loop at itab2.
write:/ itab2-field1.
endloop.
The above code would give you some idea.

ravi
