Adding new column in an existing report which was build using Union

While working in OBIEE 11g I encounter an issue.
My existing report was build using UNION at Criteria Tab in Analysis. Now I have a requirement to add a new column into the same report. For each criteria I have added the new column but when I go back to the "Result Columns". I see a new field added but it is not allowing me to open or edit column properties for that new column & at the same time it is not allowing me to navigate to other tabs like Results, Promts, and Advanced.
I don’t want to build this report from scratch. Is there any workaround to get it resolved?

Hi,
Just check it once the new added column data types are mismatched or not?
and the new added column should be navigated into excluded section, so u should edit the report and dragged into the table column section.
Thanks..

Adding a new column to an existing database table

How can I add a new column to an existing table (ex. dcs_product) and can anyone tell me the required configuration changes i may need to make.
Thanks in advance!

Adding new column to production database

I have to add a new timestamp column, that defaults to the current date/time, to an existing production database. The table is large - 150M records. I am trying to understand the ramifications of adding a new column to a table this large that gets hit often, mostly with inserts and reads. The column does allow null values and I am not going back and populating existing records with a value. Basically, I am looking for some best practice guidelines - how to prepare, what to expect, what other processes should be followed along with this schema update.

Thanks, I have not found any %TYPE or %ROWTYPE dependencies on the table I am altering. But at the same time I do not understand how these types of dependencies would invalidate packages. I wouldn't be breaking any %TYPE dependency because I am not dropping columns, only adding a new one. And according to documentation for %ROWTYPE - "If columns are later added to or dropped from the table, your code can keep working without changes." Can you point me to Oracle documentation that describes your concern in detail? Thanks.you can test it yourself

SQL> you should also consider the chance that some where if people are using "select * into" using this table, which will fail since you added new column. i don't see any unusual performance bottlenecks by adding a new column. in case of the backups, yes the earlier backups will not have the column. if you restore it, you will see earlier table structure itself. i have one specific question. why are you not attempting this in development/test environment first? even if it is a simple insert, it's always important to do it in test environments before attempting on production db. one thing for sure i know is, after adding column, you will have to recompile all the invalid dependencies. i think, it's better if you attempt it in test db and come up with any issues you see rather than asking a general question where problematic scenarios are plenty and rarely unknown before hand.

Adding the columns dynamically in crystal report

Hi,
I am developing a application using asp.net and crystal report. In a report the column is created dynamically( ie, the report gets input from a sp which returns N no. of columns). Since i dont know the column name and no. of columns at design time i am not able to create the report. If any of you have any idea on adding the columns dynamically please send me the code or the link.
Thanks

Impact of new column addition to existing database

Hi,
I have a business reqt where in the existing table, I have to add a new column. Yet it is not finalised whether the column is going to be nullalble or NOT NULL.
But I would need a help to judge where all the addition of new column in the existing Db can cause a impact.
I know few things but need to know the complete picture:
1. dependent SP's would get invalidated ( specially with INSERT statement)
2.
3...
..and all those.
Please help.
Regards,
Aashish S.

As Satish pointed out the locking issue - I once saw someone lock up a whole application for hours because they added a new column with a default value on a large table because that took a DDL level lock on the table.
Also, if people have coded their inserts properly (using column names and values) then you should not have any problems with the order of column names even though the column is added to the end, unless you use DBMS_REDEFINITION.

Standard process for creating a new version of an existing report

Hi All,
We are using Siebel 8.1 with BI Publisher.
Does any one know the standard process for creating a new version of an existing report - ie if 'BIP Report XXX' is created and works correctly from the siebel view but then an enhancement is developed, how is the enhancement deployed so that the new version completely replaces the old?
One suggestion was:
You can upload a new version of an existing report. You have to navigate to Administration - BIP > Report Template Registration... search for the report you need to replace (I would say that the new rtf file need to have the same name). Now you have to go to the "Template" column where there is the reference to the report file already uploaded but you don't have to click on the link that is displayed you have to click near the link in order to place the cursor on the field then you will be able to see the Multi Value Grup icon .. you click on it and you will be able to upload a new file.
We have tested this process today, however it is not effective in replacing the old version of the report.
After carrying out this process (including related steps from bookshelf - ie "click upload files"), we can generate the report from the relevant siebel view and the previous version of the report is still generated.
Is there a standard process for replacing an existing report that is effective?
Thanks.

Hi ,
This currently seems like a bug , we have encountered this too.
work around is you have to delete the rtf files from server Siebel\client\temp\XMLP directory and upload them again so that they are not cached any more.
same on dedicated client you may have to delete relavant files form siebel\client\temp\xmlp directory and upload again.
Thanks,

Need to add 2 new columns to the existing table control of C223 transaction

Hi ABAP Gurus,
I have to do a screen enhancement for transaction C223.
Below is the requirement:
need to add 2 new columns to the existing table control of C223 transaction.
there is no customer exits, screen exit or user exit present for this transaction C223, i have found one enhancement spot for this transaction.
i dont have any idea how to do this in standard transaction C223, the table control in C223 saves the data to MKAL table and the table control uses the structure MKAL_EXPAND in the screen program.
i have created an append structure for the 2 fields to the standard table MKAL.
Can anyone please suggest me how this can be done in standard screen C223, will the enhancement spot can be used to do this....
please sugest...
Thanks & Regards

Hi Santosh,

the BADI definition present here is a SAP internal so we cant implement the BADI , but we can created a enhancement spot implementation for this. as per my understanding on this the enhancement spot is only for making the table control fields display / change . i dont think this can be used to add two new coloumns to C223 table control.
I am not sure thats why seeking your help/valuable sugestion on this.
Please provide your sugestion on this , so that i can come to conclusion on this issue.
Thanks & Regards

How can I sync my ipad to a new compuer. My old computer which was used to sync the ipad is dead

How can I sync my ipad to a new computer. My old computer which was used to sync the ipad is dead?

https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it.

Since the last software update, I am unable to add new contacts or change existing contacts - neither if I use the green Phone app nor using the brown Contacts app. Any suggestions?

since the last software update, I am unable to add new contacts or change existing contacts - neither if I use the green Phone app nor using the brown Contacts app. Any suggestions?

*Update*
I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
"Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support" see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

Accessing a File within a zip, which was archived using Applet Tag

Hi,
Could Any one please tell me, How to Access a File from within an Applet. The File resides inside a zip which was Archived using <Applet> Tag.
Actually, I want to write an application which runs both online and offline. So I have chosen Applet and All the files Which I need are zipped and is Archived through <Applet ARCHIVE="example.zip">.
Now I want to access those XML files which are inside example.zip from my Applet.
How can I do that?
I think I will get security Exception.

Did you already try signing a jarfile? If no ->>
You can call a class inside a jar-file within the applet.
if this class should be able to acces files the jarfile
first has to be signed. to do this, you must generate a key.
the complete work:
1. write your applet
2. write a html-page with following code:
<APPLET code="guestbook.class" archive="guestbook.jar" width=600 height=400></APPLET>
3. make a zip-file with the guestbook.class, guestbook.form, guestbook$1.class, guestbook$... and rename it to guestbook.jar
4. in the console type:
keytool -genkey -alias YOURNAME
5. sign the key to your jarfile with:
jarsigner guestbook.jar YOURNAME
6. try the applet. a warning should appear which you have to answer
with YES then it should work
my trouble is that i cant acces files anyway because right now i don�t
alreadv have the clue to get the right (absolute?) path for the file. means i get an ioexception because the applet cant find the file :-((
does anyone know how to solve this problem then? my code is:
FileReader Stream = new FileReader("/members/Ui97u8g4f6b89mj90kh5gbr4ecf6KXC4/guestbook.txt");

I have recently updated m iPhone 4 which was not used since months. It has to be updated from5.1.4 to iOS 7.0.4 and it has taken more than 15 hours to get started. Plz help me. It took about 5 to 6 hrs to prepare for updating.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

I lost my Iphone 3GS. My brother has given me his Iphone 4 now. We both use the same notebook to update and sync our phones. I would like to know how can i reconnect back to my account using the Iphone which was previous used by my brother.

If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.
