Alias field not "sticking"

I've defined a BIP data set using an OBIEE data model. I can change the column Aliases in the Query Builder - Conditions screen. They show up in the SQL Query box on the Data Set page. But if I go back into the Query Builder, the aliases are all gone.
Can someone please confirm this bug, or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Before you ask, YES, I'm saving immediately after every step.
I'm also periodically (but not predictably) getting an error popup that says "Illegal character found in the alias". This happens from time to time when I click on an Alias column which I haven't even touched previously - it's the default Alias from the column name. Any suggestions on that little irritant would also be welcome.

Hi
I think that BIP issues the logical sql to the BIServer. BIServer then retrieves and formats the data into XML and sends it back ie the aliases are at best ignored by the BIServer and might be what is causing your intermittent error.
Ill try and confirm with the dev team
Regards
Tim

Field or table alias is not allowed as an input of table functions

Hi,
I am trying to invoke a user defined table function through a SQL snippet like below.
SELECT (SELECT * FROM PKG_ORG_ORG_HAS_CHILDREN(org_id)) has_child
from PA_ORG_OWNER
where stud_id = 'np1';
But for some reason it will not accept column name as an IN parameter
Could not execute 'SELECT (SELECT * FROM PKG_ORG_ORG_HAS_CHILDREN(org_id)) has_child from PA_ORG_OWNER os where ...' in 2 ms 451 µs .
SAP DBTech JDBC: [7] (at 47): feature not supported: field or table alias is not allowed as an input of table functions: line 1 col 48 (at pos 47)
In general our product has a LOT of small Oracle PL/SQL functions that are invoked from SQL within application code. This is a huge bottleneck while migrating to HANA. Any best practice anyone can recommend for this issue?
-Thanks

Hi nphana,
Instead of using single function, you can create another function and Invoke the function and can use IN parameter.
Here is the example:
CREATE FUNCTION RAJ.MY_FUNC (I_VKORG NVARCHAR (4), I_VTWEG NVARCHAR (2),
             I_SPART NVARCHAR (2), I_PARVW NVARCHAR (2), I_PARZA NVARCHAR (3) )
RETURNS TABLE (KUNNR NVARCHAR (10))
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT AS
BEGIN
RETURN
SELECT "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".KUNNR FROM "ECC2HANA"."KNVP"
   WHERE "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".VKORG = :I_VKORG
     AND "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".VTWEG = :I_VTWEG
     AND "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".SPART = :I_SPART
     AND "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".PARVW = :I_PARVW
     AND "ECC2HANA"."KNVP".PARZA = :I_PARZA
END
SELECT * FROM RAJ.MY_FUNC('7500','10','00','AG','000');
Result is shown below:
Now I created another function so that I can use the result set of above function which is used as criteria for some other table.
I not used any input parameter for second function but can be used if required.
CREATE FUNCTION RAJ.FUNC_MY_FUNC ( )
RETURNS TABLE (NAME1 NVARCHAR (35))
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT AS
BEGIN
RETURN
SELECT "ECC2HANA"."KNA1".NAME1 FROM "ECC2HANA"."KNA1"
WHERE "ECC2HANA"."KNA1".KUNNR IN (SELECT * FROM RAJ.MY_FUNC('7500','10','00','AG','000'));
END;
Result is shown below:
Similarly you can do for your requirement.

Raj

HT5656 This is all great but for me the "IPv6 Delegated Prefix" field never sticks. After the reboot to apply the settings, it is empty again. I have tried the 6.2 Airport Utility on OS X 10.8.2 and the iOS Airport Utility. Any ideas?

Hi All,
   I had a working IPv6 tunnel with my Airport Express to tunnelbroker.net using the 7.6.1 firmware. After updating to 7.6.3, I have tried many things to get it to work and the only one that works is downgrading from 7.6.3 back to 7.6.1. After seeing this new technical note, it appears that the root of my issue is that I can not get the "IPv6 Delegated Prefix" field to stick - it is always empty after the reboot to apply the settings.
   Any ideas?
     Thanks,
       CraigN

I'm in the same boat with a 3rd Gen AEBS. Only thing I haven't tried is a complete reset and reconfiguration from nothing, which I may wind up doing this afternoon just to rule it out. The best irony of all of this is that tunnelbroker.net is under my responsibility, and I can't validate the new settings paradigm. At least getting back to 7.6.1 is easy enough and everything works fine there.
IPv6 Delegated prefix doesn't get saved when using the format from their example, then a 6to4 address shows up as the local address on the main Internet page, and no RAs are received once the AEBS comes back from a reload. Something's a little off on this release.

Problem using alias field names in a sql query

Hello,
I have a question regarding a simple Oracle database SQL query writeup:
In the following (badly written but properly working) SQL query:
Query 1:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
(soe.field5 - (soe.field2 + soe.field3)) as field6,
(select comp.parValue*soe.field7
from
CompTable comp) as parValue,
(select soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
from
CompTable comp) as field10
from
SomeTable soe
PROBLEM 1:
I am re writing the code (soe.field2 + soe.field3) to get the alias field4 or column name field4 that I have created on the fly in the previously for use with the following fields. Can't I rewrite the query as follows. There is something simple missing!
Query 2:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
soe.field5 - field4 as field6, <<< field4 does not work here
(select
comp.parValue*soe.field7
from
CompTable comp) as parValue,
(select
soe.field8 - (comp.parValue*soe.field7+ soe.field9)
from
CompTable comp) as field10
from
SomeTable soe
PROBLEM 2:
Similar to the above problem, I was thinking to get a field parValue out of the CompTable table and re-use many times rather than the code shown in Query 1:
Query 3:
select
soe.field1,
(soe.field2 + soe.field3) as field4,
soe.field5 - field4 as field6,
soe.field7* (select comp.parValue from CompTable comp) as parValue1,
soe.field8 - (parValue1*soe.field7+ soe.field9) as field10 <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
parValue1*soe.field9 as TaxCondition <<<< parvalue1 does not work here
from
SomeTable soe
See that the query becomes so simple, but the above query does not work. There is something fundamentally wrong in my usage of the alias field names in creating other fields. The Query1 seems to be the only working option but its very slow as I am redoing and re-writing the whole code again and again to get the parValue field out of the CompTable table for use to create many other fields.
I will appreciate if you can guide me in the right direction on this issue.
Thanks and Regards

Email workflow showing domain and alias and not the name in the email

I created an email workflow for a specific user field value to receive an email on a trigger event.
However, the email received shows the DOMAIN/Alias and not the "Name" in the email content.
How to correct this error? Not sure where is the issue is.
Sample:
Hello [%Current Item: Reviewer%] is the greeting line.
If Reviewer is say Domain A/v-abcd and Name is Abcd.
The email reads
"Hello Domain A/v-abcd" and not "Hello Abcd"

Hi,
Just select "Display Name" instead of "Login Name" in the "Return field as" field of Lookup dialog.
It should help.

Spaces not "sticking"

Not a big deal, but I noticed since SL that a couple of my programs are not sticking to their assigned "Space."
For example, both ICal and Mail are assigned to space one, but they keep going over to Space two. The assignments are still on Space One (and I am not moving them over manually).
Any ideas?
Thanks,

My experience with the problem being described in some of the posts is as follows:
Opening a Pages document from the Finder window (Pages is assigned to space 5. Finder window in this example is in space 1)
1. If Pages is not open - double-clicking the document will open Pages, move me to space 5, and display the document (as expected).
2. If Pages is open - double-clicking (alt-click Open With) the document will open the document in my current space (space 1 in this example) - not expected at all.
Another issue, even more odd/annoying:
This has to do with dialog windows. ex. PhotoShop (space 2), DreamWeaver (space 1). Attempting to change hexadecimal code in DreamWeaver file to match a PhotoShop color. Open the color picker in PhotoShop -> copy the hex-code (color picker still open) -> switch to space 1 via keyboard -> here's the strangeness.
Sometimes - clicking on the DreamWeaver document will send me back to space 2 automatically: at which point I cannot close/select the color picker window - unless I enter expose and come out of it - even then, sometimes clicking on the color picker results in flipping back to space 1 - at which point entering spaces view (where all spaces are visible) and selecting space 2 usually fixes the issue).
Other times - I can edit the DreamWeaver document just fine, but when I go back to PhotoShop I still have to enter expose and come out of it to close the color picker (see above).
Another example would be pasting things from eMail (space 4) into a web browser (space 1). If you're familiar with drop-in menus to login to a server which requires username and password (not a web form - but a dialog box) you might be able to try this yourself:
Opening the eMail from Mail. Select the desired text -> command+c -> keyboard shortcut (option+arrow up - for this example) -> navigate to website with dialog -> set username field active -> command+v -> option+arrow down (space 4) -> select new text -> command+c -> option+arrow up (space 1), dialog box is still open, make password field active -> automatically get shifted back to space 4.
Again, this is a bit more of a hassle (because I have dialog boxes open in a lot of programs and copy and paste between applications & spaces a lot), but the other issue would probably be easier to isolate and fix.

Enhanced Datasource fields not getting displayed in Transformation

Hi,
Eventhough after replicating the datasource, the Enhanced Datasource fields not getting displayed in Transformation.
Eg I have done mapping of 6 fields in transformation from datasource to DSO
Now the datasource is enhanced with 8 fields...........The transformation is not showing the added 2 fields
I am deleting the existing transformation.Is this the only solution?
Kindly suggest your answers.
Thanks,
Sonu.

HI,
Deleting is not solution as it is common scnerio.
Go to the data source in BW and in change mode check the option "transfer" for this two fields and then see if its coming or not.
Thanks

Fields not getting displayed in AdvancedTable

I have created AdvancedTable region following the steps given in help of Jdeveloper.
Under advancedTable I have created 3 columns, one having a messageChoice item and rest two items are messageTextInput.I have set the ViewObject property of AdvancedTable and have also set the viewAttributes for items.
But when I run the page, It does not display any fields of AdvancedTable. It just gives the table outline and text that is set for table empty property.
I have also executed the VO in processRequest of page's controller.
What could be the reason for the fields not been displayed?
Thanks in advance,
Mitiksha

You should provide the ability to create rows, you can do it on the table by making the table editable and putting a Add another row or you can choose to add it in a drill down create page.
You can also add a set of new rows initially by creating and inserting rows in the vo in your PR.

Text Fields Not Showing in Design or Live View

Hello Everyone,
I have run into a problem trying to create a simple contact form through Dreamweaver CS6. I have two text fields for Name & Email, and 1 text area for Comments. The issue I am running into is that the text fields are not showing in Design or Live view. I have set-up all variables required for the server for the form to work... but that should not have any effect on the text field showing... I tried uploading my contact page with the same result of no text fields showing...
What is really laughable is that the "text area" I placed in my form for Comments shows up in Design & Live view just fine. I am thinking that I am missing something, but just do not know what exactly. The form is styled through CSS.
Here is the form code:
     <div id="CRDForm">
       <form action="http://www.sweetformimi.com/formmail/formmail.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="contact" target="_self" id="contact">
    <input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT,AUTH_TYPE,REMOTE_USER">
    <input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="[email protected]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Contact Form" />
         <label><p>Your Full Name
           <input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" size="40" /></p>
         </label>
         <label><p>Email
         <input name="email" type="text" accesskey="2" tabindex="2" title="Email" value="Email"></p>
         </label>
         <label>Comments<br />
         <textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="10" accesskey="3" tabindex="3" title="Comments"></textarea>
         </label>
         <input name="submit" type="submit" accesskey="4" tabindex="4" title="submit" value="submit">
       </form>
    </div>
Are there other variables I should be thinking about in the rest of my site? I am using a fluid grid layout. I have CSS for desktop, tablet, and phone devices. I also have a primary CSS file that imports all three. The sites structure was done by using <header>, <article>, <footer>, and of course <div> tags.
Has anyone ever experienced the "text fields" not showing up before? Is it a simple fix as reinstalling Dreamweaver CS6? Finally, another thing I should mention is that I did have a previous version of Dreamweaver on my comp, which was CS3. I did not uninstall that before installing the newer version. I assumed (and I could be wrong here) that it would automatically replace the older version.
I apoligize for it being long winded, but I am looking for some help on this issue...
Thank You

Hey thank you osgood for the reply!
When I look at code for long hours it sort of blurs together, and I miss things... I think that happens to the most of us
Ya I found what was blocking my text fields in my desktop.css
I primarily work through code view, and currently working on quite a few projects kind of makes your eyes miss the small errors.
Thanks again!

Sharepoint 2013 Active Directory Import- Manager field not updating

Hi,
SharePoint 2013 Active directory import -Manager field not updating
Concern/Issue-
We are using SharePoint and configured the Active Directory Import .First import it seems everything is working fine and OOB Organization chart built using User profile data is coming out right.
Now the user is moved from one Organization Unit to Another.
Now our Manager field is not Updating .There is change in AD manager attribute but not reflecting in the SharePoint User profile.
Manger field is mapped to "manager" attribute in SharePoint.
We tried removing the user and Re-Import using Incremental import but no luck.
Thanks for help in advance
Sachin

Moving a user from one OU to another in AD won't normally change the Manager attribute in AD. You would need to edit the user's organization settings to change the manager value in AD. I've also seen these changes not be picked up unless something
other than just the manager field in AD changing. Try changing something like Office location and see if the manager change is picked up by AD Import.

My app went from working fine to: Id field not defined for cfc Path.to.my.ORMCfCPag when I restarted

Hi everyone,
I have a CF9 ORM problem that I haven't been able to figure out and thought I'd see if you had any idea. I have seen a few postings talking about a "similar" problem but none of them correctly resolved this particular issue. I appreciate any help you can offer.
I recently created a CF9 app where I generated scripted ORM CFCs for my app using ColdFusion Builder. It worked great and my app was completely working. However, when I was adding some enhancements, I ran into an error when I restarted the CF app server. Here's the message I keep getting:
"Id field not defined for cfc Path.to.my.ORMCfCPage. Either the table should have a PK column mapped to a cfc field OR at least one field should be specified as id."
My App.cfc file only had orm enabled (no other mappings) when it was working. I've since tried specifying things like the cfc location etc. and it still hasn't helped.
// MORE DETAILS:
- When my app was working, I had moved it to 2 other servers. I had this error on both of those but not on my local copy. They all use the exact same database.
- The last change I made before the error was adding a generator="identity" field to my generated ORM beans. Once I got the message, I tried changing it back and restarting again but still got the error.
- I've also made sure all of the Adobe tags are in my web root (as suggested in a prior posting about this problem). I've search all over for a solution and nobody has a solution posted online that works so far.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks!
Jeff

Quick thought and probably not relevant, but do you have this.ormsettings.savemapping set to true in your Application.cfc? I've fallen foul of this before - once CF has generated the hbmxml files and saved them to disk you can make all kinds of changes to your code which won't make a difference as it'll continue to read from the file versions, but only for certain properties and methods at times it seems.
Long shot I know, but I found CF ORM to be a nightmare for seemingly random caching.

LM13: Verification field not cleared after [Enter] key

Hi Experts,
I'm facing the issue as stated in the OSS note 916654 - LM13: Verification field not cleared after [Enter] key. My current system is ECC, that is why the OSS is already applied to the ECC version. But the problem is, i still faced the problem stated in the OSS.
Symptom
In customizing:
- You have defined [ENTER] in destination screen 302 to SAVE items.
- You want to verify the destination bin information.
You use 'Confirm Transfer Order Clustered' RF transaction LM13.
You scan several SUs and press enter.
You press [F4-Next pushbutton] to confirm the associated TO(s).
In the destination screen 302, you scan the verification value for the first item and press [ENTER] key.
==> The item is confirmed correctly but when the system proposes the next item, the verification value of the first item is displayed.
Anyone know how to fix this issue? Pls help.
thanks

PKUNRE field not getting populated in 2LIS_13_VDITM after ECC upgrade

Hi,
We are seeing blank values for PKUNRE / 0BILLTOPARTY during extraction from 2LIS_13_VDITM.
We are experiencing this issue after ECC upgrade which went live recently.
We have applied note 580694 to correct missing fields in the billing extractor.
This field is sourced from VBPA/VBRP.
Our functional teams confirmed that VBPA/VBRP are updated properly and there seems to be no timing issue.
However, the record is landing in PSA with blank BILLTOPARTY.
Where could the problem be?
Is there any thing we missed?
Can any one throw some light if you have experienced this kind of an issue after upgrade.
Thanks a ton in advance,
Sandy.

Hi Sandy:
In my system I didn't find the Field PKUNRE on the VBPA / VBRP Tables, so my guess is that you're dealing with a Custom Enhancement, if this is the case the SAP Note 576886 - "Change to user-defined fields not extracted" might help you in solving this issue.
Regards,
Francisco Milán.
***Follow up note:
I double checked and found the Field PKUNRE on the Extract Structure for 2LIS_13_VDITM (using Transaction Code LBWE) so now I know that you're working with a Standard field and not with a custom ehnancement, the SAP Notes below address a similar issue to yours but they are related to Applications 11 and 12, not for App 13. I apologize for the confusion.
Note 621684 - "Fields PKUNRE and PKUNRG are not filled from delivery"
Note 379237 - "BW Content LE-SHP: missing partners in 2LIS_12_VCITM"

How to add a code so my drag and drop movie clip will not stick once it is dragged to final place o

Hello all and kglad, I have to use the old drag and drop code on my movie clips, but the problem is when I drag the movieclip to the area on my .swf file once i release it, it sticks to the hand mover.
I am encloseing the action script I am using could someone or kglad tell me what is missing from the code so that once it is released it will not stick, see code below
circle.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this);
circle.onRelease = function(){
stopDrag();
I am desparate for help on this must get project ready for this afternoon
Seal55

there's nothing wrong with that code but it would be better to use:
circle.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
circle.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
but that won't solve your problem. there must be something else going on like a depth issue. you may need to use swapDepths() to bring your circle under the mouse when releasing.
