Best Way to Determine if a Table is used in a Report?

Hello,
I'm looking to modify an existing report developed by someone previously employed. I believe they are joining unneeded tables and I'd like to remove them. Is there a method that is useful to determine if a table/view is not being used in the report?
Just looking for any suggestions/advice on how to handle this.
Thanks,

Hi Trey,
Try this.
In your report just goto field explorer ->database fields.
It will the command objects/tables that are added in your report.
If you want see which command object/table used in your report just expand those and check any of the fields belongs to the command objects contains a tick mark .
If there is a tick mark the fields that means the fields are using in that report.

Best way to deal with Mutating table exception with Row Level Triggers

Hello,
It seems to be that the best way to deal with Mutating Table exception(s) is to have to put all the trigger code in a package & use it in conjunction with a Statement level trigger .
This sounds quite cumbersome to me . I wonder is there any alternative to dealing with Mutating table exceptions ?
With Regards

Best way to outer join a table that is doing a sub query

RDBMS : 11.1.0.7.0
Hello,
What is the best way to outer join a table that is doing a sub query? This is a common scenario in EBS for the date tracked tables.
SELECT papf.full_name, fu.description
FROM fnd_user fu
      ,per_all_people_f papf
WHERE fu.user_id = 1772
   AND fu.employee_id = papf.person_id(+)
   AND papf.effective_start_date = (SELECT MAX( per1.effective_start_date )
                                      FROM per_all_people_f per1
                                     WHERE per1.person_id = papf.person_id)Output:
No output produced because the outer join cannot be done on the sub queryIn this case I did a query in the FROM clause. Is this my best option?
SELECT papf.full_name, fu.description
FROM fnd_user fu
      ,(SELECT full_name, person_id
          FROM per_all_people_f papf
         WHERE papf.effective_start_date = (SELECT MAX( per1.effective_start_date )

                                             WHERE per1.person_id = papf.person_id)) papf
WHERE fu.user_id = 1772
   AND fu.employee_id = papf.person_id(+)Output:

I think RANK suits the requirements better than ROW_NUMBER:

     SELECT papf.full_name

     ,     RANK () OVER ( PARTITION BY papf.person_id

     FROM             fnd_user             fu
     LEFT OUTER JOIN      per_all_people_f papf ON fu.employee_id = papf.person_id
     WHERE   fu.user_id = 1772
SELECT     full_name
,     description
FROM     all_matches
WHERE     r_num     = 1
Johnnie: I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.

Best way to determine insertion order of items in cache for FIFO?

I want to implement a FIFO queue. I plan on one producer placing unprocessed Orders into a cache. Then multiple consumers will each invoke an EntryProcessor which gets the oldest unprocessed order, sets it processed=true and returns it. What's the best way to determine the oldest object based on insertion order? Should I timestamp the objects with a trigger when they're added to the cache and then index by that value? Or is there a better way? maybe something coherence automatically saves when objects are inserted? Also, it's not critical that the processing order be precisely FIFO, close is good enough.
Also, since the consumer won't know the key value for the object it will receive, how could the consumer call something like this so it doesn't violate Constraints on Re-entrant Calls? http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH34UG/Constraints+on+Re-entrant+Calls
Thanks,
Andrew

Ok, I think I can see where you are coming from now...
By using a queue for each for each FIX session then you will be experiencing some latency as data is pushed around inside the cluster between the 'owning node' for the order and the location of the queue; but if this is acceptable then great. The number of hops within the cluster and hence the latency will depend on where and how you detect changes to your orders. The advantage of assiging specific orders to each queue is that this will not change should the cluster rebalance; however you should consider what happens if the node controlling a specific FIX session is lost - do you recover from FIX log? If so where is that log kept? Remember to consider what happens if your cluster splits, such that the node with the FIX session is still alive, but is separated from the rest of the cluster. In examining these failure cases you may decide that it is easier to use Coherence's in-built partitioning to assign orders to sessions father than an attribute of order object.
snidely_whiplash wrote:
Only changes to orders which result in a new order or replace needing to be sent cause an action by the FIX session. There are several different mechanisms you could use to detect changes to your orders and hence decide if they need to be enqueued:
1. Use a post trigger that is fired on order insert/update and performs the filtering of changes and if necessary adds the item to the FIX queue
2. Use a cache store that does the same as (1)
3. Use an entry processor to perform updates to the order object (as I believe you previously mentioned) and performs logic in (1)
4. Use a CQC on the order cache
5. A map listener on the order cache
The big difference between 1-3 and 4, 5 is that the CQC is i) a SPOF ii) not likely located in the same place as your order object or the queue (assuming that queue is in fact an object in another cache), iii) asynchronously fired hence introducing latency. Also note that the CQC will store your order objects locally whereas a map listener will not.
(1) and (3) will give you access to both old and new values should that be necessary for your filtering logic.
Note you must be careful not to make any re-entrant calls with any of 1-3. That means if you are adding something to a FIX queue object in another cache (say using an entry processor) then it should be on a different cache service.
snidely_whiplash wrote:
If I move to a CacheStore based setup instead of the CQC based one then any change to an order, including changes made when executions or rejects return on the FIX session will result in the store() method being called which means it will be called unnecessarily a lot. It would be nice if I could specify the CacheStore only store() certain types of changes, ie. those that would result in sending a FIX message. Anything like that possible?There is negligible overhead in Coherence calling your store() method; assuming that your code can decide if anything FIX-related needs to be done based only on the new value of the order object then this should be very fast indeed.
snidely_whiplash wrote:
What's a partitioned "token cache"?This is a technique I have used in the past for running services. You create a new partitioned cache into which you place 'tokens' representing a user-defined service that needs to be run. The insertion/deletion of a token in the backing map fires a backing map listener to start/stop a service +(not there are 2 causes of insert/delete in a backing map - i) a user ii) cluster repartitioning)+. In this case that service might be a fix session. If you need to designate a specific member on which a service needs to run then you could add the member id to the token object; however you must be careful that unless you write your own partitioning strategy the token will likely not live on the same cache member as the token indicates; in which case you would want a ful map listener or CQC to listen for tokens rather than a backing map listener
I hope that's useful rather than confusing!

What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi? I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks! That is a very good question you post. My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at. My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions! But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!

Best way to achieve multiple paths with quizzes using Captivate 6?

I’m looking for the best way to achieve multiple paths and quizzes using Captivate 6.
Here is the scenario: The learner watches general slides 1 – 3 and then chooses between Path A, Path B, or both paths combined. If they choose Path A then they watch the A portion only and take the A Quiz only. Same happens for Path B and for the two paths combined. The learner would only have to go one path to complete the course.
What I’m finding is Captivate only has one Quiz results page (even if you create two separate quizzes, it merges them). I was trying to avoid having three separate projects for the same module to keep it simple. I see if I have three separate projects I could use the Multi-SCO Packager to merge them for use on my Moodle LMS. But wait, I don't have the elearning suite, so I don't have access to the Multi-SCO Packager...
My question is: What is the best approach way to accomplish this goal? Any recommendations?

Captivate 6 has Branch Aware quizzing. Turn on that option in Quiz Settings and then your Quiz Results page should only show results for the branch your user visits.

Hey!!! I am a 1E engineer and MVP... we started the power management movement with our very first software product, created around 12 or so years ago, called 1E WakeUp. The complete solution which manages power on (integrated with SCCM, or stand alone if
you are not an SCCM shop) and power off (under a tightly controlled process) is called
NightWatchman
Here is a
recent blog post I authored that was the last in a series documenting the entire wake-up process including how it integrates with SCCM or stood up standalone. It contains links to those earlier posts that explain our entire technology, so you will likely
want to read all of them in order for a full understanding of our technology. It works incredibly well, is the most mature solution in the industry, and is extremely simple to install with minimal resources.

I need to organize medical photos. They are pre-op and post-op photos. What is the best way to organize them. should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble.

I need to organize medical photos. They are pre-op and post-op photos. What is the best way to organize them? should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble? Since they occur on different days, organizing by event does not seem appropriate. Also, organizing by face is not always possible as some are close up photos of an individual eye. Surely, this has been done before, and I don't want to spin my wheels reinventing this.

Who can tell with that amount of information to work with?
iPhoto is not limited to Events or Faces as organizational tools - Albums, Keywords, various forms of metadata can be leveraged for use as well, and these are often more flexible. Really it's up to you to look at the tools available and see if they suit your usage scenario.

How is the best way to manage the stats table?

Hello!
I have the Integration 2.1 working with an Oracle 8.1.7 db. I noticed that the table
STATS is growing pretty fast.
How is the best way to manage this table?... I haven't found something related with
this issue in the documentation, but at least I want to know how to safely delete
records from this table.
For example, if I know the minimal time I have to keep in the table, is quite simple
to create a shell script and/or Oracle pl/sql job to trim the table.
I hope somebody can help me!!!!

Best way to determine if JMS server is alive in a cluster

Can anyone give me an idea on the best way to find out if a JMS server
          in a cluster
          has failed so I can signal migration to another server in the cluster.
          Thanks Larry

Hallo Larry,
          you can go via JMX and retrieve the according RuntimeMBeans in order to
          check the health state of the
          JMSServer resp. the server hosting the JMSServer. If they are not available
          or failed you can trigger the
          migration. At least that's the way I'm doing it...

Best way to update an OLTP table ?

Hi,
We have an OLTP table with huge data.
We need to update a status column from 'N' to 'Y' for almost 70% of rows based on some condition.
This table may be accessed by hundreds of sessions at a time.
So, what is the best way to do the same.
Rgds,

if someone is using the table, ddl cannot be done (or at least you would have to wait maybe a long time)

Best way to determine if document is truly unsaved

Is there a preferred method for determining whether a file is truly unsaved? I'm distinguishing between files that have have been saved and then had some changes made to them (but have a valid name and filePath) and files that have just been created during this session and have not been saved anywhere (other than a temp directory). The only thing I can think of is checking whether an error is thrown by the filePath property; is this really the best way?
(I have looked into both the saved and modified properties, but neither provide this information I am looking for. In theory I could check the name property to see if it starts with "Untitled" but there's nothing stopping a user from actually calling a file that so I'd rather not.)
Quick background: I have a script that lets a user browse to some files and get information about them. Files should be closed after processing, unless of course they were open to begin with. So, I do a check of each file against the documents open when the script starts running and set a flag. Just want to make sure that there isn't a better solution than catching the error.
Brief code:
    var openDocs = app.documents.everyItem().getElements();
    for (var i = 0; i < funcDocs.length; i++)
        var funcDoc = funcDocs[i];
        var fileInUse = false;
        if (funcDoc instanceof File)
            if (openDocs.length == 0) {fileInUse = false;}
            else
                for (var f = 0; f < openDocs.length; f++)
                    try{
                         openDocs[f].filePath;
                    }catch(e){continue;}
                    if (openDocs[f].name == funcDoc.name && openDocs[f].filePath == funcDoc.path)
                        fileInUse = true;
                        break;
            var openDoc = app.open(funcDoc, false, 1147563124);
        else
            var openDoc = funcDoc;
            fileInUse = true;
       //Do something...
        if (fileInUse == false) {openDoc.close();}
I guess I'm looking for a bit of a sanity check that I'm not missing some more straightforward method here. Thanks in advance!

Best way to load data in table from combination of Table and flat file?

Hi All,
Could you please share your thoughts on best way of achieving this objective -
Flat File - 15 Million records (Field A,B,C)
Table A - 15 Million records ( Field A,D)
Objective -
Load Field A,B,C,D in Table B from Flat file and Table A.
Data can be loaded from flat file in Table B then updated from Table A but this update operation is taking lot of time. (Intermediate Commit, Bulk operations already tried)
Regards,
Dark Knight

Environment -
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
Tables are analyzed.
Indexes are their.
Update statement using the index.
Data is close to 200 MB.
I am interested in knowing if there are alternate ways of doing this, other than conventional way of loading data then updating it.
