BW - problem with formula variable (date format)

Hi,
(sorry if I'm using different term than yours.. this is my 2nd query.. still new with BW)
I need to create 1 query: Support Message Aging Report.
Basically it will have 5 columns: Not Due, 0 Day, 1 Day, 2-10 Days, >10 Days.
and 1 input selection is: key date.
the formula is: number of aging day = key date - due date.
I have no issue on the 1st and 2nd column. For that I just create 1 customer exit.
My problem is on how to separate the over due support message by day (due date < key date).
I tried create 2 formula variable for key date and due date. Then from these 2 vars, I can get the number of days.
Problem comes when the calculation is cross month/year. I suspect maybe because the return from the formula var is in number format and not date... yyyymmdd. Then, I change the dimensions from number to date.. it is working for key date.. dd.mm.yyyy.
but for the due date, I got problem... it keeps give me warning saying: value 'D' invalid for property dimension of element etc.///
below are details for both formula variable.. please advice which area should I fix or maybe you can suggest any good idea for my query.. thanks so much
1. ZKEYDATE - customer exit (value input data) - dimensions date - NO ISSUE (OUTPUT: dd.mm.yyyy)
2. ZDUEDATE - replacement path (ref char ZBW02C08) - replacement rule: infoobject, key - dimension date - GOT WARNING...
ZBW02C08: contains due date and the type is date: yyyymmdd

If I were you, I'd try two things:
best way - have the infoprovider changed to have a new key figure for the number of days difference
- to do this with formulae (especially crossing months and years - what about leap years) is hard to maintain and develop
other way - make a virtual key figure - i did this once but I forget how exactly. There's a userexit or BADI somewhere which can be used for this.
Either of these ways allows the calculation to be done in ABAP itself where date1 - date2 gives you the number of days difference.
By the way though, this is in the wrong forum. I'd bet if this was in a BI forum, you'd have an answer already.

Hi,
here is some idea.. here i have taken expample dates 1)notification creation date and 2) notification completion.
1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.
regards....KP

BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

Dear experts,
I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100
To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
(The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
PO1 -> 150
PO2 -> 90
PO3 -> 80
Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref characteristic 'constant =1' ...
Any though is welcome!
thanks

Hi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

Presentation Variables Date Format

Hi,
I have a direct sql request that uses date presentation variables via a dashboard prompt:
Direct SQL:
select id, customer
from test
where date between @startdate and @enddate
If I enter startdate '31/03/2013 00:00:00' in the dashboard prompt selection:
OBIEE converts the above query into database date format:
'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
The database is in date format DD-MON-YYY, this results in error ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
can anyone help with where the date format should be set?
Thanks

There are different levels of users on this forum so you need to be more specific and provide examples to novice users....I want user to think on given hints and fix by himself instead of detailed with examples, this would help user to learn and think in new dimensions instead of depending on any one.
Sometimes I'll be responding more detail based on their registered date with OTN and # posts posted.
in your case my hint not fired!! so no full points ;)

How can I debug a problem with the 3g data connection on my iPhone 4s?

This question didn't get any answers in the "Using iPhone" forum. Thought I would re-ask here. Note, I had to reset the network again today 2 days after the last reset:
I've been having intermittent problems with my 3g data connection on my iPhone 4s on ATT. Whenever this happens I see full bars etc, but can't browse from safari or get any data in other apps. My wife's iPhone 4 right next to me has no issues at all. Switching on/off airplane mode and turning off/on Cellular Data does not help. The only thing that helps is resetting the Network Settings or hard restarting the phone.
I figured my problems were hardware related so I took my phone in for a replacement the other day. Things started out fine but after I upgraded it to 5.01 and restored my backup and now I am back to having the same issue today. I assume the issue is with something coming from my backup / restore but is there any way for me to pinpoint what could be causing the issue. I have a lot of apps, I'd rather not have to reinstall and set them all backup manually, but I would if I knew that would fix the problem... but for all I know one of the apps could be causing it.
Anyone have any logs I can check or testing I can do on my end?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Apple does not make any logs available to the average schmoe (like us) for networking, kernel dumps, or anything else (assuming, of course, it is not jailbroken).
Your best bet is to take it back into the store. Ask them to look at the notes in GCRM regarding the last time this occured, then explain after upgrading to 5.01 it is occuring again. Then ask them for a phone swap since it is a reoccuring issue and doesn't sound like an OS/SW issue. Good luck!

Problem with displaying chart data

Hello everybody,
I have problem with displaying chart data correctly. I'm using a cartesian chart with DateTimeAxis. The stockdata I'm using is for half a year and
with ticks for every day. The problem is, that Flex displays the data of february in march together with the data of march. I have added a picture
to show the result. The second column of the grid is for february and the third for march.
Could anybody help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,
thanks for your reply. Here you get the source code:
The following method creates the LineChart:
        public function init():void
            model.upperChart = this;
            model.upperChartStyle.setChartViewStyle(this);
            this.hAxis = new MyDateTimeAxis();
            model.upperChartData.configureHAxis(this.hAxis);
            this.vAxis = new LinearAxis();
            model.upperChartData.configureVAxis(this.vAxis);
            this.vAxisTitle = new Label();
            this.vAxisTitle.text = model.upperChartData.getVAxisTitle();
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisTitleLabelStyle(this.vAxisTitle);
            this.vAxisTitle.x = 10
            this.vAxisTitle.y = 0;
            this.addChild(this.vAxisTitle);
            this.myChart = new CartesianChart();
            //remove default datatip
            this.myChart.showDataTips = false;
            this.myChart.x = 10;
            this.myChart.y = 0;
            this.myChart.width = 768;
            this.myChart.height = 196;
            model.upperChartStyle.setChartStyle(this.myChart);
            this.addChild(this.myChart);
            //Remove line shadow
            this.myChart.seriesFilters = null;
            this.myChart.horizontalAxis = this.hAxis;
            this.myChart.verticalAxis = this.vAxis;
            this.hAxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer();
            model.upperChartData.configureHAxisRenderer(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.hAxisRenderer.axis = this.hAxis;
            model.upperChartStyle.setHAxisRendererStyle(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.myChart.horizontalAxisRenderers.push(this.hAxisRenderer);
            this.vAxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer();
            model.upperChartData.configureVAxisRenderer(this.vAxisRenderer);
            this.vAxisRenderer.axis = this.vAxis;
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisRendererStyle(this.vAxisRenderer);
            this.myChart.verticalAxisRenderers.push(this.vAxisRenderer);
            model.upperChartStyle.setVAxisDataLabelStyle(this.vAxisMinLabel);
            this.addChild(this.vAxisMinLabel);
            model.upperChartStyle.setSeriesStyle(model.upperChartData.series, model.upperChartData.shares);
            this.myChart.dataProvider = model.upperChartData.dataProvider;
            this.myChart.series = model.upperChartData.series;
The data for dataprovider and series you can see in attached file dataprovider.xml.
xfield is equivalent to timestamp
yfield is equivalent to absolute
I think the problem could be the configuration of the datetimeaxis. The following method shows the parameter for the datetimeaxis:
        public function configureHAxis(axis:MyDateTimeAxis):void
            axis.parseFunction = UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date;
            axis.dataUnits = "days";
            axis.dataInterval = 1;
            axis.title = "";
            axis.minimum = new Date(UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date("2009-01-07 00:00:00").time);
            axis.maximum = new Date(UtilityClass.parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date("2009-07-06 00:00:00").time);
And finally you get the function, that I'm using for string to date conversion:
        public static function parseYYYYMMDDHHNNSSString2Date(input:String):Date
            var result:Date = new Date();
            var year:Number = Number(input.substring(0,4));
            var month:Number = Number(input.substring(5,7));
            var date:Number = Number(input.substring(8,10));
            var hours:Number = Number(input.substring(11,13));
            var minutes:Number = Number(input.substring(14,16));
            var seconds:Number = Number(input.substring(17,19));
            result.setUTCFullYear(year);
            result.setUTCMonth(month-1);
            result.setUTCDate(date);
            result.setUTCHours(hours);
            result.setUTCMinutes(minutes);
            result.setUTCSeconds(seconds);
            return result;
I hope that will help to locate the reason for the wrong chart visualization.
Thanks for any help.

Problem with String variable

I am new to Java Programming.
I have a line of code that works and does what is supposed to.
faceData.getProfile("Lisa").removeFriend("Curtis");
If I assign the strings to variables such as-
String name = "Lisa";
String fName = "Curtis";
and then plug those into the same line of code, it does not work
faceData.getProfile(name).removeFriend(fName);
What could be causing the problem?
I even added some lines to print out what is stored in the variables to verify that they are what they should be, but for some reason the variables do not work while putting the strings in quotes does. Any ideas?

I guarantee that something about your assertions are incorrect. Those variables are either not equal to the values you claim, or something else is going on. But it's not a problem with string variables versus string constants.
Edit: My best guess in lack of a real example from you, is that the strings in question have non-printable characters in them, such as trailing spaces or line feeds.

Sql Devloper 4.0.0.13 - problems with displaying user data types

Hi,
I have installed new version of sqldeveloper and have discovered some problems with displaying user data types. The data that is described as VARCHAR2 are displayed with ‘???’.
The problem persist in table view, script output and exported files.
My type is described as follows:

TPC 2012 - Problems with shared variable

Hi,
I tried to program simmilar thing to this one http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5548 on TPC 2012. But it doesn't work.I can see that both programs on my laptop and TPC are working(I've added an additional counter with display), but I cannot see any effect on TPC when I change the value of shared variable on my laptop. I use LabView 8.6 with Touch Panel Module. My question is what are the exact steps to run such application on TPC2012? Are they the same as for TPC 2006?
I've noticed following issues:
1.I cannot deploy the program from Project Manager(there is an information that maybe TPC Service is not started. - I've found such information about TPC Service http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DE177828D27A14A48625734E00768B66 but in fact I cannot find Start » All Programs»National Instruments » NI TPC Service » NI TPC Service Manager 1.0 Does it mean, that the TPC Service is not installed and the programm with shared varibles won't be working or can I start it somehow in another way? Do I need to have TPC service installed on TPC2012?
Until now, I've built the project and sent it through FTP to TPC(the folder was /TEMP) and then started it.
2.Ping works OK
Thank you in advance for any hints how to solve this problem.

Problems with /tmp variable

Hi,
I'm writing a shell script and I seem to be having problems with a variable that is creates a directory in the /tmp directory. Essentially, there are several points where various parts of the script call out information that gets exported to that directory. My script is failing upon creation of this directory, is there any specific permissions on the /tmp directory in mac that would need to be set before something like this occurred?
Thanks!

My script is failing upon creation of this directory
Maybe you could post your code, that way we can see how you're trying to create the directory and may be able to spot the problem. As it is we're working blind, and that's not easy.

Cell formatting problem with formula

I have a table in my spreadsheet document, which contains working time details of my job. Column B is time of beginning, column D is time of stop. Both B and C columns are formatted as "date and time". In column E, there is a formula "=C2-B2", and so on for other rows, formatted automatically as "duration".
After a several rows (closing a month), in column F (at F14), there is a SUM formula of column E "=SUM(E2:E14)".
I tried to calculate the total sum for my monthly invoice at G14, with formula "=F14*6000", and i formatted this cell (G14) as Currency, but i see this cell as duration, after formatting the cell as currency too.
Thanks.

Thanks, Badunit!
You saved my day
I switched from OpenOffice.org to iWork 2 weeks ago, and this duration format tricked me second time.
Numbers is a bit strange for me now, but i learn quickly...

Problem with passing variable to restful uri's.

I have a restful URI in the format http://localhost/functionname/{itemID}. I use this URI to retrieve JSON formatted information. Through Flash Builder 4 data services I create an operation that makes use of this URI and I also hame itemID a URL parameter. The problem is that whenever I call this function from my program Flex uses the following URI instead " http://localhost/functionname/%7BitemID%7C" in other words it doesnt replace the "{itemID}" with my variable. I am using SDK 3.4 to compile. Is this a known bug and if yes how can I circumvent it? Please notice that the project needs to compile using SDK 3.4 no matter what. Thank you for reading.

Depending on how you set it up, it isn't clear that the compiler will see
as a binding expression. What does your code look like that sets
it up?

Exception color with formula variable(replacement path)

Hello,
I tried to define exceptions in a query which "from" and "to" values
are determined by formula variables with replacement path. I checked
the values of the formula variables and they are right. <b>But <b>the cells
are not colored</b></b>. When I set the same values in the field "from" and "to" without variables : the colors appear.
Could help me to resolve this problem please ?

Hi Alec,
You are right, the user exit permits to color the lines.
But the value of my variable needs to change for each line of the infocube so I can't do this with the user exit RSR00001 because it concerns global variables.
That's why I used a replacement path on a virtual characteristic.
