Calendar to select dates in Viewer for Date Parameters !!?

Hi All,
I have a report which has paramaters Audit Date From : and Audit Date To:
When a users tries to run this Report from Discoverer Viewer he/she has to type the dates manually like "05-SEP-2010" ,
BUT users are confused as some of them type in '05-SEPT-2010' and raise defects that the report is not working properly.
Instead is there a way to embed a calendar so that a user can just select teh date he wants and it populates the parameter as understood to the report ??
This feauture is available in Discoverer Plus by default but not in the Viewer.
Please advice asap..Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
VJ

Hi,
This issue came up already in the past several times.
The viewer do not have this calendar functionality as in the Plus.
You can either put a description on the parameter so that the user will be able to see the format,
or simply use the Plus.
* you can set the privileges so that the users will use the Plus but will have no privileges to create or save or change, much like the viewer.

Configure a SSRS Data Alert once for all parameters

Hi,
while BOL mention "[...] If the report is parameterized, you might need to run the report using different parameter values to ensure the data that that you are interested in appears in the report. After the report is open, you click the
New Data Alert option on the Actions menu on the report toolbar to open Data Alert Designer [...]"
is it possible, or is there a work around, to configure a data alert that lists all parameter members?
i.e. I've a report with a parameter that is "Customer" that contains more or less 1000 names. How can I create a single data alert for each Customer? --> i.e if the customer has a payment delay greater than n days?
Thanks in advance, Davide

Hi Davide,
Per my understanding that you want to create only one Data Alert for all the parameters in the lists, right?
As you know that if the report is parameterized ,only after the report is open then you can click the New Data Alert option on the Actions menu on the report toolbar to open Data Alert Designer and create the Data alert.
So by design you need to first select the parameter to filter the report and then create the “New Data Alert” . When you choose a data feed, the data from the feed displays in a table with rows and columns in the alert data pane of Data Alert Designer which
is the filtered tables data based on this parameter, that means the current version not support to set only one Data Alert for all parameters at once through the setting of the “New Data Alert” , The parameter values you chose to run the report are saved
in the alert definition and will be used when report is rerun as a step in processing the alert definition. To use different parameter values, you must create a new alert definition.
I recommend you that submit this suggestion at

        </action> i dont know why it doesnt retrieved the data from the ArrayList?
please help me..Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Looking at the code, it seems you are compiling a JRXML and that is all.
Instead, you should fill it with data and then export the result to PDF.
No wonder you don't see any result.
You need to learn more about how JasperReports work. For a start, I can tell you that you could compile JRXML files as part of the application build process using an Ant task, and not dynamically, like you did. But no matter how you compile the report template, you actually need to fill it with data, using the JasperFillManager and then export it to PDF using the JasperExportManager.
You can see all this in our samples in the /demo/samples folder that is part of our project distribution package. There is even a sample Web application in the /demo/samples/webapp folder.
I hope this helps.

Data Access Object for Data Warehouse?

Hi,
Does anyone know how the DAO pattern looks like when it is used for a data warehouse rather than a normal transactional database?
Normally we have something like CustomerDAO or ProductDAO in the DAO pattern, but for data warehouse applications, JOINs are used and multiple tables are queried, for example, a query may contains data from the Customer, Product and Time table, what should the DAO class be named? CustomerProductTimeDAO?? Any difference in other parts of the pattern?
Thanks in advance.
SK

In my opinion, there are no differences in the Data Access Object design pattern which have any thing to do with any characteristic of its implementation or the storage format of the data the pattern is designed to function with.
The core pupose of the DAO design pattern is to encapsulate data access code and separate it from the business logic code of the application. A DAO implementation might vary from application to application. The design pattern does not specify any implementation details. A DAO implementation can be applied to group of XML data files, an Excel-based CSV file, a relational database, or an OS file system. The design is the same for all these, it is the implementation that varies.
The core difference between an operational database and a strategic data warehouse is the purpose of why and how the data is used. It is not so much a technical difference. The relational design may vary however, there may be more tables amd ternary relationships in a data warehouse to support more fine-tuned queries; there may be less tables in a operational database to support insert/add efficiencies.
The DAO implementation for a data warehouse would be based on the model of the databases. However the tables are set up, that is how the DAO is coded.

Data Dictionary View for Procedure Text

Hi,
Is there a data-dictionary where I can see the body of procedures. In fact, I received a request from a collegue to give him the procedure name which access a table "table_1".
So, my idea is to write a query as follows:
SELECT <procedure_name> FROM <data_dictionary> WHERE <text> LIKE '%table_1%'.
Thanks in advance.

You can try with DBA_SOURCE or USER_SOURCE.
i.e.
SELECT NAME FROM DBA_SOURCE
WHERE OWNER='<OWNER NAME>'
AND TYPE='PROCEDURE'
AND TEXT LIKE '%table_1%';

Select Multiple into array for data insertion

I have a form that contains a menu/list that allows multiple selections. The list is bound to a dynamic source with label = to a name and value = to the names record ID. The code DW CS4 generates is:
<select name="vVol_id" size="20" multiple="MULTIPLE" id="vVol_id">
<?php
do { ?>
                <option value="<?php echo $row_rsGetStaff['vol_id']?>"><?php echo $row_rsGetStaff['full_name']?></option>
                <?php
} while ($row_rsGetStaff = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsGetStaff));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsGetStaff);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsGetStaff, 0);
      $row_rsGetStaff = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsGetStaff);
?>
</select>
What additional code do I need to get the selected items into an array that can be 'foreach'd' to insert the selections into another table when the submit button is clicked? This one has been driving me nuts.

You just need the square brackets, something like: <select name="vVol_id[]"
vVol_id will then be an array if items are selected.

Select query case insensitive for data type VARG

Hi Experts,
I am having trouble in retrieving the results from a table using select query.
I have a table (Users) as below
Name (VARG)        Number(INTEGER)
Murthy             0001
murthy             0002
when I am querying the table with select query as -
select * from Users where Name = 'Murthy'
this query is returning only one record which matches with capital letter of 'M', though both the record names are same.
I have seen in IBM forum to make the select query as case insensitive using the UPPER key word, I have tried this as below -
select * from Users where UPPER(Name) = 'MURTHY'
But this query is not working in my case...
My DB2 version is 8.1.5
Can any one please help in fixing this problem...
Thanks in Advance,
Murthy

Hi Murthy,
your query is the right to one to select both records. I don't see why it doesn't work.
Are you sure you posted the query that you have executed ?
What is the result of this query ?
But i don't really know how an VARG (Varying-length graphic string) will work. It could be that the UPPER-Function will work in another way as it works on VARCHAR.

ICalendar shuts down when going from year or month view to day view for dates starting May 2014. I'm running all the latest software versions

I realized the above mentioned problem already months ago, but assumed Apple is onto it and will fix it once the time comes closes. I have researched on the net to see if I can find posts with similar problems, but there don't seem to be any.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

Use Date Filter WebParts for Date Range In Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
Can someone please explain how to use the Date Filter WebParts in Sharepoint 2013 to act as a Date Range. Myrequirement is exactly like in the link
Date Filter but this is not working on Sharepoint 2013 Designer. I am unable to edit a webpart page in Designer, add and configure these webparts.
Request you to please help!!

Now/Today probably isn't supported because it simply cannot work the way most people (including myself) would like for it to work. The calculation only executes when an item is created or updated. It does not recalculate when you view or retrieve
the value (say through a workflow) from the field. Because of this, "Today" would be misleading as it doesn't really mean today, but the last time the field was recalculated (created/updated).
If the recalculation occurred each time the field was accessed or viewed, that would be of tremendous benefit.

Using SSRS Date Range- Data Not shown for date greater than by Analysis Services

Hello Friends,
I am using Date Range filters(Start and End Date) in my SSRS Report. The Problem is that if i am using the start date will be today, then the end date will be the future date by using Analysis Service as my Data Source, the report is not generated.
I don't know why it happens? If I give the date range filters before the current date, then the report will shown.
The problem is that the future date is not in my database. Could you please answer for this. I am struck in here,.
Table contains : 1-7-14 ,
2-7-14,
3-7-14,
If my Date Range will be 1st to 3 of 7th month, then the report shows the data.
if my date starts with 1st of the 7th month and ends in the future, then the report will not shown the 2nd and 3rd records...
Please teach me why?

there is a good possibility that date2 will be empty for certain records

thank you very much for your patience.....

Custom Data Formatting Gone for Dates

Another new aspect of the updated Numbers app for OS X is the loss of customizing data formats. There are more options via a drop down, but there's less customization. For example. I had a use case where I'd take a column full of dates and would replicate it so the same data was in two columns. I then was able to customize the first column of dates to use a month shortcode only so it would render "Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr..." depending on the data in that column. The next colum with the same data I'd then customize to show only the day of the month. See the example below.
Date
Column 1
Date
Column 2
Jan
4
Mar
15
Oct
23
Presently, neither the shortnames for months by themselves nor the day of the month by itself is available as an option when working in the Data Format panel.
I'm assuming the customization was killed, but if someone knows if that's hidden elsewhere, please let me know!

Hi Bret,
I don't know the answer to your actual question as I tend to later adoption, and am not yet using Numbers 3.0, but here's a workaround (with some limitations, noted below).
Limitations:
Requires that the values in the cells are created by formulas, or can be created by formulas referencing another cell.
The resulting values will be a text string (column A) or a numeric value (column B), not a Date and Time value.
A: =LEFT(MONTHNAME(MONTH(formula)),3)
B: =DAY(formula)
In each, formula is the existing formula used to determine the D&T value currently in the cell.

Barry

Reconciliation and data verification approaches for data in sap r/3 and bw

Hi
Cam anybody suggest what are the different reconciliation and data verification approaches to assure that BW and R/3 source data are in sync.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nisha.

Hi
What you can do is, go to R/3 transaction RSA3 and run the extractor, it gives you the number of records extracted and then go to BW Monitor to check the number of records in the PSA.
if it's the same, there you go.
there is an HOW-TO Document on service market place "Reconcile Data Between SAP Source Systems and SAP BW".
Check this document as well which is very helpful.
There is another HOW-TO document "Validate infocube data by comparing it with PSA Data". this is also a good document.
Hope it helps.
