Can you have multiple dataproviders in a default web template?

I was working on some changes in our BW web applications to 'shut down' certain reports if we determined there was a particular data issue (e.g. maybe aggregates not available for a large cube, as an example).  I have already accomplished this in our 'cockpits' by adding a hidden dropdown box that is fed from a query against a master data InfoObject -- basically a way of flagging whether a particular area should be 'down' or not.  This has worked well for us.
My next goal was to extend this a little further and actually set up a way to designate that a particular cube should not be available.  Then when someone kicks off a web report (could be off a menu or even a bookmarked report..), I would again make template changes to check to see if the cube used in the report is flagged.  If so, then redirect the user to a message page instead of executing the query.  This would help us during critical times to keep users out of a problem area.
Again, I can make this work well in many custom template situations we have.  The problem I am now encountering is with the standard template itself (Note: I am referring to our copy of 0QUERY_TEMPLATE that is designated as the default).
I have added a second dataprovider to this std template that points to my query against the InfoObject data.  This dataprovider is linked to the dropdown box that is hidden.  The standard template already has dataprovider DP that is not qualified with a query name.  If you execute a query from BEx and launch it to the web, it builds a URL and passes in QUERY=xxxxxxx and INFOCUBE=yyyyyy.  Now because there are 2 dataproviders, this is essentially overlaying not only the DP info, but also my new 2nd dataprovider.  So the added dropdown pointing to a particular characteristic in the query is no longer valid (it thinks it should be using the QUERY value now).
In cases where I can first control the URL that a user executes, I would do SET_DATA_PROVIDER_1, 2, etc... and pass in INFOCUBE_1, 2.., QUERY_1, 2,... -- this is not a problem.  But how can I make the standard query-to-web functionality still work once a 2nd dataprovider has been added to a default template?  I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thanks, Jody

Thanks Heike...  I was hoping that there might be some way I couldn't think of & still only use 1 template here.  But as you suggested, I can put the CHANGE_TEMPLATE command in our existing 0QUERY_TEMPLATE copy and then make a new copy for it to branch to -- making sure that my new dataprovider gets filled in with its appropriate query/cube.  This at least minimizes impact by not having to change everything we have that references our 0QUERY_TEMPLATE copy through menus, JavaScript, favorites, etc.
I am familiar with the 'flicker' effect when we have used the CHANGE_TEMPLATE in the past (bringing up 'Info' for a query in a new window while maintaining the state of the report in the existing window).  In this case, since the report is being created in a new window, it really isn't noticeable at all unless you watch the browser status or the URL command.  Thanks for the information...
Jody

    can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

  • TS4006 can you have multiple phones on same user email

    can you have multiple phones on same user email

    If you mean can they share the same iCloud account, yes.  Just be aware that when multiple devices share the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all of the devices.  Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting contacts) will also be taken on all other devices sharing the account.  Finally, the iCloud backups of all the devices will share the same iCloud storage space.

  • HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Hi sandexpress,
    As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
    With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
    If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Can you have multiple bleed allowances (along with the multiple page sizes) in InDesign CS5?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to InDesign and have a question about documents with mixed page sizes in CS5.  I'm preparing an illustrated book for print and was hoping to be able to contain all the pages (including the covers) in one document.  My basic setup is 140 mm x 210 mm with a 3 mm bleed on each side.  I've managed to add the different cover page (146 mm x 216 mm) and spine (10 mm) dimensions easily enough, but can you have multiple bleed specifications too?  The bleed allowance I need for the case layout is 15 mm.  I've scoured InDesign and the net, but can't find any information about this anywhere.  It would seem rather silly to be able to have multiple page sizes in your document without being able to change the bleed allowance too.  Here's hoping it's possible!  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thank you!
    Alexandria

    make sure what your printer means ie: Page size + 6mm spine bulk + 15mm bleed.
    and design acordingly

  • Can you have multiple contact forms in a single Muse site?

    I have a site created in Muse that needs to use multiple contact forms of a sort.  One is a simple contact form.  Two others are sign up forms. In two of the three forms I have to separate the First and Last names.  Also in those there are multiple Custom fields and Message fields.
    The original simple contact form is working fine and has been.  However, I modified one of the pages by adding a second form, the first of the two sign-up forms.  It looked great in Muse, but when uploaded to the site, all of the fields were gone, leaving only the Labels in a single paragraph.
    Does this mean I can't have multiple contact forms in a single site?  If I actually, can, then what might have caused the problem?  And what could you suggest for me to try to fix it?
    Thank you,
    Laura

    Thank you for the information, but I cannot find anywhere in help where to find the field names (if that is my problem).  I changed all the labels and the corresponding text inside the field (remember, Muse does not give access to code as far as I can tell).  When I preview the page in a browser (using FireFox as default, but also tried with IE), everything looks good.  When I export to html and open the index.html on my computer, everything still looks great.  But when I FTP the page to the website, this is what I get:
    First Name:RequiredRescuer Email:RequiredOrganization (if any):RequiredSubmitting Form...The server encountered an error.Form received.Geographic Areas Covered:RequiredRescuer Cell Phone:RequiredRescuer Home Phone:RequiredRescuer Home Address:
