Changes in Data View

Hi Expert,
I am changing certain fields in planning book and date view for a particular planning area I want to know how to transform the changes in to quality system for testing, I think I have to transport this, but I have not done this before
Please guide.

Hi
To add to what Amol has said , you have to make sure you back up the data in the quality system before releasing  your transport . You have not mentioned whether your planning area has time series key figures. If it does then you are going to lose the value of your key figures. To recover , you can backup your data to cube , migrate the changes , and then reload the data again from the cube to the P.A .
Thanks

  • Modify the data source of a data view web part

    I have a dataView web part deployed in a template in multiple site collection. This dataView hasn't any query set up, so it loads a lot of items and this is slowing down my system.
    Now I want to programmatically put a query overriding the existent (empty) one and I'm doing like this:
    System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart y = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart)item;
    Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataFormWebPart z = (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataFormWebPart)item;
    StringBuilder dataSourceString = new StringBuilder("<%@ Register TagPrefix=\"sharepoint\" Namespace=\"Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls\" Assembly=\"Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c\" %>");
    dataSourceString.Append("<%@ Register TagPrefix=\"WebPartPages\" Namespace=\"Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages\" Assembly=\"Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c\" %>");
    dataSourceString.Append("<sharepoint:SoapDataSource runat=\"server\" SelectUrl=\"http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/spc/_vti_bin/lists.asmx\" InsertUrl=\"\" UpdateUrl=\"\" DeleteUrl=\"\" SelectAction=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems\" InsertAction=\"\" UpdateAction=\"\" DeleteAction=\"\" SelectPort=\"ListsSoap\" InsertPort=\"\" UpdatePort=\"\" DeletePort=\"\" SelectServiceName=\"Lists\" InsertServiceName=\"\" UpdateServiceName=\"\" DeleteServiceName=\"\" AuthType=\"Basic\" AuthUserName=\"contoso\\administrator\" AuthPassword=\"pass@word1\" WsdlPath=\"http://intranet.contoso.com/sites/spc/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL\" XPath=\"\" ID=\"SoapDataSource3\">");
    dataSourceString.Append("<SelectCommand><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"><soap:Body><GetListItems xmlns=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/\"><listName>Jobs</listName>");
    dataSourceString.Append("<Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\"Title\" /><Value Type=\"Text\">2012_080_A_0</Value></Eq></Where></Query>");

    z.DataSourcesString = dataSourceString.ToString();
    manager.SaveChanges(z);
    In my code, I can see the DataSourceString changing, but if I refresh the page it is still loading all the data: why?!

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the data view web part datasource programmatically.
    We need to override the databind method like below:
    public class ExtendedDataFormWebPart : DataFormWebPart
    public override void DataBind()
    this.DataSource = your own data source;
    base.DataBind();
    Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

  • Change the day view(Mon, Tue etc) to date view (06/03,06/04) in CAT2 tcode

    I am trying to change the view in CAT2 worklist and data entry area from days (like Mon, Tue, Wed etc) to date view (06/03, 06/04, 06/05 etc) in the columns.
    Can anyone please help me on this?

    Hi,
    Go to
    SPRO -> IMG -> Cross-Application Components -> Time sheet -> Cats Regular -> Set Up Data Entry Profile
    Select the profile and click on glass.
    Then in general settings check Display Weekdays checkbox
    It determines that the system displays the days in the time sheet worklist and data entry section as weekdays (MO, TU, WE, for example). In the data entry section, the date is displayed in addition to the weekday.
    If you do not select this option, the day's date appears in the format 01.01 or 01/01. This format is recommended if you use this profile to enter data daily or monthly.
    Hope this will help

  • View Customization Table changes and Data  table base changes in a report

    Hi All,
    How to view Customization Table changes and DAta  table base changes in a report ,
    Is it right transactions: SCU3 or RSVTPROT
    Also plz let me know the concept of audit trial,
    Thanks
    SD

    Hi,
    Changes to master data objects must be captured for the For compliance purposes. The auditor allows you to be able to view and print an audit log of changes to master data objects for a chosen period. It is very common for external auditors to focus on what has changed from one year or quarter to the next to help determine the nature, extent, and population for testing. To configure and access your audit log, perform the actions listed with each of the following utilities.
    Audit Trail is used to track the record changes.
    The report RPUAUD00 gives all the changes done to the masterdata by any user anytime.
    But, before using this audit trial, please ensure that the system hardware is well equipped as the audit trials activation would later become a performance issue as this would occupy a lot of space in the coming time.

  • Date view changes

    Hi
    I am in  process of changing description of Data view in planning book.
    i am not able to save the description and getting massage as
    maintain time for columns visible from field.
    i have a tick on visible field and the dates are blank.
    what i am suppoze to do , and what will be impact of this
    please help

    Hi
    If its DP planning book you can have tick on visible field and from field information from which you want to see the period visible in APO DP planning book.
    For example you are expecting sales history for last 3 year than tick on visible field and put the date like 01.11.2007
    if you do not put the date, it will now show you the data in past.
    If its SNP planning book , do not use this field but directly put time bucket profile.
    I hope this will help you to solve the respective issue.
    Thanks

  • Order changes in Monthly and Weekly Data View

    Hi,
        I need some of your suggestions for my problem below:
    I have a planning book with two data views (1 with monthly bucket and other with weekly bucket).Now I create three forecast orders in the weekly data view as below:
    Quantity     Date
    10         05.11.2007
    20         12.11.2007
    30         19.11.2007
    So I can see the sum as 60 in the monthly data view. Now I try to modify (deduct by 5) the forecast order from the monthly data view. So the sum 60 changes to 55 but when I see the details of the order it looks strange to me.
    11 26.11.2007
    13 19.11.2007
    13 12.11.2007
    13 05.11.2007
    5   01.11.2007
    Please let me know what is the logic behind this?
    But if I perform the above calculation for the category 'HG' as above I get the result like this.
    Weekly Buckets
    10 05.11.2007
    20 12.11.2007
    30 19.11.2007
    Monthly Buckets
    55 01.11.2007
    Thanks,
    Siva.

    Hi siva
    This is possibly because of the settings in the planning area for the time disaggregation of the Key figure
    Can you go Planning area administration and see what the setting is in the key figure disaggregation tab?
    I think it needs to be P for proportional distribution and will use previously existing proportions for new quantities.
    instead in your case it is ignoring previously exsisting proportions and distributing afresh. Am not sure what type that is (K?)
    the F1 on the time based disaggregation field will give you a better idea.
    if you want to know why the 11 and 5 are there at the ends and 13 is in the middle buckets, it is because the storage buckets for the weeks have 6, 7,7,7 and 2 days and 55/30 multiplied by these days is how the number are calculated.
    there is also some help here

  • Finder "modified date" changes whenever I view a file

    I prefer to list files by date in the finder windows.
    Whenever I just open a file without modifying it, the Finder changes it's modified date to Today.
    Is it possible to set the Finder to only display actual content modification dates rather than any activity with the file?
    Thx,

    i've got the same issue....a huge pain. one way to "look at files" without changing the date is to hit the space bar in finder when you're on the file. that will launch the quick look feature and you can see if that's the file you want to open. i know its not the best solution, but a small step. if you find a real way to fix this... let me know.

  • History and Future Bucket of the Data View

    Hi Experts
    As per my Client Requirement Planning for the Next year Jan 2010 u2013 Dec 2010 which Starts in the second Quarter of the Year 2009.
    They need historical data (Historical Time Bucket) of Last 3 years in the monthly bucket and Future bucket for Jan 2010- Dec 2010.
    My query in this regard to design Data view which  need to Show Historical periods of Last 3 yrs from current month and Future Bucket as Jan 2010-Dec 2010 to input the Forecast.
    The next planning Cycle would start in the second Quarter of the 2010 to forecast for the Jan 2011 to Dec 2011. When they plan for the Year Jan 2011 u2013 Dec 2011 the data views should be automatically roll or update with future bucket Jan 2011-Dec2011 and History Bucket with three years in the monthly bucket from the Current Month.
    Please give your Valuable Suggestions with regard to above requirement.
    I tried by Giving Planning Start Date as 01.01.2010 , but it is not fulfilling the above requirement.

    Hi Anuradha
    Thanks for you quick reply.
    Assume that we are in the Month of June 2009, My planners start the planning process  for the Jan 2010 - Dec 2010.
    If i take 1 year it wont help me , Future Buckets will be till May 2010.
    If i take 17 Months as the Future Buckets , Future buckets are displayed till Dec 2010.
    Till June 2010 In between Planners can have Revision , and may again change the Forecast.
    Suppose Assume that we have revision in the month of March 2010 , Here Future Buckets are displayed till October 2011.
    How to make my data view time bucket in the synchronized with future Periods.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Crystal ActiveX Runtime Lib: Change text data source path at run time.

    We have some PCs running Crystal Reports 10 and some running CR 9 and 8.5. For each PC, we set up a System DSN ODBC data source (in Control Panel - Administrative Tools) for pulling data from text files to
    generate reports.
    Recently we wrote some routines (see the Visual Basic example at the
    end of this message) to change the path of the data files at runtime.
    According to the Crystal Reports Technical Reference Guide, we may use
    the method LogOnServer() of an Application object or an DatabaseTable
    object. However, we find that this does not work: the PrintOut()
    method only pulls data from the default path as configured for the
    System DSN, not from the path passed as the third parameter of
    LogOnServer(). It does not return any error message.
    We have also tried to use SetTableLocation() method, and it still does
    not work.
    Would any experts examine our code below and advise what we are missing? Thanks.
    For the following VB example, we have:
    System DSN Name: AP_WORKSHEET
    Driver: Microsoft Text Driver
    Database Directory: D:\0ood2 (i.e. the default path)
    Crystal Report Document: D:\3g\run\Vision\apcyto\Reports\crBlockWS.rpt
    (Which specifies that the data source text file name is BlockWS.txt)
    Purpose : We would like to read the data source text file from
    D:\0ood1 instead of the default path.
    Following is the code of the VB macro:
    Sub test()
    Rem In this version of the subroutine, we call
    Rem DatabaseTable.LogOnServer() and "Rem"ed out
    Rem Application.LogOnServer() and SetTableLocation().
    Rem We have un"Rem"ed each of them and "Rem"ed others and try to run.
    Rem In all runs, data are pulled from the default file
    Rem D:\0ood2\BlockWS.txt instead of D:\0ood1\BlockWE.txt.
    Dim crxapp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim crxRep As CRAXDRT.Report
    Dim crxDB As CRAXDRT.Database

    Dim crxConnPs As CRAXDRT.ConnectionProperties

    crxapp.LogOnServer "p2sodbc.dll", "AP_WORKSHEET", "<CRWDC>DBQ=D:\0ood1",
    Set crxRep = crxapp.OpenReport
    ("D:\3g\run\Vision\apcyto\Reports\crBlockWS.rpt")
    Set crxDB = crxRep.Database
    Set crxTab = crxRep.Database.Tables(1)
    apropConnBufStr = crxTab.ConnectBufferString
    apropSubLoc = crxTab.SubLocation
    crxDB.LogOnServer "p2sodbc.dll", "AP_WORKSHEET", "<CRWDC>DBQ=D:\0ood1",
    Rem crxTab.SetTableLocation "D:\0ood1\BlockWS.txt", apropSubLoc, "DSN="
    Rem Set crxConnPs = crxTab.ConnectionProperties

    Rem crxTab.Location = "BlockWS.txt"
    crxRep.DiscardSavedData
    crxRep.PrinterSetup (0)
    crxRep.PrintOut
    End Sub
    For VB macros, the problem exists in all of CR 8.5, 9 and 10. However,
    for another platform we are using, Unify Vision 4GL, it works for CR
    8.5 while not working for CR 9 and 10.
    Following is the source code in Unify Vision 4GL. This language may
    not be popular, but I thin you are about to see how it calls the

  • How to change the Data Foundation for an existing Business Element

    My Issue:
    I have quite a few reports that use the same Business View. The Business View has an under lying Data Foundation that uses a Dynamic Data Connection (DDC). I no longer want to use this DDC because production users are complaining they do not want to have to select a data source each time (multiple times when the report includes sub reports) they run/refresh their reports.
    The Holy Grail:
    I would like to change the Data Foundation that my Business Element layer is built upon and use another data foundation with identical tables, linking, and fields. The new data foundation would be using a production connection. This solves my immediate issue and has a great side benefit of providing a convenient way to promote reports from development to stage/test, to production and would not require production users  to have to select which environment they want their report to run against.
    I am logged in to BVM as administrator:
    When I look at the Business Element layer Property Browser,  I see a Data Foundation Property but is is disabled (such that it can not be changed).
    Is there a way to change the Data Foundation that is used by an existing Business Element layer ?
    I'd appreciate any help that someone can offer on this topic. Even if it is not possible and someone can shed some light on why this would not work or would not be a good idea, I'd be interested in learning

    Technically No the system will not allow you to change as it is involved with many depreciation areas and change is not permitted for control reason.
    You only need to retire the asset, reverse the postings, assign correctly and repost the values.

  • Why does placing links in Illustrator now change the "Date Modified" data for all of my files?

    This seems to be a new glitch that started after I installed the latest updates to Illustrator CC (2014) and reoccurs every time on both computers I work on:
    When I choose to place a new image in my Illustrator file and the window opens to let me choose a file to place, the "Date Modified" field of all the files in the folder I'm viewing (except other Illustrator files) quickly changes to the current date and time. This is definitely happening when I'm in Illustrator because when I needed files from a folder that had hundreds of images in it and I was able to select a file quickly, I was able to do so before it had changed the date on all of my files. However, when I needed a file from a folder that had hundreds of images in it but I took a long time to find the image I needed, Illustrator had time to change the date modified on all of my files. This might seem like an unimportant issue because it doesn't actually seem to modify or damage any of my files, but having all of the dates change on my files is a serious problem for my workflow and file management issues. So far, my only work around has been to use back-up image files, but that's not a long term solution and I don't understand why Illustrator should be modifying the dates of my files.
    Is there a setting I can choose somewhere to prevent this problem? If not, is there somewhere I can report this kind of glitch? I'm not sure if I'm using the exact language necessary to get the issue across so please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

  • Bind multiple fields to one node in data view

    I have a need to have an interactive form where data from a single data source is displayed in multiple fields on the form.  In addition these fields are open for input.  I have bound the multiple fields on the form to one node in the data view.  The data is being displayed in the multiple fields. This form is being routed thru workflow so various agents are updating the form.  The problem that I am having is that the form only seems to allow input in the first field on the form but not the other fields that are tied to the same data source. For example, field A and field B are bound to node SUMMARY.  I can add/change/delete data in field A but not in field B.  After I have done some entry in field A, I can then sometimes make changes in field B.  We have a requirement that field A be enabled for agent #1 but field B is invisible.  Later in the workflow, agent #2 needs to make final changes on a "summary" page so agent #2 had field B enabled.
    Does anyone have any idea how to correct this data entry issue so that data can be entered into either field that is tied to a single node?

    Having multiple fields in the backend is not an option.  I will not go into the business reason in detail but the last page of the form contains a final version of data pulled from various locations on the form where the data on the other pages was input by multiple agents in the process flow.  The last agent in the workflow needs to put the "finishing touches" to the data and should not have to search all over in the form to find the appropriate data fields.
    I have found 2 possible solutions and would like to know if anyone can recommend one over the other. 
    First solution - bind multiple fields on the form to one node in the data view.  This seems to work correctly on the form and data can be entered into either field, with the data being passed back to the webdynpro context in the one node in the data view (corresponding node in WD context).
    Second solution - the node/attribue in the WD context must have the same name as a DDIC element. The node in the data view must have this same name.  The field names on the form must also have the same name.  Define the binding for the field names as Global.  I have not validated that the data is passed back to the WD.

  • How to get rid of the "mil" in Data View's large Display meter

    Hi, there!   I have two analog voltage inputs that I am having signal express V2.5 to collect data on.   The first input is scaled to inches while the second input is scaled to pounds.   For some reason, as i bring up the large display in Data View, the meter will show this "mil" thing.   It won't go away until the scale reaches 1.0000.   For instance, if the scaled signal is less than 1.0000, it will indicate 900mil, 800mil, 50mil 1mil, and so on.....   This really created alot of confusion for my lab.  
    I am hoping if you guys can tell me a way to make 900mil to become 0.900, 50mil to 0.050, and 1mil to 0.001
    Thanks in advance!
    Kin

    Hi Kin,
    Sorry about this. I don't believe there is a way for you to change this in SignalExpress 2.5. However we did add this ability in SignalExpress 3.0. Most displays now have a property page, including the Large Display, which allows you to specify the format and precision shown, including to remove the SI notation. By right-clicking on the Large Display and select Properties, go to the Format & Precision tab, and select the Floating Point option (instead of SI notation).

    Sounds to me more like you have the Display Performance set on Typical rather than High Quality Display. Unless there is a problem with a missing or out-of-date link, the display in ID has nothing to do with output quality -- all of the image data is used for output.

  • In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie.  Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

    Background:  I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac.  In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras.  SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files.  So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder.  When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails".  Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events.  I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie.    I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie. 
    I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos.  But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie.   I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.  
    Appreciate any tips or pointers.
    OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner. 

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!
