Create single-value measure from a measure array

I need some education on MDX.. :) I have Measure A which gets calculated across Dimensions Dim X, DimY and DimMonthly.
is there a way or maybe function to create Measure B derived from measure A but selects only single Measure A value attributed to LastMonthValue (e.g. relative to today, Nov 2013 for today) and crosses DimMonthly on Nov 2013?
What should I use
filter - Filter Nov 2013?
Tail function with item(0)?
or create Measure B based on default named set = Nov 2013
or it could be done only using SELECT?

Thank you, I realize that. I was just trying to mimic current report layout, which was not OLAP. As a workaround I just set filter to show certain month (Nov 13) and supplied all metrics for that single month - MTD,YTD, LYMTD, LYTD, AVG, Growth rate, etc.
Will see what user will say :)!

Creating single page pdfs from a brochure designed in spreads format

Hi there,
So I've been asked to take a brochure that is in spreads, and save each panel as a single page pdf. So basically, in document setup, the page size is 17.75 x 8.5). There are four panels, each panel is roughly 4.3708 x 8.5. The problem is, each panel was not created as a single page in indesign...instead, it's set up as a 17.75 x 8.5 document and the panels are created within that document size.
I guess I wanted to find out if there is an efficient way of creating these single panel pdfs from what I've been given.
Anybody know?

It's either copy/paste into a properly laid out facing pages document (the best choice if it will need editing in the future), or place the pages, each one twice, into a facing pages pages doc and crop the wrong half off each page. In either case, you'll need to rearrange the pages into readers' spreads.

Automate creating single PDF file from multiple documents

Hi everyone ! I am testing the Adobe XI version, especially because I need it for a very specific function.I haven't found it yet, maybe you guys can help ?
Basically, I need to make a user friendly system, that in one click will create a single PDF document from multiple files :
To be more precise : I have in a folder on the network 25 different documents (Word and PDF mainly). Some of these documents change weekly. What I need as an end result is a single PDF, that combines these 25 ones in a specific order, and the tricky part is I need to automate this so that someone with absolutely no knowledge of Acrobat can perform this task, with just a click.
I have found of course the procedure to manually build such a combined PDF, but as you can see it does not fulfil my needs.
So that's it, as simple as that
As a bonus question : I am still struggling with the construction of these documents : in the Word documents I use, there are both internal links within the document, and links between the documents (pointing to other Word files, or PDF files). I keep losing those links when I combine, is there something I am missing ?
Second bonus question : I would like to have multiple levels of signets, but for some reason all my signets are at the same hierarchical level. Anything I am doing wrong ?
A free electronic doughnut for anyone giving me a hint !

When you combine you have many PDFs together in one, new PDF. Your orignal links are from one specific file to another specific file. A combine does not change the link in the original file. So the link is now from the PDFcombined to the second specific file. However, "second specific file" won't be present - so, "broken link".
Be well...

Crystal Reports prompt single value variable from BEX

Hi,
after upgrade to BO 4.1 SP2 Patch 3 the prompt from BEX variable in CR doesn't work.
After investigation the issue is happened for variables containing more than 9 values.
Bex Setting: Variable -> Details -> Variable Represents -> Single value
Variable which shows Jan-Dec
The issue happens only on CR file stored in BO server in Cr design time it works fine.
Is the bug known? Is there any solution?
Harald

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

Create single XML document from multiple queries

hi all!
being a new programmer in XML world,my question might sound a bit stupid but your answers would mean a world to me. i have to generate a single XML document from my database by querying more than one table. for example i have 3 tables i.e HR_EMP_NAME, HR_PRODUCTS_DETAIL, HR_PAYROLL_SUMMARY. all three tables have completely different columns except one ID column which is a foreign kay from HR_MASTER_LIST. i want to get any insert operation on these tables as a single document. so far as i have studied, one option is to generate XMLDoc using XSU and then add child nodes using JAXP but i am ot geting the logic right.
please do reply.
thanks a lot
usman

This is an SQL/XML based answer so how much it helps you is hard to say, but it would be one option. You can have the SQL statement build the XML for you as shown by this simple example.
SELECT XMLElement("root",
          XMLForest(emp.dummy AS "emp_name",
                    prod.dummy AS "prod_lvl",
                    pay.dummy AS "pay_scale"))
FROM dual emp,
       dual prod,
       dual pay
WHERE emp.dummy = prod.dummy
AND emp.dummy = pay.dummy;which produces (formatted for human readability)
<root>
<emp_name>X</emp_name>
<prod_lvl>X</prod_lvl>
<pay_scale>X</pay_scale>
</root>Whether that works with what you are trying to do via Java you will have to decide.

Creating object with names from a String Array

Hi all,
This might be a stupid question .. I have the following method:

          super(new BorderLayout());
          o = newO;
          for (int i = 0; i < parameter.length; i++){
               testB = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(parameter);
               JFormattedTextField parameter[i] = new JFormattedTextField(); // problem
as you can see I would like to name my text fields with the strings that I have in the parameters array so that I can get their values later on. How can I do it?
Thanks for help
Stan

               JFormattedTextField parameter[i] = new JFormattedTextField(); // problemYou are declare an array of size i, and assigning a single JFormattedTextField to it.
     public OptionInputPanel(Option newO, String [] parameter){
          super(new BorderLayout());
          o = newO;
          JFormattedTextField params[ i ] = new JFormattedTextField();
          for (int i = 0; i < parameter.length; i++){
               testB = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(parameter[ i ]);
               param[ i ] = new JFormattedTextField(parameter[ i ]);

Error when creating BufferedImage with IndexColorModel from a byte array.

How to dynamically create a JSF dataTable from a String[][] array

Hi, I�m developing an application that uses columns, rows and data instead of any other attributes, so I got from a database Resultset a String[] array with the rows headers, other String[] array with the columns headers, and a String[][] array with the information between every row[] and column[] header al this String arrays depend on a method that receives the group title as a parameter so they are dynamically created, anyway I can display this information in a jsp page but I don�t know how to display this information in a JSF dataTable.
Does anybody knows how I could do this? and which is the proper way to create a dynamically rows and columns dataTable?

Using RMAN to create single instance standby from 2 node rac

Any advice on the RMAN command to take a non catalog full rman backup from a two node 11gr2 rac node and use it to create the STANDBY single instance.
The RAC two node instance is in ASM (Linux)
The Physical Standby is Normal File System (Linux)
The command that I get from Metalink suggests:
rman target sys/passwd@primary catalog RMAN/RMAN@RMAN auxiliary sys/passwd
RMAN> run {
allocate auxiliary channel C1 device type disk;
duplicate target database for standby;
When I took the rman backup I did not use catalog. Please suggest how to accomplish the same task without catalog. Thanks

How to hide a single value node hierarchy in the query designer

Hi,
I would like to perform a calculation in the infocube. It concern a count "Nb of different customers" with the following hierarchy : Country / region / City.
This KF would be read at the same time by city, region and country, and certain customers exist in 2 different region, and I have to count them only once by country.
To do this, I added a new record (at the country level when loading infocube) to deduct a number of customers in doubloons.
This line added contain only a country code and the number of cutomers in doubloons (- 23 when I have 23 cutomers in doublons) with revrese sign.
Now, I would like to use this value (-23) to have a right Nb of different customers by country, without showing the not assigned line in the report hierarchy.
How can I hide, in the query designer or the WAD, a single value node from hierarchy (NOT assigned) but take in account the value (-23) at the country level ?
Is there another solution (more simple) to perform this in the infocube ?
For information,
1) The infocube is loaded once per month, and the KF (Nb of different customers" is also performed by month.
2) I can't perform this in the report (performance problem with calculated KF).
thx.

Hi,
the short answer is "you can't", the longer is: The ADF Faces tree component is stamped for better performance. This stamping means that nodes are not rendered as JSF objects but copies of an existing component (just with a changed value). For this reason the nodes don't issue their own query for data and thus cannot be refreshed individually

How to store a single value embedded in several loops

I have a situation where I have 3 while loops embedded inside one another and I need to pass a single value obtained from the first iteration of the central loop. I have thought of a few ways to do this, but I'm not sure which is the best or most efficient. The two ideas I have are to either use shift registers (which can get messy with 3 loops) to store the value, or to write to a local variable only once and then read it out later. Right now I'm using a combination of shift registers and auto-indexing, and finding the first value after the loops have completed. It works, but it doesn't seem very elegant. I'd love to hear some new suggestions or some thoughts about using local variables vs. shift registers.
Any help would be appreciated.

Not really that messy . let's assume that the innermost loop sees all iteration (i.e. is not inside a case structure), all you need in an unintialized shift register in the innermost loop as e.g. shown in the figure.

Universe Dimensions/Measures from Progress Array

Hello,
I have a Progress (Openedge 10.2) array that has 24 columns separated by semi colons (";") and I am trying to create single measures for each (as they related to period data)
1;2;3;4;5;6;7....24;
I am used to the split function in Crystal, but am struggling to find the equivalent in BO Designer?
What is the equivalent of the split function in BO?
Many thanks

Eesh, good luck with progress arrays.
From a performance point of view, I'd recommend parsing the data out into a separate reporting table if that is at all possible. You may hit problems otherwise - I've seen arrays with different meanings cause problems when someone adds a new type. For example field 6 for one type is a date field while for the new type it is a number.
If you're going to persist with working with the arrays in Designer, then you'll need to use Progress-specific SQL functions to do the manipulations and it will get messy quickly. Maybe something like this link will help? http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=97682

Create Ytd measure from essbase accounts

Hi,
We have separate dimension for Year and Period (Month) in Essbase without Ytd member for period. In BIEE, how do we create YTD measure from existing logical column?
Thanks,
GT

Hi narthan,
According to your description, you want to select data between first day of this year and last day of previous month. If that is the case, we can achieve your goal by two ways:
• Adding where statement to the query without using parameter like below:
where column_name between DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy,0,getdate()), 0) and dateadd(ms,-3,DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm,0,getdate()), 0))
• Adding two parameters named StartDate and EndDate by following steps:
1. In Dataset Properties dialog box, in Query text box, add where statement like below, then the parameters will be created automatically
where column_name between @StartDate and @EndDate
2. In Design surface, expand Parameter node. Right-click @StartDate and open Parameter Properties dialog box.
3. In Data Type drop down list, select Date/Time.
4. In left pane, click Default Values, then select Specify Values.
5. Click (fx) button, in Expression text box, type the following expression, then click OK to save the options.
=DateSerial(YEAR(Today()),1,1)
6. Right click @Enddate and set Data Type to Date/Time as step3.
7. Repeat the options of step4 and 5 above, and type the expression like below, then click OK.
=DateAdd("d",-(Day(today())), Today())
For more information about Adding Parameters to Filter Reports by Date, please refer to the following document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337401(v=SQL.105).aspx
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Unable to join dimensions & measures from 2 diff context in single table

Hello,
I am a newbie in the BO & Webi arena and have an issue in merging dimensions & measures from two different contexts(in universe) in a single table.
I tried using ForceMerge but dint work out.
Heres my scenario,
query 1- Fiscal Yr, Month, Physician,Metric,Rate
query 2- Fiscal Yr, Month,Metric,Rating Scale,lower limit,upper limit
So, i have to ceate a report involving Fiscal Yr, Month, Physician,Metric,Rate & Rating Scale.
For each 'Metric' there is specific range which defines its 'Rating Scale'.
Ex. Tetanus Vaccine(Metric) has a the following scale
Lower limit Upper Limit Rating Scale
0           69                       0
70         89                       1
90         90                       2
91         95                       3
95         100                     4
The value of 'Rate' lies in between these values and accordingly it should get the scale.
So, the report should be like
fiscal yr Month Physician Metric Rate Scale
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vicky,
From what I have read in the above posts, you have merged Fiscal Yr, Month and Metric objects as they are the common dimensions. I assume "Physician" is the only other dimension among all the objects that you have listed.
In your report, you need to use the merged dimension for Fiscal Yr, Month and Metric. For Physician, you can use the dimension from query 1, as there are no other dimensions that you are planning to display.
If the above things are right, then your calculation should work correctly.
If it is not working correctly, I have a feeling that you have not merged Metric object. In case if you have any other dimensions than what is listed above, let me know.
Regards,
Srivatsa
