Custom LOV or How to selct a Employe and their Dept is passed into a prompt

I have been given a change request to enhance an existing Webi report built over a universe with a BEx query as the source.
Currently they are prompted to enter an "employee name" but they now want to select the employee name but the result set to come back for the complete data set for they department they work in.  For example select Andrew and the data for all employees in the consulting dept to be returned.
In old school BOBJ a work around was to put the prompt on the department name and amend the LOV to show 2 columns, Dept Name and Employee Name. So the users would scan down the list of employees ( column 2 in the LOV) and select them which would in fact select the department name and pass that back to the query to restrict the data set.
Is there any work around or thought you can suggest to help out in the new world of a universe over BEx ?

Hi,
Sound like something that is easier implemented in the BEX query with a user exit variable.
Ask your BW developers if you want to know more...
Another option is to (ab)use the hierarchical display of prompts;
create an LOV object for department with a built in (XMLfilter) condition on employee (use the normal employee LOV).
set the LOV to use hierachical display.
create a custom (XML) filter for department and point to the LOV for this prompt to the new LOV object for department.
(hide the LOV object from the end-user...)
What that should give you is a list of employees with a plus sign in front.
Clicking on the plus will show the department.
This they can select...
Hope this helps,
Marianne

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep?!!!

    I would like to play a movie on my iMac but to watch it on my LCD TV. How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep. PLS have in mind that ctrl+shift+ eject does not work, it makes my iMac screen go  black as well as the  tv screen.So far, i have red many articles concerning this subject, but no one seems to have the right answer. I simply can´t believe that apple did not think of it, as it is nothing new ....
    Thanks

    My brother has eight cats, so your not along. Fortunetly his go outside.
    I have been talking to the people over at macforums and they had some good thoughts. One guy suggested going analog and soldering in a rocker switch on the cable connecting a hub to the computer, turn off switch turns off keyboard and mouse.
    I was prepared to try that but a great idea came along. Arch, you might be interested in this too. Buy a cheap (found one locally for $20) usb kvm switch that takes one usb keyboard and mouse and connects it to two pcs/macs and only connect one of the outs to my system. There is a button to switch between the two, so when I want to disable the keyboard and mouse, I just switch it to pc2, which is not connected to anything.
    Cheap and easy solution. I wish I could of figured out how to do this with software, since there would be no money if it was freeware, but I guess you cant win them all.
    Thanks everyone for chiming in!

  • How do i uninstall applications and their packages without littering trashcan

    how do i uninstall applications and their packages without littering trashcan.
                                                                                                       *sincerly nube*

    OK. That wasn't clear at first. See the following:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • How do I relink audio and sound mxf clips brought into Premiere CC. (works fine in CS5.5)

    How do I relink audio and sound mxf clips brought into Premiere CC.  Didn't have this problem in CS5.5 so unsure why they unlink in CC.

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • How do I get folders and their content to show up in the "Administrative Console"?

    We have added a few sub folders under the “webroot” folder. I did this so I could make a custom web page that generates the code need to display the video in a web page if it is one of the folders.
    My question is how do I get these folders and their content to show up in the “Administrative Console”?
    Also how do I get the videos to be logged?
    I have looked through the Server.xml and Application.xml files and the fms.ini but do not see any place, Am I not looking for the correct setting?
    Attached is a pic of the folders.
    Thanks
    Chip

    If Apache and MS do not talk to each other then where or should I be making these folders, some other location?
    Maybe under the vod folder under applications?
    Where in the “Flash Media Server” pdf would this be talked about?
    Would I edit the Application xml file?
    I am so new it hurts!

  • How to copy the  positions and their relationships of one org.unit to other

    f there about 20 organization units among which 6 org.units have same positions and same relationships ,i know that we can create one org.units and their relationships among 6 similar org.units and then copy the same position and relationships to other 5 org.units as well instead of individually creating positions and assigning relationships to them  which results in wasting a quality time.but i dont know how to copy it? so please help me by informing me in details how to copy the positions n their relationships to other org units.

    Hi.
    This may sound like a bit of a pain in the *** but why not save the channel strip settings into your own folder then that way you can open them up in other songs and you have some channel strips to try out when you cant find anything else to fit. Plus its fun to open up lots of different audio onto the tracks and see what the effects sound like, Brian Eno style.....
    Hope this helps

  • How to export a user and their schema from one 10g database to another?

    Hi,
    I would like to export a user and their entire schema from one 10g database to another one. How do I do this?
    thx
    adam

    If you want to export a user and the schema owned to the user, and import to the same user in a different database, or a different user in the same database, you can use the exp and imp commands as described in the Utilities manual.
    These commands are very versatile and have a lot of options - well worth learning properly. To give you a simplistic shortcut, see below - I create a user 'test_move', create some objects in the schema, export, create a new user in the database 'new_move' and import.

    There are many variations on the theme ...
    You can simplify this. You can select tables individually. You can use a parameter file. You can transport all the constraints and data. You can skip the data and only move the definitions. You can get some help (imp/exp help=yes).
    And, if it's all 10g, there is a new and improved facility called expdp/impdp (dp = data pump) which has a lot more capability as well, including direct transfer (no intermediate file) together with suspend/restart. Also documented in the Utilities manual.

  • How to transfer iPhone apps and their data to new MacBook Pro?

    I just got the new Retina Macbook Pro. Before, I synced my iPhone with my iMac. Now I want to sync my iphone with my new RMBP instead. I transfered my music and applications to the new Mac. My music syncs to my iPhone just fine, however, if I click to check to sync my iPhone applications to this computer then a warning message pops up saying all my existing apps and data will be deleted. I aready clicked transfer purchases to my new Mac, so all my apps are already on the computer.
    But how do I get my apps to sync with my new Mac, without deleting all my apps data?

  • How does this program group and cluster these button values into an array?

    In the attached program, there are 6 buttons in a cluster and 1 individual button. These buttons control a bunch of different relays to control power to different components of a single device. Right now the program works in that I can control the 6 buttons, the LED turns on in the board and the power is being transmitted. What I do not understand is how it is doing this.  I ran the program with the highlight execution on and at the start of the read from array component, if say I pressed button 6 and hit ok, it reads #6, where did these get defined and labled? and if i wanted to add another button/relay how do i do this? If someone could explain step by step how this is grouping the relays on the board into an array and then controling them I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Cluster to Array.vi ‏85 KB

    The #6 your seeing is the number of elements in the array not a value for the array. 
    Now for some deeper explainations.   From the code it appears that exactly 1 of 6 valves may be used and an additional valve may be in one of two possible states.
    When the program is run the cluster of buttons is initiallized to all False.  and we enter the outer while loop where a sequence structure starts.  In the first frame of the sequence we initiallize a shift register to hold the current value of "Buttons." and this loop runs unthrottled (Add a wait for next ms multiple to this loop to prevent using 100% of the CPU!) 
    For each iteration the buttons are read and if a change has occured to any value buttons that were previously True are reset to False to prevent opening more than one valve.
    When the user presses OK or stop- the current "Buttons" value is passed to the next frame.  This frame convertsthe 7 boolean values to a integer where each valve is controlled by a seperate bit of the integer (Isolation is bit 6 and bits 0-5 each control a mixing valve)
    Now I'd strongly recommend reworking the DAQmx calls- it is pointless to initiallize the task each time you want to use it- Create the task in the initialzation case and wait until the user exits to destroy the task.  And well a sequence structures are frowned on- (there are better ways to do this)
    As far as adding a relay- right now the relays are associated to the hardware by their index position in the cluster (element 1 = bit 0 etc....) to add a new valve you would need to decide what bit you would use to drive it and code in that bits' value to write a 0 in that bit.  (hint the 40 constant is realy 0x40 right-click>visable items>show radix )
    Let me know if you need further elaboration

    Use the B002 relationship. For the CA employees, obtain the positions from their IT0001 and then look up hrp1001 for a b002 relationship to identify supervisory positions.

  • How to put Author name and other book/magazine information into iTunes

    Hi,
    I'm trying to organize my pdf's in iTunes (and while I'm at it, I'm putting some web magazines in as well).  I know to highlight the title and press Command/I to edit information, but categories like "author", "publisher" don't come up even though I can sort by those fields. 
    Is there a way in iTunes to add that information/tag to my pdf's? 
    Thanks

    This is why I think iTunes, in its present form, is completely unsuited for cataloging eBooks. However you can do what you want to do with the existing tags. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a screen cap for you to illustrate how:
    And the various other sorting options:
