Data slicing and dicing

Hi,
What is the difference between data slicing and data dicing?

Hi,
Slice and Dice
The ability to move between different combinations of dimensions when viewing data with an OLAP browser.
Multidimensional analysis tools organize the data in two primary ways: in multiple dimensions and in hierarchies.
Slicing and dicing refers to the ability to combine and re-combine the dimensions to see different slices of the information. Picture slicing a three-dimensional cube of information, in order to see what values are contained in the middle layer. Slicing and dicing a cube allows an end-user to do the same thing with multiple dimensions.

Slicing and dicing with FW CS4?

Hi there,
I am having a few issues understanding FW CS4 and where it
fits in the market, but i think i am understanding it now and was
looking for some confirmation and advice.
Basically i have created my website in PS CS4 and i am ready
to slice and dice which i would normally do in PS but weather i am
missing something it appears that once i export to html and slices
i will need to edit the CSS and fine tune it i.e. Absolute
positioning, etc etc..
It appears FW CS4 supports more advanced slicing features ...
so i was wondering if i do the following, is this considered the
recommended way ??
Create my design etc in PS (due to it being quite advanced -
and i just don't see the same features in FW)
Import my PSD into FW CS4
Slice in FW and export after customising each DIV etc
I don't know if anyone can help me here????
Is this right? or should i still do my slicing in PS?? I
presume not as FW seems more powerful
FW also seems to support exporting to EXTERNAL css file...
I look forward to any info anyone can offer

I agree with Linda regarding the creation of the design. If
there is
something in particular you are trying to do in PS and can't
find the
equivalent in FW, please let us know.
If you follow the guidelines in the tutorials below, FW will
generate a
relatively positioned layout, using floats. If objects
(slices, text or
rectangles) overlap, FW switches to Absolute Positioning.
If you are planning to use the CSS and images export in
Fireworks, I
strongly recommend you read the tutorials listed below.
Chances are,
yes, you will need to fine tune the CSS after exporting from
Fireworks.
>>> So i would use the html that was exported to
either fine tune it
or use it as reference etc
It could go either way, but I think you would have a better
chance using
the CSS generated from FW by installing the new CSS export
script (3rd link)
>>>I presume its better to have all images as
"background" images on a
div etc, does FW CS4 take care of this?? if so how?? ...
otherwise i
presume i just need to edit the css manually?
If the graphics are just cosmetic then yes, it's probably a
good idea to
set them as background images. FW has both foreground and
background
slices. You choose which you want from the Property
inspector. FW will
export them accordingly.

NSString slicing and dicing

I'm finding string processing very cumbersome in ObjC. For example, I have the NSMutableString *board set to "abcde" (or whatever) and I want to insert blanks between each letter. Here's what I've written:
    // Perl equivalent: $boardDisplay = join('_', split(//, $board));
    NSMutableString *boardDisplay; // temp buffer in which to build display string
    [boardDisplay setString:@""]; // init to empty string (necessary?)
    for (int i = 0; i < self.wordLength; ++i) { // one letter at a time
        [boardDisplay
            appendString:
                [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%C",[self.board characterAtIndex:1]]
        // Don't append a trailing '_'
        if (i < self.wordLength - 1 )
            [boardDisplay
                appendString:
                [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%C", (unichar) ' ']
    self.boardLabel.text = boardDisplay; // finally, move display text onto UI
Is there any easier way to do this? Assembler language, perhaps? :-)
Have I left out any memory management issues?

a lot of the stuff I do has always heavily involved text processing. NSString is clearly not cut out for that
I wouldn't go that far. There are an awful lot of methods you can call. Sometime you may have to think of things slightly differently than you did before. It may be a bit "wordy" but that will have no impact on the final performance. For example, you could probably separate each character in a string with a space by doing something with "enumerateSubstringsInRange:options:usingBlock:" Try this:
#include <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
int main(void)
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSMutableString * hello = [@"Hello World" mutableCopy];
[hello
    enumerateSubstringsInRange: NSMakeRange(0, [hello length])
    options: NSStringEnumerationByComposedCharacterSequences
    usingBlock:
      ^(NSString * substring,
        NSRange substringRange,
        NSRange enclosingRange,
        BOOL * stop)
        if(substringRange.location)
          [hello insertString: @" " atIndex: substringRange.location];
NSLog(@"'%@'", hello);
[pool drain];
return 0;
Are there any 3rd-party libraries that can be used with xcode/objc, akin to the C++ STL string class, that provide memory management for strings and a rich set of functions for string manipulation?
You can always use Objective-C++ and just use STL itself.
Having Perl 5 available for back-end "engines" would be wonderful! Has that happened yet?
You can always use PCRE or a number of more Cocoa-friendly regular expression libraries. Still, none of them approach Perl for ease of use.

Slicing and Dicing a RAW cut

Ok, this is a really basic question, but I dont see it addressed in the Adobe Premiere Classroom in a book
I used Capture (F5) to get all the RAW footage from the camera into one big file. I have already set clip markers at the beginning of all the takes. What is the best way to slice and dice the RAW footage into all the different takes that I can place in my sequence?
Sam

The best way is to load the clip in the Source Monitor, add in and out points of the first segment you want, then drag the image in the source monitor onto the timeline. Repeat.
You can create items in the Project Panel by dragging from the Source Monitor to the Project panel.
You will also find links to many
free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

USB cable on keyboard sliced and diced - can I buy new cable or ???

Apparently the sliding keyboard tray mounted on the underside of this desk has a VERY sharp roller or exposed screw... or something... because when I rolled it out, the USB cable connecting the keyboard to the computer was looped inside the track and something in there cut through the cable like had been cut with a razor blade. It wasn't even stuck in there, just rolled over it like a hot knife through butter. Is it possible to order a new cable, open up the keyboard and put it in there, or do I have to cough up for a whole new keyboard?
****. I knew I hated this ugly old desk. The keyboard is worth more than the stupid desk to be sure. Grrrrrr.
But, I digress. Has anyone replaced a keyboard cable? This nice aluminum keyboard is only 2 mos. old.

Ouch, nasty - did you by any chance use a credit card to buy the keyboard? AmEx and Visa will sometimes refund the purchase price.

I have data caps and need to do a clean mavericks install

Hello.
I recently bought a used Mac mini and not realizing the new Mac OS installation options are over the internet, I erased the hard drive and tried to do the system recovery.
Unfortunately I'm on rural broadband, I have a small data cap and my connection is unreliable. Even if I try to just do it anyway and eat the overage charges I only get corrupt downloads that won't work. Tried downloading the installer from the local library's free wifi and made a USB stick but it still insists on re-downloading when I try to install.
Is there any way to do it offline using a copy of the OS downloaded somewhere else? My research says no, Apple if you're listening please please provide that option. This really ***** :(
If I go to an apple store will they charge me a lot to do it? Would they let me plug in a monitor and keyboard/mouse and let me do it myself for free?

Most Apple Stores are pretty good. Or a friend with a large download limit. Just make sure that where ever you go to download it that you use your OWN Apple ID. Then copy it to the USB Stick, copy it to your Application folder and reinstall. (Note that the installer removes itself after installation, so keep that copy either on the USB stick or copy to an external drive, etc.)

Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

Hi Everybody,
if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
Thank all guys
Bye
Maurizio

Thanks EW for your answer,
YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
I have 500 account members.
For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
{Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
"PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
endfix
So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
Thank you Ew, thank you guys

Data Federator data lineage and impact analysis

Hi,
I am looking for the use of data lineage and impact analysis feature in data federator at Universe level.
Can I know which objects are using which fields by uisng impact feature in the data federator.
Thanks in Advance.

I realize this answer is a cop out but I'll suggest it anyway. Upgrade.
I struggled with getting the lineage and impact analysis working in 10.1 and had to do quite a bit of trial and error in the Apache configuration files, DAD's ,etc. because the lineage reports were web based. I never got them working in Production due to other much more pressing implementation issues at the time and never went back to fix them.
In 10.2 and above the reports are much easier to get with no real configuration needed.
Anyway, back to your question, I would suggest going back through the 10.1 documentation on getting those to work and have someone a bit familiar with setting up Apache help you. I did get them working in our Test environment but its been so long I can't recall all the steps and tricks, sorry.

Copy data models and reports from BW 3.1 to NW 2004s

Hi experts,
Our client has two BW servers: BW 3.1 and BI 7. BW 3.1 contains lots of data models and reports. And the BI 7 server is newly installed.
Now we want to copy these data models and reports from BW 3.1 to the new BI 7 server. Are there any solutions for this?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Frank,
Sounds like a cross version transport is needed.
This is a solution we have used to do what you want to do:-
Create and release a transport as per normal.
Copy and transport the files from the source system (BW 3.1) e.g /usr/sap/trans/data & /usr/sap/trans/cofiles to the same folders on the target system.
Basis help is needed here.
From here onwards using stms_import should help you in the normal manner.
Works a treat.
Have transported the following all correctly appearing as 3.x data models in NW2004s.
DSO objects.
Cubes
Transfer/Update rules
Reports.
Cheers,
Pom

Diff b/w Data warehouse and Business Warehouse

Hi all,
what is the Diff b/w Data warehouse and Business Warehouse?

hi..
The diferrence between Datawarehousing and Business Warehouse are as follows.
DataWarehousing is the concept and BIW is a tool that uses this concept in Business applicaitons.
DataWarehousing allows you to analyze tons of data (millions and millions of records of data) in a convinent and optimum way, it is called BIW when applied to Business applications like analyzing the sales of a company.
Advantages- Consedering the volume of business data, BIW allows you to make decisions faster, I mean you can analyze data faster. Support for multiple languges easy to use and so on.

Data fileds and key fields in DSO

Can any one explain what exactly difference between data fileds and keyfields in DSO or the concept of these two
And how to know which fields should be assigned to data filed or key field
with regards,
musai

Hi Musai,
Let me take an ex. Say you have 3 fields A, B & C. Let us assume 'A' is keyfield, 'B' & 'C' are Datafields.
Lets assume the PSA data is :
A             B              C
001      Musai        89.9
002      Musai        89.9
003      Pavan       75.00
So when you load the data to DSO, since all the keyfield values are unique (001,002,003), all the records will get loaded to DSO.
But If PSA data is :
A             B              C
001      Musai        89.9
001      Musai        85.7
003      Pavan       75.00
Only 2nd & 3rd rows will be loaded to DSO since 1st & 2nd row have same value for keyfield (001). So 1st row gets overwritten(or summation depending on what is the setting in Transformation rule for C considering C is Keyfigure) by 2nd when you load to DSO. 3rd row doesn't have any problem. So that will go as it is.
Also please note that we cannot use Keyfigures as keyfield.
Hope it is clear now!
Regards,
Pavan

Create two or more data sources and mapping to DSO

Hi,
I´m using SAP Netweaver BI 7.0.
If there are two or three data sources which have to be mapped to DSO which field from Data Sources has to be mapped to which field in DSO?
Is it possible to have only one DSO or should it be three DSOs because of the three Data Sources?
The thing is I have created one view out of three tables. For the view I have created one DSO. Everything worked fine. But now the requirements have changed because of currencies.
The view I have created is now mixing currencies because in the view is only one currency field, which is filled from the three tables. Two tables have different currencies and one table has one currency.
The one currency of the one table is important and should stay like it is.
I´m thinking about something like three different currency key fields in DSO which are mapped from data source. Also for every field of data source mapping with corresponding field in DSO.
Some hints? I have found articles in SDN about creating data sources and so on but they don´t help me in this matter.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you guys for explaining! I´m new to SAP BW and trying to better understand.
I`ll try it also with the view. It sounds "easier".
But if I´m doing it with the 3 data sources, that means that for each currency field of the data source I will need an corresponding currency field in the DSO for mapping.
Is it possible to have 3 times the 0Currency field in the DSO and each data source currency field will be mapped to the DSO?
If that would work the 0Currency has to be contained in the key figures.
But if the 0Currency is contained in each key figure will the assignment of currency work correct?
+For example:+
Data Source1:
Turnover in Euro.
(All currency is in Euro)
Data Source2:
Profit in Dollar.
Profit in Euro.
Profit in Yen.
Profit in different currencies available.
Data Source3:
Sales in Dollar.
Sales in Euro.
Sales in Yen.
Sales in different currencies available.
For mapping from DataSources to DSO if it is possible to have 3 times 0Currency in DSO:
Data Source1 currency fiield ---> DSO 0Currency
Data Source2 currency fiield ---> DSO 0Currency
Data Source3 currency fiield ---> DSO 0Currency
Does it make sense?

Data fields and key fields

Hi,
Data fields and key fields are same as Characteristcs and key figures? Or they are diffrerent?
Thanks,
Radha

HI
Key Fields = Acts as Primary Key for The ODS like Primary of Tables in R3.
Data fields = Apart from Key fields We consider rest as data fields.
Ususally we use Characteristic info Objects and Dates in Key Fields and Key figures in Data fields.
It's decisive factor for overwriting property of ODS or DOS.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rangzz
