Date function giving different results for different connections

Hi there,
I am relatively new to BusinessObjects universe design, so please forgive me if this turns out to be a UTS (user-too-stupid) error.
I have created two universes. They are identical apart from the fact that they connect to different data marts (a live one and a testing one).
Within both universes there is an object with the following SQL:
CAST(CAST(( DispatchDateCalendar.yearNumber ) AS VARCHAR) + '/' + CAST(( DispatchDateCalendar.monthNumber ) AS VARCHAR) + '/01 00:00:00' AS DATETIME)
When I use the universe using WEBI connected to one data mart, I correctly get a set of dates and a corresponding set of dates with the day set to 1 (e.g. 23 Mar 2005 and 1 Mar 2005), but I change the WEBI query to point to the other universe, it incorrectly sets the month to 1 and leaves the day alone (i.e. the above to 23 Jan 2005).
When I run this using MS SQL Server Management Studio as part of a query against either data mart, I get the same results for both data marts:
SELECT
DispatchDateCalendar.date,
CAST(CAST(( DispatchDateCalendar.yearNumber ) AS VARCHAR) + '/' + CAST(( DispatchDateCalendar.monthNumber ) AS VARCHAR) + '/01 00:00:00' AS DATETIME)
FROM
DIMVolume INNER JOIN DIMIssue ON (DIMVolume.volumeKey=DIMIssue.volumeKey)
INNER JOIN DIMCalendar DispatchDateCalendar ON (DIMIssue.issuePublicationDate=DispatchDateCalendar.date)
WHERE
DIMVolume.volumePublicationYear = 2008
Has anyone got any advise on how I go about finding the cause of this problem and correcting it?
I asked our DBA who said he wouldn't know where to start looking.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Don't have any links (oracle documentation search?). Currently the databases I work with are mostly NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252 and I need to ensure that '£' and other characters are displayed correctly so a few years ago (after a little googling about the difference between windows and command line tools) I put host chcp 1252 in my glogin.sql.

P/L A/c for a single day gives different results for different users

Hi!
     We have SAP B1 8.81 (PL 09) in our office. P/L Account for a particular date gives different value for a single account (Other Income Account) for one user and a consistent value for all other users. The user in question is a super user and does not seem to pick a specific entry posted in the Other Income Account for that day thus giving erroneous result. I have checked the Trial Balance for that day and it gives proper result. Only the P/L account gives erroneous data. Could anyone help with the reason for this.
Thanks
Sreekumar

Hi Jitin,
          Thanks for your reply.
          I tried the way you mentioned. However, the result is the same.
          The entry that I'm talking about is an automatic journal entry posted through the Outgoing Payment option.
          To make it more clear, an outgoing payment to a vendor was posted on 05/19/11 for 1,42,178.32. The check was drawn only for 71,089.16 which was the correct amount and the remaining amount (71,089.16) got posted in the Other Income account. The P/L account for this date is not picking the amount of 71,089.16 in the Other Income Account.
Thanks & Regards
Sreekumar

List of deployed applications. Different results for different MBean hierarchies

Hello there,
When I list the deployed applications, I am getting different results depending what MBean hierarchy I am querying:
serverConfig():
wls:/MY_WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN/serverConfig> listApplications() APPLICATION_1APPLICATION_2
domainRuntime():
wls:/MY_WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN/domainRuntime/AppRuntimeStateRuntime/AppRuntimeStateRuntime> ls()
-r--   ApplicationIds                               java.lang.String[APPLICATION_1, APPLICATION_2, APPLICATION_3]
Any idea why is APPLICATION_3 in the list?
Thanks in advance,
Luis
ps: if I ask directly to the managed server:
wls:/MY_WEBLOGIC_DOMAIN/domainRuntime/ServerRuntimes/prodGAD_1> ls('ApplicationRuntimes')
dr--   bea_wls9_async_response
dr--   bea_wls_cluster_internal
dr--   bea_wls_deployment_internal
dr--   bea_wls_diagnostics
dr--   bea_wls_internal
dr--   APPLICATION_1
dr--   APPLICATION_2

Hello Vijaya,
Thanks for your answer, yes you are right, in my config.xml I can see that application:
<app-deployment>
    <name>APPLICATION_3</name>
    <target>...</target>
    <module-type>ear</module-type>
    <source-path>...ear</source-path>
    <security-dd-model>DDOnly</security-dd-model>
</app-deployment>
But at the moment that I read your response I had already restarted the AdminServer. This re-start has solved the issue.
Thanks,
Luis

Closing an application has different results for different applications

Hello,
what determines if an application quits or just close when you click the red X button? For example when you close Safari, the application stays in the dock as running application even if there are no open windows left. If you close iPhoto, the application quits.
Any idea? And is there a way to control this?
Thanks

If the app can do something with all windows closed, it will stay open when you Close the window. The close button closes windows. The Quit command quits applications. The application developer controls whether or not closing the last document window quits the app.
An app will stay open as it assumes you may want to start a new document. It costs virtually nothing to keep an app open, but takes some time to open the app and make it ready to create a new document.
iPhoto has nothing useful to do without the viewer window open, so it quits the app. Same with System Prefs. However, Text Edit, Word, etc. are ready for you to start creating a new document. Mail can receive email with no windows open.

VBA inserting form fields, different positions result for different users.

I'm certianly at a loss for wrapping my head around this.
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (v 9.5.4)
Excel 2010 (VBA)
The problem: When I create the PDF document from Excel, I search for a string of text in order to capture the Quads for the containing rectangle. Then I use the quads to insert a control with numeric offsets. The problem that I am facing is that the offsets seem to be causing the controls to be in different locations for different users. For example, when I send (-26, -2, 100, 10) {x-offset, y-offset, width, height}; the control aligns exactly where I want it. But when another user user runs the exact same routine, or opens the PDF that I created, the fields are no longer positioned correctly.
Is there some setting that I am missing? EDIT, SOLVED: My Acrobat had a custom point to pixel setting. (Preferences > Page Display > Resolution)
Private Function makePdfControl(ByVal pdfPage As Integer, keyTerm As String, Optional ByVal keyTermLookAhead As Integer = 0, Optional ctrlType As String = "text", Optional cCoords As Variant = 0)

Thanks for the reply, I did spend some time working on this issue... here is what I found...
1) First of all, I did have a custom Points to Inches setting in my Acrobat options... 110 vs 96.   Resetting this allowed for me to see the alignment issue that my colleagues were referencing first hand.
As it turned out, my results were better, but still had inconsistency among different workstations. Leading me to..
2) The MSFT creator uses the default printer in some way to create the PDF. Because the different workstations were using different printers, we were getting different results. If everyone used an HP 1320, nobody would see any difference upon creating / adding fields.
The final solution was to change the Application.Printer to a common network printer before the export operation, and return the Application.Printer to the user default after the export completed. This has provided us with a common ground to work upon; we are lucky to have a network printer that can be used for this purpose, as I can see this becoming non-viable in environments where this would be unavailable.

ResultSet.absolute(int) is a JDBC 2.0 function,
currently most JDBC-ODBC driver only support jdbc

check your jdbc driver.
It is so common why there is no compilation error, but

Purchasing info records with different prices for different packaging

Hi,
hope, someone can help me.
We have different prices for different kind of packaging, but all the material is bought in the same unit, i.e. kg.
Let's say, usually you buy x kg in a drum, but sometimes you buy y (or x) kg in a bottle or in a bag.
We won't allow variable order units. Even if we would, it's not helpful, because we always order kg.
So the price depends on a criterion - I don't know, which to take. And we want to maintain the different prices in the info records.
Is there a solution?

Hi.
I went through the history of the problem.It seems that your base unit of measure is KG.Also you have mentined that same material is used in various plants.
You need to activate the variable ordering unit 2 in material master. This is present in the materila master Purchasing tab.Also note that this data is maintained at plant level. This will not have any impact on the materials which are presnt in the other plants.
After activating variable order unit in materal master. You need maintains the conversion factors from Order units to Base UOM.(Eg 1 KG = 1 KG, 1BOX = 10 KG etc)
Create inforecord for the material and maintain price in Base unit of measure.
In PO enter the order unit as BOX system will automatically calculate the price of BOX based on the conversion factors which are maintained in the material master.
I belive this is the simple and best solution for your requirement..
If you have any suggestions please let me know
Cheers

Different aggregation for different Dimensions

Hello,
is it possible to have different aggregations on different dimensions.
I have following situation:
I have a measure per client and day.
I'm interested in the maximum per month from the daily sums over clients.
In the measure properties I can only choose between Maximum and Sum in general but not per Dimensions.
To clearify what i mean here is some sample data.
* * Client A * Client B *
* 2014-11-28 * 7 * 8 * SUM() = 15
* 2014-11-29 * 6 * 8 * SUM() = 14
* 2014-11-30 * 6 * 10 * SUM() = 16 <-- monthly max
* 2014-12-01 * 7 * 8 * SUM() = 15
* 2014-12-02 * 5 * 12 * SUM() = 17 <-- monthly max
* 2014-12-03 * 6 * 9 * SUM() = 15
This data is stored in my fact table with reference to date and client dimensions.
This example data would have to be reported as:
/* Report on measure
* * Measure *
* 2014-11 * 16 *
* 2014-12 * 16 *
* Report on measure per client
(max per client and month)
* * Client A * Client B *
* 2014-11 * 7 * 8 *
* 2014-12 * 7 * 12 *
Can this be achieved with SSAS? Didn't find any property for that on the measure.
Best Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
According to your description, you want to calculate different aggregation for different dimensions, right?
Based on your scenario, I tested it on AdventureWorks cube, the query below is for you reference.
with member [Customer].[Country].[USA & Canada] as
Aggregate( { [Customer].[Country].&[United States],
[Customer].[Country].&[Canada]
member [Measures].[MaxAmount]
as
max([Date].[Calendar].currentmember.children,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
select {[Customer].[Country].&[United States],[Customer].[Country].&[Canada],[Customer].[Country].[USA & Canada]} on 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Month].members on 1
from
[Adventure Works]
where [Measures].[MaxAmount]
Here is similar thread with yours, please see:

Making different signals for different color average of the pixcells

Hello, everyone.
I'll take image of paper money by webcam,
and get the color average of the bills
and fractionate the color average by wavelength range of each bills.
and I want to making signal releasing time differently for different color average of the pixcells.(to fractionate the kind of bills)
(I want different signal for different kind of bills)
my question is this:
(1)How can I connect the webcam to the Labview?
(2)How can I get the color average of paper money?
(3)How can I make Labview program for releasing different signals which has different releasing time for each color average?

Hi 박지성,
you can use the IMAQ for USB Driver. See this link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5030. You can also use the integrated windows dll to get your picture.
Hope it helps.

One thing I miss is being able to have different "vibrates' for different events.

One thing I miss is being able to have different "vibrates' for different events. My BB 9700 allowed me to set short/medium/long lengths and one/two/three vibrates. It would be great to get these back on the BB Z10 again.

All BB needs to do is offer the same notification functionality they had in OS 7.1 (I say 7.1 as they gave you control over the LED colour as well which was great), and it would be perfect. Notifications on every other platform pail in comparison to what my 9900 could do (and unfortunately the Z10 is included in that list).
I know it is a new OS but it isn't likey they don't know what they need to offer.
Hopefully it comes sooner than later as this is one of those 'key' BlackBerry experiences which has been lost as part of the 'upgraded' OS.

Different LOV for different rows

Hi,
Imagine a tabular report with a number of rows, and a select list for each row populated based on data in that row.
I've seen a solution for this in a few threads, but I've tried to replicate it in 4.2.1.00.08 with no success
Select list filter in a tabular form problem
Tabular form - Different LOV for different rows
my query includes this as a column
APEX_UTIL.SAVEKEY_NUM(duration) durationwith another column defined as "Select List (query based on LOV)" using
select apex_util.keyval_num d, apex_util.keyval_num r from dualand while the duration varies, the LOV is always stagnant.
This occurs in both classic & updateable reports (tabular forms).
I was skeptical that it would work anyway, since I'm sure the query is resolved/bound before rendering each LOV - but that's just assuming background process logic.
Is the only alternative solutions to use APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY() ?
Scott

Ahh, I had only tried that on my classic report example. It only seems to have that effect on the tabular form.
Makes me hesitant to use it with that kind of behaviour.
When comparing normal tabular form, one set to generic, and another changed back - I saw no differences in the metadata that I would think have some form of impact on rendering behaviour
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_REGIONS -- customization/timeout_cache_after changed, component_signature had trailing 0
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT_COLS -- lost tabular form attributes, region had lost selector column, in fact I'm having trouble bringing it back to a point where it actually saves data.

How to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on

how to use data function using characterstics variable for calculation on attribute as key figure

Hi Gayatri
Did you not see my answer for CASE because CASE does indeed offer the use of the BETWEEN clause, but DECODE does not. Let me give you a little synopsis of DECODE.
In its most simple form it takes 4 values and looks like this: DECODE(A, B, C, D)
This essentially means, IF A = B THEN C ELSE D
The trick to solving BETWEEN in a DECODE is to work out algoriths where A = B. Because we don't know how many values are between 00 and 99, although I could guess there were 100 we could of course have 100 parts in the DECODE but that would be awful. How about if we look at it another way and say this:
IF PART_NUMBER < 'SDK00' THEN pay_amount
ELSE IF PART_NUMBER > 'SDK99' THEN pay_AMOUNT
ELSE pay_amount + 100
This statement only had 2 hard coded values, but how to make DECODE work with less than? Easy, we use the LEAST function. The LEAST function takes 2 values and returns the one with the lowest value. So I use LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00') then whenever the PART_NUMBER is lower than SDK00 it will be true. A similar situation exists for the opposite function GREATEST. Putting all of this together then, you can do this:
DECODE(PART_NUMBER, GREATEST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK00'), DECODE(PART_NUMBER, LEAST(PART_NUMBER, 'SDK99'), PAY_AMOUNT * 100, PAY_AMOUNT), PAY_AMOUNT)
In English this can be read as follows:
IF the PART_NUMBER is greater than or equal to SDK00 and the PART_NUMBER is less than or equal to SDK99 THEN PAY_AMOUNT x 100 ELSE 0
Best wishes
Michael
