DECODE in the WHERE part of the query ?

Hello guys ,I am on 10gR2, and as always , the following mystery for me will be funny for you : ), so please share your knowledge.
I have one select on v$session , and i would to use something like DECODE function in the WHERE part of the query,
but , for the values i enter through the variables.
Currently i have something like :
WHERE status =upper('&session_status') AND username IS NOT NULL order by last_call_et desc;and that works fine, i enter either 'active' or 'inactive' and i get results.
But i would like to enter for example '1' for active and '2' for inactive, so i could write as little as i can as i am lazy. : )
Do you have some idea ?

hi there
select * from v$session where status = decode('&session_status',1,'ACTIVE','INACTIVE') AND username IS NOT NULL order by last_call_et descregards

Using a list in the where part of my query

I don't want to bother getting results for everyone in my DB.
I only want to retreive information from a list of up to 5
people - the list will constantly change.
I started with code below:
<cfparam name="useYear" default="Year(now())">

<cfset riderList="1,5,10,18,53">
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ListLen(riderList)#">
<cfquery name="getRiderSum" datasource="mileage">
SELECT riderId,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=1, rideDistance, 0)) AS janSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=2, rideDistance, 0)) AS febSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=3, rideDistance, 0)) AS marSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=4, rideDistance, 0)) AS aprSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=5, rideDistance, 0)) AS maySum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=6, rideDistance, 0)) AS junSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=7, rideDistance, 0)) AS julSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=8, rideDistance, 0)) AS augSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=9, rideDistance, 0)) AS sepSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=10, rideDistance, 0)) AS octSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=11, rideDistance, 0)) AS novSum,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=12, rideDistance, 0)) AS decSum
FROM mileageLog
WHERE riderId=#i#
AND Year(rideDate)=#useYear#
GROUP BY riderId
</cfquery>
</cfloop>
but how do I keep the information ordered by the riderId?
do I utilize the "i" as part of my query name?...
name="getRiderSum
do I utilize it as part of each monthly variable? ... AS
janSum etc.

You don't need a cfloop. Try an IN(...) clause instead.
Obviously you have to validate that the #riderlist# is not empty
first or the query will error.
SELECT riderId,
SUM(IIf(month(rideDate)=1, rideDistance, 0)) AS janSum,

The above code works fine and I get the correct numeric values from the SQL

the last statement in the WHERE condition. The beg_svc_dt field is a Date field.

I get the following error message
ERROR ORA-0722 INVALID NUMBER
I encode the word 'PRESENT' in a varchar2 end_svc_dt field on an Oracle form. This is the only word that can be encoded.
Is there some way that I can bypass the last statement in the where condition and
compute the values from the SQL query without having the SQL query abort?
Eventually I want to do this in a report. I know that this sounds strange but can it be done?

Storting dates in VARCHAR2 columns is bad practice, poor design and makes for horrible code.
The beg_svc_dt field is a Date field.
and (SUBSTR(END_SVC_DT,5,2) -
SUBSTR(BEG_SVC_DT,1,2)+1) not in ('30')If it's a date field then why on earth are you trying to SUBSTR it. SUBSTR = sub-string i.e. take a sub section of a string not sub-date.
I get the following error message
ERROR ORA-0722 INVALID NUMBERAnd you're surprised by this?
Is there some way that I can bypass the last

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Show Subreport Name in the header part of the main Report subreport wise

Hi,
I want to create a Report which contains a collection of Subreport.
In header part of the main report I have one expression which shows specific text for specific subreport.
In Detail
I have three subreport named as
Sureport1
Subreport2
Subreport3
I have given page name for all the three subreport as subreport name.
Now I create one Main report. Where I drag one table and delete the group.
I created three rows in this tablix.
And in each textbox I have inserted one rectangle.
and place all the three subreport.
and here my expression is mentioned below.
=IIf(Globals!PageName Like "Subreport1","Subreport1",
IIf(Globals!PageName Like "Subreport2","Subreport2",
IIf(Globals!PageName Like "Subreport3","Subreport3","")))
This expression is working when I am placing all the subreports inside separate rectangle but not working when I am placing all three subreports in one tablix.
For both case it is showing in report designer window but in second case it is not showing in the pdf.
Thanks,
Aswini Rout

Hi,
As the description, I understand that you want to display the subreports’ name on the page header of the main report. When the page display a subreport, display the corresponding subreport name in the header part of the main report.
Base on my understanding, you should have page break on each subreport(suppose you add the subreports without Rectangle) since there is no group in the main report and there should not be a page break in the main report. If I have misunderstood, please correct
me.
I was not able to reproduce the issue currently. How did you define the page name of your main report. If it is possible, please upload your rdl file to your OneDrive and share the link here. You can also capture the screenshot so that I can understand the
problem in more details.
Thanks.

The new itunes overfills my window. When I try to move it to the left so that I can use the slide bar on the right, part of the left side of screen is not visible. How can I fix this, please.

The new itunes overfills the window on my desktop ( windows 7). When I move it to the left so that I can access the slidebar on the right, part of the left side of the screen then disappears. How do I correct this?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
if you review the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
also the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
Good luck.

How to get only the last part of the URL in the doGet() method?

In the doGet() method is there a way to check what URL it was called from ? For example the URL was: http://localhost:8080/myproject/jsp/randomPhrase.php (the php here is purely for misleading purposes - it's all Java really). in the doGet() method I would like to get the "randomPhrase" part of the URL only - to determine where to redirect the user. How can I do that?
Thanks.

Hello there,
As it seems to me the part of the URL you're looking fo,r corresponds actually to the name of the servlet, so why don't you just call the getServletName method?

I would like to know it it's possible to change the scroll bar from the right part of the firefox browser, to the left part and, if it's possible, how can it be done. Thank you!

The scroll bar (the one used to scroll up and down any kind of website), that is normally in the right part of the firefox browser, would be of much help to me if it could sometimes be moved to the left part of the browser. Is this possible? How can it be done? Can anybody tell me the exact steps to take in order to do this (if it is possible of course)? This would be helpfull to me, since I think that the firefox scroll bar is overlaping the scroll part of the facebook chat sidebar, since I just can see a few people on this facebook chat sidebar and I can´t scroll along it, as I could a while ago. So my guess is that the firefox scroll bar is covering the other. In order to solve it in a simpler way, I guessed that if the firefox scroll bar could be moved to the left side of the browser, this problem could be solved. So, can anybody help me?

http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
filter for '''layout.scrollbar.side'''
Right-click the Preference and Modify it to '''3'''
You may need to reload any pages open to have scrollbar move to left after Preference change.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

A warning message in the Inbound part of the IDOC

Hi all,
A warning message is being displayed for the Inbound part of the IDOC.
Here is the message.
No filters , No conversion , No version change .
IDoc successfully processed in the ALE layer
    The IDoc has passed through the ALE layer successfully and can now be
    passed to the application. This transfer is either done online or as a
    background job, depending on the settings in the partner profile.
    If there are no further status records, the IDoc waits for the next run
    of the transfer report to the application.
    Success or failure when passing the IDoc to the application is
    documented in the subsequent status records.
Actions in the ALE layer
    The parameter 'No filters' indicates whether the processing in the ALE
    layer led to segments of the inbound IDoc being omitted. The important
    criteria here are the settings in the segment filter and in the
    distribution model for this sender.
    The parameter 'No conversion' indicates whether field values were
    converted in the ALE layer. This is the case if the IDoc contains
    organizational units to be converted, or if the ALE conversion tool for
    this sender is activated.
    The parameter 'No version change' indicates whether the IDoc was
    converted into an earlier version of the IDoc type. This happens if the
    IDoc type of the sender is different from its own IDoc type.
I have checked all the necessary Config settings and all of them are in place.
Your help on this will be highly appreciated.
- Surya.

Hi,
The IDOC may have successfully passed through the application, but check whether the status of the IDOC is changed to 53.
No filters, No conversions, No version change
occurs when the IDOC is not processed fully.
It may have stopped the processing without raising any error...
Check the program, whether there is any piece of code which stops the processing of the IDOC without changing its status to 51.
Sharin.

How to change the width and height of the visible part of the of the report

I have define a report with paper size 'Letter', orientation 'landscape' and 30 columns. Dynamically I am changing width of columns and suppressing many columns of the report.
Mostly using first 16-20 columns and others get suppressed.
Now problem is that when navigating the report thru crystal viewer, a huge blank spaces getting display on right of the report. When we take jump to some part of report thru navigation tree, the whole report gets shifted to left and only blank part is visible and it is required to scroll left.
Even printing is not working correctly.
Is there any way to change the width and height of the visible part of the report in the viewer thru .net classes? Setting the width and height of the report in Load event handler doesn't help.
Example: CrystalReportViewer1.Width = 200; - is not helping.
Is there any other solution?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Mahesh Patel

Hi Yogesh,
Your suggestion 'reportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize=PaperSize.PaperLedger;' along with 'PaperOrientation' setting as follow works fine. I tried to switch between Landscape and Portrait depending on report width.
reportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
But problem with crystal viewer remain as it is.
While navigating report thru crystal viewer, when we take jump to some part of report thru navigation tree, the whole report gets shifted to left and it is required to scroll left.
Thanks for your very good suggestion.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Is saying that it is charging but the green part on the battery, when it's is plugged up, is not going up. Why?

Ok so I just had bought a new iPod touch 4th generation from an apple store just at the end of last year and until now, it has been working awesome! But just today, I have it plugged up into a wall outlet and it says it was charging for a while but I kept an eye on it and every time I looked at the screen, I could tell the life of the battery had not gone up at all. I have tried resetting it by pressing the home and lock buttons but when I turn it back on and plug it in, the green part of the battery still has not gone up while it has been plugged up for at least an hour ! Do it need to take it to the apple store and ask them why it is doing this or can I do something about it that will actually make it charge? It is worrying me and I would like for the problem to be fixed as soon as possible.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Definitlely have it looked at. That could be a hardware deffect on the maker(apple) so there could be a definite replacement option.
