Define DimensionAttribute type in the SSAS CUBE when using MDX function YTD()

hi there:
I am trying to use YTD() in mdx and am aware that I need to first define dimDate to Time type and define each dimensionAttribute to appropriate type. HOwever, I am very confused by the large amount of selections in the Type dropdown list.
For example, I have a dimenionAttribute called [S Week Of Year] and in the type, there are two sections Calendar and Fiscal under Date and each contains week type, which one should I choose? Also is there any reference where I could learn to pick the right
type?
thanks

Hi Cat_ca,
The value of the Type property for an attribute determines the attribute type, and specifies the type of information contained by that attribute. Many of the available options represent types which are used by client applications to display or support an
attribute. Attribute types in Analysis Services fall in into five categorized groups. These attribute type groups include:
General: These values are available to all attributes, and exist only to enable classification of attributes for client application purposes.
Account Dimension: These values identify an attribute that belongs to an account dimension.
Currency Dimension: These values identify an attribute that belongs to a currency dimension.
Slowly Changing: These values identify an attribute that belongs to a slowly changing dimension.
Time Dimension: These values identify an attribute that belongs to a time dimension.
Please refer to the link below to see the details.

Besides, here is a similar issue SSAS YTD issue Calendar vs. Fiscal for your reference.

TS2570 doesn't work, still the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software.

i tried everything in this article, but still have the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software. I am converting my iWeb site to Rapidweaver, whenever there is a calmer period in my office. I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.
i think i have reinstalled Macos OS X 10.8.2 20 or 30 times by now
does anyone have a sollution?

Type '''about:support''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
Scroll down almost to the bottom of that listing and see if you have '''user.js Preferences''' just above the '''''Graphics''''' category.
If you do have that, click on '''user.js file''' in this sentence. <br />
''Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.''
Does that "different homepage" appear in that user.js file?

Why is the response time when using clickwheel...

I've bought a new 60gb video and, in comparison to my 20gb 3rd generation, the response time when using the clickwheel (next track/pause/play/bak track) is annoyingly long on start-up. And the display takes seconds to catch up with what's playing sometimes freezing with half of the one 'page' showing and half of another. Should I expect this because of the larger capacity/more complex iPod?
Also, in an earlier post I noted that when the iPod first fires up, tracks seem to stop and start - just for a second or so, 3 or 4 times within the first 15 seconds. It's not the track on iTunes as it never happens on my 3g.
Dell Windows XP

Definately sounds like a faulty harddrive.
You could always try restoring it with the most recent updater, and reloading everything - kind of like a fragmented harddrive, I am noticing better performance since I last wiped it clean and relaoded it (due to another error - actually)....

How to create ssas cube by using MySQL Database

please tell me step by step process to create ssas cube by using MySQL database in my system, i have Sqlserver 2008 enterprise edition and MySql5.0

There is an OLEDB provider for MySQL which you can get from here
https://cherrycitysoftware.com/ccs/Providers/ProvMySQL.aspx otherwise you can also use SSIS to push the data straight into the Analysis Services database without needing to stage it in SQL Server. Also, as you can load data into AS using XMLA you could
also write your own loader to extract data using ODBC and push it into AS using XMLA, essentially what I suspect SSIS does. However those latter solutions don't allow you to create a database on top of MySQL because you need an OLEDB (or .net) provider for
that.
In the simplest case, install the OLEDB provider and then in AS create a Data Source connection using that provider. Once you have done that you should be able to create a Data Source View using that connection enabling you to import the schema definitions
for the tables/views in the MySQL database. From there you build dimensions and cubes etc. about which there is plenty of information on the web.

Using just the TV screen when using HDMI port?

Hi,
I have the Macbook Pro with retina display and I was wondering how I could use just the TV screen when using HDMI port. I don't want mirroring displays, just one on the TV.

With the TV connected and the MBP plugged into the mains (i.e. not running on battery power) close the lid. The MBP will go to sleep, wake it up with an external keyboard or mouse - which must be connected in advance, or paired in advance if a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

Get rid of the initial asterisk when using PasswordField masking in console

Hi!
How can I get rid of the initial astrerisk when using the PasswordField script from Sun?
I've tried to check whether the BufferedReader is empty or not, but with no succes.
Here comes the code:
PasswordField.java
import java.io.*;
public class PasswordField {
    *@param prompt The prompt to display to the user
    *@return The password as entered by the user
   public static String readPassword (String prompt) {
      EraserThread et = new EraserThread(prompt);
      Thread mask = new Thread(et);
      mask.start();
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      String password = "";
      try {
         password = in.readLine();
      } catch (IOException ioe) {
        ioe.printStackTrace();
      // stop masking
      et.stopMasking();
      // return the password entered by the user
      return password;
}EraserThread
import java.io.*;
class EraserThread implements Runnable {
   private boolean stop;
    *@param The prompt displayed to the user
   public EraserThread(String prompt) {
       System.out.print(prompt);
    * Begin masking...display asterisks (*)
   public void run () {
      stop = true;
      while (stop) {
         System.out.print("\010*");
      try {
         Thread.currentThread().sleep(1);
         } catch(InterruptedException ie) {
            ie.printStackTrace();
    * Instruct the thread to stop masking
   public void stopMasking() {
      this.stop = false;
}

Hello Yajai,
The example program will use the default value for timeout, 10 seconds. To change this, you will have to set the Stream.Timeout value. I inserted this function into the example and set it equal to -1, and the program will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal without timing out. Please see the attached image to how this was implemented.
I hope this help. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Sean C.

I thought that to have a longer frame rate you just need to have a longer sample set.

Question about the CSS behavior when using layer 3 sticky and sticky table

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the CSS behavior when using layer 3 sticky and sticky table is full.
If I configure layer 3 sticky and specify the inactivity timeout as below, how does the CSS
handle subsequent needed sticky requests ?
advanced-balance sticky-srcip
sticky-inact-timeout 30
CSS document says that
Note:
If you use the sticky-inact-timeout command to specify the inactivity timeout
period on a sticky connection, when the sticky table becomes full and none of
the entries have expired from the sticky table, the CSS rejects subsequent
needed sticky requests.
My question is what is the next reaction by doing the CSS if the CSS is in the
following condition:
when the sticky table becomes full and none of the entries have expired from
the sticky table, the CSS rejects subsequent needed sticky requests
Does CSS just rejects/drops subsequent needed sticky requests ?
or
Does CSS does not stick subsequence requests to particular service but CSS forward
subsequence requests with round-robin basis ? which means if the sticky table is full,
the CSS just works round-robin load balancing fashion for subsequence requests ?
Your information would be appreciated.
Best regards,

Hello,
There is a good document explaining this on Cisco web site
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note09186a0080094b4b.shtml
It depends if the sticky-inact-timeout is used or not. If not, it's FIFO (the oldest entry in the sticky table is removed). If yes, the CSS will reject the next sticky request.

Omit the XML declaration when using the PHP MM_XSLTransform class

Hi
Is there any way to omit the XML declaration when using the
PHP MM_XSLTransform class?
When using the PHP MM_XSLTransform to transform some XML into
HTML, the XML declaration is faithfully delivered, which is
expected. In my case though this ends up in the body of the
document and is not desired. I wish to choose that the XML
declaration is not shown.
I have tried to use the <xsl:output method="xml"
encoding="utf-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> in the XSL
stylesheet but the declaration still appears.
Any help?
all the best
Dave

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

How do I physically connect the SCXI 1180 when using a 1520 and 1346 adapter?

Here's my current configuration:
SCXI 1000 chassis
x2 SCXI 1520 Bridge Modules (Slot 1, and Slot 2)
1180 Feedthrough panel.
I recently purchased a 1346 adapter so I can use the feedthrough to access AI channels on the DAQ card.
My question is, how do I physically connect the ribbon cable of the 1180? Does it plug into the BACK of the last module in the chassis (ie. bridge module2 in slot 2) or does it plug into the other 49pin connector on the 1346 adapter?
If you read the installation manual for the 1180 http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371062a.pdf (Page 2-3)
And the installation manual for the 1346 http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320722b.pdf (page 2)
it seems the instruction contradict eachother. The 1180 manual says connect it to the back of the module
the note under Fig.2 on page 2 of the 1346 says you cannot have anything plugged into the module next to the one that has the 1346 plugged into it; in my case that's module 2...
SCXI- 1000 Chassis w/ 1346 adapter
PCI 6281 DAQ card
SCXI- 1520 Bridge Board w/ 1314 Terminal Block (x2)
SCXI- 1180 Feedthrough Panel w/ 1302 Block
Signal Express 2014.
Win7 Enterprise

I have the 1346 plugged into the first module in slot 1.
But let me try and clairfy what you're saying...
"Then the cable from the 1346 kind of loops back into the chassis and through the 1180". So this is my answer? But I'm actually taking the cable from the 1180 and plugging it into the other 49-pin connector on the 1346. Sorry, symantics...
"...it must be on the first card when using a 1520". By "it" are you referring to the 1346 (which is how it's currently configured) or the 1180 cable?
and lastly; why does the 1180 need to go into slot 2? I can currently fill both slots (1&2) with the 1520's and with the 1346 plugged into module1/slot1, I can pass the ribbon cable around back of module2 and into the 1346.
Is there some other reason beside potential space limitations that you'd use the feedthrough in slot2?
Thanks for your info and patience!
