Drilldown Searches and Free-Form Searches

Hi All
can you please let me know concept of Drilldown Searches and Free-Form Searches ?
I read documentation in help portal.
Can you kindly focus more light on these concepts with some example
Thanks in advance
Mugdha Kulkarni

Hi Mugdha,
MDM provides two types of searches:
Drilldown Search:
With drilldown search, you can make selections from each search tab, where each tab corresponds to a lookup field in the table
You can also make selections for each of the attributes linked to the selected category, and each of the qualifiers of a qualified table record.
Freeform Search:
With free-form search, you can perform searches on any field that does not lookup its values from a sub table.
Free-form search also allows you to do fuzzy searches with a variety of search operators
It accepts typed values for one or more fields (like a traditional DBMS query form) and a keyword search that can match keywords in any or all of the fields in a table.
At each step along the way, the system narrows down the choice of values for each search dimension to show only those that are valid given the current result set based on the previous search selections.
The result is an extremely flexible and powerful search capability, delivered through an exceptionally smooth and intuitive process.
Hope this clears your doubts.

Difference between Circular, Rectangular and Free form Antenna??

Hi All,
What is the difference between a Circular, Rectangular and a Free form field Antenna other than the physical appearance?
Thanks,
Shridhar..

Hi Shridhar,
RFID Antennas
RFID antennas are always connected to an interrogator. This allows for the transmission of signals to and from the tag.
Antenna Design
Depending on the design, antennas can be either mono-static or bi-static:
Mono-static antennas are based on a principle by which a single antenna transmits a signal coming from the interrogator to the area as well as receives a signal coming from tags and these functions are switched in fractions of seconds. This requires use of a circulator in a reader that multiplexes the receive and transmit signals through a single port. There is some loss and phase distortion due to the use of a circulator.
Bi-static antennas include two antennas, where one antenna is dedicated to transmitting, and the other antenna is dedicated to receiving. Both dedicated antennas can be but do not have to be in the same casing. In bi-static antenna, a circulator is not required, which improves the performance and sensitivity of the antenna.
Antenna Polarity
Antenna polarity is very important because it affects the quality of communication between the interrogator and tag.
The interrogator's antenna and the tag's antenna should have the same polarization. If polarization is not realized, a severe loss in signal, along with a drastic decrease in a read range, which results in unsuccessful communication with a tag, can be experienced.
Polarization can be either circular or linear.
Linear polarization is relative to the surface of the earth.
Linear polarization can also be either horizontal or vertical:
Horizontally polarized signals propagate parallel to the earth.
Vertically polarized signals propagate perpendicular to the earth.
Antennas with circular polarization can receive signals from both the vertical and horizontal planes by injecting the signal at two points on the antenna radiated slightly out of phase creating a rotating effect on the field. However, there is a slight loss of signal strength, due to the constructive and deconstructive effect of the field being slightly out of phase.

Free form search problem

Hello Experts,
There is a qualifier table in which 'Due Date' is one of the field (of data type Date).
Now, In Data Manager when I try the free form search by entering date in the 'Due Date' field as the filter, it does not show up any records, although there are many records with such date (12/29/2012).
What is going wrong ? Can someone please help ?
Thank you

Hi,
Where are you searching these records for this Due Date..?
You will find records corresponding to this date, Please select Main table as you current table in MDM data Manager. In Free-form search you will find this field and there you need to select this 12/31/9999 from calendar. Once you set this you would able to see filter records with this criteria.
Kindly revert with result.

Interesting problem:Free Form Searches

Dear Experts,
After upgrading to MDM 5.5 SP1 , i find that i can't do free-form searches on a few fields in a given table .For instance , i have a 'PRODUCTS' table which has fields like 'DESCRIPTION' , 'MANUFACTURER' , 'CATEGORY' , 'PART NUMBER' etc. I find that while using Data manager / JAVA API i get results only when the search field is 'MANUFACTURER' or 'PART NUMBER' whereas for the other two viz.DESCRIPTION' and CATEGORY i don't get any results.
Will appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Karambir Singh.

Make sure that the api jar file version matches the MDM Server version.
Remove the old MDM4J jar from the class path.
Add the new MDM4J jar, which matches with the MDM Server version to the Java Build Path.
You can download the new jar from Service Market Place.
Hope this helps.

Free form partner function field in Sales document header and item..

Hello Experts,
Is there anyway we can use the partner functions functionality in Sales document header and item level, so that we can enter a free form number in the Partner field? I mean is it possible to be able to enter a free form number WITHOUT getting validated against corresponding master data like Customer or Vendor master, Contact person, Personnel or User master records?

Hi,
It is not possible.
Because partner function will be determined in the sales document header and item as per the configuration you have done in the partner determination.
It is not possible to enter a number wihich is not created and assigned.

Drilldown reporting and forms.

Hi everyone,
I am very well versed in Report Painter but I have never created a Drilldown Report. In my quest to find out more about Cash Flow statements I found many threads on here discussing the SAP standard reports and the forms used to generate the results. It appears that Forms use "variables" but not "sets". I would prefer to use sets in most of the row selections but that choice is not available. Is there a way one can turn on the "Set" functionality so that more than one account can be reported on a line in the Cash Flow report? Your assistance would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks Sarma,
They are currently downloading into Excel. The direction I have been given is to eliminate as many "download" processes as possible. This company has gone down a treacherous path of downloading SAP data into Excel and manipulating it without using the official SAP reposrts. I was going down the path that we should probably create an ABAP Cash Flow statement that includes the use of the currency exchange rates in order to create a consolidated statement.
Is it your experience that most companies employ the "Multiple Local Currency" configuration so that FI has a Group Currency posting similar to how CO has postings in Group Currency?

Free Form Template and Combining Chart Values during Runtim

Hi Guys,
Need your expertise on this. We received some unreasonable request for the following:
1. Free Form Template DURING Runtime
- moving charts from one place to another by dragging them from one place to another during runtime
2. Combining of Chart values during Runtime
-to be able to mash-up 2 different charts during runtime. For example, dragging a chart to another chart
would result to a combined-value of chart. For instance, you have a Sales Chart and a Production Chart,
if and when Sales Chart is dragged and placed on top of Production Chart then it would mash-up the values
and will produce only one chart.
Is this even possible?
Hope you guys can help.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
1. Free form template is not possible with current version of Dashboard Designer. You may use the option of Dynamic Visibility to simulate this. But this might not serve your requirement 100 %.
2. Your requirement of mixing up chart just by dragging and droping on another is coming under Designing part. For designing we need software, in my point of view. Xcelsius is a Tool to generate required output in various formats. Here we need to finalise the output such as chart type/ data to be displayed/ format to be displayed, etc and while viewing we may play with data but not with objects other than dynamic visibility.
Hope this clarifies.
With best wishes
BaaRaa.

Hyperion Planning and Smartview Free form

Hi All,
I am currently using Hyperion planning 11.1.2.2, after a successful application creation, data load via EAS, Reports/Forms are working perfectly in smartview.
Now I would like to go beyond Adhoc Analysis, I would like to know if it is possible to use Free Forms with Planning?
when I try to create a free form with this connection profile" http://server:19000/HyperionPlanning/SmartView" it doesn't work. I cannot add label columns outside the borders of the form/Reports (blue cells).
I checked on the web and it seems that free form is only possible with essbase aps ?
please help.
Regards.

Hi Toufik,
Are the lines you want to add just labels for your own use? You should be able to open a form in Ad-Hoc analysis, then add a new row (using standard excel functionality) and add a label in this line. You can still change dimension members using the drill functionality and by over-typing Dimension member cells and refresh the sheet with your label in place.
I've just tested this on 11.1.2.2 as I was doubting myself and it definitley works connecting to Planning. Is the above what you're trying to achieve?
Regards

What can I use to create a photo banner/collage that is free formed. I'll need background colors and ability to place 5 or more pics in a horizontal row? Does adobe have a product i can use to create this?

You can select 5 (or more images) and place them by dragging in Adobe InDesign. After creating document go to File > Place, navigate to images and select them. In InDesign start dragging and press right arrow key couple of times then release mouse button. You can export file as PDF, JPG, PNG image from File > Export.

This is a very very nice update, especially all the breakdown reports that I was missing badly.

Select text based on format (free form style text)

As suggested by Apple, I'm trying to create my first ePub using Pages as opposed to inDesign.
I only have a PDF as a source file and don't want to re-type all the text.
When I copy the text from the PDF and paste to Pages, the text comes in with the 'free form' style applied no matter what options I select during copy and paste.
In order to produce an ePub, I need to set styles for the text. This is quite tedious.
Is there any way to select text based on the way it is formatted when styles are not applied to the text?

Here is a script which may be useful if your problem surface again.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT words_attributes_to_Style]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : words_attributes_to_Style.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Ouvrir un document Pages contenant des mots soulignés
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “words_attributes_to_Style”
Le script appliquera :
le style "Souligné" aux mots soulignés
le style "Accentuation" aux mots en gras
le style "Italic" (si vous l'avez créé) aux mots en italique.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: words_attributes_to_Style.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a Pages document embedding underlined words
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “words_attributes_to_Style”
The script will apply :
the named style "Underlined" to the underlined words
the named style "Emphasis" to bolded words
the named style "Italic" (assuming that you defined it) to italicized words.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

Flash Pro cs5.5, MySQL, login and registration form

Hi.
I just started to use Adobe Flash CS5.5 and i want to make my new homepage based on flash. Only problem at the moment is that i don't know how to make flash login and registration form what takes data from MySQL. I am messed with this about 3 days but without any results(form is done, but don't know how to make it communicate with MySQL).
Sorry for my bad english.
Can anybody please help me?
Thanks in advance for helping.

You should really start by some literature if you can't even draw a form. I don't mean to be cruel but otherwise you'll never learn flash. If you like the technology, start from the start like everybody else. If you'll have some questions, or will be confused about something you learned, I'll be happy to explain it to you. But don't expect people to program your app for you - this is not learning.
You can start with adobe tv: http://tv.adobe.com/search/?q=flash&product=17&topic=0&version=10&sortby=relevancy

Different LOVs in af:query and af:form for the same VO attribute

Hi,
We need to display different LOVs in af:query and af:form for the same attribute in VO.
Is it possible to use LOV Switcher for this ?
What condition can we use in LOV Switcher attribute to check if it is View Critearia row or VO row ?

We have a VO attribute "User" which needs to be displayed as LOV in a Search Panel ( af:query component created using View Critearia ) and in a af:form.
When this VO attribute is displayed in search panel, in LOV, we need to show all users.
When this VO attribute "User" is displayed in a form for editing, in LOV, we need to show only active users.
For this, we created two LOVs "ActiveUsersLOV" ( which shows only active users ) and "AllUsersLOV" ( which shows all users ) on VO attribute "User".
LOVSwitcher attribute should return "ActiveUsersLOV" if the LOV is displayed in form and "AllUsersLOV" if the LOV is displayed in search panel.

Symmetric and Asymmetric forms

Dear Guru's,
What are the difference between Symmetric and Asymmetric forms?
Thanks in Advance...............
Edited by: hyperion apprentice on Dec 11, 2010 10:45 AM

Asymmetric forms :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch06s04s05.html
symmetric forms are the opposite meaning they have the same sets of members across the dimensions, basically symmetrical.
Also do a search for symmetric and asymmetric on the web if you don't understand the meaning.
Cheers

SAPscript and Smart Forms - Going to be phased out?

Thus far, are SAPscript and/or Smart Forms going to eventually be retired? Is there an official document, or Note that says so? I've exhaustively searched through these forums, and the SMP for the PAM and Notes, but I can't find a reference anywhere that will tell me.
I did find where it says:
"Customers can continue to use existing SAP forms solutions such as Smart Forms and SAPscript.
Both solutions will continue to be supported in their current functional scope."
Just want to make sure with my clients.
Thanks!

Hello,
We recently rolled out an SAP's Strategy as far as forms development is concerned.
Here is the official statement:
"The SAP forms strategy is based on SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe (IFbA). This applies to both print and interactive forms. In this context, most Business Suite solutions have already been converted to the IFbA technology (more than 2300 forms), and new standard SAP forms will be created using IFbA instead of Smart Forms or SAPscript.
SAPscript and Smart Forms shall continue to be supported inline with SAP's maintenance strategy, thereby ensuring the ability to protect existing customer investment."
You can also find this on the Smart Forms page in SDN: Smart Forms Overview

Nikhil
