Error using time function AGO()

Hi everyone
I am trying to make this report using OBIEE 11.1.5 with Essabas as datasource:
Account ActualMonth MonthPreviousYear PreviousMonth Actual Year
I have the time dimension (like in HFM), divided into two dimensions Years (Total -> Years) and Period (Total -> Quarters -> Months).
I use the AGO() function in the repository (BML) to get PreviousYear and PreviousMonth:
PreviousYear: AGO("Essbase_1"."Data"."Measure" , " Essbase_1"."Year"."Gen2,Year" ,1)
PreviousMonth : AGO("Essbase_1"."Data"."Measure" , " Essbase_1"."Period"."Gen4,Period" , 1)
If I use the columns PreviousMonth or PreviousYear separately they work fine. However using both in the same query, I get an error:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 22036] Level in Ago function (Gen2,Year) must be a rollup of (or equivalent to) the measure level (Gen4,Period). (HY000)
Any idea how to solve this issue?
Many Thanks in advance

Using time() function in multithreaded application

I am using time() function in a multithreaded application with NULL argument for getting current time.
Some time it's observed that we get a time one minute earlier than current time (3600 seconds).
Is there a problem in the usage of the function?
I am using expression : currenttime = time(NULL);
I had seen some people using following way - time(&currenttime );
Will above two behaves differently in multithreaded environment?
[I am using Sun C++ 5.5 compiler on Solaris 8]

How do you compare actual time against the time seen by your threads? If your threads are printing the value from time(2) to stdout, it's possible that you're seeing an artifact of thread scheduling and/or output buffering.
I really doubt that you have a concurrency problem, but anyway make sure that you include the -mt option on your compile line:
CC -mt blahblahblah...

How to use Time Function

I have two times say
2310, 0050 - How can I find out using java that the difference between these two is 100 minutes or 1 hour 40 minutes.
What libraries are used to find this out ??

I need a time function which will do it.....I will be
surprised if Java don't have something inbuilt....Try splitting the time into two strings for the hours and minutes, using the functions DrLaszloJamf provided for you.
minutesSinceMidnight = hours * 60 + minutes; Otherwise, the GregorianCalendar is pretty cool.

Error using LISTAGG function to aggregate the strings.

HI
I am using LISTAGG function to aggregate the strings but throws a error ORA - 19011
The output of the aggregated function exeeds the varchar limit.
I dont know how to change it to a LOB.
Can you please help me.
This is the code.
I have used both the functions.
RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e,FDCT.USER_NAME || ' ')).extract('//text()'), ' ')
or
LISTAGG(FDCT.USER_NAME, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY FDCT.USER_NAME)
Edited by: 787819 on Jun 22, 2011 1:46 PM

If a function returns a VARCHAR2, then it will error (or sometimes truncate depending on function) when reaching the limit of the datatype.
Perhaps an alternative would be to write your own user-defined aggregate function that works with a CLOB.

A comma-separated string over 32767 in length sounds of dubious value to me anyway...

How can i measure the transmision time in gpib with visual basic with more precision if i use time() function?

I want to take a measurement of the time that i use to make a gpib transmision in a Visual Basic program,i use the function TIME() to take the time in the begining and other time in the end,but this way only give me precision of seconds, and i want miliseconds,can i use other function,other way?
Can answer in spanish?

Try using GetTickCount() API function, which provides millisecond precision. If you need more precise timer, try using QueryPerformanceCounter() function.

You need to include the Oracle XML Parse v2 class library in JDeveloper.

Using Timer functions in parallel with VISA functions

I have an application using two VISA sessions operating
in parallel controlling a LeCroy oscilloscope and a Pacific
Power Source through GPIB.
In a sub-VI, I setup the scope and put it in single acquistion
mode. Then, in the top level VI, I am reading a global variable
that detects when the scope is armed - when this flag is set, I am
using the second VISA session to control the power to the circuit
under test.
I have a while loop with a small delay (100ms) to poll the
global variable, (I also use the global value to exit the loop.)
This technique does work, although there is a 10 second delay
between the time the scope is armed for acquisition and the time
the command is recieved to turn on th
e power source.
If I take the Wait(mS) function out of the while loop, the command is
sent immediately following when the scope is armed, with no delay,
and even though I don't seem to be missing the trigger, I would prefer
just a small delay, to ensure that the scope is ready every time. Also,
from what I've read, it's not good practice to run loops without even
some small delay.
Is there a better approach to this? I hope I have expained the
problem sufficiently - any help or insight would be appreciated.
thanks,
Mike Selecky

I understand the structure you're talking about, but I don't understand why they have to be in seperate loops. The flag from the scope (actually the error cluster output from the scope command function) is the data that establishes the sequentiality between the two steps. If errors are handled properly in the scope and power supply subVIs all you have to do is string the teo routines together using the error clusters and you're done.
What you want in the subVIs is to create them such that the first time they run they initialize the VISA session and store the reference to it in an uninitialized shift register. Every time after that (or until an error is detected after the command operation) the part of the code that reads or writes the instrum
ent uses the cached reference. To allow the code to stop cleanly, you might also want to include a front panel control that tells the subVI that the system is shutting down and to close the VISA session when it's done with it.
Errors propegated into a subVI containing VISA calls will essentially bypass those calls as long as all the error clusters are connected together. What actually happens is that the low-level functions abort as soon as they see the error input and simply pass the error in to their error output.

Error Using DataExport function in Essbase

Hi there,
I'm using Hyperion Essbase version 9.3.1.
And rite now I'm trying to export data in Essbase by the new CalcScript function DataExport directly to SQL server.
I have 11 dimensions in my Essbase application. I did create 10 fields in SQL server for storing members information and 12 other fields for periodic data. Just, the time when I export data, all the rows returned with only 7 fields for members information and 12 data fields for periodic data.
Can anyone help? Please help!
Best regards,
Antony

Antony,
So when you use a calc script like the below:
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
     DataExportLevel ALL ;
     DataExportDynamicCalc OFF ;
     DataExportRelationalFile ON ;
     DataExportOverwriteFile ON ;
DATAEXPORT "File" "," "b:\exports\jan.txt" "#MI";
Your export works just as you want? (I realize you have lots of other logic, but for the sake of argument use the above).
And then when you take the exact same code except that the DATAEXPORT command now looks like:
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS
     DataExportLevel ALL ;
     DataExportDynamicCalc OFF ;
     DataExportRelationalFile ON ;
     DataExportOverwriteFile ON ;
DATAEXPORT "DSN" "cur_sale" "newyork" "admin" "password";
You don't get the same results?
I get the same results regardless. Yes, one is written to a table as defined by the DSN and the other a text file but the contents are exactly the same.
Are you seeing different rows/columns? If so, that would either suggest your table is somehow limiting what gets written to the RDBMS (it would be nice to think that Essbase would log this as an error/fail) or there is a bug in the export. I have not come across this issue.

Cameron Lackpour

Error using @MDShift Function

I'm trying to create a calc script that will move the prior month's ending balance into the current month's beginning balance. After looking through the technical reference guide, I thought using the @MDshift function would be my best option. My calc script is as follows: FIX ("Test Scenario") "1016 LB Beg Balance" = @MDSHIFT("101600", 1, YTD, -1, Scenario,); ENDFIX Receiving the following error message: Error: 1200366 Error parsing formula for [1016 LB Beg Balance] (line 3): invalid arguments number in macro[@MDSHIFTMBR] What does this error message indicate? Where can I find the information needed to resolve this? A sample of my outline structure is as follows:YTD Time (Active Dynamic Time Series Member Y-T-D, Q-T-D) Quarter 1 03 02 01 Quarter 2 06 05 04Fiscal Year 2003 2004 2005Scenerio Actual Average Budget Test Scenario Any suggestions?

Is this using Planning?I had the same, fixed it with a loop statement. Loop for the number of years you have plus one (for backcalc). First fix on BegBalance, second on the elements of the time dimension. Hope this formats ok ...Loop(4)Fix(Begbalance)"Beginning Balance" = @mdshift("Beginning Balance", 12,"Time Periods",,-1,Years, );"Ending Balance" = @mdshift("Ending Balance", 12,"Time Periods",,-1,Years, );EndfixEndLoopLoop (4)Fix(@levmbrs(Time,0))"Beginning Balance" = @PRIOR("Ending Balance");"Ending Balance" = "Beginning Balance" - "A" - "B";EndfixEndloopHope this helps.

Error using insertPages function - Acrobat X Standard

Hi there!
i hope you can help me, since Acrobat support avoids to help me because of OEM :/
I try to add several pages in a PDF using Javascript.
I am getting the following message:
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. .
Doc.insertPages:7:Field Produktionsauftrag dt:Mouse Up
My code:
this.insertPages
     nPage: 0,
     cPath: "/H/Produktionsauftrag_Deutsch.pdf",
     nStart: 0,
     nEnd: 13
I already found a solution - but that solution is pain.
if i insert the PDF with the button using insertPages to this location it works:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/0qbE2xw.png[/img]
BUT!
I have many many folders and subfolders where dozens of copys can appear.
Acrobat is not smart enough to include all of the subfolders.
In my case it is the shared network drive I:
in the Folder I, there are several subfolders like I: 200, 300, 400, 500 and many coming.
If the PDF is in Folder I: it works. If it is in folder I:\200 it won't.
So if someone is creating a new folder e.g. 700 and copy the PDF into it, the insertPages wont work, because the folder is not trusted anymore.
Is there an option to avoid this?
I hope you can help me
Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you. This is very helpful.
But i do not understand what to do =/
What i think:
Create a insertPages.js in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Javascripts
Content of insertPages.js:
this.insertPages(
{nPage: 0,
cPath: "///eukexsrv/Vorlagen_Prod_Auftr_PDF/Produktionsauftrag Deutsch.pdf",
nStart: 0,
nEnd: 13
Then open the PDF file and Add a button which runs the insertPages.js
-> HOW?
I can't see any option to run a script from mouse up
Also i get an error while opening acrobat:
TypeError: this.insertPages is not a function
7:Folder-Level:App:insertPages.js
Edit:
i edited my insertPages.js:
function inpa () {
this.insertPages(

Does anyone know how to add time using TIME function?

Hi,
I just switched from Excel (lol) and found an error in a key calculation i use. Does anyone know how to automatically add hours to a time? i.e. i have to convert Pacific Time to other U.S. Time Zones so in the past I used this formula in Excel (=B6+TIME(3,0,0)) which is now not working in Numbers. Is there an equivalent?
Thanks for your help!

When I try to help users in English, I often look in a dictionary but it seems that for many users, reading the Help or the PDF User's Guideis too much work.
In cell D3, the formula is simply:
=TIME(HOUR(B)HOUR(C),MINUTE(B)+MINUTE(C),SECOND(B)SECOND(C))
which match the Numbers's syntax which, what a surprise, is not XL's one

Error using Analytic function in reports

Hi,
I am trying to use Oracle analytic function (lag) in a report. But am getting the below error:
Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following:
,from into bulk
This is the code in the formula column:
function extend_lifeFormula return VARCHAR2 is
l_extend_life VARCHAR2(80);
l_life_in_months VARCHAR2(80);
l_asset_id NUMBER;
begin
SRW.REFERENCE(:P_BOOK_NAME);
SRW.REFERENCE(:ASSET_ID);
SELECT asset_id,
lag(life_in_months,1,0) over (PARTITION BY asset_id
ORDER BY transaction_header_id_in) Extend_Life
INTO l_asset_id,
l_life_in_months
FROM fa_books
WHERE book_type_code = 'US GAAP'
AND asset_id = 1;
return life_in_months;
end;
Has anyone experienced this error before? Does client pl/sql engine not support Analytic functions? The above query runs fine in SQL.
Thanks,
Ashish

Error using WEEKDAY function in view filter

I want to be able to display all events in a calendar for the following week (Saturday to Saturday). I have created a column called week_end that is a calculated column and gives the date of the Saturday after the event:
=[Start Time]+(7-WEEKDAY([Start Time]))
I then want to use a filter based on Today as follows:
Show only items when week_end is greater than
[Today]+(7-WEEKDAY([Today]))
and less than
[Today]+(7-WEEKDAY([Today]))+7
However I get the error: Filter value is not in a supported date format
Any ideas what the problem is? I seem to be able to do things like [Today]+3, but I want the view to be from Saturday to Saturday regardless of what day I look at it.
Thanks
Kate

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display all events in a calendar for the following week (Saturday to Saturday).
You can't use complex formula in Filters - you have to keep it simple like [Today]-30 for last 30 days.
The solution is to turn the problem on its head and add calculated columns to work out the start of the week and the end of the week then filter when the current date is between those dates (i.e. Start <= [Today] AND End >= [Today])
Please follow the steps as below to achieve what you want:
Create a “WeekStart” calculated column, select “Date and Time” as a data type returned by the formula:
=[Start Time]-WEEKDAY([Start Time])
Create a “WeekEnd” calculated column, select “Date and Time” as a data type returned by the formula:
=WeekStart+7
Create a “PerWeekStart” calculated column, select “Date and Time” as a data type returned by the formula:
=WeekStart-7
Modify view, show items only when the following is true:
       PreWeekStart is less than or equal to [Today]
       And
       WeekStart is greater than [Today]
    5. Open the view, it will
display all events in a calendar for the following week.
Generally, the week goes Sunday to Saturday. If you want to display all events in a calendar for the following week (Sunday to Saturday), you need to modify the calculated column:
WeekStart: =[Start Time]-WEEKDAY([Start Time])+1
WeekEnd:   =WeekStart+6
