EVGTS to get data from multi-applications in a workbook of multi-worksheet?

Dear all:
Situation
I am trying to build a financial report that consists of:
1. Balance Sheet (Finance App)
2. Profit and Loss (Finance App)
3. Sales Analysis (Sales App)
4. Inventory Flow (Sales App)
5. Expense Report (Finance App)
Basically, I need the data from No.2 to No. 5 to get No.1 Balance Sheet.
Problem
When I refreshed or expanded the entire workbook, sometimes the other application's EVGTS would not get refreshed, and the cells either showed 0 or #RFR.
Question
1. For my EVGTS, I noticed that for the dimensions shared by both Finance and Sales Applications, I didn't include those members in my function. Could this be the reason? But I thought EVGTS would fill in the missing memebers directly from the Current View, or it has the limitation to one single Application?
2. Also, EVGTS sometimes seems to refresh itself upon any change in my current view, and sometimes not. What is causing this behavior?
Thank you!
Have a nice long weekend to some of you...

There is a golden principle, Excel (Not BPC Excel client software) itself will take care about order of calculation. So, if your first sheet uses 2nd sheet's data, Excel will refresh 2nd sheet prior to 1st sheet. I am sure about it but what I am not sure is possibility of bug. Because I already heard similar issue as yours from other customer/consultant.
If one of your sheet in workbook required other sheets' refresh, I suggest to use VB macro to make sure refresh sheet 2-5 then refresh sheet 1.
But to do that, you should use EVDRE instead of EVGTS because BPC do not provides refresh by sheet macro but EVDRE.
For your first question, you are true. If your applications sharing a dimension, you do not need to fill that dimension's member. BPC client will use CV member automatically.
For second question, it depends on setting. If your BPC client has data that associated to your CV, it will be appeared. For example, you have refresh input schedule with Entity:SalesKorea. And refresh again with Entity:Sales. Then change VB again to Entity:SalesKorea. In this case, CV change to SalesKorea will make cell data change by data in cache. If you change CV to Entity:Worldwide1, your data will not be changed.

  • Best way To get data from another application using NDDE lbrary

    My vb.net application gets data from another application using NDDE Library. I got stocks prices (open,high,low,close,volume,change......(about 15 records for each stock)) (about 200 stocks) . I don't know if there is a problem in my code.
    This is my code:
    l : is the list of stocks.
    This Sub connects to server and requests the data :
    Public Shared Sub GetQuotes()
    Try
    client1 = New DdeClient(server, topic)
    client1.Connect()
    For i As Integer = 0 To l.Count - 1
    client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$last", 1, True, 60000)
    client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$open", 1, True, 60000)
    client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$high", 1, True, 60000)
    client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$low", 1, True, 60000)
    client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$pclose", 1, True, 60000)
    client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$volume", 1, True, 60000)
    client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$date", 1, True, 60000)
    client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$time", 1, True, 60000)
    Next
    Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try
    End Sub
    and then I get the data from Client_advise sub (called each time a value changed )and fill the list. What I know is that client advise gets only one record for single stock each time is called..
    Example: for stock AAPL. 1st time enters client_Advise I get open price for AAPL, 2nd time I get high price for AAPL,3rd time I get low price..... and I update the value in the List (l)
    This the client_Advise Sub:
    Private Shared Sub client1_Advise(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As NDde.Client.DdeAdviseEventArgs) Handles client1.Advise
    For q As Integer = 0 To l.Count - 1
    If l(q).t = w(1) Then
    Dim item() As String = e.Item.Split("$")
    If l(q).Open = "#" Then
    l(q).Open = "0"
    End If

    l(q).lo = "0"
    End If
    If l(q).Close = "" Or l(q).Close = "#" Then
    l(q).Close = "0"
    End If
    If l(q).pclose = "#" Then
    l(q).pclose = "0"
    End If
    If item(1) = "open" Then
    l(q).Open = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
    ElseIf item(1) = "last" Then
    l(q).Close = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
    ElseIf item(1) = "high" Then
    l(q).hi = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
    ElseIf item(1) = "volume" Then
    l(q).Volume = Val(e.Text)
    ElseIf item(1) = "low" Then
    l(q).lo = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
    ElseIf item(1) = "pclose" Then
    l(q).pclose = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
    If l(q).pclose <> "" And l(q).pclose <> "#" And l(q).Close <> "" And l(q).Close <> "#" Then
    l(q).c = Format(l(q).Close - l(q).pclose, "0.00")
    l(q).cp = Format(((l(q).Close - l(q).pclose) / l(q).pclose) * 100, "0.00")

    Am I doing something wrong which inreases CPU usage to 80 or 90 % ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi MikeHammadi,
    According to your description, you'd like to get data from another app using NDDE library.
    When using the NDDE library, the CPU usage is high. As the NDDE library is third-party library, it is not supported here. I suggest you checking if the problem is caused by the NDDE library.
    If you'd like to get data from another app. I suggest you could save the data in the dataBase, and then read it in another application if necessary.
    If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

  • How to get data from hard drive in dead iMac?

    I have an old slot-loading iMac (350Mhz G3 blueberry) that just died, probably a dead power supply or something. Won't turn on at all. I don't care about restoring it, I just want to take the hard drive out and grab data from it. I've found instructions for removing the HD ... but any tips on the best/cheapest way to hook it up to get data from it? It's EIDE I believe from what I've read so far. Thanks for any help.

    Hey Richard.....Thanks for the reply to my question about my wife's dead iMac.....
    Her iMac had been acting up lately, mostly to do with her Outlook Express freezing up in OS9. I dunno if OS9 was freezing or if the application was failing. Regardless, I would have to quit OS9, restart Outlook which at the same time restarted OS9. All would be fine for a while, a day or two and then the scene would repeat itself. But I think that issue is separate from the iMac being "dead". Often we have power outages in the area, more than we should. I had the iMac plugged into a battery backup, some APS product I think it is. I believe it is only good for less than an hour as we have other devices drawing on it too. Most of our power outages are of short duration, just enough to be aggravating, sometimes having to reset clocks, etc...And a couple times, I would have to reset the time and date on the iMac so this told me that the PRAM battery was below minimum voltage. But the iMac would ALWAYS restart, even with the low battery. But the most recent outage, about one hour duration, did in the iMac, somehow or other. I do believe the battery backup basically fully discharged. So I removed the battery, could not find a new battery locally so I drove to the big city and paid the local Apple service dealer a visit. I got ripped big time price wise, embarrassed to say. So I get home, put the battery in the holder, depressed the CMU reset, the powerbutton illuminated as did a green LED by the memory modules for less than three seconds and then quit. I also heard the HD trying to spin up and a high voltage THUMP which I assume is the CRT trying to ignite. If I unplugged the iMac, removed the battery, plug in the power again and hit the power button, the iMac would repeat the same short on period and then quit. So it did not seem to make any difference if there was a battery in place. I read somewhere to pull the battery, pull the AC cord, hold down the power button to dump any current (?) and let the unit sit for 24hrs. After that length of time, I was supposed to replace the battery, depress the CMU reset, wait ten seconds and then feed it AC. Well, when I pressed the power button, I heard life for maybe five seconds, maybe a second longer, then a beep and then it shut down. I pulled the AC cord, pulled the battery, re-inserted the battery, depressed the CMU reset, waited a few seconds, plugged in the AC cord, depressed the power button and I am back at the under three seconds of "power-up" and then nothing, dead, no beep, nothing. I think maybe it is a waste of time trying to mess with this unit, looking for a newer iMac on eBay, the snowball series with the 17" LCD, might be time better spent. Hate throwing stuff away, that's why I am up to my ears in junk, maybe u know that scenario. The wife likes my 19" ACER LCD screen, hooked up to this old dual 800mhz, though she dislikes the noise and the tower. But we both agree the large LCD screen is much easier on our aging eyes than the old iMac CRT. Anyway, I appreciate your help, always GREAT to correspond with an Apple fan.....John Bauer

  • Get date from Oracle when local time zone is different from Oracle time zon

    Hi!
    Local machine time zone= +2
    Oracle time zone= +1
    I set date to Oracle using java.sql.Date.
    From application I save date at 00:30 clock and send e.g. 28.06.2002, but in Oracle date is save as 27.06.2002 01:00 (hour=01 , I suppose that is because java.sql.Date hasn't time the Oracle set it time = time zone=+1) And when I get date from Oracle I get incorrect date. In SQL I don't use date masks. Maybe solution is to use java.sql.Timestamp object (when save date to Oracle) instead of java.sql.Date?
    But if I save date at e.g. 01:00 clock and send e.g. 28:06.2002 in Oracle, date is save as 28.06.2002 01:00 and when I read from Oracle I get correct date.
    Thank you.

    incorrect date. In SQL I don't use date masks. Maybe
    solution is to use java.sql.Timestamp object (when

  • EJB-Archive for getting Data from the DB

    Hello,
    I want to get data from the Database. I created a EJB-Project with an Entity Bean and a Session Bean.
    The jar-Archive that I generated is corrupt. Is that normal?
    Can you provide me with information on database acces?
    In ABAP it would be a piece of cake: Select * from table into ...;-)
    Greetings, Frank

    Hi Frank,
    I see that you are interested in getting data from R/3, please correct me if I'm wrong.
    If that's so, you cannot do it by purely using EJBs, as an entity bean maps to a Table row in the database, which is not quite straight forward in terms of R/3.
    The only way to get data from R/3 is to use
    1)Java + SAP JCO
    2)or a Netweaver technology like Webdynpro + Adaptive RFC
    3)Portal Component + SAP JCO.
    Again, assuming you're dealing with a WebAS server, coming to EJBs, its no different to any other application server. So, you need an RDBMS to use Entity Beans.
    Please let me know if you've got more doubts.

  • Get data from Sharepoint site in different farm using webservice, and current site using claims mode authentication.

    Hi , 
    I have a site that runs on   Claims Mode (  NTLM) . That site has a web part that needs to show the data from any  sharepoint farm, SharePoitn  2010 , or 2007 or 2003.
    I am getting 401 unauthorized when I   try to get data from webservice running in sharePoint context.
    But when I run the same code in  Windows Console application  then it is giving no error.
    What I doubt is that this issue is due to the reason that I have  set
    claims mode authentication.
    Because same code is running  in different farm in a site that is configured  using windows authentication.

    So generally speaking, you're talking about a VERY long running topic of authentication methods... and generally speaking, in the world of Windows, the only long running authentication options have been:
    - NTLM (limited to one hop)
    - Kerberos (unlimited hops)
    - Application level authentication (ex: SQL auth, also, no hops)
    Recently, Microsoft has been investing in Claims Based Auth... and I fully expect claims to start working their way into other systems (previously starting to work into Windows via the CardSpace technology, but also in other ways such as Win8's ability to
    log in with a LiveID)... but building a new authentication method into ALL applications is a VERY long process, and the complexity of claims adds a LOT of consideration (claims from the same AD can look VERY different depending on the STS, so lots of questions
    around things like bridging claims).
    So as far your SP auth needs...
    IF both applications are CLAIMS AWARE, then you MAY be able to use claims (which support unlimited hops)... but that's just not very likely yet (and will probably take another 5-10 years to be available across the entire enterprise)... otherwise, KERBEROS
    Outside of the Microsoft world... KERBEROS is open spec, so is supported by other systems (such as authenticating to linux)... claims based auth is also open spec, but again, still new... there are a few other options (LDAP, etc), but none that are native
    to Windows (so you rely on things like third party auth modules for Windows, which Novell has done for DECADES with NDS and eDir)
    And again, SharePoint can convert claims to Kerberos using the C2WTS... which MS uses internally for things Excel Services connecting to a backend SQL server... but it DOES require the Kerb and C2WTS configuration.
    if you're having issues using Kerb auth... then it sounds like Kerb isn't configured correctly... and Kerb is a PAIN to configure (whitepaper for SP Kerb is ~100 pages long)... IIS (and SharePoint) also has the added benefit of failing over to NTLM if Kerb
    fails (and you shouldn't disable this behavior, since it'll break other settings elsewhere)

  • How to get data from external source

    Hi experts,
       I want to get data from a different source e.g. from oracle. How can i get the data in BW??
    Sam

    Hi Samir
    there are different interfaces are available according to the source system.
    For Oracle source system you can use DB connect interface.
    you can extract data from several data sources to BI
    File Interface:: Using this interface, you can access files in ASCII format or CSV format
    DB Connect :: You use DB Connect to open other database connections in addition to the default connection and use these connections to transfer data from tables or views into a BI system.
    UD Connect :: UD Connect (Universal Data Connect) uses the Application Server J2EE connectivity to enable the reporting and analysis of both SAP and non-SAP data. Using UD Connect, you can access all relational and multidimensional data sources. UD Connect transfers the data as flat data.
    BI Service API ::
    Web Service for Staging ::You use the Web service to write the data from the source into the PSA. The transfer of data is controlled externally, without placing demand on BI.
    You can use this interface in conjunction with real-time data acquisition.
    Please assign points if this info helps.
    Regards

  • Combining data from different applications

    Dear all,
      I am using BPC 5.1
      I have a "Sales" application with dimensions "account", "entity", "time", "rptcurrency", "category", "product". And another "HR" application with the same dimensions as "Sales" except for "product".
      How do i create a report that combines data from both applications, assuming my dynamic template is opened with a current view of "Sales".
    Cheers

    Hi Lip,
    I just tried what you need and it worked fine.
    In your case, build a report say evdre, for HR application, and for the same sheet, change the current view to Sales and build one more evdre. You get a prompt saying one evdre may break while expanding other.Disable this prompt, belive me , it will work fine.
    The page key of HR application will have all dimensions refering to cvv of HR application, change it to refer to cvv of sales application( for only the dimensions both applications have in common).
    Now the report is dynamic with current view of Sales application.
    Hope this helps,

    That's why we have debuggers.  I suggest that you start debugging through the application and see what it is going on. I would find it difficult to see how the Form itself calls a BADI (since a BADI is an exit in ABAP coding).  I would think that the BADI would be called via a service class of the Web Dynpro or the Web Dynpro is calling a function module to process the form.  I would start back with the Web Dynpro and see how it is even initializing the form itself.

    Do you really want to execute different requests given input from the users? (e.g., enter a value in a text box and see the drop down list boxes change)

  • Ways to get data from the internet with XCode and Objective-C

    Hey guys,
    Thanks in advance for any help. I was simple wondering what the best ways are to get data from the internet to use in an application. For example, is it best to store the data in a MySQL database with PHP and then use C code and MySQL commands to get that data from my Mac app? Is JSON better? Any help would be awesome!

    What kind of data are you after?

  • How to get data from bluetooth device?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create an application in which I want to communicate with another bluetooth device for data. As I know using GameToolKit framework we can communicate with another iPhone or iPod device, but in my application I want to get data from different bluetooth device.
    Is it possible in iphone SDK? If yes, can somebody help me out?
    Thanks.

    You might want to look over the External Accessory framework, released with 3.0.
    ...keep in mind, however, that the only way to communicate with other BT devices via the EAF is if they are in the 'Made for iPod' accessory program. http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/accessories/
    However again.... Even though they communicate through standard BT connections, accessories need special hardware in order to process the data stream coming from the iPhone / iPod touch. Unfortunately, this may mean that any idea of communicating with generic BT devices won't work on iPhone OS 3.x.
    If the devices you want to talk to are Bonjour-discoverable via WiFi, they don't need to be part of the MfI program. Does that sound like your case?
    Also you may want to keep in mind that 3rd. party devs in the future may release dongles that connect via the 30-pin dock port, providing access to existing BT devices. If said devs opened their communication protocols, that might enable the goal of communicating with said devices.
