Export file - fixed columns and remove dimensions

Hello Experts
I wan't to use the standard export package ang get dimensions fixed in specific columns and also remove some dimensions.
The problem is that i always get the dimensions randomly in columns and when i am able to remove dimensions, the dimensions are removed randomly, please see *MAPPING and result below, does anyone know how to do this? Or have an example? I have used the standard example files but they have not helped....
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
DELIMITER=
VALIDATERECORDS=NO
ROUNDAMOUNT = 7
OUTPUTHEADER=
OUTPUTDELIMITER=
SPECIFICMAPPING=YES
*MAPPING
ENTITY=*COL(1)
TIME=*COL(2)
ACCOUNT=*COL(3)
RPTCURRENCY=*COL(4)
AMOUNT=*COL(5)
ACCOUNT,ENTITY,RPTCURRENCY,TIME,AMOUNT
NON_FLOW,ADT5_E,ACTUAL,ANA_TONS,TOTALADJ
NON_FLOW,568U_E,ACTUAL,ANA_TONS,TOTALADJ
Best regards

Given the nature of OLAP and FACT tables, I do not beleive that you are able to disassociate a dimension from the export process. So, I don't think that you may choose the dimensions to export, plus there method of being written to a file may just be alphabetical. I would export the complete details and then manipulate the details during an import process. The only other alternative that I can think of is to write a custom SSIS SQL script, to allow for FACT member aggregation if you choose to remove a dimension.
But I would need to test further. Hope this helps.

PDF Export with fixed column widths ignores page break on Analysis item

Hi experts,
we use the column width modification to define fixed column width in a analysis item. On the same Web template we want to export the whole template including the analysis item to PDF format. First of all everything worked properly, but the fixed widths have not been applied to the PDF. According to [SAP Support Note 1336188|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1336188] and additional explainations from [SDN Thread 1558536|Column Width Modification not working in Print Version; we solved the problem.
Unfortunately another problem arises. Our Analysis item delivers a big number of rows which extent multiple pages. By applying the export fix width parameter all page breaks are ignored, meaning that the analysis item is never shown completely in the PDF. We tried all parameter options of the Export Function without success. It seems that the EXPORT_FIX_WIDTH is just working for analysis items, which fit on one single page by length.
Any ideas how to solve this?
FYI, our XHTML code (Version SAP BW 7.0 SP 19):

When I export files in .dxf, and send via email, the client says they show up empty, although I see them in my attachment.

Can anyone help me with the right sequence of saving and sending? I select the entire design and save for export. Then I attach the file as usual.

On Mac (Yosemite) you can right-click (or control-click) on the file in the Finder and choose "compress ..." -- this makes a zip file.
Not sure on Windows, but it should be something similar.
Zipping a file doesn't change its format. Rather, zip puts it in a wrapper, also removing anything that can be compressed, to make the file smaller. When the receiver gets it and unzips it, the file is unwrapped and returned to its original format.

2 date columns and one dimension hierarchy

Hi,
I have one question in OBIEE 10g.
I have one dimension table with 2 date columns (insertedOn, updatedOn)
I created insertedOnYear, insertedOnMonth and updatedOnYear, updatedOnMonth columns from my date columns.
I have hierarchy
Year -> Month -> Day for that dimension table
and I would like to dril down both columns insertedOnYear and updatedOnYear
insertedOnYear -> insertedOnMonth -> insertedOn
updatedOnYear-> updatedOnMonth -> updatedOn
I am able to do it only for one of these columns and not for both.
I can place both columns to appropriate levels, but drilling doesn´t work as I want
Can you tell me how to solve my problem?

Oops, I was talking about 11G. Ok no problem. Do this. In the physical layer, cretea 2 alias tables. Both pointing to the table where you have these 2 fields. The put everything in your BMM. There create the 2 hierarchies using the 2 different tables (that will point to the 2 alias tables create in the physical layer). This will make them unique.

SQL*Loader - How to combine Flat File 3 columns and put into one single column

Receive a flat file delimited by comma. Want to combine Flat File last 3 columns and put into one single column(Table).
e.g.
Flat File
100,239,30,20,30
While inserting into table want to combine last 3 columns and insert into invoice number column.
302030

It is not possible to combine the last 3 columns as those columns are seperated by commas and in the SQL Loader control file you must ve specified COMMA as an delimiter. So u better have all the columns in the table plus add one more column which holds the concatenation of the 3 columns.

Extract of Data from Oracle in a Flat File with Column and Record seperator

I have a case where I have to extract whole data froma Oracle Table where the Columns should be seperated by |@|
and Records by ^*^.
The reason for this is My data has Space and New line in it. So My Program to recoganize each column and record I want them to be seperated by special chars.
Itried this but of no much help.
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on;
spool on;
set colsep '|@|';
set recsepchar '^*^';
spool "T_COMPLAINT.dat";
select * from T_COMPLAINT where ROWNUM < '100' order by cptoid;
spool off;

Having '@' and '*' characters in the data will not make any difference if you are using a combined column separator of '|@|' - provided any process you use subsequently can handle it.
However, the recsepchar parameter appears to be restricted to a single character which is repeated right across the page, so I don't think you could have a single iteration of '|*|' using this method:
SQL> set newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
SQL> set recsep EACH
SQL> set recsepchar '*'
SQL> set colsep '|@|'
SQL> select * from testa;
A         |@|1@        |@|22-JUN-2010
B         |@|2*        |@|22-JUN-2010
B         |@|2*        |@|22-JUN-2010

Export to thumb drive and remove hidden files for Pandigital frame

I have a Pandigital photoframe. I find from searching online that there is zero support for Mac users. The frame mounts in the finder then disappears after a short while. Searching the web, I have found (supposedly) that one must export the files from iPhoto to an MS/DOS formatted thumb drive. After that, hidden files written by the Mac on the thumb drive must be removed using Terminal. I'm not sure if the directions that I found at these sites are correct or might not be complete. I am a novice at Terminal so maybe something is not clear to me on these sites. Can anyone help with transfer from iPhoto to a Pandigital frame? The sites are:
http://www.studiolighting.net/pandigital-frames-tout-128mb-internal-memory/
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1276407

This search
http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=resource+fork&os=mac
has links to many other apps that will remove the resource fork from these files. I don't mean to be obtuse but I don't often have reason to use these apps and so I'm slow to give specific assistance on them. You are best to read the Help on these apps or contact their support.

Exporting files for web and print at the same time.

been searching a while now and no joy with an answer.
So I want to know 2 things.
Is there an option on LR to export 2 different extensions at once?
So a JPG at say 5mb and one at 500k?
Also would I 'resize to' 1024x768 if I was going to use for web?
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

It is possible to pick a desired file size that is too small for the image's pixel dimensions. Where that line is drawn will depend on the individual image.
Normally if you are picking a max file size, you are also resizing the file to be smaller, like your 1024x768 example above. This size would easily be under 500 kb.

External table, fixed columns and variable record length..

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an exernal table of a txt-file. Te records are delimited by newlines and the field lengths are fixed. But...
When one or more of the last columns are missing the record is truncated.
Here's the problem: the access parameter "missing field values are null" doesn't seem to work here.. And all incomplete lines are rejected!
Any ideas??

Well, seems like I was on a wild goose chase here.
The original version of the file was not in UTF8 but in ANSI. But for some reason somebody thought it was necessary to convert the file to UTF8.
So, although my question isn't answered yet, my problem has been solved.

Add "file name" column, and file compare utility

When resolving duplicate files, I'd like to see what filenames i'm dealing with. A column for filename would be ideal.
For a bonus, if you could provide a file comparison (binary or musical) or at least a link to an external program (Beyond Compare, for instance), I could see if two not quite identical files are in fact the same song.

When resolving duplicate files, I'd like to see what filenames i'm dealing with. A column for filename would be ideal.
in the meantime (as a sort of clunky workaround), you could try this. while you've got your main library window up, go "edit > show duplicate songs". while your library is displaying duplicate songs, right-click the library icon in your sourcelist and select "Export Song list". save it in text format, not xml.
now, right click on the text file and "open with" the file with a spreadsheet like Excel.
the text file will contain just the details of your duplicate songs (not your entire library), and the rightmost column gives the full path to each of the files.

Exporting file to pdf and screen view file dark, print file ok

I am using Mac Pages as a document editor and basic design tool. Exported pdf files look great on screen on first view, and when opened in Mac preview or even when viewed on the PC as a preview of the file. As soon as the file is opened with Adobe Reader on both pc and mac, I have an issue with the text blocks being changed to dark and unreadable. The file prints fine, but screen view is not readable. I am using the files as a linked file to be viewed on screen and need the .pdf file to be readable on screen with Adobe Reader as designed, without color and text changes.

I am looking at the original file and I see that one of the blocks is a white background text block with black text and the other is a dark background with white text. There is a 3rd text block that is a purple color with white text and the 3rd is fine, the other white and dark background and text turn dark and unreadable. Preview still shows the file OK, but not with Reader.

Hide Dynamic columns and remove space

I have an application that allows users to generate a Crystal report containing selected columns. A user is able to check which columns should appear on the report from a web page. I'm able to display and suppress the dynamic columns but the space for the dynamic columns that are not selected remains. How can I remove the space and have the columns move to the left?
I'm using VS 2003 and Crystal 10.

As Ludek mentioned you would need to use the RAS .NET SDK to completely remove the column from the report. What you could do is start with a blank report, only have your database info added, then build UP your report rather than remove items. The ReportObjectController has a method called AddByName() that will insert a field into your report. It will add the field from left to right with a small buffer space.
In order to use the RAS .NET SDK with Visual Studio .NET you'll need to upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008 or Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (good free price here).

Fixing Account and Time Dimensions

Gurus,
I have a scanerio here , the Account dimension is Dynamic Calc
the scripts are using Fix( @Relative (Accounts,0)) , does it make sense to include this statement ,
please let me know the diffrence with and without the aboue statement .
same with @relative (year total, o)
Please explain
Thanks
Tanay

I've heard people state that FIXing on level zero Accounts when all of the upper level members are dynamic is a waste of time and logically that makes sense (The upper level members would get valued but not stored and that would take time). Having said that, I have tried calcs with and without that kind of FIX and while in theory code without the FIX should be slower, I have been unable to actually see an appreciable difference. For completeness' sake and because it drives me crazy to think that useless numbers are being calculated, I typically FIX on level zero Accounts, even when all of the upper level members are dynamic.
Wrt "Year Total" -- that might make more sense as that is probably not the dimension name, but a parent in the hierarchy. There could be other stored level zero members about and you may not want to impact those other members, hence the @RELATIVE("Year Total", 0) could be significant.
The only way to know this within the context of your database is to try it both ways and see if you get a performance boost one way or the other. Please be sure to report back with the results of your experiment -- maybe it'll make me change my mind.

Exporting file as png and choosing its dpi and image size

Hi Everyone,
I was encountering some problem when I export my art work in png format. My canvas size was 100 pixels by 100 pixels, color mode: CMYK, and 300 dpi. I tried to export it using “Save for web and device”, but the png file turned out to be 100 x100 pixels and 72 dpi. Then, I tried using “Export”, and checked the use art board option, and chose 300 dpi, but the file turns out to be 416 x 416 and 300 dpi, which is also not what I wanted. I'm sure there's some way to get what I want but I just can't seem to get it right. Does anyone know how I can achieve this ? I really appreciate your help!!
ps. I'm using CS5
Thank you!!!

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for taking your time and replying. I'm actually trying to submit my art work for a competition, which requires the art work to be in CMYK mode, and 300 dpi, png file. I worked on my stuff in photoshop, but photoshop won't let me save png files in CMYK mode, so I saved it in a jpg file, 300 dpi. I then opened AI, set the color mode/file size/ dpi, paste the jpg file in and try to export it, and I can't figure out where I mess things up. Do you have any idea where i could possibly mess things up?
Thank you!!

Fixed Column and Scrollable JTable problems

I've implemented a table that has the first column fixed, while 2nd to end are scrollable.
following the fixedModel examples, i am able to get this working..but im not able to update it. the exmples tho, subclass AbstractTableModel and use anonymous classes to define it...mine uses a class that subclasses DefaultTableModel..but DefaultTableModel subclasses AbstractTableModel...so i think it should be ok.
i have 2 table models, one for the fixed, and one for the scrollable..they use the same data/column arrays...then i create 2 tables that with these models...
initially i have no data Object[][] data = new Object[0][0]) and a bunch of column names
it works fine..but i have trouble updating it with real data
i use fixedModel.setDataVector(...) and scrollModel.setDataVector(...) to update...but it doesnt work..i dont get any exceptions or anything..just nothing comes up...revalidating the tables doesnt work
if i choose not to use the fixed/scrollable tables..and just use one normal table with setDataVector..it works fine
any ideas?
heres the code:
fixedModel = new SortableTableModel() {
    /* for sorting to work correctly */
    public Class getColumnClass(int col) {
       return getValueAt(0, col).getClass();
    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
        return false;
    //new methods
    public int getColumnCount() {
        return 1;
    public int getRowCount() {
        return data.length;
    public String getColumnName(int col) {
        return (String)columnNames[col];
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
        return data[row][0];
fixedModel.setDataVector(data,columnNames);
scrollModel = new SortableTableModel() {
    public Class getColumnClass(int col) {
        return getValueAt(0, col).getClass();
    public boolean CellEditable(int row, int col) {
        return false;
    //new methods
    public int getColumnCount() {
        return columnNames.length -1;
    public int getRowCount() {
        return data.length;
    public String getColumnName(int col) {
        return (String)columnNames[col+1];
    public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
        return data[row][col+1];
    public void setValueAt(Object obj, int row, int col) {
        data[row][col +1] = obj;
scrollModel.setDataVector(data, columnNames);
ListSelectionModel lsm = fixedTable.getSelectionModel();
lsm.addListSelectionListener(new SelectionListener(true));
lsm = scrollTable.getSelectionModel();
lsm.addListSelectionListener(new SelectionListener(false));
fixedTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
scrollTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
JViewport viewport = new JViewport();
viewport.setView(fixedTable);
viewport.setPreferredSize(fixedTable.getPreferredSize());i really need to get this fixed..thanks for the help!

i fixed the problem a couple days ago
my anonymous class for the fixed and scrollable table models defines the data given from a 2D Object array..and not a vector of vectors, which i was using when setting the data :P
oops...
thanks for the help tho.
