FCS2 Upgrade shipping in 3-5 business days *NM

early adopters unite!

not for me either Zeb ... i was just speading the news
over here in this Mac backwater we don't even have an online AppleStore ... and the local price dictated to the Apple retailers is considerably higher than the US price.
in the US the upgrade price is US$499
in Malaysia it's RM1999 ... thats about US$588
in Singapore (just down the road) its S$868... thats about US$570
wheras in HK the price is HK$3800 ... thats about US$486
... so I guess I'll be getting mine the next time someone I know from HK is heading this way!

IPhone 6 takes 7-10 business days but ships in 3 weeks or more?

I ordered 2 iphone 6 64gb from the apple store on october 2nd and they told me that they take 7-10 business days but then they said it would ship to my house around 21-24 october? what the heck? is there a possibility that they would be shipped before that date or what..? i really need it asap. i mean they said a week or more why does it need 3 weeks?

This is a user-suppoted forum. No one here is going to know anything about your order. Simply, if it says it is going to take that long, I imagine it means they don't have one to send you until then.

Can I buy an unlock iphone 5 in US now? If I can, how many business days can I get it?

Can I buy an unlock iphone 5 in US now? If I can, how many business days can I get it? Thank you!

Yep, officially for sale now. Apple's online store shows it ships immediately, so should be in stock at just about every Apple store.

"Onsite Next Business Day Warranty" - Current Warranty Request/Warranty Issues/Poor Service

TL;DR at the bottom of the post, detailed information in between. I have had a T430s for a little less than three years. I have called the warranty/customer service ~5+ times and every time gotten extremely poor service, whether it be because parts were "backordered" for weeks at a time, or because "Next Business Day" service has been anything but. I have decided to take a different route for my most recent warranty request, I will keep an up to date account of my request via this forum, with the intent of informing as many as possible with the current state of "Onsite Next Business Day Warranty". I called the warranty ~1hr ago and filed a service request. The outcome of the request was that "I should receive a call in the next day or so, no later than 5:30PM tomorrow" when the employee I spoke with arrives in the office. I pressed as to who would call, the employee would not answer definitively, but hinted that it would be his manager, because my warranty request apparently contained "so many parts that it required approval". The parts have not been shipped, and it was abundantly clear that the subject of the call would be whether this warranty request would get approved. Hopefully, readers can already tell where this is going, next business day onsite repair apparently means in the next 24 hours, you will receive a phone call letting you know if Lenovo will honor their warranty obligations that have already been paid for. To detail my issues:1. The fingerprint scanner has stopped working for the second time. 2. I have had an issue where when I pick up the laptop on the lefthand side, the screen turns to 'snow' and will not return to its regular condition until next boot. The laptop is unusable in this condition. I have been attempting to get this fixed essentially since I purchased the laptop, however, after 3 technicians came to 'fix' the issue, it has not been solved. I have asked/suggested every time I have called the warranty line that the issue is the system board, and it needs to be replaced. Every time, they have refused to replace the system board, instead opting for other parts, some of which were on 'backorder' for over a month (remember, "Next Business Day Onsite Repair"). The difficulty in obtaining warranty service from Lenovo has caused me to only attempt to get this fixed when other issues pop up, as they have in this case. Frankly, this issue alone should have caused Lenovo to call this laptop what it is after warranty request #2, a lemon, and they should have/should send a replacement model. 3. The laptop will not 'awake' from sleep mode - when the lid is closed, the keyboard/power button will not respond, and all power sources (battery, charger cable) must be removed and the laptop restarted. 4. When the laptop is booted up, there is a 'CMOS' error message - I have never had a BIOS battery 'go' in this short a time frame. Issues 1,3, and 4 have cropped up in the last week. The warranty employee suggested that I might need to send my laptop in for 'Depot' repair instead of onsite, which in this instance will not work because of the significant delay that may entail. I have a professional licensing/certification exam this month, and would greatly prefer that my laptop be in tip-top shape for the exam. The need to have the greatest level of uptime is what caused me to pay for the NBD Onsite Warranty in the first place. My previous (horrible) warranty experiences and requirement for expedient repair have led me to seek a better method for resolving issues, namely airing them in a public forum, which hopefully will elicit a response from someone who can actually get things done in the warranty department. I have 0 hope of receiving next business day repair (or even repair by Friday, as the warranty explictly says calls received after 4:00 PM might take 2 business days). I am skeptical that the issue will be resolved in the next week or two. Likewise, I have little hope that [some of] the problem(s) will actually get resolved after "repair" has been made, as historically that has not been the case for me with this laptop. I will be voting with my dollars after this, as I have been uniformly unimpressed with Lenovo customer service/warranty/etc. The laptop has been very nice when it doesn't have issues (and when I don't forget to grab it in a certain way), however, everything else about Lenovo has been exceedingly frustrating. The TL;DR of this is:1. If you work for Lenovo and can help, or if you don't and can help, please do!!! I will be extremely grateful for any assistance. 2. DO NOT under any circumstances purchase the Onsite NBD warranty thinking that the warranty will live up to the title. I have never received NBD Onsite warranty service, despite repeatedly 'giving' the option to Lenovo to provide such service. 3. If you are considering purchasing a Lenovo product, please read some of the stories people have on their dealings with the support side of the business. I will speak for myself and say that I will almost certainly never buy another Lenovo product again, and will strongly encourage everyone I know to do the same - after recounting my issues with them.

Hey burgerbone,
Sorry to hear about your troubles getting your machine issues resolved. I am not sure of the onsite policy related to your symptoms but I will be happy to look into it for you.
Do you mind sending me a PM (Private Message) with your machine/case info?
Thanks!

Service Requests-Business days when year changes

Hi All,
I am trying to calculate for how long a SR has been open in business days only.
I have successfully used Mike Lairson's formula for the last 9 months but it seems it cannot cope with year changes. If the begin data is in 2009 and the end date in 2010, the results are not correct anymore.
E.G. For an SR that was opened on 12/30/2009 and closed on 01/05/2010 should return 5 business days but it is actually returning 110.
The syntax that I used so far is:
(CASE
/* Convert Sunday to the Business Day Of the Year */
WHEN DAYOFWEEK("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time") = 1
THEN (DAYOFYEAR("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time") - WEEK("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time")) -
(WEEK("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time") - 2)
/* Convert Saturday to the Business Day Of the Year */
WHEN DAYOFWEEK("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time") = 7
THEN (DAYOFYEAR("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time") - WEEK("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time")) -
(WEEK("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time") - 1)
/* Convert Mon-Fri to the Business Day Of the Year */
ELSE (DAYOFYEAR("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time") -
WEEK("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time")) +
(2 - WEEK("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time")) END)
(CASE
/* Convert Sunday to the Business Day Of the Year */
WHEN DAYOFWEEK("Service Request"."Opened Date") = 1
THEN (DAYOFYEAR("Service Request"."Opened Date") -
WEEK("Service Request"."Opened Date")) -
(WEEK("Service Request"."Opened Date") - 2)
/* Convert Saturday to the Business Day Of the Year */
WHEN DAYOFWEEK("Service Request"."Opened Date") = 7
THEN (DAYOFYEAR("Service Request"."Opened Date") -
WEEK("Service Request"."Opened Date")) -
(WEEK("Service Request"."Opened Date") - 1)
/* Convert Mon-Fri to the Business Day Of the Year */
ELSE (DAYOFYEAR("Service Request"."Opened Date") -
WEEK("Service Request"."Opened Date")) +
(2 - WEEK("Service Request"."Opened Date"))
END)
+
/* Adjust for Year Change */
(365 * (YEAR("Service Request"."Closed Date and Time") -
YEAR("Service Request"."Opened Date")))
Any ideea or hint would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dorin

Hi,
i used this formula to find out the days it calculates between 31/12/2009 and 01/01/2010, the result it gave was 106 days.
So i subtracted 106 from 365 days (365-106=259)in the formula, the formula is now giving the correct values.
I think we have to add the total working days and not the no.of days in a year.
Please can you all reconfirm the results.
Thanks

Add number of business days to date field

Hello, I noticed that there is not much discussion in the forum surrounding u201Cbusiness daysu201D so I hope this post/discussion/solution contributes to the content of this forum.
I am using the following 3 formulas to try to Add number of business days (based upon a table field) to a specified date:
1. Variable name = SetVar
//Set Variable for Add Business Days:
DateVar Array Holidays;
DateVar Target:= CDate({TMS_MOVEMENT_EVT.EVT_DATE}); // Put your field name in here
NumberVar Add:= {DTCI_DOD_TRANS.TRANS}; // put the number of days here to add (a positive number)
NumberVar Added := (0);
2. Variable name = AddBizDays
//Adding Business Days:
EvaluateAfter({@SetVar});
WHILE Added < Add
Do (target := target +1;
    if dayofweek (target) in 2 to 6 and not (target in holidays)
        then Added:=Added+1
        else Added:=Added);
Target
3. Variable name = HOLIDAYS
//Holiday Array Formula for the report Header:
BeforeReadingRecords;
DateVar Array Holidays := [
Date (2003,12,25),   // you can put in as many lines for holidays as you want.
Date (2003,12,31)
0
I am successfully getting my data needed to make the necessary calculations and variable assignmentsu2026 I believe that my ISSUE is that I am not sure where to place these formulas into my report so they assign the variables and execute properly when previewing my report. I am curious if that is my issue, and if so, can someone provide me direction on where to put each of these formulas in my report.
Currently, when I try to preview the report, I get the following Crystal Reports Error: -u201CA number, currency amount, Boolean, date, time, date-time, or string is expected here.u201D
Then Crystal automatically opens the AddBizDays formula and highlights the word added, see below RE: u201CWHILE Addedu201D
For reference, my report has 3 groups, and I am displaying all of my output information (and locating my formulas) in the group footer #3 report section. I have moved them around to other report sections/groups/placements, but to no success.
Thanks so much.
Best, Matt

I worked this out... FYI - for the benefit of all forum users:
ADDING BUSINESS DAYS TO A CERTAIN DATE (excluding weekends and holidays)
1. Variable name = AddBizDays
//Adding Business Days:
WhileReadingRecords;
DateVar Array Holidays;
DateVar Target:= CDate(); // Put your field name in here
NumberVar Add:= ; // put the number of days here to add (a positive number)
NumberVar Added := (0);
WHILE Added < Add
Do (target := target +1;
    if dayofweek (target) in 2 to 6 and not (target in holidays)
        then Added:=Added+1
        else Added:=Added);
Target
2. Variable name = HOLIDAYS
//Holiday Array Formula for the report Header:
BeforeReadingRecords;
DateVar Array Holidays := [
Date (2003,12,25), // you can put in as many lines for holidays as you want.
Date (2003,12,31)
0
...too bad i don't get forum points for sharing this solution.

How to Schedule a Report to Run on a Specific Business Day and Not on the Weekend

Hi,
Is there a way to schedule a Webi report to run on a specific Business Day? For example, if I wanted a report to run on the 3rd day of every month, but when the 3rd day for a particular month landed on a Saturday or Sunday, then Monday would automatically be chosen instead. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
You can do that by selecting the calendar option while scheduling the report and manually selecting the 3rd day of every month and when the 3rd day for a particular month landed on a Saturday or Sunday, then select the next Monday.
I dont see any option available for this scenario directly in BO.

Calculation of due date based on Business Days for FICA documents

Hi All,
I am working on project where SD - FICA integration is in picture. We post some charges through SD and FICA document gets posted on relevant Contract Account.
Normally we create Sales Order using transaction VA01 and then we do Billing for this Sales Order through VF01. After billng is done, FICA document automatically gets generated.
We have following requirement to be fulfilled.
For the SD bills posted as above, I want to calculate due date of these bills based on Business Days for FICA document generated (SAP Standard calculate due date based on Calander days). We can use factory calander for calculating business days in relevant function module.
I have checked in the system and it seems that event 1330 ( FM - ISU_DUE_DATE_DETERMINE) is not working in this scenario. Is there any other FM which I can use?
Can anyone help me on this?
Regards,
Pradeep

Hello Praeva ,
The event 1330 has a sample FM FKK_SAMPLE_1330. It doesnt even have a Standard Function Module.
You need to create a Installation-Specific FM and put your code to determine the Due Date based on the logic.

Oracle 8i: Business Days Calculation in a Subquery

To Whom It May Concern:
I apologize if this has been posted already, but I didn't find any threads that address my issue:
I need to find the number of business days between 2 dates (excludes weekends) provided by dates from an outer query such as the following:
SELECT
     C.CUSTOMER_ID
     , C.ENTRY_DATE
     , C.COMPLETION_DATE
     , <SOME SUBQUERY HERE THAT CALCULATES THE NUMBER OF BUSINESS DAYS BETWEEN C.COMPLETION_DATE AND C.ENTRY_DATE> AS BUSINESS_DAYS
FROM CUST_TABLE C
Thanks for your time and advice.
Max

you don't need a subquery. it's a very simple formula

Creating a report subscription to run on the 5th BUSINESS day.

I have a report that needs to send out on the 5th Business day, right now i have it running on the 5th of the month but it needs to change so that it does not send out on the weekends. How do i schedule it to send out on the 5th business day?
Thanks!

We have created subscription with One-time Schedule and then created another agent job to execute on 1st working day.
Step 2: execute below to get code that will actually be executed by SQL agent for subscription.
SELECT
'EXEC ReportServer.dbo.AddEvent @EventType=''TimedSubscription'', @EventData='''
+ CAST(RS.SubscriptionID AS VARCHAR(40)) + '''' AS ReportCommand
FROM ReportServer.dbo.ReportSchedule RS JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs SJ
ON Convert(varchar(500),RS.ScheduleID) = SJ.name
JOIN ReportServer.dbo.ReportSchedule RSC
ON SJ.name = Convert(varchar(500),RSC.ScheduleID)
JOIN ReportServer.dbo.Subscriptions SU
ON RSC.SubscriptionID = SU.SubscriptionID
JOIN ReportServer.dbo.Catalog CA
ON SU.report_oid = CA.itemid
Join ReportServer.dbo.Users U
on U.UserID = CA.CreatedByID
where CA.Name like 'Test' --Add your report name here
Step 3 : Create another SQL job to execute daily and add below to job step
DECLARE @Today DATE = GETDATE(), @Workingday Date
SELECT @Workingday = CASE DATEDIFF(DAY, '19000101', theDate) % 7
WHEN 0 THEN DATEADD(DAY, 4, theDate)
WHEN 6 THEN DATEADD(DAY, 5, theDate)
ELSE DATEADD(DAY, 6, theDate)
END
FROM (
SELECT DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, '19000101', @Today), '19000101')
) AS d(theDate)
IF @Today = @Workingday
BEGIN
EXEC ReportServer.dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='A30C87A9-4AF1-43FA-978A-2AFD05215' --Add output from previous query
END;
Make sure you test above solution as you might have to tweak a bit to work in your environment.

Formula to calculate due date considering only business days (Middle East)

I have a form which contains two fields: 'Start Date' and 'Completion Date'; the 'Completion Date' field is automatically set, it's always 3 more days than the 'Start Date' field.
The problem is that these 3 days must be only business days.
- if 'Start Date' is on Sunday then the 'Completion Date' should be set to next Wednesday
- if 'Start Date' is on Monday then the 'Completion Date' should be set to next Friday
- if 'Start Date' is on Tuesday then the 'Completion Date' should be set to next Sunday
- if 'Start Date' is on Wednesday then the 'Completion Date' should be set to next Monday
- if 'Start Date' is on Thursday then the 'Completion Date' should be set to next Tuesday
- if 'Start Date' is on Friday then the 'Completion Date' should be set to next Tuesday
- if 'Start Date' is on Saturday then the 'Completion Date' should be set to next Tuesday
Friday and Saturday should be ignored as 'Completion Date' (weekend in Middle East).
Anyone has any idea of how to make this formula? I need to put it into a calculated SharePoint column.
Thanks in advance for your help.
