Filter Oldest Entry for Each Record

Post Author: Stephanie
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
I have a file that has multiple rows for each record, each with a different date. I would like to filter the report so that only the oldest entry for each record appears. Any suggestions? The report looks like this:
Record 1     01/01/07
Record 1     03/01/07
Record 1     05/01/07
Record 2     03/01/07
Record 2     05/01/07
Record 2     07/01/07
I would like the report to show this:
Record 1     01/01/07
Record 2     03/01/07
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had already tried that and I could not get it to work. I made a variable =Min(<Date>). When I removed the other date field, my report did look like this:
Record 1     01/01/07
Record 2     03/01/07
The problem is that there are other fields in the entry that I need to display as well. Let me rephrase what my original file looks like.
Record 1     01/01/07     Product A
Record 1     03/01/07     Product H
Record 1     05/01/07     Product K
Record 2     03/01/07     Product Z
Record 2     05/01/07     Product G
Record 2     07/01/07     Product H
I want the result to look like this:
Record 1     01/01/07     Product A
Record 2     03/01/07     Product Z
When I use the min formula, I can't figure out a way to get the product information from the original record as well.

Where can I find the user key precedence hierarchy for each record type?

Example: I want to update contact records through the CRMOD web service API.
So I'm looking at the "Oracle Web Services On Demand Guide, Version 6.0 (released August 2010)", page 316, and it lists 3 user keys for Contact.wsdl v2.0 in the following order:
1. FirstName and LastName
2. Id
3. ExternalSystemId
From what I can see, this order does not seem to reflect the precedence hierarchy of these 3 user keys.
I've send in a test update where I supplied a FN, LN, and EUID, ... and the contact that matched the EUID got updated.
(I'm glad it did, because EUID really needs to take precedence over FN+LN, otherwise you could never change a contact's last name without knowing the contact's Row Id.)
Does anyone know where I can find the precedence hierarchy for each record type's user keys (other than doing the obvious and time consuming "try+error")?

Hi,
we experienced similar problems with the account object and asked the oracle support about this. This was their answer:
"[...] thank you for contacting CRM On Demand Customer Care. Regarding your question, please note the below: when perfoming a query, the user key fields are looked for in this order: - Row id - External System Id - AccountName and Location. Basically, the search will be performed by AccountName and Location only when the other fields are missing. This is an expected behavior because, the Row Id is the strongest filter as it is always unique. The external system Id comes second, as it is supposed to be unique in another system."
So, I guess the order is always
1) Row Id
2) External System Id
3) specific field combinations...
kind regards

Hi,
I need to genarate primary key for each record in the paylod in mapping..

Hi Bavesh,
I will explain with the example:

SSRS 2008 R2 - Separate report for Each record?

Hi,
How do I create new pdf reports for each records from a table? The pdf files should be named as customerid.pdf and needs to be delivered in email or share path?
Each record has enough content for 5 page of pdf report.
How do we achieve this?
Thanks
Raj

You can create a data driven subscription to loop through records in the table and create pdf based on number of customerid.
Have a look at this for DD subscriptions :

Table cntrol field to be display/Change only For each record

Hi all,
How to set a particular Field in table control either as display only or
change only for <b>each row</b> based on certain condition.I need to set this property for each record in table control not for the entire coloumn?.I know the procedure for setting up an entire coloumn in table control either as diplay or change only using <b>Loop at screen</b> statement.
Conditions:
If Material is batch managed:
itab-batch field has to be <b>Display only</b> mode.
if material is not batch managed:
itab-batch field has to be <b>change mode</b>.
<b>O/p of Table Control :</b>
Material     Batch
1000         Display only
2000        Change only
8000        Change only
3500        Display only
3600        Display only

Hi Ravi,
          Thanks for your reply.I have put the code as u said. It is modifying the whole coloumn insted of modifying Current row of the coloumn.
I have tried to modify the screen property using Table control attributes (TC-COLS).The following commented code is that logic.Even that also doing the same thing.Can yoy please tell me how to do it.

Itunes has stopped working and iphone calendar has 10 entries for each event

"itunes has stopped working", since I tried an update which failed.
Also when I plugged in my iphone it went straight to restore and not only lost all my recent stuff as you might expect - annoying enough, but has installed at least 10 entries for each event. How do I get rid of them? Tried deleting the event but it doesn't take away every single entry. (And can I get my recent stuff back?)
These are probably diffferent problems but as my name implies I'm a complete numpty when it comes to the technical terms so please, in lay terms, what should I do?

Well I seem to have solved this myself...Much to my surprise!
First the itunes issue. When the itunes update screen came up again it said if you have trouble with this go to Tools (top of itunes panel) and press "download only" which I did and the rest just sort of happened. It uninstalled and then installed.. All I had to do was open each file. Checked my stuff and all there. Checked itunes store and straight in.
Iphone calendar. Not sure how this happened but it had about 25 - 30 copies of each event. I went through each calendar and by process of elimination deleted the ones that seemed to be causing the problem. I didn't lose any events but all of a sudden there was only one each of them. Bizzaire but true.
This is a very rare day for me. A Good IT Day.

From XML (import) for each record automatic new page creation?

Hello,
I'm playing around with XML.
Can someone tell me where to look and help me?
I load variable data via XML.
Example content xml:
<pages>
     <page>
         <id>1</id>
         <article>title page 1</article>
         <info>Info page 1</info>
         <price>price page 1</price>
     </page>
     <page>
         <id>2</id>
         <article>title page 2</article>
         <info>Info page 2</info>
         <price>price page 2</price>
     </page>
     <page>
         <id>3</id>
         <article>title page 3</article>
         <info>Info page 3</info>
         <price>price page 3</price>
     </page>
</pages>
I have 1 page classified (ie 3 text boxes). The idea is that for each record in the xml (in this case 1, 2 and 3) a new page is created (Qua layout identical to the page that I had prepared, but with the corresponding data in each box)
How do I do this?
Thanks!

If you need to keep the three parts of your page in separate text frames, you are probably out of luck.
I can't tell from your question whether you know how to tag frames and import XML content into them. If you don't, the manual is fairly clear on it. However, it states more than once that "InDesign flows merged XML content into existing frames only." That means that it won't add frames or pages for you -- you can only load XML into tagged frames on the first page and will have to add extra ones by hand.
If you could rework your design so that all the elements could be accommodated in a single text frame, using paragraph styles to keep them apart, you could just import the XML and map tags to styles, then drag it into a frame on the first pages. If your article style was set to start in a new frame, everything but the first would go into overset text, which you could deal with in the usual way -- shift-click on the in port of a new frame and InDesign will add the pages you need.

How to call webservice for each record in a table using ODI

If your goal is "call" a web service, Jason's Straub's [flex-ws-api|https://flex-ws-api.samplecode.oracle.com/] is by far the best I've seen. You might want read more about it on [his blog|http://jastraub.blogspot.com/search?q=+flex_ws_api+].

Mapping issue: FCC: Idoc for each record in file

Hi,
I have file to Idoc scenario.
I receive csv file with multiple records.
The requirement is to create an Idoc for each record.
For eg.
source file
A1,B1,C1
A2,B2,C2
A3,B3,C3
After FCC
<MT>
<TRANS>
<ROW>
<A>A1</A>
<B>B1</B>
<C>C1</C>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<A>A2</A>
<B>B2</B>
<C>C2</C>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<A>A3</A>
<B>B3</B>
<C>C3</C>
</ROW>
</TRANS>
<MT>
I have first tested it with only 1 record to test end to end connectivity. It works as expected and Idoc is posted to target system.
Now when I am trying to send multiple records, I am getting some issues.
Below are the steps that I have taken to process multiple records:
1. Changed the cardinality of ROW (child of RecordSet) from 1 to Unbounded.
2. Changed the occurance of Idoc to Unbounded.
3. Mapped ROW to Idoc root.
I have tested the mapping in IR and it generates multiple IDOCs.
When I send the test file, it fails with error Tag found instead of tag IDOC BEGIN=
I can see the xml message created with multiple ROWs in XI by File adapter in sxmb_moni.
When I do Test Configuration in ID, with the XML message extracted from sxmbmoni, the result that I got was:_
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge"><ns0:Message1></ns0:Message1></ns0:Messages>
This means that idoc was not created while mapping.
But the same sample message works OK in IR!
Pls help where I have missed.
Regards,
Anirudh.

Sudhir,
Thanks for your response.
FCC is working fine. I have taken the XML message in XI created after FCC from csv sample message.
I have tested this message in IR by placing it between
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
<ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Message>
It is working fine and Idocs are created in mapping in IR.
But the same sample message is creating below output ID!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge"><ns0:Message1></ns0:Message1></ns0:Messages>

Create single message in receiving side for each record in the sender file

Dear Experts,
My Interface is from FILE to MQ (JMS)..
I have a specific requirement in my project, I have multiple files in sender directory ( /tmp)
Ex: FILE_20090202.TXT
FILE_20090203.TXT
FILE_20090204.TXT
FILE_20090205.TXT
And each file has couple of records just shown below:
ABC   123     WER    SER
BCD   345     WEDR    SER
CDE   567     GHTE   DDGG u2026. Etc..
I have to process all the files at a time ( may be I can use file masking by FILE*.txt) , one message has to be created in MQ for each record of the file..
Ex:
Message 1: ABC   123     WER    SER
Message 2: BCD   345     WEDR    SER
Message 3: CDE   567     GHTE   DDGG
Valuable inputs are appiciated !!
Cheers,
Kumar

As already suggested, multi-mapping can be used
You need to set target root node occurrence to unbounded and map root node accordingly
you will have to use enhanced interface determinaion

How to have a unique value for each record??

could any 1 help me out in this...
I want to have a column name 'Order No' which should be unique.
How to generate a unique value for each record.??

could any 1 help me out in this...
I want to have a column name 'Order No' which should be unique.
How to generate a unique value for each record.?? If you are using SQL PLUS to create the table try something like
this:
CREATE TABLE ORDER_TEST (
ORD_NO NUMBER (8) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ORDERDATE DATE,
CUSTID NUMBER (8) NOT NULL,
SHIPDATE DATE,
TOTAL NUMBER (8,2) CONSTRAINT TOTAL_ZERO CHECK
(TOTAL >= 0),
CONSTRAINT ORD_FOREIGN_KEY FOREIGN KEY (CUSTID) REFERENCES
CUSTOMER (CUSTID),
CONSTRAINT ORD_UNIQUE UNIQUE (ORD_NO)
-- or a simpler table example
DROP TABLE ORDER_TEST;
CREATE TABLE ORDER_TEST (
ORD_NO NUMBER (8),
ORDERDATE DATE,
CUSTID NUMBER (8) NOT NULL,
SHIPDATE DATE,
TOTAL NUMBER (8,2) CONSTRAINT TOTAL_ZERO CHECK
(TOTAL >= 0),
CONSTRAINT ORD_UNIQUE UNIQUE (ORD_NO)
note: ORD_NO can also be a primary key
If you are doing the INSERT during runtime from a form first
create a sequence in SQL PLUS to handle the ORD_NO value:
Create SEQUENCE ORDERNO_UNIQUEVAL_sqnc
START WITH 000001
NOMAXVALUE
NOCACHE;
and reference it as the ORD_NO parameter in your INSERT
statement:
ORDERNO_UNIQUEVAL_sqnc.NEXTVAL
note: to maintain data integrity you must use the sequence
everytime you insert a new order to table. To start a new
sequence drop the sequence and re-create it with whatever "START
WITH" value you want.
Hope this helps

Graphical mapping question - need to create 2 nodes for each record

The mapping is from flat to nested, i.e. flat file to FIDCC2 idoc. Each record has to go to 2 repeated IDoc segments, each one with different posting key. Right now, I have it working for each record to a segment(for one segment) by using splitByValue (value change). How can I repeat the creation of another but with slightly different constant.
Also, how do I add line numbers? I remember seeing a posting on this a while ago - cannot locate it.
Will be Rewarded WELL.
Thanks,
Pam

Hi, Pam
Using the following example to store it as global variable
SetParameter from GloabalContainer:
container.getGlobalContainer ().setParameter ("COUNTER", "0");
GetParameter from GloabalContainer:
String myCounter = (String) container.getGlobalContainer().getParameter ("COUNTER");
When you map to your constant, store it in global variable, then you map other field, get current global variable, check its value, based on the value, you do proper mapping.
Hope it helps

How to append parameter with URL for each record in table control?

Hi,
I have one table control which contains 5 columns.
(tripno, startdate, destination, reason, activities)
In 5th column, i need to display URL for each record.
for ex:
www.abc.com/test?tripno=1
www.abc.com/test?tripno=2
www.abc.com/test?tripno=3
when user clicks a particular hyperlink, it navigates to another page/component thru URL with one key field(tripno) to retrieve related records in next page.
1) i am not able to assign tripno to each record. when i assign tripno, its taking the last value which i assigned. ie. tripno=3 only.
How to assign URL to Reference field of LINK_TO_URL element at run time?
OR
2) we can do like this.
Simply assign url to reach record without key field.
www.abc.com/test
www.abc.com/test
www.abc.com/test
when user clicks a particular link, we can assign corresponding key field to the URL.
Where should i write this event? Bcoz, LINK_TO_URL doesnot have event.
how to do?

Hi MOg.
Not sure whether I understand you .. but in the 5th column you want to have the reference URL. Is this the activities columen from you example?
Nevertheless, you need a attribute (String) in your context node which contains the URL. Bind this to the reference filed of linktourl. If you can not extend the structure you can create a sub node (cardinality 1:1) which contains the refernce attribute.
Then loop over all elements and concatenate www.abc.com/test?tripno= with the tripno of the current element into the reference field.
Hope tis helps,
Sascha.
