Finding a Rogue Formula

Post Author: mfewtrell
CA Forum: .NET
Hi there
I have a report on which I have changed the bindings (so that the report data now comes from a dataset). When I run the report I get an exception:
Error in formula <Object_Visibility>. 'PercentOfDistinctCount ({SELECTInvoiceData;1.Ship_to_addr_1}, {SELECTInvoiceData;1.Ship_to_addr_1}) <> 100'This field name is not known.
This is correct as this formula needs to be updated.
The issue is that despite repeated checks on the report i cant find where this Formula occurs (I didnt create the original report).
Is there an easy way to track down where this entry is on the report, something like a Find/Replace on "SELECTInvoiceData;1.Ship_to_addr_1}"
Thanks

I assume you mean that you have several wireless access points, not wireless routers.
Have your IT Dept disconnect the ethernet cable that connects the Access Point to the main switch or router, and then "tone" the wire to trace it.
Use one of these:

Another option is to flash the firwmare over the LAN, BUT that will probably default the Access Point to an address already in use and that may create a bigger problem.

How to find out which formulas have been used in sales orders of a period

Hi Experts,
I am trying to find out how much my users actually use the formula and average pricing. Therefore, I am trying to build a quick viewer by relating tables. In order to use the F&A pricing, they use one particular condition type ZFA1. By linking tables vbak and KONV via KNUMV, I can see in which orders they have used ZFA1, but I also want to find out which Formula they have chosen from the repository. As this is visible for the user from the sales order, there should be a table that stores it, but I cannot find it. Does someone know the table and can help me on this topic?
If you provide the solution, I will definitely give you the reward points. Thank you in advance!
Greetings
Petra

Hi Petra,
Please try to check the table OICQ7 with KNUMV from VBAK.

Finding a rogue WiFi router on local network

This is likely a very odd and possibly complicated question, but I figure I'd throw it out there anyways.
At my office, we have a couple wireless routers throughout the building. However, one in particular has started to act up. It used to work perfectly, but in the last month or so, it has stopped working. Connecting to it via the password that was set no longer works. Laptops can SEE the network in a list of wireless connections, but we can't log into anymore.
Now, normally a easy solution would be to find the physical router and reset it manually. But here's the problem.
We don't know where it actually is. It was installed before myself or the current IT specialist were hired. We were able to use a Macbook and iStumbler to detect its general location by walking around the building and guaging signal strength. But we still can't find it. It's likely up in the ceiling somewhere. Don't ask me why.
So, I'm wondering if there's a way, be it through an app, Terminal, etc, to detect the router over the network. If we're able to get the IP of the device, maybe we can log into it and possibly fix the problem.
If not, perhaps people know of a good device we could purchase to further locate the physical device it self? I've seen a handful of WiFi detectors, but they usually only show 1-5 bars - nothing more.
Any insight?

Formula to deduct one cell from another cell - simple equation - cant find the answer, formula to deduct one cell from another cell - simple equation - cant find the answer

Could anyone tell me how to deduct one cell from another cell in the numbers application.
Thank you!

to subtract one cell from another you enter a formula in a cell by:
1) click the cell where you want the result to be
2) click the cell that contains on of the operands
3) type the minus sign ("-")
4) click the other cell with the other operand
e.g. if cell A1 contains 5, cell B1, contains 2 and you want the difference of those two cells to be in cell C1....
you would click cell C1 and then type: "=A1-B1" then type the enter key OR
click cell C1 and then type "=", then click cell A1, then type "-", then click cell B1, then type the "enter" key

Opening Finder shows Rogue "Saleson" PC Server under Shared. What is it ???

I have Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.5. When I open Finder, I see an item called "saleson" under the Shared tab on the sidebar. When I select it, it has a "Connect As" button below it. If I right click on the"saleson" and select Get Info, it says its a PC Server.
What is this?? How do I remove it??

It would appear that there is a computer (or some other network device) called "Saleson" on your network.
Is your network Wifi, wired or both? Can you look at your router to see "Connected Devices"?
In any case, that is what you are seeing in the Finder.

How do I find a rogue file in Muse?

The file stops complete transfer to my host site. The site works perfectly well when exported as HTML, but stops at about 96% when transferring to the host

Hi
This can be an issue on other end ( server end ) as export to HTML works fine so Muse is exporting the files correctly but while exporting to external server if it stuck then we should check on server side if there is any problem related to specific file upload.
As a workaround, you can use any FTP client and then upload the exported html files to root location.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How to find a word written with two fonts...?

Hi,
I have a 200+ pages document that contains some words with the first letter in Times regular and the rest in Times italic. Is there any way to find those words in the document?
Thanks

Ooooo, Dave ....
Annabelle, a non scripting solution is the following.
You cannot search for words with multiple fonts. However, since you can search for words in one font, you can exclude 'good' ones.
I will be assuming you have a regular document, with just black text ...
In Search & Replace, GREP, search for "\b\w+\b" with a font style of "Regular" and replace with formatting: text color red. Be sure not to accidentally put anything in the replace text field -- it should be entirely empty. Now all entirely Regular words are red.
Repeat with the font style "Italic". Now all words that are entirely Regular or Italic are in red.
Search for "\b\w+\b" with a text color of Black. This will find all words that are neither entirely in Italic nor entirely in Regular.
In case you never used it before, the GREP expression means "a word boundary -- one or more word characters -- a word boundary". Essentially, it does a 'Find entire word' for any length of words.
Note that if you have words in, say, bold, bold italic, or 46 Light Italic, you will have to mark these as well with the check colour, or else you'll also find them 'bad'.
You might want to create a new swatch for marking, so you can delete it afterwards, replacing with Black again.
... Are you familiar with how to use scripts? It might be a bit easier if I wrote a tiny script, although my method will find all rogue formatted text.

Here's how to find the right word in a string

I needed to find the rightmost word in a string. I didn't find a simple formula in these forums, but I now have one, so I wanted to share it. Hope you find it useful.
Assuming that the string is in cell A1, the following will return the rightmost word in the string:
RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))

I found the problem. Whatever character was being used in the substitution was parsed out by the forum parser. I replaced it with "œ" (option q on my keyboard).
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("œ",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","œ",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
Still needs an error check for a single-word "sentence" and to remove the trailing period but it does seem to work. Pretty slick.

Rogue Detection and SPT issues

Deployed wireless a few months. From a client to infrastrure standpoint, majority of users are happy with the ability to go wireless with their personal and work devices.
The problem we're facing is proper identification of rogue's AP's on our wired network (hot spots aren't important)
I've setup a few linksys AP's connected to our access switches and found WLC/PRIME finds the rogue AP's but when a SPT is performed, both WLC/PRIME state it's not on the wired network (which is not true). If I do a manual trace, in Prime, it will work but I can't do a manual trace everytime I get an alert (we're in a major US city). Further investigation shows the lan and wlan mac address of this linksys router is +/- from one another (confirmed by with arp table on access switch and going into prime and looking at the alert).. Which in this case, Prime should see it as WIRED and mark it as a ROGUE and alert me
Found a document
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/wireless/prime_infrastructure/1.3/configuration/guide/admin.html#wp1603927 stating only the following switches are supported: 3750, 3560, 3750E, 3560E, and 2960.
I can't see how these are the only supported devices, most are older than the 4510. I posted this in another thread and a rep provided me the link
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09186a0080b40901.shtml
Read this and even went further and read ROGUE MANAGMENT WHITE PAPER
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09186a0080b40901.shtml
This does not mention a limitation of switches support. States if CDP and SNMP is enable, along with the local access switches added to PRIME it should work
Here is the currently list of deployed devices, code and basic configuration
Access Switches - 4510 - image: cat4500e-universalk9.SPA.03.02.02.SG.150-2.SG2.bin
WLC - 5500 - image 7.4.103.9
AIR-CAP3602I-A-K9 - 152 deployed, 151 are configured for Local Mode, 1 is configured as Rogue Detector (trunked with all access vlan's passing thru)
RLDP is enabled on all Local Mode AP's - which after reading is not best practice because of time slicing and the fact is degrades client quality and can kick users off
Basically looking for feedback from others who have deployed wireless and have succesfully configured their environement for ROGUE AP DETECTION with SPT.. What are your thoughts and what do you run?
Thanks in advance

Mark:
Complaints about the performance of Switchport Tracing are pretty common. The best way to build this out is to start with your planted rogue AP is connected to the same switch that your Prime Infrastructure server connects to--or the first wired switch that ESX/ESXi host connects to--and validate that it works there, make whatever changes you need to get it working, then move the planted rogue AP to the next switch and so on. The logging modules Configuration, General, Monitor, GUI, System and Tools should cover everything you need to know why Switchport Tracing isn't giving the results you expect. This "start small and work your way up" helps you learn lessons about what needs to be configured on all your switches to have it working the way you want it to.

Array index problem in formula node

dear friend
I'm trying to use formula node to solve a problem because I make this program using c at the begining.
It runs perfectly in turbo c, but somehow it doesn't work in the formula node.
I try to debug my source code, and I find that the formula node seems can't read the true value in
the array.
Here is the code in the formula node.
int32 i,j,k;
for ( i = 0 ; i < sopa; i++ )
j = 1;
ep[i][0] = pa[i];
ep[i][1] = np[ep[i][0]][0];
while ( ep[i][j-1] != exit )
  for ( k = 0 ; k < sonp ; k++ )
    if ( np[ep[i][j-1]][k] != -1 && (pc[ep[i][j-1]][ep[i][j]] + pc[ep[i][j]][exit] >= pc[ep[i][j-1]][np[ep[i][j-1]][k]] + pc[np[ep[i][j-1]][k]][exit] ) && (pc[ep[i][j-1]][np[ep[i][j-1]][k]] == org[ep[i][j-1]][np[ep[i][j-1]][k]] ))
      ep[i][j] = np[ep[i][j-1]][k];
  j++;
This is the part that I think the problem might be.
if ( np[ep[i][j-1]][k] != -1 && (pc[ep[i][j-1]][ep[i][j]] + pc[ep[i][j]][exit] >= pc[ep[i][j-1]][np[ep[i][j-1]][k]] + pc[np[ep[i][j-1]][k]][exit] ) && (pc[ep[i][j-1]][np[ep[i][j-1]][k]] == org[ep[i][j-1]][np[ep[i][j-1]][k]] ))
ep[i][j] = np[ep[i][j-1]][k];
I state that "np[ep[i][j-1]][k] != -1" but I do get the value -1 in the array "ep".
Could someone tell me why I get -1 in the array?
I hope I can finally do it all by labview not using formula node,but array like "pc[ep[i][j-1]][np[ep[i][j-1]][k]] "
seems very hard to wire in labview. Could someone give me some good advices of doing this?
Thanks for your help

There are many possible scenarios to get a -1 in the ep output. For example if the -1 gets already written in step (A) or (B) at a certain index, and that index does not get overwritten in step (D). You are indexing all over the place! Is there some bounds checking on the array contents? What are typical inputs and array sizes?
I'm sure about that the -1 doesn't get already written in step (A) or (B) because ep[i][0] and ep[i][1] is fine. What really makes me confuse is that sometimes ep array has the value like this.
That means it does overwritten some value in step (D). The -1 should never be written into it because I have already state that np[ep[i][j-1]][k] != -1. Somehow I still get -1,and this is really strange! I'm indexing all over the place becuase I can't figure out a better way to achieve my requirement.
I think I should briefly tell you what I'm trying to do. In this program,I input some values which means the distance from one point to another. Then I use floyd's all pairs shortest-path algorithm to find all the shortest distance. Finally I want to find out the "shortest path". I mean like from point 4 to point 0,the shortest path might be like 4 -> 2 -> 1 -> 0, and what the formula node part do is trying to find out this "shortest path". Maybe you can give me some better advice of doing this, I have been thinking a better way to do it for about two months. I think I'm really not good at this.
I try to do it all by labview ,but again I get a strange problem. This time the ep[i][j-1] doesn't get the correct value. In the first time i=0 j-1=0 ep[i][j-1] = 1,but the second time i = 0 j-1 = 1 ep[i][j-1] = 0. This makes the "ep[i][j-1]!=exit" get the incorrect boolean value. The ep[i][j-1] should be 2,not 0. I try to use highlight to find if I make any mistake, but I can't one.This is the input and I put the labview program in attached file (temp4.vi).
Could you help me find out why this happened?
Thanks for your help altenbach!

Locate rogue java process eating swap space.

How can i find a rogue java process (lwp) eating up swap space ? The system is very low on swap but has half of memory free.

I'd start with ps -e -o vsz,pid,args | sort -nThe process with the largest VM footprint will be on the bottom.
How are you measuring that swap is being eaten? Are you using 'swap -s'? Is it mainly going into allocation or reservation?

DAX formula/measure problem

Dear excel champions
My problem is to find the DAX formula decribing distribution ratio.
Distribution ratio should be calculated as: (based on data below)
Distribution ratio= avg(Number of Visits Where product is available in ALFA stores / Number of Visits where product should be available in ALFA stores , Number of Visits Where product is available in BETA stores / Number of Visits where product should be available
in BETA stores) = avg(4/8,3/4) = 62.5%
The fact which complicate this calculation is ALFA stores visited more than once.
I tried everything and could not find the solution.
I hope someone manage to help me with this task

Anyone helps? What function should I use: calculate, average, averagex, summarize, filter, count, countx, earlier, sumx, discount, countrows?
I do not know which ones are appropriate and how to join them in a one formula/measure.
thx for any posts

Great job Marco :)
It' working!
In a final formula we need to replace divided sums:
avg :=
AVERAGEX (
    VALUES ( Tablename[Client] ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( [Number of Visits where product is available] )
SUM ( Tablename[Number of Visits where product should be available] )
Simple but made me frustrating

Local formula created in web analyzer not reflected in bex analyzer.

Hello all,
I had created a Local formula in the web analyzer and saved the query as a view. Now, when I open the same view in
bex analyzer then I cannot find the local formula column; i.e. it is not reflected in the bex analyzer.
Is this an error or this is not possible?
Thanks in advance,
Sandy.

Hello Sandy,
If you create the formulo at the web analyzer you will not be able to see it at the bex analyzer. Only if you create at the query designer, so you will be able to see it at the web and bex analyzer.
Thanks,
Diego Ferrary
