First Time FIll Rate Report in BI

Hi SAP Gurus,
Has anyone ever developed First Time Fill Rate report in BI. If yes. Please share how did you do that.
Thanks and Regards

First Time Fill Rate report in which context? I meant in respect to which field. Delivery ?
And what is the definition of First Time Fill Rate in your organization. Definition differs company by company.

Currency translation taking more time at first time in the report

Hi All,
Here is an issue regarding the currency translation in the report. when we click on the currency translation from the contaxt menu on the report, its taking more time for the first time to get the selection options. But it is fast from the second time onwards. It will be not user friendly if its takes more time for the first time. Is there any way to fast up the processing time for the first time when i go for the "currency translation" option at report level for the first time.
let me know why it takes more time for the first time when we go for this option at report level.
Thanks,
Jack

Once again from the top.
This is undoubtedly not a database issue.
I doubt you can fix it in the database.
You can, however, spend a lot of hours asking questions and poking around if you are a consultant paid by the hour.
But as long as you are looking for something to do here are some that won't fix the problem but may be worth a few minutes of your time.
WHERE 1 = 1Are you kidding? Drop this nonsense. The Oracle optimizer is not brain dead. If it were my database I would also drop the parallel hint like a bad habit.
/*+ parallel(rp1, 8) */Again the Oracle optimizer is not brain dead. Ask for parallel threads that don't exist and the database will just queue your SQL and let it sit there until sufficient resources become available.

Shipping order Fill rate report

Hello guys, I dlike to know which infoprovider would be best suited to get Fill rate information, knowing that fill rate is the first shipment item divided by the total order item.

Thanks for that answer, I do have some algorithm, that goes like this: fill rate is FIRST shipped order divided by the total order. Now the trick part is Fill rate shouldnt not change value if there are x amount of shipment after that first shipment to complete the order. This is where I dont know whether (and how) to implement that in a routine, or at bex level.

I am first time using jasper report help me

What are the steps involved in creating a JasperDecisions report?
To create a report, the user selects an existing report from the Scope Center, clicks on Ad Hoc Wizard, which launches the wizard. The user then chooses whether the desired report will be a table or a chart. After selecting columns and column order, the user can choose one or more levels of grouping. They can also set column aggregation functions such as sum, count, min, or max. The user can then apply a style from a style palette and run the report. Using this simple step-by-step guide, the Ad Hoc Wizard allows a novice user to create the report with no training.

Script runs not corrextly for first time

Hello,
i have kind a strange problem.
Always wenn i run my script first time (after opening Diadem), it works not corretly. Specificly creating a report goes wrong.
When i start the script for second time (and each additional time) everything works fine and correctly?!
For understand:
- I do some (mathemtical) analyse - always works correctly
- Load/Append prepared ReportLayout, add curves, create text objects - doesn't work for the first time, then it alwas works correctly
The mistake is, that all curves (that should be in several appended layouts and text objects) are added in the first loaded report sheet (though the reportsheets were appended)
As i said, when i start the script second time (and each additional time) everything works fine as it should?!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
yes i tryed with debugger step by step. No errors. Ironically with debugger step by step everything works fine (even for he first time)
It looks like, when i run the script for the first time, the appended report sheets are not active, because all curves are added in the first report sheet.
But why works it wrong only for the first time and then everything works fine?
Thanks

Report which contain subreports is not rendered first time is processed.

when I try to render report contains subreports from first time is not rendered but when i select regresh button the input screen is promb again and then i fill all input again and submit, as a result the report was rendered.
why this happen? is this a know issue?

after more testing that issue i discovered that when i try to render report of type "Table" then the report is rendered fom rthe first time i pass/set the input values of the report, but when i use reports of type "chart" the report is not rendered from first time and it need a refresh and then manually entering the values for the input.
i am using the folloing version of JRC:

Hi,
I have made an Windows.Forms application in VS2008, and when I hit the refresh button for the first time and the Parameter panels pops up I want the default parameter values to be visible in the fields of the panel.
Does someone have an idea how to do this?
My sourcecode looks like this:
    ''' <summary>
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="sender"></param>
    ''' <param name="e"></param>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim param As New ParameterValues
        param.AddValue("NL")
        If Not IO.File.Exists(xmlDataSource) Then
            Throw (New Exception("Unable to locate datasource file:" & vbCrLf & xmlDataSource))
        End If
        'Fill DataSet with xml data
        tempDataSet.ReadXml(xmlDataSource)
        mailDataSet.Tables(0).Merge(tempDataSet.Tables(0))
        'Set Report DataSource
        rpt.SetDataSource(mailDataSet.Tables(0))
        rpt.DataDefinition.ParameterFields("Taal").ApplyCurrentValues(param)
        crViewer.ReportSource = rpt
        crViewer.ShowGroupTreeButton = False
        crViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = False
        crViewer.ShowRefreshButton = False
    End Sub
    ''' <summary>
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="sender"></param>
    ''' <param name="e"></param>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Private Sub MainForm_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
        If rpt.HasSavedData Then
            rpt.Dispose()
        End If
    End Sub

Performance Problem when executing the report for the first time.

Hi,
We have a Zreport...to improve the performance i created Index on few Data Base table..before my changes it used to take more than 15 minutes after the changes it taking less than 1 min for the same variant and for other variants also.
But when executing the first in morning its taking the same time more than 15 min.Please let me know how to increase the performance when executing first time also,
Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi all,
Appreciate your valuable replies...
@ Thomas: i do accept with your solution running a background job..but user is not accepting for it..thanks for your reply.
@Siegfried Boes : for testing purpose Im running this manytimes..but for user they may
require when ever they need to know open oders.the volume of the data is barongs 300-350 at
max.
@Brad Bohn : After creating the index the repose time reduced to half ...i hope i have
created a right index.
Observation here...I executed the report in production system more than 5 times it took the
same time, my changes are still in quality..so i think may be for selecting the right index
its taking this much time.and for the next time is taking right index n doing it so it taking
less.
Do you accept it?.if so Please let me know how to explicitly say the select statement to
use my index.
Thanks,
kiran.

First time an SQL expression is placed on report a DB SELECT executes

The same problem can be created using the normal Crystal Reports XI Release 2 developer environment and/or code (not only a code issue). I'm using CR XI.
Symptom:
We dynamically auto generate SQL Expressions, Tables, Joins, Formula's and anything through C# and place it onto the Crystal Report through code via run-time user input in a web environment. I recieved a notification from one of my DB admins that crystal reports is causing massive memory consumption via unknown SELECT statements that have no joins and/or WHERE criteria.
Some Detective Work/More Info:
After using Microsoft "SQL Profiler" along with Crystal, I understand what is happening but don't know the "work around" to make Crystal stop executing the following SELECT scenario.
Anytime I create a new "SQL Expression" for the first time and then physically "drag and drop" it onto the report then Crystal is executing a "silent" SELECT statement against the database in the design environment. I'm calling it "silent" because I need MS SQL Profiler to see it happen. I'm guessing that this is used for validation or something but this is causing problems when automatically generating a report in a production environment.
Steps to re-create:
1. Open MS "SQL Profiler" and get it running. (will show Crystal Engine silently executes the SELECTS)
2. Add a new "SQL Expression" to your report.
3. Drag and Drop your new "SQL Expression onto your report
4. You will see that Crystal has created an SQL query and executed it against your database in design environment.
The Problem:
I can see under normal circumstances why you might want this funtionality (if it's actually used for the Crystal Engine to validate your SQL Expression). But, What also makes this functionality horrible is that on my behalf Crystal is creating these SELECT statements and using cross joins which is a major problem in a production environment. As a result, huge record sets are being created on our DB Server. I don't believe that this has any purpose in a production evironment when the cross-joins can create huge amounts of results just for the sake of Crystal Internally validating a new SQL Expression placed onto a report. It would be nice to disable this functionality in production. I don't know a "work around" since these SELECT queries are created on my behalf by the Crystal Engine at design time (via code auto generation in production).
Questions:
Can this functionality be disabled to prevent a production server from incurring the execution of these queries?
Anybody else notice this and have a "work around"?

How do I empty the Shuffle.
How can I plug the Shuffle in if it automaticly fills up with my Touch stuff?

Some apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

Large first-time sync fills up C: drive

I just got a new 80GB video iPod for Christmas. I store a large number of ripped music files, one season of a TV series, and some photos on an external hard drive, and manage them through iTunes. The grand total for all this content was around 60GB. Long ago, I configured iTunes to use the G: drive (the external hard drive) as the location for all my content.
The first-time sync to the new iPod went fine--automatic, not manual--except that something kept filling up the C: drive. (Again, the music is actually stored on an external G: drive.) I de-installed things during the sync to free up extra GB of space. As soon as they disappeared, iTunes kept filling them up. I'm now out of hard disk space on C:, with no idea what iTunes or the iPod did to fill up this space.
If there's some cache that needs to be cleared, nothing has cleared it yet, and I have no idea where to find it (or what the consequences of clearing it will be). The process seemed smart enough to use what space was available, but no more. In other words, the sync continued, even after there was no room left on the C: drive.
I had recently updated iTunes, which for reasons unknown, blew away my music library. I had just rebuilt it before doing the sync.
The lack of space on the home PC puts me in a dangerous situation, given how fussy WIndows gets when it doesn't have spare room on the hard disk to use for updates and other operations. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Here are other specifics, for what they're worth:
Operating system = Windows XP
iPod firmware version = 1.2 (couldn't update to 1.2.1 because of the lack of disk space)
iTunes version = 7.0.2
External hard disk = Western Digital, mounted via USB
iTunes option, Keep iTunes Music folder organized = true
Podcast subscriptions = none
HP desktop Windows XP See posting

There isn't any cache for iTunes, other than the buffer for streaming radio. What you might want to do is search your My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ folder and see if there is anything in there other than the .xml library file. I know you did a search for *.mp3 but check it anyway...there is a chance that iTunes converted the files from *.mp3 to *.m4a (AAC audio)

I want to create for the first time ever an iPhoto library on my Mac Mini from all of my seperate external hard drives over the years. Instead of filling my Mac Mini hard drive space with all of the pics can I import it to a seperate Apple hard drive.

I want to creat for the first time on my Mac Mini an iPhoto library. I have many seperate hard drives with pics I want to import but are concerned I will fill the hard drive with pics alone. Can I install the pics on one larg (1TB) external apple hard drive and use iPhoto functions still with the pics being installed on a seperate drive from the iPhoto OS?

This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Once that is done you can import directly into the iPhoto library on the external HD.

Urgent: Getting FRM-41211 when calling reports from forms for first time.

Hi,
We are running into the FRM-41211 error, when the users try to call a report from a form. The report is called from a form in SYNCHRONOUS mode. This is the only report that is being called. No other report is
running at that time when the users get this error. This is happening only the first time when they try to call the report from the form. After getting this error, when they click on OK, and when they try to call this
report again, the report works fine.
Any ideas?? It's urgent...
Thanks
Vamshi.

Maybe try to use "run_report_product"?
