Format.dat parameters for a LaCie d2 250GB USB disk

When attemting to format a LaCie d2 250GB USB disk on a Sparc Solaris 9 system, autoconfigure for disk type fails. Does anybody have the drive geometry for this disk that I can put in format.dat? http://www.lacie.com has info relating to only M$ or Mac systems but nothing relating to no. of cylinders/heads/sectors etc.
Thanks much in advance

I have got a 1 TB LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Disk with FireWire 800 and 400, USB 2.0 and eSATA.
You can get rid of the preinstalled software, but what I recommend you to do is to download the LaCie Firmware Updater to update the external drive firmware to the most recent version > http://www.lacie.com/us/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10250
Then, nothing else to do. If you are going to use your external drive only with Macs, format it in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", so you can use it to store files or to make backups of your files

Format Date Parameters

I have an BI Publisher parameter
<?P_INVOICE_BEGIN_DATE?>
It displays like this:
1988-10-01T00:00:00.000-04:00
How do I display it like this:
01-OCT-1988
Thanks!

<?format-date:P_INVOICE_BEGIN_DATE;’dd-MMM-yyyy’?>For ex:
<?format-date:’2007-07-01T00:00:00.000-06:00’;’DD-MON-YYYY’?>
you get 01-Jul-2007 as output.

Dynamic date parameters for a scheduled report that runs every day

I have a report that has input parameters for a start date and
end date. The report will be scheduled to run once a day at a
scheduled time. I need the report to automatically set the start
date and end dates when the report runs at the scheduled time.
When the report runs at the scheduled time, the end date needs
to be set to that time and the start date needs to be set to 24
hrs before the end date. I want the start and end dates to roll
forward automatically when the scheduled report runs each day. I
don't want any user intervention to change the start and end
dates every day. How can I do this in a report ?
Also, since the report is scheduled to run each day, I want the
output to be saved to a unique file name each time the report is
run as each day's report will report on the data only for that
day. How can I get the report to save to a unique file name
automatically each day ? Again, I don't want any user
intervention where they would set the output file name manually.

Try adding the following in the beforereport or beforepform
trigger, before the RETURN clause (TRUNC gets rid of the time
component of the date):
:p_date_from := TRUNC(sysdate) - 1;
:p_date_to := TRUNC(sysdate);
:desname := 'REPORT'||TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY')||'.txt'

Default Date Parameters for SSRS Subscription

I have a SSRS 2008 R2 report running on a Sharepoint 2010 site.
It has two date parameters (Beginning and Ending Date).
The defaults of these dates are calculated correctly when running interactively.
For example:
=DateAdd("d",-28, Today)
=DateAdd("d",-1, Today)
However, when you create a subscription the defaults are based on when the report is submitted and not when the report is executed.
Is there anyway to set a subscription to pull the default parameters every time when executed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi miguelh,
Based on my research, if we specified the report parameters with “Use Report Default Value” is checked in the subscription, we could get the report from this subscription with the default value. The default values are based on the expression when the subscription
is executed, rather than the time when we create the subscription. If today is 7/21/2014, the Beginning Date is 6/23/2014, Ending Date is 7/20/2014.
So, please double check you have typed the expressions as the default values in the two date parameters and we have select the “Use Report Default Value” as the parameter values when creating the subscription .
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Date parameters for Date range

Hi,
I got a report with 2 parameters From Date and To Date and i have 2 columns items in the report absence start date and absence end date.
i have to make sure that the date range satisfies all case's
what is the best way that I can these validation rules in discoverer on these dates...?
case's are something like this:
1 (absence start date > from date; absence end date > to date)
2 (absence start date > from date; absence end date < to date)
3 (absence start date < from date; absence end date > to date)
4 (absence start date > from date; absence end date < to date)
Any help would be really appreciated.

Using conditions in Discoverer is just like specifying a where clause in SQL with AND and OR. You should be able to use conditions for what is being described below.
Are you not able to do that using conditions in your report ?

How scheduler job in HPUX and Data Parameters

Hi guys, is there a way to invoke a PAS procedure from an external scheduler?
Anyone have an procedure example that passes date parameters for the load data procedure?
Thank you,
Rgrds, Vitoriano

Hi Luis,
On how to call PAS procedures you might want to check the following thread: Re: Run procedure in Application Server from the command line
Regarding the date parameters, what are you trying to achive? You can anyway get very good ideas from the wfmde_setup.pro file, used for E&A. There you have some code to turn the actual system date into a PAS parameter.
Best regards,

Why are you passing date values as varchar2?
One of the fundamental programming principles is to use the correct data types for variables and parameters. Exactly because of the type of problem you are now experiencing.
So do not use string variables for numbers and dates and arrays and other types. 99.99% of the time this will be just plain wrong. And at this stage, it is more than safe to ignore the 0.01% exception to this rule.
Use the correct data types. That simple.

SSRS 2012 SP2, Native / Report Manager, non-IE browsers show date parameters in US format MM/DD/YYYY, ignoring locale settings

I have a server running SSRS 2012 SP2, in Native / Report Manager mode. The server, reports, desktop etc are all set to en-AU.
Using IE, date parameters show as expected in DD/MM/YYYY format. However using Chrome or Firefox, they show in US format MM/DD/YYYY.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Jiri,
Thanks for that speedy tip - that has solved it for Chrome.
I followed a similar path to get it fixed for Firefox - Settings / Content / Languages / add English/Australia [en-au] / Move Up to top spot.

How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.

How to format data for a custom group

Hi all
I have a pivot table with Actual and Budget as columns and some accounts in the rows. Since I'm using the account hierarchical column, I created custom groups for the accounts using the Selection steps pane. For example, I created a new group called Profit to combine 3 different Profit accounts and display one Profit line.
Now I want to format the data for the Profit group. I right-click on the Profit group, choose to edit the group and click on the Format button on the bottom left corner. I add some formatting, e.g. borders. When I now view the pivot table, borders have been applied to the label of the group - so the word Profit is now bordered. However, the values in the Actual and Budget columns do not have a border. Don't know what I'm missing, but I want both the group label and the values to be formatted the same way.
How can I apply formatting to the data/values for the custom group?

Yeah tried that already, it formats the entire column whereas I need just the values for the Profit row to be formatted. Seems it is a limitation only when using custom groups?

here is the code for changing the formatting the date.

Hi All,

2. Based on the above Formated Date i have to find out the Name of the Month like JANUARY, FEBUARY etc.
3. Based on the same above Formated Date i need to find out the Quarter like 1, 2 etc.
Could you please let me know if any function modules are there for the above questions in BW not in ABAP, why i mention is some Function modules are there in ABAP but not in BW.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
1.If your input date format is MMDDYYYY then Use SDATE as conversion routine in trans strucutre to convert into YYYYMMDD.
2.By passing year as input parameter for the following FM you would get all the months with text.Using READ statement in routine you can get month name
MONTH_NAMES_GET
3.For Quarters you can use the following FM:
TSTR_PERIODS_QUARTERS
hope it helps...
