Format Value in BO Explorer (Polestar)

Hi, i'm currently have BO Explorer 3.2 SP2, does anyone knows how to format a value (Dimension or ratio) in a space?

Hi,
All these kind of formats should be done in the source side itself.
For example, if you are using "BO Universe" as the source then you can do these formatting in the universe itself. Or if you are using SAP BI Accelerator indexes as source then this formatting can be done in the source of the Indexes (BW Infocube).
Hope this helps helps in solving your issue.

How to get formated value from query

i get value from query use the follow method
Object obj1 = dataAccess.getValue(i,j,DataMap.DATA_UNFORMATTED);
Object obj1 = dataAccess.getValue(i,j,DataMap.DATA_FORMATTED);
the first method retrun a value '1666.0',
the second method return a value null
but i want to get the value '1,666'.
who can tell me how can get the formated value?

Ahu,
An implementation of DataAccess is not required to support all DataMap constants. For example, the OLAP-based Query object does not support DataMap.DATA_FORMATTED. To find out which DataMaps are supported for a particular implementation, you can call the DataDirector's getSupportedDataMap method.
If you have an Crosstab instance, there is a way to get the formatted cell value, based upon the formatting rules associated with the Crosstab. Get the GridViewFormatManager reference from the Crosstab, and call its formatDataValue method to return a String representation of the formatted data value.
Hope this helps,

Crystal Report Key figure formatted value

Hi,
I have restricted key figures defined in my BEx query based on a 'Quantity' type key-figure. I have maintained a display setting for these RKFs restricting to just one decimal place (10.0). Now I am trying to make use of this format setting in my Crystal report built on top of the BEx query by dragging in the 'Key Figure formatted value' node into my report. Although crystal report gives me the formatted value of one decimal place (10.0), it also attaches a Unit symbol next to the value (10.0 KWH)
How do I suppress the Unit of Measure for the measure in my report?
Thanks
SR

HI SR,
If you are not doing any calculatins with this field, then use the following :
Left('10.00',(instr('10.00','.')+1))
Note : replace '10.00' with your field.
Thanks,

How to STOP and START the BO EXPLORER/POLESTAR - LINUX

Dear friends,
Could you please let me know on How to STOP and START the BO EXPLORER/POLESTAR on LINUX platform?
Thank you,
Nikee

Oracle Apex is an API, if that helps you understand / visualize. You do not start Apex process nor stop it.
When an Apex session starts it starts calling the API.
You can however start / stop the listener. It may be OHS, ApexListener and the J2EE container running it, OC4J or any other "server" that you are using.
The built-in EPG is something like an API again, you cannot start / stop it but you can disable/enable it with DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT API.

Explorer/Polestar Supoprt Pack Query

Hi,
I am breaking this out from a different thread I created for clarity and because I am still not clear on the answer.
Basically I am trying to work out whether Polestar SP3 is available and if not is it safe/recommended/supported to install SP3 for Edge XI 3.1 and SAP Integration Kit, but SP2 for Polestar, i.e. different support pack levels? Apologies if I can find this information in the documentation, but I've so far been unable to.
In addtion: I only see these SPs for Explorer/Polestar (using two different S user IDs) to download from SMP:

Difficulty with Format Value for Time Format

I have a vi where the current time is split out of an Analog waveform (using Get Waveform Components), and subtracted from a starting time, to result in a relative time since the test began. This may not be the most elegant way of doing it, but it works great. The problem is that when I try to convert the elapsed time in seconds back to a time format for saving to a spreadsheet, I get the results shown by the probes. In case the screen capture is not clear enough, the format string is %<%H:%M:%S>t. A colleague has tried this format and it works great. He's running 8.2, and I'm running 7.1. Other than that, our applications appear identical. Any ideas?

I'm also on 8.2 and it works fine for me. Maybe format value couldn't handle time format codes in 7.1. I'm not really sure and I don't have it installed to check. Why don't you use "Format into String" instead? It will work the same way, and should work fine with 7.1.

Explorer/Polestar: Need to re-index every time new data was loaded?

I have a question concerning the indexing functionality of BO Explorer/Polestar. It's clear that I need to re-index my infospace everytime the structure of the infospace has changed (e.g. I added a new object from my universe). What I'm not sure about is whether I also need to re-index my infospace as soon as new data was loaded in the warehouse which is supposed to be a part of my infospace. Example: I crate an infospace consisting of countries (UK, USA, Germany and Japan) and revenue. I index this infospace. The next day a new country (France) is loaded in the dwh. Do I need to re-index the infospace so that users can see "France" in BO Explorer?
Thanks for your help!
Agnes

Hi Agnes,
according to the Explorer documentation new data are available AFTER reindexing.
Indexing refreshes the data and metadata in Information Spaces. After
indexing, any new data on the corporate data providers upon which those
Information Spaces are based becomes available for search and exploration.

Explorer (Polestar) Indexing status of univers

Hi guys
I have a question I hope you guys can help me with.
One of our BOBJ consultants have asked me if there is a way to monitor the Indexing status of the universes in Explorer (Polestar)
I'm not too familiar with the process flow or monitoring of this product. I have tried to find some information on the subject with no luck.
As he explains the indexing routine, the data is dropped from the univers and then replaced/imported again from the BW client. In the indexing/univers overview he showed me where he can see if the last indexing ran successfully or not.
Is there any way to trigger an alarm via CCMS, mail or in some outher way catch if a index run fails?
Br
Jesper Toft Christensen

Not currently, I looked via QueryBuilder to see if there was something you could look at but Explorer infospaces don't keep any instances so there was nothign there. I think it might be added in the future as Explorer/Polestar is relatively new I think they concentrate on rounding out the product before adding things like monitoring.

Number to fraction string +format value

Hi there,
I just met a stupid question which made me crazy, please help.
The question is simple:
Target: Numeric floating control-> number to fraction string -> format value -> desirable string format
For example: 20.00 -> 20.00000 (Q1: why extra 0s?)-> "20.00"
I use the following program:
why doesn't it work, please?
Thanks!

Hi TriStones,
"Why it doesn't work?"
Because you haven't read the context help for "Number to fractional string"! Especially the sentences on those two additional inputs of that function (Q1)...
I would suggest using FormatIntoString like that:
(I tried to replicate your example, but your wiring is very bad: it's not clear which wire is connected to which input...)

How Formatted values are calculated in WMI

Hi,
i am working on finding system resource information using WMI queries.
i want to know how the Performance values are calculated, for example as follows
find PagesInputPerSec from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory.
i tried to retrieve PagesInputPerSec, running on command line as "wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory get PagesInputPerSec".
most of the times i am getting 0(zero) as result.
i would like to know how formatted values are calculated(formula to find) ?
P.S:
Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Memory giving some value than zero e.g. 31908034
Thanks,
KMR

How to make IR use formated values in

Hi all,
I am trying to format some values in my Interactive Report, expecting they will appear as column filter value as well. For instance:
In my sql I have:
, case when ACTIVE_FLAG= 'Y'
then 'Active'
else 'Inactive '
end Active_flag
The column is set to standard report column in the report definition, otherwise I just see the code above.
When the IR runs and I try filtering by the Active_flag column I see no "Actives" or "Inactives" even though I have both in the sql output. This happens both by pressing the column or by going to Actions->filter / Expression
Is there any way you can imagine to bypass this? It also happens with images in which case it'll be great to see the image as column filter.
Thanks in advance for your help.
regards,
JP

Just for the record, I just noticed the sql code portion I intended to copy/paste was incorrect and is actually
, case when ACTIVE_FLAG= 'Y'
then 'Active'
else 'Inactive'
end Active_flag However I understand the answer is "no, you cannot see Inactive and Active as values in the column select list"

How can I decode that MIME format value from cookie?

Hello:
I have a cookie that data was encode by MIME format.
It's like this "N2eauTdoJ1lwcm9mc3B3MkB3ZWJmYXJtLmRlYXJib3JuLmZvcmQuY29tAGJiYXJlbAAxOS40NC41Ni4zNgB="
So, please tell me how to decode these value?
Thousand thanks for your help.
Very appreciate it.

Your cookie is formatted with Base64, it seems.
I ran the program (below) which uses Base64 decoding and got the following result (from the string you posted):
7g�╣7h'[email protected] bbarel 19.44.56.36
First get a free Base64 utility here (or if you already have another Base64 decoder)
http://ostermiller.org/utils/#download
Then use code like:
import com.Ostermiller.util.*;
public class Test {
     public static void main(String[] arg) {
          String encCookie = "N2eauTdoJ1lwcm9mc3B3MkB3ZWJmYXJtLmRlYXJib3JuLmZvcmQuY29tAGJiYXJlbAAxOS40NC41Ni4zNgB=";
          String cookie = Base64.decode(encCookie);
          System.out.println(cookie);
}

BOBJ Explorer (Polestar) Personalization gives PS_50304

Hello, Your help or comments are appreciated on this issue:
BOE: XI3.1 SP2 FP2.3
Sap Integration kit: XI3.1 SP2 FP2.3
BOBJ Explorer: XI3.2 (Polestar 12.0?)
We have an existing 'primary' Information Space, and have been able to 'explore' - fabulous product!
Attempting to restrict data access, by using Personalization:
1. Created a 'lookup' Information Space (from xls file - two fields - User_id and Sales Org) - and index it.
2. Update 'primary' information space, adding personalization using the 'lookup' information space; match User_id to User, and add Sales Org Key to Sales Org as 'ref'.
3. Re-index 'primary' information space (gets data from BW)
4. Close all IE sessions, and re-logon to BOBJ Explorer (same 'admin' - SAP/BW - user, with entries in the 'lookup' Info Space)
5. Explore 'primary' information space.
6. Error dialog PS 50006 with detail of PS_50304.
I can't find any references to PS_50304 anywhere in docs/forums/etc.
Has anyone got this 'personalization' to work ok - preferably with primary data from BW, and personalization from xls file?
Regards,
Martin.

I see that there have been no responses to this but I am hoping that there is someone out there who can help. I am having a similar issue with trying to Personalize an Explorer Infospace in BOE X3.1 SP3.
We have created an Infospace from Excel spreadsheet containing 2 columns User, Business Unit. Then in our Primary Infospace indicated this as the Reference. when we try to open the Primary Infospace we get PS 50006 error with PS 50306 missing technical index error.
we have followed the instructions on how to set this up but appear to have missed a step somehow.
can anyone help?
Thanks, Faith
