Formula Column - Strange behaviour

I have a formula defined like shown below:
function CF_qty_ordFormula_dir return Number is
begin
IF :ord_import_order_ind = 'Y' and (:sup_supplier BETWEEN 90000 and 99999) THEN
     --srw.message(100,:sup_supplier||'-'||:crj_order_qty);
     return(1);
     --return(:crj_order_qty);
else
     return(0);
end if;
end;A summary column/field (let us say X) refers to this formula and that field is in the group where all other totals are. In fact, I copied the existing fomula, and the summary fields to make the new ones. It displays the srw message, so I know that it is falling into the 'if' condition above. In this case, there are 15 suppliers who fall into the supplier range given above. So the total displayed should be 15. Strangely, however, the total does not show up in the report output. It just shows up blank. I tried increasing the field size in the paper layout etc...nothing else seems to matter. The output is always blank.
Does any one know what do to make the total show up?
Thanks,
Chiru

mama !
press f4 on the field and select CF_qty_ordFormula_dir in the source. Your problem will be solved.

Report S_ALR_87013542 strange behaviour

Hi All,
Report S_ALR_87013542 - Actual/Comm/Total/Plan in COAr crcy - is showing up cross signs in some of the columns.When the cross sign (like any other column value) is clicked the line item detail are sown correctly.
Has anybody encountered this kind of issue before ?
I googled and searched various forums but all in vain.
Please provide inputs to correct this strange behaviour of Report S_ALR_87013542. Thanks!
Regards
Dev

Hello Dev,
Did you execute report RKACOR04 for the affected object number and checked if this still happens ?

Strange behaviour - any ideas?

Strange behaviour began when i was unable to open a new page in photoshop.
The next day i was unable to print from word or photoshop or emails.
However i could print from freehand and excel!
I used disk 1 to verify and repair disk.
this did not solve the problem as then when i tried to open Safari the toolbar opened but no window.
I have reinstalled the operating system making an archive but this also has not had an effect.
Any ideas on what to do next or should I just reinstall the operating system over the old one?
many thanks 4 any help

Sarah, to help the knowlegable users here please advise which model G5 iMac you have & include this info in your system info preference by clicking on the "My Settings" link in the right hand column.-->
This way, you won't have to keep repeating yourself and the knowlegable users will be able to provide you with the correct trouble shooting information/solutions if the problem is your computer.
Also, it will be helpful if you will advise which version of Word, Photoshop you have, which email program & the type of printer you are using.
Thank you.

Strange behaviour on text insert into a HTML pane

Hi all,
I am trying to fix a problem on inserting a span tag into an existing html page (in an EDITABLE JEditorPane).
The behaviour:
Assuming the cells in a table (3 rows, 2 columns) are numbered from 1 to 6, with cell one being the top left most, cell 2 top right, cell 3 middle left, etc.
1. Inserting the text "" in cell 4 causes during any attempt to later type into cell 5 the characters to be appended instead into cell 4, directly after the close span tag.
2. The insertion in the first place behaves strange. If I have the caret positioned for cell 5 so that I can insert there
(via the function void javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit.insertHTML(HTML Document doc, int offset, String html, int popDepth, int pushDepth, Tag insertTag) )
even though the caret position is visible in cell 5, the insertion seems to take place in cell 4.
I can sort of compensate for this by adding 1 to the offset. However, then when inserting into a line of text, for example, "the quick red fox jumped over the lazy dog"
I insert directly before the 'j' in 'jumped', the insertion looks like this "the quick red fox j..umped over the lazy dog"
So that is no solution.
IMPORTANT! Just to prove it is not the span tag causing the trouble, if this span tag already exists in a cell on 'Load' of the html file, the strange behaviour is not observed.
Something is going wrong here. It is me? Or is it a bug?
Please help!!
Here is a test app, and the test html you can use (place in current directory).
Please test like this:
1. run application (the html should be loaded into the pane)
2. the span tag is programmed to automatically insert at cell 4 (by using the +1 method on the insert)
3. another span tag was already existing in the html file, at cell 8
4. Attempt to type into cell 5
result: the text appears instead at cell 4
5. Type into cell 9
result: the text correctly is entered into cell 9
See the difference!!

fix another stuffed up attempt at a SSCCE.

Well, I know nothing about HTML in JEditorPanes. I have never been able to figure out how insertions work.
My comment was a warning to others. Some people (like me) avoid answering posting of this type for reasons given in the JavaRanch link. Others will answer anyway. Other might first check the other site to see if they are wasting there time, but they can only do that if a link was posted with the original question.
The only suggestion I have is to repost the question, (since this posting is now completely off topic) making sure to then respond to this posting stating that a fresh question has been asked so you don't get a discussion going on in two places.

Function not callable in formula column..

Hi,
I am getting one strange problem..when i call one function in a sql statment in report builder 6i from a formula column, it gives error that this function can not be called from sql but when i run the same sql from plsql dev, it runs fine..Oracle version 9i..
Plz help..

Hi,
This is the code block used in the formula column..The formula cloumn datatype is character and size is 15..
function FML_INT_LABLEFormula return Char is
l_int_lable varchar2(15);
begin
select (DBK_C_ADVICES.DBF_C_RET_ADV_TEXT(:PRM_BRCH_CODE, NVL(:PRM_PROD_CODE,' '),'R01',1)||' Rate')into l_int_lable from dual ;

Strange behaviour in web cartographic application

Hi group,
I have noticed a strange behaviour with the overview tool of my web application with MapInfo data uploaded in Oracle 10g with EasyLoader. When I put the cursor near the limit of some polygons but outside of its surface, the overview tool shows the info of this polygon when it should show the info of the neighbor polygon. It's like if the boundary of the polygon is outside of its limit but visually the borders are looking good.
After many tests, I think the problem may be related with the tolerance precision and the table bounds in sdo_metadata. The table is in lat/long (8307) and the tolerance setted by Easyloader is X: 7.9013E-6 and Y:1.01201E-5
In MapInfo I gave this bounds to the table: min x: -82.0483359 min y: 43.2322719 max x: -54.6521931 max y: 64.3415211 but when loaded in Oracle the bounds are automatically set to -180/180 and -90/90
I tried to change the tolerance and the bounds in Oracle and create a new spatial index without success. Changing the bounds in MapInfo prior uploading to Oracle was unsuccessfull as well.
Anything else could be tryed?
Thank you
Maxime D.

Maxime,
Didn't you contact me privately about something like this? No matter.
the tolerance setted by Easyloader is X: 7.9013E-6 and Y:1.01201E-5These tolerances are not what Oracle says should be set for geodetic (8307) data. From the documentation...
The tolerance value for geodetic data should not be smaller than 0.05 (5 centimeters)You can do one of two things:
1. If you have SQL Developer, install GeoRaptor and then right mouse click on the table in the connect pane and select Metadata Manager. Then calculate XY values and if GeoRaptor doesn't set the tolerances to 0.05 do it manually. Then press Update.
2. Using SQLPlus or SQL Developer's SQL Worksheet, do this:
update user_sdo_geom_metadata
set diminfo = SDO_DIM_ARRAY(SDO_DIM_ELEMENT(-82.0483359,-54.6521931,0.05),
SDO_DIM_ELEMENT(43.2322719,64.3415211,0.05)),
SRID = 8307
where table_name = YOUR TABLE
and column_name = YOUR SDO_GEOMETRY COLUMN NAME;
commit;NOTE: It is OK to have ordinate ranges different from -180..180, -90..90.
Drop your index and rebuild.
Should now be OK.
If it starts to misbehave again (and the metadata has been changed) then all one could say is that perhaps the MapInfo software is modifying the metadata some how. Perhaps this is related to the MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG?
Any MapInfo gurus know?
regards
Simon

KYF exhibits strange behaviour with decimals

Hi everybody,
a DEC-key figure (IOBJ maintenance: additional properties->BEx->decimal places: Nothing Defined) exhibits strange behaviour regarding the treatment of decimals.
When looking at the data in the cube (InfoCube maintenance->content) the value is 2,086.
In the query the result is 2.0900000000 (%).
Now comes the problem: in BPS (in the buffer) the value is 2,08. The system simply truncates the figure! This is the value which is also used in the FOX and produces the wrong result.
I need the system to sensibly round the values correctly to 2 decimals OR work with an additional decimal place. How can this be done?
Thanks for any input,
Martin

Hi,
In the manual planning, while designing the layout, there is a setting in data columns tab called decimals. You have to insert 2 under this. Then in the layout data will be displayed with 2 decimal places.
Hope this helps.

Isha

Discoverer Formula Column

Hi
Hoping you can help with a formula column I need to create.
The situation is this:
It's for a HR head count report which is split by Employment category.
The issue is for multiple assignments, where in this report - I only want to count each person once, but not necessarily their Primary Assignment.
If we assume we have 3 employees, one of which has 2 assignments in different Employment Categories - each assignment has a head count of 1:
Employee A - Assignmnent AA - Employment Category A
Employee B - Assignment BB - Employment Category B
Employee C - Assignment CC - Employment Category A
Employee C - Assignment CD - Employment Category B.
As normal, the summed report of headcount would show
Employment Category A - 2
Employment Category B - 2
However, the way I need it to work is that the report will prioritise each employment category so that if an employee already has a record in Employment Category A, it won't count the record in Employment Category B. If the employee only has a record in Employment Category B, it will show though.
So the result I want is:
Employment Category A - 2
Employment Category B - 1
Is there a way for a formula to work out this priority and so only sum for Employment Category B where there doesn't exist an Employment Category A record for the same employee?
I hope I have explained this ok.
Many thanks
Martin

Hi
Thanks for that - I now have it working.
I am however having issues with Totals.
They are fine in Discoverer Plus but I need to run this report in Desktop.
In Desktop, I have totals for rows and totals for columns for both HeadCount and FTE.
Initially, none were showing.
After changing the aggregation option from 'Default aggregation behaviour' to 'Show the sum of the values', I now get everything except the grand total for HeadCount.
Example below
______________Head Count____________________________FTE
________Asg Cat 1______Asg Cat 2____Total______Asg Cat 1____Asg Cat 2______Total
Org1________2____________3__________5__________2____________3___________5
Org2________1____________2__________3__________1____________2___________3
Total________3____________5_____________________3____________5___________8
As you can see, I'm getting every total except the total of '8' for HeadCount but I am getting it for FTE.
I know this is often due to folder joins, but FTE and HeadCount are coming from the same folder, yet FTE is working and HeadCount isn't.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Martin

One to many mapping - strange behaviour

I noticed a strange behaviour which happens when working with 1 to n
relationships. Maybe the behaviour is intended by the JDO specification or
maybe I haven't set the proper kodo properties to make it work.
Here's the problem:
I have the following two classes wich I map to a database table each (using
datastore identity):
class Person
private String name;
private Collection cars;
// setters and getters
class Car
private String model;
private Person owner;
// setters and getters
When I have a persistent car object and I assign it to a persistent person
like this:
car.setOwner(person);
and I immediately retrieve all cars of the person by calling:
Collection c = person.getCars()
the car ist not in the collection as I would expect it to be. In my opinion
JDO should make sure the car is added to the collection.
Even after I commit the whole transaction the car is still not in the
collection.
To make the car appear in the collection I have to create a new
PersistentManager (when using javax.jdo.option.Optimistic=true) and refetch
the person object again.
Can anyone enlighten me on this problem?
Thank you!

Donat,
This is a bit of a philosophical question. One of the goals of JDO is to
be as closely aligned to the Java language as possible, and Java has no
concept of a shared relation. So, we do not perform any work to ensure
that relations get 'magically' set on both sides. Instead, you must set
both sides of the business relation yourself in Java code.
The result of this is that code that you write will behave the same
regardless of whether or not the objects are persistent. So, you can write
test cases or non-persistent parts of your application and trust that the
code will behave the same in both instances.

APEX Listener and EPG - strange behaviour

Hi
For some years, I've used EPG for APEX but have struggled with performance particularly as I can have up to 150 student developers using at any one time.
I do a fair amount of work using ORDImage and have successfully developed APEX applications to upload image files and display full-size and thumbnail images.
After upgrading to APEX 4.1 (from 4.0), I decided to install APEX Listener standalone.
Before I did so I checked that my applications still worked in 4.1 and they did.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.
Configuring APEX Listener and running the same application through that DOES display the images.
So this part of the application works under APEX Listener but not under EPG.
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed upload. Under EPG it works as expected and I get a success confirmation.
So this part of the application works under EPG but not under APEX Listener.
Has anyone else come across different behaviour depending on the mode of connection?
Thanks
Brian
[Oracle EE 11gR2, Windows Server 2008R2, APEX 4.1, APEX Listener 1.1.3]

Hi Brian,
it sounds like you have both EPG and APEX Listener running on the same machine, so your problem might result from a port conflict. Note that both services use TCP port 8080 as default.
At least a port conflict would explain the strange behaviour in your case, some things working on one web server and some on the other.
Some parts of your initial post hint to that direction, e.g.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on >wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.... because the APEX Listener only interfere with the EPG if it is at least running on the same machine as your database and furthermore, if it is unconfigured in terms of ist database connection, a port conflict might be the only way it could cause anything like that.
However, if you are sure that's not the issue, please check if you see any error in the APEX Listener's log for the following action you performed:
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank >page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed uploadIf you actually see just a blank screen, something very bad must have happened and you should see some kind of stack trace there.
For further investigations, if necessary, it would be helpful to know how you deployed or started your APEX Listener and which JDK version you use.
For the moment, I still think the port conflict is my best guess.
You could avoid it by either changing the port for EPG (I'd not recommend that if you have other users still using it) or by changing the port for your APEX Listener.

Strange behaviour of Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command)

hello guys,
i wrote a program which executes some commands in commandline (actually tried multiple stuff.)
what did i try?
open "cmd.exe" manually (administrator)
type "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" and hit enter, which returns me
"AMD64"
type "java -version" and hit enter, which returns me:
"java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
type "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip"" returns me:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-zip
Path REG_SZ C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
i wrote two functions to execute an command
1) simply calls exec and reads errin and stdout from the process started:
public static String execute(String command) {
 String result = "";
 try {
 // Execute a command
 Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
 // Read from an input stream
 InputStream in = child.getInputStream();
 int c;
 while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
 result += ((char) c);
 in.close();
 in = child.getErrorStream();
 while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
 result += ((char) c);
 in.close();
 } catch (IOException e) {
 return result;
 }the second function allows me to send multiple commands to the cmd
public static String exec(String[] commands) {
 String line;
 String result = "";
 OutputStream stdin = null;
 InputStream stderr = null;
 InputStream stdout = null;
 // launch EXE and grab stdin/stdout and stderr
 try {
 Process process;
 process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe");
 stdin = process.getOutputStream();
 stderr = process.getErrorStream();
 stdout = process.getInputStream();
 // "write" the parms into stdin
 for (int i = 0; i < commands.length; i++) {
 line = commands[i] + "\n";
 stdin.write(line.getBytes());
 stdin.flush();
 stdin.close();
 // clean up if any output in stdout
 BufferedReader brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(
 new InputStreamReader(stdout));
 while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
 result += line + "\n";
 brCleanUp.close();
 // clean up if any output in stderr
 brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stderr));
 while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
 result += "ERR: " + line + "\n";
 brCleanUp.close();
 } catch (IOException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 return result;
 }so i try to execute the commands from above (yes, i am using \\ and \" in java)
(1) "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"
(2) "java -version"
(3) "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip""
the first function returns me (note that ALL results are different from the stuff above!):
(1) "" <-- empty ?!
(2) java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
(3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
the second function returns me:
(1) x86 <-- huh? i have AMD64
(2) java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
(3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
horray! in this version the java version is correct! processor architecture is not empty but totally incorrect and the reg query is still err.
any help is wellcome
note: i only put stuff here, which returns me strange behaviour, most things are working correct with my functions (using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); code)
note2: "reg query "HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0" /t REG_SZ" IS working, so why are "some" queries result in ERR, while they are working if typed by hand in cmd.exe?

ok, i exported a jar file and execute it from cmd:
java -jar myjar.jar
now the output is:
(1) "" if called by version 1, possible to retrieve by version 2 (no clue why!)
(2) "java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
(3) C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
so all three problems are gone! (but its a hard way, as i need both functions and parse a lot of text... :/ )
thanks for the tip, that eclipse changes variables (i really did not knew this one...)

How to make an order on repeating frame using Formula Column?

Hi All,
I have a repeating frame dependent on some query, how to make an order on this repeating frame using a formula column defined in its group and dependet on values from the query?
Note: I'm using Reports 6i

Place your formula column at the top of the itm group and set the BREAK_ORDER to assc.. or desc...
Hope this helps

if problem solved, close the thread.

Formula Columns are not working in Reports 10g

Hi,
We converted the reports developed in Reports 6i to Reports 10g. When we run the report in Reports 10g Builder everything works fine. But when we deploy the same report in Oracle Application Server and invoking the report the formula columns are not working ie., the fields/ placeholder columns which are based on the formula column are not displaying any values in the report.
Please, someone help us in this regard.
Thanks & Rgds,
M T

What version of Reports do you use..???
Greetings...

View Master mode strange behaviour with jpg files

Hy all,
I'm using Aperture, and I'm tweakin a lot the SW to discover all secrets ....
I'm really concerned about a strange behaviour of the SW in view mode.
If I open a jpg file, do not apply ANY modification, and apply the "show master" command (pressing M), there's a subtle behaviour :
*the images get sharper !!!!*
It behaves as if an "edge sharpening" was applied !!!!!!
With _RAW files this thing doesn't happen at all._
Even stranger, if I zoom to full definition (by pressing Z), and toggle between normal view and "show master" view, the immage remains the same !
The effect is not so evident with all images, but sometimes it is !!
Anyway, I expect not to have such kind of things with a professional SW.
With professional cameras and good quality files it's really annoying not to beeing sure what's the REAL content of the jpg image.
Has anyone noted this thing ? Is there a reasonable explanation ?
The only one I tried to figure out is the following : may be Aperture applies some kind of resampling algorithm with jpg files (bicubic, bilinear, etc).
May be this resampling is not applied with 100% magnification, as weel as with raw files.
But it's only my guessing. Now, I'm tweaking other viewers and other SW to understand what's the real jpg image stored in the file : the blurer one form normal view or the sharper one with "show master" mode.
I stress once again : of course, the jpg file I'm talking about have no settings at all, just imported and toggled with M button.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Enzo

Hy,
I'm afraid I'm not been clear.
The problem is this :
1) jpg image opened in normal view mode, no zoom, (no quick preview, of course) : image with a certain amount of blour
2) jpg image opened in show master mode, no zoom, (no quick previre, of course) : image SHARPER with respect with the previous.
No edit applied from import, so "show master" command shouln't apply any change in rendering, should it ?
The only thing I said on 100% view is that such difference (between normal mode e show mastermode) is not present with 100% magnification.
That was the issue.
