Free-Form search in DataManager

Hi,
What is meant by progressive operator and sounds like operator in freeform search in the datamanager
Thanks and Regards,
Preethi

Hi Preethi,
using the operator sounds like and searching for Meier you will find both Meier and Meyer.
If you are using the progressive operator, you enable searching based on word stems. Example: Search for good and you will find all the three: good, better and best.
Kind regards,
Andreas

Free form search problem

Hello Experts,
There is a qualifier table in which 'Due Date' is one of the field (of data type Date).
Now, In Data Manager when I try the free form search by entering date in the 'Due Date' field as the filter, it does not show up any records, although there are many records with such date (12/29/2012).
What is going wrong ? Can someone please help ?
Thank you

Hi,
Where are you searching these records for this Due Date..?
You will find records corresponding to this date, Please select Main table as you current table in MDM data Manager. In Free-form search you will find this field and there you need to select this 12/31/9999 from calendar. Once you set this you would able to see filter records with this criteria.
Kindly revert with result.

Drilldown Searches and Free-Form Searches

Hi All
can you please let me know concept of Drilldown Searches and Free-Form Searches ?
I read documentation in help portal.
Can you kindly focus more light on these concepts with some example
Thanks in advance
Mugdha Kulkarni

Hi Mugdha,
MDM provides two types of searches:
Drilldown Search:
With drilldown search, you can make selections from each search tab, where each tab corresponds to a lookup field in the table
You can also make selections for each of the attributes linked to the selected category, and each of the qualifiers of a qualified table record.
Freeform Search:
With free-form search, you can perform searches on any field that does not lookup its values from a sub table.
Free-form search also allows you to do fuzzy searches with a variety of search operators
It accepts typed values for one or more fields (like a traditional DBMS query form) and a keyword search that can match keywords in any or all of the fields in a table.
At each step along the way, the system narrows down the choice of values for each search dimension to show only those that are valid given the current result set based on the previous search selections.
The result is an extremely flexible and powerful search capability, delivered through an exceptionally smooth and intuitive process.
Hope this clears your doubts.

Rashmi Jadhav

Interesting problem:Free Form Searches

Dear Experts,
After upgrading to MDM 5.5 SP1 , i find that i can't do free-form searches on a few fields in a given table .For instance , i have a 'PRODUCTS' table which has fields like 'DESCRIPTION' , 'MANUFACTURER' , 'CATEGORY' , 'PART NUMBER' etc. I find that while using Data manager / JAVA API i get results only when the search field is 'MANUFACTURER' or 'PART NUMBER' whereas for the other two viz.DESCRIPTION' and CATEGORY i don't get any results.
Will appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Karambir Singh.

Make sure that the api jar file version matches the MDM Server version.
Remove the old MDM4J jar from the class path.
Add the new MDM4J jar, which matches with the MDM Server version to the Java Build Path.
You can download the new jar from Service Market Place.
Hope this helps.

Select text based on format (free form style text)

As suggested by Apple, I'm trying to create my first ePub using Pages as opposed to inDesign.
I only have a PDF as a source file and don't want to re-type all the text.
When I copy the text from the PDF and paste to Pages, the text comes in with the 'free form' style applied no matter what options I select during copy and paste.
In order to produce an ePub, I need to set styles for the text. This is quite tedious.
Is there any way to select text based on the way it is formatted when styles are not applied to the text?

Here is a script which may be useful if your problem surface again.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT words_attributes_to_Style]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : words_attributes_to_Style.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Ouvrir un document Pages contenant des mots soulignés
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “words_attributes_to_Style”
Le script appliquera :
le style "Souligné" aux mots soulignés
le style "Accentuation" aux mots en gras
le style "Italic" (si vous l'avez créé) aux mots en italique.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: words_attributes_to_Style.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a Pages document embedding underlined words
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “words_attributes_to_Style”
The script will apply :
the named style "Underlined" to the underlined words
the named style "Emphasis" to bolded words
the named style "Italic" (assuming that you defined it) to italicized words.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

AVG Free Safe Search

I am a big fan of Firefox and have used it for many years.
I use my computer as a tool for both business and pleasure and as such I prefer not to be continually on a test drive. Reliable operation and continuous availability are important. I do recognise however the need to stay on top of threats and that some time needs to be spent on maintenance.
We seem to have gone from Firefox 6 to Firefox 13 in a matter of a couple of years and everytime there is an update AVG Free Safe Search becomes incompatible and I am left with the dilemma of whether to update or not. If I update Firefox I am left without the warm feeling of knowing that the web sites I am visiting have had some form of checking for malpractices. If I don't update Firefox I am faced with dire warnings of impending catastrophe.
I know Firefox is run by the good will of a large number of people but I can't help thinking that a small amount management supervision and good will from AVG ought to be able to ensure that a working addon is available at the time of the firefox update. This small step would do much to keep the users who simply need a working system and who are not geeks happy.
Keep up the good work

Thanks Andy - very helpful.
I have now fully updated Win XP and checked the operation of IE8 with Safe Search. It works fine.
Not the world's greatest browser but a seemingly fully functional tool.
Dare I say it if Microsoft can do it why not Firefox. I'm going to check Chrome as well. Mozilla has taken a fully loyal user and made me look at alternatives when it seems to me completely unnecessary..

How do I set the default Hero image in a Muse slideshow widget when using Free Form Thumbnails?

Hello,
I am trying to find out how to set the default Hero image when using a Muse slideshow widget and in the Layout section I have the "Free Form Thumbnails"
box checked.
In other words, when the page loads I want to define which image displays as the first Hero image.
If I do not select the "Free Form Thumbnails" option, the top left Thumbnail image always displays first. This is fine.
But when I select the Free Form Thumbnails" checkbox I don't know how to define which image shows first as the Hero image.
I have a short video at this link where I illustrate the question:
http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.mp4
I have added a WMV video file at the link below:
http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.wmv
Okay… I think I've worked out how to do it!
[1] First have the "Free Form Thumbnails" box UNCHECKED.
[2] Organize the Thumbnails and place the image that you want to be the first Hero image when the page loads in the top left corner of the Thumbnails group.
[3] When you "Preview Site In Browser" the Thumbnail image in the top left corner will always display as the first Hero image.
[4] If you want "Free Form Thumbnails" go ahead now and SELECT that checkbox.
[5] Whichever image was in the top left of the Thumbnail group before you checked "Free Form Thumbnails" will still show up as the first Hero image when the page loads, regardless of where that thumbnail image is located within the Thumbnail images group.
Thanks very much.
Chris.

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

Event Handling for free programmed search help bond dynamically in SO

Dear Expert,
I met a problem of how to handle an event raised by a free programmed search help - (F4), and this F4 is invoked
by a field defined in a Selection Option component (WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS) - SO.
The scenario is that I would like to update the SO after the user multiple select some entries in the F4. I could tranfer
back all the value chosen in the F4 to the consumer SO, but I can not update the icon in the SO(e.g in SO, multiple values will be
displayed with a green arrow icon), because I could not define a handler in SAP standard component SO, and it looks like there is no chance to catch the event triggered at the end of selection in F4. (this event belonged to this F4)
Welcome any suggestions or ideas, Thanks very very much.
In Addition, I use this way to enable the F4 for SO
lo_so_component->create_cmp_usage_group(
name = 'F4_TRANSPORT'
used_component = 'ZTRANSPORT').

thanks all

Difference between Circular, Rectangular and Free form Antenna??

Hi All,
What is the difference between a Circular, Rectangular and a Free form field Antenna other than the physical appearance?
Thanks,
Shridhar..

Hi Shridhar,
RFID Antennas
RFID antennas are always connected to an interrogator. This allows for the transmission of signals to and from the tag.
Antenna Design
Depending on the design, antennas can be either mono-static or bi-static:
Mono-static antennas are based on a principle by which a single antenna transmits a signal coming from the interrogator to the area as well as receives a signal coming from tags and these functions are switched in fractions of seconds. This requires use of a circulator in a reader that multiplexes the receive and transmit signals through a single port. There is some loss and phase distortion due to the use of a circulator.
Bi-static antennas include two antennas, where one antenna is dedicated to transmitting, and the other antenna is dedicated to receiving. Both dedicated antennas can be but do not have to be in the same casing. In bi-static antenna, a circulator is not required, which improves the performance and sensitivity of the antenna.
Antenna Polarity
Antenna polarity is very important because it affects the quality of communication between the interrogator and tag.
The interrogator's antenna and the tag's antenna should have the same polarization. If polarization is not realized, a severe loss in signal, along with a drastic decrease in a read range, which results in unsuccessful communication with a tag, can be experienced.
Polarization can be either circular or linear.
Linear polarization is relative to the surface of the earth.
Linear polarization can also be either horizontal or vertical:
Horizontally polarized signals propagate parallel to the earth.
Vertically polarized signals propagate perpendicular to the earth.
Antennas with circular polarization can receive signals from both the vertical and horizontal planes by injecting the signal at two points on the antenna radiated slightly out of phase creating a rotating effect on the field. However, there is a slight loss of signal strength, due to the constructive and deconstructive effect of the field being slightly out of phase.
Refer this link to get the other details regarding the Antenna Design

How to free-form transform/distort image?

Hello, everyone!
I need to fit my photo on a video of a hand-held piece of paper that is a little distorted by holding in fingers and moving.
I tracked it using planar tracker (Mocha Pro) and exported into Motion, so now I have 4-corner pinned rectangle in different layer, matching movement of 4 corners of this paper piece for all length of clip.
BUT, as paper is not just 4 cornered (but has some push distortion, imagine you hold a soft piece of paper in hand), just matching movement of this rectangle won't help, I think I need to free-form distort some parts of my photo to perfectly fit in my final render.
Is it possible to do such a simple thing? I surfed all internet, but didn't find an answer (everywhere is a TV Screen, or plain sheet of paper replacement that have just 4 corners with no distortion). All i found is just a CHV Deform FX plugin, but it costs some money, and I don't believe Motion doesn't have this function itself. Or there's another way of solving a problem?
If you don't understand what i mean, just let me know, I'll upload a video or photos to show it.
Thanks everyone who will help me, I'm f*ing about 3 days about this and even can't sleep thinking of solution...

hi,
motion can't do this kind of mesh deformation on its own. I believe the chv plugin does have this kind of thing, but I don't know how useful it is. The only solutions I can think of are hopelessly time consuming and wouldnt look convincing.

I am unable to clear "Form & Search History" because that option is not available. How do I unclick it?

When I close Firefox, I clear everything except the "Form & Search History" which is greyed-out so I can't access it. Also, the options I can choose are not saved by Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Filling of S table fails for fields with free form text or description

Hello Everyone,
We are trying to rollup a new InfoCube into our BWA system and it fails with a short dump CONVT_CODEPAGE with exception being CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE when filling up S table for a description field.
The only difference between the new InfoCube we are trying to load and the other existing InfoCubes is that, the new InfoCube we are trying to load has a field/InfoObject which is free form description for a line item field.
Also, when I checked the application log the system gives out the message "A Character Set conversion is not possible".
Did anyone encounter this issue when trying to create BWA indexes for InfoCubes which have text columns in the InfoCube.
We are currently at revision 52.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dharma,
It's an interesting and new BWA case for me, so sorry no direct answer. I'll try to replicate it in free time I hope you opened a message with SAP Support for this.
From pure BW modeling perspective I normally model this in a way that this "description" Characteristic A is marked as "Attribute-only" and then used as a display attribute of another Characteristic B, e.g. Line Item Number. From BWA perspective it means that A is not indexed into the accelerator and joined only for display during OLAP time.

Firefox 8.1 downloaded today. Clearing everything, the Form & Search History will NOT clear. In 8.0 it did. Why now with 8.1?

Same question which I've already posed. IF I can be supplied with a working email addy - I'd be happy to include some screen shots illustrating exactly what it is I'm asking here... Please send me an email addy to continue. Thanks.
I mechanically clear EVERYTHING often when browsing. What I'm getting live arrows on for a Clear are:
Browing & Download History
Form & Search History (this is the ONE NOT working, no hot arrow)
Next is Cookies
then Cache
Then Active Logins
Then finishes up with Site Preferences.
IT IS THE FORM 7 SEARCH HISTORY which won't clear using new Firefox 8.1 where in 8.0 it did. Thanks.
-CarbonBridge

You can attach images to posts (and replies) here. There's a box to upload them.
There was only one mac-affecting change made in 8.0.1 which involved preventing a crash in the latest Java plugin. No other changes were taken. If you don't have the option to clear Form & Search History, this may be because you don't have any? Another possibility is that you have an extension that's preventing it. Can you go to Help > Troubleshooting information and paste here the extensions section?

Is there a time limit for how long a free form can be used/accessed?

Is there a time limit for how long a free form that is created can be used/accessed, or is it soely dependent upon when the 50 respondent max has been reached? I am creating a form now, that will likely be distributed in early January, and I want it to be accessible through the end of June, 2013. (I am simply using the option to create a single form for free- not the 30-day trial).

There is no time limit. The limit is the 50 responses.
