Free hand text

Where is the free hand text of a PO stored.
Any table to check this.

Hi SV,
Goto the transaction for PO creation, click on the long text button.
Follow the menu path <b>Goto->Header</b>
Here, you'll get all the informations pertaining to the language, text ID and text object. Also check how the text name is constructed.
Provide these as inputs to your function module and you'll get back the long text.

Can we create LOV using free hand sql with out hardcoding

Hi gurus,
Dear All,
For some of the reporst we don't have universe, so we use to get the report with the help of free hand sql,
but here I have to hardcode the list of values by using @prompt, but instead of hardcoding is there any ways to get the list of vaues by using @prompt, if then can any one help me out.

Yes and no.
When we use a LOV in a universe, the SQL is generated from the object definition. With Free Hand SQL (FHS) there is no universe. However...
If you create a very simple universe to host your LOV, and then reuse the same prompt text in your FHS then you can fake the LOV. This is not a great solution, but to be honest, FHS is never really a solution that I would consider. You might consider using Crystal to replace Deski in these cases.

WebI - free hand sql

Hi,
I am new to WebI. I am runiing BO Xi 3.1. Does anyone know how to create a Webi report using free hand sql?

Hi Efstratios -
I have to agree with the statement:
There is no direct support for free hand SQL in Web Intelligence.
If by "direct support" we're talking about an intuitive and manageable way to enter free-text SQL and "let Webi do the rest", then it's certainly not true. Currently, an end-user is required to endure several painstaking steps and cautions to align the SQL select of a freehand sql written in the Webi SQL pane with that's been dragged-and-dropped to the Result Objects pane in the Java Report Panel. Even after this process is finished and the user has a report, any change in # of result objects (columns) requires the user to once again re-create the SQL.
The current superior method to accomplish this is to use Desktop Intelligence, or create the derived table in a Universe as Dave mentioned.

Why has Apple not offered something like "Free Safe Text" as part of the iOS?

I just saw a story on TV about a new app called "Free Safe Text". I have been looking for something like that. It is not currently offered in The Apple App store. I have even asked our business insurance carrier for something like it. Apple obviously has become the leader in the smart phone market. I don't understand why they are not demonstrating a concern for safety by offering a similar app or by building it into their iOS. I believe that the insurance community, as well as the public should demand that this be done now. Distracted driving is killing thousands of everyone's friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Apple should act more responsibly in this area!

All I am saying is that the improper and unsafe use of smart phones has become a public safety issue. I don't believe that any law or our elected public officials will ever be successful in controlling this problem. I do not mean to imply that Apple is responsible for the irresponsible use of their devices. I do believe that Apple, as well as all other smart phone manufacturers, should work diligently, hand and arm with the insurance industry, to build hardware and software features into their devices to solve this problem. Ultimately, it will be the insurance community that will demand that the mobile phone industry build the necessary safety features into their products. As the industry leader, it would be nice to see Apple at the forefront of these efforts. I am a long term and loyal Apple product user. They have obviously been very successful. I want them to continue to be! Apple should lead the industry down the road to solving this problem long term. The responsible thing for us all to do is to encourage Apple, and the entire mobile phone industry to move quickly down this path to save as many lives as possible. If this includes disabling smart phones entirely while in a moving vehicle, so be it. The best solution would be to take vehicle control out of human hands. Unfortunately, technology is not far enough along to make that feasible.

Problem in prompt value assignment in free hand SQL full client report in BO 6.5

Post Author: simarora
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
I automated the generation of reports using the perl, XML and java servlet. A perl script is invoked by a batch file , URL of BCA scheduler and name of XML file are passed as parameters to perl script. This perl script invokes a java servlet which reads the parameters from XML and pass them to BCA. BCA generates the reports and save the external formats to a specified location.
Two of the reports that are free hand SQL reports fail to generate saying that prompt value assignment failed. Not, sure whether it is due to free hand SQL / shared conenction or something else. I have tried assigning date prompt values in different formats and even in the same format that is set in report SQLs, but it always fails.
NOTE: When generated through BO, these free hand SQL reports got generated successfully without any issues and other reports that are based on Universe get generated by this automation / API without any issues.
Log messages are as below. Please take a look and advise:

Hi David, this is a difficult taks to answer all these questions in a forum. I suggest if you have valid SAP support you log a case for each issue and BO support will assist.

Hi Ali,
There is a book "Creating dynamic forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer" by J.P. Terry and there are some books on Acrobat that have a chapter on Designer forms but there is not a lot out there and J.P. Terry's book is a good few versions behind.
I have learnt most from John Brinkmans blog, http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/
Nialls blog http://www.assuredynamics.com/
Radzmar blog http://thelivecycle.blogspot.com.au/
Stefan's blog http://forms.stefcameron.com/
and http://blogs.adobe.com/lcdesigner/
I'm sure there are others, and the JavaScript engine is the FireFox one, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
Maybe other people can add to the list

I have a question about free hand crop on PhotoshopCC

I have a pic that I want to take a specific shape from, but the colors are numerous and complex so the magic wand wont work. Is there a way to free hand crop or select only the odd shape with a drawing option?????? I want to snip just the loader machine from this pic and insert it in a collage. Can someone suggest a method for this? I am using Photoshop CC.
thanks, betdy1345

Hold down the mouse button over the magic wand tool in the tool bar for a few seconds, a small popup will appear, select the quick selection tool. You can use this to drag over the UTV, then move the UTV to a new layer (ctrl-shift-j {windows} command-shift-j {Mac})
Instead of moving to a new layer, you could also convert the selection to a mask. Click the icon in the layers panel that looks like a circle inside of a square. Also, if the layer the image is on is a background layer, you need to click on the padlock on that layer to convert it it to a normal layer, that is required to make the mask work.
The reason for the mask, is it will make it easier to change the shape of the mask if it needs adjusting ex. you can still see part of the house.
The mask is also non-destructive, meaning you can remove it any time you want at a later date. Whereas the cut to layer is destructive, meaning once it is done and you do not have a backup, there is no going back once the file is closed.

Can a report be developed using free hand SQL(Sql Query) using a DB Link

Hello All,
A report to be developed based on query in OBIEE dashboards
Select Query -----1
UNION
Select Query------2
First select query is coming from one database schema and second is coming from the other.
Is there any way to develop the report using free hand SQL based on a DB link?
Is there any feature to use Database link (DB link)?
Thank in Advance,
SMA

What you ask is the direct database request capabilities :
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/presentation_service/obiee_direct_database_request
But you can also use the federated query capabilities of the repository to model a star schema with two star schema from two different data source.

How to create a dropdown box in free hand sql??

Post Author: nalinipers
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
Hi every body,I have created a report by using free hand sql. My client wants to create a drop down box in that report.I do not know how to create the drop down box as i know how to create prompts in free hand sql.can you please help me to create the drop down box by using free hand sql. Periyasamy.

Post Author: jsanzone
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
Hi Periyasamy,
A drop down box is the same as a prompt that you would build when working in Designer. If you already have the prompt in mind that you want to use and it exists in your universe, then the easiest way to make it work in free hand SQL is to first build your query in the normal fashion that you would for any other report and include that prompt. Once you've got the objects and filters pretty much set, then capture the SQL, and modify it now as free hand SQL for your own situation. You will notice that there may be some "@prompt" stuff scattered in your SQL, which will now run as a drop down box when you go to run your free hand SQL. You can take note of how things were constructed and the next time you have to build your own free hand SQL you can either do it again the way just described, or build it totally on your own.

Using Decode in where clause in free hand sql

Hi,
I want to use decode in free hand sql.
for eg : this is a where condition
Outlet_Lookup.City = @variable('Enter City')
Requirement :
if we put the user prompt as "Enter City and % for all cities"
and the user enters % then the data display should be all cities or else it shld be the specific city entered in the prmpt..
Can we do that using Decode statement,
I have tried
Outlet_Lookup.City = Decode(@variable('Enter City'),'%',Outlet_Lookup.City,(@variable('Enter City')))
This is not working....
Pls guide on the same..
Thanks.

Hi Mathieu,
Thanks for the solution,
I tried the following
((Outlet_Lookup.City = @variable('Enter City or % for All') or @variable('Enter City or % for All')='%'))
This is working fine....
Thanks

Not Converted : Free-hand SQL connection problem

While converting a Free Hand SQL report from Desktop Intelligence to Web Intelligence report in BI XI 3.1, I am faced with the problem
Not Converted : <REPNAME> - Free-hand SQL connection problem
It is be noted that there are some other Free Hand SQL Reports, that go converted and published without any error. The subject report has two Data Providers; one referring to the Universe and other from the Free Hand SQL tagged to a DB Connection

Ajay,
Some more points that can be of consideration to you to help understand my problems.
The conversion from DeskI to WebI is in the same version BI XI 3.1 and not to BI 4.0 in which Free Hand SQLs is not supported.
I have converted one other Free Hand SQL Report with an error "Partially Converted : <REPNAME2> - Conditional or permanent Hide Header not available in Web Intelligence", for which I had to edit the report in InfoView and un-tick the "Show When Empty" property of the table ( http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=197157&view=next&sid=e6840aafa2d1267c66dae164d1dbf9db ). I think the solution mentioned in this link does not meet the purpose as the table is not displayed in the design time after the above untick.
Coming back to our issue, further probing into this aspect I stumbled upon this link meant for RCT for BI 4.0 version
https://csdwportal.dhhs.state.nc.us/downloads/Business%20Objects%20XI%20R4.0%20Docs/SAP%20BusinessObjects%20Report%20Con…
where in Section 3.4.9, there is a mention of the limitation in conversion as under
"Conversion of reports with free-hand SQL or stored procedures is only possible in Connected mode, since the Report Conversion Tool needs to use the secured connection to the database that is saved in the CMS."
I want to how the secured connection to the database in REPNAME2 is different from the subject report REPNAME1 as REPNAME2 got partially converted. The error reported for Subject report is "Free Hand SQL Connection Problem" and not conversion problem which can occur after the connection is established.
I did check the security properties of various FHSQL connections in the CMC and all of them are identical in nature.
Please advise

Free hand SQL

Hi
I want to create a report without using the semantic layer.
Can I build a request that based on SQL that I write (like in BOs' free hand SQL)?
I'll be happy to have the documentation
Thanks

You get some limited interaction (Page sections, totals, etc) when you view sql results as pivot tables.

DeskI report with free hand sql

Hi,
I have converted a deski report from BO 5x to BO Xi. R3. That report contains a free hand sql connection. The report run fine when running from the server. But it is not when I am trying to refresh it through Infoview; somehow I am getting the CORBA Initialization failiure.
I tested successfully the connection through Desinger. I am not sure what I need to do next.
Please help!!!!
Edited by: Brian Mangan on Sep 9, 2010 10:53 PM

Hi,
When a report with free hand sql converted from earlier versions (5x) to latest version (r3 I guess) then the connection parameters sholud be changed in latest version (r3). Please change ur connection parameters in r3. i.e the user name, password and connection string so that in r3 we can connect to back end and then try to refresh the report in webi.
The Corba Initialization is related to invalid connection to back end.
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.
