Function/operation

Hello,
Can anyone assist me in writing a pcr to calculate two dates? That is, the difference between the hiring date and the current date. So that if employee has worked 1 year for instance, a pcr calculation is processed for him, and the employee has worked 2 years another pcr is processed instead.
This calculation is similar to that of savings using number of years worked as a basis of calculation.
Regards,
The suggestion given should be good enough. Please put in your efforts to write the PCR yourself and then seek help, if you still need it.

Hi,
operations NUM/RTE/AMT all have the possibility to calculate the difference between two dates.
Have a look at SAP - documentation for these operations under
2nd Variant : Table fields --> Operand F (Date Specifications).

Expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["member"]) in function[operator@div

Hi,
I am trying to recalculate a figure based on an annual percentage. The script is
FIX(yr2011, Plan, CC_4363,draft)
"AC_&&&&&& Salary" ="AC_&&&&&&Salary"* ("pay increase%"/100)
endfix
endexclude
I receive the error "expected type [NUMBER] found [STRING] (["AC_&&&&&&"]) in function[operator@div"
I looked at this forum and someone suggested using the @match function. I tried
"AC_&&&&&& Salary" ="AC_&&&&&& Salary"* (@match(Accounts," pay increase%")/100);
This validated but the salary figure disappeared.
The reason I am not loading at monthly (level zero) is due to a business requirement. I am having to spread the figures down the months from the total year but if the total year is wrong or missing the montly data obviously disappears too.
Thanks,
Nathan

A few questions:
1) I see an ENDEXCLUDE, but no starting EXCLUDE. How does that relate to the code?
2) Do you really have member names with six ampersands in them? Is that even an allowed character? I guess it is but it looks odd as & is the character used to define the usage of an Essbase Substitution Variable. Okay, that was a comment, not a question, I guess.
3) Do you have a Pay Increase% in every month? Or is it annual?
3) Why don't you stick the salary value to be allocated into another Account, e.g., "Annual Salary" and place it in a single month. Then your code could look like:
FIX(yr2011, Plan, CC_4363,draft, "Jan":"Dec")
"AC_&&&&&& Salary" ="Annual Salary"->"BegBalance" * ("pay increase%"->"BegBalance" / 100)
endfix
I created a BegBalance member which you may not have -- chose Dec or Jan as your home for Annual Salary and Pay Increase and go from there. I also forced the calc to happen at the month level -- I am assuming you have months in your app, but maybe not. Salt to taste.

How to implement Table Function Operator?

Hello All,
Can some one post me the steps on how to implement this table function operator ??
Thanks ...

I don't know what else to say then that what's writen in help (F1):
To define a Table Function operator in a mapping:
Before you deploy the mapping containing the Table Function operator, you must manually create the table function in the target warehouse. The Table Function operator is bound to the actual table function object through the code generated by the mapping.
1. Drag and drop a Table Function operator onto the Mapping Editor canvas. A table function operator called TABLEFUNCTION is added to the Mapping Editor canvas.
2. Connect the appropriate source attributes to the input group of the table function operator.
3. Right-click the Table Function operator and select Open Details. The Table Function Editor is displayed.
4. From the Groups tab, select Add to add an output group

Need some help with the Table Function Operator

I'm on OWB 10gR2 for Sun/Solaris 10 going against some 10gR2 DB's...
I've been searching up and down trying to figure out how to make OWB use a Table Function (TF) which will JOIN with another table; allowing a column of the joined table to be a parameter in to the TF. I can't seem to get it to work. I'm able to get this to work in regular SQL, though. Here's the setup:
-- Source Table:
DROP TABLE "ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX";
CREATE TABLE "ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"
( "ID" NUMBER(8,0),
"ROOM_NUMBER" VARCHAR2(200),
"FEATURES" VARCHAR2(4000)
-- Example Data:
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (1,'Room 1',null);
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (2,'Room 2',null);
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (3,'Room 3','1,1;2,3;');
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (4,'Room 4','5,2;5,4;');
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (5,'Room 5',' ');
-- Destination Table:
DROP TABLE "ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX";
CREATE TABLE "ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX"
( "ROOM_NUMBER" VARCHAR2(200),
"FEATUREID" NUMBER(8,0),
"QUANTITY" NUMBER(8,0)
-- Types for output table:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE FK_Row_EX AS OBJECT
ID NUMBER(8,0),
QUANTITY NUMBER(8,0)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE FK_Table_EX AS TABLE OF FK_Row_EX;
-- Package Dec:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX IS
FUNCTION UNFK(inputString VARCHAR2) RETURN FK_Table_EX;
END ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX;
-- Package Body:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE BODY ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX IS
FUNCTION UNFK(inputString VARCHAR2) RETURN FK_Table_EX
AS
RETURN_VALUE FK_Table_EX := FK_Table_EX();
i NUMBER(8,0) := 0;
BEGIN
-- TODO: Put some real code in here that will actually read the
-- input string, parse it out, and put data in to RETURN_VALUE
WHILE(i < 3) LOOP
RETURN_VALUE.EXTEND;
RETURN_VALUE(RETURN_VALUE.LAST) := FK_Row_EX(4, 5);
i := i + 1;
END LOOP;
RETURN RETURN_VALUE;
END UNFK;
END ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX;
I've got a source system built by lazy DBA's and app developers who decided to store foreign keys for many-to-many relationships as delimited structures in driving tables. I need to build a generic table function to parse this data and return it as an actual table. In my example code, I don't actually have the parsing part written yet (I need to see how many different formats the source system uses first) so I just threw in some stub code to generate a few rows of 4's and 5's to return.
I can get the data from my source table to my destination table using the following SQL statement:
-- from source table joined with table function
INSERT INTO ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX(
ROOM_NUMBER,
FEATUREID,
QUANTITY)
SELECT
ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX.ROOM_NUMBER,
UNFK.ID,
UNFK.QUANTITY
FROM
ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX,
TABLE(ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX.UNFK(ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX.FEATURES)) UNFK
Now, the big question is--how do I do this from OWB? I've tried several different variations of my function and settings in OWB to see if I can build a single SELECT statement which joins a regular table with a table function--but none of them seem to work, I end up getting SQL generated that won't compile because it doesn't see the source table right:
INSERT
/*+ APPEND PARALLEL("ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX") */
INTO
"ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX"
("ROOM_NUMBER",
"FEATUREID",
"QUANTITY")
(SELECT
"ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"."ROOM_NUMBER" "ROOM_NUMBER",
"INGRP2"."ID" "ID_1",
"INGRP2"."QUANTITY" "QUANTITY"
FROM
(SELECT
"UNFK"."ID" "ID",
"UNFK"."QUANTITY" "QUANTITY"
FROM
TABLE ( "ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX"."UNFK2" ("ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"."FEATURES")) "UNFK") "INGRP2",
"ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX" "ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"
As you can see, it's trying to create a sub-query in the FROM clause--causing it to just ask for "ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"."FEATURES" as an input--which isn't available because it's outside of the sub-query!
Is this some kind of bug with the code generator or am I doing something seriously wrong here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello Everybody!
Thank you for all your response!
I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table
select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
Earlier :
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
Now :
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
I guess this will fix the issue correct?
PLease suggest!

Developer.

How to use the Table Function defined in package in OWB?

Hi,
I defined a table function in a package. I am trying to use that in owb using Table function operator. But I came to know that, owb R1 supports only standalone table functions.
Is there any other way to use the table function defined in a package. As like we create synonyms for functions, is there any other way to do this.
I tryed to create synonyms, it is created. But it is showing compilation error. Finally I found that, we can't create synonyms for functions which are defined in packages.
Any one can explain it, how to resolve this problem.
Thank you,
Regards
Gowtham Sen.

Hi Marcos,
Thank you for reply.
OWB R1 supports stand alone table functions. Here what I mean is, the table fucntion which is not inculded in any package is a stand alone table function.
for example say sample_tbl_fn is a table function. It is defined as a function.It is a stand alone function. We call this fucntion as "samp_tbl_fn()";
For exampe say sample_pkg is a package. say a function is defined in a package.
then we call that function as sample_pkg.functionname(); This is not a stand alone function.
I hope you understand it.
owb supports stand alone functions.
Here I would like to know, is there any other way to use the functions which are defined in package. While I am trying to use those functions (which are defined in package -- giving the name as packagename.functionname) it is throwing an error "Invalid object name."
Here I would like know, is there any other way to use the table functions which are defined in a package.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

Drag and drop functionality in CM25

Hello Experts,
I am trying to configure CM25 so that when you drag and drop to change the start and end times on an operation within a process order, but to block the work centre being changed. Ideally I like the user to be prompted to ensure they intended to change the work centre, but could live with a hard stop. I have drag drop function set to AV09 (Function "Operation at time&work centre") at the moment. I see there is a user exit defined on AV10 but haven't been able to establish what code this exit triggers and would like to get to the AV09 code as it pretty much does what I want. I don't want to limit the screen to a single work centre as I want to see all related operations as need to see the work centre utilization for whole order across multiple processes, to ensure end times of one operation corresponds to start of the next.
I am also looking to prevent capacities being moved at all once the process order has been started as effectively this process is locked in at this point and you cannot physically reschedule the remaining time. (I know I am only supposed to pose one question at a time, but I believe this will be controlled within same configuration)
Any suggestions / advice welcome,
Regards,
Jez

Hello Jez,
AV10 calls, from what I have been able to find out, the same exit that menu option Functions -> User (so enhancement CY190001). However, I could not as yet find a way to know where the user has dropped the object (to do the check, and to be able to continue with AV09 afterwards). The enhancement documentation only mentions how to get more information about the object, but not about where it was dropped.
I am trying to use this to solve http://scn.sap.com/thread/3534956.
Have you managed to find anything else on your side?
Regards,
Rui

Function in a Process Flow

Hi all,
I have a function which returns a value either 1 or 0. I want to get the output of the function and check if the function returns 1 then the process flow should be successful else it should error out.
I have created a simple process flow, which has start, function, success and error. From the function to success transtion i have given an complex condition where value =1 and the other transtion should be kept empty. But it didnt work.
Any ideas how exactly we can use a function in a process flow.
Thanks in advance

There is another way of achiving it....
Go to process flow -> Configure and click on the function operator.
Under Execution Settings, select the option Use Return as Status
This setting governs the behavior for activities that return NUMBER in their output. These activities include the FTP, User Defined, and Transform activities. When you select Use Return as Status, the Process Flow Editor assigns the outgoing transition conditions based on the following numerical return values for the activity:
1 = Success Transition
2 = Warning Transition
3 = Error Transition
You might have your function return 1 for success and 3 for error and the transition would take them as status code.
Thanks,
Suchit

Unable to use string function in REST query

I am querying for duplication of column name in the web using REST query. My query is as per below:
http://siteCollection/sites/Project1/_api/Web/Fields?$select=InternalName&$filter=toupper(InternalName) eq 'TITLE'.
The reference I got from MSDN site. But whenever I am running the same query in the REST Client I am getting following error:
The function operator 'toupper' is not supported or its usage is invalid.
What am I missing in my query? Or this is not a way for doing the case insensitive query then which way is preferable?

toupper is
not supported. Below is the list of
supported functions
On the other hand if you use ListData.svc endpoint
you can use toupper to
perform a similar query.

Functions in TM

Hi Experts,
Is there any function in time management to call the field values of Z-tables, in PCR for calculation purpose?
Regards,
RK.

The answer is NO u have to develop customization function / operation to retrieve value from Z table.
In PCR as Remis said, you have to create customized operation.
If you read from customized Infotype (PAXXXX), you can use operation TABLE (plz using T-code PDSY to have more info about the standard operation): so u can call TABLEPXXXX. This point I'm not sure However I though I remember some entries discussing about the point, it could be done.

Function for looking up multiple variables

I've been through the F&F user guide and the numbers help guide. I'm either not seeing it or something is just going over my head. I know what I'm doing when it comes to my mac and normally I'd say I'm very capable with the standard functions/operations. I've been teaching myself the more "advanced" functions and so far it's been going well. But now I've hit a road block....
I'm trying to create a form for work, to calculate pricing for jobs.
The first table here is my reference table. the second is part of the billing sheet, which you'd be inputting information for specific jobs etc. in order to determine the price
They are on different sheets but within the same document. But I understand using formulas on different sheets, so I think for simplicity sake we can talk about them as if they are on the same sheet. (unless someone feels that's a no no). In case this is relevant, I used custom cell formats for 's/wrap' in table 2 (( ## 's )) and the prices listed in table 1 (( $##.##/m )).

HERE'S MY PROBLEM:
I've been trying to figure out what function to use / how to express it so that the $/m box in the second chart will come up with the correct price as listed in the top table. I can't find anything about multi-dimensional searching except that it tells me "MATCH" can't be used multi-dimensional. I've used LOOKUP for some other basic functions but I don't really understand HLOOKUP nor VLOOKUP
In the explanation for LOOKUP it mentions something about "search-where" being two-dimensional, when I try to make it two dimensional it tells me vector arguments can't be, however the formula and function guide book doesn't mention the word vector once (at least that's what the search told me).
But I THINK (think being the key word here) what I need is for the "search-for" to be two-dimensional. I'd like to be able to input a fold type and the s/wrap quantity and BAM get my price listed below.
Is this possible?
Can someone help me out here? I've been at this for hours and I'm pulling my hair out. Am I not conceptualizing something correctly or arranging my data poorly?
Any and all help would be immensely appreciated.
I hope that wasn't too long winded.
To further complicate my life, there are price discounts for larger quantity jobs. I was trying to get around this by creating price tables for the different quantity ranges (i.e. 0-7500; 75001-15,000 etc.). That is what I have the YES/NO check box for at the top of table 2. I have four tables just like table 2 on the same sheet (each table is named differently so as to be clear). But if there is a way to simplify this, that would be awesome too. I won't get my hopes up, I think I'm asking for a Hail Mary as it is. I'll provide more information if someone thinks what I am talking about is a possibility.

I wanted to thank you two again, you were both very helpful with your responses. I wanted to post this up again, to show you how you've helped, and maybe help someone else that needs help like this later.

Fold type: I used CONCATENATE to join the terms from the "Job Information" table shown below, which follows protocol and registers the correct headings in "Folding Price"
RE: GOM -- the INDIRECT function works great. I've realized that it does search the entire document for headings that match the parameters. I copied these tables onto another sheet so I could mess around with them without destroying what I've done, and I couldn't get the INDIRECT function to work. But as soon as I deleted the sheet with the copied tables, it corrected itself.
I can't thank you enough. Your suggestion just took days off the workload for this project. I'm working with a lot of different elements here and now you've given me a way to simplify things for myself and the user. Thanks again!!

Note: different pricing levels are necessary for the project because we offer discounts on larger quantity jobs. In the table above "Single25" refers to creating a single fold and wrapping the job in stacks of 25. Both the fold type and the wrapping effect the price of the job.

RE Jerrold:
This is what I took from your suggestion. I made a separate table to classify the different price levels by the quantity of the job. Which will now correspond to the Header Column of "folding price"
-I had previously planned on having 4 tables similar to the "Fold" table listed about, but each was to be titled by the different price levels and the user would have had to choose which table to use (I am positive that they would have done it wrong 99% of the time) and each of these tables was going to need a corresponding "folding Price" table. So we're taling about eliminating 6 tables right there, and this concept will be transferable to the other parts of the jobs, removing comprable amounts of tables. You've saved hours of "programming" and data entry.
-removing the custom formats was also clutch. It really simplified things for me.
Thanks again!!!

As far as the user experience of the form. The user will simply fill in the details in the "job information" table, and the form will (should) auto-populate everything I need. After that they just need to check the box in the "Fold" table and I'm golden.
JE: What you said about header names being a nuisance is definitely true, (at least I'm finding this out now). I plan to use "pop-up" menus to prevent users from entering improper values.
I have to make this form as simple as possible for the user. It's turning out to be not so simple for myself, but "nothing is ever easy"

Newbie Question: Rules: Functions: How to compare String based type?

I have some XML facts in my rules dictionary defined by the following schema (fragments shown)
<xs:simpleType name="VarType">
   <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:enumeration value="Foo"/>
      <xs:enumeration value="Bar"/>
      <xs:enumeration value="Baz"/>
      <xs:enumeration value="Qux"/>
   </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:complexType name="ProgType">
   <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="ID" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="var" type="VarType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
   </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Which means that a Prog of ProgType has an ID and a "list" of "var" strings restricted to bounds specified by VarType.
The issue comes when I try to create a Rules Function operating on these types.
Function-> boolean containsVar(ProgType prog,VarType var) (built using the Functions tab of the Rules editor)
for (String v : prog.var ){
   if (v == var){
      return true
return false
The problem we run into here is typing. If v is declared a String, as here, then v == var is invalid because types don't match. But I can't declare v a VarType due to
RUL-05583: a primitive type or fact type is expected, but neither can be found.
This problem may stem from the fact the Java's String is declared final and can't be subclassed, so the JAXB translation to Java may have to wrap it, futzing ==/equals() in the process.
SO... How do I create this method and compare these values?
TIA

Edited by: wylderbeast on Mar 10, 2011 9:18 AM

And here's the answer.
var.value() seems to return the String value of the type
so the comparison becomes
(v == var.value())

Restricted Functions in Reader 9

In Acrobat 9 Pro, when I "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader," I am warned that "certain functions will be restricted" for the end user in Adobe Reader.
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of which functions are restricted for the end user?
Specifically, if cell properties in Acrobat utilize the "Calculate" function, is the "Calculate" function operational in Reader?

It's mostly changes that modify the document, such as adding pages, spawning templates, etc. To get an idea, open an enabled document in Acrobat and see which tools and menu items are disabled. Form calculations certainly are not disabled or otherwise restricted.

Functions between separate tables?

Hi
I would like to have 2 different / separate tables but a functions operating with data in each other.
The first table contains the amount of people. In the second there are prices. I would like to have a function in the second table that does this: [amount of people] * [price] so I can calculate the total amount of money paid and divide it by the amount of people so they will know how much to pay.
Is it possible to do it or I have to put all the data in one table? If it could be in 2 tables it would be much much clearer (yes, I know that I can format one table so it looks like there are two but actually having two is easier and quicker).
Thank you!

Hi,
Both current and historical data are always stored within the same table. There is no option to create separate tables for each that are managed by OWM.
However, you do have the option to use dbms_wm.PurgeTable which can be used to purge a set of data, and optionally store it in a archive table. But, after that is done the data is no longer under Workspace manager's control or the versioning environment. From the description that you gave, I am unsure if this would be sufficient to satisfy your requirements. I am guessing not, but wanted to make you aware of the functionality.
Regards,
Ben

Cooling fan not operated correctly

i am getting a message on start up - " The system has detected the cooling fan function operated not correctly"

We need the model number please. Can you get past the message or does it block you from booting? Remove the battery and AC adapter. Get a paperclip and stick it in the fan outlet grille to hold the fan blades from spinning. Blow in compressed air. Now hold down the power button 30 seconds. Now connect AC and boot to BIOS (F10). As you leave the BIOS reset to default settings and see if we can clear the message. If not the fan needs to be replaced.
