Geocoding in Oracle with the 2008 TIGER data

Hello everyone,
I am new to Oracle Spatial and am wondering if it is possible to use the 2008 TIGER shapefile data with Oracle Spatial's Geocoding package. From the information that I have read so far, it looks like I would have to convert the TIGER data into a specific format (the GC_ tables) in order for it to be Geocoded. So I guess my questions are as follows:
Is this even possible?
If it is possible, how difficult would it be to convert the data?
Are there any tools/resources out there to help with this?
Is Navteq the only company that supplies data in the proper format to be used by Oracle's geocoding package? I did import their sample data and get a proof of concept working with that pretty easily, but due to the cost of the data, using their data does not appear to be an option for us.
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi,
I am unsure if the tiger data includes the attribution required for the Oracle geocoder to work.
Have you been quoted a price by NAVTEQ? Most customers are surprised by how affordable the geocoding data is.
Please feel free to contact me: daniel dot abugov at navteq dot com
Thanks and good luck,
Dan

Transfer Of Data from Sap to Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services.

Hello,
We want to transfer data from Sap to Oracle using standard Enterprise Services.Some fields were not available in the existing standard Enterprise Services,so we have enhanced the existing Services by writing code inside BADI available with Enterprise Services.Rest of the fields we have mapped with the existing fields available in standard Enterprise Services.But,the Oracle people want to fetch all data from Sap without entering any input as a mandatory field in the Enterprise Services.The existing standard Enterprise Services require to enter any field as mandatory and are not accepting the range in input for multiple records.e.g.All enterprise Services related to Sales Orders are displaying only one sales Order.We have searched all Enterprise Services for Sales Order(related to reading of data),but not able to find service which would display mutiple records without entering any input.ECC_SALESORDER009QR is the only service which is displaying multiple records without entering any input,but the required fields are not available in this service.So,kindly suggest what we need to do further.
1.Should we go for customization of services completely,so that it would fulfil our requirement.
2.Are there standard Enterprise Services exists which would we give us data in range(all records).
If they exists,please specify the names of Services for reading Purchase Order,Production Order,BOM etc.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Vaibhav,
Let me tell you the objective in detail.
Objective.
To develop a package solution which will work as a bridge between Oracle APS and SAP system so that customers using SAP will be able to use advantages of Oracle APS for their planning needs.
This will consist of following major components:
OA Templates is an Oracle utility to load data from any legacy system to Oracle APS using standard flat files.
Oracle has developed an Application Integration Architecture which is a standard architecture used for integration of Oracle products with other systems.
Enterprise services is an SAP utility to communicate with SAP.
AIA canonicals are standard canonicals developed by Oracle where we have to map data fields from destination system (Oracle APS) and source system (SAP)
Fusion middleware is being used to develop application interfaces following AIA standards.
Tasks at stake:
Mapping of Oracle APS fields and SAP Enterprise Service fields to AIA canonicals
Technical work of developing middleware using Oracle Fusion
From Sap side,we have to map fields which we have received from Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services,rest consumption of these services is done by Oracle guys.So,suggest is there enterprise services available which would give us multiple records .
Thanks & Regards,
Divya.

How to pull the job with the latest effective date in PSFT?

Hello,
I am running the PSFT 9.1.1 connector workforcefullsync.
I ran into a problem when the user has multiple job records. Each time that the user job is updated, a new job record is created. So, when the data comes from PSFT, for a user, we have multiple jobs records with different effective date (For example <EFFDT IsChanged="Y">1996-10-21</EFFDT>). OIM is only interested in the latest EFFDT.
Question 1: is it something that we can set on the PeopleSoft side, so that only the job with the highest EFFDT is sent to OIM?
Question 1b: is this is not easy to accomplish from the PSFT side, can I use transformation in the connector to only pull the job record with the highest effective date?
Question 2: if the EFFDT shows a date in the future (HR wants to disable a person in the future), does OIM ignore this change until the sysdate is after that EFFDT date?
Thanks
PS: workforcefullsync worked fine if the file contains only 1 job per employee. When the xml files contain multiple job records, I got the error:
ERROR QuartzWorkerThread-1 OIMCP.PSFTER - oracle.iam.connectors.psft.common.handler.impl.PSFTWorkForceSyncReconMessageHandlerImpl : handleMessage
ERROR QuartzWorkerThread-1 OIMCP.PSFTER - 1

Hello,
When the PSFT team sends a message over to OIM to disable a user with today's date, the user got disabled fine in OIM. A reconciliation event is created.
When the PSFT team sends a message over to OIM to disable a user with a future date for EFFDT, let's say 3/31/2010, no reconciliation event was created.
Does OIM store this information somewhere so that it will process it later on?
It's a good thing that OIM does not disable the user who has an EFFDT in the future, but we don't want that record to be forgotten.
Please help.
Thanks

Problems with the O2 blackberry data package on my Curve 3G.

I have already informed O2 about this but they claim that I should be used the blackberry support services, but nothing there helps me!
I got my Blackberry Curve 3G on September 9th this year and I put on the Blackberry Data Package bolt-on onto my phone on September 16th. I then received a text to say they've taken £5 from my credit and it will be up and running in the next 24 hours. Its now September 19th and my BBM is not working at all and I am extremely upset with the services and behaviour I have received from both O2 and Blackberry.
Is there any way you can help? If this fails, I shall be forced to go back to the shop from where I got my Blackberry from and ask for their help.
Many thanks, Jade.

Can a bubble whistle Problems with the O2 blackberry data package on my Curve 3G.? The seat matures in your oar. The lad ices the pursuing method inside a resident. A judge spins against the vendor! The rose wows the hello.

Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet? I don't need the calendar grid. I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates. Is that possible?

Not easily. Two possibilities:
1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
The first one will probably give you what you want.

I have the iphone 2g with the $20 unlimited data plus 200 texts, is there any way to keep the tiered text messaging plan when I upgrade to the iphone 4s?

I have the original iphone on AT&T with the $20 unlimited data with 200 text messages. I know that I can keep the unlimited data plan when I upgrade to the iphone 4s, but I would also like to keep my 200 text message plan. Is there any way for me to keep this feature? Also on the original Iphone, I could upgrade to the unlimited data plan with 1500 text messages, if I upgrade this feature, will it extend my contract?
Thanks,
Ray

Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

Are pictures taken with the iPad 2 date stamped?

Are pictures taken with the ipad 2 date stamped or separated by events?

Yes, it's date stamped.
It carries plenty of information.

If a class method exporting a value with the generic type 'data'.

Then how can I get the information?
For exmple.
cl_my_clss->get_value( exporting ev_data = .... ) .
ev_data is a type of data.
I can not use DATA : lv_mine type data. because generic data should be used in formal parameter, however , if I use a field symbol, how to assign value with out knowing the data type?
Best regards,

Hi Blake,
As per my understanding,
You are getting the data type from the database table....
You want to use the same data type....
Lets say for example:
You have a db table x with field y having data type Z.
What you do is that, while declaring the data type for the attribute in the method use the reference as table_name-field_name(x-y).
Or....
use ANY. This will give you a chance to map any field type to this method....
Note: Using ANY will limit the syntax that you can use within the method......

Crystal Reports XI String [255] limit with the File System Data driver...

I was trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report to return security permissions of files and folders. I have been able to successfully connect and return data using the File System Data driver as the Data Source; however the String limit on the ACL NT Security Field is 255 characters. The full string of data to be returned can be much longer than the 255 limit and I cannot find how to manipulate that parameter.
I am currently on Crystals XI and Crystal XI R2 and have applied the latest service packs but still see the issue. My Crystal Reports Database DLL for File System data ( crdb_FileSystem.dll ) is at Product Version 11.5.10.1263.
Is it possible to change string limits when using the File System Data driver as the Data Source? If so, how can that be accomplished. If not, is there another method to retrieve information with the Windows File System Data being the Data Source? Meaning, could I reach my end game objective of reporting on the Windows ACL's with Crystal through another method?

Hello,
This is a known issue. Early versions you could not create folder structures longer than 255 characters. With the updates to the various OS's this is now possible but CR did not allocate the same space required.
It's been tracked as an enhancement - ADAPT01174519 but set for a future release.
There are likely other ways of getting the info and then putting it into an Excel file format and using that as the data source.
I did a Google search and found this option: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/16772-45-display-explorer-folders-tree-structure-export-excel
There are tools out there to do this kind of thing....
Thank you
Don

Can anyone actually help me with the up-to-date program???

First off, I want to state that I have been an Apple customer for years owning multiple iPhones, MacBooks, and iPads. Although I've had some minor glitches in the past, they were all fixed with relative ease. I recently purchased (8/11/12) an iMac as I am going back to school. This purchase has been plagued with issues from the start. I ordered it online and picked it up at a local Apple store. Upon getting my computer home, I realized there wasn't a mouse or keyboard. I called the store back and explained the problem to them and they asked that I come back to the store with the receipt that was taped to the box to get a new keyboard and mouse. Upon returning, it turned out that they gave me someone else's computer. Luckly everything was fixed....but that was the start of the iMac from ****.
So this issue all started because I couldn't get my new iMac to find my documents on iCloud (originally written on my iPad). So I called Apple Care to figure out what I was doing wrong. We finally figured out that my iMac wasn't finding my iCloud documents because I needed the Mt. Lion Up-To-Date program. Soooo they sent me the link to redeem the program for free since my computer is new....did I mention I just bought this iMac??? So I input all the data (name, address, date of purchase, computer serial number) yet I got a message back saying: " This is an already claimed serial number." So I called Apple Care back since clearly something was wrong. So hours go by and it is finally determined that someone else used my computer serial number to redeem the copy of the Up-To-Date Program. Numerous customer service reps (and I've lost count how many people I have talked to in the last 24 hours) have stated that the computer serial number which is registered to me was used by someone else, obviously they couldn't give me that person's name or contact info. In addition, the customer service people all said this has never happened before and that they didn't know what to do about it. So I've been forwarded to numerous people to no avail. The latest contact, which was given to me by a Senior Supervisor in another department because he didn't know how to fix this, makes me want to ram my head through a wall. I was told to send an email to [email protected] explaining the situation and various details I've gotten so far. Their email reply made me want to scream when I read it because they clearly didn't read or investigate the issue as they gave me a blank statement: "
Dear Apple Customer,

As you can see they are asking for a claim reference number.....the **** system will not let me make a claim because someone else already has!!!!!!!! That's the problem!!!!
I don't know what to do!!! All I want is for my iMac to work with iCloud!!!! I also don't think I should have to pay for the program because I am entitled to it for free since I just bought the computer. By far this is one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had (even worse than the **** cable company...and we all know they're idiots)!!! Does anyone know of anyone I can contact to fix this issue???? Also, I don't see how someone could of used my serial number if they didn't know my address information. I just heard last night about a possible Apple ID hacking on the news. I wonder if this could be related, since everyone I've talked to has acknowledged the issue but no one has given me a situation. Another coincidence (that may or may not be related), the credit card connected to my iTunes account was recently closed by the bank for fraudulent charges. That card is primarily used for my iTunes account, so I also wonder if that could be related. In the end, I am disgusted and appalled by the customer service I am receiving.

If it were me I would schedule an appointment at the store where you bought it and meet with the Manager of the store in person. Print this post and bring it with you along with your iMac.
And change the password on your Apple ID and then see if there are in purchases in your account that you did not make. If there are then someone did get your ID and password. If not someone got your Credit Card information from somewhere and used it.

How to deal with the change of data element?

Hi, experts
My trouble's background is:
A CBO table(ZIEBTCIITM) saves invoice items .
There are three fields relevant to quantity in it.
And they have the corresponding data elements with the same type QUAN,13 characters and 3 decimals.
Now because the quantity is so small,for example 0.00004,that the 3 decimal digit is not suitable.
I want to change the CBO table to adapt my business,so the quantity fields' decimal should be expanded firstly,and there are transction data in the CBO table.
My question is :
1) Is it necessary to backup the CBO table before data element change?
2) What should I do is Only to expand the data elements' decimals?
Anyone can give me suggestion?

Hello Mic
To be on the save side I would suggest to export the table entries to Excel and create a transport request containing the original table and its entries:
R3TR TABL ZIEBTCIITM
R3TR TABU ZIEBTCIITM *
Next you should create your own data element (or search for a suitable standard data element), e.g. ZQUAN13_5 (13 digits, 5 decimals).
Replace the data element of the DB fields with your new data element and activate the DB table.
I expect that nothing will happen to the entries in the DB table except that your quantity fields should have 5 decimals now.

2 Dimensions with the same master data

Dear all,
   In a application,I got 2 dimensions customer and ship-to customer.
   Technically, I maintain the data for both dimensions separately.
   From business point of view ,these 2 dimensions should point to the same master data.
   How can we deal this kind of scenarios in BPC in both MS and NW version ?
   In BW , we can create infoObject by referring to other infoObject.
   The two infoObjects will share the same data storage( the data store in the same table). Dose BPC support this kind of function?
Thx,
Jeff

Hi,
As far as I know (MS Versions), you will have to have two different dimensions, meaning two different dim files (.xls) with their respective dim and mbr tables behind. You can not have the same table in the database serving two different dimensions.
What you can of course do is to automate the dimension/s update based on the same reference data. e.g. a DTS / SSIS process getting the data from the source and creating / updating the two physical dimensions in BPC based on a unique source.
Hope this helps,
Jc

Is anyone else having trouble with the Up To Date Program?

I bought a brand new Macbook Pro with Retina Display from the Apple Online Store, on June 15. Last week when Mountain Lion was released, I attempted to obtain a OX upgrade code throught the Up-To-Date Program. Then...the unthinkable happene! I got rejected by Apple. I first sent in my Acknowledgment of Order to prove my purchase, part of the Up-To-Date Program. I was rejected because Apple found the claim wasn't supported.
SO!!
I resubmitted with my Acknowledgment of Order, "Thank You" document from Apple when I purchased the Macbook, shipping detail I received from UPS when they delivered it to me (apparently Apple wants prove that the product was shipped), the notification of purchase, and the notification of shipping. With so many support documents, I still got rejected hours later.
I AM AT LOSS! What exactly is Apple looking for! It's clear that I purchased the product. I have the documents submitted. I logged in my Apple account and found out my Macbook Pro IS REGISTERED under my name. I even phoned customer support, and the guy over the phone even said, "I see you bought and registered the Retina display model." when I inquired about my claim. So CLEARLY, they KNOW I purchased the Macbook.
Okay. I have the documents. I got rejected twice. The email from Apple the second time left me an address to send an inquiry.
I sent an inqury with ABSOUTELY EVERYTHING (invoice, notifications, etc). That was three days ago. I received NO reply.
Let's recount. Apple knows that I purchased the Retina Display model. I've sent in multiple documents which are only received if one actually purchase their products. They rejected the validation of my purchase outright in addition to the lack of reply and service. The conclusion that I've reached is that Apple doesn't want to give out Mountain Lion codes. Needless to say, I got "appled".
I searched on the forums, and some people who obtained codes from the Up to Date Program claimed that their codes don't work. Is anyone else getting duped by Apple or "appled"??

There have been some ongoing discussions about this problem that some are having - see the "More Like This" to the right.

Did anyone have problems with the 2012 4GB Data Promotion?

I purchased a Droid RAZR on June 4th with the understanding that I would receive the 4GB upgrade on the data plan. Verizon did not and will not honor this promotion because, in their words, I manually activated the phone and the promotion was never applied to the account and there was nothing they could do. Really? Nothing? Even though I attempted activation through the device 3 times to no avail? I have documentation that I placed the order during the promo and added the promo upgrade on the order. This is totally unacceptable and I am angry & disappointed in Verizon's customer service. I have been a customer with Verizon for 10 years and never experienced anything like this.
I am curious if anyone else has had issues with Verizon not honoring this promo? Thanks.

If you have the record of the purchase, and it lists the option to add the "Double Your Data" on it, then I would just go to a Corporate Store and talk to someone there. Did you buy the phone through Verizon Online? Somewhere else?

Retrieve contact list via the API not with the last updated date but created date?

I can connect via the API and retrieve a list of contacts but it seems that the only paramater i can pass is to search since the last Update Date.
Is it possible to search on the Created date and to have a date range as well?
I found the xml result is slow to come as it gives all entries since the "lastUpdateDate" entered.

A change in score does not cause the Date Modified field to change on the contact record. This field only changes when some data in one of the fields has changed.
However, some of the confusion can come from the fact that lead scores have a Profile and Engagement portion. So if you have certain fields on the profile section being modified, that would cause a rescore at the same time. Engagement criteria such as form submits often cause the contact record to be modified while website visits and email clicks/opens do not.
Hopefully this helps clarify,
Bojan
