How does order of columns change when I create dimension?

I created dimension from 3 tables, but order columns in each tables changed. And when I use drilldown in Dashboards and go to next level, all columns show in wrong order how in dimension. What should I do to change order columns in dimension?

OK, this is a "stab in the dark" about what you're experiencing, but take a look at this: First, note the order you wish the columns to appear when doing a drilldown. Now, when you drill down, note which columns appear first (leftmost) as compared to the other columns that seem to not appear in the proper order. When the disorder appears, are there data in the left columns and no data in the columns towards the right? Here's what it seems OBI does (at least in my experience).
If all the columns have data, the order in the drilldown will appear as expected. Let's say you have 15 columns. (There's a reason I chose this many columns.) What happens if columns 1 -5 (in your sort order) have no data, but column 6 does? OBI will put that column first at the far left. If then columns 7-9, say, have no data, but column 10 does, then column 10 will appear second. If columns 11- 15 have data, then the final order will be: 6, 10, 11- 15, 1-5, 7-9.
As long as there are some sort of data, the column will appear in the proper order. But if a column has no data, then a column that does takes precedence. Why this behavior?
Suppose that of the 15 columns, only column 15 had data. The number of columns would make the report very wide. Would the user wish to scroll all the way to the right just to see the one column of data? Instead, it will be column 1 with columns 2-14 following. The user would then be able to see the column with data without having to scroll. If they understood this behavior, they would know that if column 15 is appearing first, there is no need to scroll to the right.
Again, this is my experience and it seems to explain it. (I, too, pulled my hair in frustration trying to figure this out). See if this applies to you and let me know.
Note: The "strange" behavior appears at the lowest level drilldown. It seems to maintain the proper level at higher levels. (So in my experience, I drill from region>branch>details and it is in the detail level that I get the column disorder.)

    Hi martin,
    yes i accept that in SRM also workflows are all started by event...what i mean is in R/3 we go for Change document object(swec) or some other method for event creation...like that in SRM what is there?Just whenwe create a Shopping cart How the workflow is trigerred...suppose if it is trigerred using fm swe_event_create where they might have called the function module.

  • Why does order of playlist changed when burning CD?

    I made a playlist from songs imported from different cd's to burn a mixed cd. i changed the order of the songs in the playlist the way i wanted them on the cd & even changed each songs number in the info box. still once the cd is burned the songs are in a different order. i must have missed something basic but i cant figure out what. help!!

    Are you burning within iTunes? Using Burn Playlist to Disc? That's the only I burn from my library, and my playlists always stay in the order I've placed them in.
    If you're burning through Finder, it may be burning them in alpha order.

  • How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

    How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

    Sara,
    Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to  convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing. 
    Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

  • [Solved] How does one go about changing the hostname in arch nowadays?

    Everything I've seen on the subject references /etc/rc.conf, which I believe is no longer used.

  • How does c:url tag know when the session is cookieless and thus to redirect

    i have been looking at the source code for c:url tag and can't figure out how they are doing that. I need a way to do that in a jsp, to check if the cookies are allowed or not.

    how does c:url tag know when the session is cookieless and thus to redirecthuh?
    What do cookies have to do with redirecting?
    Cookies get encoded into a URL using the method in HttpServletResponse: response.encodeURL() or encodeRedirectURL().
    That method determines whether or not it prints out the session id as part of the url, or it gets uses cookies.
    You can try: request.isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie().
    If that is true, you know that session cookies are supported (or at least that one was)

  • How to Commit before Insert Row when Press Create Insert Button ?

    Hi all;
    I'm Using JDev 11.1.1.2.0
    How to Commit before Insert Row when Press Create Insert Button in ADF11g?
    <af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.CreateInsert.execute}"
    text="CreateInsert"
    disabled="#{!bindings.CreateInsert.enabled}"
    id="cb8" />
    best regards;

    You need to do a custom method eather in managed bean or in Application module to do that.
    in managed bean it would be something like:
    public void CommitAndInsert(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
    OperationBinding opCommit = ADFUtils.findOperation("Commit");
    opCommit.execute();
    OperationBinding opCreateInsert = ADFUtils.findOperation("CreateInsert");
    opCreateInsert.execute();
    In page bindings Commit and CreateInsert must exist
    then the button actionListener will be
    <af:commandButton actionListener="#{backing.CommitAndInsert}"

  • Why does my font/text change when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D in After Effects?

    My font/text changes when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D. Why is it doing this? Also, I cant get the font/txt to look the same after I switch from Classic to Ray traced. How can I get it to look the same?

    I am pretty new to After Effects so I hope it's not my inexperience that's causing the problem. (It probably is)
    I just updated to the most current version of AE.
    I am on a mac pro late 2013 12GB 6 core. Running OSX 10.9.4
    Okay so after looking at it a little closer, I think the color is what mostly changes. The first screenshot is the what the text look like with Classic 3D and the second screenshot is what it looks like after I change it to Ray traced 3D. Also under the "Mode" section..the pull down that says "Normal" disappears. I'm wondering why the font color is changing?

  • How does iTunes detect move format when purchase

    Doh...  I asked previously a question and cant find how to locate the inital request out the the 10's of thousands...  So i'll ask again... Sorry. 
    How does iTunes determine if your system can handle HD movies when  purchasing?  I ask because I have a highend workstation with high end Quadro 2x dual DVI card with matching high resolution monitors (Dell 3007's).  Itunes prevents me from purchasing/downloading HD movies.  If however I purchase them on my other system (mulitmedia laptop) i can play them on my workstation.  Bit of a pain to be purchasing on one system only to play on another...  Solution will be to put HD's on NAS. 
    Any suggestions?
    JP

    iTunes is aware of the serial number of each iPhone.  The backups stored in the iTunes area contain serial number information.
    You can change the name of her iPhone several ways.  One is on her iPhone in Settings > General > About > Name.
    You say "... the receiving end sees my name on their display."  That is because you are listed as the financially responsible party - the bill payer.  Her name would be seen, for example, if she calls another iPhone and the call recipient has her set up as a separate contact from you with just her telephone number.
    If you want her name to show up on her phone, in general, perhaps your cellular carrier can do that.

  • How does Order Analysis measure phase lag, particularly super-sync amplitudes?

    In recent testing of a high speed gear box, an 8X amplitude was observed (on the radial displacement probes) as the gear passed through a certain speed range. An NI4472 pci card and vi's written in 7 Express, w/ Order Analysis tool kit were configured with radial displacement probes and keyphasor as input signals. The behavior of the phase lag measurement is significant. If the phase lag of the 8X amplitude rolled as the gear passed through a particular speed range then this could suggest one particular problem, but if the phase lag remained constant then this could indicate a different problem. So, someone asked: How does the system measure phase lag of supersynchronous amplitudes?

    See attached file for figure 1,2,3
    The Phase measurement in the LabVIEW Order Analysis Toolkit uses the phase lag convention. Phase is defined as the angle difference measured from the peak of a vibration signal backward in time to the reference trigger point. This means the directions of numerically increasing angles are always set against the shaft rotation. The trigger point here is the tachometer pulses.
     Figure 1 shows the relationship of the vibration signal and reference signal to zero degree phase. The shaft has a heavy spot and a keyway slot. When the keyway slot passes the tachometer, the tachometer detects a trigger pulse. The heavy spot causes the shaft to vibrate as the shaft rotates. When the heavy spot passes the proximity probe, the vibration reaches a peak. When the heavy spot passes the proximity probe and the keyway slot passes the tachometer simultaneously, the peak of the vibration does not lag or lead the reference trigger point. At this point the phase is zero degrees.
     The other part of the convention dictates that 90 degrees means that the peak of vibration lags 90 degrees behind the trigger point. Figure 2 1illustrates the 90 degree phase. When the vibration signal reaches the peak, rotate the shaft backward (counter the rotation direction) until the keyway slot passes the tachometer. The number of degrees you rotate is the phase lag, or the phase value in machinery vibration measurement. Figure 2 shows the relationship of the vibration signal and reference signal to the 90 degrees phase convention.
    For the 8x phase, the measurement is conducted in the similar way. The difference is that the 8x order component go 8 times faster than the trigger pulses. Figure 3 shows the 90 degree phases ( tacho pulse in rising edge) of the 8x order components. The phase measurement is still conducted through calculating the delay between the peak in the 8x vibration components and the trigger pulses and comparing the delay to one cycle of the 8x components. In figure 3, the signals between the two green grid lines are used to output one phase results.

  • How does Time Machine track changes?

    My Leopard upgrade got stuck with a minute to go - I had to hold down the power button to restart my Mac, but to my surprise Leopard launched and everything seemed to work fine. I set up Time Machine and it's been running without problems, backing up to my 2nd internal drive. The only problem I noticed was that a few hidden files weren't hidden - presumably it hadn't finished cleaning up after itself. So, I carried on using Leopard until today when I finally decided it might be a good idea to run the installer again. The installation completed fine, and everything is running nicely.
    My question is: will time machine track any changes that have been made from re-running the installer, or does it only track changes that are made while Leopard is running? Should I switch off Time Machine, delete the backups, and start again, or will it handle these changes?

    When I log back into 10.8 Mountain Lion and Time Machine does it's normal back up thing, does it recognize changes that were made to internal disks, folders, and files that were made when I was previously booted into 10.7 Lion?
    Yes.
