How to avoid doubling data

Hi experts,
i loaded a flatfile1 into an ODS and then into an infocube. Again i loaded another flat file2 ( which had the same records as well as few more records as first one) the same way.. when i look at the Infocube, some of the records have double the values. How do i avoid this.. can i go for delta load from ods to infocube..
all the above loads are fulupdate.
Also SDNers,
By full update do we get all the data again if we load from ODS even if we laoded previously.?
thanks
Dave

If you go as Delta from ODS to Cube, ODS will take care in sending only the changed records and the new records.

How to avoid double-click to click-box

Hello,
until now I did not find a solution for this problem:
I have created a training course for a specific application, and in this coure are some click boxes on which the user should click. On many click boxes should the user click only once but if he double-click the click box, in real application nothing happens. There is only one way to succes the action - one click. But in captivate when the user double-click the click box instead of one click it evaluate as success action (the click box is set only to one click, double-click checkbox is not checked).
So my question is, is there any way how to avoid double-click in cases where the user should click only once? Or in case he double-click the click box to show failure caption?
Many thanks.
Lukas

Hi all
Interesting thread. Unfortunately, what would be needed here is some sort of a widget that would run some internal timer. Sure, you can try multiple Click Boxes and configure one with a Single Click and one with a Double Click. But the problem with that (as I see it) is regardless of what you might try, the Single Click will win out every time. Thus you would need a widget of some sort that would "listen" for a Double Click and respond appropriately.
Tough call... Rick

How to avoid clear data in the block in a form

Hi All
I am using Oracle form 10g and db 10g.
My form i have a list item in my main canvas. It has a value of (EXPENSE,AMOUNT,SUPPLIER,ACCOUNT).
The user used to select the list item one by one and used to enter values in the each canvas assigned to the Item(expense,amount,supplier,account) and go for a save.
For instance when the user enter the value in expense ,amount and supplier and again back when the user navigate back to amount the entered value get cleared.
how to avoid the data get cleared.
Thanks & regards
Srikkanth

you can use EXECUTE_QUERY built-in to populate the data when that canvas or block instance. If it need at block level write this at When New Block Instance. if it a tab page then you can write when tab page change. If need where condition, add block level where condition.

How to avoid duplicate data while inserting from sample.dat file to table

Hi Guys,
We have issue with duplicate data in flat file while loading data from sample.dat file to table. How to avoid duplicate data in control file.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
LKR

No, a control file will not remove duplicate data.
You would be better to use an external table and then remove duplicate data using SQL as you query the data to insert it to your destination table.

How to avoid losing data when communicate with high speed motor?

I connect with high speed servo motor via RS232. To avoid losing data. i thought to set receive buffer, only read the buffer if it collected all bytes. Is this possible?

Hi,
If you know the number of bytes you are trying to read, you can set a viRead call to return information once the particular number of bytes have been read. For more information on this, take a look at the KnowledgeBase article on a Serial VISA Read to read a requested number of bytes.
Even if you read before all bytes have been collected, you should not lose data. When the specified number of bytes are stored in the buffer, the viRead call will send the information to the program, and new data coming in will be stored in the buffer until the byte count is reached again.
I hope this helps,

How to avoid double-counting in Total field

Hi Gurus,
I'm new to Essbase.
Here's a question I don't know how Essbase handle it, my source data stores at relational database, normally one row in the fact table associates with only one row in dimension table, but very common scenario like one fact row can associate with many rows in dimension table, to simplify we have 4 tables:
1. DimProduct(ProductID, ProductName). there's one row like 1, "Bike"
2. FactSales(ProductID, Quantity), there's one row like 1, 10
3. FactSalesReasons(ProductID,ReasonID), there're 2 rows like 1,1 and 1,2 , suppose there're 2 reasons associate with this product sale, that means 1-N relationship between fact and dimension.
4. DimReason(ReasonID,ReasonName), there're 2 rows like 1,"Quality" and 2, "Promotion"
I expect the report as follows:
ProductName ReasonName Quantity
Bike Quality 10
Promotion 10
Total 10
But while built cube, I got the value 20 of Total. I know Microsoft SSAS has a many-many dimension usage can avoid this double counting issue (no need to write extra calculation script), can Essbase do similar way?
Thanks!
Xiao

What I would recommend in this case would be in a calc script. I would guess that this dimension is sparse which usually has a low calculation priority (calcs first and may get overwritten). So, at least for a first pass at a calculation...
========
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
Calc All;
"Total Reason" = @AVG(SKIPNONE,@CHILDREN("Total Reason"));
========
SKIP options are "none", "missing", "zero" or "both".
This will calculate for all accounts.

How to avoid automatic data change in service notification from work order

Hi,
You can trying using Books of Business.
Create a book and add that particular user to that book and at the time of task creation, through a workflow you can assign it to the corresponding book.
This might resolve the access issue you are facing.

How to avoid seeing data for a particular member in the row level

Hello,<BR>I am using Essbase. In that i am having members like taks n/a, demand n/a. Purpose of these members are, if i load data for demand, task wont have data so i am mapping to task n/a.And same for the task loading.I am using alphablox for reporting and report script for retriving the data.So, if i select the task n/a and demand n/a then some value will be existing for this. Is there any possibility to remove this from report.I mean while seeing in the report, it should not get this member and respective value for display and also avoid taking this data for any manipulation.I know RESTRICT for column level data. Is there anything for row level restrictions.<BR>Please help me on this.<BR>Regards<BR>R.Prasanna

Hi,
Into the rule containing the Color metadata, you can restrict the values of the list.
In "Has restricted list and pane", list the values 1, 2 and 3 (new line for each value) :

How to avoid 'duplicate data record' error message when loading master data

Dear Experts
We have a custom extractor on table CSKS called ZCOSTCENTER_ATTR. The settings of this datasource are the same as the settings of 0COSTCENTER_ATTR. The problem is that when loading to BW it seems that validity (DATEFROM and DATETO) is not taken into account. If there is a cost center with several entries having different validity, I get this duplicate data record error. There is no error when loading 0COSTCENTER_ATTR.
Enhancing 0COSTCENTER_ATTR to have one datasource instead of two is not an option.
I know that you can set ignore duplicates in the infopackage, but that is not a nice solution. 0COSTCENTER_ATTR can run without this!
Is there a trick you know to tell the system that the date fields are also part of the key??
Thank you for your help
Peter

Alessandro - ZCOSTCENTER_ATTR is loading 0COSTCENTER, just like 0COSTCENTER_ATTR.
Siggi - I don't have the error message described in the note.
"There are duplicates of the data record 2 & with the key 'NO010000122077 &' for characteristic 0COSTCENTER &."
In PSA the records are marked red with the same message (MSG no 191).
As you see the key does not contain the date when the record is valid. How do I add it? How is it working for 0COSTCENTER_ATTR with the same records? Is it done on the R/3 or on the BW side?
Thanks
Peter

How to avoid duplicate data loading from SAP-r/3 to BI

Hi !
       I have created one process chain that will load data into some ODS from R/3,where(in R/3)the datasources/tables r updated daily.
       I want to scheduled the system such that ,if on any day the source data is not updated (if the tables r as it is) then that data shuold not be loaded into ODS.
       Can any one suggest me such mechanism,so that I can always have unique data in my data targets.
       Pls ! Reply soon.
      Thank You !
       Pankaj K.

Hello Pankaj,
By setting the unique records option, you pretty much are letting the system know to not check the uniqueness of the records using the change log and the ODS active table log.
Also, in order to avoid the problem where you are having dual requests which are getting activated at the same time. Please make sure you select the options "Set Quality Status to 'OK' Automatically" and "Activate Data Automatically" that way you would be having an option to delete a request as required without having to delete the whole data.
This is all to avoid the issue where even the new request has to be deleted to delete the duplicate data.
Untill and unless the timestamp field is available in the table on top of which you have created the datasource it would be difficult to check the delta load.
Check the table used to make sure there is no timestamp field or any other numeric counter field which can be used for creating a delta queue for the datasource you are dealing with.
Let me know if the information is helpful or if you need additional information regarding the same.
Thanks
Dharma.

basham,
You didn't mention which type of DBMS you are using (i.e. Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, etc), but in a nutshell using MS SQL here is the principle. Your time that is recorded in the records is dependent upon a setting in your RDBMS. For instance, the RDBMS can use the machine time (which would most likely be local time), or it can use the machine time with an offset (to accomodate GMT, for instance). GMT is factored differently based upon your time zone (and time of year, i.e. DST or EST, etc). I'm on the east coast so right now my offset is GMT - 5, so if my time right now is 1457, then GMT is 1957. To get SQL to compute an offset you must take the number of hours to offset and divide by 24 (24 hours in a day) and add that to the record in the database. For instance, to get GMT right now I would use:
select cast(getdate()5/24. as char(12))rtrim(convert(char(12),getdate()5/24.,8))' GMT'
Hope this helps. If you're on Oracle, then the mathematical principles remain the same, just the formatting will be different.

How to Avoid overlapping data label values in Pie Chart

Hi,
I am facing the problem when the data is more my pie chart data label value is overlapping.
I tried with showing outside the data label value but customer is not accepting ,and i used the CollectedPie option also but still its overlapping .So please any body knows how to resolve this problem as i need very urgent basis.
Regards,
HariKan
HariKan

Hi HariKan,
Per my understanding that the Category group of the pie chart which will retuen many values so that the label will overlapping and you want to know is any method to deal with this kind of problem, right?
In Reporting Services, when enabling data label in par charts, the position for data label only have two options: inside and outside.
In your scenario, I recommend you to increase the size of the pie chart if you insist to choose the lable inside the pie chart as below:
If you choose to "Enable 3D" in the chart area properties and choose to display the label outside, the label's layout will be more clear:
Reference:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to avoid double extension *jpg.tif when exporting layers to files?

Please help, I checked all the topics related and it seems nobody bothers about this issue.
When I do a Photomerge of a series of jpg files, Photoshop builds a multilayered file - but preserves in the name of each layer *.jpg
When I want now to export layers to files, the Scripting function will do the dumb thing and export each file with the original name - ending in JPG - , plus the extension required by me - for ex tif.
It does the same if I chose to export as jpg files and puts double extension again < *.JPG.jpg> at the end of each file exported from a layer.
I looked everywhere and couldn't find a way to solve this behavior, which forces me to do batch renames in Bridge.
The next program where I need the files (After Effects) doesn't want to import these files with double extensions.
Has anyone encountered this issue and what can be done to avoid these double extensions at Scripts/Export layers to files?
Thanks for the answer

I have just altered my script so that it will remove the extentions if found.
http://www.scriptsrus.talktalk.net/Layer%20Saver.htm
Also it would be better to use :-
var layerName = activeDocument.activeLayer.name.replace(/\....$/,'');
As this way it doesn't arbitory remove the last four characters, only if it finds a fullstop.

Data Grid, how to avoid unintentional data manipulation

Hi,
Is there a option to avoid unintentional writing in the data grid ?
And if not, please implement such a toggle button for Security reasons.
Andre

Hello K.
thank you for interesting in and care about my mental health.
I'm alive and kicking.
But if I follow your logic the developers of TOAD must have a real big (mental) problem.
They are obviously that kind of paranoid that the say:
“Our data grid is protected always against data modification as long as the user does not explicitly put the rowid to the column list to undoubtedly make clear that they want to manipulate some data.”
I asked them if this is really needed, because in SQL Navigator there is just a simple button to toggle between RW and R only (What I definitely prefer) .
And the said YES – to avoid unexpected / accidentally changes.
Do you find that still strange?
If yes these guys must be more ill then the two of as can imagine.
But I’m very sure that they are alive and kicking too.
By the way - one of my questions remained unanswered:
Did you ever analysed other tools to pick the best feature of them in order to implement they into your tool?
If not, believe me you should. It is worth the effort.
Otherwise it is quite possible that you will take an unfounded amount of time till you will have reached a equivalent level.
Or do you want to be behind the others for eternity?
If you had the task to develop an new car would it ever come into your mind to build it with without a backward gear and simply to wait until someone requests something like that.
Some (useful) standard has been set before you came up.
What about a little less self satisfaction and a little bit more respect.
That’s my advice for you (also) beyond the sqldev tool .

Andre
