How to calculate number of data records in a XML output file

Hi,
After generating a XML output file from Oracle Reports, I want to calculate number of records in the XML file. Is it possible? Specifically, I want to calculate number of records for a group variable ( organization_id, which I use for bursting).
Thanks for the help.

Thanks BIPuser. It is useful for me.
I can use this xsl function within the template. However, I'm also looking to print this in the concurrent request log file. So, outside of rtf template, id there any PL/SQL based XML functions I can use to count the number of records.
Thanks.

  • How to restrict number of Data Records from Source system?

    Hi,
    How can I restrict the number of Data records from R3 source system that are being loaded into BI. For example I have 1000 source data records, but only wish to transfer the first 100. How can I achieve this? Is there some option in the DataSource definition or InfoPackage definition?
    Pls help,
    SD

    Hi SD,
    You can surely restrict the number of records, best and simplest way is, check which characteristics are present in selection screen of InfoPackage and check in R3, which characteristics if given a secection could fetch you the desired number of records. Use it as selection in InfoPackage.

  • How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files?

    How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files?  So far the only options I have found are to increment the output file name or fail.  From the explaination of file increment I would have expected overwrite to be the alternative.  We work daily with the same file(s) on an hourly basis and convert via watch folder to over a dozen file types and network mapped destinations.  Re-using the same file name is critical to the final project (updating website content). Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Has there been any updates on overwriting output files in CS6? This would be extremely helpful.

  • How to calculate number of days from a date field

    Dear BW Experts.
    I have a field 'Create Date' in the BEx query. Now we need to create a variable which should give the number of days from the date of running the query (sy-datum) to the Create Date.
    This will help the users to get records which are say, 30 days old (Sy-datum - create date = 30) or 10 days old etc.
    Could you suggest as to how to create this variable.
    Thanks,
    Sai

    Hi,
    Step 1: Create variable on "Create Date" with User entry processing type
    Step 2: Create a restricted KF for Sales & restrict it on "Create Date" to get "Sales on day"
    Step 3: Manipulate  the values of "Create Date" on which you could restrict  "Sales" again and again to get other values
    Step 4: Create one variable (ZPUTMNTH) for u201CMonth to Dateu201D with processing by u201CCustomer Exitu201D. This variable was created  on u201CDateu201D characteristics.
    Step 5 : Goto C-mod t-code and use EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001
    to calculate "month to date" user input is "Calday" Key Date
    WHEN 'ZPUTMNTH'.
    IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
    LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
    WHERE VNAM = 'ZPDATE'.
    CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
    L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(6). "low value, e.g.YYYYMM (200606) part of key date (20060625)
    L_S_RANGE-LOW+6(2) = '01'. u201C low value e..g. YYYYMM01 (20060601)
    L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW. "high value = input

    L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
    APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.

  • How to calculate Number of Hours between 2 dates

    Hi,
    I have a Column in a table of datatype DATE i.e. Update_Date. Now How do I calculate number of hours passed starting from this date entered in the Update_Date column to SYSDATE. e.g. if the date in column is 2-FEB-2009 and the sysdate is 2/2/2009 2:07:40 AM it should give me 24. How can I get this number of hours.
    Update_Date - Sysdate = Number of Hours.
    Thanks

    When you subtract two dates in Oracle, you get a difference in terms of days. Just multiply that by 24 to get hours.
    SELECT (sysdate - update_date) days,
           (sysdate - update_date) * 24 hours
      FROM your_tableThat said, it is not obvious how your example works. You state
    if the date in column is 2-FEB-2009 and the sysdate is 2/2/2009 2:07:40 AM it should give me 24Since both dates are on February 2, 2009, the only difference is in the time component. If we assume that the time component of the UPDATE_DATE value is midnight since it is not specified, there is a little more than 2 hours of difference between the two dates. How is it that you determine there are 24 hours of difference?

  • How to calculate number of days in hijri

    Dear all,
    I need to develop a custom report in which i required to calculate number of days in hijri month and also the first and last day of the hijri month. we normally use Last_date(sysdate) function to get the last date of the english calender. but how can we find same for month.
    Looking after for your support.
    Regards,
    Saquib

    Convert to hirjih date using:
    select
    to_char(sysdate,'YYYY/MM/DD','NLS_CALENDAR=''English Hijrah''') hijrih_date
    from dual;
    You can replace sysdate with the date of your choice.
    Also I wrote this for my last project:
    /* get hirjih date */
    FUNCTION get_hijrah_date(
    p_date in date,
    p_date_format in varchar2
    ) return varchar2
    is
    v_hijrah_date varchar2(500);
    begin
    select
    to_char(p_date,p_date_format,'NLS_CALENDAR=''English Hijrah''')
    into v_hijrah_date
    from dual;
    return v_hijrah_date;
    end get_hijrah_date;
    So you can have get_hijrah_date(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual;
    (or any other date formate of your choice)

    Hi,
    If your calculating dates please do not manually calculate it like that.
    You need to determine like week numbers, month and days.
    The best way to do it is by using FM related to dates. Play around with these FMs in your program:
    Function Modules related to Date and Time Calculations
    CALCULATE_DATE  - Calculates the future date based on the input .
    DATE_TO_DAY - Returns the Day for the entered date. 
    DATE_COMPUTE_DAY - Returns weekday for a date
    DATE_GET_WEEK - Returns week for a date
    RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL - Add days / months to a date
    DAY_ATTRIBUTES_GET - Returns attributes for a range of dates specified
    MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES - To get the number of months between the two dates.
    END_OF_MONTH_DETERMINE_2 - Determines the End of a Month.
    HR_HK_DIFF_BT_2_DATES -Find the difference between two dates in years, months and days.
    FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS - Find the difference between two dates in years, months and days.
    WEEK_GET_FIRST_DAY - Get the first day of the week
    SD_CALC_DURATION_FROM_DATETIME - Find the difference between two date/time and report the difference in hours
    L_MC_TIME_DIFFERENCE - Find the time difference between two date/time
    HR_99S_INTERVAL_BETWEEN_DATES - Difference between two dates in days, weeks, months
    LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS - Returns the last day of the month
    DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY - Check for the invalid date.
    DATE_2D_TO_4D_CONVERSION - Year entry: 2-character to  4-character.
    DAY_IN_WEEK  - Input date and will give the name of the day 1-monday,2-Tuesday....
    SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE - Give the difference in Days and Time for 2 dates

  • How to calculate number of employees according to gender

    Now our customer want to calculate number of employees(0HDCNT_LAST) according to gender, expecially for female employee. we know that SAP has gender infoobject(0GENDER), and male with 1 and female with 2.
    1) how should we use infoobject 0GENDER with female information connect R/3 table, and calculate number of employees at the end of one periode or time point? Should we use infoobject 0GENDER in cube?
    2) How to write ABAP code? And what should we do in BW side ? should we do some enhancement?

    Hi,
    you can use 0GENDER in your Cube. If you want to count you can do this in query.
    For counting you build your own calculated key figure (formula).
    Create a calculated keyfigure on global, formula ' =1' . Then drag this newly created global KF to the report column, restrict it with 0GENDER wich is restricted to male or female .
    This would provide a count based on 0GENDER
