How to change the Data Foundation for an existing Business Element

My Issue:
I have quite a few reports that use the same Business View. The Business View has an under lying Data Foundation that uses a Dynamic Data Connection (DDC). I no longer want to use this DDC because production users are complaining they do not want to have to select a data source each time (multiple times when the report includes sub reports) they run/refresh their reports.
The Holy Grail:
I would like to change the Data Foundation that my Business Element layer is built upon and use another data foundation with identical tables, linking, and fields. The new data foundation would be using a production connection. This solves my immediate issue and has a great side benefit of providing a convenient way to promote reports from development to stage/test, to production and would not require production users to have to select which environment they want their report to run against.
I am logged in to BVM as administrator:
When I look at the Business Element layer Property Browser, I see a Data Foundation Property but is is disabled (such that it can not be changed).
Is there a way to change the Data Foundation that is used by an existing Business Element layer ?
I'd appreciate any help that someone can offer on this topic. Even if it is not possible and someone can shed some light on why this would not work or would not be a good idea, I'd be interested in learning

Technically No the system will not allow you to change as it is involved with many depreciation areas and change is not permitted for control reason.
You only need to retire the asset, reverse the postings, assign correctly and repost the values.

How to change the table's for an existing report

Hello,
How can I change the table names for reports created with a different table name? for e.g If I created a report which included a table called "2009_10_example", How can I change that table to a different table "2010_10_example1".
I am using Crystal reports 2008, and the reports were created using Report Creating Wizard.
Thanks,
Abhishek

In the Database Menu, there is an option Set Datasource Location. This allows you to pick a table from the current tables used, and select a table to replace it with. Press the Update button, and Crystal will swap one for the other. If the field names and data types are all the same, it will automatically change all references throughout the report to the new table's fields.
May I suggest that your tables are set up improperly if you have to change report code to run it for different months? The data should all be in one table with dates, and parameters to select the date range to report on. (That was said in the spirit of helping...)
HTH,

How to change the date considered for taxing purposes?

Hello All,
In the preparation for the new tax rate in Québec, I need to configure the system to consider two dates in order to proporly select the TVQ rate. The change date as well as the current and the next rate were already set in FTXP. But when I try to make a payment the rate is taken according to the invoice date.
The regulation requires it to be the earliest of (Due Date) and (Payment Date). How can I configure that?
Thank you in advance,
Guilherme

I had a wrong assumption... Invoice date is good for this purpose.

How to change the date and time during OVM installation for Fusion Apps

Hi,
The customer is using Fusion Instance which is a V1 (Build 19) OVM installation shipped by Oracle with Demo Data (including seeded user IDs and roles) in it.
Now they have issue with Date format for the application on the screens is showing MM/DD/YYYY where as it should be (Singapore) Standard is DD/MM/YYYY.
Q/A: How to change the date/time in OVM image

Not a problem. There are a number of other system and network setup commands that you might find useful at some time. From within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
networksetup -help
systemsetup -help
That will give you lists of the commands, including the one I posted above, with their basic syntax. They're handy to know.
Cheers.

There are JS forums at webdeveloper.com and dynamicdrive.com. Good luck.
String formatPattern = "yyyy-mm-dd";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatPattern);

How to change the Display Pattern for Decimal Fields dynamically

hi all,
Can any one help me how to change the display pattern for decimal fields dynamically???
Currently I am using z,zzz,zzz,zz9.999 Display pattern for Quantity Field. If the value is blank it is displaying as 0.000 on the Screen. But I don't want this to be printed.
Please help me how to solve this ASAP.
Thanks,
Prabhu

Hi,
Alternatively you can handle it in the context.
In the context area, click on the quantity. In the bottom, click on the conditions tab, and put a condition
<quan field> NE initial.
So the field will not be printed if there is no value.

How to change the package name for a msg class

Can anybody tell me how to change the package name for a message class.
and how will it effect in the rerport?
thanks in advance
kp

>>and how will it effect in the report?
You wouldn't see any direct effect on the Report.. But if you transport the report to QA & leave the Message class in Dev, it might result in syntax issues & you will not be able to execute the report. Just ensure that both of them get transported to QA & you will be fine.

How to change the Data sources after deploying the application ??

Hi All,
i want to know how to change the Data sources after deploying the application to the application server ???
I'm using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0)

Can you access the Enrprise Manager website of the target Application Server from your location? If so, you can change the datasource in it. If not, yo can bundle the datasource definition in your archive and use that one instead of the one configured in the target OC4J container. Or this will just be the responsability of your customer: whenever you send a new WAR file, they have to modify the datasource if needed and deploy the application?

How to change the account setting for App Store

Thanks,

once you sign out just click sign in and put the new email address in the "Username" field and your correct password then click OK
it will look like it is doing nothing but give it time and it will sign you in with the new username.
is it possible you have multiple itunes accounts?
when you changed your itunes account from your me.com to your gmail.com address did you change it within the itunes Edit Account Info ('Store' menu then select 'View My Account', then sign in , select edit account info) or did you just create another itunes account?
