How to count the number of records retreived through a query?

Dear All
I want to find the total number of records retreived for a particular query .
does BW provide any internal count function , which can solve my requirement??
if yes, please provide some details.
Thanks.
Regards,
Pandurang.

hi pandurang
when u see the contents of a particular cube
RSA1->Infocube->manage->contents
there is a option "Output number of Hits"
An extra keyfigure is created displaying the number of records rolled up
Aggregating the column might just solve ur issue
Try

How to count the number of files read through sender file adapter

Hi ,
I have a scenario where I am reading files from a third party system and trying to send those files to R/3 system .The frequency is 1 file per day .But there can be situation where the source system can put 2 to 3 files in source folder and so XI sender adapter will pick up all the 3 files at time . And I want to send only 1 file at a time to r/3 .
Do you know any way to handle this requirement ?
Thanks ,
Suvarna

Hi,
Like Bhavesh pointed out, you could EOIO as the Quality of Servie in the sender file adapter.
But I guess this would solve your issue only to a certain extent.
Marking this QOS in the sender file adapter would only mean sequential processing of the files. That is, the second file will be sent only when the first file is successfully received by the end system.
It would not ensure that the files are sent only after 15 mins of the first file is sent.
If the 15 mins time period is important, then this needs to be achieved using a BPM which ensures that the messages are sent to the target only every 15 mins.
In case, the frequency of the incoming files is not known (in which case, the having a BPM would be a bad idea) you could use a ztable, which stores the filename and time the file was sent to the R/3.
You could query this table each time, before sending the file data to the R/3

How do I count the number of records returned in the CMIS query

How do I count the number of records returned in the query CMIS?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ora:t:IDC:GlobalProfile WHERE ora:p:xRegionDefinition = \'RD_PROJETOS_EXCLUSIVOS\''}
Euler Homero

Hi Euler,
interestingly enough, the reference guide for CMIS ( http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/CMIS_Query_Language ) that I found does not mention the COUNT function at all. On the other hand it states that: "The SELECT clause identifies which virtual columns to return in the result set. It can be either a comma-separated list of one or more queryNames of properties that are defined by queryable object types or * for all virtual columns."
There are, however, some other posts like e.g. http://alfrescoshare.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/count-the-total-number-of-documents-in-alfresco-using-sql/ which state that they could make it working.
Having asked in the WebCenter Portal forum, I assume that your content repository is WebCenter Content. The CMIS doc for the Content is available here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e15813.pdf (no COUNT there either). It does, however, mention explicitly that "CMIS queries return a Result Set where each Entry object will contain only the properties that were specified in the query.". This means your could rather investigate the Result Set. Note that there are also other means than CMIS how to get the requested result set (e.g. calling a search service directly via so-called RIDC).
In the given context I am also interested what your use case is. OOTB CMIS in WebCenter Portal is used, for instance, in Content Presenter, where it is content rather than "parameters" what's displayed.

How to find the number of records per months in cube

Hi,
how to find the number of records per months for my all cubes?
Can i use the ListCube transaction to find totl number f records per cube monthwise ?
Jimmy

Hi,
Here is a program to generate no of records and list of ODS and Cubes in Active version.Schedule this program in background and create a cube to load this information and schedule to the data from the file generated by the program. Schedule this all per you requirement.
1.Copy the code into your Z<programname> from Se38.
2.change the FILENAME in CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' in the program to the location from where you can pick the information to load data to cube(eg Application server).
3.Save program.
4.Schedule the program in background as required
5.Create cube with infoobjects to hold no of records and Infoprovider name
6.Load this cube based on event after the program job is done.
Hence you can report on this cube to see no of records in CUBE or ODS in your box.
Please find the code below.

How to find the number of records in ods?

how to find the number of records in ods?
Pls suggest the solution apart going to the table of ods and seeing the number of records.
Is there any program or function module to see the number of records in ods?
For eg: SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS is a program which gives the detail (number of records) of infocube.

Hi,
I was looking at this and found the following tables that may be of help.
One of these tables will include a summary of the record count of all the tables in your system based on the last time each table had it's database statistics calculated:
DBSTATTADA
DBSTATTDB2
DBSTATTDB4
DBSTATTDB6
DBSTATTINF
DBSTATTMSS
DBSTATTORA
We run on an Oracle database so the table record counts can be taken from DBSTATTORA. Type in AZ in table selection field in SE16 to restrict the output to ODS (or DSO) tables only.
The record count is at the time indicated in the timestamp field. Obviously this is not real time but should not be too out of date - if it is you may be having performance issues and should get your DBA / Basis to run a full refresh of DB stats.
Hope this helps, alhtough not real time the table should give you a decent indication of the size of all your ODS objects (or any other table for that matter!)

How to calculate the number of records in Multiprovider

Hi Experts
I have created a report based on the multiprovider (Consist of Cube and ODS)
I need count the number of records inside the multiprovider, how can i do it in the reporting level
Regards
Santosh

Hi,
You can use calculated key figure with replacement path variable.
Follow This:
1) From the context menu of the Key Figure directory, choose New Calculated Key Figure.
2) From the context menu for the Formula Variable, choose New Variable.
3) Choose the Processing type as Replacement Path.
4) In the next screen, select the Characteristic Info Object based on which the number of documents is to be displayed in the report (For example: Document Number / Order Number).
5) Choose Next.
In the Replace Variable with drop down box, choose Attribute Value.
In the Attribute drop down, select Characteristic Reference (Constant 1).
6)Choose Next.
On the Save Variable page, an overview of the settings made for the variable will be displayed.
Confirm the entries and Choose Finish.
7) If the Formula variable is directly assigned to the Calculated Key Figure, a warning Calculated Key Figure is not defined correctly will be displayed while executing the Query.
8) Properties of Calculated Key Figure dialog box, assign a Technical name for the CKF.
9) set the Time of Calculation to After Aggregation.
Hope this will help you.
Cheers,
DK

How to count the number of rows in a resultser object?

hi there
how to count the number of rows in a resultser object which may contains millions of rows? besides using a while loop? thanks

You don't, you execute a query whose result is the record count of those records that match the search and then you execute the actual query to create your record set. Typically you do
select count(id) from YourTable where [filter]
from the resulting ResultSet do
int res.getInt(1);
which gives you the count and then
select id from YourTable where [filter]
to produce the actual result set.
in the second query the id part can be substituted with the actual fields you want.

Count the number of records between two key values (BTREE)

How can I count the number of keys between two values?
I'm using python driver, and BTREE access method.
====>
ideally what I want is to average a whole time-series data set (the intervals can change) to a given number of points. The keys are the time stamps and the values are the data that needs to be averaged. I need to count the number of records between two time stamps so that I can divide that number by the number of points i need, and average the data. What is the best way to do this? Or should I just keep the intervals for the time stamp constant and use RECNO access method?
Thank you
(first post btw.. and why aren't there many people in stackoverflow who answer Berkeley DB questions?)

BDB is an embedded db and it does not have any internal counters or statistics that you could grap to use for this. You will need to do it manually.
You can create a cursor, grap the records you want, each time you get the next record you bump a counter.
If you are using RECNO, you can use a cursor to get the record number of the record (DB_GET_RECNO), and if all you data is in
sequentail records with no missing records you can figure out the total count by take last rec # - initial rec # + 1 to get a total count.
If you switch over to the SQL API, you can issue a SQL query to give you a count. Select count(*) Where .......
Since you have to grab the data anyway, then best may be to count records as you go along.
thanks

How to set the number of records displayed at run time

Is it possible to set the number of records displayed block property at run time? The built-in 'GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY' can retrieve the number of RECORDS_DISPLAYED. But I can't find SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY to set this property. Is there anyway I can set this property programmatically? Thanks for any suggestions!

Bookmark Go to End
goal: How to vary the number of records displayed in a block
programmatically
fact: Oracle Forms Developer
fix:
Block property 'Number of Records Displayed' can not be changed during runtime
using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY. However, it is still possible programmatically change
the visual appearance of the form so that it creates effect of changing this
property. To achieve such an effect follow these steps:
1. in Forms Builder, in the multirecord block define the new set of items.
The simplest way is to copy/paste the original item and rename created item.
2. set properties of these new items so that they are the same as the properties
of the original items. If these new items were copied from original items
then properties are already the same. Modify following properties
'Database item' on new items to value 'No'
'Synchronize with item' to the value of the original item
'Number of Items Displayed' to desired value.
'Visible' to 'No'
In other words, these new items are mirrors of original items.
3. code event, which is meant to trigger the change in block appearance.
This code should use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in to set properties
like 'VISIBLE', 'ENABLED', 'NAVIGABLE', 'UPDATE_ALLOWED' and others
to desired value for items which are about to be displayed, then
move cursor to one of these just displayed items with GO_ITEM built-in
and then hide the previously displayed items.
Example:
Assume that the block is built on SCOTT.DEPT schema. Following will
change the set of displayed items
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',visible,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',enabled,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',update_allowed,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdeptno',navigable,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mdname',navigable,property_true);
set_item_property('dept.mloc',navigable,property_true);
go_item('dept.mdeptno');
set_item_property('dept.deptno',visible,property_false);
set_item_property('dept.dname',visible,property_false);
set_item_property('dept.loc',visible,property_false);

How to count the number of wins?

I have a tic tac toe simulator that simulates a game of tic tac toe (obviously). I press the 'play' button, and 1 random X and O is placed in 9 of the labels. Then the application says if X or O wins, or if the game was a tie/no winner. So,
what I want to do is when I click the 'exit' button, I want a message box telling the user how many times X won, O won, and how many ties there were. I am not too sure how to count the number of wins.
-Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I could be wrong, but I do not think that is exactly what I am looking for. Here is the code that I have that determines the winner:
switch (checkWinner())
case 'T':
winnerLabel.Text = "It was a tie!";
break;
case 'O':
winnerLabel.Text = "O Wins!";
break;
case 'X':
winnerLabel.Text = "X Wins!";
break;
private char checkWinner()
char WinnerChar = ' ';
int winning_line = 0;
if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[1]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[2]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[3].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[3].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[5]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[3];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[6].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[7]) && GameBoardCellChar[6].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[6];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[3]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[6]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[1].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[1].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[7]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[1];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[5]) && GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[2];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[0].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[8]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[0];
winning_line++;
if (GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[4]) && GameBoardCellChar[2].Equals(GameBoardCellChar[6]))
WinnerChar = GameBoardCellChar[2];
winning_line++;
if (winning_line == 0 || winning_line > 1)
WinnerChar = 'T';
return WinnerChar;
Do I have to include something extra in here to get the count or no?
The code I posted is the coding in my play button.

END LOOP;
Thx in advance.

Hai,
Add a Non database item to that block, and set the Calculation Mode as Summary, and Summary Function to Count.
Then u will get the total no of records from this text. ( You can hide this, so that the use won't see it. )
OR
go to the Last Record, then
LV_CUR_ITM :=:SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD; This will also work.

Manu.

Returning the number of records retrieved by a query

Hi everyone,
I did a search on this question, but I'm still unclear as to why it's so difficult to retrieve the number of records returned by a query.
What is the easiest and most straight-foward way ?
Thanks,
Bob

I am confused. I still do not know how to achieve the count of records retrieved in a block. I have viewed the viewlet calculated field demo. I am unclear of what you were refering to when you said use the count as the function.
I did try setting function to be "get_block_property('myblock',query_hits)", but this always had value of zero. But I do not think this is what you meant.
Has anybody been able to answer the original question?

Applescript - how can I count the number of records in a Word data source?

I have written a script in AppleScript to open Word and then perform a mail merge from a data source and everything is working fine.
One thing I want to do but am struggling with is to return the number of records in the mail merge.
I am trying things like:
get last record of datasource of mydatasource
and also haven't been able to find anything in the AppleScript 2004 Word Reference Guide.
Can anyone help as I have been searching the web and trying things all day and I am sure it can't be difficult.
Thank you.

I don't think there is an automatic way to get a line count, but I don't have any problem just counting the lines on a page. Maybe some more information about what you are trying to do and why you can't do it would help someone to come up with a helpful suggestion.
