How to count the occurance of the data entry on OBIEE answers

Hello guys
I have one report that contains a column call type. In the report that I am creating, there are 200 rows in that column, but there are really just 4 types of call type; "A,B,C,D"
So in my report it looks like this
Call type other dim and fact
A
A
A
B
B
C
D
D
D
D
Now I need to add one more column said call counts, which needs to count the occurance of each call types:
Call type count others
A 3
B 2
C 1
D 4
So how would I be able to achieve this on answers? I used "count" function on "count" column, but it is counting all the rows without distinguishing the call type
Please let me know
Thanks

Hi,
Looks to me like this should be a measure within the RPD rather than something you try to do at the presentation level. Any simple "# of <x>" measure will work like you describe, it should just do a simple count on something unique in the table and have an aggregation rule set, OBIEE will then automatically group by this in your report by distinct call type without you having to do anything complex.

How to solve "error occurred in the data manipulation engine"? 64bit Windows 7

Hi all
I'm having quite a testing time here trying to use the new SAP PA 2.0. After installation the software launches, the Automated Analytics seems to work fine but not the Expert Analytics.
Steps as follows:
Launch PA
Choose and launch Expert Analytics
Choose Try with Samples
Open the Dairy Wholesaler file
Error: An error occurred in the data manipulation engine. Check the manipulation parameters. (HDB 01001)
I also get this same error when I try to create my own New Dataset.
I’m on 64bit Windows 7 Pro
Is there anyone who knows how to solve this problem. I've searched the SCN and online and have tried the following:
1. Uninstall and re-install. Doesn't help
2. Uninstall and delete old lumira related folders on the C drive e.g. the SAPPA and SAPVI folders on the C drive, then re-install.
Much appreciated if anyone could shed some light on this. I've previously had Lumira working with no issues. I've since uninstalled Lumira, Predictive Analytics, and Infinite Insights (as PA 2.0 is all of this combined)
Regards
Ria

In case anyone has the same problem, I found the the following helpful (taken from Error after upgrading to 1.18 ). The solution is for Lumira however its the same steps for PA2
1. You might want to try a ‘clean’ uninstall / reinstall . After uninstalling, try deleting these folders:
C:\Users\Public\sapvi
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\SAP\Lumira
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\sapvi
In this step I searched for every SAP related file in AppData in the Public, User, and my own username folder under \Users\
2. Next, to launch the application, explicitly click "Run as Administrator" on the install file

Data reconciliation using OBIEE/Answers

Hi
I am new to OBIEE. I am trying to use the OBIEE and Answers for the reconciliation of the accounting entries with transaction data, However This leads to two facts one transaction lines and accounting lines. I can make the transaction lines also dimension. But in such case can I compare the transaction amounts with accounting amounts something like
Transaction Total – Accounting total – difference .
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi
Still I am not ready with complete data model. However I Can explain. we have the customer, transaction types, date , Currency as dimensions. These dimensions are linked to the transaction Fact where we have the transaction amount like Invoice amount for each Transactions, open balance for each TXtransaction. We have another child table to the transaction table called accounting distribution table. Now i can build two differnt star one for transaction as fact and another one as Accounting flex. In such a case in we join both fact in presentationlayer to get the transaction amount and accounting amount compared. Also another question is can we have the both facts in the same schema. Or any other approach?
Thanks a lot in advance

How to show all records (instead of unique records) in OBIEE Answers

I am a newbie of OBIEE and have below question.
The fact table has 3 fields:
ID (Primary Key)
Status (either 'open' or 'close')
Amount
There are 100 records in the fact table. When I drag the column Status into the Answers, the result returned is 2 records, 'open' and 'close'. Thus, seems Answers always returns unique records only.
Can I achieve disabling such Answers feature such that all records will be shown? For above example, can the result returned all 100 records of either 'open' or 'close' ??
Thank you very much.

Hi,
OBIEE is an analytical tool, it is there to help people see the value of numeric facts against one or more textual attributes. With that in mind OBIEE will always aggregate to the highest possible level when returning the results to you. In your case the highest level is status. If you include another column wich breaks the data down further then you will see it aggregated at that level. If you want to see individual records then you need to add a column which is unique for each record, usually you can use the column holding the identifier of the row from the source system, generally this is called Integration Id.
Edit: After reading your post again, just add the ID column in your request and voila.
Regards,
Matt

Column data formatting in OBIEE ANSWERS

Hi,
I have a requirement of putting '-' whenever column value is NULL. I am doing this ANSWERS. I am doing this by using the below.
IFNULL(CAST("COLUMN NAME" AS CHAR),'-').
It is correctly replacing by '-' whenever data is NULL but it is also overriding default data format as Treat Text As(custom Text Format) if you look at the data format tab in the column properties. So if column has data like 23.1 it is displaying as 23.123456667777.
But I want to overwrite custom text format as number format to show as 23.1.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
SRK

I have made a solution for you :
http://gerardnico.com/weblog/2009/04/09/how-to-mix-string-and-number-data-type-in-one-column-and-get-a-sum/

[Question]how to count the occurance of numbers inside the array

im just practicing my java skill but i cant get my program work can you give me guys some idea on how to determine a number that occured more than 1 inside the array e.g i have 10 elements and inside of my offset i have
1,2,5,4,5,6,5,8,9,5
and what im planning to do is count the occurances of the number who occures more than 1 and for that 5 occur 3 times how my program can know that i use for loop but cant figure out how to filter the occurances of numbers inside
my offset
thank's

Encephalopathic you said put - 1 instead i did - 2
public class sample
   public static void main(String args[])
      int num[] = {2,2,2};
      int index1, count = 0, find = 0;
      for(index1 = 0; index1 < num.length - 2; index1++)
         for(int index2 = 0; index2 < num.length; index2++)
            if(num[index2]==num[index1])
              find = num[index2];
              count++;
         System.out.println("i found " + find + " " + count + " same number inside your offset");
}output is:
i found 2 3 same number inside your offset
but another question is what if i want my program to tell the other number that occur 1 time
like this:
i found 1 2 same number inside your offset
i found 2 0 same number inside your offset
i found 1 2 same number inside your offset

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

What else must I do to force data entry other than making the field required in LC 9 Forms Designer?

I am trying to make sure that fields are populated with data prior to moving to the next field, but it seems that simply making the field required is not sufficient. What else must I do to enforce data entry within required fileds?
Thank you,

There are a variety of scripting techniques that can be used based upon the form requirements, UI aesthetics, designer preference,... The script below forces data entry into a text field object called 'tf1' but it is a dangerous practice and should be used carefully. You may find yourself in a infinite loop based upon the tab order. A safer pattern includes global field validation upon submit.
// form1.page1.subform1.tf1::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.isNull) {
xfa.host.messageBox("tf1 is a mandatory field.","Text Field 1 Error",0);
xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page1.subform1.tf1");

Make Item of Data Entry Form Insert Only, Non Updateable

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to make an item on a data entry form insert only and not updateable. The user can enter the text item in insert mode but cannot update the text item in update mode. This was really simple in Oracle Forms, hoping it is as simple in APEX.
Thanks

I think that's too much of the wrong information.
It sounds like you have multiple forms. Are they Modal or Non-Modal?
What code do you use to call the form that's not working?
Does it work initially and then stop working?

Apple Maps - How long does it take for a new entry to be approved?

Like many other small business, my listing is missing in the new Apple Maps app and customers are having difficulty in finding me on their iphones.
Last Friday I attempted to add my business using these instructions - http://www.didgeroo.com/blog/41-tips-tricks/282-how-to-add-your-business-listing -to-apple-maps I also added a listing to Yelp.
It's almost a week now and my business still does not appear when searching Apple Maps. My Yelp listing is there, but nothing in Apple Maps.
Has anyone had any luck adding their business to Apple Maps? How long did it take to appear after you submitted a report?
I guess there must be a huge backlog at Apple. Would be nice if the process was more transparent - e.g. details of the approval process would help.

I'll take a look. This is pure speculation - I am guessing that the department store updated because there were enough signals from other data sources that confirmed your change. For example, I believe Apple's primary source of business listings data in Switzerland is TomTom. If you search for Globus in Zurich in TomTom at https://mycompany.places.tomtom.com/ there is a result for the address Theaterstrasse 12 zurich - http://places.tomtom.com/de_ch/detail/globus/zurich/63747953026467150.
So perhaps Apple was getting signals from other data sources that conflicted with TomTom and signaled "EPA". And your update overrode all of the other signals because it matched the TomTom data. BTW, not sure this means anything, but there are two listings for this business in TomTom. One of them links to the wrong website I think https://www.google.com/search?oq=site%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&q=si te%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&pws=0
Of course, it could have been any number of other screw-ups as well
You may want to search all of the known data suppliers and Google for queries like "epa Theaterstrasse 12 zurich" to try to find the out of date data sources. If you find any let us know, as this will be a key "paper trail" to figuring out how Apple gets some of it's data.

HR data entry folks can maintain their own records

HR data entry folks can maintain their own records. This was discovered recently during a security review. This is a huge segregation of duties and SOX issue. How can we restrict the access of HR data entry clerks so that they can't maintain their own records?

Hi,
Structural authorization need not be present in your system for using object P_PERNR, auth object P_PERNR works with simple position based security(personnel number has to be assigned to each user and PA infotypes restricted via object P_ORGIN) as well. P_PERNR restricts access to infotypes/subtypes maintained for one's own personnel number.
The object field PSIGN is used to restrict this access. PSIGN= I means one would have access to certain infotypes and their subtypes( specified in INFTY and SUBTY fields of the object) for own personnel number and PSIGN= E means no access to those infotypes and subtypes for self. Also, PSIGN= * is equivalent to value I.
You can activate this object via OOAC/ table T77S0 as specified in above post.
Hope this clarifies.

CAT2 Data Entry Screen

In CAT2 sheet 3 columns are in Display mode. Column names are namely 1. Project 2. Project Description 3. Project Subobject
I tried field selection through CAC2 (1 of the SPRO setting) through Data Entry Section and kept the filed as "Input", eventhough i cannot see it editable.
Anybody having idea ?
Regards
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
The project definition field cannot be an input field....since we cannot post our hours there.
Use the WBS field ..this can be a input field. and you can keep the Project definition field as a display field. When you enter your Wbs element , this project definition also would get filled.
regards
Sandeep
