How to create a time dependent characteristic

Hi,
Can someone give me steps to create time dependent characteristic? there is a tab for attributes to make them time dependent. I don't know whether we can make the characteristic as time dependent or only the attribute.
Thanks,
Sam

What makes a IO a time dependent char?
The attribute values of the IO change according to the time. meaning atleast one attribute value has to(supposed to) change during the course. So to make a IO time dependent, atleast one of ur attribute values should be time dependent.
IO - change _ attributes - 4th column - time dependent - check that box. that would generate - MasDataTab. timDep - SIDTab timeDepAttr(tables)
simple saying in real time - cost center ABC's manager is XYZ from 06/19/2007 to 06/19/2008. So the manager (attribute of costcenter) has to be time dependent.
Hope that makes it understandable. In essence the costcenter itself never changes but the attribute values do change.

Time dependent characteristic

Hi,
In our query we have time dependent characteristic "Employee last name".
Our user wants to generate query on the employee list who was changed their last names. Here different employees has been changed their last name in different times.
Please specify in detail that how to define the query.
Regards
Sunil

if its a one time query then open the master data view in se16 and download employee / from date / to date / last name
download it to excel and analyze it.
If this is not a one time query.. then you have to build a way to save this in a ODS and make a query on it.
its not possible to go across time in a regular report as the key date takes only 1 date at a time.
Award points if you find it useful.

[CS3 JS] How to Create a Timer?

Within InDesign I need to be able to fire a periodic process to examine links from a JavaScript script. I have my own script running in its own engine.
I can't figure out how to create a timer that will run in the background and call the appropriate callback function periodically.
I've created a little process like this:
* Sleeps for waitTime milliseconds then calls the callBack function.
function timer(callBack, waitTime) {
$.writeln("timer(): callBack=" + callBack + ", waitTime=" + waitTime);
if (waitTime == undefined) waitTime = 2000;
$.writeln("timer(): sleeping for " + waitTime + "...");
$.sleep(waitTime);
$.writeln("timer(): awake, calling callBack");
try {
return callBack();
} catch (e) {
$.writeln("timer(): Exception from callBack.exec(): " + e);
return undefined;
function myCallBack() {
return Window.confirm("Callback called", true, "Continue looping");
while (true) {
if (!timer(myCallBack)) break;
And this works in the sense that my timer runs, but it runs as a blocking process, which is not what I want.
Is there something I'm missing or is this simply not possible in CS3 JavaScript? A search on "timer" in the InDesign forums didn't reveal anything, nor did the InDesign JavaScript Guide nor the Scripting Tools Guide.
Thanks,
Eliot

1. Download and install Active Page Item Developer Toolkit.
http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/indesign-downloads/active-page-item-developer/
You'll have a demo period for 20 days or a month, I don't remember exactly.
2. Create a new document, open 'Active Page Item Developer' panel (Windows menu).
3. Copy the script from my previous post, draw an object - e.g. a rectangle and with the object selected enter 'idle' into Event Filter field, then press Tab and paste the script into the largest field.
You'll see an alert appearing every 10 seconds and the cursor flickering.

How to create a Time Dimension

Hi
This is regarding a new topic which i could not find the answer in this forum.
Actually i want to create a time dimension to populate my source data which is in date/time format.
can anyone please reply back reagrding how to create a time dimension in ODI???
regards
Gourisankar

Hi Gourisankar,
I am not aware of time dimension. But when i searched in metalink i got the below note. I am not sure whether it will help you or not but still a small contribution. :)
The note as follows,
To create new time dimensions, run the following SQL instructions :
* Example to generate a calendar between 1999-01-01 and 2007-12-31 one row per day
SELECT to_date('1999-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')+rownum
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY
ROWNUM<=to_date('2007-12-31','YYYY-MM-DD')-to_date('1999-01-01','YYYY- MM-DD');
* Example for generating a calendar random number
SELECT DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY ROWNUM<=1000000;
May be you can create a VIEW out of this query ,reverse it and use that as a source in your interface.
Try this and let me know.
Thanks,
G

How to Display Time-Dependent Characteristic Data In Query

Hi Experts,
   I have encountered a problem. I want to use Time-Dependent Chart. And want to display different value according characteristc's valid from time. For Example,
The Characteristic 0COSTCENTER has the navigation attribute 0COMPANY, The data as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A
BW2305              20070501   99991231     B
I want the report can display as :
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A                  1000
BW2305              20070501   99991231     B                  2000
But when I set the query's key date 20070420, the report display as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     A                  1000

when I set the query's key date 20070520, the report display as:
0COSTCENTER   Valid from   Valid To       0COMPANY AMOUNT
BW2305              20070101   20070430     B                 1000

Can anybody tell me how I can get report expected.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1) Add the characterstics 0COSTCENTER ,0DATETO,DATEFROM and 0COMPANY to the cube.
2) And also add these 4 IOs to the Communication structures which has update rules with the concern cube.
3) I hope , you already have 0COSTCENTER in the Commnication structure and mapping for that infoobject at both Update rules and Transfer rules.
4) Leave to the Blank(no mapping) mappings for the IOs 0DATETO,DATEFROM and 0COMPANY in the Transfer rules.But make 1:1 mapping in the Update rules for these 2 infoobjects.
5) Write the below code in the strt routine of the Update rules:
TYPES: BEGIN OF type4.
      include structure like /BI0/QCOSTCENTER.
TYPES END OF type4.
DATA:
ITAB4 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TYPE4
       WITH HEADER LINE
       WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 0.
SELECT * FROM /BI0/QCOSTCENTER INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS
OF TABLE ITAB4
WHERE OBJVERS = 'A'.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE.
     READ TABLE ITAB4 WITH KEY COSTCENTER = DATA_PACKAGE-MATERIAL
DATETO LE DATA_PACKAGE-PSTNG_DATE
DATEFROM GE DATA_PACKAGE-PSTNG_DATE.
              IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
                DATA_PACKAGE-DATETO = ITAB4-DATETO.
                DATA_PACKAGE-DATEFROM = ITAB4-DATEFROM.
                DATA_PACKAGE-COMP_CODE = ITAB4-COMP_CODE.
              ENDIF.
              Modify DATA_PACKAGE.
endloop.
ABORT = 0.
Here I assumed you have Posting date in the Communication structure and used to map to Fiscalperiod of the cube.
6) Do the Master data upload to Cost center and active the master data of it always before uploading the data to cube.
7) Do the uploading to cube from Sratch.

Display Time-Dependent Characteristic in 2different date columns (HR-data)

Hello.
I want to create a specific Query on a Self-defined HR-HeadCount cube. On this Cube I have Employee-number + characteristic values per month (e.g. PayScaleArea). Month is my most granular level.
The Query I want is the following :
     04.2006     05.2006
Employee/PayScaleArea
20184     5B     6
20230     3     4
20295     6A     6B
(5B, 6, ... are PayScaleArea's e.g. 5B is Manager)
I have already filtered on the Employees who got a promotion between 04.2006 and 05.2006 (=Month.Year). And now I whish to see the PayScaleArea listed of these Employees under 2 column headers April+May .
If this was a keyfigure this would be standard but for a characteristic I can't get it to work. I've already tried working with formulas (replacement path)
The problem is that it always displays like this :
              PayScaleArea
                  3     4    5B    6    6A    6B
Employee
20184
20230
20295
(which is realy bad)
Or
Employee/CalMonth/PayScaleArea
20184     04.2006 5B
20184     05.2006 6
20230     04.2006 3
20230     05.2006 4
20295     04.2006 6A
20295     05.2006 6B
(this is correct, but not verry readable, having it in 2 columns makes it easier to compare who promoted to what)
Note: I have PayScaleArea directly in the Cube and also as time-dependent attribute on Employee => the attribute has the problem that I can only report on one key-date per query (which is specified on the header of the query) so combining multiple queries in a workbook would also be a (less desired) workaround.
Can you help me ?
Kind Regards, Carl.

Hello,
I'm affraid you do not understand my question. You mention here one of the two 'workable' solutions (the other one being 2queries on different tabs each for a different month and then combining the 2queries on a third tab)
The report layout does not look good in this txt format so I will split it up using my original example:
The Query I want has three columns :
1) Employee
e.g. :
20184
20230
20295
2) The PayScaleArea's of Month -1 (e.g. : 04.2006)
e.g. :
5B
6
6A
3) The PayScaleArea's of current Month (e.g. : 05.2006)
e.g. :
6
4
6B
If PayScaleArea would be a keyfigure then I could just put Employee in my rows and month + PayScaleArea in the columns and it would work perfect... but it is a characteristic and therefore it does not show up next to the employee in this case.
In a sense this is logically since BW does not know that there is only one characteristic value PayScaleArea per month and per employee.

How to create automatic timer process in BPM?

Can anyone tell me how to create an automatic timer process in BPM?
Can I just create an manual process, and drag the timer event into the swam lane, can connect the timer to the service and then to the end event?
Thank you

Hi,
You can make use of Global Automatic activity to kick off your process at a particular time. Place a Global Automatic activity in your process and right click on the Global Automatic activity and select Properties --> General --> Global Automatic Type: Automatic Schedule, Automatic Schedule: <Configure with your requirement>.
Else you can make use of due transition/timer activity to get your task done.

How to create a time counter without using Sleep()?

I want to create a time counter that would count from 120 minutes and down. I thought about using Sleep() but I have found out that Sleep() is not accurate (so maybe the countdown would take 122 minutes instead of 120 minutes!). What other alternatives do
I have?
Note that I want to count 1 second at a time, because I want to show the countdown progress to the user in seconds.

The next experiment still uses Sleep and waits for approximately 12 seconds, displaying the time each second. However it is probably too overcomplicated compared to time polling:
const
int SECONDS_TO_WAIT =
12;
ULARGE_INTEGER ul_end;
FILETIME ft;
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime( &ft );
ul_end.LowPart = ft.dwLowDateTime;
ul_end.HighPart = ft.dwHighDateTime;
ul_end.QuadPart += 10LL *
1000 *
1000 * SECONDS_TO_WAIT;
for( ;; )
FILETIME ft;
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime( &ft );
ULARGE_INTEGER ul;
ul.LowPart = ft.dwLowDateTime;
ul.HighPart = ft.dwHighDateTime;
if( ul.QuadPart >= ul_end.QuadPart )
break;
SYSTEMTIME st;
FileTimeToSystemTime( &ft, &st );
Sleep( 1000 - st.wMilliseconds );
GetSystemTime( &st );
if( st.wMilliseconds >
500 )
FILETIME ft;
SystemTimeToFileTime( &st, &ft );
ULARGE_INTEGER ul;
ul.LowPart = ft.dwLowDateTime;
ul.HighPart = ft.dwHighDateTime;
ul.QuadPart += 10LL *
1000 *
1000;
ft.dwLowDateTime = ul.LowPart;
ft.dwHighDateTime = ul.HighPart;
FileTimeToSystemTime( &ft, &st );
// show the time
SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime( NULL, &st, &st );
printf( "%02i:%02i:%02i\n", st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond

How to create a time counter

Hello expertsl,
I have a new challenge on board.
I have a form that is automatically popped up. Now on the form, i need to insert a timer that as soon as it pops out, the timer starts and then i have to enter some data in the form and as soon as i press the save button, the timer records the time count and then stores it in a table.
Any suggestion are the most welcome...
Thank you

As Hoek said, this is not a Forms forum.
However, the problem is not really unique to Forms and a timer itself is not needed.
A timer is a kernel object that fires at specific intervals and each time around executes a callback routine. This allows one to update or process at specific intervals.
You do not need a timer as you are interested in time elapsed - which means that on the creation of the form you need to get the current time. When the save button is clicked you again get the current time. The data that you are interested in is the time difference between these two.
Remember that timers are expensive objects to create ito kernel resources. Some operating systems limit the total number of timers that can be created. In general, it is not a good idea to create a timer unless it is the best technical solution for the problem. And you do not need a timer determine a time elapse. You simply need code in the constructor of the form and code in the save events of the form. Nothing more.

How to create a time event without having user interface freeze

Hi,
I am new to labwindows and i am trying to create a time event where every hour for 24 hours i want my program to write somethign in excel.
I tried using function Delay and SyncWait and those functions freezes up the user interface.
Any tips/help will be appreciated.
Thank You
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Many, if not most, CVI developers wind up implementing a delay function for themselves that periodically, during the delay, wakes up and processes events so that the GUI isn't frozen.
The idea is to break the wait or delay up into pieces, and process system events in between each piece.
A timer works too, you can try the async timer that Wolfgang mentioned, it runs a bit better and on a separate thread, so it lets you do what you normally would with the main thread and the GUI, yet still get timer function. If you use a smart delay, you still wind up doing nothing a great deal of the time, and events are only processed periodically.

How to use a time dependent attribute as a replacementh path in a Bex

Hi friends,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use time dependent attribute as a replacementh path inside the Bex Query .
For example in master data I heve like following records
                       material value    date from                   date to
                           AA       12        01.01.2000               01.01.2002
                           AA        15       02.01.2002                01.01.2005
And on transaction if I have data like
material callday             salesquantity
AA         01.04.2000           50
AA         01.055.2004         100
I want a report output like
material       Calculated value
AA              2100( 50*12 + 100 * 15 )
Thanks for helps
Regards
Erkan

Thanks for your reply Anil ,
We are using the progress that you mention at the moment , but sometimes data needs some corrections on factors which had been loaded inside the cube. It is not possible to correct those values inside the Cube later. So I need a solution on time dependent attribute with replacementh path . Then it will be available for corrections on master data .

Erkan
