How to create specific time members

Hello,
Cube: ASO, Version 9.3
I am trying out to figure out a way to create and load scenario members like "Yesterday" and "Last Week". I get my data from a flat file so I can't use SQL to format the load data.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

would need more detail on your source data to fully understand your issue, but in general you could try using substitution variables in your load rules. You could also try to leverage UDA's or member name aliases.

[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 create countdown timer with sound

Any ideas on how to create a minute and seconds countdown timer that would play a sound and then redirect you to another page?

Hi,
There is no out of the box solution to do so in Muse at the moment. If you can get your own code, you can add it to your site using "Insert HTML" feature.

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

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 specific Frames

Hi,
Using Style and Create Frame I know but some specific frame How to create any one have Idea Please Share.
Please find the Attached file have Some specific Frame types.
Thanks
Dhiraj

You want to know how to make those specific frames by hand?
You can find lots with just straight filmstrip tutorials and even some film strip templates...probably images of real ones for that matter... that can be used if you do a Google search. Same goes for the other frames.
The tutorial I have linked below is using Photoshop. With the exception of doing the transform<warp step, everything can be done using elements. There are other tutorials that build a more detailed filmstrip but I like this one because it shows how to make a wavy filmstrip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhLbGleU-iY&feature=related
Since transform warp isn't available in Photoshop Elements, you'll have to use the displacement filter (filter<distort<displace) to make the filmstrip wave if desired.
Above is the displacement map, I made to make my film strip wave. This was made by filling a layer with black and painting a couple of white lines with using the brush tool with a soft wide tip. I duplicated this layer and saved it as a PSD on my desktop. Displacement maps must be in PSD format. I used this map along with these settings: 0 hoizontal; 50 vertical; stretch to fit; repeat. Note: You must have soft edges to get a wave effect with this filter. If you use hard edges this filter will cut instead of bend.
Filmstrip images are some CG art I created.
Frame made using the tutorial.
Warped with displacement filter using the displacement map of two blurred lines.
Added a perspective by using free transform as in the video along with a hand made drop shadow to ground the filmstrip. Background was also cropped.
Final step was to simplify (rasterize) the gradient fill layer that I used over my background layer. I added a little noise with Add<Noise to my simpified (rasterized) gradient fill layer to get rid of the gradient banding.
Playing with a different perspective angle because it's kind of fun. Some of the shadow is lightly masked to make it fade a bit where the strip rises.

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 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 create Union Time Pool using accruals ???

Hi,
My client has a unique requirement of creating a Union Time Pool i.e. at the begining of each year the client will have 'X' amount of hours assigned to the pool. Employees under Union Contract will then be eligible to take any leave hours from that time pool as long as they are approved by there supervisor. Now, if we create an element pertaining to the special leave based on Time Pool, then an entry can be made at timecard level and the number of hours remaining can be determined.
But, this pool is not employee based hence the Hours remaining calculation for the Time Pool is irrespective of any assignment rather its organization/GRE based. How do we implement this using Accruals?
The client wants to view the balances in the Time Pool within the system. How can that be achieved?
I understand Accruals Caculation and balances is totally assignment based, how can that be made for GRE/Organization based?
Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ujjal

Hi,
This is a really interesting scenario.. what are you trying to do
1. Find a place where the common pool details can be entered at the start of the year
2. The accrual process should deduct from this pool
3. On accrual balance for the union should be displayed.
let us evaluate what are things that cannot be used
1. Elements can be initialized as the leave pool is for a group of people whereas elements are for an assignment
2. Balances cannot be used for same reason
so what are the options that we have..
1. Store the pool in a lookup that can be created based on a bg or gre (use dff) and use the date fields of the lookup to simulate date track feature in HRMS. This way you would be able to enter values for every year for every bg / gre. Also enable another dff segment to store the balance leave in the pool. This field can be hidden.
2. You can refer lookup in the accrual rules and evaluate the pool for processing the leave
3. Customize the form / page to display the remaining pool from based on the person's detail and the lookup. This customization could be complicated instead you can maintain a dff in person/ asg table and write a custom process that will populate the pool balance for all people.
This one of the suggestion I can give you.. there could be other options that you can evaluate.. but its not going to be simple..
I hope this helps you.

Vikash

How to create a time table by Automator

I want to create a new calendar by using Automator. It is a time table.
In the time table, there are Day 1 - Day 6.
For example,
https://files.me.com/lawhei/442uc1
so on.
It starts from 1/9/2010 and end on 1/7/2011.
h represent holiday, no event needs to be created. The date of holiday is provided by the school.
The problem that I am facing now is I can filter out the holiday but I don't know how to pass the dates to next action. The provided iCal actions are suck. How can I write my own action? Or do you guys have any suggestions for me to create such calendar?

I just want to check I understand your issue.
You have 1 WebI document which has 2 objects on it. One is a table and the other is a graph of the same values.
You are linking to the graph using openDocument. However, you want to pass values from tableA (selected row values) into the graph.
Is this correct?

Alan
