How to repeat data with Data Merge?
How can I repeat data in the same text block with Data Merge? I have an Excel file with a class schedule that I need to import but when I use Data Merge, it wants to create a new page for each line. I want to keep the data in one text block per page and use Data Merge so when I get the new Excel file, it will be easy to update. This seems like it would be a simple thing to do, but I can't find the answer. Can anyone help?
Time for me to sound like a broken record. Data merge could be used for this but I don't think it was ever intended for such recurring publications like you are making. There will always be a lot of repetitive work that always will need to be performed after each update.
Instead, I think you should read up on using an XML workflow. Now, the XML out of excel needs transformed to be viable inside ID. But that is reasonably easy and can be done in an XML editor or upon importing into ID. Though it has been set aside for a time, I am making an example of a college course catalog for a customer. I'll see if I can finish it off by the weekend. If so, I'll post it to this thread.
Take care, Mike

How to use Count with Date Parameters
Hello,
I am having issues using the Count() function in conjunction with date parameters.
This is a Siebel report and in my report I have 2 date parameters(From Date, To Date). In a nutshell I am basically trying to count Opportunities that has a start date within the given date period. However I don't see a reasonable way to put my date parameters within the Count() function. The reason being is that I need to have a huge chunk of code to convert the dates into a common format that can be compared, and it won't even fit within the code block in my rtf template. I am not even sure how to put multiple conditional statements inside a Count() function since all the examples I have seen are very simple.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to use Count() with date parameters?
Thanks.Any chance you can get the date formats in the correct format from siebel?
I don't know Siebel - so I can't help you with that. If you get the correct format it is just
<?count(row[(FromDate>=date) and (date<=ToDate))?>
Otherwise the approach would probably need to use string function to get year/monthd/day from the date
and store it into a varialbe and compare later the same way
<?variable@incontext:from; ....?>
<?variable@incontext:to; ...?>
<?count(row[($from>=date) and (date<=$to))?>
Potentially you can use the date functions such as xdofx:to_date to do the conversion
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T481158.htm]
But I am not sure if they are available in your siebel implementation.
Hope that helps -

Performance question when compare date with date or char with char
Hello from Germany (Frankfurt) !
I am working on Oracle 9.2.0.8.0
and have to solve following problem:
Comparison of a date and char fields.
Now two ways to do it.
Either I compare char with char and convert date to char,
or I compare date with date and convert char to date.
Now the performace question. Which operation takes more effort for the database?
So why not to try and to see the results?
First create table:
CREATE TABLE TEST (
char_date VARCHAR2(8),
real_date DATE
NOLOGGING;
Then insert 1.000.000 rows
BEGIN
for x in 1..1000000
loop
insert into test (char_date, real_date) VALUES('19990101', TO_DATE('2006.01.01', 'YYYY.MM.DD'));
end loop;
COMMIT;
END;
Collect statistics
EXEC dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('TESTER', 'TEST');
Now run some selects for date to char conversion:
Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
SQL> select * from test t where TO_DATE(char_date, 'YYYYMMDD') > real_date;
no rows selected
Elapsed: 00:00:03.02
SQL> select * from test t where TO_DATE(char_date, 'YYYYMMDD') > real_date;
no rows selected
And some selects for char to date conversion:
Elapsed: 00:00:03.02
SQL> select * from test t where char_date > TO_CHAR(real_date, 'YYYYMMDD');
no rows selected
Elapsed: 00:00:02.05
SQL> select * from test t where char_date > TO_CHAR(real_date, 'YYYYMMDD');
no rows selected
Elapsed: 00:00:02.05
SQL>
As you see when I compare char with char and convert date to char it seems to be faster (almost 1 second)
Is the test correct?
I still not sure, what gets better performance...
Any idea?
Thanks!Depends on whether you want the right results or not.
Why don't you run the following two queries and see if the difference in results tells you anything?:
with t as (select to_date('01/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') date_col from dual
union all
select to_date('02/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual
union all
select to_date('03/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual
union all
select to_date('03/03/2006', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual)
select *
from t
where date_col < to_date('04/03/2006', 'dd/mm/yyyy');
with t as (select to_date('01/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') date_col from dual
union all
select to_date('02/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual
union all
select to_date('03/02/2007', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual
union all
select to_date('03/03/2006', 'dd/mm/yyyy') from dual)
select *
from t
where to_char(date_col) < '04/03/2006'; -

How to populate DataGird with data returned from php page?
Hi, I'm new in Flex, I try to populate DataGrid with data from PHP, My code is

</ mx:HTTPService>
<mx:DataGrid

</mx:DataGrid>
private
function getPerson(evt:ResultEvent):void { var res:XMLList = evt.result..dane as XMLList;searchResults =
new XMLListCollection(res);
output from PHP
<person>
<dane>
<name>ABC</name>
<street>XLXXLX</street>
</dane>
<dane>
<name>DEF</name>
<street>YAYAYAY</street>
</dane>

If I set the dataProvider as "searchResults" it doesn't work. I probably have to set as dataprovider any ArrayCollection , but I don't know how to convert my XMLListCollection to it.
Could anyone help me populate Datagrid with

ABC, XLXXLX
DEF, YAYAYAY

Excel 2013
i got an XML file generated by the GPinventory tool. when i import it into Excel, i only get the headers.
how can i import the data as well?Hi,
As far as I know, the GPinventory tool Supported Operating System :Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, I suppose it generated XML file with Excel 2003 schema, but Excel 2013 have a new XML schema. This issue usually caused by the XML scheme.
Please create a Excel 2013 schema XML file
to test with Excel 2013, if the file could be import well. We'd better check the generated XML file.
As a workaround, we'd better save the results as
a tab-delimited text file and then import to Excel 2013.
If this issue still exists, please upload the XML file through OneDrive. I want to test it.

George Zhao

How to move tables with data from one client to another
Hello friends
I have 2 clients 001 and 002.
I have created a table with lots of data on client 001.
I have to get the same table on 002 also with the same data.
Is there an easier way of transfering this data from one table to another?
I would appreciate any feedback on this.
I know that mappings etc., can be done using the export and import of tpz file. So I want to know if there is any similar thing to transfer a table with data.
THanks
Ramhi
thanks for the response
We are working on a sandbox system for demo purpose.
Actually we have two different group of people using two different clients created on the same server.
Our group is using client 001 and another group is using client 002.
We don't want the changes that one group does to the table to affect the other.
Our group has created a z-table and have entered considerable amount of data.
However, the other group also need to create the same table with the same data.
So to avoid double work, we were trying to see if there is a way to copy the table with data created on 001 to 002.
Any suggestions / feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Replacement of FORECAST DELIVERY DATE with DATE OF FIRST RECEIPT
Please help me in my scenario below and post your valuable comments-
My Scenario is like -
For example, In REPORT, For the item 10 of the order 4700035361 our FIRST RECEIPT DATE is in march (14/03/2011) and FORECAST DELIVERY DATE is in december (30/12/2011). This purchase order item was completely received.
Requirement is like---
Associated cube is ZCUIMP01.
(1) The evolution will consist of replace the FORECAST DELIVERY DATE with FIRST RECEIPT DATE of the item.
(2) The period (Fiscper and Fiscyear) will also be modified.
(3) Hence the calculation of the YTD will take into account the order and its receipt date.
(4) The adjustment of the history will be necessary for the year 2011.
Can anyone suggest, from where i should start my analysis (Should it be Infocube level??).
What will be the approach to fulfill all the above mentioned requirement (Should we think about Remodeling concept for creating new data model, if yes then how to do?).
Please reply asap, it will be great help for me.
My advance thanks to you.
Thanks & Regards
Rupali SinghHi Rupali,
As I understand there is a business change that you need to justify in our report. Unfortunately your explanation of the design has a considerable gap to visualize. In any case, if you need help on to how to approach such a change -
1. Understand the business change, its purpose and its imapct on your current design and the report.
2. Understanding the purpose is very important since you will then be able to find workarounds, redesign as per the change required.
3. Start from the query and check if your replacement of characterisitics with new characteristics can be obtained using functions like Replacement path, attributes, customer exits, etc. Changing a query/creating a new report on the existing model is the most feasible option.
4. If not, try exploring option to keep the design untouched, and creating a new InfoObject/DSO like structure to capture the date modifications, etc which then can be used on a MultiProvider.
Hope the above helps!

Filtering data with date birth
Hi ,
i added a field(date of birth) in Candidate search page in irecruitment through Additional Search criteria DFF..
This search filtering the data whatever date of birth matching record .But i need candidates having date of birth on or before my entered value .
How do i get this ?
Is it possible througd personalization ?
pl guide me ..

kumarduraipandiCan you check if the page uses a query region, if yes then you can enable advanced search programmatically by setting a property on the queryBean. If it is a manual search region then you can add the items through personalization and write code in the controller and AM by extending them. You can do the same with query region simple search panel as well.

Incorrect date with date from Windows ics Files since installing OS X Mountain
since installing OS X mounting the introducing fo dates with windows ics files is 5 month earlier. With iPhone no problem.
I'm having the same problem on my late 2008 MBP 15". Never had a problem before installing Mountain Lion. Now I have to reboot about 4-5 times a week.
My computer doesn't lock up completely. But Wi-Fi stops (you see only one black line on the WiFi icon), the clock stops (I was wondering why it seemed so early earlier tonight - the clock had been stopped for two hours) and many, but not all applications are "not responding". However, if I try to quit the applications that appear to be okay, then they also become "not responding". I have to force shut each application and then I can reboot using the Apple>Restart... command.
One of the things I've noticed is that many times it's iTunes that has the "not responding" message when the other apps don't, even if I haven't used it. I'm going to Quit iTunes and see if it still happens.
I don't think it's heat related. My computer feels no hotter than it ever did.
If 10.8.1 fixes this, I'm okay with it (although it was still sloppy for Apple to release with such a bug.) But the question is whether Apple even knows about it, since they provide no mechanism for non-developers to report bugs.
