How to restrict the data with Filter in Query - Updated the description

Hi all,
Free Characteristics: u2018Service Orderu2019 & u2018Statusu2019.
Key Figures: u2018Response Timeu2019 & u2018Data Record Counteru2019.
Calculated Key Figure: u2018Resp Time > 1 hru2019.
Only u2018Plantu2019 is in ROWS and u2018Resp Time > 1 hru2019 & u2018Data Record Counteru2019 are in COLUMNS section.
The report looks like the below:
Plant---Resp Time > 1 hr -
Data Record Counter
100--1--
2
101--1--
3
After dragging the u2018Service Ordersu2019 from u2018Free Characteristicsu2019 , the report looks like the below:
Plant---Service Order -
Resp Time > 1 hr ---Data Record Counter
100--111--
1
100--120--
1
101--130--
1
101--141--
1
101--150--

I want only records whose u2018STATUSu2019 is u2018Yu2019. The u2018STATUSu2019 is u2018Blanku2019 for Service Orders 12, 13 & 15
and those records should not be there in the report.
The report should be like the below:
After dragging the u2018Service Ordersu2019 from u2018Free Characteristicsu2019, the report looks like the below:
Plant---Service Order -
Resp Time > 1 hr ---Data Record Counter
100--111--
1
101--141--

After creating the Restricted KF u2018Countu2019 on u2018Data Record Counteru2019 by restricting u2018STATUSu2019 to u2018Yu2019 and
dragging the u2018Service Ordersu2019 from u2018Free Characteristicsu2019, the Count shows ZERO :
Plant---Service Order -
Resp Time > 1 hr ---Count
100--111--
0
100--120--
0
101--130--
0
101--141--
0
101--150--
0
If I keep the Filter (globally) on 'STATUS = Y' then it returns 'NO Data'.
If I keep the u2018Service Ordersu2019 is in u2018Rowsu2019 and the Filter on u2018STATUSu2019 (u2018Yu2019) then it works fine, but the report should be based on PLANT.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gurus,
Thanks for u r all prompt replies...
Got the Solution...
Actually no need to work at query level...
iN Multiprovider.... we can select the WBS element Char for which ever cube data we want... just drop down the char in to the dimension which we need and R/click the Char select identification of participating char.. un-select the check box for char WBS element for the Cubes which we dont require the data......
Thanks to all
Cheers

Get the data with more than one of the desired value

Hi,
I need to pull the records with more than one value of 'Other' on the delivery days fields.
The delivery fields are mon,tue,wed,thu,fri and sat that tells the where the item will be delivered. The value can be Home, Work, or Other.
Here is the Sample data:
cust_id: 123
item: newspaper
mon: Home
tue:Work
wed: Other
thu: Home
fri: Other
sat: Other
And here is my query so far.
select
cust_id,
item,
mon,
tue,
wed,
thu,
fri,
sat,
sum(case when (del_mon = 'O' or del_tue ='O' or del_wed ='O' or del_thu ='O' or del_fri ='O' or del_sat='O') then 1
else 0 end) as day_ctr
from customer
Could you please help me with the right formula I need to get this?
Thank you in advance..

First
DESC customer
Second
Can you explain what you are trying with
sum(case when (del_mon = 'O' or del_tue ='O' or del_wed ='O' or del_thu ='O' or del_fri ='O' or del_sat='O') then 1 else 0 end) as day_ctr
Third
Usually it's helpful a example of the result you want...
Perhaps you want this
select DECODE(mon,1,(select distinct mon from customer), 'OTHER') mon,
        DECODE(tue,1,(select distinct tue from customer), 'OTHER') tue,
        DECODE(wed,1,(select distinct wed from customer), 'OTHER') wed,
        DECODE(thu,1,(select distinct thu from customer), 'OTHER') thu,
        DECODE(fri,1,(select distinct fri from customer), 'OTHER') fri,
        DECODE(sat,1,(select distinct sat from customer), 'OTHER') sat from
select
COUNT(DISTINCT mon) mon,
COUNT(DISTINCT tue) tue,
COUNT(DISTINCT wed) wed,
COUNT(DISTINCT thu) thu,
COUNT(DISTINCT fri) fri,
COUNT(DISTINCT sat ) sat
from customer

        byte[] data = signature.sign();
        byte[] ciphertext = bobCipher.doFinal(cleartext);Run the code again, the output is
Error: java.security.InvalidKeyException: No installed provider supports this key: com.sun.crypto.provider.DHPrivateKey
What's wrong with the code, It seems that the bob's private key is not instance of DSAPrivateKey but DHPrivateKey.
what's your comment? thanks a lot.

thank sabre150 for your reply. But the key pair is generated when I use DH to exchange the secret key. Yes! It is a DH key pair and cannot be used for signing. The DH key pair can only be used for secret sharing.
If I can not use this private key to sign the data, what can i do?Do I have to generate another key pair for signature? In that way, I will have two key pair. Yep. You can generate a DSA or an RSA key pair to be used for signing.
Because I use http protocol to exchange the key to get the shared secret key, Yep.
If I generate another key pair, how can i send the public key to server? Since public keys are 'public' then you can send them in the open to anyone you like. In fact, if you don't publish your public keys then they are pretty much a waste of time. The biggest problem one has with public key is proving 'ownership' - if someone sends me a public key how do I know that the sender is actually who they say they are?.
I am confused.Some reading might help. A pretty good starting point is "Beginning Cryptography with Java" by David Hook published by Wrox.

How to restrict a table with its set of data based on a column value in it?

Hi,
I have a scenario in which I have to show a set of data of a pivot table by restricting data based on a column value. I am creating BIP report whose source is from BIA ie.RPD. Based on a column value I want to restrict the data being displayed in the table. Since I also want the hidden data in the first table to be displayed in another table in the same report I cannot restrict the data at the query level i.e at RPD or at BIA. For this reason I used
<?xdofx:if saw3_ = 1?>
the pivot table
<?end if?>
But it does not restrict any data.
Also I tried using the if condition inside the table before the row level looping happens. But no good show even then.
How can I forgo this problem?

The MM

How to read data with different XML schemas within the single connection?

I have Oracle 11g database
I access it through jdbc:oracle:thin, version 11.2.0.3, same as xdb.
I have several tables, each has one XMLType column, all schema-based.
There are three different XML schemata registered in the DB
I may need to read the XML data from several tables.
If all the XMLTypes have the same XML schema ,there is no problem,
If the schemata are different, the second read throws BindXMLException.
If I reset the connection between the reads of the XMLType column with different schemata, it works.
The question is: how can I configure the driver, or the connection to be able to read the data with different XML schemata without resetting the connection (which is expensive).
The code to get the XMLType data is textbook implementation:
1 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
2 String result = null ;
3    while(resultSet.next()) {
4 SQLXML sqlxml = resultSet.getSQLXML(1) ;
5 result = sqlxml.getString() ;
6 sqlxml.free();
7 }
8 resultSet.close();
9    return result ;

It turns out, that I needed to serialize the XML on the server and read it as Blob. Like this:
1    final Statement statement = connection.createStatement() ;
2    final String sql = String.format("select xmlserialize(content xml_content_column as blob encoding 'UTF-8') from %s where key='%s'", table, key ) ;
3 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery( sql ) ;
4 String result = null ;
5    while(resultSet.next()) {
6 Blob blob = resultSet.getBlob( 1 );
7 InputStream inputStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
8 result = new Scanner( inputStream ).useDelimiter( "\\A" ).next();
9 inputStream.close();
10 blob.free();
11 }
12 resultSet.close();
13 statement.close();
14
15 System.out.println( result );
16    return result ;
17
Then it works. Still, can't get it work with XMLType in resultset.On the client unwrapping XML blows up when trying to switch to different XML schema. JDBC/XDB problem?

How to submit the Data with Business rule auto executed with VBA in excel?

Anyone knows how can I submit the data into planning with the business rule auto executed in planning?
Currently, I am using HypExecuteCalcScriptEx () + HypSubmitData() in my program that auto executed the business rule prior saving the data into planning.
However when it try to run HySubmitData(), the Business rule window pops up again and ask user to run the business rule again.
Therefore, is there a way that I can submit the data with auto execute the business rule?
many thanks, highly appreciate !!!!!!

Hi Rafeek,
One solution is to set the column width after manually or programmatically refresh the PivotTable, for example:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
End Sub
Another option is to set the column width, then protect the columns from been updated by the user, before refreshing the PivotTable, unprotect the worksheet. For example:
Public Sub LockColumnA()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
ws.Columns("A").Locked = True
ws.Protect "123"
End Sub
Public Sub UnprotectWorksheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Unprotect ("123")
End Sub

How to Restrict Master data in value help screen for a user???URGENT

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement.When a authorized user logins to view the report, he should see only list of customers assigned to that user in the value help screen, instead of displaying whole master data.and the data is displayed perfectly fine for the authorized sales rep. By default, Value help screen displaying all the customer numbers.
How can I restrict in the value help screen?
Any help appreciated with points.
Regards,
PNK

Hi Chandran,
I got that Idea too. I created a authorized customer, I created a authorized Object and assigned to a role.But in the role, when I am changing the object to generate profile, it is asking to select list of customers from the customer table.If the customers are always constant then this would work, but in my scenario, customers for the sales rep changes over time and when I ever reps open the query, they should see updated list of customers assigned to them only, as we update the master data everyday from source system and that shud reflect in the value help.
I am trying User Exit to achieve this, but I am not getting proper ideas how to do this.
Any Help on this issue with user exit code???
Thanks in Advance

How i can give date in each input for applying the exchange rate in Query.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement to create some currency conversion queries. In the selection screen user should be able to give four inputs. Like given below
Input 1.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 2.         a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 3.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
Input 4.          a) key figures
                        b) Fiscal Year
                        c) Fiscal Period
                        d) Exchange Rate Type
                        e) Date (Exchange rate will be applied which is applicable on the given date)
So we will have 4 key figures in the query results with the exchange rate applied on the given date.
I will make four restricted key figures and make the query. I do not know how i can give date in each input for applying the exchange rate.
Please give your suggestions to resolve my problem.
Many thaks in advance.

You can not bring the key figures in the selection screen for the currency translation. Instead you can apply a currency translation type to respective key figures in the query definition.
The currency translation type can be defined in RSCUR transaction, where you can maintain the parameters like Exchange Rate Type, Exchange Rate Date etc.
You can refer one of my article on this at
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/600157ec-44e5-2b10-abb0-dc9d06ba6c2f
Hope this helps.

How can I find out the date of a movie I am trying to pre-order if the date is not available/showing in the "manage pre-order" section?

How can I find out the date of a movie I am trying to pre-order if the date is not available/showing in the "manage pre-order" section?

Thanks so much for your reply King_Penguin. No, sadly there is not indication of the expected release date on the film, it's no where to be found. I have also tried to look in other places online, but no luck. I guess your latter statement jives more with my situation, that being the studio/rights-holder hasn't feel inclined to provide the date.

I just bought a brand new iPhone 4s from a Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3gs onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address that isn't mine!

I just got a brand new iPhone 4S on a contract from my local Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3GS onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address (hotmail) that isn't mine! My old phone has NEVER had any Apple ID other than mine log into it, and the new one's a sealed box that I've opened and set up from scratch. Can anyone please explain this? I'm worried there's some kind of problem with my iCloud data being mixed with someone else's or something... Since I logged in with my own ID, it's downloaded the data perfectly fine, but I just got the Apple ID prompt again a moment ago with this same hotmail address in it... I'd be very grateful for any explanation!

In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.

i did this with the if_ixml interface and rendered the content in a file 'D:\usr\sap\IFD\DVEBMGS01\log\TEST_out.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://....">
</OpenSearchDescription>
BUT the document attribut(?) encoding="UTF-8"?> is missing!
How can i add encoding with value UTF-8 to the document object?? it should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
*here is my coding.
TYPE-POOLS: ixml.

                             value = 'http://....' ).
*rausrendern in file
lo_ostream = lo_streamfactory->create_ostream_uri( system_id = 'D:\usr\sap\IFD\DVEBMGS01\log\TEST_out.xml' ).

                                        document = lo_document ).

Thanks for help

Use the following code:
set an document encoding
l_encoding = l_ixml->create_encoding( character_set = 'UTF-8'
                                        byte_order = if_ixml_encoding=>co_none ).
l_success = l_ostream->set_encoding( encoding = l_encoding ).
create a xml renderer
l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( document = l_doc ostream = l_ostream ).

How to fetch the Date column(or Month column) from the file name from the specified path in ODI 11g

Hi ALL,
Can any one help us regarding How to fecth the Date column(or month column) from the file name specified in the path in a generalized way .
For example :
file name is :subscribers (Cost) Sep13.csv is specified in the below path
E:\Accounting\documents\subscribers (Cost) Sep13.csv
here I need to fetch the "Sep13" as a Date column in the ODI 11g in the generalized way.
Can any one help us in this case as early as possible.

I would suggest using a piece of Jython code for this. Something like this...
import os
import os.path
filelist = os.listdir(E:\Accounting\documents\)
for file in filelist:
datestr = file[19:-4]
You'd need to work out what to do with datestr next... perhaps write it to a table or update an ODI variable with it.
Hope this is of some help.

I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken. How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.
