How to SIMPLY use the %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variables into logic scripts

hello,
I'm using a prompt of type "COPYMOVE" or "COPYMOVEINPUT". In this type of prompt, there are 2 columns of dimension members list, one for defining the "source zone" and one for defining the "target zone" of logics.
The left colum of the prompt (for source zone) feeds the variables %DIMENSION_SET% : %ACCOUNT_SET%, %ENTITY_SET%, %CATEGORY_SET%, etc...and these variables can be used in the logic scripts in *XDIM_MEMBERSET instructions for example.
The right colum of the prompt feeds the variables %DIMENSION_TO_SET% : %ACCOUNT_TO_SET%, %ENTITY_TO_SET%, %CATEGORY_TO_SET%, etc...and I don't know how to SIMPLY use these variables in the logic scripts.
I've found a tricky way to do that but I meet 2 problems :
- it is complicated
- the multi-info instruction (BEGININFO/ENDINFO) seems to be bugged as blank lines are added all the time in the code and sometimes I have to wait for minutes when I try to modifiy the package code through BPC for excel eData/modify package menu.
So the question is how to SIMPLY get the %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variables into logic scripts and use them ? Thanks, R.
Here is the tricky package code I use at this time (I build one function for each %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variable and I pass these functions to the logic) :
PROMPT(COPYMOVE,,,,"ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,TIME,YEARS")
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,WS-WW\PlauchuR)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,US)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,SV)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV\PrivatePublications\PlauchuR\TempFiles\FROM_1561_.TMP)
TASK(Execute formulas,TOSELECTION,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV\PrivatePublications\PlauchuR\TempFiles\TO_1561_.TMP)
BEGININFO(%FSS%)
*FUNCTION TARGETACCDETAIL=%ACCDETAIL_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETACCOUNT=%ACCOUNT_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETCATEGORY=%CATEGORY_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETDATASRC=%DATASRC_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETENTITY=%ENTITY_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETTIME=%TIME_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETYEARS=%YEARS_TO_SET%
ENDINFO
TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,%FSS%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV
..\AdminApp\SV\_TEST.Lgf)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)

hello,
finally I've discovered that there is no need of BEGININFO instruction.
One can pass several functions to a logic with one FORMULASCRIPT task. The functions definitions have to be separated by instructions. See below :
PROMPT(COPYMOVEINPUT,%FTARGETS%,,"select source and target zone for category and datasource.","ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,TIME,YEARS")
TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,*FUNCTION TACCDETAIL=%ACCDETAIL_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TACCOUNT=%ACCOUNT_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TCATEGORY=%CATEGORY_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TDATASRC=%DATASRC_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TENTITY=%ENTITY_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TTIME=%TIME_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TYEARS=%YEARS_TO_SET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\_TEST.LGF)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
Then one will be able to use the functions TACCDETAIL, TCATEGORY, TACCOUNT,... in the logic script.

    hi,
    you can use the form variable by define the field name like this in ur form:-

  • Calculating FFT using the FFTAverageType variable in DIadem

    Hi,
    I have some doubts about how should I use the averagingType variable. I want to define this variable as "Arithmetic" and get the combined FFT of two trials of the same process, i.e I have two signals which represent the same process.
    What I do is just calculate the FFT of each signal separately. Then I calculate the amplitude of each FFT signal and finally i combine these two signals by doing the mean for each amplitude. I.E if i have signal1FFT = (1 , 2 ......23 ) and signal2FFT = (2,4, ...43 ) the resulting signal should be ( 3/2 , 6/2 ...... 66/2 )
    Am I correct about what this averaging type variable does? When i try to do the same in other mathematic programs I get different results but I don't know exactly what I am doing wrong,
    Thank you so much for the help!

    There are several ways to approach averaging in the FFT environment.
    FFTAverageType is should be "Arithmetic" which means that all FFTs are weighted equal.
    The Exponential averaging is kind of a running average for special calculations which are typically done during a running measurement.
    Much more important is the parameter in "Calculate average from:" (Amplitude or Autospectrum)
    Amplitude is giving a linear result and Autospectrum is giving the result based on squared values. The squared result is the correct result from an energetic point of view.
    Example:
    If you have a sine with a peak of 2 for one second and a peak of 4 for another second, you might want to get and averaged peak of 3.This might be wrong.
    The RMS value of a sine with a peak of 3 would be 2.121.
    The RMS which is representing the energy in a signal is the root of the average of the squared values. The RMS of a signal with half the time 2 and half the time 4 is 2.236. This means, that a sine with the peak of 3.162 for two seconds has the same RMS as the signal with a peak of 2 and 4 for one second each.
    If you average FFTs in DIAdem you need to decide between the linear average (based on the peak Amplitude) and the energetic correct squared average (based on the Autospectrum). Right or wrong depends on your circumstances.
    Usually, other mathematic programs are giving you the choice to decide or they might just use one or the other method.

  • How do I use an array variable in the assignment target?

    Hi,
    I am creating a BPEL process in which I have to use an array variable. The array variable needs to be initialized based on some condition.
    The issue is I cannot find a way to set the value of the array variable. There are ways to GET the value of an array variable indexing into it.
    But how do I set the value by using the Array variable in the <to> tag?
    Any help is appreciated. I am using BPEL 10.1.2.0.2.
    Thanks.

    You can declare a variable of type integer which will server as your index. Figure out based on some condition in your process which index of array to update. Assign to your integer variable you created.
    And have Assign copy operation like this -
    <copy>
    <from variable="Var_Output_FetchDueDate"
    part="OutputParameters"
    query="/ns18:OutputParameters/ns18:DUEDATE"/>
    <to variable="outputVariable" part="payload"
    query="/client:GetCustomerAccountInformationProcessResponse/client:customer/client:accounts/client:account[$Var_Counter]/client:dueDate"/>
    </copy>
    I have been using this in my processes.

  • HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

    I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

    It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
    Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
    If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
    Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

  • How can I use the value returned for a function into the macro ??

    I create a function to work in a macro and I would like to use the value of parameter f_calc_error returned by function in a condition like IF, but I don't know how can I do that. I have to use the macro function CALC_ERROR ??
      Thanks.
    Edson Suzuki

    Hi Edson,
    Yes you need to use the CALC_ERROR macro function to be able to test whether the last macro function returned an error. CALC_ERROR will return an 'X' if there an error occured during the execution of the last macro function.
    You can use a macro similar to the following:
    IF
      CALC_ERROR( )
      = 'X'
          DO SOMETHING HERE
    ENDIF
    Let me explain how this works internally. The SAP system maintains a global variable g_flg_calc_error during the execution of macros in the planning book. The g_flg_calc_error variable will contain the value of f_calc_error that was set by the last macro function which executed. The ABAP coding of a planning book is something like this:
    data: g_flg_calc_error type /SAPAPO/FLAG.
    * SAP will pass g_flg_calc_error variable to all macro
    * functions. When SAP calls a macro function, it does
    * something like this.
    call function '/SAPAPO/MACRO_FUNCTION_HERE'
            exporting
              plob_values      = i_s_adv_plob_values
              sdp_book         = g_c_advf_sdp_book
              sdp_view         = g_c_advf_sdp_view
            tables
              cols_index       = i_t_cols
              value_tab        = l_t_value_tab
            changing
              f_calc_error     = g_flg_calc_error
    As you can see, the g_flg_calc_error variable
    is passed in the "changing" part of the call. The macro  function being called can then use the f_calc_error
    variable to change the value of the global
    g_flg_calc_error variable. In fact, the macro function being called can also check (by looking at the f_calc_error variable) if the last macro function reported an error.  The CALC_ERROR macro function just checks the value of f_calc_error parameter (w/c in fact is the value of the g_flg_calc_error variable) and returns "true/X" if the f_calc_error was set to true by the last macro function.
    Hope this helps in clearing things out

    I am unable to download pictures from my Sony Cybershot to my iMac, I have tried using the USB port as well as simply inserting the memory stick into the slot.  I have been able to do this in the past as recently as a few weeks ago.... Help please..

    Thanks Eric for responding.
    I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
    I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death). 
    One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
    I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
    The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
    Thanks again.

  • Getter/setter methods -- how do I use the return values

    I'm just learning Java, and I haven't been to this site since the end of July, I think. I have a question regarding getter and setter methods. I switched to the book Head First Java after a poster here recommended it. I'm only about a hundred pages into the book, so the code I'm submitting here reflects that. It's the beginnings of a program I'd eventually like to complete that will take the entered information of my CD's and alphabetize them according to whatever criteria I (or any user for that matter) choose. I realize that this is just the very beginning, and I don't expect to have the complete program completed any time soon -- it's my long term goal, but I thought I could take what I'm learning in the book and put it to practical use as I go along (or at lest try to).
    Yes I could have this already done it Excel, but where's the fun and challenge in that? :) Here's the code:
    // This program allows the user to enter CD information - Artist name, album title, and year of release -- and then organizes it according the the user's choice according to the user's criteria -- either by artist name, then title, then year of release, or by any other order according to the user's choice.
    //First, the class CDList is created, along with the necessary variables.
    class CDList{
         private String artistName;//only one string for the artist name -- including spaces.
         private String albumTitle;//only one string the title name -- including spaces.
         private int yearOfRelease;
         private String recordLabel;
         public void setArtistName(String artist){
         artistName = artist;

         yearOfRelease = yor;
         public void setLabel(String label){
         recordLabel = label;
         public String getArtistName(){
         return artistName;

But this is something every new programmer goes through, and I will not spoil the fun. You see, in 3 to 6 months when you have learned much more Java, assuming you stick with it, you will look back at this and be like "what the hell was I thinking" and then realize just haw far you have come. So enjoy that moment and don't spoil it now by asking for what could have been better/ more efficient. If it works it works, just be happy it works.

So you are basically setting anyone up who responds to the post for a trap that could make them look bad when you double post.
    You are setting you getters and setters up right as far as I can tell. Which tells me that I think you grasp that a getter lets another class get the variables data, and a setter lets another class set the data. One thing, be sure to use the full variable name so you should have setRecordLabel() and getRecodLabel() as opposed to setLabel() and getLabel(). Think about what happens if you go back and add a label field to the CDList class, bad things the way you have it currently. Sometimes shortcuts are not your friend.
    And yes, you are using the getters all wrong since you are not saving off what they return, frankly I am suprised it compiles. It works because you don't really need to use the getters where you have them since the CDList Record (should be lowercase R by the way) object already knows the data and uses it in the printout() method. Basically what you are doing in lines like:
    Record[x].getArtistName();is asking for the ArtistName in Record[x] and then getting the name and just dropping it on the floor. You need to store it in something if you want to keep it, like:
    String artistName = Record[x].getArtistName();See how that works?
    Hope this helped, keep up the good learning and good luck.

  • How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

    How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
    Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
    1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
    2. The reason to select a leading check box
    3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
    4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
    Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
    Thanks

    As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
    Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
    Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
    That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
    If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
    Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
    Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

  • Can anyone tell me the how to use the "ducking" process in Logic Pro 8?

    Howdy,
    I've tried following the directions in the manual but I just can figure out the steps necessary to use the ducking process in Logic 8. For those who aren't sure what ducking is it's for instance, when you want a guitar track's volume to be reduced when a vocal track is active. As an example, there is a way to trigger the volume reduction in the guitar track(s) using a compressor in the vocal track. Whenever the singer is singing it automatically reduces the volume in the guitar track. I'm just not sure how to do this. Any help with the steps involved would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Well, the theory is you run say, the mix , through the 'ducker' or as I like to call it, the 'motherducker', then you simply sidechain say, a kick drum. That is to say, you route your kick to a bus or aux channel, preferably routed to a different output, then assign that bus or aux as your sidechain input in the ducker. The theory is that the through signal will duck on receipt of the sidechained kick.
    Frustratingly, this ducker is the buggiest thing since a bug landed on a buggy while loading it into the back of a VW bug. It just doesn't work. well it works for a bit and then stops working. Or the kick comes through the ducker as well. Or some other manifestation of complete crapness. Come on Apple, sort it out - it's the sound that everybody wants!
    Sorry Mark L1
