HR tables nightmare

Hi Friends/Experts,
This is really a silly question from  my "Global security implementation Project"
An issue came up:
How do we access the infotypes in a role , list the infotypes with description for that role
Now this is what I did
1. SE16 - AGR-1251  gives the ouput , filtered  by keyword infty and infoty got the list
2. pulled all the infotyes being used in the HR system with its description
3. wrote a lookup to get the infotype and its description specific to that role
Now the fun part is :
the AGR-1251 does not expand the ranges for infotypes having from(LOW) and to(HIGH) value
so i missed out on many infotypes in range, manual entry is not an acceptable path or solution.
Simple question with no answer available so far is
how do you expand the From and to value to get all the infotypes in range  in the role?
example below(part of AGR_1251)  the low and high column is what I am talking about
FIELD     LOW     HIGH     MODIFIED     DELETED     COPIED     NEU     NODE
INFTY     105          G               O     47
INFTY     167     171     G               O     47
INFTY     194     195     G               O     47
INFTY     207     210     G               O     47
INFTY     377     378     G               O     47
My input is what you entered in role is what you get, anyone with a different approach or idea

The best people to analyse HR authorizations in my opinion are those who understand the data and config. There are a lot of options... so try to work closely together with them otherwise it will be futile.
A little example is P_PERNR. Finding an infotype or range of this can go in all directions and overrides other authorizations. Avoiding ranges is generally good advise anywhere in SAP security....
The executive summary in this case is in the function module HR_READ_INFOTYPE's code if you want to read it...
Cheers,
Julius

  • Newbie Table Nightmare on I.E.

    Hi all. I have just finished a website in Dreamweaver using
    just the design mode. Time was pushing so I haven't got my head
    around HTML yet but it is definitely on my to-do list, especially
    after viewing my site in Exoplorer.
    The site is contains a lot of tables and I designed it on a
    Mac, frequently checking the preview in Firefox and Safari. As soon
    as I was happy with it I launched it (www.coletteali.com) and
    checked it on I.E. 7 on a PC and the layout is everywhere!
    If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this I would really
    grateful. Thanks in advance.

    OK - different pages layout differently - so two initial
    things spring
    to mind:
    To keep the same basic layout - how about doing a template
    for the
    basic layout -
    put
    creating Dreamweaver templates
    into the Dw help system
    to learn more -
    Then
    Instead of having CSS in each file, move it out to a separate
    external
    css file.
    put
    Link to an external CSS style sheet
    into the help system.
    this will get all the pages looking similar and make testing
    and
    maintenance so much easier.
    Then take it from there

  • Looping table cells....... is it possible to loop more than one table cell?

    Hi there
    Hope everyone is doing well
    I have been using the addt looper wizard and it works great.....
    I usually put all the things I want to loop into one cell.... then select all the things and apply the looper.... which works fine....
    But..... it is hard to align all the elements I want to loop
    I have been using transparent gif images to space the loops evenly but when I space dynamic taxt on top of each other there is a large gap.....
    It is a nightmare to get it looking even
    Ok say I want to loop this.....
    A thumbnail
    Product ID
    Price
    It would look like this
    A thumbnail
    Product ID
    Price
    Because I cannot reduce the space between the lines......
    So I would like to place all the different elements in separate table cells and loop them..... I have tried and get really strange results....
    When you look at most online shops, their product pages have a thumbnail image the id, price, description, etc.... all spaced evenly.... and looks like is looped...... So.... how do I do it?
    Is there any easier way to align the things I want to loop?
    Any help would be great

    Hi there
    I seem to have figured out how to loop cells....
    Should have thought of it earliar but anyway
    Was easy....
    Just create a looped (repeat) region and insert a table into the region and edit the table to align all the looped elements easily....
    Cool

  • How do I use shipping rate tables on my listing.

    ok, really having a nightmare on this one. Explanations would be great guys  I have set up a postage policy and I ticked the large/bulky package option. It says underneath specify your shipping in your item description as it removes any further options within the policy settings themselves. If I choose flat rate [same for all] I do get 2 tick boxes at the bottom for international and domestic rate tables so I tick them as that is waht I want to use but because I chose flat rate to get those 2 tick boxes it wants me to add a value which defeats the shipping rate tables really. Other option is self collection which again turns off all other options in the policy page. When I post my item I get the choice of choosing the policy which is set to large bulky packages etc.I can enter dimensions and a weight but the ebay help description suggests I should see the option to tick the rate tables which I do not get. It mentions I cna add more options from within the P&P heading section of the item listing but I do not get that option either. I have buyers which is great news but all of them are asking for me turn on the postage /sighI would love to but cannot get any options at all to tick postage rate table as the postage setting. I have set the tables up for both domestic and international. Any advice would be appreciated as I am pulling my hair out trying to work this out  Cheers all.

    If you are using Flat Rate Shipping to ship large parcels, you are going to be losing money on postage.Here are a couple of Canadian postal codes.V8R 5G8/ K0A 0A6/ A1B 4J6 and for the USA90210/ 20500.Go to canadapost.ca and enter the same set of dimensions and weights for each of those codes.https://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/far/business/findARate?execution=e2s1And save that link- it is ridiculously hard to find.See the differences?  And use METRIC measurements. Canada Post went metric in 1974 and every other measurement will be an estimate.  The Calculated Shipping doesn't show you any tables. Instead it shows your customer how much postage is to his address. You can see this if you go to your listing->Shipping & Handling-> and then enter various destinations. It's automatic. You don't need any table. Certainly not in your listing. BDR-- Buyers Don't Read.Make the customer's job as easy as possible.   

  • Excel Pivot Table not working Office 2013 click to run

    Hi
    I have a user who is having an issue with Excel pivot tables.
    Issue occurs when opening an old excel-file (created with Office 2007) and then saving it with another name (Save As).
    When opened the next time, system gives attached error message when trying to update Pivot with "Alt + F5" command.
    --> For some reason it wants to find something from that old excel file + Pivot is not updated.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Dan Smith

    Thank you George for your reply. The user tried the Analyze-->Change Data Source and this is what was found:
    The original file name was ”Kaiken_syyskuu2014_2.xlsx”. (see the pic below)
    When I have saved it as “Kaken_marraskuu2014”, it seems that all the pivots are still linked to “Kaiken_syyskuu2014_2”??
    In earlier Office version this did not happen.
    This excel file must be updated on monthly basis. There is tens of different pivots, so It would be quite nightmare to update the names for every Data Source one by one, every month (actually it is not possible to type name for the data
    source, ranges/tables have to be selected manually).
    These pivots are not re-created every month. Only the data source gets updated by pressing (Alt + F5)
    This problems is solved if the pivot table data source gets updated also (=source is same than new file name) when you give new name for the file (=Save as).
    I don’t see the point why pivots are still linked to old file, if you have already gave new file name for the entire excel-file.
    I hope you can help.
    Thanks
    Br.

    Any Advice?

    Hello,
    1.) Don't store Types in Tables. It will become a nightmare when you want to query your data any other way then retrieving your object types. Just don't do it.
    2.) A more relational model is much easier. Considering students and subjects is a n:n relation (a student can have more subjects and a subject can have more students) this might look like this:
    SQL> r
      1  declare
      2    cursor cStudents is
      3      with student as (
      4        select 1 student_id, 'test1' name from dual
      5        union all
      6        select 2 student_id, 'test2' name from dual
      7      ),
      8      subjects as (
      9        select 1 subject_id, 'Maths' subject_desc from dual
    10        union all
    11        select 2 subject_id, 'Science' subject_desc from dual
    12      ),
    13      student_subjects as (
    14        select 1 student_id, 1 subject_id from dual
    15        union all
    16        select 1 student_id, 2 subject_id from dual
    17        union all
    18        select 2 student_id, 2 subject_id from dual
    19      )
    20      select a.name name, b.subject_desc subject
    21      from student a, subjects b, student_subjects c
    22      where a.student_id = c.student_id
    23      and b.subject_id = c.subject_id;

  • Dynamic insertion of data in a Dynamic Column in a table

    Hi EveryBody ,
    I have a table where i am increasing the column dynamically . I need to insert data through PreparedStatement Like

                   pst.setString(9,agent_ein);
                   i = pst.executeUpdate();
    But here my column is increasing dynamically, so the above cant be constant as column is incresing . how do i handle the insertion part dynamically.
    Thanks So much . Please help with this .

That maximum number of columns is the least of the problems here.
    The problem is that you are taking data that should be in another table and turning it into metadata instead. That's a mistake because it makes your entire application brittle and it doesn't need to be. It also will make querying your table a nightmare.
    Let's take a look at your solution and then the correct solution.
    Your solution (condensed)
    tblOrder
    id
    customername
    apples
    oranges
    bananas
    cherries
    Sample data (CSV format for the forum)
    1,"John Smith",0,0,0,1
    2,"Jane Smith",1,0,0,3
    3,"Kate Smith",0,2,1,0
    The correct solution
    tblOrder
    id
    customername
    Sample data
    1,"John Smith"
    2,"Jane Smith"
    3,"Kate Smith"
    tblProduct
    id
    name
    Sample data
    1, "Apples"
    2,"Oranges"
    3, "Bananas"
    4, "Cherries"
    tblOrderItem
    orderid
    productid
    quantity
    Sample data
    1,4,1
    2,1,1
    2,4,3
    3,2,2
    3,3,1
    So what's the difference?
    With your design what happens when you want to add a new fruit? Your schema changes and all your code breaks. With my design you simply insert one row and that's it.
    And what happens if you do happen to eventually need more than 250 odd fruits? With your design you are screwed. With my correct design it's never going to be a problem.
    And consider that with my design you can populate user inteface components using actual data and not table meta data.
    And the list goes on... the point is the only correct solution is to use a proper relational design.

  • Sorting tables in Numbers 3.2.2

    I’m part of a friendly badminton league and I’m in charge of keeping track of the standings for the league.
    I compile each week’s results in a scoring sheet (FEUILLE DE POINTAGE in the picture below), which help me sort players according to various statistics.
    I was sorting the players according to the MPM column when I realized that something was quite amiss… In the picture below, you see one of the tables before sorting:
    As you can see, Karine Larouche’s MOY value is the result of PTS / PJ (each cell has PRESERVE ROW and PRESERVE COLUMN «activated»). But when I sort the table according to the MPM column (which works), here’s what I get:
    The MOY cell doesn’t point to the right values! And this is happening to the entire spreadsheet: values get garbled and mixed up as soon as I try to sort stuff!
    I seem to miss something and I just don’t understand what is going on…
    What I want, essentially, is that when I sort those tables according to various columns (MPM, then TPM, then PG, for example) values for each player stay «locked up» with that player (Say, Karine Larouche’s MOY stat is using her PTS and PJ values [as in the CLASSEMENT DES REMPLAÇANTS-1], not Marc-André Caya’s values [like in CLASSEMENT DES REMPLAÇANTS]). I don’t want Numbers to sort cells individually, but sort rows according to the columns I ask it.
    How can I achieve that? What’s the correct method? I’ll have almost 20 weeks of stats to compile and I don’t want this simple task becoming a nightmare!
    The original spreadsheet was created in Numbers ’09 (in which it worked just fine)… Should I start it from scratch in Numbers 3.2.2?
    Thanks!

    In the MOY category, in row 2 put the formula =F2/B2.  Then turn on the preserve column, but not the preserve row.  That should fix it.

  • No more optical drive and windows 8 issue: "Windows cannot be installed on this disk as it has an MBR partition table."

    I have an Early 2011 13" MBP going strong with an SSD and original HDD installed in the optical drive. However, having had success with windows 7 on my old HDD I was planning to install Windows 8.1 (from .iso) on my SSD. However, for the past day or so it's been a nightmare.
    I tried the official procedure but by editing the bootcamp info.plist so I could boot from USB (you can't install windows from an external optical drive apparently) partitioning as bootcamp wanted too.
    I then tried it a number of different ways using disk utility etc and with an empty space
    However, I always seem to end up with the error "“Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only installed on GPT disks“
    I read some interesting stuff here http://www.royhochstenbach.com/installing-windows-8-1-on-a-2013-mac-pro/
    He points out that
    "Windows 7 and 8 in x64 support EFI. Normally if you install Windows on a Mac and use the installation DVD, it boots into regular BIOS mode, thus can be installed on an MBR partition. I tried the same, but since the Mac Pro doesn’t have an optical drive I had to use an external drive. And apparently the Mac boots external optical drives in EFI mode too. The Bootcamp wizard is aware of this, and creates a GPT partition on a non-superdrive Mac but an MBR partition on a superdrive Mac."
    This means Bootcamp is essentially making the wrong type of partition?
    My real question is? How do I install it windows 8? I'm really on my last legs!
    I really don't want to have to open this thing up and reinsert my optical drive as its really really difficult to get out of the enclosure (would probably have to break it).
    A huge thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Have you tried that suggestion?
    You also could use this commands to check and install again:
    Inside windows installer, hit Shift+F10 to get a command prompt, then run diskpart and type List disk to displays a list of disks and information about them, such as their size, amount of available free space, whether the disk is a basic or dynamic disk,
    and whether the disk uses the master boot record (MBR) or GUID partition table (GPT) partition style.
    and then select the target disk. Zap the drive (with the clean command), create GPT table (new gpt), create the GPT-EFI special partitions.
    Step-by-step instructions is here for reference:
    HOW TO: Use the Diskpart.efi Utility to Create a GUID Partition Table Partition on a Raw Disk in Windows
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297800?wa=wsignin1.0
    Then reboot so the firmware finds those partitions and adds the disk to the EFI-native boot order (Windows installer checks this).

  • Fact Table with a metric repeated in several rows

    Hi!!
    I've got a little problem and I don't know how to face it.
    I'm using OBIEE and I've got this case:
    One fact table like this:
    Order_Number - Q.Received - Supplier - Invoice_Number - Q.Inv.
    1 - 10 - S1 - I1 - 2
    1 - 10 - S1 - I2 - 8
    2 - 10 - S1 - I3 - 10
    So, for an order Number, I can have more than one Invoice Number, but the quantity Received is always 10, because is a metric refered to the Orden, not to de Invoice, but this quantity (10) I find it in two rows, not in one row. It's like having two fact tables mixed (invoices and orders).
    My problem is:
    If in the logical field Q.Received I don't aggregate de column, when in Answers I try to know the Quantity of units received by supplier S1, the report says 10, that is incorrect. It should be 20.
    If in the logical field Q.Received I aggregate de column, when in Answers I try to know the Quantity of units received by supplier S1, the report says 30, that is incorrect too.
    I've tried to separate it in two fact tables by views like this:
    Fact1: Orders
    Order_Number - Q.Received - Supplier
    1 - 10 - S1
    2 - 10 - S1
    Fact2: Invoices
    Order_Number - Invoice_Number - Q.Inv.
    1 - I1 - 2
    1 - I2 - 8
    2 - I3 - 10
    ...and I've created a dimension with Order_Number, but the report:
    Order_Number - Q.Received - Q.Inv.
    ...doesn't work.
    -If I try without jerarquies, OBIEE goes only to the first one and if I select a field from Fact2 says that there isn't a mapping for this field.
    -If I try with jerarquies for the only dimension I have, with a grand total level and a child level, selecting the lowest level for all tables, error is: "None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request "
    Can anybody help me? I'm having nightmares with this issue.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi,
    Okay. I assume you have the 2 facts:
    Fact1: Orders
    Order_Number - Q.Received - Supplier
    1 - 10 - S1
    2 - 10 - S1
    Fact2: Invoices
    Order_Number - Invoice_Number - Q.Inv.
    1 - I1 - 2
    1 - I2 - 8
    2 - I3 - 10
    create a business model with the following logical tables:
    Order Dim,
    QTY Received,
    QTY Invoiced
    drag/drop Order_number from Fact1 to the logical table Order Dim (this will create a logical column Order_number).
    drag/drop Order_number from Fact2 to the logical COLUMN Order_number. (This will give you a second Logical Table Soruce with 1 logical table column.)
    drag/drop Q.Received from Fact1 to logical table QTY Received
    drag/drop Q.Inv. from Fact2 to logical table QTY Invoiced
    Assign key to LT Order Dim
    and draw Business Model Diagram.
    This should give you the possibility to report the quantity received and invoiced per order number

  • Best Way To Update Intersection Tables

    Hi,
    I'm surprised I haven't been able to find anything on this,
    but I was wondering if I could get some advice as to the most
    efficient way to update an intersection table, i.e. a M:N
    resolution table.
    My example...
    Say I have a M:N relationship between tables Cars and Colors.
    To resolve, I form table Cars_Colors with Car_ID and Color_ID as
    PFK's from their respective table.
    So on my form, say we're dealing with record "Ford Ranger,"
    I'll have a bunch of checkboxes with colors, in which multiple
    colors can be selected or de-selected. How should I handle this
    update?
    Currently, I just delete all the existing colors for the
    specific car, and then re-add the list of colors from the form...
    basically a delete then insert on the table... I don't use any
    update sql. But this is a nightmare when trying to keep audit
    history on data changes in the table.
    Any advice? Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Thanks everyone for your help. Your code samples gave me the
    start to to get this working by using CF code that produced the
    following query in Oracle 8i:
    INSERT INTO Cars_Colors (Car_ID, Color_ID)
    SELECT 2, AA.iNewColorID
    FROM
    SELECT 1 AS iNewColorID FROM dual UNION
    SELECT 2 AS iNewColorID FROM dual UNION
    SELECT 4 AS iNewColorID FROM dual
    ) AA
    WHERE AA.iNewColorID not in (
    select color_id from cars_colors where car_id =2
    )

  • Tables in InDesign CS4

    Hi.
    I am laying out some complex tables containing event agendas. I have a series of cells that are different sizes (for example, 3 cells, first is .375" wide, second is 2" wide, third is .375" wide. I'd like to duplicate these cells and their widths when pasting and there doesn't seem to be way to do that, other than copy and pasting an entire column containing those cells, or just sizing all of the cells individually. The second option is extremely time consuming. I need to hand off this table to other designers and would like it to not be a nightmare for them to use.
    Is anyone aware of a script that makes copy and pasting cell sizes possible?
    Any info greatly appreciated!

    Cell borders can only have sharp, square corners. The only way is to draw another frame for the outer border of the table.
    Oh, forgot this one: Paste the table into a round-corner frame of the appropriate size.

    this is what we really want removed.
    has anyone got any ideas how the issue IE can be fixed.
    thanks in advance for your help.

    Welcome to everybody's nightmare . IE, FF & Safari can vary on how they handle margins, position, padding, overflow and such. I have ended up modifying CSS classes as well as the attributes of divs, frames and such based on active browser. I would look for a couple of books that talk about this and try their suggestions. Be ready for lots of trial and error . You fix one thing and something else goes out of whack. Sigh.

  • I need to make a spreadsheet based on info from specific table columns and headlines above those tab

    Hi all,
    A client of mine is requesting that I create a spreadsheet from a huge catalog that I am doing for him (this will also be done for all similar huge catalogs). The spreadsheet needs to pull information from some of the table columns, as well as the headline for each table. (This spreadsheet will then go out to some other people who will be putting this information into an online database/website for the client.) Let me be more specific and show you an example below.
    Information from InDesign Catalog:
    Tea Set
    Part #
    MFG #
    Description
    123-456
    654321
    Tea Cup
    789-010
    010987
    Saucer
    Here is how the Excel Spreadsheet needs to look:
    Part #
    MFG #
    Product Name
    Description
    Page #
    123-456
    654321
    Tea Set
    Tea Cup

    789-010
    010987

    You have no idea how I have been pulling my hair out over this. Doing this manually will be a nightmare each time. My first thought was that I could assign specific cell styles to the columns (cells) and then create a TOC and then finangle with that - well, that didn't quite work, especially because of the headline I needed to pull into the spreadsheet as well. Is there ANY way I can get this information onto a spreadsheet? Knowing how wonderful InDesign is and all the tremendous capability it has, I am sure there IS a way and I just dont know how. Please PLEASE can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thank you very much in advance for your assistance:) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for the delay.
    I am sure that this can somehow be done by making use of the styles. For example, when creating the TOC InDesign does a GREAT job of pulling in the styles (that are of course associated with the headlines and whatever needs to be included in the TOC) and associating them with the correct page numbers. I had experimented a little with creating specific paragraph styles and working these into the table and cell styles...then applying the Table Style to the table. I was halfway getting to where I wanted to be by creating a TOC that pulled in all of these styles and applied the corresponding page numbers (that I could somehow work into converting back into a table to then flow onto an Excel spreadsheet) but the wrench in the works was of course the Product Name. That said, I am VERY confident that this CAN be done somehow, by making use of the styles, using the same (or similar) methodology that is used to create the TOC. If only I were a pro at scripting...
    Well, it's great that you're certain and confident, but I think your confidence is misplaced.
    I had sort of hoped that running headers could be convinced to support this, but that doesn't seem to be true.
    I think you need to postprocess the data somehow. If I was doing this for real I'd probably export the document to IDML and have a seperate program read the IDML XML, find the product names and page numbers, and insert them in tables. Though...that might mess up the page numbers. And it'd be a lot of work.
    An much-faster-to-rapid-prototype solution is to have an indesign script go through the document and add in page numbers and the product names. Here's a rough prototype:
    var d,s,story,table,product,page,c2,c3,c5,i,j.k;
    d=app.activeDocument;
    s=d.stories;
    for (i=0; i<s.length; i++) {
        story = s[i];
        for (j=0; j<story.tables.length; j++) {
            table = story.tables[j];
            product = story.chara
    cters[table.storyOffset.index-2].paragraphs[0].contents;
            page = table.parent.parentPage.name;
            // $.writeln("This is table "+j+". Product name: "+product+" page "+page);
            c2=table.columns[1];
            c3=table.rows[0].columns.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, c2);
            c3.contents=product;
            c5=table.rows[0].columns.add();
            c5.contents=page;
    This doesn't handle the header rows in tables, but hopefully that's ok.
    It may get page numbers wrong on multipage tables. Probably it would be better to just use
    SpecialCharacters.AUTO_PAGE_NUMBER on the last full line (c5.contents=).
    It should also probably not just look back 2 characters from the start of the table to find the paragraph, but it's probably good enough.

  • Max Number Of Columns in  table

    We have a requirement, where we need to create 400 columns on one table. Will there be any performance issues with this?
    Is there any oracle documentation that can justify this action?
    Thank You
    Kev

    If there is a limit imposed by the software (1000), it should be a limit recommanded by the logical.
    You have a RDBMS software here, that means Relational. Relational means tables links.
    A table with 400 columns is a nightmare, do not say an horror of conception, and certainly a conceptual error of the business you are working on.
    You really should reconsider this fact, and cut your 400 columns in smaller logical pieces (tables).
    Nicolas.
