Is it possible to use a variable to control the path where a sub-flow is found ?

I have a customer on UCCX 7.0.2 SR5.
They are developing a script that uses many sub-flows and they wish to have a "Development" , "QA" and a "Production" versions of the application all on the same box.
I can build the applications easily enough but the challenge I'm running into is we want to also have 3 different sub-directories in the repository to hold the different versions of the scripts and the sub-flows. The thought is the developers can keep working on modifying the code while the QA team tests the latest build without affecting each other. Then there is a separate production version of the script that has previously passed QA and is public facing.
Example: the directory structure where the scripts are stored.
\root of repository
     App-Dev
     App-QA
     App-Production
In a script, it seems that you have to browse to the location in the repository and directly select the subflow you want.
This is a challenge since when I copy my code from the development to the quality assurance directory I have to go thru and edit all the references to the sub-flow to the QA directory.
Ideally I'd like to do the following:
Define a string variable "Script-Path" and assign it to the desired directory
then call the subflow
SCRIPT[Script-Path\ScriptName.aef]
this doens't seem to work.
Has anyone found a solution to this challenge ?
Thanks

Hi,
Does the subflow script and the script that calls it are in the same folder??
If the script was originally loaded from disk, the subflow script must reside in the
same folder as the script that calls it. If the script was loaded from the Repository,
then the subflow must also reside in the Repository.
EDIT: My first comment was because I though you were trying to call a script directly from disk.
Now for scripts that are in the repository I did some tests. I have the root directory where I placed the main script and then I have another directory called Test where I placed the subflow script.
My main script is:
Start
Accept
PlayPrompt (audio.wav)
Subflow(subflowVariable)
End
*subflowVariable is a parameter with value "Test\subflowScript.aef"
My subflow script plays a prompt.
So when I test this everything worked just fine

Using a Variable to Substitute the path\filename of a Batch file in the Start_Process Command

I am trying to write a script that will execute a batch file on a remote Windows server.
This line below is basically what I'm trying to do and it works without error, however I would like to use a variable for the path\filename of the batch file.
invoke-command -computername QSC-A-ICE01 -scriptblock {Start-Process "\\qsc-a-ice01\D$\Test\RunThis.bat" }
If I try to use a variable as in this example below I receive the error below. The error seems to indicate it's it expecting a "FilePath" parameter. Is this true? How would I change this script to make it work when substituting a variable.
$MyProcess = "\\qsc-a-ice01\D$\Test\RunThis.bat"
Write-Host $MyProcess
invoke-command -computername QSC-A-ICE01 -scriptblock {Start-Process "$MyProcess"}
This is the error text I receive when using a variable:
PS C:\Windows\system32> D:\Test\ThisWorks.ps1
\\qsc-a-ice01\D$\Test\RunThis.bat
Cannot validate argument on parameter 'FilePath'. The argument is null or empty. Supply an argument that is not null or
empty and then try the command again.

Mike,
Thanks for providing the link, it was very informative. The link described how to use the args in a ScriptBlock and provided me with an explaination as to why it works the way it does on a remote server. This is my 1st post to the forum and I don't know
how the points system works yet.
I would like to split the points , but I don't see that this is possible.
You're very welcome, I'm glad that the information was helpful.

Is it possible to use one imac to control the screen of another?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a new iMac. At present I have an older intel iMac (1.83, 17 inch, 2 Gigs ram, 250 hd) and I work mainly with Logic Pro 8. Logic Pro 8 has a node function which allows you to use the processing power of a second computer to enhance the processing power of the primary computer. My present iMac in my new setup would be the node computer to the new iMac. I already know I can use the processing power of my present computer but can I also use it's display? In other words can I use the new iMac to control the old iMac's screen? Thanks

One thing I'd caution you on, Logic node uses resources over an ethernet connection, which this screen sharing application also appears to be transmitted over. Using this screen sharing app, the internet, or any other networking application on the Logic Node computer will affect the amount of bandwidth available to Logic Node, reducing the amount of performance you get by having the second "node" computer hooked up.
It's possible that it may not be very noticeable, but I'd definitely do a test with and without the screen sharing app to see how far you can push it.
I'm curious to see if this works well, I wouldn't mind using my PC laptop for a second monitor.

Is it possible to use repository variable in conditional formatting

Is it possible to use repository variable in conditional formatting . if no then is there any workaround for implementing the same....
Also i came across a sql of an init block.. which goes like 'exec OracleBi..procedure_name'
Is 'OracleBi..' a keyword or something like that....

Refer http://www.biblogs.com/2008/09/03/obiee-repository-variables-filtering-and-conditional-formatting/
Init blk is calling any procedure here with name OracleBI here...no any specific significance.
Hope this help

How to feed a query using a variable defined as Replacement Path-Query

Scenario description : BI NetW 2004S - InfoCube with the following characteristics Customer, OrderDate, OrderYear and the following KeyFigure Number of Pieces.
Objective: I need a query "QB" that shows how many pieces a set of customers has ordered in the year 2008. The set of customers is defined as all customers that in the previous years (the user can select one or more years) have ordered more than 500 pieces within the same year.
Implementation: In general terms the idea is to build a query "QB" with the characteristic "Customer" that is restricted (filtered) using a variable that is fed by another query "QA" (Replacement Path-Query).
In order to have the selection of customers that for each of previous years (2007, 2006, 2005,...) have ordered more than 500 pieces, in the query "QA":
- I put OrderYear as filter and defined a variable in order to ask the user which year/s he wants to analyse to define the selection
- I put Customer and OrderYear in row
- I put the KeyFigure Number of Pieces in column
- I've defined the following condition: Number of Pieces > 500 with the option Caracteristic Assignment = All Characteristics in the Drilldown Indipendently
Now if I run the query "QA" it works correctly showing me all customers that in the selected years have ordered more than 500 pieces within of the same year.
If I run the query "QB" it shows a correct result only if I enter only one year (for example 2006) in the OrderYear field (coming from the query "QA"); if I enter more than one year (for example 2006 and 2007) the selection of customers showed is not the same defined by the first query "QB": I was expecting to see all customers defined from the first query less all customers that have no ordered any piece in 2008.
Questions
1) Why is query "QA" working on a different selection of customers when the user selects more than one year?
2) Cosidering the scenario and the objective described above do you have any other idea?
Thanks
Ciao
Roberto

Hi Christophe,
it's ok for me if I consider the customer only once in the final selection of customers that feeds the final query, this is my objective.
However as test I've created 2 "input" queries, one related to 2006 and one related to 2007, and then in my destination query I've tried to restrict the customer using 2 variables of type replacement path-query (one attached to the 2006 query and one attached to the 2007 query). Unfortunately when I try to check and save the destination query, Query Designer tells me it is not possible to restrict the characteristic in this way.
Could you please describe me steps you run in to order to restrict a characteristic using more than one variable of type replacement path-query?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Ciao,
Roberto

Use of variables in "FOR XML PATH"

Other than using dynamic sql (which we don't want to use) is there a way to use a variable in For XML Path, e.g.
select
FOR XML PATH (@BookName), ROOT('Book'), TYPE
TIA,
edm2

In terms of general XML design this is poor. An element is normally a 'thing', and the attributes are normally the properties of that thing. Therefore in your case you would have a Book property with a 'name' attribute. It would be impossible
to create an XSD for your xml, and makes it awkward for readers of your xml - how do they know the book name beforehand? Creating this xml in the normal fashion would also make it easy to create without any messing around ( string manipulation,
other hacks ), eg
DECLARE @BookName NVARCHAR(20) = 'SomeBook'
SELECT
@BookName "@name"
-- Other book attributes
FOR XML PATH ('Book'), ROOT('Books'), TYPE
So now you have a Book item(s) within a Books collection. Easy! : )

No, the superdrive works only with Mac that don't have an optical superdrive built in in the first place.
However, if you have a newer Mac that could support the SuperDrive or another computer (Mac or PC) which has an optical drive, you could use this: DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc - Apple Support

Is it possible to use a variable semantically as an invisible "column"?

Here is a simple query that produces a table:
let
    Source = #table(     type table [First= number, Second= number],      {{1,1}, {2,4}, {3,4}}     ),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each [First]+[Second])
in
    #"Added Custom"
I would like to replace the formula used in #"Added Custom" with a variable which abstracts the calculation and the fields used. Something like this (which does not work):
let
    Source = #table(     type table [First= number, Second= number],      {{1,1}, {2,4}, {3,4}}     ),
    Sum = [First]+[Second],
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Sum, "Custom", each Sum)
in
    #"Added Custom"
Is this possible?

You can do this using a custom function. (Note: "each" is just shorthand for "(_) =>", i.e. a function with one argument named "_".)
let
    Source = #table(type table [First= number, Second= number], {{1,1}, {2,4}, {3,4}}),
    Sum = each [First]+[Second],
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Sum(_)),
in
    #"Added Custom"
You could also eliminate the "each" from Added Custom if you like:
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", Sum)

Possible to use local variables in Calculation Manager

Hi,
I'm using calculation manager in EPMA for the first time. Have not found any function for using "local variables", i.e. variables that can be used for fixing on the current members a user has selected in a form. Do someone know if it is possible to use that functionality in calculation manager? And in that case, how do I find it?
Thanks!
Regards
Mats

Hi,
I guess you are referring to local variables in Essbase Administration Console. When you are in calculation manager (System View), you can go to Tools->Variables. There you can create variables at application, database (global) or business rule level (local variable). You can use these in Business rules by placing the name in curly bracket {...}.
The usage of the variables in the forms is the same as before.
If however, what you meant to say by local variables is substitution variables, yes you can use them in Calc manager the same way you use in calc script.
Cheers,
Alp

Is it possible to use a variable after

...after popup message. Like the following example. I want to inform the user about the next number he can enter into a database..
MESSAGE 'Please enter another value. The value may be ' + VARIABLENAME TYPE 'I'.
How can I achieve using a variable after this message or any alternative way?
Thank all you very much.
Deniz.

hi,
u can do it.
To create a message long text in SE91:
Select to switch to change mode.
Place the cursor on the corresponding message.
Click the Long text pushbutton.
This starts the SAPscript editor.
Enter the long text.
Carry out a check in SAPscript editor.
Save your data.
eg: create a msg like this.
Please enter another value. The value may be &.
then in pgm do this.
MESSAGE i014(msg_class_name) WITH variable_value.

Using a variable to vary the WHERE clause in a statement

I have an int column that has values >= 0.
Depending on a variable I want to select all the rows of the table or only the rows where the int column is 0.
How do I do this?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. Why do you think "a variable" and "the integer column" are precise clear specs? I hate to tell you but zero is a integer.
