Issue with Variable editor in BI 4.1 Webi

Hello Team,
Here i am with another possible bug maybe in BI 4.1 ,SP2.
In order to avoid the 1.#INF error which is a bug in BI 4,1 SP2, i found the solution of applying the formula If IsError(Measure) then "" else [Measure] and this seemed to work.
I now have some measures with complex names and when i try to write a similar formula as above in BI 4.1 based on those measures with complex names, i get the below error but the same works fine in BI 4.0 SP2 and SP5 versions. Below is an example:
Formula i'm trying to write:
=If IsError([SDV Cases].[Actual, 3 TY Mar Current Year]) Then "" Else [SDV Cases].[Actual, 3 TY Mar Current Year]
I'm using a lot of queries in this report and hence the extension "SDV Cases".**
Formula in BI 4.0:
Formula in BI 4.1,SP2:
The same error is seen when i try to just create a variable on top of the existing measures in BI 4.1,SP2 with such complex names and just click on validate without even applying any If then else formulas.It works fine for dimensions though with simpler names. See the screenshot below:
So is this a possible bug in BI 4.1,Sp2 and is there a resolution to this or is it expected to be resolved in BI 4.1,SP3 like the other bugs?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek

The following note talks about this as a bug in BI 4.1,SP01,Patch1. 1912975. But wanted a confirmation if its a bug in 4.1,SP02 as well and what is the patch for the guaranteed fix for this?

Having issue with variable after upgrade in bi7.0

Hi,
I have issue with variable
For example Plant info object has attributes country, company code, storage location
etc.
When I run the report. If I click on plant variable it is showing me the all the data for all country , compony code , storage location. I donot want this.
I just want only plant input values on variable screen
Thanks,

Naman,
What is your SP level ?
Also the characteristics mentioned - are they compounding attributes ? if yes then tey will come in your variable entry.

Issue with Variable Entry in BI 7.0

Hi,
I am having an issue with the variable entry in BI 7.0 Version. Here is a brief background.
--- In BW 3.x, when we define a variable with Single Value Option, you can enter the value manually in the pop-up selection screen or select from the dropdown of possible values.
---But in 7.0 when i try to enter the value manually in the selection screen its opening the dropdown list, and is not giving me the option to enter a value manually. I am entering a valid single value in selection.
Is this a bug or do i have to make any specific settings to correct my issue?

When the selection screen pops up choose the KEY only function on the TOOLS on the top right corner of the screen. Then you will be able to enter the values manually.
Hope this helps.

Issue with @variable('DOCNAME')

I added a where clause using the BO designer that uses @variable ('DOCNAME') and it work perfect when running webi reports. But I also have some crystal reports that are using the universe and they suddenly stopped working. Does the variable 'DOCNAME' have an issue with cyrstal reports??
Even if I just create an object that simply displays the @variable ('DOCNAME'), I still run into the same problem.
I have another query that uses @variable ('BOUSER') and that one works fine on both webi and crystal reports.

Nevermind, I may have found an answer. Based on what the article below states, it looks like the only variable that is supported in Crystal Reports is 'BOUSER'.

Powershell Issue with Variable and Equal Signs

I should have been using $line.grade, but your syntax worked so thanks!

I've been running a powershell script to create active directory accounts at our school from a csv file. I'm needing to have users placed in a specific OU based on what grade level they are in, which is a field in the csv file and I have passed into the description field in AD. To keep from writing a bunch of if statements, I thought I might could pass the description variable into my organizational unit path, but I'm having syntax issues.Here is the specific line I have issues with.Powershell'ou' = "OU=$line.description, OU=LESStudents,OU=LES,DC=school,DC=k12,DC=state,DC=us"I've tried the single quote, double quotes, escaping the equal sign and some other methods I've seen online, but haven't quite gotten it right. It just isn't recognizing OU=$line.description as a variable.
Disclaimer - I'm not a programmer and most of this was built...

Audio sync issues with variable frame rates as well as .ts files

I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 and CC, in Windows 8.
I bought an AverMedia Live Gamer HD card to capture 1080p footage with, and the the videos it produces work perfectly during playback. No sync issues whatsoever. I'm saving them as MP4 at 30fps.
The problem is when I import them into Premiere Pro, the audio loses sync at certain points. After a bit of digging, I've discovered that the videos have a variable frame rate, which Premiere Pro does not support. I don't know why, considering competing products that are significantly cheaper can handle them with a problem, but oh well. The capture card can also save videos in .TS format, which produces a constant frame rate, however when I import them into Premire Pro the sync is immediately off by a second or more. I assume this is for an entirely different reason. Again, they play back normally without a problem. Upon emailing AverMedia, I was told this was Adobe's problem and there was nothing they could do about it.
What I'm wondering is if there is any sort of realistic solution to this as of now. Is there any way that Premiere can work properly with files that have a variable frame rate? If not, is this being worked on?
Or maybe there's a way to get the .TS files back in sync, that way the variable frame rate issue doesn't matter anyway.
Converting the files is not a long term solution. I'm working with hours and hours of HD video, and it would take way too much time to do this.
Manually resyncing the audio is also not a solution. Again, this would just be way too much wasted time with each project.
The only solution I see as of now is to switch to Sony Vegas until this problem is resolved in Premiere, if it ever is. I'm really hoping there is some other way, so if anyone has an idea as to how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
tl/dr:
Is there any way to get around Premiere Pro not working with variable framerates? My .TS files are also out of sync, is there any way to fix that? Without converting or manually resyncing.

>If not, is this being worked on?
Discussed many times before... never a "yes" answer to your question... tell Adobe what YOU want at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
If enough people make a request, Adobe MAY add the feature (I don't work for Adobe, so no guarantee of anything)

Issues With Variables

First, let me send a thanks to PBrock and Cotton for their help with my last issue I had with a program. You guys helped tremendously!
Now onto the latest issue with my code I compile this and get two error messages saying that the variables (again) and (exit) cannot be found. I have a sneaky suspicion that once I figure these two errors out that I'm going to get slammed with a bunch more but I do have my fingers crossed on this one.

Issue with Variable Personalisation in Bex Report

Hi Gurus,
I'm facing a typical problem with Variable presonalisation in the Report.
I've executed a BEX Report and filtered data on some characteristics and used SAVE AS Button on the Portal to save the resultset. When I'm trying to use the variants, again say after 2 or 3 days i couldn't find updated data for particular variants upon using the same variants rather its refelecting the old data. Further more when I execute the report and try filtering on the same criteria altogether, I'm able to see updated result set.
Is there any setting to be enabled when we personalise variants or variants are dependent on the data or the date on which they are created. Not sure why the reports are behaving this way. Or Do I need to create variants time and again.
Any pointers would be of great help.
Regard,
Yaseen

Hello,
In the BEx report, when you get the variable selection screen there input your selection and at the bottom you have the option of saving them as a variant.
Now in future when you run the report simply use this variant and execute the report. It should work fine.
Also remember date selection can be tricky. If you input todays date in the variant, it wil consider the same date in further references. So do a check on that too.
Regards,
Shashank

Issue with Variable on 0FISCPER

Hi,
I am using a single value/ mandatory variable on 0FISCPER in my queries. It has been working fine till now but when i click on the drill down of that variable in the selection screen, it gives me a 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR (java.lang.NullPointerException). IF i enter a value manually without clicking on the drop down, it is working fine and the query is getting executed. How can i resolve this problem.
Thanks

Issue with the presence indicator in list/library web part.

When viewing a user field (Created By, Modified By or a custom People column) through the list web part (either through the default page /Forms/AllItems.aspx or a custom web part page using a list/library) the presence indicator always says presence unknown.
However if I go to the Site Permissions on the same site, or My Site or a custom page using a modified core search results web part I wrote the presence indicator works fine. I can't find any errors being reported on the server.
Looking at the rendered code the list web part generates:
<IMG name=imnmark width=12 height=12 title="" class=ms-imnImg id=imn_48683,type=smtp alt="No presence information" src="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" border=0 sip="[email protected]">
Locations where the presence indicator works the code is:
<IMG name=imnmark width=12 height=12 title="" class=ms-imnImg id=imn{20140822-1752-098D-8C11-188AD0B8B8B6},type=sip alt=Available src="http://portal.mydomain.com/_layouts/images/imnon.png" border=0 sip="[email protected]" valign="middle">
It appears that the List web part is not detecting that the users have a sip address and they appear to be rendered using smtp instead. It's also odd that the list web part is pulling the correct sip address while the one that works is pulling the
email address, not the sip address stored in the user profile. I spent considerable time going through the xslt to try and figure how the tag is rendered but I haven't been able to figure it out.
We are using Cisco Jabber 9.2.3 for IM, I don't know if that should make a difference or not. It's working fine in other parts of SharePoint and in Outlook. Running SharePoint Dec 2011 CU (14.0.6114.5000) with MS Office 2010 SP2 installed on the client. Tested
in IE 9.0/10/11.
Any ideas?

We don't have a Lync server and I don't have the software available. Are you saying just having Lync installed even though it won't work might help?
I did some more digging and believe that this is an issue with the XsltListViewWebPart. If I go to the UserInformationList the web part used to render the list is the ListViewWebPart and the presence indicator works there. Also our environment
was migrated from 2007 and there are a number of pages that are using the old ListViewWebPart and the presence indicator works fine in this part. If edit the page and add the same list library to it, it's added as a XsltListViewWebPart and the presence
indicator does not work.
The presence control is not rendered by the xsl files used by the webpart. I modified the xsl to display the raw xml and the html code for the presence is part of the xml. I'm guessing this can't be changed and is part of how SharePoint is rendering
the data for the XsltListViewWebPart. You can see the Editor and CheckoutUser lines have the html code embedded in the data.

I just find it strange that the old ListViewWebPart works. Our SP environment has not been patched to the latest version, I'll try that next and see if it makes a difference.

Issues with Bex query structures and Crystal Reports/Webi

Hi experts,
I'm having an issue with Bex Query structures and nulls. I've built a Crystal Report against a Bex query that uses a Bex Query structure. The structure looks like the following
Budget $
Budget %
Actual $
Actual %
Budget YTD
etc
if I drag the structure into the Crystal Report detail section with a key figure it displays like this
Budget $ <null>
Budget % <null>
Actual $ 300
Actual % 85
Budget YTD 250
the null values are displayed (and this is what is required). However if I filter using a Record selection or group on a profit centre then the nulls along with the associated structure component are not displayed.
Actual $ 300
Actual % 85
Budget YTD 250
Webi is also behaving similarly. Can anyone explain why the above is happening and suggest a solution either on the Bex side of things or on the Crystal Reports side of things? I'm confused as to why nulls are displayed in the first example and not the second.

Hi,
Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence will only show data which is in the cube. You could have an actual 0 or Null entry whithout grouping but by changing the selection / grouping in the report the data does not include such entry anymore.

Issue with condition editor in integration process

Hi,
Now there is the chance to use this feature for the first time.
Seems to be very easy.... No, it isnt!
Variable RETURN (type string) referencing to a field of a message structure is used for this condition:
RETURN!="I001"
So, if the variable does not contain the string I001 the process should use the exception path.
Ok, easy! This works!
But now I have this case to solve with the condition editor.
If the variable does not contain the string I001 OR E002 the process should use the exception path.
So my condition looks like this now:
RETURN!="I001"|RETURN!="E001"
=> If return is NOT I001 OR Return is NOT E001....
Result: semantical check is OK but the process always chooses the exception path now.
Oh, why this?
An alternative RETURN!=("I001"|"E001") does not pass the semantic check.
So I am missing ideas now how to write down the condition for my switch step
as this issue seems to be not discussed in any thread here.
Any help with this strange feature is really appreciated!
Best regards
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
=> If return is NOT I001 OR Return is NOT E001....
for me, your logic is wrong, what you need for your exception receiver is :
=> If return is NOT I001 AND Return is NOT E001....
NON (a OR b) <=> (NON a) AND (NON b).
so for your receiver_ok, you have to use the opposite: so the solution providen by Ramesh, and so to ahve two receiver lines like that:
(Result = "l001" OR Result ="E0011" ) ==> Receiver_ok
<blank_condition (*)> ==> Receiver_Exception
(*) all condition which does not respect the 1st ones: Result = "l001" OR Result ="E0011".

Issue with Form Editor, Payslip

Dear All,
I have an issue in Salary Slip. I am making my own pay slip in form editor and I have made 4 windows for displaying 4 different type of allowances and deductions but when I call the value in window from wagetypes in RT they come up as multiplied by 10. For example, (Please note that I am in Oman and local currency is OMR that uses 3 places after decimal for example 20.300 OMR) An employee has basic pay of 1500.700/- OMR it is coming up as 15007.00/- OMR. The amount in RT is coming fine as 1500.700/- OMR, I have checked it. When I call a wagetype in a single field the value comes out fine so the issue is with values displayed in the Windows.
Can anyone tell me whats going on???
Regards,
Ahsan Zaidi.

Hi Bala,
It is already mapped correctly. If I enter a single line Text in HTML Editor, I am getting the same Text after Parsing. But If I enter multiple lines, spaces, new lines, etc., then the Problem.

Automator : issue with variable and path to folder

I created a simple Automator Workflow with: A variable "Document Folder" and an action "Run shell script" with this command:
"rsync -E -a -v -z --delete $@ /Volumes/MyBook/Backup/"
I tested this command, It works very well in the terminal. But return me an error with Automator.
"$@" is replaced by the Path when running, I guess my issue is that the content of the variable is " ~/Documents " . When it pass to the script it become "/Users/login/~/Documents".
That can't works.
A solution would be to put in the script the full path instead of "$@" but I would liketo understand why this error occur.
Thanks.

Automator actions return their results as a list of items. If you want your shell script to use the result of an action (for example Ask for Finder Items) as arguments, you need to set the Pass input: as arguments option, and place your statement in the for loop:
for f in "$@"
do
/usr/bin/rsync -E -a -v -z --delete "$f" /Volumes/MyBook/Backup/
done

Issue with variable, need to remove characters

Hi Team,
i have one problem regarding the variable.
i have some variable for example 'MALT011000012345MTLCAST001SMT84'.
in the above variable i need to replace the value of M with say 5, value of A with 9 and so on .
like i want to repalce each character with number field.
can you please share your ideas that how can i resolve this issue in PL/SQL?

Hi,
Here's one way:
str := TRANSLATE ( str
                 , 'MA'
                 , '59'
                 );where str is any string, such as 'MALT011000012345MTLCAST001SMT84'.
The 2nd and 3rd arguments to TRANSLATE can be any length (1 or more); I just included the 2 character pairs that you mentioned. The n-th character of the 2nd argument will be replaced with the n-th character of the 3rd argument.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, please post a little sample data (that is, strings that contain 'M''s, 'A's, and/or the other characters you need to replace) and what you want all those strings turned into. Post the sample data as CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements so we can test them all in one query.
