Mark Queries

Hello Friends,
1). What do we mean by mark queries?What is the usage of it?
2).Which mode do we activate for Data to use the web application to access pre- calculated data.?
3).Why do we activate output optimisation for Web Items?
4).What are the different data providers in WAD? Do they used for data binding?
5).Which is the default aggregation type for non cumulative KF?
Thanks,
Suyog

looks like interview questions...
1). What do we mean by mark queries?What is the usage of it?
Can you give a context
2).Which mode do we activate for Data to use the web application to access pre- calculated data.?
Please elaborate ... mode of what ...?
3).Why do we activate output optimisation for Web Items?
For display optimization across multiple devices - the report can be viewed in a PDS / mobile etc etc...
4).What are the different data providers in WAD? Do they used for data binding?
Data provider is always a query or a view. the data provider is bound to a web item.
5).Which is the default aggregation type for non cumulative KF?
it depends on how you are processing a non *** KF - each has its rules - for example percentage is a non cumulastive KF and is aggregated differently depending on reporting needs... Exception aggregation is available too...

2 queries sharing 1 variable entry screen

We have 2 queries in a workbook which use identical user-entered variants. Is there a way to have the user only fill in the variants once for both queries.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi,
Yes. you can. Bex will bring the popup for variable entry for the Query which is last inserted.
Some say-> your have insert Query1 and then Query2.
The the popup for Query2 with appear first and user make a variant there and save it. Now i am assuming that you have make sure that you are using the same variables for both query..then there will be no popup and the whatever values which user have entered in variant of Query2 which will taken by Query2 also.
Fews points to keep in mind->
1) Make sure that you are using the same variables (check techinal names of variables) in Query 2 as you have in Query 1.
2) To refresh all queries with a single refresh screen, the user can select any cell in the workbook that is NOT part of the query (to visualize which cells are part of a query, use the Analyzer toolbar and select Layout >> Mark queries on worksheet), then select the refresh button. You will see a message box that says "No query is selected. Do you want to refresh all queries in the workbook?". If you select Yes, all queries will refresh with one refresh screen (assuming all queries have identical variables).

San!

Remove a query from a workbook

Hello,
I'm trying to remove a query from a workbook like I did many times in the past. In some of the workbooks this option works and in some it doesnt. when i use "mark queries in the workbook" it marks the query that i want to remove so i'm sure the query is fine.
Did someone had this problem in the past?
Thank you,
David

David,
We were on SP 12 and had this issue (we also had the issue of selecting Properties in the Analyzer of the query and nothing happens), our basis guys have installed SP13 and so far I've had no reoccurrence of it.

Possible have IDs instead of names in queries - Discoverer 10g (10.1.2)?

Hi all,
In EUL I have defined folders: Time, Product, Customer, Sales. In dimensions
folders I have as follows:
- Time -> Day_Id, Day_Name, Day_Date, Mnth_Id, Mnth_Name, Mnth_Date;
- Products-> Prod_Id, Prod_Name, Tot_Prod_Id, Tot_Prod_Name
- Customers: Cust_Id, Cust_Name, Grp_Cust_Id, Grp_Cust_Name, Tot_Cust_Id,Cust_Tot_Name
All Id and Date items are "user invisible", only _Name items are marked as
"user visible" and may be chosen by Disco end-users.
In facts folders Sales I have:
- Sales -> Time_Id, Prod_Id, Cust_Id (<- user invisible), Gross_Rev, Net_Rev,Quantity, Quantity_Kg.
When I create a report (either from Discoverer Plus or Discoverer Desktop) by names (available from selector) in
generated select statement I can see (in simplified version, but meaning still the same):
SELECT TIME.MNTH_NAME, PRODUCTS.PROD_NAME, SUM(SALES.QUANTITY)
FROM SALES, PRODUCTS, TIME o
WHERE SALES.TIME_ID=TIME.ID AND SALES.PROD_ID=PRODUCTS.ID
AND TIME.MNTH_NAME IN ('M-03-2004','M-04-2004','M-05-2004')
AND (PRODUCTS.PROD_NAME IN ('000029 - PROD1','000030 - PROD2)
GROUP BY TIME.MNTH_NAME,PRODUCTS.PROD_NAME;
which is not good for me because of MNTH_NAME, PROD_NAME in select, where and group by phrases of query - I need there to be MNTH_ID, PROD_ID instead of those names. Is it possible that Discoverer generates such a query instead of written above:
SELECT TIME.MNTH_ID, PRODUCTS.PROD_ID, SUM(SALES.QUANTITY)
FROM SALES, PRODUCTS, TIME o
WHERE SALES.TIME_ID=TIME.ID AND SALES.PROD_ID=PRODUCTS.ID
AND TIME.MNTH_ID IN (21,22,23)
AND (PRODUCTS.PROD_ID IN (234,456,55)
GROUP BY TIME.MNTH_ID,PRODUCTS.PROD_ID;
I tried to use "indexed items" functionality as recommended in Disco
Administrator Guide, so that Disco can do mapping NAME-ID behind the scene, but it doesn't work - queries are still the same and explain plans are poor.
How to force Discoverer to use IDs instead of names in selects?

MKF

Hi Asim,
The instructions for integrating Discoverer with IDM/Portal are in the Discoverer doc listed above. Most people shutdown the Discoverer 4i server, upgrade the EUL to 10g, then install the 10g Discoverer software and configure the apps to use it. Details are all in the doc.
1. Install Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2)
1.1. Install OracleAS Identity Management Infrastructure 10g (10.1.4.0.1)
You must install OracleAS Identity Management Infrastructure 10g (10.1.4.0.1) on a standalone server or in a separate ORACLE_HOME on an existing application tier server node. Follow the instructions in the Oracle Application Server 10g Installation Guide for your operating system platform.
1.2. Install Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) type Business Intelligence and Forms
You must install Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) installation type Business Intelligence and Forms in a seperate ORACLE_HOME from the previously installed OracleAS Infrastructure. During installation of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) type Business Intelligence and Forms you will be prompted for Oracle Internet Directory details. Please provide your Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.4.0.1) Infrastructure hostname and port number as configured in step 1.1.

Safari won't open. Firefox disappeared, only question mark. Mail doesn't have content. Time Machine won't turn on because sparse bundle is in use. Please help.

I had this issue about a month in a half ago and it was fixed by a local technician. I no longer have access to him and I really need some help. The issues are as follows:
Safari will not open.
Firefox disappeared. No icon, just a question mark in it's place.
When I open mail it shows I have new messages but the content is blank.
Time Machine cannot turn on because sparse bundle is in use.
New files that were made are no longer available. It's almost as if the computer jumped back in time.
The Mac Mini is running Mavericks 10.9.5

I'll assume that you have some way of connecting to this website from the affected machine. If not, ask for other instructions.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

Multiple queries with 1 connection

Can I execute multiple queries with one connection?
//Example -
<%
String firstconn;
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
// create connection string
firstconn = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/profile?user=mark&password=mstringham";
// pass database parameters to JDBC driver
Connection aConn = DriverManager.getConnection(firstconn);
// query statement
Statement firstSQLStatement = aConn.createStatement();
String firstquery = "UPDATE auth_users SET last_log='" + rightnow + "'WHERE name='" + username + "' ";
// get result code
int firstSQLStatus = firstSQLStatement.executeUpdate(firstquery);
// close connection
firstSQLStatement.close();
%>
Now, instead of building a new connection for each query, can I use the same connection info for another query?
if so - how do you do this?
thanks for any help.
Mark

Create multiple statement objects from your connection. It's a good idea to close these in a finally block after you're done with them
Connection conn = null;
Statement stmt1 = null;
Statement stmt2 = null;
try {
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection();
    stmt1 = conn.createStatement();
    // some sql here
    stmt2 = conn.createStatement();
    // some more sql here
} finally {
    if ( stmt1 != null ) stmt1.close();
    if ( stmt2 != null ) stmt2.close();

A few queries regarding the beauty that is Nokia 5...

I got this beautiful lil machine a lil over a week back. It looks lovely, and sounds even better. And even though, being a student/intern, it cost me more than my monthly salary, I am mighty pleased I got it. And despite the opposition before, it's a great hit, both at home and work.
Just a few queries regarding the usage from my experience so far, the answers to which I could not find in this forum and a few other review sites. [Apologies if I'd missed something.]
1- First, the battery. It only lasts for a little over a day on full charge. From what I'd heard and read, it looked like it should last quite a bit a more, atleast 2 full days. The phone even hung up a couple of times, while recording/playing video. Upon which I had to remove and reinsert the battery. How seriously wrong is this ?
2- How do you forcefully exit an application, if need be ? It suggests in the guide, and from the reviews I read, there's supposed to be an exit and a start button with the applications when you bring up the task manager. Where're they?
3- There's this option where you can insert a Slideshow as your Wallpaper. But when I go to it, select the desired images, [ Tried various random images, yes ]it only shows Options and Back button, when select Back, it just goes, well, back. Nothing really happens to the wallpaper. How does that work ?
4- This might seem like a petty issue, but it can be pretty annoying. Once you go to Options and tell it you are marking, e.g. in the Inbox or the File Manager, how do you mark multiple items, WITHOUT having to go to Options >Mark >Mark/Unmark for each item ? What's the point of having a seperate Marking option in the first place then, when I could just Move or Delete each item seperately anyway.
5- And last, any news on a free full version of a document viewer ? From what I looked up, it costs around US$70, which is about a quarter of the phone's purchase price itself. And that's not a modest sum, that too for a basic application such as this, for a anyone with my status.
Just so any prospective buyer or amateur user such as myself doesn't get scared off by the seemingly long list of inquiries, the phone's an absolute pleasure to use. Specially, for someone with their first Touchscreen/Symbian experience. I got this phone after a LOT of research, both online and in the field. And it's bloody well worth it so far.
I know, it's a huge post, but you'd have my utmost gratitude for an accurately detailed response. Thankyou. =)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why of course. Something happening to your phone during the process would brick it, not to mention that the attempt would install something in your phone that voids the warranty, meaning that you just made yourself a very expensive paperweight. ^_^. We're not really allowed to talk about it, other than the fact that with the above possibility, I strongly advise you not to do so. There is a way to do it without hacking it. I know of people who have managed to do it without hacking, but it was on the 5800. Hmm, ok, maybe they'll work for you too though.

Free Oracle Tool to Simplify Commonly Run Dictionary Queries

(orastat has a very good 'Hot Blocks' query)
Hi,
My co-workers and I at Agilent Technologies have developed a
useful tool to simplify running common dictionary queries. It
runs on UX and requires that you be the "oracle" user. You can
download it from
http://dbamon.com/orastat
For example, if you wanted info about a certain table, you could
query DBA_TABLE, DBA_INDEXES. With our tool "orastat", you would
just run 'orastat -ti <OWNER>.<TABLE>. Example:
2002/01/13-09:09:17 orastat | oraver=8.1.6 oraver3=8.1 sqlcmd=sv
2002/01/13-09:09:17 orastat | ORACLE_SID=DBA ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6

If the application uses a single database session, you can also generate a SQLTrace file to analyse with tkprof by using either Oracle Enterprise Manager to turn on SQL Trace for the session, or use DBMS_MONITOR SESSION_TRACE_ENABLE(session_id, serial_num) - you then have to find the trace file on the datbaas eserver USER_DUMP_DEST and either read manually (the queries are easily visible) or use tkprof to analyze it Using Application Tracing Tools Among other things tkprof can tell you the top resource consuming SQL statements.

AWR reports DBMS_ALERT_INFO queries using significant elapsed time

Hi
10.1.0.3 / OpenVMS 8.2
Has anyone encountered AWR reporting significant resource consumption on queries relating to DBMS_ALERT_INFO (via calls to dbms_alert.register)? The buffer busy waits % from AWR is high as well (see AWR snippets below). Oracle are suggesting this is "expected behaviour for the objects owned by
the SYS user".
The query takes (on average) 2.3 seconds elapsed, using 1.63 CPU seconds and is responsible for 94% of all Buffer Busy Waits.

Closing this thread even if it's not answered...Sorry, I don't have time to test this myself now, but you shouldn't mark this thread as answered if it is not, because other people might find it and think they find an answer if they have a similar question.
I suggest you try the following to narrow down things:
1. Open the RAW trace file and check the cursor numbers of the "direct path reads" - check if you can find any references for those cursor numbers manually. The cursor numbers are those numbers behind the WAIT #<xx>, and you can check if you find any other entry unequal to WAIT #<xx> with the same #<xx>, for example EXEC #<xx> or FETCH #<xx>
A short primer on how to interpret the raw trace file can also be found in MOS document 39817.1
2. Run the RAW trace file through alternative free trace file analyzers like SQLDeveloper (yes it can process raw trace files), OraSRP or Christian Antognini's TVD$XTAT. If you have My Oracle Support access you can also try Oracle's own extended Trace Analyzer (TRCA / TRCANLZR). See MOS Note 224270.1
Check if these tools tell you more about your specific wait event and oddities with the trace file in general.

Randolf

PDF report printing is displaying '?' mark instead of thai characters

Hi All,
When trying to print PDF report I am getting question mark "?" for thai characters.
In browser it is showing properly.The problem is happening only when I open pdf file.It is showing "?" mark instead of thai characters.
I tried developing simple application in apex.oracle.com and I could reproduce the problem.It is showing "?" mark.
Below is the link:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=40394:1:1102169243398303
username: thai
paswd: thai123
Thai characters are displaying properly outside Apex.So there is no problem with BI Publisher.
I also tried the suggestion given in below link but no luck
Re: Cannot print out Chinese , show as '?' in pdf report
When I try the same thing in apex.oraclecorp.com it is working fine .I could clearly see thai characters.It is working fine
My Adobe version is 8.x
Is there any difference compared to apex.oraclecorp.com and apex.oracle.com settings for BI publisher?
nls_language on server = 'THAI_THAILAND.TH8TISASCII and' 'PlSqlLanguage = AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8'
System Locale is set to thai and also the browser encoding set to thai windows
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Kind Regards,
Anwar

Hello Mark,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Queries regarding Flash Builder and Augmented Reality.

I am Sarat from India. I'm a software engineer with working knowledge of Java, so Flash AS and OOP are understandable for me. I am working on an augmented reality project. I am quite new to Flash, Adobe Community and I've got some queries regarding Augmented Reality and Flash Builder:
1. Flash Builder 4.6 comes with a default Flex 4.6 SDK. However, Flex 4.6 SDK wasn't allowing me to compile and run some example files. So I've downloaded Flex 4.0A version from Adobe.com. Now the examples are running fine, but would there be any problem if i try deploying such projects in a website or as a desktop app? Once the code is compiled into a swf file, the flex framework used doesn't make much difference, does it?
2. Would the AR project run effectively on a website, given various internet/processor speeds worldwide? Would the effectiveness of the AR project, deployed on a website, depend on the number of triangles in the 3D models i.e. dae files? Because as per my understanding heavy models implies more time to download the flash app into the local browser from the internet and more time to render them by the papervision 3D engine right?
3. Can we develop a stand alone desktop AR app using Flash Builder? Using Adobe AIR we can, i guess. Please refer some tutorial, if possible.
4. I've seen that we can implement multiple-marker-tracking AR using vectors/arrays in AS. Would there be any performance issues depending on the size of the vectors/arrays used.
5. Can someone please mention some tips to improve performance of an AR app (desktop app and web app)?
6. What would be, approximately, the cost of FLARManager, FLARToolkit commercial versions, if you have any idea? I've gone through their website but they did not mention the costs.
7. Would applying bitmap material to the dae models pull down the web app/mobile app/desktop app performance, given some 4 to 5 dae models in the scene?
8. Is it advisable to use multiple markers with multiple dae models or single marker with Flash-based GUI option to load different models onto the same marker?
It would be very helpful for me if someone could answer my above queries.
Sarat.

#1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
#2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
#3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
#4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
#5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
#6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
#7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
#8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

Word 2013 - Publish as PDF or XPS button causes excessive registry queries / high CPU when added to quick access toolbar

After installing Office 2013 Pro Plus on our XenApp 6.5 environment we noticed a drop in performance. Using taskmanager we could see winword.exe hit 20+% CPU usage when filling just 1 line with the same letter.
Some investigating lead us to the "Publish as PDF or XPS button", when it is added to the quick access toolbar the cpu usage doubles during keystrokes. Using procmon I noticed excessive registry reading, up to 150,000 lines in 10 seconds.
It seems to be a constant loop of the same queries to approx. 100 components in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\
I reproduced this in 3 different setups:
Win2008R2 + Office2013 Pro Plus 32-bit + Office 2013 updates until 12-nov 2014
Win 8.1 Laptop + Office2013 Pro Plus 32-bit + Office 2013 updates until 05-jan 2015
Win 8.1 Desktop + Office2013 Pro Plus 64-bit + Office 2013 updates until 17-dec 2014
Can anyone verify this behaviour? For now we've removed the shortcut from the quick access toolbar in our environment.
Here's a small portion of the queries.

I'll do that, I'm however still interested if somebody can confirm the excessive registry queries.
As a brief test, I captured winword.exe (2013) registry-reads on my Win8.1 pc (64bit Windows), with ProcMon.
this is over a capture period of less than one second
2092 of 2352 contain "component" in the reg path
this is when I have winword open and whilst "File, Export" is displayed (this is what offers the export-to-PDF option)
vs. 168 registry operations in an interval of 10 seconds, by winword.exe, if word is simply "running in background with an open blank document"
I'm not sure if that is useful, but it seems an awful lot of registry reads/writes from an application which isn't apparently doing anything at the time..
EDIT: similar registry read/write rate, when save-as-pdf is added to QAT (again sitting idle on a blank document). the registry read/write rate drops back down to 160 if the save-as-pdf feature is then removed from QAT.

VAMT tool queries

Please confirm and clarify on the below queries
-          Can we use the vamt tool without initiating a KMS host
-          If we push the key without the KMS host what would be the outcome and the remaining activation process
-          If we push through the KMS hot with Internet connection can we directly activate the product
-          If we have the KMS host but still if we don’t have internet in the end user PC what would be the outcome
Kindly explain the scenario of usage in VAMT tool
my requirement is to activate a Bulk quantity using the vamt tool .

-          Can we use the vamt tool without initiating a KMS host
Yes. You can use VAMT without KMS, and, you can use KMS without VAMT.
-          If we push the key without the KMS host what would be the outcome and the remaining activation process
If you push a KMSclient pkey, and you don't have a KMShost, the KMSclients will not activate.
If you push a MAK pkey, you can leave the MAK client machines to activate over internet themselves, or you can use VAMT to trigger the MAK client machines to activate over internet, or, you can use VAMT Proxy-activation (useful if your MAK client machiens don't
have internet access)
-          If we push through the KMS hot with Internet connection can we directly activate the product
Yes, if the VAMT machine has internet access, you can use Proxy-activation (the VAMT machine collects the data from the MAK client machine and performs "proxy-activation" by pushing the data to MSFT internet activation service, retrieving the activation
data and then pushing to the MAK client. In this scenario, KMS is not used.
-          If we have the KMS host but still if we don’t have internet in the end user PC what would be the outcome
KMSclients do not activate via internet to MSFT, KMSclients only activate to your on-premises KMShost.
