'Merge Data Values' on data manager package

Hi there
I have a query with the 'Copy' data manager package. We are currently selecting 'Merge Data Values' which appears to be finding anything where the key already exists and replacing it with the new data. That's fine.
However, our user is wanting to consolidate various different category members into a single category member. Therefore, we would like to run a package to SUM new values with what is already in the cube rather than first delete and replace with the latest value.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,
Please read this: BPC 7.5/10.0 : MOVE Data manager Package with keyfigure additions on move
Or you can use script logic to add values like:
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%+[CATEGORY].[DESTINATION],CATEGORY=DESTINATION)

Dsiplay data values and data lables in a stacked column chart

Hi All
Is there a way to display data values and data labels in a stacked column chart. Mouse over or display of labels in legends wont help. It has to be in the chart .
Regards,
anshul

Hi Anshul,
You can display either data value or data label in a stacked column chart by checking the Data Label Displaying Mode option under Format Chart->Data Values.
You can also do the same by checking the same option under Format chart->Area Display->Data Values.
I dont think you would be able to display both in a column chart whereas you would be able to do it in a pie chart.
Hope this helps.

Convert Varchar2 datatype Date Value To Date Datatype

Hello,

Converting the user response date value to date data type

Hi,
I have a parameter which takes date as input (from date and to date).
I need to get the difference between these two dates.
So i can use the function todate(userresponsedate,"dd/mm/yyyy")
but here i cannot hardcode the date format as dd/mm/yyyy.
Because my reports needs to support to multiple locales and so if i change the browser locale to japanese the input date will appear some thing like yyyy/dd/mm.
So my function todate(userresponsedate,"dd/mm/yyyy") is failing over here.Its is giving #error
Is there any option where it takes the browser locale date format.
ex: todate(userresponsedate,browserlocaledateformat)
So that it works irrespective of the browser locale
Thanks in advance

HI
Try to use this formula
formatdate(todate(userresponse("enter from date");"");"dd/MM/yyyy")
In the report level you will see only dd/MM/yyyy as string
Hope this helps u

Column formatting based on grouping data value- advanced data grid

Hello Everyone,
I am using advanced data grid to display hierarchial data nested upto depth 4. I have to color the leaf nodes conditionally based on the grouped column value.
Say for Eg.,
If the data is something like
Company
     Manager
          Jim          $4000
          John        $3000
     Accountant
          Smith     $2000
          Sam       $3000
I have to color Jim and John based on they being a manager. In other words, how do I get Manager and Company information for the leaf rows. The data is serial to start with and I am grouping it before displaying.
Please let me know how this could be done.
Thanks
Arun

Dynamic Date Value for Date Range Parameter - Scheduling in BI

Hi,
I am New to BO Enterprise XI R3. I want to schedule the Crystal report which takes Date Range as parameter. Is any option available to calculate From Date automatically based on Current Date based on the range required?
Currently, Parameter option accepts parameters and enterprise process the report for configured parameters. In this case, report always prints only for configured date range eventhough report generated after one month. I am expecting report has to print data for date range (eg. 1 weeks, 4 days, or any range) based on system current date.
Thanks in Advance,
Venkateswaran.P

I'm am in the same situation. I need to be able to have the date parameter dynamically change based on the current day's date when I schedule a report. However, because this parameter comes from a Stored Procedure from the database, it cannot be modified in the Report Designer (as far as I know). I've tried to set a default for it to use "currentdate" but it doesn't seem to take. Anyone know if this can be accomplished in the scheduler?
Thanks

View Panel : Change color of data values in channel table

Hi,
Is there a way wherein I can change the color of a particular data value or data block in a channel in the VIEW panel and can this be done programtically? I am using DIAdem 2010.
Looking forward for your response
Thanks in advance
Priya

Hi Pria,
There is no way to change the color of various cells in a VIEW table. This can be done (for the text color, not the cell background) in a REPORT table with the help of a customer-defined UserCommand. I can send you an example of this if having the display in REPORT would help.
If you had a newer version of DIAdem, you could embed a SUDialog in a VIEW area, and this SUDialog could have an XTable control that would enable you to show this type of display-- not easy, and not with DIAdem 10.2, but at least something to consider.

Change of sign when running the data management package

Hi All,
I have written a script logic for copying my Budget member under category dimension to say another member say "XYZ" under category dimension and this is for my Member Sales under ACcount dimension having acctype as inc.
When i run the logic thru default i am getting the correct value. however if i run the same thru data manager package- my sign changes.
Eg. 100000 is copied as -100000 and -50000 is copied as 50000.
Please help me out
Regards
Navin

Hi Navin,
CREDITPOSITIVE= YES | NO
Default: YES
If No, all amounts referring to an ACCOUNT type (LEQ, INC) will have their signs reversed.
Since you are referring to the member account sales as INC the default logic considers the sign as reversed.
Please look at this link which helps you to understand
Significance of Account Type EXP,LEQ,INC,AST in BPC- Need some valid reason
Hope this helps.

Error in Execution of Data Manager Package

Hi Folks,
We are facing the following error while executing the Data Manager Package for Clear/Import..
Error Details:
[Admin-ProcessPartition]Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found: Table: dbo_tblFactFinance, Column: ENTITY, Value: CONEUROPE.

Hello,
It looks like you have an inconsistency on the OLAP level. Please try to reprocess Entity dimension choosing full process for your application. This should solve the issue.

The Full Optimization & Lite Optimization Data Manager packages are failing

Hi,
The Full Optimization and Lite Optimization Data Manager packages are failing with the following message "An Error occured while querying for the webfolders path".
Can anyone had similar issue earlier, please let me know how can we rectify the issue.
Thanks,
Vamshi Krishna

Hi,
Does the Full Optimize work from the Administration Console directly?
If it's the case, delete the scheduled package for Full Optimize every night (in both eData -> Package Schedule Status and in the Scheduled Tasks on your server Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks), and then try to reschedule it from scratch.
If it's not solving your problem, I would check if there are some "wrong" records into the FACT and FAC2 tables.
After that, I would also check if the tblAppOptimize is having other values than 0. For all applications, you should have a 0 there.
Hope this will help you..
Best Regards,
Patrick

Header value in data table can be fetched from managed bean.

hi
My requirement is to display a report in which column headers are also retrieved from data base, it cannot be hardcoded.
instead of My Column it should come from managed bean
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="My Column"/>
</f:facet>
I am not able to fetch the header value from the managed bean.
I tried
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="#{character.name}"/>
</f:facet>
but failed.
Is there any way i can fetch these values at run time.

Is that bean the main bean or the row object? It should be the main bean. There is only one column per table, its value is not to be derived from the row object.

Accounting for varying values in Data merging

Hi everyone,
I've been asked to create a template for a degree certificate. So far I've created an InDesign document and used data merge to import the data from a .csv file. I've also used GREP styles to resize the name of the degree when it's longer than a certain number of characters. So far so good.
My question has to do with how to account for different categories of certificates. Let me explain. In my spreadsheet I have thre types of certificates A, B, and C. Each category triggers two specific bits of text. So for example:
When Cat = A
the following blurb appears at the top of the certificate:
WHEREAS THE UNIVERSITY OF NOWHERE HAS BEEN EMPOWERED BY ACTS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF MARS TO CONFER DEGREES AND AWARD DIPLOMAS OF THE UNIVERSITY
and the following text appears just before the name of the degree:
HAS BEEN ADMITTED BY THE UNIVERSITY TO THE DEGREE OF
When Cat = B
the following blurb appears at the top of the certificate:
WHEREAS THE UNIVERSITY OF NOWHERE HAS BEEN EMPOWERED BY ACTS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF MARS TO CONFER DEGREES AND AWARD DIPLOMAS OF THE UNIVERSITY
and the following text appears just before the name of the degree:
HAS BEEN AWARDED THE
When Cat = C
there is no blurb at the top of the certificate.
but the following text appears just before the name of the degree:
HAS BEEN AWARDED THE
I first thought of creating IF formulas in Excel but it doesn't work because I don't want the result to appear in the data, I want it to only appear once merged in the InDesign template.
SO THE QUESTION IS:
Is there any way to specify IF THEN values directly in the InDesign document? If not, does anyone have any idea if what I'm being asked to do here is even possible?
Any help or nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated,
Chris

Hi Christine,
I'll need to work through the example, but it would be that the blurbs are on thier own separate layers of page 1. And the data fields are simply on their own layer, still on that page.
That's as far as I got in a quick perusal of his example. I plan on recreating the example tonight when I have a bit of my own time to spend. I suspect it will be a lot more clear following the example, bit for bit. If it does work out as it seems it should, I can think of a. coupon job I merged that would have (maybe) been easier than the 5 merge files I ended up with.
I do want to mention, pointing back to my earlier comments, if there is anyway you can work with the IT people to produce a clean file ready for you, I would do so. Colin mentioned XML, and that is what I would strive for in this situation. But XML is a bit like being thrown into the deep end of the pool and learning to swim at the same time.
