Metric conversion

Can anyone tell me how they would go about converting a set value for meters to an equivalent number of yards, feet and inches with yards and feet both being integers.
Example:
10 meters is equal to:
10 yards
2 feet
1.32424 inches
I was able to get an applet to produce the equivalent in yards, feet or inches but not altogether to describe one value.
I hate to ask math problems but my java solution doesn't seem to work correctly.

You mean, how do you convert 10.703451 yards to that?
double dYards = 10.703451; // insert your calculation here
int iYards = (int)dYards;
double dFeet = (dYards - iYards) * 3;
int iFeet = (int)dFeet;
double dInches = (dFeet - iFeet) * 12;

How to Perform Imperial to Metric Conversions in Mapping

Hi All,
I have the conversions in mapping from Imperial to Metric Conversions.( Ex: kg's to LB's and ect...)
Do i need to follow any standard conversion table or can i perform simply in mapping with calculations
How do i proceed for this, could you please suggest me in this
Regards
Vamsi

>>Do i need to follow any standard conversion table or can i perform simply in mapping with calculations
I dont think there is any conversion table for this within XI.
You can just do in mapping with calculations.
Thanks

Imperial/metric conversion of text

Hi everyone,
Im after a script or some direction for a script to convert a large number of text objects. I'd like to be able to convert from metres to yards and vice versa. All the text objects would be on the same layer and only contain integers and symbols such as (25) -23.
If the conversion could select all the text on one layer, and then convert and copy to a new layer it would be helpful but this can be done manually if needed. Is this possible? Im not familiar with scripting really but can learn what i need to get this script going. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

This should give you a basic example… You can do this just using plain JavaScript Math or by using unitValues… This should be easy enough for you to play with… As is… it only works with text contents that are all numbers… You will need to explain further your text I think…
#target illustrator
addMeasurements();
function addMeasurements() {
    var i, doc, imp, met, txtItems, txt, nub;
    doc = app.activeDocument;
    imp = doc.layers.getByName( 'Inch' );
    met = doc.layers.add(); met.name = 'MM';
    txtItems = imp.textFrames;
    for ( i = 0; i < txtItems.length; i++ ) {
        txtItems[i].duplicate( met, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND )
    txtItems = met.textFrames;
    for ( i = 0; i < txtItems.length; i++ ) {
        var nub = parseInt( txt = txtItems[i].contents ); // For Numbers only!!!!
        txtItems[i].contents = String( nub * 2.83464567 )

Applet shows in IE but not netscape

I've made an applet in the following page:
http://members.tripod.com/hb13/3rmMain.html
It works perfectly in NN6, but IE just shows me a blank page.
Any Ideas?
Thnx in advance

Any Ideas?In IE, the <applet> tag doesn't work with Swing applets. To make it work, you can use code like the following. (I copied it from my english-to-metric conversions page.)
And no, I didn't write all this myself; the JDK comes with a program called HTMLConverter, which will convert the <applet> tag into code that's supposed to work on all browsers. Instructions for it are somewhere on this site.

Anyone have rough metrics re. Extended WH Tax conversion run-time?

Does anyone have any rough statistics regarding re. performance/run-time of the data conversion program that is run when activating extended WH tax in a live company code? Of greatest interest would be some rough numbers for a system with as high a record count as is available.
Thanks.

My conversion metrics aren't matching up with my visits/orders metrics.

Any help that can be provided on why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated.

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

Fedex can only be used with dreamweaver using metric, not pounds (lbs)

Fedex can only be used with dreamweaver using metric, not pounds (lbs), evidently?
This as per their tier 2 tech suport.
They say I should just convert to metric, no joke!
Any ideas would be greatly appreaciated?
Also a warning to anyone thinking of using business catalyst for their site, sorry, their business.
Their note to me:

    Thanks for contacting us Michael
Our engineering team has detected some problems when doing weight conversions (from the quantities entered in the interface to what’s used when making the API calls to FedEx) -
He have added this to our internal bug tracker to be fixed for one of the future releases.
    I realise that this might not be what you wanted to hear,but at this moment we do't have a workaround in order to send the
dimensions in pounds and not in KG
    Sorry for this inconvenience!
Kind regards,

If you're in US it will be in pounds. If your site is set any other country
in the rest of the world it will be metric. So BC or as you call it
Dreamweaver will look at the site country, which you set when creating the
site

Data Conversion In SAP XI

I need convert some data from one metric system to another when mapping, how to implement it in XI easily? do I need to implement java code or just design at integration repository?
Message was edited by: Spring Tang

Hi Spring,
May be you can try this method.
1. write the conversion routines as functions in a JAVA class.
2. convert it as a JAR.
3. import it in Integration Repository.
4. now in "user defined function", you can use the methods, present in the imported JAR.
this time also u need to create user defined function for each mapping, but that "user defined function" will have only one statement, the function call from that imported JAVA class.
hope this helps. if any clarification revert back.
regards,
P.Venkat

Base Unit of Measure to Sales Unit Conversion

Hi,
Currently we are selling material in MT and all other transactions in MM and Production are in MT only.
Now client wants material to be sold in Meters, also in some cases the same material will be sold in MT also.
(As per my knowledge generally if the conversion is one to one i.e. base unit of measure is pieces and Sales unit of measure will be boxes and
1 box = 10 pieces can be maintained in material master.)
Here for conversion between Metric tonne to Meters there is formula involved so how and where this conversion needs to maintained in system.
How to map this type of scenario.
What all activities needs to be done from SD side and which other modules need to be involved this process.
Note: SAP is installed for more than 3 years now.
Hope i clear enough.
Regards,

Hi following is the formula.
OD = Outer diameter, thickness, length, Number of tubes are maintained in sales order charateristics during sales order creation.
OD
Thickness
Weight in Kgs / M
length of tube
Nos of tubes
Total length in Mtrs
Rate / MT
Rate / Mtr
A
X = (A-B)*B*0.02456
'L
N
T= L xN/1000
R
M=R/1000*X

Quantity Conversion

Hi!
I would like to use the Quantity Conversion function (RSUOM) to convert Sales Quantity in base unit (0QUANT_B) from datasource 2LIS_11_VAITM, to a quantity in other Unit of measure with reference to the material?
I just know that the infoobject 0MAT_UNIT can help, but I have no idea in how to do so.
Here is some sample data:
Sales: Material A 10PC
Conversion: 100PC = 160 M2 (Square meter)
Expect to show in report: Material A 16 M2.
Could anyone here please kindly told me the detail steps in doing it?
Thank You very much!!
Best Regards,
Chris

Dear Chris,
I need some help from you, I have gone through your Link in SDN.
I want to convert all the material in to MT ( Metric Tons ) , I try to convert in BEx ( Report Level ) I have followed all the Steps what you have mentioned I this LINK.
Quantity Conversion
This is My Thread , I have posted in SDN but
/thread/529862 [original link is broken]
I think you have solved this Quantity Conversion Issue .
I highly appreciate , if you could send any screen shorts to me.

How can I have OEM's Metric numbers in PLSQL code?

Hi,
I have the following Metric numbers in the web based OEM:
CPU Used
Run Queue Length
Physical Reads (KB)
Redo Size (KB)
User I/O
System I/O
Network
Concurrency
Commit
I know above Metric numbers come from V$ tables such as: V$SESSION, V$SYSSTAT, V$SESSION_WAIT, V$SYSTEM_EVENT
Is there anyway that OEM shows me how exactly it gets these numbers, so I can have the very same number in my PLSQL code?
Thank you,
Alan

Hi Justin,
I just used this query to find the “Run Query Length”:
select * from v$statname where LOWER(name) like '%queue%'
It gives me the following result:
enqueue timeouts
enqueue waits
enqueue deadlocks
enqueue requests
enqueue conversions
enqueue releases
global enqueue gets sync
global enqueue gets async
global enqueue get time
global enqueue releases
global enqueue CPU used by this session
summed dirty queue length
queue update without cp update
queue splits
queue flush
queue position update
queue single row
queue ocp pages
queue qno pages
How could I find the relevant rows?
I am having a similar challenge to find values for “CPU Used” metric
Thank you,
Alan

Your opinion: ILT-to-eLrn conversion producitivity rate

Thanks ahead for your thoughts, opinions, facts, etc.
I'm trying to determine appropriate productivity rates for converting instructor-led training (IT subject matter) to elearning using Captivate. Most of the instructional design is in place; however, content will need to be re-chunked, and sims will need to be developed. I'd rate the content as average to complex.
As a starting point, I'm using the eLearning Guild's survey results (from 2002). They state that the average range of hours required to develop one finished hour of elearning are:
Asynchronous
Synchronous
Simple
117
86
Average
191
147
Complex
276
222
The above metrics represent from-scratch development, and are all-inclusive, i.e., they include SME efforts, production, QA, etc. I'm assuming that ILT to elearning conversion would/should merit better productivity, and using a rapid dev tool like Captivate would speed things along even further.
Would anyone care to provide a ratio based on educated guess? or stab-in-the-dark? either is fine
Thanks,
Alaina

Problems with Excel 2007 PDF conversion

I'm trying to convert an Excel 2007 workbook into a PDF. I installed Acrobat 8.1.3 Professional onto my machine and it put an Acrobat Menu choice in Excel. So I can convert, but now I have a host of problems/issues, probably arising from the fact that I'm new to this.
1. The Acrobat add-in moved my Page Breaks inside Excel
2. Now I can't seem to change the page breaks at all in Page Break Preview
3. My Reset Page Breaks in Excel is grayed out
4. Acrobat conversion gave me a message "Cannot create tags for Worksheets with Print Titles. Clear Print Titles field in Page Setup dialog". I did have Print titles, but now in that dialog box they don't show. The field isn't even editable.
I have saved the Excel file, not realizing that this Acrobat add-in has apparently altered the Excel file itself. I am now told by someone that I should just not use that Acrobat menu in Excel, and load the Excel file from Acrobat 8 itself. Nice to know. But is there anyway to "reset" my Excel file and remove/adjust what's been done to it, especially the Page Breaks. Or am I missing something obvious?

In general, you should not have the page breaks and all locked out by the addition of the Adobe PDF printer and converter. One trick to pull is to try to find the option in Excel Options that allows the output to use the printer metrics and be sure it is turned off. That should mean that you do not get changes as you change the printer. However, the issue of some of your menu items being locked and such is strange.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply!
I checked into "Landing Page Activity for Date Range" report again and accidently hovered over "Form Conversion Rate"; it displayed the formula as "Total Form Submissions / Total Form Views". I added that metric to the report and saved locally. Now the Form Conversion Rate does equal to the calculation of Total Form Submissions / Total Form Views; data copied below. However, that formula is different from the one specified in the "Insight_ReportDetails_Guide", which is "Total Submits / Total Page Views").
Now, here comes the new questions for your help/ideas/suggestions -
    - How come in our "Landing Page Activity for Date Range", the formula for Form Conversion Rate is different from the one listed in "Insight_ReportDetails_Guide"?
    - Can we change it to use this formula: Total Submits / Total Page Views?
    - Which one indeed is the correct calculation for Form Conversion Rate in "Landing Page Activity for Date Range" report?
