Navigation list issue with dynamic variable

Hi All,
I'm a little bit stock with (maybe) a little issue. I'm looking for a way to put variable on a navigation list in the same page. E.X. there is where my navigation list is pointing : f?p=&APP_ID.:20:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P20_3,P20_1,P20_2:#État#,#Année Comptable#,#Période Comptable#: .
I Need to inherit the value ( #État#,#Année Comptable#,#Période Comptable#:) from a sql query from the main region (list are in a subregion ).
Could some one help me with that please ?
Thanks in advance !!
Eric

Hmm.. on the last APEX SIG day in Belgium Oracle was very dark about that (as usual).
They even were not sure what features would definitely be present in the new version.
They did however expect it to be somewhere in october / november
again. you can mimic by using a report-region looking like a list

Richard

IMPORT statement with dynamic variable

Friends, Need Help!!!!!!!
Im trying IMPORT variable contents from a cluster table VARI. I can do a IMPORT without issues when I use exact name of the variable but I have issues with dynamic variable selection. Pls see code below.
loop at objects.
assign objects-name to <fs>.
IMPORT <fs> to tmp_var from database vari(va) id st_key.
endloop.
I do not get any value to tmp_var. Need help!
thanks
Bhaskar

Try this.
loop at objects.
IMPORT (objects-name) to tmp_var from database vari(va) id st_key.
endloop.
Does it work?

BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

Dear experts,
I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100
To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
(The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
PO1 -> 150
PO2 -> 90
PO3 -> 80
Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref characteristic 'constant =1' ...
Any though is welcome!
thanks

Hi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?
I need to generate a report with varying column names (state names) as follows:
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM States ;
I get these column names from the result of another query.
In order to clarify my question, Please consider following table:
CREATE TABLE TIME_PERIODS (
PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50) PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE STATE_INCOME (
     NAME     VARCHAR2 (2),
     PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50)     REFERENCES TIME_PERIODS (PERIOD) ,
     INCOME     NUMBER (12, 2)
I like to generate a report as follows:
AK CA DE FL ...
PERIOD1 1222.23 2423.20 232.33 345.21
PERIOD2
PERIOD3
Total 433242.23 56744.34 8872.21 2324.23 ...
The TIME_PERIODS.Period and State.Name could change dynamically.
So I can't specify the state name in Select query like
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM
What is the best way to generate this report?

Issue with Dynamic Link with Premiere CC and After Effects

I'm having a strange and annoying issue with Dynamic linked clips in Premiere CC:
When I render or export my timeline the progress will stall when it hits a dynamic linked clip. It will stay stalled until I click the After Effects application and make it the active window. Once that happens the render/export resumes at normal speed.
This is annoying as I can't start a render and walk away or work on different windows, I have to babysit all the renders to make sure they go through.
Has anybody experienced this and know of any solutions?
I'm running the latest version of Premiere (7.2.1) and After Effects 12.2.0.52 on Mavericks 10.9.1 with a GTX 770 Video Card.

Does it still pause if AE is closed completely? I often experience slower AME renders from Premiere over dynamic link material when AE is open. Closing AE speeds things up. Go figure.

Xcelsius Engage: Issue with dynamic visibilty of data in dashboard

Hi,
We have a requirement for a dashboard where data for 5 Sites need to be displayed as per 17 KPIs and 12 different rolling months.
Raw sample data looks like below-
SITE KPI        ActYTD Act(Pre Month) PlanYTD Plan(Prev Month) VarianceYTD Variance(Pre Month)
A       On-Time   76.7         82.92                  111.50       109.50             -1                    -1
B       Delay       73.70       80.00                   79.75        77.75             -1                     1
There are 5 different Sites and 17 different KPIs.
Based on the raw data that we get from BI (7.0 query output), we manipulate it in MS excel, using some lookups and formulae to obtain certain values, store them in designated sheets and then Xcelsius (different components) use these sheets as source.
We are having three levels of navigation-
1. Main screen listing all KPIs site wise and months ( the site and months could be selected from Combo boxes at the top). The KPIs are bind to a list view, each row is a selectable KPI leading to level two navigation.
2. Level two contains the details for each KPI ( values and trend chart). Selection in the chart for a Site leads to level 3 navigation.
3. Level 3 screen contains data by KPI and by Site for 12 rolling months ( The sites could be changed from a drop-down).
There are custom navigation buttons (home/back) to enable navigations between the screens.
We are using 3 panel containers, 2 list views, 4-5 combo boxes and some hidden button ( with dynamic visibilty).
The workbook has 8-9 different sheets, though the Xcelsius componets are bound to only 3 sheets.
Things work fine till we select 14th KPI , but Xcelsius starts behaving awkwardly when we select 15th KPI and further.For the selected KPI, the level two screen would load for a flash of a second and then the control comes back to level 1 screen. We do not face this issue till 14th KPI.
In-order to eliminate possibiltes we did the following-
1. Changed the order of KPIs - issue persists
2. Changed the Excel option " Max. no of Rows" to 4000- issue persists
3. Decreased the amount of data to be loaded - issue persists ( though at max we are loading data for 2000 rows)
4. Decreased the no. of KPIs to 14 in level 1 list view - all works fine.
We have not noticed any gradual decrease in performance/load time till 14th KPI but everything goes for a toss when the 15th KPI is displayed.
We are on the latest Xcelsius patch ( patch 3).
We would appreciate any pointers/help to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Best Regards,
Bansi.

Performance issues with dynamic action (PL/SQL)

Hi!
I'm having perfomance issues with a dynamic action that is triggered on a button click.
I have 5 drop down lists to select columns which the users want to filter, 5 drop down lists to select an operation and 5 boxes to input values.
After that, there is a filter button that just submits the page based on the selected filters.
This part works fine, the data is filtered almost instantaneously.
After this, I have 3 column selectors and 3 boxes where users put values they wish to update the filtered rows to,
There is an update button that calls the dynamic action (procedure that is written below).
It should be straight out, the only performance issue could be the decode section, because I need to cover cases when user wants to set a value to null (@) and when he doesn't want update 3 columns, but less (he leaves '').
Hence P99_X_UC1 || ' = decode(' || P99_X_UV1 ||','''','|| P99_X_UC1 ||',''@'',null,'|| P99_X_UV1 ||')
However when I finally click the update button, my browser freezes and nothing happens on the table.
Can anyone help me solve this and improve the speed of the update?
Regards,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
I do not think that the decode is performance relevant. Maybe the update hangs because some other transaction has uncommitted changes to one of the affected rows or the where clause is not selective enough and needs to update a huge amount of records.
Besides that - and I might be wrong, because I only know some part of your app - the code here looks like you have a huge sql injection vulnerability here. Maybe you should consider re-writing your logic in static sql. If that is not possible, you should make sure that the user input only contains allowed values, e.g. by white-listing P99_X_On (i.e. make sure they only contain known values like '=', '<', ...), and by using dbms_assert.enquote_name/enquote_literal on the other P99_X_nnn parameters.

Issues with dynamic text box formatting

I'm running into issues with using HTML formatting for a dymanic text field. I know these are quirky and I cannot figure out how to get the formatting proper.
I have on my stage a dynamic text box called "content_txt" inside of a movie clip instance "content_mc". When it enters the frame, I fade the "content_mc" from alpha 0 to 100 using a timeline animation. In order for this to work, I have to embed the font in my "content_txt" text field. However, the only way I get get the HTML formatting to work is if I do not embed the font.
The dymanic text field is set to render as HTML. In my actions layer, I set the text:
this.content_mc.content_txt.htmlText = "<b>Hello world,</b> it is me again."
In summary:
1. If I do not embed the font, the alpha fade does not work but the HTML formatting does.
2. If I embed the font, the alpha fade works but the HTML formatting does not.
How do I resolve this? It's driving me nuts!

How do you embed just one style?
I've tried typing three words in the text field and formatting each (regular, bold, italic) but the text field just defaults to whichever format is first.
Also, I tried embeding the whole character list and did not have success.

Issues with Shared Variables in Systems Running for Extended Periods of Time

I am designing a large SCADA system using LabVIEW DSC and cRIOs. My plan is to use shared variables to communicate the majority of the information across my network (much like "tags" in a normal SCADA system).
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced issues (connection failures, etc...) with shared variables running on systems for months (both real-time and windows based PCs) without the cRIO or PC being restarted/redeploying the variables. What is the stability of the Shared Variable Engine over extended periods of time?
Thank you for the input.
--CLD--
LV 6.1, 8.6.1, 2011 SP1, 2012 SP1

I have a system with 2 cRIO's each with Ethercat extension chassis. Each cRIO hosts ~100 NSV's and is running the scan engine at 40 Hz.
Each cRIO is coupled to a HMI that has front panel control bindings to NSV's hosted on the cRIO as well as a windows hosted mirror library (used for citadel db logging) that is also bound to the cRIO NSV library. The cRIO's have monay months of contiguous run time without reboot and I closely monitor cpu and memory usage and also rt performance metrics and will log faults if there are any such events. I also use NSV's for messaging from the HMI to the cRIO for such things as setting zero offset values and deploying configuration parameters. My overall findings are that the SV engine and the PSP are stable and efficient (especially NSV<->NSV and NSV<->HMI binding)

Issue with Default Variable in WAD after Java Patch 7.01.7.31

Hello all,
I'm running into an issue with the Web Application Designer Template execution for a particular default variable. This started occuring after Java Patch 7.01.7.31 we had implented over the weekend.
The issue is when Executing the WAD Template, we have a selection screen with a variable with default values assigned to it. When leaving the default values and hitting Ok to execute through the screen does not register and stays as is and I get a message at the top with the following: Characteristic Prob % Number has no master data for "1.00" or you do not have authorization.
This only seems to occur for this default variable on info object Prob % Number, the other default variables seem to work fine. Also another note when clearing out the values it returns data and executes through. The value 1.00 is also a valid value in the cube and also in the output display. If we run this report in the BEx analyzer, the selection screen executes through with the default variable perfectly fine, this is only an issue with the Web Application Designer Template.
Has anyone ran into this? I've searched and have not found any notes as of yet.
Thank you,
-Andy

Dear Andy,
Please raise this to SAP, seems like a strange problem this needs to be addressed by OSS note only.
Close this thread once you get a solution.

Issue with declaring variable

I am developing a multiuser application in flash, using smartfox server and as 2.0, but i am having an issue with defining/declaring a variable/object/array, and then accessing it. I am attempting to define "curMap" (whether it be a variable, array, object, whatever works) within the following function, as the returned array from the server, "resObj". This works fine as long as i only call up "curMap" WITHIN this function(as you see in the line : r_txt.text = curMap;) however whenever I try to call up "curMap" on the frame coding, outside the function, it comes back as undefined, or typically nothing. Any Ideas as to how to properly do/assign this? I have tried various things(such as _root., _global, or defining the var "curMap" outside the function) with no luck.
Here is my Code:
smartfox.onExtensionResponse = function(resObj:Object, type:String)
        if (type == "xml")
                if (resObj._cmd == "getMap")
                    curMap = resObj.db[0];
                    r_txt.text = curMap;
                }else if (resObj._cmd == "getSurr"){
                 surrMap = resObj.db;
                 b_txt.text = surrMap[0];
thanks

ahhh! yup that fixes it, thanks!

Issue With OLAP Variable

HI all,
we have an issue with the OLAP variable. One of the SAP olap variable(0P-perf1) is processed as Authorisation. where it should be sap exit. When we try to change at the BEx analyzer it was in disabled status.

Issue with substitution variable with @MDSHIFT in BR in Calc Manager

Hi Experts,
We have a BR in EAS which is working fine.
and exported to Calcmanager, now while validation it is giving error "@BaseScenario" is not found.
the code is
@MDSHIFT("LFLSalesIncVAT_GBP_C_DHP"->&BaseScenario->"Final"->"CD_FinalPlanPL",-1,"Year",,1,"Period",);
if i hard code it like @MDSHIFT("LFLSalesIncVAT_GBP_C_DHP"->"P7PP"->"Final"->"CD_FinalPlanPL",-1,"Year",,1,"Period",); working fine.
is there any limitation with calc manger and substitution variables?
Thanks
GP

There seems to be many issues with validations in calc manager, does the rule run if you dont validate.
Cheers

C:set with dynamic variable name

Hello,
we have a litte market system.
we iterate over the articles to display them on a page
foreach article type we have to include a popup, but only once foreach article type.
So if we have more than one article of the same type, the popup should be included only one time.
<c:forEach var="article" items="#{MyArticleController.entities}">
    <c:if test="${requestScope[article.dtype] != true}">
        
        <c:set scope="request" var="${article.dtype}" value="1" />
    </c:if>
    
</c:forEach>I think the line with the c:set seems to be the problem.
How can I solve this problem. How can I set a dynamic value and test against it later?
Thanks
Dirk

You were close with your first example.
However as noted, the <c:set> tag doesn't accept a dynamic expression for the "var" attribute.
Suggested alternative: instead of using request attributes, have a seperate map
<jsp:useBean id="articleTypeUsed" class="java.util.HashMap"/>
<c:forEach var="article" items="#{MyArticleController.entities}">
    <c:if test="${not empty articleTypeUsed[article.dtype]}">
        
        <c:set target="${articleTypeUsed}" property="${article.dtype}" value="1" />
    </c:if>
    
</c:forEach>That should solve your issue with translating this java code into jstl.
Whether the mix of JSTL and JSF/ui will work well together is a completely seperate issue, and one I can't really help with.

Terminal issues with environmental variables

I am having an issue with persisting environmental variables during a session. I am running an app that requires the sequential running of 3 scripts setenv.sh, build.sh, run.sh.
The first script sets variables that are being used by the other scripts. The script just contains lines like
"export ADVISOR_HOME=/Applications/Blaze/Advisor65;"
if i add echo the variables name in the script they are set, but immediately after or with env they are gone.
From my understanding (not much) these should persist as long as the window is open. Is there any setting that is being set in OS X that is sandboxing scripts? It would seem to be security-minded but is causing problems.
Also is there any way to temporarily disable the requirement to prefix a command call with ./ in os x. Many of the included scripts are calling methods in the same directory and I am having to alter a lot of scripts to include ./
Thanks in advance,
walter

Do you mean you echo them from within the script and then they are gone after the script ends? That would be normal. If you want them to persist through the other scripts, you could combine the scripts. The problem is that you're setting them in one process and expecting them to persist in another process. Unless the second is a child of the first, that won't work. I think it would work if you executed the second two scripts from within the first script because they would then be children of the first process. Does that make sense? I'm not sure of the correct terminology here and I can't draw a tree which is what I want to do! Another option might be to source setenv.sh rather than running it (i.e. wouldn't need to be executable) - the same way the shell does when starting up, I think.

I don't think it has anything to do with windows. It is just when the process exits. If you set such variables at the command line, they'll persist until the window closes because they'll persist until the process exits which is usually when the window closes. At least, in the simplest cases. But it isn't the window staying open or not that's important. It's that everything else done in the window happens to inherit the environment from the parent process. In truth, this often isn't the case anyway, but I expect that's the source of the misunderstanding.

Nothing special that I know of. There is stuff for something like this in Leopard but you'd have to enable it and I'm not sure it applies here.

You can do this but it is extremely insecure. Essentially, you can add the current directory to PATH. (PATH=$PATH:./; export PATH) It would be much, much better - much, much safer - to edit the scripts. Can you not use sed to edit them? If there is some sort of pattern, there's no need to do it by hand.
If this is an application you plan to share, you should certainly not consider changing PATH in this way unless you are aiming to produce an application with maximum destructive potential! If you don't plan to share, of course, it is your call!
