Need help in creating custom crosstab reports

Hello
I need some help in creating custom crosstab reports.
My current report shows the number of events that have occured over the time in a day
The events and the eventdetails are read from the database before being printed on the crosstab
i.e something like this.
Note : there are no events between 3:00-3:59,5:00-5:59;6:00-6:59,7:00-7:59 (not present in the database)
hence not displayed in the reports
*08/07/2009*         01:00        02:00         04:00          08:00          10:00*
Event X                    1               1                 4                 1                  3
Event Y                   3               3                 2                 2                  1
Total                        4                4                 6                 3                  4
So far so good...
Now i have to enhance my reporting application to include the event details which have not happened i.e to include the time details in the crosstab reports where no events have happened
08/07/2009             01:00        02:00         03:00          04:00          05:00         6:00         07:00         8:00     9:00     10:00
Event X                     1               1                0                 4                  0             4             0                1            0           3
Event Y                     3               3                0                 2                  0             2             0                2            0           1
Total                         4                4                0                 6                  0             6             0                3            0           4
I have fell short of ideas this time around to implement such a thing
Any help in this direction is deeply appreciated

Need help in creating custom reports

hello,
I am using EM 10.2.0.2 on windows 32-bit.
All EM components are installed on a single machine.
Have installed AGENT 10.1.0.5 for managing targets which are on LINUX 2.1
Please help me in getting the solution for the following queries:
(a)I need to create a custom report regarding the CAPACITY MANAGEMENT .
(b)I have some UDM defined but I am not able to use these UDM while creating custom report.
(c)Also is there any possibility that we can use views other than REPOSITORY VIEWS. What I meant was : instead of using REPOSITORY VIEWS can we use the tables of the target instances.
Thanks in advance.

Need Help while Creating Customized Cubes

while creating customized cubes i have some problem. please clarify this.
i have 10 Characteristics and 5 KF's.
while creating IC assign the characteristics to the dimension.
is there any proposed rule for assinging the char to dimension or i can assign randomly.
regards
magesh

Hi magesh,
You should assign related characteristics to the same dimension.
Ex: salesregion, sales off and sales rep to the same dimension say " sales".
I.e., when the characteristics have some relationship like <b>one to many</b> you should assign them in the same dimension.
Take an ex of customerid and prodid..they have many to many relationship.In such case go for separate dimensions.
And if the characteristic is of type salesorder which has many distinct entries in fact table, go for line item dimensions.
<b>Note:</b> In line item dimension, you can include only one characteristic.
Hope its helpful

Need help on creating a new Report which is similar to SWI6

Hi There,
    I have task to create a report which gives the values as SWI6 txn. I need to get the values like time stamp, performer etc from swi6. I mean to say my report should contain those values. Can someone help me out with some relevent info?
Thanks in advance for your contribution
Reddy

Hi Sweta,
   First of all Thank you for information.
   It seems that you have provided me with swia T.code prog. The thing is I do not have the workitems to get that info. I only have my BO (AFVC_NETW) as well as network (PS module) number. Based on these 2 values i have to get a report with all the values like when that came in and when did the action take place and who is the performer. Could you please consider this and let me know other sol.
Thanks

Need help with creating custom form

hi all,
i'm working on creating a new form. it has 2 blocks for 2 tables. headers and lines tables. the headers table mostly have columns that are id's from other tables. i.e. customer_id, location_id etc.. in my screen, obviously i would not show the id's. i'll display the descriptions / names of the id's instead like customer_name for customer_id... but in order to do this i created a table that joins more than 2 tables. so in the block query data source name, i enter the name of this view.. then i add a ON-INSERT, ON-UPDATE, ON-DELETE triggers at block level and i call the corresponding package which does the insert, update and delete. i'm able to insert but update and delete causes a problem. "ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a join.. ".. i'm thinking the reason is that when the form does an update or delete, it locks the record which causes the error.. also the reason i need the view is because i need to be able to query the customer_name in the screen instead of the customer_id... what i can't figure out is how i can make this work... or a work-around may be...
can anyone help.
thanks

Matt Rasmussen wrote:
You're right that the form is locking the record so you just need to control how it locks the record with an on-lock trigger. From the Oracle Applications Developer's Guide:
page 3-9:
When basing a block on a view, you must code ON–INSERT, ON–UPDATE, ON–DELETE, and ON–LOCK triggers to insert, update, delete, and lock the root table instead of the view.
Most of the on-lock triggers I have written follow this template:
<pre>     SELECT     field1, field2, field3
     INTO     :block.field3, :block.field2, :block.field3
     FROM     view
     WHERE     rowid = :block.row_id
     FOR UPDATE OF field1, field2, field3;</pre>
I think once you've added this trigger, your form will work the way you want it.hi,

Need help on creating custom skins like chrome

Hi,
I want to create my custom skin like chrome with my own play, pause and seek buttons. Can anybody point me to any documents that can help me to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amit

Thats a very open ended question. We have built a sample OSMF player and a skinning solution you can take a look at. http://code.google.com/p/reops/
There are templates and a PDF that describes the capabilities and process. Also walkthrough style samples.
Otherwise the generic answer is desgn as you see fit, and implement the controls as display objects or part of the MediaContainer which could be done as custom MediaElements, then link them to the MediaPlayer or MediaPlayerSprite and call the approp API methods (play/pause/stop/seek/etc.)

Need help on creating customized visual datagrid

Hi all,
I am new to Flex and just downloaded the trial version of
Flex Builder 3 to test it.
Basically, what I need is a visual representation of some
XML-data from a web-server.
I have managed to use a HttpService-object to import the
XML-file and also succesfully been able to show the data in a
DataGrid.
What I want now is to show the XML data in another visual
context. I want some child elements in the XML-file to float in the
Flex-page as graphical "bubbles" that floats around, so the user
can click on one of them to select the specif child element in the
XML-file.
Have anyone of you guys any experience on how to make that
possible? Any links to any resources etc?
Thank you very much in advance,
Lasse
Denmark

Hi Sreenivas,
Thank you for your response!
I've been taken a look on the Bubble Charts diagram, but that
is not really what I am looking for.
What I need is some bubbles floating randomly on the screen
(perhaps moving around). From what I can see, the Bubble Charts
diagram requires some predifined data to construct the position og
size - I want that to be randomized (without the possibility that
the bubbles float into each other).
Can anybody help on that? Please let me know if the problem
is not described clearly.

Need help to create report with jpeg/gif image

Hello,
I need help with creating a form with a special jpeg/gif seal. I never done this Java. Until now, I created all forms with ansi C++ with HP escape characters to draw lines, boxs, and text. This form will contain boxes which is populated with database information read from a text file.
Since this form contains a special seal on the upper right, I don't think it can be done with old fashion ansi C++. How can I create a form with Java and create it as a simple exe to just print the form to a specified printer.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
I am creating a form with boxes (lines and text). What is special about this form is that it has an image jpeg or gif at the top right corner. Is is a state department seal. Up to this form, I had used ansi C++ and print out escape HP character to print out the lines, boxes, and text. I have no idea how to print out the image. I am new to JAVA and only 1 class in it. Is there sample code out there to create this type of form with the image? I need a starting point.
Thanks,
John

It's a new strange world for me today...
Many thanks to everyone who can explain me

I need help with Creating Key Pairs

Hello,
I need help with Creating Key Pairs, I generate key pais with aba provider, but the keys generated are not base 64.

I don't use ABA but BouncyCastle
this could help you :
try
java.security.Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());
java.security.KeyPairGenerator kg = java.security.KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA","BC");
java.security.KeyPair kp = kg.generateKeyPair();
java.security.Key pub = kp.getPublic();
java.security.Key pri = kp.getPrivate();
System.out.println("pub: " + pub);
System.out.println("pri: " + pri);
byte[] pub_e = pub.getEncoded();
byte[] pri_e = pri.getEncoded();
java.io.PrintWriter o;
java.io.DataInputStream i;
java.io.File f;
o = new java.io.PrintWriter(new java.io.FileOutputStream("d:/pub64"));
o.println(new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(pub_e));
o.close();
o = new java.io.PrintWriter(new java.io.FileOutputStream("d:/pri64"));
o.println(new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(pri_e));
o.close();
java.io.BufferedReader br = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.FileReader("d:/pub64"));
StringBuffer keyBase64 = new StringBuffer();
String line = br.readLine ();
while(line != null)
keyBase64.append (line);
line = br.readLine ();
byte [] pubBytes = new sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(keyBase64.toString ());
br = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.FileReader("d:/pri64"));
keyBase64 = new StringBuffer();
line = br.readLine ();
while(line != null)
keyBase64.append (line);
line = br.readLine ();
byte [] priBytes = new sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(keyBase64.toString ());
java.security.KeyFactory kf = java.security.KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA","BC");
java.security.Key pubKey = kf.generatePublic(new java.security.spec.X509EncodedKeySpec(pubBytes));
System.out.println("pub: " + pubKey);
java.security.Key priKey = kf.generatePrivate(new java.security.spec.PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(priBytes));

Need help in creating RAID 5

Hi everyone,
i'm fairly new to RAID scene and i need help for creating RAID 5 with 8 disk's.
I have HP ProLiant DL380 G6 with 8 disk's, each 500 GB.
i'm trying to create RAID 5 and to have one spare disk. I have made array from 7 disk and then create logical drive.
the last disk (8-th) i used as spare.
up to now i think i'm ok???
what confuse me is:
7 HDD X 500GB= 3500GB
after creating array i get 3200 GB, where i lose 300 GB??
after creating logical drive i get 2700 GB, where i lose 500 GB???
from 2700GB i give 150GB for system partition and for data storage i have only 2550 GB.
Why i lose 800GB??
Can someone explain me how RAID 5 works, do i create it correctly and why i lose so much space???
Is there other way to create RAID 5 without losing so much space?
Thanks you in advnce.

The first 'loss' you encounter (300MB) is due to megabyte counting/rounding. A 500GB disk contains about 500.000.000 bytes. This quite a bit less than if counted properly using binary. you loose about 24288000 bytes per disk this way!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mibibyte |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte
the second loss is due to how raid works.in raid 5 data is written to multiple disks to improve reliability. the simplies t form uses 3 disks: a write will cause half of the data to be written to disk 1, half to disk 2 and the XOR of both datahalfs to disk
3. In this scenario you will loose 33% of storage space and you can loose up to one of 3 disks.
By adding more disks, data can be spread more and the ratio available/raw will increase, or you can write aditionnal crc data and increase resliency for failures.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
To check the exact algoritmes using on you RAID adapter, I would recommend contacting the vendor (or checking their support site) From your numbres, I do not think you will be able to configure RAID 5 on the same disks and having more available
space for your data.

My questions are:
1. Is it possible to modify the width of row in ADF10g. Because the width of rows in my output are high. So I want to reduce it.
2. I need help in creating a new 'createbutton' to create a newlist for the table . for this I have used create button but didnot succed.
3. I also need help in creating 'save button' to save modified data into the table.
4. I need help in creating a select-one-choice and select-one-list for columns of table.
Please help me.

Need help in creating multiple signature forms?

need help in creating multiple signature forms that can be digitally signed in adobe reader

Automator gets a bit unweildy when trying to vary things outside of what the actions provide. Since you are already using an AppeScript in your workflow, might as well do the whole thing:
set baseFolder to (path to desktop) -- the location to create the folder
display dialog "Please provide a new folder name:" default answer "test"
set folderName to text returned of the result
repeat -- keep repeating until a number is returned
display dialog "How many subfolders?" default answer "5"
set theNumber to text returned of the result
    try -- test the result
      set theNumber to theNumber as integer
      exit repeat -- success
    end try
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
try -- make new folder
    set newFolder to (make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:folderName})
on error number -48 -- skip errors if the folder is already there
    set newFolder to ((baseFolder as text) & folderName) as alias
end try
repeat with X from 1 to theNumber
    try -- make new subfolder
      make new folder at newFolder with properties {name:folderName & X}
    on error number -48 -- skip errors if the folder is already there
    end try
end repeat
end tell
