Need help with data grid...

I have setup a profile card which displays information about individuals by pulling data from an XML database.
I have multiple text fields and couple movie clips that display images but i need a datagrid to display stats for each individual.
The stat information is set as attributes on a array of XML nodes each node is a year.
Example XML
<hockey>
     <profile>
          <name>Wayne Gretzky</name>
          <image>pic1</image>
          <dob>Jan 26, 1961</dob>
          <position>Centre</position>
          <height>6'0"</height>
          <weight>185lbs</weight>
          <history>"important information"</history>
          <medal_record>
                    <medal standing ="Silver" Event =" 1981 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                    <medal standing ="Gold" Event =" 1984 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                    <medal standing ="Gold" Event =" 1987 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                    <medal standing ="Gold" Event =" 1991 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                    <medal standing ="Silver" Event =" 1996 World Cup of Hockey" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
          </medal_record>
     </profile>
     <profile>
          <name>Wayne Gretzky2</name>
          <image>pic2</image>
          <dob>Jan 26, 1962</dob>
          <position>Right Wing</position>
          <height>6'1"</height>
          <weight>205lbs</weight>

                    <medal standing ="Silver" Event =" 1987 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                    <medal standing ="Silver" Event =" 1991 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                    <medal standing ="Gold" Event =" 1996 World Cup of Hockey" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
          </medal_record>
     </profile>
</hockey>
The red information is what i need to get displayed by the Data Grid for each profile.
Standing
Event
Sport
Gold
1981 Canada Cup
Ice Hockey
Bronze
1984 Canada Cup
Ice Hockey
The swf has buttons to cycle through the profiles which loads the new information from the XML.
If you have a good understanding of how the dataGRIDs work please let me know if you can help as this is the last problem holding me from finishing this.
Thanks in advance.

Update... I got the data pulling in but it doesnt change as the profile changes with the rest of the data.

Need Help with Dates

I am printing a calendar and certain events will be helds on certain dates.
One can edit the event if it has not passed the date. Events in the past can be viewed but not edited.
When I query the database the date must be formatted dd-MMM-yy
I am able to get today's date by doing this:
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
String today_str = sdf.format(today);
My code for printing the calendar: I left out some of the table formatting in the JSP page.
GregorianCalendar d = new GregorianCalendar();
int today = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month = d.get(Calendar.MONTH);
d.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
int weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
for(int i = Calendar.SUNDAY; i < weekday; i++)
out.print("<td> </td>");
do {
int day = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
out.print("<td>" + day + "</td>");
String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
//if(event exists on this day
// Get results
// print link for viewing
// if (after today) print link for edit
if(weekday == Calendar.SATURDAY)
out.println("</tr><tr valign=top>");
d.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
} while(d.get(Calendar.MONTH) == month);
if(weekday != Calendar.SUNDAY)
System.out.println();
The part I need help on is this:
//if(event exists on this day
// Get results
// print link for viewing
// if (after today) print link for edit
I'm looping through each day of the month to print the days. I have the month, day, year as integers. How can I create a date object out of that and compare it to today's date to test if it's before or after today???
All the function in the Date class that I think would do this have been deprecated.

Need Help with Dates
Here is some information about dates:
There are many edible palm fruits, and one of the most widespread and favored of these is the data (Phoenix dactylifera). Dates were cultivated in ancient land from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 6000 B.C. Then--as now--dates were a staple for the natives of those dry regions. Much later, Arabs spread dates around northern Africa, and dates were introduced into California by the Spaniards in 1765, around Mission San Ignacio.
The date prefers dry, hot climates, because date fruits are injured at temperatures of 20 degrees F, and the damp climate of the California coast was not favorable for fruit production. In the mid-1800s, the date industry developed in California's hot interior valleys and in Arizona. Now the date industry in the United States is localized mostly in the Coachella Valley, where the sandy soils permit the plants to be deeply irrigated. Today the new varieties, mostly introduced in this century, produce about 40 million pounds of dates per annum, or over 60% of the dates consumed in this country. The rest are imported mainly from Persia. According to one survey, about one million people are engaged entirely in date palm cultivation worldwide.
Hope that helps.

Need Help with data type conversion

Hello People,
I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
I have variable(string) storing IP Address
IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

Class InetAddress has a method
byte[] getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument.

Need help with date range searches for Table Sources in SES

Hi all,
I need help, please. I am trying to satisfy a Level 1 client requirement for the ability to search for records in crawled table sources by a date and/or date range. I have performed the following steps, and did not get accurate results from Advanced searching for date. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is a way to define a date search attribute without creating a LOV for a date column. (My tables have 500,00 rows.)
I am using SES 10.1.8.3 on Windows 32.
My Oracle 10g Spatial Table is called REPORTS and this table has the following columns:
TRACKNUM Varchar2
TITLE Varchar2
SUMMARY CLOB
SYMBOLCODE Varchar2
Timestamp Date
OBSDATE Date
GEOM SDO_GEOMETRY
I set up the REPORTS table source in SES, using TRACKNUM as the Primary Key (unique and not null), and SUMMARY as the CONTENT Column. In the Table Column Mappings I defined TITLE as String and TITLE.
Under Global Settings > Search Attributes I defined a new Search Attribute (type Date) called DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY).
Went back to REPORTS source previously defined and added a new Table Column Mapping - mapping OBSDATE to the newly defined DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) search attribute.
I then modified the Schedule for the REPORTS source Crawler Policy to “Process All Documents”.
Schedule crawls and indexes entire REPORTS table.
In SES Advanced Search page, I enter my search keyword, select Specific Source Group as REPORTS, select All Match, and used the pick list to select the DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) Attribute Name, operator of Greater than equal, and entered the Value 01-JAN-07. Then the second attribute name of DATE_OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY), less than equals, 10-JAN-07.
Search results gave me 38,000 documents, and the first 25 I looked at had dates NOT within the 01-JAN-07 / 10-JAN-07 range. (e.g. OBSDATE= 10-MAR-07, 22-SEP-07, 02-FEB-08, etc.)
And, none of the results I opened had ANY dates within the SUMMARY CLOB…in case that’s what was being found in the search.
Can someone help me figure out how to allow my client to search for specific dated records in a db table using a single column for the date? This is a major requirement and they are anxiously awaiting my solution.
Thanks very much, in advance….

raford,
Thanks very much for your reply. However, from what I've read in the SES Admin Document is that (I think) the date format DD/MM/YYYY pertains only to searches on "file system" sources (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.). We have 3 file system sources among our 25 total sources. The remaining 22 sources are all TABLE or DATABASE sources. The DBA here has done a great job getting the data standardized using the typical/default Oracle DATE type format in our TABLE sources (DD-MON-YY). Our tables have anywhere from 1500 rows to 2 million rows.
I tested your theory that the dates we are entering are being changed to Strings behind the scenes and on the Advanced Page, searched for results using OBSDATE equals 01/02/2007 in an attempt to find data that I know for certain to be in the mapped OBSDATE table column as 01-FEB-07. My result set contained data that had an OBSDATE of 03-MAR-07 and none containing 01-FEB-07.
Here is the big issue...in order for my client to fulfill his primary mission, one of the top 5 requirements is that he/she be able to find specific table rows that are contain a specific date or range of dates.
thanks very much!

Need help with date and time calculations please

Hello there.. Im stuck, and im hoping someone can help..
Working on a list to manage and track PTO. User completes PTO request form,
Fields
Name
Start Date (with time)
End Date (with time)
Total Number of Days/hours requested: (calculation)
Full Day: (Yes/No)
ok business need
user has the ability to request a certain number of hours as opposed to a full day.
After searching around on google. I found this calculation to help me figure out how many BUSINESS days being requested.
=IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d")),"",(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d"))+1-INT(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))<0,2,0)-IF(OR(AND(WEEKDAY([End
Date])=7,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),AND(WEEKDAY([End Date])=1,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1)),1,0)-IF(AND(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1,(WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))>0),1,0)-IF(AND(NOT(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),WEEKDAY([End Date])=7),1,0))
This works great as long as its a [Full Day]="YES", displays results in column labeled Number of days
now if [Full Day]="No", displays results in column labeled Number of Hours
BUT this is my issue (well part of it) it calcuate the correct number of hours.. but puts a "1" in "Number of Days" why.. dates have not changed.. I think Its something with the above calculation but I could be way off.
the end result is I need number of days to concat with number of hours
i.e 1 full day 4 hours 1.4
0 full day 5 hours 0.5
1 full day 0 hours 1.0
so that the total can be deducted via workflow.. from the remaining balance in a tracker. (seperate list)
Any angels out there??

Need help with Data Model for Private Messaging

Sad to say, but it looks like I just really screwed up the design of my Private Messaging (PM) module... *sigh*
What looked good on paper doesn't seem to be practical in application.
I am hoping some of you Oracle gurus can help me come up with a better design!!
Here is my current design...
member -||-----0<- private_msg_recipient ->0------||- private_msg
MEMBER table
- id
- email
- username
- first_name
PRIVATE_MSG_RECIPIENT table
- id
- member_id_to
- message_id
- flag
- created_on
- updated_on
- read_on
- deleted_on
- purged_on
PRIVATE_MSG table
- id
- member_id_from
- subject
- body
- flag
- sent_on
- updated_on
- sender_deleted_on
- sender_purged_on
***Short explanation of how the application currently works...
- Sender creates a PM and sends it to a Recipient.
- The PM appears in the Sender's "Sent" folder in my website
- The PM also appears in the Recipient's "Incoming" folder.
- If the Recipient deletes the PM, I set "deleted_on" and my code moves the PM from Recipient's "Inbox" to the "Trash" folder. (Record doesn't actually move!)
- If the Recipient "permanently deletes" the PM from his/her "Trash", I set "purged_on" and my code removes the PM from the Recipient's Message Center. (Record still in database!)
- If the Sender deletes the PM, I set "sender_deleted_on" and my code moves the PM from the Sender's "Sent" folder to the "Trash" folder. (Record doesn't actually move!)
- If the Recipient "permanently deletes" the PM from his/her "Trash", I set "sender_purged_on" and my code removes the PM from the Sender's Message Center. (Record still in database!)
Here are my problems...
1.) I can't store PM's forever.
2.) Because of my design, the Sender really owns the PM, and if I add code to REMOVE the PM from the database once it has a "sender_purged_on" value, then that would in essence remove the PM from the Recipient's Inbox as well!!
In order to remove a PM from the database, I would have to make sure that *both* the Recipient has "purged_on" value and the Sender has a "sender_purged_on" value. (Lot's of Application Logic for something which should be simple?!)
I am wondering if I need to change my Data Model to something that allows my autonomy when it comes to the Sender and/or the Recipient deleting the PM for good...
One the other hand, I believe I did a good job or normalizing the data. And my current Data Model is the most efficient when it comes to saving storage space and not having dups.
Maybe I do indeed just need need to write application logic - or a cron job - which checks to make sure that *both* the Sender an Recipient have deleted the PM before it actually flushes it out of my database to free up space?!
Of course, if one party sits on their PM's forever, then I can never clear things out of my database to free up space...
What should I do??
Some expert advice would be welcome!!
Sincerely,
Debbie

rp0428,
I think I am starting to see my evil ways and where I went wrong...
> Unfortunately his design is just as denormalized as yours
I see that now. My bad!!
> the last two columns have NOTHING to do with the message itself so do NOT belong in a normalized table.
> And his design:
>
> Same comment - those last two columns also have NOTHING to do with the message itself.
Right.
> The message table should just have columns directly related to the message. It is a list of unique messages: no more, no less.
Right.
> Mark gave you hints to the proper normalized design using an INTERSECT table.
> that table might list: sender, recipient, sender_delete_flag, recipient_delete_flag.
> As mark suggested you could also have one or two DATEs related to when the delete flags were set. I would just make the columns DATE fields.
>
> Once both date columns have a value you can delete the message (or delete all messages older than 30+ days).
>
> When both flags are set you can delete the message itself that references the sender and the message sent.
Okay, how does this revised design look...
MEMBER --||-----0<-- PM_DISTRIBUTION -->0-------||-- PRIVATE_MSG
MEMBER table
- id
- email
- username
- first_name
and so on...
PM_DISTRIBUTION table (Maybe you can think of a better name??)
- id
- private_msg_id
- sender_id
- recipient_id
- sender_flag
- sender_deleted_on
- sender_purged_on
- recipient_flag
- recipient_read_on
- recipient_deleted_on
- recipient_purged_on
PRIVATE_MSG
- id
- subject
- body
- sent_on
Is that what you were describing to me?
Quickly reflecting on this new design...
1.) It should now be in 3rd Normal Form, right?
2.) It should allow the Sender and Recipient to freely and independently "delete" or "purge" a PM with no impact on the other party, right?
Here are a few Potential Issues that I see, though...
a.) What is to stop there from being TWO SENDERS of a PM?
In retrospect, that is why I originally stuck "member_id_from" in the PRIVATE_MSG table!! The logic being, that a PM only ever has *one* Sender.
I guess I would have to add either Application Logic, or Database Logic, or both to ensure that a given PM never has more than one Sender, right?
b.) If the design above is what you were hinting at, and if it is thus "correct", then is there any conflict with my Business Rule: "Any given User shall only be allowed 100 Messages between his/her Incoming, Sent and Trash folders."
Because the Sender is no longer "tightly bound" to the PRIVATE_MSG, in my scenario above...
Debbie could send 100 PM's, hit her quota, then turn around and delete and purge all 100 Sent PM's and that should in no way impact the 100 PM's sitting in other Users' Inboxes, right??
I think this works like I want...
Sincerely,
Debbie

Need help with dates please-urgent

Hi folks, please help me with this if you can.
I run a weekly job, and need to have my java code create and use 2 dates to capture data for the whole week.
begin_date mm/dd/yyyy (String) to be 7 days prior to current date
end_date mm/dd/yyyy (String) to be the currecnt date
Note: please take into account the cases where the CURRENT_DATE is the first week of the month. As a result the 7 days prior will fall into the previous month. i.e if end_date="06/04/2003" then the begin_date will be "05/29/2003 Thanks a bunch

Need help with Fluid Grid Layout and variable column balance.

I'm using the fluid grid layout. I have multiple columns that are actually fluid grid layout columns done by Dreamweaver. I'd like them to extend as high as each other (all to the maximum height of each other) within the same section. An added catch is that in the desktop layout, I have three side by side under one that takes the whole width of the page. On tablet size, it's 2x2 in a square grid. On mobile, they're vertically stacked. I'm trying to get it so that background colour and/or borders looks decent and is fully balanced, no matter which layout is hit with the fluid layout. The columns reflow, no problem. But the height of any background and/or border is variable.
Any help on fixing this?
Example at: https://music2help.thoughtburst.net/
The example doesn't have borders or colours, as it looked silly unbalanced. The music2help.css is the only one I'm modifying manually.
Love the fluid grid layout, but I need a way to make it behave decently with backgrounds/borders. Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks!
mark->

I tried the solution Nancy posted. It altered things, but doesn't seem to do the trick.
Just some quick background. I did HTML from 1994 through about five years ago by hand in vi on *nix systems. I learned HTML through 4.01, and never bothered with XHTML at all. I learned CSS through most of CSS2. The CSS3 and HTML5 stuff is all new to me, but it can't be that hard. I'm not exactly a novice in JS (I've done a fair bit of AJAX programming), but it's not even close to my primary language (I'm a Perl guy).
I'm "stuck on" wanting to use Fluid Grid Layouts. It's billed as one of the selling points of DW CS6, and I really like the concept and results. I just want the results embellished a little, namely with sensible identical heights on grid containers set in the same row, so that you can apply background colours, dropshadows, and borders. That's really all I want to do that it doesn't already do.
I have a test page at: http://music2help.thoughtburst.net/ that you can try with your Quick Columns. I'd be interested to know if you can get it to work.
Here's the catch, though... Resize the browser, shrinking it inwards. (I suggest Firefox, as Chrome only shrinks so far, and you won't get to Mobile width.) As you can see, on a Tablet, one of the columns that should be equal height actually moves up a row and should be equal height with the row that, on a desktop, would take the entire width of the page area. So that's like a 4-up output in printing terms. At Mobile size, the entire thing is vertical, so none of the columns should be resized.
If your product works and can accomodate these conditions, I think I would be interested in spending the $35 it costs.
Let me know? Thanks!
EDIT: Changed URL to be non-SSL. The server has multiple vhosts on it, and I keep forgetting that I don't have a cert on this new one. Sorry about that. You can just add anything to one of the the three middle columns, if you're pulling it down to test.

Need help with ALV Grid

Hi,
I am displaying Header and Item details in an ALV Grid. The first row will be having Header info and the next rows contains Item Details. I want to hide some of the columns of the first record only. The titles and the Item Details should remain same.
Can any body help me.
Regards,
Srinivas

Hello,
That cannot be done as you are displaying the header and item level data together. Let the fields you do not want to display be blank while you display.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

Need help with date format mask

Hi there, right now I'm trying to set a default date format mask constraint for one of the attributes for my table. I want to set the default mask constraint as MM/DD/YY but I don't know how to. it should be something like:
CREATE TABLE work (WorkDate DATE CHECK (WorkDate = 'MM/DD/YY'))
or something like that, but I don't think that's correct. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

What you want (and should have done) is to read the documentation, starting with the concepts:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/datatype.htm#CNCPT413
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/search?remark=quick_search&word=date&tab_id=&format=ranked
A date is stored as, well, a date, format masks only come into play when you're selecting/retrieving a date or when you want to store a string as a date. Default date formats can be set through NLS_DATE_FORMAT at session and database level.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams122.htm#REFRN10119
Documentation homes (from which you can do a simple quick search):
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
Bottom line:
Trying to set a default date format mask on a date datatype column makes no sense...

Going to Mexico............need help with data

I am going on a cruise and we stop in Cozumel.I am meeting up with friends who will be there the same time.Rather than call,we'll just text........
I am not sure about what comes on when I turn the phone on........I am afraid I will start getting all sorts of automatic updates on my apps.
Is there something I can do,just so I can text and not get anything else???
Also,I know I can take pics without any charges,but if I send them to something like FB,I would be charged,right??
Sorry to sound so dumb,but guess I am when it comes to stuff like this.
I have a Motorola Droid RAZR...

I'm not sure if the Droid Razr is unlocked or you have to call Verizon to have it unlocked. Regardless, the cheapest for you would be to have it unlocked, if needed, so you can use a local SIM card. Problem with that would be you would have to get your local # to your friend in order to text back and forth. If you could get an international SIM prior to going, you could then get your number to your friend before leaving for Mexico, though. A good place to look for one might be Amazon.
Otherwise, you can enable your phone for global service thru Verizon. You can see the rates HERE. $0.99/minute for calling, $25/100MB data charge and $0.50/text sent and $0.05/text received.

SOS ... Need help with Data Queue PtByPt

I am trying to perform psuedo real time processing of signal and to reduce buffering, I am using Data Queue ptBypt VI that stores a select number of samples and analyse them. My requirement is very straight forward -the waveform I am trying to analyze involves a stimuls pulse (A rectangular shaped one) followed by a response signal (which is generated by the stimulus after a short duration). I need to find the TIME INSTANT VALUE( X-AXIS) when an event occurs; event means the time instant the response shows up/ends on the waveform and the time instant the stimulus show up/ends. The sample whose value goes above a certain threshold can be deemed a peak, but how do I detect the x-axis value corresponding to this?
Please help...
t
hanks
rueter.

I am not sure I understand the question, so if I am way off sorry.
Can you provide a simple VI that shows how you are saving the waveform in the Queue? I imagine that what you will have to do is just keep track of how many data points you have placed in the queue, so that when you are doing the processing, you will know how many points have been inserted, so you find the peak you have the "index" of the point and then you just multiple it by your dt.
Like I said I am not sure though, so attach some code and give us an idea of what you are looking for and we should be able to help.

Need help with data filtering on groups/application roles

Hello,
I have a situation where I have to apply security on objects (reports, prompts etc) and dimension members (Essbase cube). So the idea is like this:
Report 1: access to three users (U1, U2, U3), but for dimension Company they have separate rights:
U1: Company A, Companies A.1-A.7 (children of A) and Companies A.1.1-A.1.9 (children of A.1);
U2: Company A.1 and Companies A.1.1-A.1.9;
U3: Company A.1.1
same for Report 2, but users must have access to different companyes, like Company B, B1...
In WebLogic Console I created three groups (G1-G3) and placed each user to a group (U1-> G1, U2 ->G2, U3->G3). Then in WebLogic EM I created three application roles (R1-R3) and added for each, corresponding user (R1-> U1, R2->U2, R3-> U3).
My approach was to use application roles like this:
R1: include User1 and filter data on repository by application role to each generation of the cube ("Data_Source_Name"."Dimension_Name"."Generation2,Dimension"='Company A',"Data_Source_Name"."Dimension_Name"."Generation3,Dimension"='Company A.1', "Data_Source_Name"."Dimension_Name"."Generation4,Dimension"='Company A.1.1')
R2: include User2 and filter data on repository by application role to each generation of the cube ("Data_Source_Name"."Dimension_Name"."Generation3,Dimension"='Company A.1', "Data_Source_Name"."Dimension_Name"."Generation4,Dimension"='Company A.1.1')
R3: include User3 and filter data on repository by application role to each generation of the cube ("Data_Source_Name"."Dimension_Name"."Generation4,Dimension"='Company A.1.1').
I've noticed that, by default, each role inherites BIConsumer and "localmachineusers" application roles, so I set in repository these both roles to filter data as the role 3 (the lowest level of acces), in order for my roles (Roles 1 to 3) to have the highest privileges.
In repository I cannot see any of my users (U1-U3), but just the application roles they are in.
For Report 1 I set the access to Roles 1-3 and when I am logged on as U3 this report should display only the data for Company A.1.1, but it doesn't (displays data also for Company A, Companies A.1-A.7).
In fact it seems, that the data isn't filtered at all, which drives me to the conclusion that my data filter is override by another role, maybe ?
Could you please give me a clue about what I am missing here ?
Thank you.

Amith,
Please bear this with me - see my comments below (search for petresion_Comments):
So, we have three users who have access to a report called Report1. But the data that they see in the report needs to be different. The report has a dimension company, and each user needs to see different companies data. So the filtering needs to be done on company dimension.
petresion_Comment: That's my case to solve.
Now the groups in weblogic has no purpose in OBIEE 11g unless you are using an LDAP authenticator who has groups defined in the active directory. By this I mean the network people are maintaining the users and group relation necessary for OBIEE. So keeping the weblogic groups apart for a minute, lets deal with users and roles only.
The three users are assigned to three different roles R1, R2 and R3. By default, all the roles inherit the BIconsumer role, and localmachineusers role you mentioned is not an OTB role. This is something that is probably causing the data filtering to fail. Do a test like create a user in weblogic, assign him only to the localmachineusers role, and go to analytics, and check your roles and groups by going under my account. Make sure this role is not inheriting any other roles like BIAdministrator, BIauthor etc. So in conclusion, when one of your users login, they should inherit only their custom Role (R1 for instance), BIConsumer, Authenticated User, and your custom role localmachineusers.
petresion_Comment: That is what I checked on the first time (few days ago) and is exactly as you say (BIConsumer, localmachinerole and Role1).
Do not apply any data filters on the BIConsumer role. This is not a good practice because the filters get applied to every single user that logs into the system.
petresion_Comment: I know that, but appliyng filters on BIConsumer role I tried to make sure that its privileges doesn't overrides any of my Roles (1,2 or 3). I will remove the filter on BIConsumer.
Now create the data filters on your custom roles (R1, R2, R3). Save the RPD. Deploy the Rpd through Enterprise Manager.
petresion_Comment: Only difference in my case is that I stopped BI services, applied changes to rpd in Offline mode and then restarted BI services.But also tried as you mentioned (by the book in fact) and same result. The problem is the same, my roles(1,2,3) don't filter the companies at all.
Once you are done with all the work above, you should login into analytics as user1. After logging in go to my account, roles and groups, and make sure you see the R1 in the list of groups. Now run the report, and your filters should get applied no matter what. If they are still not getting applied, grab the physical sql and see if the filters are existing in the where condition.
petresion_Comment: Where can I capture the physical SQL (probably an MDX sent to the Essbase cube ?) ?
One other reason could be, one of the roles that are assigned to the user1 by default, is overriding the filters. Like for example, if a user is assigned to BIAdmin role, and no matter if you assign him to a different role that has 100's of filters, he will still see all of the data.
petresion_Comment: As I said before, each of my users are members of their roles, BIComsumer and localmachinerole, so no other privileges (no BIAdmin role).
Thank you for the patience.

Need help with data from databases

Hi,
I need to search several columns in a table, for ex. the Id column and the Headline column. Of cource the id must be connected to the right headline when I want to do something to the data.
Now I get a Resultset and I have tried out different ways to get the data out from the Resultset but the result doesn't seems to be right. Can anyone help me, please.
-Thanks-

You can iterate on your ResultSet if it contains several
rows.
Let's imagine you have defined a class Element containing
the values you want to use.
List l = new ArrayList();
// Calling rs.next() put the cursor on the next row
// and return false if there is no more row
while (rs.next()) {
Element e = new Element(rs.getString(1), rs.getInt(2));
l.add(e);
