No data returned when optional hierarchy prompt is filled in.

Hi,
I have created a query in Query Designer with an optional hierarchy node variable on Profit Center in the characteristic restrictions.
When I create my report in Crystal, the prompt on Profit Center arise with the option Set To Null marked on. When I keep this option marked, I get the correct data.
But when I enter a Profit Center node into the prompt, I receive no data, even when the entered data exists in the database.
What do I have to enter in a hierarchy prompt? I've tried with the key, the name, the node ID, the parent node ID...
Are there any special options or things I have to focus on in query designer or CR to get this thing working?
Lieven

Hi,
what i was trying to say -run the query in sql developer or whatever ide u r using.
If u get data for both null and value entered then check in database expert(in reports) if there is any link..
I hope u got the right meaning previously.
Regards,
Misra P.

Incorrect data returned when using a date prompt

We are using BO XI R3.1 with fix pack 1.3 on windows with a CMS and report database on Oracle 11i. There is one report in which a date range is set by prompting for the Start and End date, depending on the dates entered it sometimes erroneously displays the message `No data to fetch`. It can be confirmed that there is actual data rows, by either running the SQL script in an application such as Toad or by hard-coding the start and end dates into the condition, indicating that it is the `Prompt` which is causing the problem.
For example if the start and end dates are 28/06/2010 - 02/07/2010 there will be no data returned, but if the end date is extended to 30/07/2010 then data will be returned which includes transactions from 28/06/2010 - 02/07/2010. Whether the date range is set using the SQL `between` operator or using the start date greater than or equal and end date less than or equal results in the same `no data to fetch` message displayed.
Is this a known issue or have other users come across this behaviour in their desktopIntelligence reports ?. It may be that it is fixed in subsequent service packs but for the time being our environment cannot upgrade beyond the existing fix pack. This problem can also be replicated on new reports and even on other date fields in the database, and if the prompt is incorporated into the Universe the problem still remains.
Meanwhile any thoughts or ideas on the problem are appreciated.

Hi Peter,
I've noticed similar behaviour in the past, and it had to do with a difference in language setting between client and server side.
So let's say dutch client, american oracle.
So oracle expects MM/DD/YYYY whereas the users think they must input DD/MM/YYYY.
Now happens something that I consider BO being to clever for its own good.
If a user enter 28/06/2010 it knows that can't have been MM/DD/YYYY since it is invalid that way,
so it swaps it! and gives 06/28/2010 to the database.
A date like 02/07/2010 doesn't get swapped because its valid,
so it gives 02/07/2010 to the database.
So ultimately the database tries to retrieve between Jun 28th and Feb 7th, which gives no data to fetch...
Thats why in situations with different date formats I never use a data field to prompt,
but request the data in a certain format as string and convert it myself in the universe to a dateformat for the database to process. I just state the expected input format to the user so there are no surprises anymore.
Something like "Give date from (ddmmyyyy)"...
Hope this helps,
Marianne

LVOOP Parent private data returned when child instance created from constant

I have created one Parent class, and one Child class. For each of these classes, I have created a member VI that is a constructor, whose purpose will be to initialize some constants for each class, and return the class instance. I also have a member accessor VI for each class that returns the private data of the class (in this case a single string for each class).
The Parent class's private data "String" is set to"Parent text" as the default value.
The Child class's private data "Child String" is set to"Child Text" as the default value.
The Parent class constructor works just fine. For testing purposes, I return the text from directly unbundling in the constructor VI, and as returned from the accessor VI. The Parent constructor starts from a class constant.
However, in the case of the Child class constructor, if I start from a class constant, directly unbundling the private data (using an Unbundle By Name function, and choosing "Child String" as the element), I get the Parent's private data!
If I use the Child class's member VI to retrieve the text, I get the Child's private data.
If I change the constructor to start from a class Control instead of a class Constant, I get the Child's private data.
This only occurs before the Child class has existed as a
Control/Indicator. i.e. If I unbundle the private data after the class
is returned by any member VI, I get the correct Child private data. So obviously something changes once the class "data" has been a control at some point.
I am using Labview 8.6.1, Windows XP
I have attached a small project that illustrates the problem I am encountering, without actually doing any initialization, just reading.
Is this the intended behaviour? Why does it matter if I start with a class constant instead of a class control? When you drag from the Project window to the Block diagram, you always get a constant.
Solved!

Although I was able to replicate your issue in LabVIEW 8.6.1, it appeared to run correctly in 2009. I could not find a CAR ID but at this point can only assume that the behavior was not intended but is fixed in 2009.
Let me know if you need me to find any further details.

[11g] Date format when printing dashboard prompt

Hello,
i have a dashboard prompt with a between condition on a date format. When i display it on the dashboard, the format is perfect dd.mm.yyyy. But when i want to print the dashboard, the format is shown as yyyy-mm-dd. On the forum i found a hint about the localedefinitions.xml (Printer-friendly date format But there, the definition is ok
<property name="dateShortFormat">dd.MM.yyyy</property> // default short date format for locale
So, how can i change the format to dd.mm.yyyy when printing the dashboard. Any advice?
Thanks
Martin

Davison,
Its not possible using user settings. All you would need to do is copy the SAP SCRIPTForm program(You can keep the Print program as such) and set date mask as required in SAP script text editor using command
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
Now the date variable value written out on the screen would be
&DATE& -> JAN 01, 2010
You could revert to standard settings using command
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '

Loosing data returned when connection temparily drops

Users, usually those on wireless network connections,
complain data is not returned to my Flash app. They explain they
can access other sites (html) without a problem. I believe they are
experiencing wireless network interference intermittently. The
network connection seems to be down for a second or two during the
interference while the message is on its way back to the client via
Flash Remoting. When this happens, the data is lost.
Is there any setting in Flash Remoting or Flash that will
cause it to continue to try to get the data to the client during
these brief moments when the connection is lost?

Crystal,
Thanks for answering on my question, not many users semms to be using the LabVIEW-Database Connectivity-MySQL configuration !?, as for Your question, the following error message is generated by the "DB Tools Insert Data" vi:
"Cmd Execute.vi->DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Information Administrator.viException occured in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers, [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.1.0-alpha-max]Lost connection to MySQL server during query. in Rec Create - Command.vi->Cmd Execute.vi->DB Tools Insert Data.vi->Information Administrator.vi"
In most cases i don´t use this vi, normally I use the "Connection Execute" vi to generate SQL commands, in any case the problems remains regardless of how the SQL commans is generated.
Any
ideas of why the exception occurs and connection is lost??

Invalid data returned when iterating a java.util.Properties

Hi all,
I'm having trouble iterating thru the values in a java.util.Properties object.
This problem only occurs when passing in a java.util.Properties object into the constructor of a java.util.Properties.
Here's some example code. (A picture is worth....)
<pre>
import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class PropertyTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Properties validProp = new Properties();
//add some data
validProp.put("key1", "key1Value");
validProp.put("key2", "key2Value");
validProp.put("key3", "key3Value");
System.out.println("This will iterate...");
dumpPropertyFile(validProp); //This will iterate correctly
Properties inValidProp = new Properties(validProp);
System.out.println("This doesn't iterate correctly");
dumpPropertyFile(inValidProp); //This will not iterate
public static void dumpPropertyFile(Properties prop) {
Iterator iter = prop.keySet().iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
String key = (String)iter.next();
System.out.println(key + "=" + prop.getProperty(key));
</pre>
I have searched the bug database, but didn't find any open bugs related to this issue.
Could someone let me know if this is a existing bug or has this bug already been addressed.
My setup.
NT 4.0 / jdk1.3.1
Thanks,

I found this works.
Iterator e = _props.keySet().iterator();
while(e.hasNext())
String str = (String)e.next();
System.out.println("key(" + str + ")=" + _props.getProperty(str));
but the display sequence is always in descending order ???
Anyone has a clue ?
Input :
catch#2 Prop catch#2
prop2 Properties.test.2
catch#6 Prop catch#6
catch#3 Prop catch#3
catch#5 Prop catch#5
catch#4 Prop catch#4
prop3 test Properties
prop4 test Properties4
prop1 Properties.test.1
catch#1 Prop catch#1
Output:
prop4=test Properties4<
prop3=test Properties<
prop2=Properties.test.2<
prop1=Properties.test.1<
catch#6=Prop catch#6<
catch#5=Prop catch#5<
catch#4=Prop catch#4<
catch#3=Prop catch#3<
catch#2=Prop catch#2<
catch#1=Prop catch#1<

When I call nifGetObjectDictionary on a Domain Index, what is the format of data returned

hello,
When I call nifGetObjectDictionary on an Active Schedule Domain Index (450) of NI Card, retrieved from S-OD -> DLL Link Schedule OD Index, what is the format of data returned? I received 0801C202FFFF000000 as data and it is not matching with FF-Spec (Field Device Access Agent, page 95).
Could you please let me know the format/structure of the data i received, so that i can parse them and understand?
Also let me know is there any API available in NI API to upload/read Schedule Domain?
Thanks
Shankar.

Sorry for replying late!
We don't have the nifGetObjectDictionary function, so may I make a guess that you mean nifGetObjectDescription? If I'm right, there will be some trouble.
To be honest, basically we don't support the APIs which are not included in the "NI-FBUS CM Function Reference Manual". In further, would you please let me know how you find this kind of internal functions? We cannot support it until we verify the customer has bought the complete version of APIs package and this package is still in the support period. If it matches your case, would you please help me in the verification? And then we can support the details for your question later.
On the other hand, we don't have the APIS to upload/read Schedule Domain now.

Placing a parameter for a report in header when no XML data returned

Good Afternoon ~
I have a request from a user that requires the need to place a reports parameters in the header of the report even though the report may return no data. Example of this would be a missing time card report.
I have only seen the use of this when there is data returned. If the report returns no data there is no XML.
I have no idea how I would accomplish this. Any suggestions I can get on this is much appreciated. How would I capture the parameter used?
Thank you much!
G

Apparently I am not notified of these updates. Sorry this took me a bit to get to you.
The report data is using an Oracle Report to generate the XML. All other formatting is done in BI Publisher.

No applicable data : when selecting hierarchy node on 0GLACCEXT

Hi,
I using the ZCUBE (Copy of virtual cube 0FIGL_V10).
I have data for the 0GLACCEXT hierarchy (standard hierarchy tech name: INT, and also for custom hierarchies)
From the moment we use a selection in the rows on a node within the hierarchy of the financial statement item : 0GLACCEXT, the result is No applicable data.
We are using the standard calculated key figure Balance sheet Value.
If i use the hierarchy (for INT) as a whole, we get data. If i restrict with hierarchy nodes for INT, then 'No Applicable Data'.
for the other custom hierarchies, i'm getting same result, i.e. 'No Applicable Data'.
Can somebody help with this issue.
Thanks,
V

Hi
Find out whethere data exists actually for the nade by executing the data for all the hierarchy nodes and find out whether data is coming when you execute for some other nodes

"Primitive Type Returned", when I try to configure the data return type.

I am basically following this tutorial, Getting started with ColdFusion and Flash Builder 4 beta, but instead of using the database provided, I am using SQL Server 2008. I am now stuck on the part titled, "Configuring the data return type". In step 5 of this section, I submit my credentials and then I get a popup titled:
Primitive Type Returned
The operation returned a response of the type "Object".
You may either update server code to fix the returned data or Click OK to set "Object" as the return type of this operation.
I am not sure if "server code" would be my database and/or the Coldfusion code that was provided in this tutorial. I am thinking that its the former, however I am new to both technologies. Would anyone know why FlashBuilder will not strong type this data for me?

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback!
The server code here means the ColdFusion code provided in the tutorial.
The "Configure return type" step is performed to change the return type of the function.
If you notice after importing the CFC in the Flash Builder the return type of getAllData was Object but with this step you are trying to change it to a Strong Type.
So context click on the getAllData function,select 'Configure return type', enter "EmployeeSalesData" click NEXT , enter valid RDS credentials in the security dialog and click FINISH.
This should have ideally set your return type to "EmployeeSalesData"(Strong type).
Also if you are extremely new to this i suggest you to pick up a pre-release build of Flash Builder which has a COOL feature which can help you get started pretty fast and simplify most of these workflows.
To avail for the pre-release build please send a mail to [email protected]
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

Problem on a table with hierarchy prompt

Hi experts,
I have an unusual error when I'm using hierarchy prompt.
I make an analysis that it has two hierarchycal columns (One of this is to show on rows of my table, another is to get filter when I choose options with hierarchycal dashboard prompt)
My table looks like this:
+Level1
...+Level1.1
...+Level1.2
+Level2
...+Level2.1
etc.
If I drill down by Level1.1, it's drilldown fine and it shows childs of Level1.1, now comes my issue... With Level1.1 Opened (seeing childs of level 1.1), if I click to drilldown level1.2 I have an error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Syntax error in input MDX query on line 8 at token 'filter' (HY000)
So...My problem exists when I want to drilldown with diferent ways.
If I delete hierarchycal column that is prompted in my dashboard...I can drill down perfectly... but I can't to delete this hierarchycal column because my customer needs that hierarchycal prompt.
Anybody can help me???
Thanks!

Sure,
Can u send a test mail to this user id
[email protected]...will look into ur issue.
Thanks

BO 4.0: Hierarchy prompts

Hi,
We are currently trying to schedule reports using the dsws api.
We have problems with reports containing hierarchy prompt. We are able to retrieve information about the first level can't go any deeper.
The only information we found concerning hierarchy prompts is outdated : http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxir2sp2/en/en/WS_SDK/wssdk_consumer/doc/wssdk_dg/DevelopingConsumerWebApps54.html
Any suggestion why promptsToBeFilled would always be empty after the first prompt level?
Thank you.

Hello.
Did you find a solution for this?
We have the same issue: promptstoBeFilled is not returned when a report data provider is using UNX universe and exists when report is using UNV universe.
Thank you

Null values returned when using request.getParameters(

I have a html form which allows the user to choose options and select a file to upload. When I use method=Post I get null values returned. When I use method=Get I get my parameter values fine.. but I get an error.
"Posted content type isn't multipart/form-data"
I would like to know why I am getting null values returned when using Post. I am using the following to get the values from the name=value passed to the servlet.
String strIndustry = request.getParameter("frmIndustry");
String strCompany = request.getParameter("frmCompany");
String strCollabType = request.getParameter("frmCollaboration");
I have another form where the user can search information in a database that works just fine w/ either Get or Post
Or perhaps I am using oreilly MultipartRequest incorrectly??? but I copied it directly from another discussion.. ???
any thoughts
Thanks

taybon:
you could do it like this. in this case, you submit your form with the parameters (industry, company, collaboration), and upload your file at the same time. and in the target servlet, you can build your MultipartRequest object like this:
MultipartRequest multi = new MultipartRequest(request, temp_location, 50 * 1024);where variable temp_location stands for a temporatory diretory for file uploading.
and then you get your parameters, so you can build the directory with them. and after that, you can move your file to that directory using File.renameTo();
but as i've suggested in my previous posting, i just recommend you upload your file in a separate form. and then you can perform an oridianry doPost form submit with those parameters. or you may have problems with the file uploading. (this is just my personal experiences with Multipart).
there is one other thing i'd like to mention, file.renameTo() won't work if you need to move files to a network drive in windows. it won't work if you move files across file systems in unix.
