OBIEE Answers weird behavior with drilldown

Hello,
First and foremost, I apologize for my english, in case you have a hard time understanding my request. I'm also new to BI and OBIEE, to make things worse.
So here's my problem: In OBIEE Answers/Criteria I make a simple request like :
YEAR | QUARTER | MONTH_NAME | SALES_FACTS
The result is working alright, but when I click on some MONTH_NAME, let's say April of 1998, it says :
<< The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Request Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below. >>
But that's impossible, because on the upper level there was data in SALES_FACTS. You could argue that something isn't right with my configuration etc.. but the weird thing is that not all months fail when i click to drilldown in it.
For example, if I click on february of 1998, it works! But if I click on february of .. let's say 2006, it doesnt work !
Another weird thing: If I make my request like this:
YEAR | QUARTER | MONTH_NAME | DAY | SALES_FACTS
It works for april 1998, and all the other requests that failed with drilldown. But there is one condition: I can't put a filter to show only april. For April's details to appear, there must be May and June
Do you get it ....?

I found the solution to my problem:
1) First fix: There were blanks at the end of month names... That fixed the problem for several requests, but not all
2) 2nd fix: In the time dimension I used month_number as the primary key, but it is month_name that is used for drilldown and is show to the user on the web interface...
It was pretty simple, yes...

TLF 2/2.1/3 Weird behavior with floating graphics?

Hi guys,
I'm working on a chat application running on RED5 / AS3 and I'm struggling to get my client "UI" working perfectly.
My problem is related to the TL Framework, on every version available.
Basicly, I want to display a picture ( for user messages ) and icons ( for notifications ) on the left side of my lines, like this :
So, I'v been messing around with "float=start", "float=left" and such, but i'm always encountering weird behaviors whenever I scroll or resize my containerController. It's quite easy to reproduce with the following code :
public class Main extends Sprite
          private var controller:ContainerController;
          public function Main():void
                    if (stage) init();
                    else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
          private function init(e:Event = null):void
                    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
                    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
                    removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
                    var holder:Sprite = new Sprite();
                    addChild( holder );
                    var tFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();
                    for ( var i:int = 0; i < 50; i++ )
                         tFlow.addChild( createLine() );
                    controller = new ContainerController( holder, 400, stage.stageHeight );
                    tFlow.flowComposer.addController( controller );
                    tFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
                    stage.addEventListener( Event.RESIZE, resizeController );
          private function resizeController( e:Event ):void
                    controller.setCompositionSize( 400, stage.stageHeight );
                    controller.textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
          public function createLine( ):DivElement
                    var d:DivElement;
                    var p:ParagraphElement;
                    var im:InlineGraphicElement = new InlineGraphicElement();
                    im.source = new Bitmap( new BitmapData( 16, 16, true, 0x30FF0000 ) ); // 0x30 Alpha
                    im.float = "left";
                    d = new DivElement();
                    d.clearFloats = "both";
                    p = new ParagraphElement();
                    d.addChild( p );
                    p.addChild( im );
                    return d;
Basicly, I'm stacking 50 transparent "floating" elements. It works fine most of time, but if I randomly resize my Flash Player Window, I can get the first "invisible" element to overlap the last "visible" :
It seems to be happening right when the last "floating" element should disappear. Instead, it gets "over" the previous one. It happens upon container resize and scrolls. I'v encountered this issue on lastest 2, 2.1 and 3 TLF builds.
Beside the visual "bug", it also screws up my container.getContentBounds().height calls - which can make scrolling "trembling", as the height gets reajusted.
I'm running out of ideas about how to handle this. This bug appears whenever I use "floating" graphics and I can't think of any other way to display graphics on the left side of my chat-lines.
Maybe someone ran into this very problem and figured out a way to make it work?
Excuse my english, thanks in advance,
Lionel.

Thank you for your report. And I have found the root cause.
In BaseCompose.as
protected function composeFloat(elem:InlineGraphicElement, afterLine:Boolean):Boolean
if (!floatFits && (_curParcel.fitAny || _curParcel.fitsInHeight(totalDepth, int(logicalFloatHeight))) && (!_curLine || _curLine.absoluteStart == floatPosition || afterLine))
                floatFits = true;
The condition of if is true, only when the weird behavior happens. We need to discuss about how to fix it.

Weird behavior with Ctrl-Tab

Dear members,
(Forms 6i c/s)
I have two tab canvases in one form. For each one, the first tab page is a master list, and the second one is a single-record detail block.
I try to prevent the user from going to the second tab page if the list is empty, so I check the cursor-block in the When-Tab-Page-Changed trigger.
It works fine when I use the mouse, but I get a different behavior with the Ctrl-Tab keys:
In the first canvas, when WTPC trigger fires, the cursor-block is the list block, which is fine.
But in the other canvas, the cursor-block is already the detail block as soon as the trigger fires.
I don't understand where the difference comes from, and I don't really know where to search.
Does anyone have a clue ?
Thanks for your help.

I don't, since my code has to be generic (it's the same for both canvases, and many more).
And I can only get the name of a canvas from a block, not the name of a block from a canvas.
That's why the cursor-block was the best solution.

Some weird behaviors with AD RMS

I spotted some weird behaviors in my Windows 2012 RMS setup:
1. When opening an expired encrypted document in Outlook 2011(Macbook), it shows "IRM cannot start because the system clock has been changed"
2. Encrypted email can't be previewed if user uses Outlook in RDS server
3. "Permission will expire within 60 days" although I set the expiration to tomorrow
Can I know are they default behaviors? Or its due to my wrong configuration?

Weird behavior with streamreader. How do I fix?

I have a ~ 1 GB text file containing a line of text followed by 100 million lines each containing a prime number followed by a last line with a zero. I've used (read with streamreader) this file in several VB (2010) programs without problem. This morning,
I tried writing a simple program which would tell me what the greatest gap is between any two of the primes in the file. After I debugged (due to some silly logic errors which shouldn't be relevant) the program's behavior changed. It was reading the file but
now all it does is find a single line, rather than 100 million lines AND the single line is the filename rather that what the first text line actually is.
I open the file in Form1_Load sub as follows:
Dim fr As System.IO.Streamreader
Dim s As string
fr = New System.IO.Streamreader("filename.txt")
s = fr.readline
and from that point I ran into problems when I used a RichTextBox to display (via .AppendText) the output using a While fr.peek >0 loop. I've previously run into the problem that writing to textboxes and richtextboxes take enormous amounts of time to
run (hours, if not days) while the same logic but directed to an output file runs in a couple of minutes. So, I closed the program (forced closed) and rewrote output to a streamwriter to a new filename. Since then, I can't get any real output from the
file, even when I change output back to a textbox. The text file name is Primes1E9.txt and the first line is:> This file contains 102886524 primes, the largest is 2099999983 < and the second line is 2 then 3, 5, 7, etc up to 2099999983 followed by a
line containing a 0. Here is the problem: when I attempt to read past the first line, the program causes an error (I can catch error in catch try block) or if I don't use a catch block then I get an unhandled error. AND the first readline tells me that the
first line is Primes1e9.txt, which it is NOT. (again, that is the filename, not the first line of text). I've tried closing VS2010, shutting off my PC and rebooting, and deleting and replacing the copy of the text file, all to no avail: I continue to get the
erroneous behavior. Windows explorer confirms the first 20,000 or so lines are correct in the textfile, but my VB2010 program isn't seeing it correctly for some reason. Any ideas?
I use VS2010 on Win7 (64bit), files are on my E: drive (E:\<root> , specifically) with executables in the usual subdirectory (bin\debug).

Weird Behavior with Macbook pro and 30" screen

When trying to iSync my phone via Bluetooth my Bluetooth mouse takes on strange sluggish behavior and makes it virtually unusable. At this point I’ll flip open the lid on the Mac book and use the track pad. When I shut the lid again I lose the picture on the big screen only for it to return some seconds later when I hit the Bluetooth keyboard the picture comes back then after 5-6 seconds disappears. It’s almost like it get’s stuck in some sort of hibernation cycle mode.. The only way to solve it , so far is to open the lid and restart then close the lid before it boots up again. The exact same thing happens if I unplug the power cord. Sometimes as happened today you open the lid and nothing , you actually have to flip the battery out for a moment then reboot as above.
Providing I don’t open the lid or remove the power cord the computer and display work just fine
I’m guessing there is something I can do in the settings, but I’m not sure what it is. But as you can imagine it’s a real pain
Any pointers or ideas would be welcome and any explanation as to why the mouse goes nuts when I establish a connection between the computer and the phone( The sluggishness remains even after I’ve closed Bluetooth on the phone)
Thanks
Symon

Dang, I assume correctly that it doesn't work as advertised for you? I have a MacBook 13.3-in with a Dell 20-in display attached as extended desktop and when I pan, I eventually can only zoom in to the bottom of the screen. I can only pan horizontally.
Not as advertised at all I hope someone can fix that.

Lion: Weird behavior with two monitors.

Intermittently, though very often, when a window is open in the secondary monitor (without menu bar), I cannot select items within the window — files (finder), emails (mail) or songs (iTunes). I cannot clear the problem except by moving the window to the primary monitor or to another desktop.Then, everything is fine. The this behavior is isolated to the secondary monitor. Putting applications on separate desktops seems to avoid the problem.
Here's the behavior in some detail. Clicking on the window header selects the window, but if I click inside it seems to deselect the window rather than select the item; the window appearance changes to the deselected appearance. Clicking on the header reselects the window; it can be moved, but it may not be possible to resize it and contents cannot be selected. Sometimes this happens in only part of the window. I can't select anything below half way down the window, or on the left side. In this mode, in list view, I can select an item in a list layout by clicking on the right side of the name entry line, but not on the icon. It is as if an invisible window is sitting in front. This is intermittent, soI am trying to figure out how precisely to reproduce it. It sometimes happens not while I am working but after ten minutes or so of non-use.
Any ideas?

I don't, since my code has to be generic (it's the same for both canvases, and many more).
And I can only get the name of a canvas from a block, not the name of a block from a canvas.
That's why the cursor-block was the best solution.

Weird behavior with JTextField with diff os

When i enter text into JTextField indicating a newline with "\n" with jdk 1.3.1_08 in windows xp the newline character is detected. However, in Mac OS X with im guessing 1.3.1 the "\n" is not detected . . . What character should i use?

So currently as a workaround to help you delete the file named with "ÿ", create a file with same name on a NTFS drive and copy it to overwrite it on the Refs drive - you can rename the file once it is overwritten - please input a valid file name without "ÿ"
(or it will fail again).
Thank you, that enabled me to delete the offending file.

OBIEE Answers functionality questions

Hi,
I pretty new to OBIEE Answers orginally working with Business Objects XI Webi, I have read through the user guides for Answers but some functionality I would like thats in BO XI but doesnt seem to be avaliable in Answers, Im not sure if its not documented because its more advanced functionality or whether Answers just can't do it ? Is the following functionality avaliable in Answers,
1. I want to build a report based on 2 queries and then link the data in these queries by a common dimension and display this data in 1 report, for example I have query 1 with fields A,B,C and query 2 with fields A, D, E, I want to link on field A as its common and in the 1 report display the fields A,B,C,D,E
is this possible ? This is not the same as union / intersect, and is not the same as dashboard showing two query results, I want 1 table showing the results of two queries.
2. Once you have you data set returned is there anyway to filter on the data displayed in the report without the SQL actually having the filter in ? For example I have 1 query returning 100 rows of data and in that 50 rows are of type = A and 50 are of type = B. I dont want to have two seperate queries one to get all type A and one to get all type B, but I would prefer to return all rows in the query then filter the results in the report itself so I can have 1 report table showing type = A and 1 report table showing type = B, pretty much like how you can add a filter in Excel or again how you would add a report level filter in BO XI ?

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

URGENT Please help with weird behavior of test suite

Hi All,
I have a composite involving three operations of two different services. The weird behavior comes by the time on which I run the test suite on the EM, if I try to emulate two different operation response from one service, by the time that the flow, tries to emulate the second one, I always receive this error:
part name="summary">
<summary>oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Error writing stream: java.io.IOException: Can only write attribute within a tag.: WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Error writing stream: java.io.IOException: Can only write attribute within a tag.</summary>
</part>
On the other hand if I emulate two responses of the same operation it works.
Does any one have any idea of how to deal with this kind of test? Which seems a very simple test.
Best regards,

Hi thanks for your response, in detail my problem is as follows:

4- if I change the second operation with the first one(buscar), it doesn't throws any exception.
5- If this is a limitation , how can I test a composite that involves n operations of the same service?
Kind regards and thanks for all of your support

Weird behavior in master-detail

Dear Forum,
I need to implement an application but I still have a halting error.
I have this strange problem and I'll try to explain.
I have this masterscreen with search functionality. When I do a search, I get a result. When I now enter the details screen of the second row of the search result and I change the fields on the details screen and do a commit, I get the message that the changes were made successfully, but I see the primary key jump to the value of the primary key from the details of the first row of the search results on the masterscreen.
And when I look at the details of the first row, the changes were made in this details, and NOT in the details in which I needed to make the changes.
And now more weird... I can only reproduce the problem in Internet Explorer and whatever I try, it works correct in Firefox.
So the functionality should work as supposed, as it wouldn't work in Firefox.
Has anyone encountered this problem before or does anyone has a solution or tip to get to the solution?
Your help is much appreciated.

Steven,
When I tried to create the logs you requested, I ran up to a different problem, also affecting this behavior. When I repaired this, still the weird behavior took place in Internet Explorer. And in Firefox the problem was solved. So I tried to disable the cache in Internet Explorer. This solved the problem there as well..
So this behavior doesn't happen anymore with the cache disabled, thus solved this problem.
Thanks for the effort anyway.

Weird behavior in Classic or not?

It has been a long time since I've needed to use Classic (on 10.4.something) Today I needed to do something that could only be done in classic. I thought I saw some weird behavior so I tried a couple of other classic apps.    All started Classic just fine, brought up their document window and menu bar. But there was no classic desktop under the app's window and while the menu bar showed "finder" as an open application that could be switched to (the right-most menu item) but when I switched to it I got the OS X finder, not a OS 9 one.   Occasionally I can get what looks like a Finder menu bar, but that's on it are the Apple and Help and the app switcher.
Recently I've been playing with Sheepshaver on a Snow Leopard system, which brings up an honest-to-goodness OS 9 desktop.
Now, I am misremembering how Classic works (in effect, no desktop and no finder) or is something wrong. I checked all three of my systems running Tiger and they have the same behavior.   (A G4 -- that will still boot into OS 9, a powerbook G4, and a mac-mini.)

OK, I found an article on rebuilding the desktop and it indicated that while there is a file for the OS9 desktop, in the classic environment it is invisible and can only be found through an alias that is created on the OS X desktop. I suspect I've deleted that alias since I didn't have any particular need for it.   The article tells you how to re-create the alias from the terminal. indeed there is a folder there and it is empty. No particular use for it -- if you select Desktop from an OS 9 app you get the OS X desktop.   I can also see why there's no real OS 9 finder -- anything you could have done from it you can do from the OS X finder -- except the "Apple Menu" and that's why that's under the classic icon on the right half of an OS X menu bar. There still is a "rebuild desktop" in the Classic prefs -- I assume that's so you get the right doc/app association in the classic environment, since I don't think OS X understands the classic creator/type info.
So sounds very much like I'm misremembering!

Weird behavior in opening Aperture images in Photoshop

I have found a lot of really weird behavior when opening Aperture images in an external editor (in my case, Photoshop, so I'll use PS to refer to it):
1) If the master image is opened in PS, a new version is created when the file is opened, not saved. So quitting PS without saving leaves you with a new version of the file, regardless of whether you actually saved any changes or not.
2) If a version (not the master) is opened in PS, a new version is not created, either on open, or on save. So in other words, changes to that version in PS when saved overwrite that version, and the previous condition of that version is lost (with respect to versioning).
3) If multiple versions of the same image are opened simultaneously in PS, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the difference between them in PS, except for visually (possibly meta-data, but I haven't checked that, nor would I want to be forced to). The file names of all versions are exactly the same.
I'm looking for feedback from anyone out there who can explain why this isn't completely quacky version control. I've been using version control almost my entire career (as a software programmer) and here's how I have seen almost invariably version control work:
1) New versions of files are always created upon commit, i.e. saving of the file, not on opening a file. (Do not confuse this with working copies, think about what is present in the repository).
2) Opening / editing any file version is never destructive. Any change to that file version that is saved (committed) results in a new version, not an overwrite to the same version.
Aperture's interface basically has combined what traditional version management has represented separately, that being the client and repository views of a project. They are showing all versions of a file simultaneously. This is fine, but I'm really not liking the fact that some changes create new versions, other changes overwrite versions, and one case, merely opening the file creates a new version, whether there are any changes saved or not. In addition, when working with multiple versions in the editor, the file name and/or interface doesn't give any indication of what version you are working with. Easy to say that's the fault of the external editor, but I disagree -- all external editors are going to work with filenames, so Aperture should produce a unique namespace for any file version so that any external tool will be able to distinguish (visually) one file from another.
Is this completely wacky version management, or is it just me?

Hi Bradley,
Due to the way I personally use Photoshop, I want Aperture to behave as it does.
That's because, with Photoshop, I use layers extensively. Any edits I do (levels, curves, saturation, sharpening) I do on layers. I can delete the layers at any time (or select to show or hide them). Because of this, I actually WANT Aperture to behave the way it does. Once I've done a bunch of edits in Photoshop, if I select again to edit that file in the external editor, I want to work on that specific file (to add another layer, or change one). I don't want another duplicate. I tinkered with this over the weekend, and it worked very nicely for me.
Perhaps you work differently from within Photoshop? Do you ever use layers? If I were to have a bunch of Photoshop "versions," each with 5 layers, I'd have like 5 GB of "versions" for my original 8 MB RAW file, due to the size of PSD files. Yuck
