Playbook Existing Functionality Peeves

There are many things I liked about the Playbook, even over the iPad. But the design (or lack thereof) of some of the functionalities are indeed annoying. Almost enough for me to think about a Galaxy or iPad: -
1. Default Songs/Videos - There is no way to delete these! This is especially so with those annoying sample songs. and it is infuriating to hear them popping up when playing 'all songs'.
2. Browser Issues - including regular sudden crashing (closes by itself while loading page), unstabel page flickering, page loaded content suddenly disappeared after page loading completed
3. Browser Pause - prevents multi-tasking of open applications. The Browser stops when one tries to go to other opened applications at hte same time. For example, it stops loading a page if I decided to 'flip' over to checkthe in-built Weather or Kobo. But more annoying is when I want to hear a You Tube music. It just stops playing when I want to have the music but read Kobo at the same time. This makes 'Multi-Application' claim a joke.
4. 'Spooling' Opened Applications - Why is this not continuous? If I have 3 applications opened and go from #1 to #2 and then #3, to get back to #1, I have to spool backwards pass #2 instead of all other tablets that allows a continuous loop.
5. Browser Favourites Ordering - Does not allow one to sort the order of the assigned shortcuts
7. On/Off button - Can you make it any harder to activate that button? Not responsive and no tactile design. Makes the buttons of a 1980 Ford Taurus feels like a German design.

You might want to reconsider - the iPad's browser doesn't have a home button either.

Bug in exists() function of XI Graphical Mapping Tool?

Hi!
If I connect a source field with the exists() function in XI Graphical Mapping Tool and the tag exists it returns TRUE, otherwise it returns FALSE, so everything works as expected.
But I have to connect a user-defined function with exists(). The user-defined function will either calculate a value or set Resultset.SUPPRESS.
If there is a value the exits() function returns TRUE, however if Resultset.SUPPRESS is set it does also return TRUE! This looks to me like a bug in exists() function. Shouldn't it always return FALSE if the input is Resultset.SUPPRESS?
Regards, Tanja

Hi Stefan!
> The exists() function checks, if a queue is empty.
> An empty queue is <b>not</b> represented by the
> SUPPRESS value.
> If inside a queue there is a SUPPRESS value, the
> queue is <b>not</b> empty.
Ok, so it's not a bug and the exists() function is working as expected.
> If you want the exist() function after a UDF, provide
> an empty queue, or easier: return the values "true"
> or "false" directly from the UDF.
Yes, that's how I actually solved the problem. The UDF was used at several places where the ResultList.SUPPRESS output was needed. So I copied the UDF and changed it so that the output was TRUE or FALSE instead.

How to use XQuery Exist() Function on a SSIS XML file

I have a Package Inventory table that has an XML Column named CurrentPackageXML. This XML column contains the SSIS Package XML. I need to use the XQuery Exist() function to determine if the
errorRowDisposition="IgnoreFailure" exists.
Below I have a basic SQL statement, but I have no idea how to write the Correct XQuery Expression. In my example below, I just tried to see if the DTS:Name Property existed, but that XQuery Expression is invalid also. It is not what I need in the end, but
I was just trying to get anything to work.
Below my SQL, I have included a snip-it of the SSIS package XML where I can find the errorRowDisposition. It is to the far right, so you may have to scroll to the right to see it. I bolded the text so it is easier to find.
Finally, once I have got a SQL statement that checks if errorRowDisposition exists = False, I need to check for every occurrence of errorRowDisposition exists = False.
Would there be an easier way to do this by converting the XML to a varchar(max) then searching for all instances of errorRowDisposition exists = False?
SELECT CurrentPackageXML.exist('/DTS:Executable/DTS:Property[DTS:Name]')
FROM [dbo].[PackageInventory]

Extending the existing functional locations to a new plant?

Hi Sapiens,
The following is my concern:
Q1) I have a set of functional locations(roughly around 5000 records) assigned to say Plant A.
I would like to extend these existing functional locations to Plant B. I am not permitted to do this using LSMW. I should execute this operation in one shot.
How to accomplish this?
Q2) After attaching all the functional locations to Plant B, i should replace the first 4 characters of the functional location structure with the Plant Code itself. Again not through an lsmw. How to accomplish this in one shot?
Please let me know the procedure of doing it with some guidelines.
Thanks in Advance,
Vijaya

Hi
1. You can extentd to the other plant with SCAT ,BDC etc
2. But You can not replace the first four letters from the FL with the New plant code.Remember this is a master data

Need Help Can i use Merge command along with exist function in oracle?

I am using Merge command to update the destination table and updating the rows which are already in the destination table.
But what i want is to delete the existing rows from the destination table and insert fresh rows instead of updating the existing rows in the destination table.
So can we use exist function to check the existing rows and delete them and use merge command to insert the rows in the table.

You definitely need to do a DELETE then INSERT since MERGE will not delete rows, although I'm not really sure what that gets you since the net effect would be the same as a MERGE over the same pair of tables.
If you really want to do it this way, then I would likely do something like:
DELETE FROM target_table
WHERE (columns_you_would_match_on) IN (SELECT columns_you_would_match_on
FROM source_table
WHERE predicate_you_would_use_in_using);
INSERT INTO target_table (column_list)
SELECT column_list
FROM source_table
WHERE predicate_you_would_use_in_using;John

Any existing function to validate an item when other item has been changed?

Any existing function to validate an item when another item has been changed? Because these 2 fields are related. When one filed is changed, the other one should be blank and let the user to input again. I am using oracle custom.pll library.
Any ideas?
Amy

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for posting your issue,
You can switch of alerts and set E-Mail Notification to Yes under your Workflow Tasks list > Settings > Advanced Settings. By doing so user specified in AssignedTo will receive e-mail notification when task is created and if task ownership is not changed
during your workflow this will be the only mail sent by system.
Since you are already using SharePoint designer you also have option to include Send an Email action in your workflow (after task is created). This option is better if you want to send some specific info to user.
Also, browse the below mentioned URLs to create workflow step by step
http://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2010/03/create-a-detailed-custom-task-notification-with-a-sharepoint-designer-workflow/
http://sharepoint-community.net/forum/topics/configure-email-notification-for-discussion-board-activity
I hope this is helpful to you, mark it as Helpful.
If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

How to find suitable( existing) function group for a Function Module ?

How to find suitable( existing) function group for a Function Module to be created?
This is FM for converting amounts to text.

Hi,
If you are not sure into which Function group your FM should go in then its advised to create a Function group of your own. Its not advised to create a function module in any other function group unless its owned by you since your FM can get deleted by others or it can get changed.
Create your own Function group. But if you want to create in an existing FG then best way is to find out the Function Group by searching for suitable existing Function module then see their function group

Exists function

Hi All,
My requirement is souce field format(MM/dd/YY) convert it to target field format(dd-MM-yyyy). I used Date Trans function to achieve the same. The problem is some times the source field may not contain any value. So, I tried exists function some thing like this.
src>exists>input to if functon
src>dateTrans>input to then part of if function.
constant(blank)-->input to else part of if function
Output of if function-->target field.
The problem here is if the the input field is empty, again it is exeuting the DateTrans function and error"Unparsable date".
Pls let me know where I am going wrong...
Thanks & Regards,
Jai Shankar.

Hi,
Yes if you have occurance 1..1 you just need to check for "" blank value thats enough.
Source             Source
        Equals-->IfWithElse-->Target
Constant("")        Constant("")

Create Package of existing functions/procedures

Hey,
I've some functions and procedures.I want to group them together to one package... is it possible to use the existing functions in the Database or do i have to create the whole body which means copying the functions/procedures?
Thanks!

Hi there,
If you need to package the functions and procedures up then you should move the code into a package body. However if you move the code and there are existing calls to these functions / procedures then you could break existing usages.
An alternative would be to create a package with functions / procedure that encapsulate them. e.g. you have a standalone function called get_me_a_value
and you create a function in a package which calls the standalone function ie. packaged_function.get_me_a_value

Editi an existing function module though a program

Hi All,
Is there any to edit the existing code and/or parameters of an existing function module through another program.
Is there any FM known or any other technique ?
Please let me know.

Try transaction WE57 (assigning a function module to a logical message and IDoc type. In your case it should be function module

Dbx WS6U2 bulitin exists function not working

The exists function always returns 1 regardless.
This used to work in 5.0.
This causes the prettyprint function in /opt/SUNWspro/WS6U2/lib/dbxrc not to work.
Any fixes/workarounds available ?

Ok...I got the function working.
But now I need some help...
I'm confused about how to properly use the function.
I mean, I know I only want to pass to it two values, the user input Student ID and Date,
but how does my function know to compare those dates/studentid's to the ones in the
table student_schedule.
here's my code:
create or replace function student_GPA
(StdntID IN Student_schedule.Student_ID%Type,
     DateAssgn IN Student_Schedule.DATE_GRADE_ASSIGNED%Type,
          EnterID IN Number, EnterDate IN VarChar2)
return number is
     GPA number;
     InsDate varchar2(11);
     StdID varchar2(8);
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('--------Get student GPA--------------');
StdID := EnterID;
InsDate:=EnterDate;
-- Calculate the average grade point for this student based on all
-- classes for which a grade has been assigned.
select avg(decode(grade, 'A+', 4.25, 'A', 4, 'A-', 3.75,
'B+', 3.25, 'B', 3, 'B-', 2.75,
'C+', 2.25, 'C', 2, 'C-', 1.75,
'D+', 1.25, 'D', 1, 'D-', 0.75, 'F', 0))
into GPA
from student_schedule
where
StdntID = StdID
AND
DateAssgn >=InsDate
Order by Date_Grade_Assigned Desc;
return GPA;
end;
declare
StID student_schedule.Student_ID%type;
DateGAssgn student_schedule.Date_Grade_Assigned%type;
OutPut varchar2(50);
Begin
StID := &StudentID;
DateGAssgn:=&DateForStudent;
OutPut:=Student_GPA(StID,DateGAssgn);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUTLINE('Student GPA IS: '||OutPut);
End;
I'm rushing now, so maybe I'm missing the obvious...
any ideas?

How to capture the User input value to user exist function module.

Hi,
How can i capture user input value.Here i am using User exist in BPS variable.
Calculating days using user exist functin module and my input is another variable i.e user defined value.
How can i capture user defined vaule into my function module.
This is very urgent can you help me..
Thanks....

Hi!
You can get the instance using the method get_instance of the class cl_sem_variable, and call the method get_value with the return. Check the example:
      CALL METHOD cl_sem_variable=>get_instance
        EXPORTING
          i_area       = (planning area)
          i_variable   = (variable name)
        RECEIVING
          rr_variable = lr_var
        EXCEPTIONS
          not_existing = 1
          OTHERS       = 2.
      CHECK sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
      CALL METHOD lr_var->get_value
        RECEIVING
          rto_value = et_value
        EXCEPTIONS
          error     = 1.
After this, read the first line of the table et_value (it should be the value that the user choose on the screen).

Override Existing functionality in OO ALV

Hi
Can any one give me the procedure to override the standard functionality associcate with the buttons in ALV Toolbar.
I am not able debug the when the user perfroms action on the Standard ALV toolbar. Can you help me
Thanks all.

Check sample program BCALV_EDIT_05. You need to create a local class to handle user actions. By this way you can assign different functionality to an existing key or ad new keys with required functionality.
