Problem with data format while getting data from BI

Hi,
I am trying to build a universe for the development of Web I reports, the data source on which I am trying to build the universe is from BI.
There is date field in the data, which is loaded in to BI as a date, but while I am building the universe over the cube I am getting it as a character.
When I am trying to use that field in the Web I reports, I have a problem sorting the date column.

hi ,
when you run the webi report , click change query and in that go to yourt field properties and then chage its settings to date.
I think I have done this of similar kind lontg back. But there is this property somewhere where we can change the type of the varaible and then you can see the expected resutls.
Thanks ,
Anjna

SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below "Invalid date format" while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

We migrated Packages from SSIS 2008 to 2012. The Package is working fine in all the environments except in one of our environment.

the specified type.".
End Error
But when we reorder the column in "Updated" in Destination table, the package is importing data successfully.
This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

Hi Mohideen,
Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
Hope this helps.

Problem With the Triggers while migrating Forms from 5 to 6i

When I open the version 5 fmb file in Forms 6i, some of the triggers in the form level triggers and also in data block, are having red arrow marked on them and they seem to have no code in them. So when i compile the form then those triggers are shown as errors and when I close those triggers, they are deleting.
The error looks like this..
Error 103 at line 2, column 1
Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise
return select update while with <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql commit <a single-quoted SQL string>
And finally the form will compile with out any errors. But when I run the form getting error again saying,
FRM 10221: Cannot read file

Hi,
the forms migration assistant tells you about v2 styles triggers (even if they are not migrated ; ) )
take a look at :
[url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e10394/migtool.htm#i100490]Using the Oracle Forms Migration Assistant
Raises a warning in the Form module's log if V2-style triggers are found.
There is also a point you must look at.
In a former project I made a migration from forms 4.5 to 10g and there was foms-level triggers applied at let say the block level or item level (I cant remember exactly) and this is not permitted anymore in 10g.
Again the forms migration assistant Provides warnings about triggers defined at incorrect levels.
Hope this helps

Why do I get "Error 1 occured at Config Data Registry.vi(get data) invalid object 0" while starting my application?

Why do I get "Error 1 occured at Config Data Registry.vi(get data) invalid object 0" when starting my application created in LabVIEW 7.1? I am starting the application in a PXI rack running Windows XP. I have an executable written in LabVIEW 7.0 that runs without this error. After clicking the Continue button in the error, the application seems to continue happily.
Is there something I need to include when I make the executable?
I would like to understand and eliminate this start up error.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,
I looked through the program and I figured out where the error is coming from, and potentially what is causing it. In a lot of the cases of the program you are searching a 1-D array for the name of the case, and if you don't find it then it skips the function and gives "Error 1 occurred at Config Data Registry.vi(CASENAME) invalid object 0". I attached a screenshot that shows what I mean. The Search 1-D Array.vi is returning a -1 which means it didn't find the case. The reason I believe this is happening is because the shift register for that array is not initialized. While the other cases "reset" and "register" interact with the array shift registers and most likely create the array you need, if the program defaults to the "get data" case then it will try to run that before registering and won't have an array to search. This would also explain why it only has this problem at first and seems to run just fine after that. To fix this you should either make an initial array and wire it into the shift register or make the "reset" case the default as opposed to the "get data" case.

Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

Different Date Formats in the same "From"

Hello
We used different date formats depending on the users language.
In a report this is simple to implement ... read the date field twice (in different formats dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy) and display only one based on the language.
I want to be able to do the same in a "form" which updates a date. In this case the about is not allowed.
Has anyone have solution for this using "APEX" forms or do a need to write a process to achieve this?
Thanks
Pete

Pete,
You don't specify what version of Application Express you're using, so I'll assume APEX 3.1 or later.
Are you setting the date format yourself, based upon the user's language?
1) You could have the application's language derived from Browser, and then APEX would automatically set the NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY settings accordingly. Then, I would simply use 'DS' as the Application Date Format. For Date Pickers on a form, I would use item type 'Date Picker (use Application Date Format)'.
2) If you're already determining the date format yourself and you don't want APEX to do it for you, ensure that you are setting this value in an application item (e.g., PETE_DATE_FORMAT). Then, you could still use Application Date Format with a value of &PETE_DATE_FORMAT. (inclusive of the trailing period).
When you use Application Date Format, the conversion should happen automatically for you so that you don't have to code this yourself on the Form.
I hope this helps.

Validity end date is not getting copied from inquiry to quotation.

Hi Friends,
While creating quotation the validity end date is not getting copied from inquiry to quotation.
What setting needs to be done, pl suggest.
Regards,
Hari.

Sreehari,
i dont find any logic of having Same validity date for Quotation and Inquiry....
the simple reason is explained by example: Say you have created Inquiry on 1st november and end date is 15th novembr. Customer comes to you on 14th november and asked for Quotation, and if you refer quotation on that day that means its only applicable for one day, which generally wont be the case.
There is no option for copying the validity dates from Inquiry to Quotation as per standard. If you want, create routine, place it in copy control.
Thanks,
raja

Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.

Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.
I saved a new workspace and it did not help.
No problem before I went to Maverick.

I found the fix, go to System Preferences and open Mission Control and uncheck the box to keep monitors as they were (When switching to an application...........)
