Question about creation dimension items

It is possible to load items from a dimension in the logical layer?
Like this : I have a dimension of Vehicles and have this items:
Cars
Motorbikes
Trucks
Is possible to create in logical layer a new member of dimension like Cars/Motorbikes?
In presentation layer I would see if I click on this dimension:
Cars
Motorbikes
Trucks
Cars/Motorbikes
Thank you!!

I assume you're using Portal 3.0. There's not much you can do to control the sorting in the category or perspective portlets. In Portal Release 2, the custom search portlet replaces the category/perspective portlets and gives you additional control, including control over the sort order if you don't have Oracle Text enabled.
As a workaround, you could write a custom report or dynamic page using the content area views to display content anyway you want.

Short questions about the focused item

Hi,
Short questions about the focused item:
- How can I check if a specific item has the focus?
- How can I check in my code which arbitrary item on my form has the focus?
I need to know this because I have a checkbox and when it become unchecked, I disable an item on my form. But when this item has the focus, disabling this item will fail. Does anyone knows a solution for this problem?

Hi Eddy!
I suppose you should make an "event trigger" for the event "et_GOT_FOCUS" in your ItemEvent-handler and store there the item, which initiate that event. It can be like following:
SBOApp_ItemEvent(FormUID, pVal, BubbleEvent)
if (pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_GOT_FOCUS)
   strCurrItemInFocus = pVal.ItemUID;
do someth..
if (strCurrItemInFocus == "chbxMyCheckbox1")
   // disabling this item will fail
else
   // disable an item on my form
I hope it helps..

Question about Measure folders Items (dimensions & measures)

Hi All,
I have tow question about measure folder
1-     How can I make measure folder contain both dimensions & measures?
     Like this image http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/r10122/images/d1t10202.gif
2-     When I create measure folder and add some measures in it, when I query cube these measures still displayed out of folders how can I make all measures and dimensions displayed only on folders like the above image ?

Gado

Hi Andy,
There should be no difference in functionality for these two kinds of folders. You can perform all the operations on these two kinds of folders without any difference, for example, delivery messages, create view settings/rules and etc.

2 questions about Dropdown Box Item

Hi all,
I just started using Design Studio and I have two questions about the Dropodown Box Item (well actually it's more about scripting...):
- in the startup script of the application I want to populate one dropdown box with master data values of the infoobject 0FISCPER, how can I realize that? (if I use "DS_1.getMemberList...." I get only the values of 0FISCPER for which there is transaction data)
- as a datasource I use a query with 2 variables:
- Is it possible to populate these 2 variables with default values and skip the initial Variabile Initialization Screen?
- I use 2 dropdown box items to set the values of these 2 variables. For one variable everything it's ok (I select the value in the dropdown and the script populate the variable with that value and the data in the crosstable changes accordingly) but for the other variable associated to the 0FISCPER infoobject when I select the value in the dropdown it's seem that nothing happens since the Variabile Initialization Screen pop-up and an error says that I have to select a value for the variable. I did the same simple scripts for the these 2 variables, why does it work for one variable and not for the other?
Thanks,
Michele

I answer myself about one question:
"Is it possible to populate these 2 variables with default values and skip the initial Variabile Initialization Screen?"
Yes, it's possible to create a script in order to populate the variables in the event "On Variable Initialization" of the Application and set false to the property "Force Prompts on Startup".

Question about using library items in forms

After a long time I am again returning to this perpetual fountain of Dreamweaver knowledge.
I am converting a site from AGL to DW. In AGL I used a separate template for the forms (there are over 10) and used "components" to create the different forms. Each form shared features with other forms but were not identical, all together 5 components. When I converted over to DW the 5 compnents were made into 5 "library items" but neither the form template or the library items work, by that I mean they do not update if I make a change.
Hence I want to make 5 new library items to use in the forms my question is this: when I choose an item to put in the form like a text field or radio button I always get this window.
Though I read the documentation I am still not really clear about the "style" option so I just choose "no label tag." What is this used for? Any examples of how it is used?
Regarding "position" before or after the item, what is this all about? I have been choosing "after form item" but I don't really know what the difference is and what advantages or disadvantages acrue from these choices.
Regarding "Access key" and "Tab index" I sort of have the idea of what it is about but an example of how they work in action would clear up any nebulosity.
But my real puzzle is with the following which pops up at the end when I am inserting a form items.
Since the library items are not separate forms in themselves I have NOT added the form tag because my reasoning is that when I make the new form templates it will have the requisite form tags. Am I correct in this line of thinking? Or do I have to add form tags every time I add form elements to a form? I really don't want to have to do the whole thing over again if I get it wrong. So if one of you kind souls could guide me in doing it right the first time I would really appreciate it.
I am using a MBP, OS X 10.6.8, DW CS6

To declare constants create a Package-Specification in a pll and deifne all your constants there, something like:
PACKAGE PK_CONSTANTS IS
RC_SUCCESS CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 1;
RC_FAILURE CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 0;
RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND := 50;
END;Then attach that pll to all your forms-modules, and use it like
IF rc = PK_CONSTANTS.RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND THEN
END IF;A word about exceptions or errors: In my eyes its clearer (and in case of exceptions even better) to raise an exception than to hide it behind return-codes.

Question about the dimensions of a multiprovider

Hi all,
I need to create a multiprovider based on 2 infocubes. They have 22 dimensions altogether, without taking the default ones in account.
I'm able to group 6 dimensions into 2 because they have characteristics in common, but after this action there will still be 16 dimensions.
My question is: is there any problem in putting unrelated dimensions together? Would there be some problem related to the multiprovider design?
Thanks and regards,
Tiago.

HI,
This mainly depends on the reporting requirements you have. If you want to do better on the reporting performance since the requirement is on the two cube with more number of characteristics. While design the cube take only those char which are useful for reporting. Group the char in dimension as per the reportign requirements like the two char collectively used in a query can be used in one dimension.

Question about customer line item clearing

Hello everyone,
There is one question here. Since from the result of FBL5N in SAP, the total amount of AR is zero, but the cleared /Open symbol still show these items are open. Itu2019s very strange because these should be shown as cleared items as the total amount is zero.
Do we have to clear them manually? or does it take time to show effect in the system?
Plz explain.
Thanks
Leena...

Hi Leena,
While pulling the customer report for open item by giving today's date if you are still finding open items being there total to zero, you need to manually clear them. Transaction Code-F-32

The question about max line item in material document

Dear sir:
I want to excute CO27 for an FP . It will create material documents. The max line item is 100 in each material document. But I want to record 400 lines in a material document. Is it possbile to change the number of max line in material document? How could I do to change that ? Thanks !!

I know about 333 in case of physical inventory because the finacial document has a technical limitation of 3 digits for Fi document item number, which means the FI document cannot take more than 999 lines.
In case of physical inventory a material document item can create up to 3 FI item lines. So the limit for physical inventory became 333.
I dont know from where you have the 100 as limitation, but take the above said into consideration before you change anything.

Question about returning online items...

Just to confirm, the 15-day timeframe begins when the item is delivered to the residence, correct? Not when the order is initially placed?

Hi jbtb07,
Thank you for taking the time to connect with us on the forum.
It looks like CrystalWoW was able to answer your questions; however, let me see if there is anything else I can help add. As CrystalWow mentioned, a "special order" product will be ordered directly from the manufacturer. A majority of our special order products will tend to be appliances and should be marked accordingly on BestBuy.com. If you ordered an item from one of our online Marketplace retailers, then you would want to contact them directly regarding a return or exchange.
I hope you have a wonderful day, and let us know if you have any other questions!

Question about Create Dimension

Good morning,
I am reading the Oracle Concepts document and on page 4-22 it presents a "CREATE DIMENSION" statement used to create the "customers_dim" dimension in the sample schema SH.
The statement presented is:
CREATE DIMENSION customers_dim
   LEVEL customer IS (customers.cust_id)
   LEVEL city IS (customers.cust_city)
   LEVEL state IS (customers.cust_state_province)
   LEVEL country IS (countries.country_id)
   LEVEL subregion IS (countries.country_subregion)
   LEVEL region IS (countries.country_region)
   HIERARCHY geog_rollup (
     customer CHILD OF
     city CHILD OF
     state CHILD OF
     country CHILD OF
     subregion CHILD OF
     region
JOIN KEY (customers.country_id) REFERENCES country )
ATTRIBUTE customer DETERMINES
    (cust_first_name, cust_last_name, cust_gender,
    cust_marital_status, cust_year_of_birth,
    cust_income_level, cust_credit_limit)
ATTRIBUTE country DETERMINES (countries.country_name);When I issued the above statement (verbatim from the document), I got the following error:
SQL> @customers_dim
LEVEL customer IS (customers.cust_id)
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-30371: column cannot define a level in more than one dimensionI found the following using Google:
Cause:     A column was used in the definition of a level after it had already
        been used to define a level in a different dimension.But, I don't see how the cust_id is defining a level in more than one dimension. There is probably a trivial error someplace but, I don't know enough yet about dimensions to figure it out.
Help is appreciated, thank you,
John.

SB and Hoek,
Thank you both. :)
I will give Dion Cho's version in PL/SQL a try :)
For those that might be interested, Dion Cho posted this link:
http://yong321.freeshell.org/freeware/Windowsoerr.htmlwhere you can get the *nix version which is a perl script. If you are on Windows and don't want to depend on perl and/or CIGWIN, the script can be compiled using perl2exe (as Yong Huang - the author - suggests on his web page).

Question about extending dimension and fact tables

We have our data warehouse completely loaded with several years of historical data. We now want to extend one of our dimension tables by performing a type 1 customization to add an additional column to that dimension table.
Is there a way for the ETL to update all of the historical records in the dimension table by filling in the data for the new column? Assume that we made the necessary changes in the database and updated the ETL mapping accordingly. We want to avoid having to truncate the table or doing a full load again -- even just for that table and the corresponding facts.

Remove the last refresh date for the table in the DAC repository...that will force an ujpdate of the whole table without you needing to reload everything.
Oh yeah and you're in the wrong forum: Business Intelligence Applications

Question about sorting of items...

...when their perspective is published as a portlet. We have a perspective published as a portlet, and the items are seemingly sorted in some random order. How are these items sorted? Thanks for the help.

I assume you're using Portal 3.0. There's not much you can do to control the sorting in the category or perspective portlets. In Portal Release 2, the custom search portlet replaces the category/perspective portlets and gives you additional control, including control over the sort order if you don't have Oracle Text enabled.

Question about Authentication on item-level

If you set authentication for a page item, am I correct in assuming that it does get processed (i.e. the value in the item can be used for example in the where-clause in a query), but it just does not get displayed?

i mean a normal item on a page. For example a selectlist, or textfield.
In the app I'm currently developing, I have a few user levels. Normal users should only see their own records in a report, admins should be able to see all records.
So what I have for the admins, is a select-list with the usernames, so they can choose whose records they can see. A normal user can't see the select-list.
When a user logs in, I set the value of the select-list to their user-id (and the select-list displays the corresponding name, based on a LOV). The query which displays the report looks at the select-list to see for which user it must show records. So, when an admin selects a different username, it will show the records for that user. When a normal user logs in, he/she won't see the select-list, but the query does use the value of that select-list in the query.
Now what I want to know for sure, is that the select-list is always processed upon loading, and not that it's just a coincidence in this case that it's working.
I'm asking because if you check the help for the Authorization-option in the item, it says "Optionally select an authorization scheme which must evaluate to TRUE in order for this component to be rendered or otherwise processed."
From this I would think that it won't contain a value if the authorization is false (which would be in the case of a normal user).
I'm using HTML DB 1.6, by the way.

Quick question about movie dimensions

I've got a movie that is 776 x 592 and encoded as H.264. The movie does not have an audio track. I want to cut this movie up and sync it up to a voice over file that I have as a WAV file. I want my end file to have the same dimensions (776 x 592) and hopefully not lose any quality in the video since it is a screen recording and a loss in quality will make any text appear blurry.
So, can this be done in either Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro?
PS - My first idea was to use iMovie but I quickly realized that iMovie converts all to DV and scales the video to DVD dimensions which is not what I want.

First off, you've got to get out of the h.264 codec to something you can properly edit with. (Why in heavens name did you record in that?)
Secondly you've got to edit a sequence preset to match your screen size.
If you've got the drives to handle playing it back, I'd suggest 8-bit uncompressed. Or dvcpro50. Make sure you match the framerate. Is it progressive (probably!) or interlaced? Make sure you match that.
Drop the file into compressor, set up your parameters and give it a shot. Check back in with any issues.

Question about generic dimension in MDX for Universe

Hi All,
I'm testing this syntax in MDXtest and works very fine
WITH
   SET [0COMP_CODE_MEMBERS] AS '[0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].members'
   MEMBER [0COMP_CODE].[MAX] AS 'Max( [0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].members, [Measures].CurrentMember )'
   MEMBER [0COMP_CODE].[MIN] AS 'Min( [0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].members, [Measures].CurrentMember )'
   MEMBER [0COMP_CODE].[SUM] AS 'Sum( [0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].members, [Measures].CurrentMember )'
SELECT
   NON EMPTY [0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].members * [0CALMONTH2].[LEVEL01].members ON COLUMNS,
   NON EMPTY AddCalculatedMembers( [0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].members ) ON ROWS
from
ZNDS_M01/ZNDS_M01_Q0001
WHERE
( [Measures].[4F2TKUKDVLVTAQQ5JBLREGNJH] )
I'm using this in one measure
Sum( [0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].members, [Measures].CurrentMember )
But, how can I replace
[0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].
for a generic measure?
I need the sume depend of what the user add to the grid or select in the graph.
How can I do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
[0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01] doesn't look like a measure to me.
what exactly is it that you trying to do ?
