The code is working fine and when we execute the report and press F4 on the Field, there is an option for User Input also in the search help. The F4 Help shows the values for Material, Plant and Maintenance Status. Also, the user-input options contain the same fields.
My question is Can we give user an additional field say, MARC-MMSTA to enter the value in but dont display it in the value-list.
Please help. Points will be rewarded to useful answers.
Thanks.

This is not possible.... when ever you give an additional field as user input, these values are definitely reflected when you call for F4 help... So its not possible to avoid the additional field to be displayed...

Question regarding functionality of "Search 1D Array Function" in TCP/IP context

In the attached tcp_Registry.vi, the vi uses the "Search 1D Array Function". I can't figure out why this function can't find the index of the input element, since the inputs to the function match...

I was a bit surprised this morning by the fact that the Initialize vi worked, so I decided, "What the heck?" I'll try the "LCLSA Wave Save To File.vi" again, as I haven't been able to get this one working without errors for the past few months. And, magically, it worked! I didn't believe it, so I ran it again - and it worked again! I still didn't think this was true, so I ran a slightly modified vi I made, "LCLSA Wave Save To File_looped.vi", which just repeats the vi for multiple iterations to create multiple data files. And this worked, too! I have NO idea why today everything seems to be fine - I've seriously had issues with the stuff for at least 3 months. However, I'm just going to go with the flow and see if I can now implement this stuff in my own application now and will let you know how that goes.
A quick question - do you have any suggestions as to how to view the data files properly? I believe they come out as binary, but look like mumbo-jumbo when viewed in a text editor like WordPad. Thanks!

Question Regarding Function Keys on Japanese Wireless Keyboard

When looking at pictures of Apple's Japanese Wireless Keyboard on the offical store* I noticed something interesting: The 4th function key still has dashboard icon on it. I know that at least on the English keyboard they replaced this with a key for Lion's Launchpad feature. So I'm wondering is this product image still accurate or not?
* http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184J/B

Which exactly keyboard you are using, can you provide PN pls?
For latest Ultraslim Plus keyboard you have to install SW and driver and that will put into Systray icon where you can switch it. Like on attached image.

Question regarding decode function.

Hi friends,
I have a question regarding using decode.
I'm try'g to explain my problem using emp table.
Can you guys please help me out.
For example consider emp table, now i want to get all manager id's concatenated for 2 employees.
I tried using following code
declare
v_mgr_code number(10);
v_mgr1      number(4);
v_mgr2      number(4);
begin
select mgr into    v_mgr1
from    scott.emp
where   empno = 7369;
select mgr into    v_mgr2
from    scott.emp
where   empno = 7499;
select v_mgr1||'-'||v_mgr2 into v_mgr_code from dual;
end;now instead of writing 2 select statements can i write one select statement using decode function ?

Question regarding Dashboard and column prompt

My question regarding Dashboard and column prompt:
1) Dashboard prompt usually work with only for columns which are in subject area. In my report I've created some of the columns which are based on other columns. Like I've daysNumber column that is based on two other columns, as it calculates the difference of two dates. When I create dashboard prompt I can't find this column there. I need to make a prompt on this column.
2)For one of the column I've only two values 1 and 0. When I create prompt for this column, is it possible that in drop down list It shows 'Yes' for 1 and 'No' for 0 and still filter the request??

Hi Toony,...
I think there was another way of doing this...
In the dashboard prompt go to Show option > select SQL Results from dropdown.
There you need to write your Logical SQL like...
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END FROM SubjectAreaName
Here.. Periods.Year is the column which is already exists in repository's presentation layer..
and difference of date functionality is the code or formula of column which you want to show in drop-down...
Also write the CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN PERIODS.YEAR ELSE difference of date functionality END code in fx of that prompt.
I think it helps you in doing this..
Just check and inform me if it works...
Thanks & Regards

Question regarding ONT connection via Ethernet and Cable cards

Hi,
We recently upgraded to Fios Quation 150Mbps/65 plan. We are not getting the advertised speeds (we only get like 5mbps upload) so verizon is sending a tech to switch the ONT connection from coax to ethernet.
I have 2 questions regarding this new setup:
1. If the ONT communicates with the Fios Actiontect router via ethernet instead of coax from now on, How will the set top boxes and Tivo-esque cable card powered device I currently have connected to coax, talk to the verizon system from now on, if coax is taken out of the equation? Will fios signal still flow through the internal coax wiring of the house? And moreover, I was under the impression that coax was the way set top boxes communicated and derived independent ip addresses from the Fios router, for on deman purposes and what not. How will this work from now on?
Quiestion 2.
Right next to the wall where the ONT sits, theres's a basement office where we have a PC that connects to the Fios system via an Actiontect MoCa adapter (ECB2500C) which I assume derives it internet connection from the Fios Actiontec router which sits upstairs in the living room.
Again, with the Coax about to be disabled next Friday in favor of ethernet connection from the ONT, I assume this PC will be left without internet because of the lack of internet signal in the coax? Is this correct?
Question 2.5 If my above assumption is correct, since this office is right on the other side of the wall where the ONT sits outside the house, would it be possible to run an ethernet wire through the wall that connects straight from the ONT to an ethernet switch inside the office, from which I would derive a connection for this basement PC (properly firewalled of course) and then, from said switch, continue running the ethernet wire that would ultimately reach the Actiontec Fios router upstairs from which the rest of the house derives it's internet? and would this setup affect in any way the propper functioning of the cable boxes in the house?
I'd appreciate your input and any help you can provide so I can have a ballpark idea of what to tell the Fios guy to do when he comes on Friday.
Cheers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not valid to have two devices connected to the ONT, PC and VZ Router. Must be a single device. The ONT locks onto the MAC Address of the first device it sees. Since you have TV you should have the VZ router as the internet facing router.
Other options:
1. Have the VZ Router located next to the PC in the basement and then use Wireless for all other PC's.
2. Have the VZ Router located next to the PC in the basement but run one wire upstairs and connect a switch where other PCs and devices can connect via a wire.
Hope that helps.

Questions regarding creation of vendor in different purchase organisation

Hi abap gurus .
i have few questions regarding data transfers .
1) while creating vendor , vendor is specific to company code and vendor can be present in different purchasing organisations within the same company code if the purchasing organisation is present at plant level .my client has vendor in different purchasing org. how the handle the above situatuion .
2) i had few error records while uploading MM01 , how to download error records , i was using lsmw with predefined programmes .
3) For few applications there are no predefined programmes , no i will have to chose either predefined BAPI or IDOCS . which is better to go with . i found that BAPI and IDOCS have same predefined structures , so what is the difference between both of them .

Hi,
1. Create a BDC program with Pur orgn as a Parameter on the selection screen
so run the same BDC program for different Put organisations so that the vendors
are created in different Pur orgns.
2. Check the Action Log in LSMW and see
3.see the doc
BAPI - BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are the standard SAP interfaces. They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.
Check your procedure using this Links.

Questions regarding Optimizing formulas in IP

Dear all,
This weekend I had a look at the webinar on Tips and Tricks for Implementing and Optimizing Formulas in IP.
Im currently working on an IP-implementation and encounter the following when getting more in-depth.
Id appreciate very much if you could comment on the questions below.
1.) I have a question regarding optimization 3 (slide 43) about Conditions:
If the condition is equal to the filter restriction, then the condition can be removed.
I agree fully on this, but have a question on using the Planning Function (PF) in combination with a query as DataProvider.
In my query I have a filter in the Characteristic restriction.
It contains variables on fiscal year, version. These only allow single value entry.
The DataProvider acts as filter for my PF. So Id suppose I dont need a condition for my PF since it is narrowed down on fiscal year and version by my query.
a.) Question: Is that correct?
I just one to make sure that I dont get to many records for my PF as input. How detrimental for performance is it to use conditions anyway?
2.) I read in training BW370 (IP-training) that a PF is executed for the currently set filter (navigational state) in the query and that characteristics that are used in restricted keyfigures are ignored in the filter.
So, if I use version in the restr. keyfig it will be ignored.
Questions:
a.) Does this mean that the PF is executed for all versions in the system or for the versions that are in the filter of the Characteristic Restrictions and not the currently set filter?
b.) Id suppose the dataset for the PF can never be bigger than the initial dataset that is selected by the query, right?
c.) Is the PF executed anaway against navigational state when I use filtering? If have an example where I filter on field customer thus making my dataset smaller, but executing the PF still takes the same amount of time.
d.) And I also encounter that the PF is executed twice. A popup comes up showing messages regarding the execution. After pressing OK, it seems the PF runs again...
3.) If I use variables in my Planning Function I dont want to fill in the parameter VAR_VALUE with a value. I want to use the variable which is ready for input from the selection screen of the query.
So when I run the PF it should use the BI-variable. Its no problem to customize this in the Modeler. But when I go into the frontend the field VAR_VALUE stays empty and needs a value.
Question:
a.) What do I enter here? For parameter VAR_NAME I use the variable name, but what do I use for parameter VAR_VALUE? Also the variable name?
4.) Question regarding optimization 6 (slide 48) about Formulas on MultiProviders:
'If the formula is using data of only one InfoProvider but is defined on a MultiProvider, the the complete formual should be moved to the single base InfoProvider'.
In our case we have three cubes in the MP, two realtime and one normal one. Right now we have one AggrLevel (AL) on op of the MP.
For one formula I can use one cube so it's better to cretae another AL with the formula based on that cube.
For another formula I need the two realtime cubes. This is interesting regarding the optimization statement.
Question:
a.) Can I use the AL on the MP then or is it better to create a new MP with only these two cubes and create an AL on top of that. And than create the formula on the AL based on the MP with the two cubes?
This makes the architecture more complex.
Thanks a lot in advance for your appreciated answers!
Kind regards, Harjan


Marc,
Some additional questions regarding locking.
I encounter that the dataset that is locked depends on the restrictions made in the 'Characteristic Restrictions'-part of the query.
Restrictions in the 'Default Values'-part are not taken into account. In that case all data records of the characteristic are locked.
Q1: Is that correct?
To give an example: Assume you restrict customer on hierarchy node in Default Values. If you want people to plan concurrently this is not possible since all customers are locked then. When customer restriction is moved to Char Restr the system only locks the specific cutomer hier node and people can plan concurrently.
Q2: What about variables use in restricted keyfigures like variable for fy/period? Is only this fy/period locked then?
Q3: We'd like to lock on a navigational attribute. The nav attr is put as a variable in the filter of the Characteristic Restrictions. Does the system then only lock this selection for the nav.attr? Or do I have to change my locking settings in RSPLSE?
Then question regarding locking of data for functions:
Assume you use the BEx Analyzer and use the query as data_provider_filter for your planning function. You use restricted keyfigures with char Version. First column contains amount for version 1 and second column contains amount for version 2.
In the Char Restrictions you've restricted version to values '1' and '2'.
When executing the inputready query version 1 and 2 are locked. (due to the selection in Char Restr)
But when executing the planning function all versions are locked (*)
Q4: True?
Kind regards, Harjan

Dilemma regarding function based indexes

Hello,
I have a dilemma regarding function based indexes.
I have read Note:66277.1 on the Metalink discussing thoroughly the subject of “Concepts and Usage of Function Based Indexes”.
This doc was revised on 30-May-2006 so I was sure it referred to 9i and 10g.
This doc as well as other docs on the web claim that in order to use FBI (function based indexes) one must set the following parameters (can be done also at session level)
QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED = TRUE
QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY = TRUSTED
Also the schema that is owner of the FBI should be granted with QUERY REWRITE sys priv and statistics should be collected since FBI is usable only by CBO (cost based optimizer).
I have tested it and it works, my problem was that it worked
(1)     Without granting the QUERY REWRITE to the owning schema.
(2)     QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED was set to false.
(3)     QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY was set to enforced.
I have conducted my tests on 9.2.0.6 and found no evidence in the docs (10g) saying the above is required or not.
I found at http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:1197786003246 the following:
“Oracle9iR2 relaxed this so that the FBI on the builtin function may be used.”
so I have tested it with my own function:
create or replace function upper2( p_str in varchar2 ) return
varchar2 DETERMINISTIC
as
begin
return upper(p_str);
end;
=>
Also (yes you guessed right), without any privilege granted nor parameter setting the optimizer picked my FBI.
Can anyone refer me to a place documenting this behavior as a correct one?
Other comments?
Regards,
Tal Olier ([email protected])

Got an answer from Oracle support:
19-DEC-06 18:04:31 GMT
(Update for record id(s): 101017780,101017796)
QUESTION
========
Questions about the options required in 10g related to Function Based Indexes, and the correct
behaviors associated with them.
ANSWER
======
For 10g:
These requirements are no longer true in 10g. This has already clarified by
development in the Bug 3999326 which is available on metalink.
For 9I:
For the creation of a function-based index in your own schema, you must be
granted the QUERY REWRITE system privileges. To create the index in another
schema or on another schema's tables, you must have the CREATE ANY INDEX
and GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE privileges.
You must have the following initialization parameters defined to create a
function-based index:
QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY set to TRUSTED
QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED set to TRUE
COMPATIBLE set to 8.1.0.0.0 or a greater value
Additionally, to use a function-based index:
The table must be analyzed after the index is created.
The query must be guaranteed not to need any NULL values from the indexed
expression, since NULL values are not stored in indexes.
However, in 9.2.0.4 patchset, these prerequisites do not apply and one can
create function-based indexes without any of the above to be true. This is not
the case in 9.2.0.3, not in 8.1.7.
Reference: Oracle 9i R2 Administrators Guide
So as mentioned above that is why you didnt have any errors
Please back to us if any further information is need, and we will be pleased to
assist you further.
Thank You,

Question about function with in parameters

Hello,
I have a question about functions with in-parameters. In the HR schema, I need to get the minimum salary of the job_id that is mentioned as an in-parameter.
this is what I am thinking but I dont know if it's correct or not or what should I do next!
create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
return number
as
begin
SELECT min_salary INTO min_sal
FROM jobs
where job_id = get_minimum_salary(xy);
RETURN i_job_id;
end get_minimum_salary;
thanks in advance
EDIT
Thanks for your help all.
Is it possible to add that if the i_job_id which is the in type parameter does not have a minimum salary then use the following function to register an error:
create or replace procedure insert_error (i_error_code in number,
i_error_message in varchar2)
as
begin
insert into error_table (error_user, error_date, error_code, error_message)
values (user,sysdate,i_error_code,i_error_message);
end insert_error;
This function is basically to say that an error has occured and to register that error, at the same time I need to print out the error using the dbms_out.put_line.
Any ideas of how to do that?
Thanks again
Edited by: Latvian83 on Jun 1, 2011 5:14 AM

HI
I have made little bit changes in ur code. try this
create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
return number
as
v_Min_sal jobs.salary%type=0;---- Variable declaration
begin
SELECT min_salary INTO v_ min_sal
FROM jobs
where job_id = i_job_id;
RETURN v_Min_sal;

Questions regarding new functionalities in EhP 4 - Reporting Financials 2

Dear Forum,
in a project we would like to use some new functionalities from Reporting Financials 2 - ie. Datasource 0FI_AA_20 for Depreciation and Amortization loading to BI for following years as this can not be done by old extractor.
We are know looking for reliable information about impact and changes that are made in ERP if we switch on the functionality Reporting Financials 2 via SFW5? Will old extracors work nevertheless? Will all reports in ERP work without problems? Is there any impact on business processes? Or is this just additional functionality which will not affect current implementation?
Can anybody give information about this?
Thanks, regards
Lars

Question regarding the "mcxquery" and "dscl -mcxread" commands:

Question regarding the mcxquery and dscl -mcxread commands:
Does anyone know why the mcxquery and the dscl . -mcxread commands don't show any info about MCX managed login items & printers? The System Profiler's "Managed Client" section does. Id like to see info regarding managed printers and managed login items using the mcx tools. I have Mac users running 10.5.2 with both login items and printers that are pushed out to them via MCX. The System Profiler app shows all of their policies, but the dscl . -mcxread and mcxquery tools dont. Why not?

How do you "call procedures/functions" without sql code? You need at least the call statement like
{call myProc(?,?,?)}that you wrap into a CallableStatement.
Other than that: when you switch off autocommit, you need to call commit/rollback at the end. Usually, if you don't commit/rollback a non-autocommitted connection, the transaction get's committed/rollbacked when you close the connection - that depends on the JDBC driver. But it's never a good idea to ommit the commit/rollback calls on a non-autocommit connection. Usually you enclose your code in a try/catch block like this:
con.setAutocommit(false);
try {
   con.commit();
} catch (Exception e) {
   con.rollback();
} finally {
    con.setAutocommit(true); //or:
    con.close();
}

Questions regarding Disk I/O

Hey there, I have some questions regarding disk i/o and I'm fairly new to Java.
I've got an organized 500MB file and a table like structure (represented by an array) that tells me sections (bytes) within the file. With this I'm currently retrieving blocks of data using the following approach:
// Assume id is just some arbitary int that represents an identifier.
String f = "/scratch/torum/collection.jdx";
int startByte = bytemap[id-1];
int endByte = bytemap[id];
try {
 FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(f);
 DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(stream);
 in.skipBytes(startByte);
 int position = collectionSize - in.available();
 // Keep looping until the end of the block.
 while(position <= endByte) {
 line = in.readLine();
 // some pocessing here
 String[]entry = line.split(" ");
 String docid = entry[1];
 int tf = Integer.parseInt(entry[2]);
 // update the current position within the file.
 position = collectionSize - in.available();
 } catch(IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }This code does EXACTLY what I want it to do but with one complication. It isn't fast enough. I see that using BufferedReader is the choice after reading:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/PerfTuning/
I would love to use this Class but BufferedReader doesn't have the function, "skipBytes(), which is vital to achieve what I'm trying to do. I'm also aware that I shouldn't really be using the readLine() function of the DataInputStream Class.
So could anyone suggest improvements to this code?
Thanks

Okay I've got some results and turns out DataInputStream is faster...
EDIT: I was wrong. RandomAccessFile becomes a bit faster according to my test code when the block size to read is large.
So I guess I could write two routines in my program, RAF for when the block size is larger than an arbitary value and FileInputStream for small blocks.
Here is the code:
public void useRandomAccess() {
 String line = "";
 long start = 1385592, end = 1489808;
 try {
 RandomAccessFile in = new RandomAccessFile(f, "r");
 in.seek(start);
 while(start <= end) {
 line = in.readLine();
 String[]entry = line.split(" ");
 String docid = entry[1];
 int tf = Integer.parseInt(entry[2]);
 start = in.getFilePointer();
 } catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 } catch(IOException ioe) {
 ioe.printStackTrace();
public void inputStream() {
 String line = "";
 int startByte = 1385592, endByte = 1489808;
 try {
 FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(f);
 DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(stream);
 in.skipBytes(startByte);
 int position = collectionSize - in.available();
 while(position <= endByte) {
 line = in.readLine();
 String[]entry = line.split(" ");
 String docid = entry[1];
 int tf = Integer.parseInt(entry[2]);
 position = collectionSize - in.available();
 } catch(IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }and the main looks like this:
 public static void main(String[]args) {
 DiskTest dt = new DiskTest();
 long start = 0;
 long end = 0;
 start = System.currentTimeMillis();
 dt.useRandomAccess();
 end = System.currentTimeMillis();
 System.out.println("Random: "+(end-start)+"ms");
 start = System.currentTimeMillis();
 dt.inputStream();
 end = System.currentTimeMillis();
 System.out.println("Stream: "+(end-start)+"ms");
 }The result:
Random: 345ms
Stream: 235ms
Hmmm not the kind of result I was hoping for... or is it something I've done wrong?

Questions regarding the APEX sample shopping cart

I am fairly new to APEX development, but had a few questions regarding the sample APEX shopping cart:
1) is there a way to integrate Google check out payments with the sample APEX shopping cart
2) is there any way to list a service, that involves monthly recurring payments
3) is there any other shopping cart that is APEX based that is available
Thank you,
Ashok

Hi Sam,
i am haveing a deadline monitoring for my shopping cart where remainders are going to generate for first day and the second day, after both the remainders generated and the approver changing the cost center or asset or order at that time, the workflow flow should retrigger and send the approval mail to the new approver, but it is not going to the new approver, so the workflow is not triggering in my case. so i need to restart my workflow again if any changes occurs.
in the second point my functional guy says that, when the approver changes any text or any date like that it should come for the accept changes, and when he sees the approval preview, only the approval person should be there but not the creator person in the preview and when the creator of the sc accepts the changes it is showing that it is approved by the creator name but he says that it should the approver name not the creator name.
so can you please help me in this to get the solution.
thanks in advance
