"Referenced" Table Cells not copying formatting of the source table

Hi-
I have one sheet that has a rental inventory table that is quite large. On another page, I have a "printable" version that has filtering applied to hide certain columns.
What I did orginally was duplicate the table on the inventory page, cut it, then go to my printable sheet, and paste it. I now have a duplicate version of the original. Then I go and select all cells, hit delete and all the contents disappear leaving me with the correct formating.
At this point I can type in cells and see that the formating is intact (certain cells are in Bold for example).
I delete the test contents, then reference the first cell (a1) to the source table, then copy the references across that entire printable table. Once I've done that, all of the contents of the source table now appear in the "printable" table.
The problem is, that once I reference the source table, the formatting goes away. The data shows up correctly: ie, =Equip List :: B2, but the specific cell formating is gone.
What am i doing wrong here?
Thanks
Matt

"I delete the test contents, then reference the first cell (a1) to the source table, then copy the references across that entire printable table."
If you do this by selecting and Copying the first cell containing the formula, that "copy" includes the formatting of the copied cell. If you then Paste, the Paste includes that format setting. You could try Edit > Paste and Match format.
If that doesn't work, you could try this:
Enter, then fill the formula as you've done, then set the format of each cell or group of cells to include the attributes you want at that location.

Barry

Selection in the master table is not getting reflected in the child table

<p> I have a 4 level master detail relationship.I have a bounded taskflow where I have a master in the first view.The child (The other two levels as a tree) in the second view.I move to second view when i click the command link(Each row has a command link) of the master table (present in the first view).</p>
<p>At the very first time when i try to insert a row in the child it's successful .I am able to see the same in the second view (The corresponding child of the master row which i have clicked).The 2 view is not refreshed i have panel strech layout in the 2 view which i am refreshing(PPR) on inserting the row. The master table is not refreshed as it is in the 1 view.I am not manipulating the master table but it was being set to the first row the second time .Added to that the 2 view doesn't have parent table .
</p>

Hi Frank,
I am using jdev 11.1.1.6 and integrated wls.
I have a single taskflow.I have a 4 level master detail.The vo's are connected through a view link . I have dropped the first level as a table . On selecting a row the corresponding children are displayed.The children are displayed as a tree. I have a tree context menu where i have inserted a row using popup . When the user clicks on the ok dialog i am commiting the data and refreshing the tree.
Now the problem is when i first create the row it's working properly . After when i try to create another row this time the currency of the first level is reset to the first row.
As suggested by you i have tried disabling the commit opertion . But the issue still occurs.
Thanks,
Raj

Error in updating the source table in mapping

Hi All,
I have a mapping in which I am fetching records from a table A, performing some expression logic and then using a Splitter operator to update my target table Bas well as update one of the columns of my source table A(to indicate that record has been processed). When I execute the mapping, updation of target table B works, but updting my source table A does nt work and the job completes succesfully?
Can somebody please help me to debug this?
Thanks

Hi,
Please check the splitter condition for the two groups that you have set. This might be a case where you have put such a condition in splitter that all the record sets are going to the target table and none are going to the source table. Therefore the source table is not getting updated by any record.

Dynamically passing the source table name to OWB mapping

I am building a mapping wherein one of the source tables is a view. The view name varies with the time parameter I pass in. I am looking at ways to pass in the time parameter to the mapping procedure such that it first gets the view name from a table and uses that view as the source table to fetch data. Any directions?
In normal PL/SQL coding, I can first get the view name and use this view name to buld a dynamic query, which can be then executed.

This is a common question. The best way to do this is to use a synonym.
Create the synonym in the database and import into OWB. Use the synonym in your mapping. Have your mapping accept a mapping input for the table you want the synonym to point to. Setup a premapping process to re-create the synonym with the table you want to use.
Here is the procedure that I use. It defaults to a private synonym. Remember, the synonym will be created in the same schema that the mapping is deployed to.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "CAWDATA"."CREATE_SYNONYM_PRC" ("P_SYNONYM_NAME" IN VARCHAR2, "P_OBJECT_NAME" IN VARCHAR2,
"P_IS_PUBLIC_SYNONYM" IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT false) IS
BEGIN
if p_is_public_synonym = true then
execute immediate 'create or replace public synonym '|| p_synonym_name || ' for '|| p_object_name;
else
execute immediate 'create or replace synonym '|| p_synonym_name || ' for '|| p_object_name;
end if;
exception
when others
then
raise_application_error(sqlcode,sqlerrm) ;
END;

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

PO not copying across to the Billing Document from the S Order.

When creating a SOrder a PO number is entered, this is a mandatory field and SO cannot be saved until PO is entered.
Delivery is created and is GI.
When creating a billing doc the PO number has not copied acroos to the Billing doc header ref number field.
Also if you check Table VBRK and choose the billing doc and PO field to be populated then the PO is missing from view.
Can someone tell me where the billing doc gets the PO from if not from the SO or is this down to copy control.
Kind regards

Go to VTFL, select your delivery type and billing type and click on magnifying less on top left. Now you can see at the right side two fields, viz. Assignment and Reference. Check whether you have maintained the required value over there.
thanks

Best approach to delete records that are not in the source table anymore.

I have a situation where I need to remove records from dimensions that are not in the source data anymore. Right now we are not maintaing history, i.e. not using SCD but planning for the next release. If we did that it would be easy to figure the latest records. The load is nightly and records are updated and new added.
The approach that I am considering is to join the dimension tables the the sources on keys and delete what doesn't join. However, is there perhaps some function in OWB that would allow to do this automatically on import so it can be also in place for the future?
Thanks!

Bear in mind that deleting dimension records becomes problematic if you have facts attached to them. Just because this record is no longer in the active set doesn't mean that it wasn't used historically, and so have foreign key constraints on it in your database. IF this is the case, a short-term solution would be to add an expiry_date field to the dimension and update the load to set this value when the record disappears rather than to delete it.
And to do that, use the target dimension as a source table, outer join it to the actual source table on the natural key, and so your update will set expiry_date=nvl(expiry_date,sysdate) to set to sysdate if this record has not already been expired on all records where the outer join fails.
Further consideration: what do you do if the record is re-inserted into the source table? create a new dimension key? Or remove the expiry date?
But I will say that I am not a fan of deleting records in most circumstances. What do you do if you discover a calculation error and need to fix that and republish historical cubes? Without the historical data, you lose the ability to do things like that.

ITunes could not copy ''file'' because the file could not be written

Recently, I have been experiencing some problems with iTunes and my iPad 2. Whenever I try to sync movies into my iPad, I get the error message ''iTunes could not copy ''file'' because the file could not be written''. This message always appears whenever I try to sync a few movies at once. When I check my iPad after it's synced, I find that a few of my movies successfully sync into my iPad, and can be played. However, some movies show up on my iPad but cannot be played. The video thumbnail just shows a picture of a blank TV screen. Is there any way where I can fix this problem? Thanks.

Hi JimmySlax.
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps.

SSIS question - Email the results of the table in pipe delimited format to the users

I am new to SSIS and I have a requirement. I have a sales table that has transactions for all months. I am trying to automate the process which involves following steps:
I need to query the table based on previous month.
Email the results of the table in pipe delimited format to the users.
What I am currently doing:
I created a temp table and load the query results in it every month by truncating the previous month’s data. Saved the query results in excel format. Open the excel and save it in csv format. Use SSIS package to convert csv to txt format and email
them manually with the txt file name as “Salesresults_<previousmonth>.
I just want to automate this process but the main challenge comes up with email with txt attached. Please help me out.

First create a SSIS variable(@[User::Path]) that store folder path as "C:\Test".
Select the "Expression" tab in Send Mail Task Editor and select the appropriate property(FileAttachments) and assign the below expression.
@[User::Path] + "\\Salesresults_" + (DT_WSTR, 10) MONTH( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 10) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + ".txt"

ITunes could not copy "file" to the "iPhone" because the file could not....

I recently downloaded a few episodes from the iTunes store through my iPhone. All episodes worked fine until I synced my phone with my Mac. After reorganizing some music, I found that I had to place all the tv shows back into the phone. However two episodes would not sync. The error messages:
iTunes could not copy "file" to the "iPhone" because the file could not be read or written.
Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
Syncing everything else works perfectly fine. I am under the impression that these two video files are corrupt. What's strange is that they worked perfectly fine when I downloaded them directly on my iPhone. The "corrupted" videos DO play on iTunes, but they will freeze. I have to skip over that particular time in order to play the video.
So my question(s):
Are my files corrupt? How would I go about to fix this issue? Is there anyway I can place the SD versions of the videos instead the HD ones (Given that it's even possible)? I would hate to spend money again to re-download these episodes because I was provided with incomplete files.

This happens time to time with me for some reason. So frustrating there inst a better way that iTunes response to it. Once the failure to copy and the other errors come up, you have to unhook the iDevice and close and reopen iTunes. Sometimes you have to kill the application if it is hung.
Then, go into the sync settings and UNCHECK all media. Sync. Then go to the summary page and check "only sync checked songs and videos" and go to MUSIC and check ONE album. Sync. Repeat this one by one until you get the error. then uncheck the album that caused the error and repeat. Very very annoying but the only way i have gotten this to solve.

Could not copy "Trash" to the iPhone...

I'm getting the following error messages:
"iTunes could not copy "Trash" to the iPhone <user name's iPhone) because the file could not be read or written."
along with
"Attempting to copy to the disk <user name> failed. Disc could not be read from or written to."
Any suggestions?

Itunes could not copy 'song' to the ipod 'name ipod' because of an unknown error occurred (-5000)

This problem does seem pretty random, affecting just a small number of tracks. Apparently it is due to some file corruption or something... Anyway, this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2654317?start=15&tstart=0 has a couple of solutions spelled out. Basically the same thing that a-monk-at-large suggested above. (Delete and redownload the offending tracks.)

How do I create a target table with the same PK as the source table?

I am trying to create a target table in a mapping that will end up with the same primary key as the source table.
It is a simple map that simply uses a subset of the columns of the source table in the target table. I was wanting to create and bind a new table by dragging the columns I want from the source to the initially blank target table operator, change the column names and create a primary key to match the source table.
I can't seem to be able to create a constraint on the table in the mapping. I can create the constraint after the table is created and boound to the database object but the PK doesn't carry back into the mapping.
I need it in the mapping so I can use the UPDATE/INSERT operation and use the 'All Constraints' implementation. The mapping won't let me validate the object without the PK on it in the map.
Believe it or not folks, I am getting better at this.
Thanks very much for the guidance.
Gary

Hi Gary
You are close, you are really close... :-))
You need to do exactly as you propose plus one extra step. Build the map as you describe, binding the new table to the target. Then you edit the table definition to add the primary key and any other constraints you need. After this is the step that you are missing.
You need to do the following:
1. Go back and re-edit the map
2. Right click on the table
3. From the pop up menu, select Reconcile Inbound
4. Set any operators that you need for the UPDATE/INSERT
5. Save the map
6. Commit your changes
The first three steps above make the map read in the indexes and constraints that you set on the table. Finally, you need to deploy the table and then deploy the map.
Hope this helps
