Request help with different task calculation types in MSP.

How effective we can use the different calculation types provided in project management software?

Hi David,
Can you please expand on your question a little, perhaps giving an example. I'm unsure as to what you mean by Calculation Type?

[8i] Need help with some workday calculations

At the beginning of the month, I got help with a workday calculation in: [8i] Help with function with parameters (for workday calculation)
Now, as it turns out, I was able to locate a function in the database that does what I want, however, it is much slower to use the function than to join two copies of the CALN table (Please see referenced thread for details. I can copy them to this thread if necessary.) I need to verify that the pre-existing function has 'DETERMINISTIC' in it, as I would guess that if it doesn't, it would be much slower than it could be.
But now, I've come across a situation where I have to do multiple workday calculations in the same query--enough that I have to join 6 copies of my CALN table. I can't imagine that is at all efficient. I believe it was Frank K. who said (in the original thread) that if the function was slow, I should consider alternatives. Can anyone help me identify some of those alternatives? I'm definitely at that point now. (This query is one I'm using as the base for a report in Oracle BI, and let's just say it doesn't like my query, even though my syntax appears to be correct, and I would guess that joining 6 copies of one table is at least partly to blame for this).
Note: I'm working with Oracle 8i

OK, I finally have some sample data... I tried to make it thorough. I've included data in the CALN table YTD + tomorrow, so that any workday calculations using SYSDATE will work.

Hey Naimesh thanks for the reply. yeah i read that document way before and i started taking a stab at implementing it.
I started with update task to see how it behaves and then wanted to go with BGRFC tats when i had the update issue.
Now that am done with update i want to implement BGRFC.
I have modified the earlier prgm...Can you give me some ideas how to extend this? Thanks!

Help with pdf tasks

Hello,
I am trying to automate a couple of specific tasks with pdf files but I am having some trouble. At my job we are printing files to pdf but afterwards we must go back and edit the pdf files. Basically what we need to do is this (in order):
1) Rotate the first 'one to three' pages. The first page(s) need to be rotated counterclockwise but it can be 1-3 pages that need this. All we know is that they always appear first. These pages are very similiar in content so I was thinking about making the program search for a keyword common to those pages then rotate it if it finds that keyword. That way we can ensure that its only rotating the pages which need to be rotated.
2) The last 3 pages of the document need to be moved to the top. These documents vary in number of pages so I cant just tell the program to move certain pages numbers to the top. All we know is that its always the last 3 pages of any document that need to be moved to the top. Also, just for clarification is another way to reorder pages in Acrobat besides dragging them with the mouse?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Fazal

Both of these could be implemented using JavaScript, perhaps using a batch sequence. #2 is easy, and #1 may or may not be possible/reliable based on the actual content of the document.
For #1, a script is able to loop through the words on a page to search for one or more words. If found, it can look at the position of the word on the page, and if it meets the position criteria, use the setPageRotations document method to rotate the page.
For #2, just use the movePage document method to move the last three pages.
If you need help with the code, consider posting in the Acrobat Scripting forum. Include more information for #1 if you do.

Help with PDF Javascript calculation involving checkboxes

Hello Everyone,
I have a PDF Form, and need help with a calculation.
For the sake of simplicity, Lets say I have 5 fields. FSA1 and FSA2 are checkboxes. TotalClaimed1 and TotalClaimed2 are text fields which allow only a numerical input.
The last box, FSA_Total, should add the value from TotalClaimed1 if FSA1 is checked, and it should also add the value from TotalClaimed2 if FSA2 is checked.
The code is malfunctioning, however. Something is causing it to add to the total every time the box is checked. Its almost like the checking off of the box is what causes the addition.
It seems like the code is being read as "When the box is checked, add the value to the total", so each time the box gets checked, it adds to the total again.
and it should be "IF the box is checked, add the value to the total" so if there is a value in the field, and the box is checked, that value is passed on to the total; and if the box is not checked, the value is ignored.
Can anyone spot what might be causing this? Code is below.
var claim1 = parseInt(this.getField('TotalClaimed1').value),
    claim2 = parseInt(this.getField('TotalClaimed2').value),
    fsabox = parseInt(this.getField('FSA_Total').value);
if (this.getField('FSA1').value == 'Yes') {
    fsabox += claim1;
if (this.getField('FSA2').value == 'Yes') {
    fsabox += claim2;
event.value = fsabox;
Thanks

This is a custom calculation script for FSA_Total, correct? The code is working correctly, it's just not what you want. Assuming this is a custom calculation script in the FSA_Total field, it should be something like:
var sum = 0;
var claim1 = parseInt(getField('TotalClaimed1').value, 10),
    claim2 = parseInt(getField('TotalClaimed2').value, 10),
// Add field values if corresponding check boxes are selected
if (getField('FSA1').value !== "Off") {
    sum += claim1;
if (getField('FSA2').value !== "Off") {
    sum += claim2;
// Set this field value
event.value = sum;
Why are you using parseInt, exactly?

Need some help with a task, constructors.

Hi there, I've got this task here, and I was wondering if someone could help me out. I wan't to know if my code is answering my task.
The task:
BlueJ casino in Las Vegas has given you this task to create a class where they can register their players. You should create a new project and a class called Player. The purpose with this task is that player information could be captured to a secure object and that it couldn't be changed arbitrary.
The class Player should therefore contain the private fields 'firstname', 'lastname' and 'credits'.
The official methods that player should define, does the following:
- setFirstname: Sets the first name to the player
- getFirstname: Returns the first name to the player
- setLastname: Sets the last name to the player
- getLastname: Returns the last name to the player
- addCredits: Adds the player's credits to a given amount
- getCredits: Returns the player's credits.
- validPlayer: Checks if the player credits is higher greater zero, with an if sentence. If it is greater, it should return 'true', otherwise, it should return 'false'.
- print: Prints the player information to the terminal window (with System.out.println).
The class Player should also have a constructor that gets two arguments/current parameters to initialize the Player object:
- A text string that represents the player's first name.
- A text string that represents the player's last name.
- The constructor should also set the player's credits to 100.
My code so far:
public class Player {
    private String firstname;
    private String lastname;
    private int credits;
    public Player(String firstname, String lastname, int credits) {
       this.firstname = "";
       this.lastname = "";
       this.credits = 100;
    public void setFirstname(String name) {
        firstname = name;
    public String getFirstname() {
        return firstname;
    public void setLastname(String name) {
        lastname = name;
    public String getLastname() {
        return lastname;
    public void addCredits(int amount) {
        credits = credits + amount;
    public int getCredits() {
        return credits;
    public boolean validPlayer() {
        if(getCredits() > 0){
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
    public void print() {
        System.out.println("PLAYER INFORMATION:");
        System.out.println("First name: " + getFirstname());
        System.out.println("Last name: " + getLastname());
        System.out.println("Credit: " + getCredits());
        System.out.println("-------------------");
}Please give me some help here, and please show me some code! Thanks for any help!

Thanks again.
What about this?public class Player {
    private String firstname;
    private String lastname;
    private int credits;
    public Player(String firstname, String lastname) {
       this.firstname = firstname;
       this.lastname = lastname;
       this.credits = 100;
    public void setFirstname(String name) {
        firstname = name;
    public String getFirstname() {
        return firstname;
    public void setLastname(String name) {
        lastname = name;
    public String getLastname() {
        return lastname;
    public void addCredits(int amount) {
        credits = credits + amount;
    public int getCredits() {
        return credits;
    public boolean validPlayer() {
        if(getCredits() > 0){
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
    public void print() {
        System.out.println("PLAYER INFORMATION:");
        System.out.println("First name: " + getFirstname());
        System.out.println("Last name: " + getLastname());
        System.out.println("Credit: " + getCredits());
        System.out.println("-------------------");
}Edit: Oh, yeah - could I write the addCredits() like this?    public void addCredits(int amount) {
        amount+=credits;

Receipts with Different Task other than mentioned in PO

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to receive the PO Line with a different task which was mentioned in PO using ROI.
Can anyone has any idea about it.
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
It is not allowed to receive against different task.
Alternate approach: Receive the PO in the respective project and task and then perform "Project Transfer" transaction to transfer the stock to intended task.
I am assuming "Oracle Project Manufacturing (PJM)" is enabled in your Inventory Organization.
Thanks,

Next while starting to install Informatica PowerCenter 7.1.4 it asks product license key. Please help to know where to get this key? Also please help with any connectivity and options key, as well as those for any other products, related to this objective.
Many thanks,

Hi RAJC,
Many thanks for the suggestion. I have moved past that aspect now with this help. Have also verified that everything is working well with BI server, presentation services, scheduler server etc. Admin tool works fine.
But have difficulty connecting DAC client to the database. The login window does not bring up option to select suitable driver for connecting to Oracle Database 10.2.0.x Also, wonder what table owner name and pw will work here? are they the same as those for schema owner? that is sh.rpd etc? The BI apps version is 7.9 and BIEE is 10.1.3.3

MS Project 2007 - Help with custom field calculation for grouped by dates view

Hello
I am trying to creat a view that counts number of students in courses (while # Students is a custom field that is filled manually and courses are tasks).
The view should be grouped by Quarters, Months, and weeks (Calculated custom Text fields)
The weeks groups are displayed by the start day of each week.
For example:
The view counts how many students are in courses in a specific week/month/quarter.
This is the group by definition:
Those are the fields calculations:
“WW_Start” field calculation:
(Year([Start]) & " W " & Format([Start],"WW") & " " & "   [" & Datevalue(ProjDateSub([Start],CStr(Weekday([Start])-1),"Standard")) & "]")
“MM” field calculation:
Year([Start]) & " M " & Format([Start],"MM")
Basically it works but it doesn't cover a situation where a course is more then a week.
Lets say that the duration of the task is 12 days, the task should appear on 3 different weeks groups.
But what i did puts the tasks only in the group that shows the first week of the task.
How can i change my calculations or my view so that in the second, and third week of the task it will also show the task and it's attributes.
For example:
- "UV5 ACM" task should also be in W 45 not just W 44.
Anyone has an idea how to do that?
Ofir Marco , MCTS P.Z. Projects

Hi
First, thanks for the comment "nice neat groups" :)
I think you understood correctly what is my issue.
Second, about your question: the class have the same number of students during the course period.
It will have 10 students even if the duration is 1 day or 10 days.
if you look at the basic gantt chart you will see a row like this:
Task name        Duration        Num_Students     Resource names (Instructors)
Course YYY       10d                10
Instructor X
it is an attribute on the task, not the assiment.
When i group by dates (Weeks, months, quarters) or by another field (can be course type for example) i the students are summed in the task summary level for all tasks.
Lets say i group by all the tasks (Classes) that are in the 1st quarter, and lets say for the example that there are 3:
Task 1 --> 5 students
Task 2 --> 10 students
Task 3 --> 7 students
Then, the group by summary should count:
Quarter 1 - 2014:   22 (students)
Task 1 --> 5
Task 2 --> 10
Task 3 --> 7
By the way, it doesn't matter if the version is project 2007,2010, 2013, the logic is the same.
Hope it helps and i'll be glad to have some ideas or evan get examples for solution in a project file by e-mail.

Need help with different link styles on same page

Hello,
I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a PC.
I have searched through a lot of posts over the last couple of days, I've tried the projectseven.com tutorial, google'd, etc. but still can't figure it out.....
All I want to do is apply a different link colour to some links in the footer of my page. Elsewhere through the site I have set the colour to blue (for the link) and orange (for the hover) - for the footer links I want the link to be white and the hover colour to stay orange.
The problem with the projectseven tutorial is that it doesn't seem to apply to CS4 and I kept getting error messages when trying to apply a new CSS rule - there's no Class|Tag|Advanced options as per the instructions ....
I've copied the code of my page to this. The links which I want to apply a different style to are contained in the Div Tag called "Footer-Navigation-Bar" .
Could someone please give me some instructions or point me in the right direction please??

The links which I want to apply a different style to are contained in the Div Tag called "Footer-Navigation-Bar" .
a:link {
color: #30C;
text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
color: #F30;
text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
Hello
You can see above the CSS that applies to your links. If you have links that you want to style in a diferent way, just write the rule Like this:
#Footer-Navigation-Bar a:link {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
Or whatever. There are other ways but this will do you as you already have those links you want styled differently in a div with its own ID. The new rule should come after the other rules in your CSS I think to make sure of the cascade although thinking about it, there's something called specificity in CSS which means that the rule that I suggest will win out anyway. All that you are doing in my suggestion is selecting the a:link that is a descendant of an element with that particular ID.
I hope that helps. I'm a bit of a novice and might have got a bit jumbled with the cascade/specficity thing but hey, I reckon that will get you where you want to go....
Martin.
