Returing date using Fast Formula

Hi
I need to return the payroll process end date to an element input value.
I wrote a very simple formula
ALIAS RADIANT_OTL_REGULAR_HOUR_HOURS_ENTRY_VALUE AS HOURS
default for PAY_PROC_PERIOD_END_DATE is '0001/01/01 00:00:00'(date)
DEFAULT FOR HOURS IS 0
INPUTS ARE HRS,TOT_ACCRUAL , PAY_DATE (DATE)
HRS=HOURS
PAY_DATE = PAY_PROC_PERIOD_END_DATE
TOT_ACCRUAL = HRS*(1.54/40)
RETURN TOT_ACCRUAL, PAY_DATE
But when the element is processed the date is not being returned
Please correct my formula if i need to change anything
Thanks
Regards
Ramesh Kumar S

Hi
I'll Explain again what actually i am trying to achieve.
From the OTL we will get the time card Entries.We are getting the number of hours from the time card and calculating the Accrual hours(AC_HRS) from the number of hours input from the time card.
Then i am trying to pass the ACC_HRS and Pay Proc End date to an element input value which is attached to the Accrual Plan in the Net Calculation rule.So hat accrual hrs will be added to the Accrual Hrs
Simple saying i need to calculate the Accrual hrs from the time card input
This particular element i am attaching manually and the time card details flows from OTL through the BEE
Please advice
Regards

Custom Employee Number Generation Using Fast Formulas

Hi,
I have a requirement to generate custom employee numbers like "EMP100001". we have already created a business group with the setting of Employee number generation as Automatic. but we need to generate custom employee number as Format given above instead of automatic number generation.
I have created my own PL/SQL Package to generate custom employee number as per Person Type. Also created a Fast Formula Function with the following parameters -
Name = Get_Custom_Number
Data Type = Text
Class = External Funtion
Alias Name = NULL or what you want the alias to be
Description = Returns the next custom number value
Definition = CUSTOM_EMP_NUMBER_GENERATION.Get_Custom_Number (PL/SQL Function)
Proving the following Context usages and Parameters details to the Fast Formula Function -
Context usages:-
Number = 1
Context Name = BUSINESS_GROUP_ID
Data Type = Number
Parameters as defined in PL/SQL function
1 p_legislation_code Text Input Only
2 p_person_type Text Input Only
3 p_person_number Text Input Only
4 p_party_id Number Input Only
5 p_person_id Number Input Only
6 p_national_id Text Input Only
7 p_date_of_birth Date Input Only
Than i created a Fast Formula using the following navigation
Total Compensation > Basic > Write Formula
with following details -
Name = EMP_NUMBER_GENERATION
Type = Person Number Generation
Description = Returns next Employee number
and wrote my formula code.
When i created a Employee from Enter and Maintain People screen it is showing automatic number instead of my custom employee number.
I m not able to find where i m missing the logic or some parameters?
If anyone has come across such situation, please provide some pointers here.
Thanks

How to get field data using a formula

I have a table with fields ‘pension contribution’ and ‘current year’.The first field stores a single record for a given year.Say if ‘current year’ is 2014 ‘pension contribution’ is 7% and so on.
I wanted to get a result by providing a certain year from another field in a table using a formula.
How do I do this?An explanation would be helpful.

Hi Nebil,
You can't! You'll need to join the the two tables or use a Subreport.

How can I convert from Modbus raw data to engineering units using a formula?

Within Lookout, I have several Modbus numerical input types that do not have a linear corespondence to the Engineering values they represent. How can I display these values accurately using a formula to convert from the raw data to an engineering value?

I don't quite understand your reply. I'm using Lookout 6.0.2, logged in as Administrator, in Edit Mode. The Modbus object is named RTU06_SAV. The Active member is 30002 with an alias of SAVfmSMT_RSL.
Following your instructions, I opened Object Explorer and right-clicked on RTU06_SAV.
This opened a menu containing: Refresh, Cut, Copy, Rename, Delete, Edit connections..., Edit Data Member Configuration, Configure Network Security and Properties.
I assumed that I should select Edit Data Member Configuration, but maybe I'm wrong.
Within Data Member Configuration I can set up Linear Scaling between Raw data and Engineering data. I know how to do that, but what I need to know is how to convert Raw data to Engineering data using a formula representing a non-linear transformation (such as a converion to a logarithmic value or perhaps a formula derived by fitting the formula to a curve on a calibration chart).
Once I have this my Engineering data can be represented on a control panel as both a numeric value AND as a correctly reading Gauge. It can also be properly represented on a HyperTrend graph.
What do you suggest?

Using Oracle Fast Formula in Discoverer

Hello,
Does anyone have any experience of using Fast Formula in Discoverer - can it be called from a PL/SQL function that would then be registered in the usual way in Discoverer?
Thanks
Rachael

Hi,
Yes, you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.

How to use DFF value in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION Fast formula

Hi All,
I would like to know how can we use DFF values in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION fast formula.
Can we pass them as input values?
Also, when we use them as DATABASE ITEMS how does Fast Formula identifies them.
For example I have created a DFF value HALF_DAY that can take either "YES" nor "NO".
I tried to use that as input value but that didnt work, not sure if it is possible at all or not.
I also tried to use that as Data Base ITEM, as follows:-
IF (ABSENCES_HALF_DAY WAS DEFAULTED ) then
duration = 'FAILED'
invalid_msg = 'DFF not working'
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Avinash
but i am getting following error when i access SSHR
Formula BG_ABSENCE_DURATION: ORA-01403: no data found ORA-01403: no data found Cause: During the PL/SQL execution part, an Oracle error was detected. Action: Please refer to your system administrator.

Thanks Vigneswar and Avaneesh for your helpful comments,
Actually I want to retrive the DFF value that I pass while applying the Leave Request and not that already stored in the data base. I checked and found that the query you have mentioned is retriving the data from base tables.
select target.ATTRIBUTE6 -- Attrinute6 is database item ABSENCES_HALF_DAY+
from    per_absence_attendances                target,+
per_all_assignments_f                  ASSIGN+
WHERE   sysdate BETWEEN ASSIGN.effective_start_date+
AND ASSIGN.effective_end_date+
AND    ASSIGN.assignment_id                  = 647--&B2+
AND    ASSIGN.assignment_type                = 'E'+
AND    target.person_id                      = ASSIGN.person_id+
AND    target.absence_attendance_id =+
*(select max (absence_attendance_id)*
from   per_absence_attendances+
where person_id   = ASSIGN.person_id+
and    date_start <= sysdate+
I have only added folloing lines In my BG_ABSENCE_DURATION FF
DEFAULT FOR ABSENCES_HALF_DAY is 'XX'+
if (1 = 1) then+
duration = 'FAILED'+
invalid_msg = 'DFF not working: '+ABSENCES_HALF_DAY+
But evry time output is *"DFF not working : Yes"* no matter what the value I am passing while applying leave. This value "Yes" is stored in DFF attribute 6 for the test employee and I guess FF is retriving this value from DATABSE not from current transaction.
Could you please help how to retrive run time data.
Thanks,
Avinash

How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
for this].
also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
any quick answers greatly appreciate..
thx,

Hi,
That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.

Using Dimension Formulas to sum data based on different criteria

Hi all,
I am trying to use a u201CDimension Formulau201D to perform the following calculation:
We have an account dimension which has 2 important properties:
1.     CRITERIUMTYPE: This property can have 3 different values: u201CWERKu201D, u201CINVu201D OR u201CLIQu201D
2.     ACCTYPE: This property can have 2 different values: u201CEXPu201D or u201CINCu201D
The client wants to have a report that sums data based on these 2 properties. An example will help to clarify this:
ACCOUNTS     CRITERIUMTYPE     ACCTYPE     VALUE
ACCOUNT A         WERK                          EXP               100 u20AC
ACCOUNT B         WERK                          INC               150 u20AC
ACCOUNT C         WERK                          EXP               200 u20AC
ACCOUNT D         WERK                          INC               300 u20AC
ACCOUNT E         INV                          EXP               50 u20AC
ACCOUNT F         INV                          INC               100 u20AC
ACCOUNT G         INV                          EXP               200 u20AC
ACCOUNT H         INV                          INC               500 u20AC
The clients wishes to see this data in the following way:
CRITERIUMTYPE     ACCTYPE     VALUE
   WERK                         EXP              300 u20AC
                                    INC              450 u20AC
   INV                         EXP              250 u20AC
                                 INC              600 u20AC
In order to achieve this I have created several new accounts, one for each combination e.g.: Account WERKEXP is used to sum the data on the combination CRITERIUMTYPE=WERK and ACCTYPE=EXP. I have created a dimension formula in my account dimension but this is where I am stuck. I have created the following formula to calculate the account WERKEXP:
IIF([BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("ACCTYPE")="EXP",IIF([BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("CRITERIUMTYPE")="WERK",[BUDGETPOSITIE].CURRENTMEMBER,0),0)
The problem with this formula is the following:
The formula will add all amounts that meet the 2 criteria mentioned in the formula, EXP and WERK, but as soon as it finds an accounts that does not match the 2 criteria it will set the account WERKEXP back to 0. I need to know if there is a way, using dimension formulas, of adding these values together without the new account being set to 0 as soon as one of the accounts it needs to check does not meet 1 of the 2 criteria.
We are working on SAP BPC 7.5 for NW with SP04
All help is very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Stefano

Hi,
You can also use ParentHn property to have different grouping of accounts within the dimension.
So in your case rather using the member formula you can have four accounts and add them in the Parenthn property for grouping it.
1. The Solution proposed by Nilanjan is specific for a Report/IS and Performance will be good
2. My solution will be global something similar to MDX formula, but performance may be slightly lesser than using excel function.
Hope this helps,

Is Add_Months allowed in a Fast Formula?

Hi
Im trying to add the following to the carry over fast formula.
: Mid_Month_DDMM = to_char(to_date(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(Continuous_Service_Date, +1),'YYYYMM'),'YYYYMM')-1,'DDMM')
But it seems the formula does not like the "Add_months". Im trying to get the formula to work that when an employees continuous_service_date is not the 1st of the Month the carry over will happen at the end of the month.
Thanks
Andrew

The logic is as follows
Every 12 months employees forfiet their leave and carry over any balance.
From the PTO_CARRY_OVER with abit of customisation
IF ISNULL(OverrideHireDate) = 'Y'
THEN
Continuous_Service_Date = Continuous_Service_Date
ELSE
Continuous_Service_Date = OverrideHireDate
Ann_Date_DDMM = to_char(Continuous_Service_Date,'DDMM') /* ----Put this check to make sure 2902 is not concatenated to a non-leap YYYY ------ */
IF Ann_Date_DDMM = '2902' THEN
Anniversary_Date = to_date('0103' || to_char(Calculation_Date,'YYYY'),'DDMMYYYY')
ELSE
Anniversary_Date = to_date(Ann_Date_DDMM || to_char(Calculation_Date,'YYYY'),'DDMMYYYY')
**Anniversary_Date = to_date('01' || to_char(Anniversary_Date, 'MMYYYY'), 'DDMMYYYY')**
The last line makes sure that everyone no matter when you started has their forfieture date on the 1st of their anniversary month.
I want to us the logic that if your Ann_Date_DDMM does not equal 0101,0102,0103,0104,0105,0106,0107,0108,0109,0110,0111,0112
then your Anniversary date is the end of the anniversay month.
So hence my code of : to_char(to_date(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(Continuous_Service_Date, +1),'YYYYMM'),'YYYYMM')-1,'DDMM') that if working will concatinate with to_char(Calculation_Date,'YYYY'),
So for exampble. My anniversay date is the 13-May-2002.
On the 13-May-2013 the process is run to work out my forfieture-carryover for the 14th. But now the company wants me to only forfeit on the 31-May-2013
Calculation_Date = 13-May-2013 but with to_char(Calculation_Date,'YYYY') I get just the 2013 out.
the code to_char(to_date(to_char(ADD_MONTHS(Continuous_Service_Date, +1),'YYYYMM'),'YYYYMM')-1,'DDMM') should return (and it does in SQL developer) 3105. Concatinated its 31052013 , that would be my new forfeiture - carry over date.
So would be great to get the add_months working in the formula itself. Else if you can tell me where I can find the code for the seeded Continuous_Service_date then I can do the add_months in the package for the function.
Below is the full Formula:
/* Default Statements */

Error in Fast Formula for Supplemental Earnings Elements

Hi,
I have an requirement in Supplement Earning Elements for US Localization. I need to define some Supplement Earning Elements that should comes in Payroll with the extension of existing Elements.
Here are the Steps for setups which i have done so far-
Step 1:Created new Elements with their values with effective dates for existing user Table name
Step 2:Done the setup for New Elements with classification as Supplemental and Category also attached the formula like "FLAT AMOUNT" formula for Calculation rule in Element Earning screen.
Step 3: when i tried to query for the element i have created, the value in Calculation Field is "Elementname_FLAT_AMOUNT_RWSI" which is not same for the existing elements.Existing Element which is of same classification and same category the Calculation rule field is "ElementName_FLAT_AMOUNT".
Step 4: After that i did setup for Element Description and Element Link.
Step 5: Then i have copied the Formula from Existing element(which is previously configured and working fine for the existing elements ), made the modifications for the newly created element. When Compiling the formula ,i am getting an Error "Incorrect Data type"
I have two queries -
1- The setup in Earnings Screen with Calculation Rule is correct or not. As the Calculation Field for newly elements and the existing elements are different (as mentioned in Step 3).
2- Compilation Error "Incorrect Data Types" in Fast Formula.(as mentioned in Step 5).

Can anyone help me in solving this problem. Any kind of pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
Pradeep.

Hi Pradeep,
Hope you created the new element using the 'Earnings Template' form. If it is created using the 'Earnings Template' form then the calculation rule
should be correct. You said you are modifying the new element formula by using the existing element formula code, have you checked if the
formula code to the old and new once have changed anything other than the element name and standard input elements reference. Try to use
the debug messages in formula and see if that give you any clue. You should find the document in metalink how to debug a formula.
Thanks,
Satin

INPUTS ARE resource_id (number)
, submission_date (text)these inputs are passed in PLSQL Code and some of them in formula context

Network based and a-gps, data use tests

i was trying to find this kind of info, but only found others asking.
i hope this is useful info for others, especially while roaming.
skip to the bottom for conclusion,
this is the process i took:
i called nokia tech support,
their phone support his horrible,
the people on the phone don't actually know anything, and have to look up everything you ask them.
they were the worst.
i emailed nokia tech support.
my message was:
"i would like to know the difference between assisted gps positioning, and network based positioning. these are 2 of the 4 options on my nokia e66 for positioning methods. i would like to know if network based positioning uses internet data from my service provider to obtain my gps position. i am especially concerned with this function while i'm roaming internationally, as i do not want to be charged for roaming data use."
in about half hour they responded w/ an answer, and then 45 min after that someone else responded w/ an answer.
the first response, minus the hello's etc. was:
"In response to your email, Assisted GPS and Network Based positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic so you will be charged for data use. Only "normal" GPS and Bluetooth GPS do not generate additional costs related to data traffic.
Normal GPS is quite slow and does not work indoors. Therefore, it is recommended to enable at least A-GPS to get a faster position outdoors.
Network based and Wi-Fi positioning also allow you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation."
the 2nd response was:
"In response to your inquiry, the difference between Assisted GPS positioning (A-GPS) and Network based positioning is that, A-GPS uses satellites while Network based positioning is based on information of your cellular network environment. It allows you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation. Both positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic (unless you have configured the device to use Wi-Fi connection to make the internet connection). The cost may vary while you are on roaming. Kindly contact the service provider for information about data transmission costs."
i can also respond w/ more questions, but instead did some tests, starting with sitting home, indoors, and eventualy moving to a window w/ lots of sky.
test 1:
i enabled:
integrated gps
network based
assisted gps
opened maps,
set maps to be offline,
set default internet access point to my home wlan network,
closed maps,
cleared all counters and the log on the phone's communication log.
opened maps
there is a pink circle around the area i may be in,
the icon that would show gps satellite strength, changes to show the cell phone antenna icon.
but the packet data counter is sending/receiving a total of around 3-8kb immediately, and over the course of time, it keeps adding up, every 1-2 minutes, and it is shown as packet data to/from the access point "at&t internet"
over the course of ten minutes, it's been about 43kb.
and i can tell on the phone's home screen that the packet data connection becomes active when it does.
the maps kb indicator still says 0.0kb, with a line through the double arrow packet data symbol.
test 2:
now i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs
i turned off a-gps.
enabled only integrated gps and network based.
i open maps,
the same thing is happening as with the assisted gps on, except i connected to my home wlan once, in the middle of connecting to at&t internet 10 or so times.
everything else is happening the same.
test 3:
i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs.
enabled only integrated gps.
i open maps, and there is no evidence of packet data connection, or wlan connection.
nothing is showing up in the logs or packet counters, and there is no pink circle around where i may be.
if i set maps to go online, w/ my wlan as the access point, or at&t internet, their respective icons show up on maps, as well as the phone's home screen.
the phone's log show respective connections are made but w/ 0.0kb, and the phone's packet counter, as well as the maps kb usage, say 0.0kb.
test 4:
set maps to offline, w/ my wlan as access point.
exited maps,
turned phone off for a bit to test gps from cold start.
turned on phone,
cleared counters/logs,
enabled only assisted gps and integrated gps.
open maps, there's no pink circle around where i may be, just the red dot of where it thought i last was.
there's about 4-5kb of data transfer,
then i bring the phone to the window where there's a lot of clear sky, and my location is found pretty fast.
i know that w/o assisted gps, w/ only integrated gps, it takes a while to get the gps signals.
i went back and forth to/from the window, and there was packet data use again only once more, not continuously like w/ network based positioning.
so to conclude my tests,
setting the maps to be offline, still uses a-gps and network based positioning.
network based uses a more data, continuously,
which is the opposite of what i thought, i thought a-gps would use more, so i was using network based on and a-gps off while in canada. whoops.
using assisted gps uses about 5-10kb, which, when roaming, according to at&t, they charge 1.95cents/kb.
might be worthwhile for getting a quick gps signal, nothing worse than waiting forever for it to connect.
the only way to be completely clear of data use is disable network based and assisted gps, or set the phone to offline mode.

A-GPS: This uses information from cell network to get a rough idea of where you are. It then uses this information to figure out which satellites to look for. Result is a faster satellite lock. So A-GPS uses a few kB of data to get an initial position, but navigation is done using GPS satellites, which does not require ANY data connection.
Network based: This uses information from the cell network to plot the current position when GPS satellite signal is not available, ie indoors, in a tunnel, etc. Position info derived from the cell network is not as accurate as that from GPS satellites, but serves as a stopgap until GPS signal can be re-acquired. Network based positioning used your data connection EACH TIME the satellite lock is lost. So the amount of data used is dependent on the quality of access you have to the GPS satellites. If you don't lose the connection to the GPS satellites, then you won't use any data.
The ‘offline’ option within the Nokia Maps app only refers to street, POI, etc searches, NOT to A-GPS, Network based positioning or to connecting with the GPS satellites.
If you want to navigate without using ANY data connection, set A-GPS off AND set Network based positioning off AND set the Internet option in Nokia Maps to Offline. Do this and you will not use any of your data connection allowance when navigating. There is no need to put the phone into flight mode.

Error while sending the data using input schedule

Dear Friends,
I am unable to send the data using input schedule due to following error is occur while sending the data.
The Error Message : Member (H1) of dimension (ENTITY) is not a base member (parent or formula)
Can anyone please help me to resolve the above error.
Thanks and regards,
MD.

Hi,
You are trying to send data to a parent/node, you can only send data in BPC to lowest-level children (base mamabers) of any dimension.
"H1" is a parent in the entity dimension so you should try sending to a child.
Tom.
