Row Merging Issue

Hi,
I have a requirement from a customer that i'm having trouble building.
The customer has a basic template with a table and some conditional formatting.
However, one of the columns data merges over a few rows.
Basically, the data is identical on each of those rows, so the cells are merged vertically.
I have seen an example of this scenario (see link).
However i cant see any downloads/explanations on how to build this
http://winrichman.blogspot.com/2008/08/row-spanning.html#links
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Kevin
(Note: Im not looking to merge across but down)

Hi,
I'm currently trying to create a proof of concept for the customer using emp name and surname and department (trying to merge department). I've emailed you the XML and the template output i need to build
Thanks
Kevin

Row merging to create a group by

Hi all!
I'm sure what I'm trying to achieve is simple but seem unable to do it. All I want to do in a word template is to have the first column span vertically a couple of rows. For instance:
DEPT------|-----EMP_
Accounts----|--Fred
---------------|--Bill
---------------|--Barney
Sales --------|--Keley
---------------|--Bob
Dev----------|--John
---------------|--Edmund
Etc....
I've seen a couple of posts (like: Row Merging Issue ) but no correct answers.
Is it impossible? I would really like to know.
Many thanks,
Darren.

Hi Nishka,
Thanks for your response, I think I should have made myself a bit clearer in my original question, I can make a template to display the information as your answer suggests however it looks horrible! Word draws it as literally a table in a table complete with headers and gaps around them.
What I would like is a table that would display in column one just the departments then in column two the employees.
How do I change the template to show this?
Thanks,
Darren

Row chaining issue in Oracle 10g

Hello All,
I was seeing row chaining issue in one of our production DB. Row chaining was present in all tables having LONG RAW columns.
As of now I am not supposed to change these to BLOB/CLOB, so I did exp/imp to solve the issue. However, we are repeating this excercise once every quarter, and now it is time we put a permanent fix to it.
One of such tables has below storage parameters:
PCTUSED    0
PCTFREE    10
INITRANS   1
MAXTRANS   255
STORAGE    (
            INITIAL          40K
            MINEXTENTS       1
            MAXEXTENTS       UNLIMITED
            PCTINCREASE      0
            BUFFER_POOL      DEFAULT
           )Can I be advised what would be the tuning options in above? Note: All of these tables are in GB's.
For any inputs, please let me know.
Thanks,

I have a dynamic table that calculates the sum of all rows, no issue. I'm struggling with pulling out a subtotal though. I would like to have a check box in each row that flags those rows and gives the sum of their total. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's something I threw together rq. The script is in the change event for the checkbox in the table. (Of course, you'll have to modify it to suit the names of your fields.)
var rows = xfa.resolveNodes("tblAmounts.Row1[*]");
var subtotal=0;
for (i=0; i<rows.length; i++) if (rows.item(i).cbAdd.rawValue == 1) subtotal = subtotal + rows.item(i).nfAmount.rawValue;
nfSubtotal.rawVlaue=subtotal;

Row Height Issue

Oh Hi I have selected Optimize height by row content from Table and font tab and it shows all my text in activity name but when i saved the layout it changes back to keep current rows heights. Can any one tell me how do i fix this
Thanks in Advanced

*793199 ,*
The "Row Height" issue is a common problem. Some things that affect my row height are:
* Not saving my layout after changing row height
* Notebook items in the gantt chart affecting the row height and may have to be manually widened to display all of the text or symbols
Row Height*
Optimize height by row content:* Indicates you want each row's height determined by its content. If you choose this option, type or select the maximum number of lines that should be included in each row.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Long lasting Workspaces with many Rows, Merging and Locks

Hi all!
We sucessfully implemented a solution using Oracle Workspace Manager combined with Oracle Locator (Spatial). The present version of our product uses Workspace Manager to enbale "private working areas" for the users. They can edit data in this areas (workspaces), goto savepoints (undo) and merge their work with the live-data. The live-data meanwhile is locked for other users.
Our current workspaces have a short lifetime and contain about 100-200 versioned datarows. A merge operation takes about 5 to 10 seconds.
We are planing to enhance our system in terms of long time planing situations. The user will be able to edit a project (workspace) and keep his editings for a long time. So what we will have are:
- Workspaces that exist for a long time and
- Workspaces that include thousands of versioned rows.
Any experience with this kind of Workspace Manager usage? What about the merging performance? Do merging or refesh operations block each other? Which locks are set? Unfortunately I can't find any hints in the documentation.
Please help, any opinions welcome!
Thanx,
Nothi

Hi,
This is a common usage for Workspace Manager, so since you already have a working solution you should not have any issues when using workspaces that exist for a long period of time. In terms of the actual performance, it would be dependent on the number of rows being merged, the total size of the base table among other things, etc and so I will not be able to exactly qualify the difference between your two cases.
You can merge and refresh unrelated workspace simultaneously. However, if you are merging and refreshing the same workspace or its parent at the same time, locks will needed to be taken to guarantee the validity of the data. If you are running into locking issues, you may be able to use the row_level_locking system parameter, depending on your exact situation.
Without changing the value of this system parameter(default is false/off), a MergeWorkspace will acquire exclusive locks on the parent and child workspaces, while a RefreshWorkspace will also acquire an exclusive lock on the parent and a shared lock on the child. After setting row_level_locking to true, the child workspace locks will remain the same, but the parent workspace lock for either MergeWorkspace or RefreshWorkspace will become a shared lock along with the necessary row locks needed by the Merge operation.
Hope this helps.

InDesign Data Merge Issues...

Hey all, I'm relatively new to using InDesign, I've used it previously for basic artwork layouts etc, and I'm familiar with Illustrator and Photoshop, but InDesign is something I'm still getting to grips with.
I run a mailing company and we have an ongoing requirement for variable data merging. Software designed for variable data work when dealing with PDFs and high res images is incredibly expensive, and so I figured I could try and make use of InDesign's own data merging feature.
Now I'm fully aware of some of the irritating little issues surrounding this tool, such as the way if you've got two blank fields it only removes one of them, and I also know it used to have an issue where it would pull data through from the next record to replace blanks, but I don't see that happening any more.
There are lots of webpages and forums discussing the blank fields problem, but my problem is currently something else.
I've noticed that some of the fields often don't like to display anything other than the header row, the field name. You drop the field onto the page and create your merge, but when you preview it or publish it whilst most of the fields do as expected and change to show the data, some of the fields do not, they just continue to show <contact> for instance, rather than a name.
I'm at a loss to explain this really, it's not even particularly consistent.
As an example of my problem, I laid out the following address block
<Contact>
<Add1>
<Add2>
<Add3>
<Add4>
<Add5>
<Postcode>
What I get sometimes is this...
<Contact>
123 Sample Street
Sample Town
Sample County
Sample Postcode
Or...
Mr AB Sample
123 Sample Street
Sample Town
<Add3>
Sample Postcode
If you add the same field again beneath the one that is playing up, the new field will work, but the one beneath it will then play up, so where in the example above it is <Add3> that isn't merging, if I added another <add3> beneath it, I could almost guarantee that <Add4> would then play up.
I just don't understand it, and it's frustrating me immensely.
Ironically I know a local professional printers who are using InDesign for all their digital variable print runs, without issue, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. They are using Macs whereas I am using a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x 64bit, but I've had the same problem on other Windows version, so is it a Windows related problem, or are Mac users just not spotting this??
Anyone who has ever experienced something similar and perhaps found a solution, please help!!!!!
Best Regards
Richard

RikRamsay14 - thank you for your response, the issue regarding blanks isn't really the concern here, I'm aware of this issue, and the remove blank lines works where this is only one blank field, if there's two blank fields then it only seems to remove one. But I can happily work around this by just shifting all my data across. The data source is fine and is not the problem.
Peter Spier - Many thanks for your reply Peter, I thought you might be on to something with this, so I tried opening it from scratch and merging instantly without the use of any previewing, at first I thought it had worked, but when I got further down the merge results I spotted the same problem, field headers appearing where content should be. These instances are not even where the data cell is blank, it just decides not to display the content, but to display the field header instead, it's inconsistent too so it's really hard to analyse to find a pattern.
My layout incorporates multiple text placeholders containing multiple variable fields. I am starting to wonder if this could be contributing to the fault. I have tried just creating one text placeholder, and then using the multiple record layout option to display the other three images (it's a postcard four-up on an SRA3 sized page, with four address blocks). This seems to be less buggy this way, but I have less control with the layout. I'm going to continue to test this theory today, but it could simply be that it can't cope with multiple variable address blocks.
Thanks for all your help guys.
Regards
Richard

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

RS

Data merge issues in InDesign CS4

Hello
I'm having an issue with a data merge document that I've made. The issue I'm having is when ever I "update content in data fields" items are deleted off of the page. I have rebuilt it several times but always get the same issue, any ideas?
Cheers
Jack

That's a feature I have not used, but could not replicate.
It seems for that feature, you have set up a merge doc with the fields on the Master Page? (preferred method) and created the merged document, edited the data source, gone to the Data Merge Panel and selected Update Content in Data Fields? That generated a log of updated records on my machine with the new data.
More info needed on your process.

Front Row Scrolling Issue

Hello. Just looked at the archives for this problem. Doesn't look like any posts on it since Nov. 2009 but it was never solved. So, I'm reopening it in hopes of finding an answer.
In Front Row while scrolling through my movies library the selection will jump back to the last played item unless I can quickly select a new item I'm stuck on the old one. Very odd. Pretty new problem as I've not been using Front Row much until lately. Of note is that it has a hard time figuring out what the preview should be for the selected item.
This is on my MBP with 2gb ram and 500gb hd.

Oops. Spoke too soon. I haven't solved the issue completely.
Ok, more info:
When I first start FR it works flawlessly. Then, after I select and play a movie and it plays completely (I chose a 5 minute Pixar short) then go back and try to scroll through to find another option, then I get preview errors and the selection jumps to the last played item. Repairing permissions only works if you quite FR and then restart. So I tried just quitting and restarting FR and it solved the problem for the first show then it came back after the video completed its run. So. The work around is to quit and restart FR after every video. That kinda *****.
I checked the console and got this:
2/14/10 10:22:13 AM com.apple.RemoteUI[1016] CoreAnimation: rendering error 501
Don't know what that means or how to fix it.
Any thoughts?

Account merging issues

So I merged my account to my windows ID (hotmail) when I got windows 8.1 and installed it. I merged my account because the default skype that comes with 8.1 forced me to do so, not upset about that, just a fact. The issue at hand is now that I'm trying to use it again because it works better on my home connection, it's telling me I need to merge my account again. Which I can't do because it's already merged and not allowing me to login, are there any quick fixes for this? I'm sorry if this has been posted before, to be honest I didn't look very hard and I'm just kind of frustrated and hoping someone can give me a link or quick answer. I need to use it for my job and can't do so because of this. The Downloaded client doesn't work very well on my home connection which wasn't an issue until today. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Update: I have found the cause of this strange behaviour.
The problem was the relationship between Account/Parent Account using S_ORG_EXT.PAR_OU_ID
Looking at the Siebel log file I saw the same SQL statements was issued thousands of times (with the same variables bound) and it showed up that Account A had Account B as it's parent account, while Account B had Account A as it's parent account. During the merge process Siebel seems to do some checks where in this case it runs into an infinite loop which explains the open cursors reaching the max value after a while.
Siebel seems to throw an error when trying to create such an invalid structure through the UI (circular loop detected - invalid hierarchy structure) but it seems somehow the relationship came into the system (EIM?).
So now that the invalid structure was removed manually, the merge completed.
Thanks

Result Row value Issue

Hi All,
I have created a query which has multiple selection & formula in it. One of my formula is not working properly.
Description of the issue:
Key figure is "no. of Shipment"
A calculated key figure "Total no of Shipment" is capturing the result row value of "No of Shipment".
But some time it doesn't work as expected. I don't know why.
For example if I select a week range then it dosen't work. I have used the "Total no of Shipment" in no. of other calculated key figure for calculation.
Meaning for %On-Time = (On-Time A%Total no of Shipment)
Below query is filter by fiscal week =Result
Plant|FiscalWeek|NoofShipments|Totalnoof Shipments|%OnTm
=====       ======   ========= ==========    ========
A |        Result |     98    |    78    |       104.10 %
Here "Total no. of Shipment" should be 98 but is not able to pick up the Result value & it getting 78...I don't know from where it get the number.
Please let me know if any body has faced similar case or is there any OSS note to fix the issue.
Thanks
Mahendra

Hi Rishi,
I tried as per you're suggestion. It didn't work.
See my key figure is "No.Of Shipment" & formula is
"Total no. of Shipment" = SUMCT (No.Of Shipment)
So whenever the result row of "No.Of Shipment" changes then "Total no. of Shipment" should pick up the value.
Please let me know if you have any other solution.
Thanks
Mahendra

Row lock issue when doubleclicking field

hi all,
i hav this confusing scenario on my oracle forms 6i.
i have this field that can be enabled trough onmouse double click (with set item propert, update_allowed) that allows user 1 to update current data.
when user 2 opens the same page where that field is located, and tries to edit that certain field, i encounter an error stating that user 2 could not access the field.
my database returns a row lock contention.
is there anyway that 2 users could be able to edit transactions simultaneously?
thanks in advance

but we are facing issue that once any user will pick that job , in applicatoin log files we can see that row gets lock and updates the status to 1 . but then also
users connecting to other or some time same instance will get that job...means multiple users can pick same job .. even after already picked by other user ..
Is this can be issue with rac configuration ... like when ever one user updates a row ..it will be in cache of one instance and when other user trys to again update
2nd instance does not have that information and allows user connected to that instace to pick that job..like delay in block tranfer or cache fusion..
is this can be issue with rac or it is purely application issue...
any idea...In principle this is not possible - it's either an application error or a fundamental and catastrophic Oracle bug that people would have made a huge fuss about years ago (and I don't recall hearing such a fuss).

Table section with 3 header rows pagination issue

Hi experts.
I have a table section pagination issue. In my case the table section combines 3 header rows.
Down bellow the series of screenshots I hope they describe my example well (click on screenshots to enlarge).
1) The data context
2) Layout elements
Here is my issue (table header output at the end of the page but there is no data row):
As you can see on the first page there is no more place for a data row but the header still exists.
if I set keep with next flag on the pagination tab for all header rows the result will be:
Is it possible somehow to fix it?
I would like to have the header row output on the page only if a data row exists bellow the header, the footer should only output if a data row exists above.
Here is PDF output:

The solutions is easy. You´d better create the corresponding DDIC objects hierarchy in the backend and then use the form to PRINT the prepared data ONLY. I mean:
In your backend:
in a row there is a dataset (table) and a optional dataset (table) == DDIC structure with two "fields" of type "table" = row A
use this "row" to create the "outer" table == DDIC table type with row A
Then you can just drag and drop this structure in your adobe form and will have do difficult with formatting.

Unattend.xml parsing/merging issue with SCVMM 2012 R2

Hi all
I have a problem with a new install of SCVMM 2012 R2. I have created templates for 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. I have an issue with the unattend.xml losing some of its configuration when the 2012 and 2012 R2 templates are built, this issue however doesn't
occur on a 2008 R2 template build.
I have generated unattend.xml files for all 3 OS's using System Image Manager in the latest AIK using the original install.wim from each OS media.
In the unattend.xml file I have specified language settings, and a few other bits but the issue I have is when I configure autologon with local admin and password. I specify a logon count of 1, I also specify a GUIRunOnce command in SCVMM and not the answerfile.
The problem is the resulting merged unattend.xml has a logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce command. I have tried different variations where I specify GUIRunOnce in the xml and not SCVMM, applying the autologon to the Template or Guest OS profile and
all end with the resulting xml with logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce. If I remove the autologon part then GUIRunOnce gets parsed and works correctly.
As mentioned this only happens with Server 2012 and 2012 R2, 2008 R2 works correctly.
Any ideas?

Hi Kevin
I am struggling with the same thing during bare metal installs of Hyper-V hosts. In my case I have managed to narrow it down to the language settings in the oobe pass. If I include them, parsing of the unattend file halts (without an explicit error anywhere)
and the host fails to join the domain. Could you try to leave out the language settings in oobe pass and see if it then completes as expected? Would be interesting to see if it actually is the same issue with a slightly different flavour :)
EDIT: Got a bit further now with the new release of WS2012 R2. All the testing I've done has been with the 05182 build. Stumbled across KB2913316 which stated that a new build (31419) was released december 11th. Allthough the KB does not directly apply to our
issue I thought I'd give it a go, so I went about building a new vhdx-image. Low and behold - the first test went smoothly applying all the settings in the unattend file! I'm going to continue testing to make sure the successful run wasn't just a fluke.
