Searching AW database for range of dates in AW 6.2.4

I can no longer use my Microsoftworks 4 on eMac since doing a clean install of OS 10.4.11. Prior to that it worked fine in Classic mode. I copied Works folder from old Mac 6500 via home network using ethernet connection to router. Setup program became corrupted when copying from Mac 6500 to eMac, so now unable to use MSWorks. Database was pure simplicity for copying individual fields to next record, searching for range of dates, and matching records with partial string using "contains" function.
Now using AW 6.2.4 which is more powerful but not as simple to use. Is it possible to do any of those tasks in AW? If so, how?

1) copying data into a field in a record from the corresponding field in the preceding record
Not automatic, but no more complicated than copying the information from the first record, then command-down and command-V; command-down and command-V; command-down and command-V; etc.
2) matching records containing partial string
If the partial string is expected in a particular field, use the "Match Records..." dialog from the Organize menu. Looking for records containing the word, "hoopla" in the field named "event", enter the following command: FIND("oop",'event',1)
-- Note single quotes around the fieldname, and double quotes around text to be found. -- Search multiple fields by imbedding multiple FIND statements in an OR statement.

How to Search BPM Processes for a Given Date Range through a VC Report

Hi All,
We have a VC component build to view the BPM process information. Here we are supposed to provide a Date range option for searching the processes. But the Range search is not working.
I tried in below ways.
1. On Action Submit, I set the Occurance_D value as "=DSTR(@DATE_FROM,"M/D/YY")&" - "&DSTR(DADD(@DATE_TO,1,"D"),"M/D/YY")" it is working only if there are processes existing either on DATE_FROM or on DATE_TO, otherwise its not working.
Like, I have 5 processes triggered on Sep-5-2011, then if i give the Date Range as 9/5/11 - 9/11/11 or 9/1/11 - 9/5/11 it is working. But if I give 9/1/11 - 9/11/11 it is not working.
I tried this way as well.
=DSTR(@DATE_FROM,"M/D/YY")&" : "&DSTR(DADD(@DATE_TO,1,"D"),"M/D/YY") . Even this is not working.
Can some one please help.
Regards,
SrinivaS

Dear SrinivaS,
The main things you need to consider are:
- store your date value from the UI in a store
- the store gets used to submit a filter string in format (MM/DD/YY) to
BI_START_TIME_D.
If you follow http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw72/helpdata/en/81/541300d147
41b39057c8ab3be61f7a/frameset.htm
you find that the process data source can be filtered in format "9/9/11
- 9/12/11" for field BI_START_TIME_D and BI_END_TIME_D.
The trick is now at submission time to concatenate the strings
accordingly and submit to BI_START_TIME_D. Use the following dynamic
expression
=DSTR(store@START_DATE_FROM,"MM/DD/YY")&" - "
&DSTR(store@START_DATE_TO,"MM/DD/YY")
to format the string during submission. I was able to verify this on my
machine. I hope that also your locale settings work with this
implementation.
Find attached a link to a small sample application [(test_date.zip) |please find attached a small sample application (test_date.zip) which]which shows you the proper usage of a date picker in conjunction with the
process data source. Please import the zip file into VC and deploy it.

Ralf.

How do I do a search based on a range of dates in Address Book?

In Palm Desktop, when I performed a search, a dialogue window would pop up that gave me a drop down list of every category in my database (ie. date modified, company, first name, last name, etc.). I could choose to just search for entries that were modified between january 2011 and March of 2011. I could choose to search for just the entries that were from the city of New York.
How do I taylor a search to just Address Book entries from Jan 2011 to March 2011? I can perform a smart search in a finder window, but that won't be able to only search Address Book, and it doesn't seem to bring up Address Book entries at all anyway. Does anyone have any ideas or is this just an insurmountable short coming of Address Book?
Thanks for your help.

Try creating a Smart Group within Address Book with a couple of statements to specify start date and end date.
This criteria I used in this example finds Address Book entries updated after 1/1/2011, and not changed in the last 48 weeks.
Testing on my Address Book this logic located 10 records meeting the criteria of almost 400 total entries over the last 4 years.

"in-network" email with integrated search-able database for printer room.

Hi,
I would like the following procedure to replace the current method of hand writing notes which are associated with files that are put in a drop box by employees to be printed in the printer room.
They're are about 30 employees that I want to be able to send an “in-network” email with as much as a 2 MB file attachment along with a template describing the file attachment to the printer room were there are 4 computers. The file attachment should go directly to the print server and the template explaining the file attachment along with who and when it was sent to go to a different computer (a PC - could be a MAC) containing one tracking data base. The data base would be integrated with the in network email. The data base would keep track of all the emails and attachments. The data base would be search-able and easy to back up. Their also should also be a pop up notification when new emails/print jobs arrive.
Computers: Two Print servers controlling two printers each. One Xserve. 30 Mac's running OS X.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jason

No easy way of doing this with existing server tools.
Your best bet is to get a professional on site and you will need extra software to be written for you.

Report Runing Very Slow for range even data set for that range is small

Hello Experts,
I have a report which runs on date selection.
When I run the report for say 01.01.2000 -31.12.2010 whcih contains 95% of the data , the report output is coming with in a minute.
But when I ran the report from 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2011 , or say 01.01.2011 for a single day , where the data set is hardly 3k records,the report is runing for long time 15 - 20 minutes and not showing output.
But when i remove this variable and run the report , it is coming again with in a minute.
One weird thing is when i ran the report from 01.01.2000 - 31.12.2011 it is also coming with in a minute, but when i ran for 01.01.2011 single day it is not coming.
Can any one share some inputs on this one.

This is your formatted code.

              100) cost, /* In place of this, you need to have a CASE */
       b.rkpt_name "Source" ,

case when a.distance >= 0 and a.distance <= 50 then 25
     when a.distance >= 51 and a.distance <= 100 then 50
     else 100
end cost More over your scalar sub-query is not correct. It may result in more than one row and may fail during run-time.

SQL for Parnet child for range values

Gurus,
I need help to figure out a query which will result to get parent child relation for ranges of data
eg:
Name Low High
t1 10000 20000
t2 10000 20001
t3 11000 15000
t4 10500 19000
t5 11000 14500
Results
Name Parent Low High
T2 0 10000 20001
t1 t2 10000 20000
t3 t1 11000 15000
t4 t1 10500 19000
t5 t3 11000 15000
Child will have only one parent
please help
gbk

Well normally I would suggest using Start with/Connect by for a hierarchical query.
But you need to provide more accurate data. Somewhere in your table you must have a parent id.
So if you had that it would look something like:
select name, nvl(parent_name, 0) low, high
from table
start with parent_name is null
connect by name = prior parent_name

SQL Search for range of money

One of my search fields is for Amount Paid... it's a drop down and it has the following options:
0-99
100-499
500-999
1000-4999
5000-9999
10000 +
The db column is DECIMAL (7,2)
How would I structure that portion of the query to return data based on the range selected?

For the queries that test for a range of values you would use the Between predicate:
Select * From MyTable where MyColumn between 0 and 99
Your script would need to evaluate the search term passed in and then convert that to the range value. You could easily parse the text value to obtain the two numeric values on each side of the "-" dash. Or just use an if/else condition.

How to get XLR to show BPs with no transaction data for a given date range

Hi -
I am building an XLR report that does a comparison of net sales data across two periods for a given sales employee's BPs.
The report has the row expansion:
FACT BPA(*) SLP(SlpName = "ASalesPersonNameHere") ARDT(Code = "ARCreditMemo", "Invoice") Group by BPA.CardName
and column expansions:
FIG(SO_TaxDate = @StartDate:@EndDate)
and
FIG(SO_TaxDate = @StartDate2:@EndDate2)
where @StartDate, @EndDate, @StartDate2, @EndDate2 are parameters that define the two ranges of dates.
The column formulas are, from left to right:
=ixDimGet("BPA", "CardName")
=ixGet("SO_DocTotal") <-- filtered by column expansion for first date range
=ixGet("SO_DocTotal") <-- filtered by column expansion for second date range
The report works fine except for one problem, I would like it to include BPs for which no transaction occurred in either date range as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Lang Riley

Really appreciate your feedback! Those are good suggestions. I should have mentioned that I had already tried both those suggestions.
Removing FACT on BPA in this case ends up returning all the BPs and not respecting the SLP(SlpName = "aName") part of the query.
Using **, i.e., * or #NULL, makes no change in the resulting data in this case. I had thought that ** would be the solution, but it didn't change the outcome. I still have BPs for which when their sales employee is used as the filter and they have no transactions for either date range, and yet they still do not appear.
I should further mention that the IXL query, as it now stands, does return BPs for which one of the periods has no data, just not both, and I have verified that applicable BPs with no transaction data for both periods do exist in my data set. It seems that perhaps the IXL query needs to be restructured? Please keep the suggestions coming including how this query might be restructured if necessary.

Need to create a report to show values for a particular date range

I have to create a report, out of which I need two columns : << Customer Value Variance and Churn Score Variance >> to show values only for a custom date range, which will be entered via a dashboard prompt.
These generic date columns are not present and cannot be added. I have to make use of Pres variables
What I have currently done is:
1) Created a prompt with 2 different date columns and passing those values into variables vStartDate and vEndDate. (I don't actually need those 2 column which I have selelcted, but I have taken those so that I can prompt the values in calendar format and pass onto the variables)
2) Created report with necessary columns, with 2 extra columns (hidden) as vStart Date Column and vEnd Date Column which take the values from the presentation variables defined in the prompt. I have created these columns as then I can reference these in the two required columns if necessary.
I am already facing error in report after doing this and I am confused how to proceed. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Yes, but it only has one generic Date column, no start date and end date. I can't use that twice in the prompt. Although I can specify it to be 'between', but I'm not sure I can pass values to both variables like that.
Currently I have used Campaign Start Date and Campaign End Date to enter values in calender format to the variables.

How to Cache Data from database for java mapping ?

Hi
I have a scenario where i have to dynamically query a huge table in some other database from java mapping code.
Therefore instead of making a new Database trip everytime is there a mechanism by which i can cache the entire table contents into XI first and then use this cache for looking up data through my java mapping.
Any other alternative also welcome which would give best performance.
Please Suggest
regards
Nilesh Taunk.

Hi Nilesh,
I am not sure if you can actually cache the table in XI. You will have to look up directly from your Database everytime your mapping excecutes.
To perform DB lookup during mapping very efficiently, I would suggest that you take a look at this blog,
/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/08/23/lookup146s-in-xi-made-simpler
Also, instead of doing the DB look up in mapping, you can also use your JDBC adapter as a sender and collect the information you want from your DB,
If you are using your JDBC as a sender, then your JDBC will poll over your database and select the rows that satisfy your Select Query. Also, there is another field in your JDBC adapter that is very important and that is the Update satatement. Once your JDBC adapter executes your select query and selects rows from the database, you might not need those rows to be selected again. In this csse, you can use the Update statement to update the database.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7e/5df96381ec72468a00815dd80f8b63/content.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2e/96fd3f2d14e869e10000000a155106/content.htm
The choice between a JDBC sender adapter , and the DB lookup will have to be on the basis of your requirements.

Can we create range variable for Query Key Date

Hello Gurus,
Can we create a range variable for Query Key Date ? when I tried to give a range of values for Query Key Date, I am unable to find Range Values option. I found only Single Values.
so, Please let me know if we can use Range variables for Query Key Date ??
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Aarthi

Hi Aarthi,
This is relevant for the time dependant master data that is being pulled in thw query. Like if you are using a nav attr in the query and this nav attr is time dependant, then which record (from the char master data) is to be pulled into the report, depends upon the key date that you specify.
The default key date value is the date on which the query is executed, that is <Today>.
Hope this helps...

Using a range of dates for Key Date

In a HR Bi data warehouse, we have a position-to-position hierarchy, where each of the nodes are time dependent. So, it shows for each node, valid from and valid to dates, and all the employees who are reporting to that position. This hierarchy is built on the infoobject 0HRPOSITION, which is maintained in R/3 and extracted to BI.
Let us take an example: Position 1000 is valid from 1-1-2006 to 6-30-2006 Employees reporting to this position are A,B,C,D
Position 1000 is valid from 7-1-2006 to 12-31-9999 Employees reporting to this position are A,E,F,G
When a user chooses the position 1000, and date range 1-1-2006 to 12-31-2006, it show the complete list of employees as
A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
Because the Keydate can only be a single value, and it is automatically taking today's date, and pulling the nodes based on that.
I have created a hierarchy node variable on the 0HRPOSITION infoObject, and entered the value 1000, with no value for the keydate.
The system is simply showing employees, A,E,F and G. That is my problem
My requirement is this: I like to be able to give a date range, (for the hierarchy) say from 1-1-2006 to 12/31/2006 and get the complete list of Employees, which is A,B,C,D,E,F,G.
Is this possible? Can I change the way this hierarchy is defined so that I can pull the possible values for a range?

Thank you Ajay.
After some thinking, I have realized that these options will not work.
We have a position-to-position hierarchy that shows who reports to who in the organization. This hierarchy is built on the Infoobject 0HRPOSITION. Each node in this hierarchy has is time-dependent. Note that, the entire hierarchy is not timedependent. Only the individual position nodes are time-dependent.
This 0HRPOSITION infoobject exists in the Heacount cube as one of the characteristics. Here is my requirement.
1. I want to show in a report, all the employees (directly or indirectly) reporting to a manager for a period of say, 1 year?
I know that I can specify a key date for the hierarchy 0HRPOSITION, then the report will show all the employees (direct and indirect) reporting to a position say 6/30/2008. I don't want this for a specific date, I want to get ALL the employees (direct and indirect) reporting to a position in a range of dates( say 1 year)
Does that make sense? How do we achieve this goal?
