Setting in Datasource (Format Column)

Hi,
I am a learner in BI.
How can i Change the format External to Internal in DataSource.
I was trying to load the data from Flat File to Infocube.
while activating DataSource i got an error.
ERROR: Field NAME ( Position 2 ): no conversion exit entered
Then i see the format is External and tried changing to Internal, but it is not changing.
I tried by changing the DataSource to edit mode and reactivated. After activation i have checked the DataSource, the format din't change. Again it shows external.
I am wondering is there anything to be done while creating InfoObject itself,
why the format is set to External by itself.
The InfoObject Data type is Char.
Regards,
CM

Hi Shiging,
When using datasource concept (7.0), you go into change mode and can change the settings.
When using emulated 3.x source, you can recognise via little square in front of description, you have to set these in the transfer rules.
SS convert routine is just an indication which conversion routine is assigned to the source field.
Convert routine is the conv. rout. assigned to the infoobject. When storing data, it will convert to internalm format, when displaying, convert to external.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Olav

How to set the data fields column wide at sqlplus

Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to know how to set the data fields column wide at sqlplus
Thanks

Can cells set to custom format appear differently on different versions of MS OFFICE?

I'm currently involved in a data enrichment project where we convert some financial data for our clients in excel. We've been facing a problem with date formats in the reports sent to us by the client.
We're supposed to enter 4 different dates in separate columns with 3 different formats. For example in one column the date format should appear in the dd/mm/yyyy format and in another as dd-mm-yyyy. What we've done is set all these cells to CUSTOM format
and in the TYPE dialog in the Custom Tab typed "dd\/mm\/yyyy" where we need the date to appear as dd/mm/yyyy and "dd-mm-yyyy" where we need the date to appear as dd-mm-yyyy.
However, the client says that when he downloads the file on his computer he sees the date formats set to DATE and not CUSTOM. Is this possible?
Can a cell set to CUSTOM FORMAT appear differently on a different version of MS OFFICE?
Does the Operating System also have a role to play in this?
For example if we've typed our data in OFFICE 2007 on a system with XP as the OS, will it not open as CUSTOM when we open it in OFFICE 2010 with Windows 7 as the OS?
We need serious help on this as this confusion has put our project in jeopardy.

Thanks for the help Jim. Just to make it clearer we haven't used quotation marks in the date formats. Further, we were told to use back slash by the client cause according to them this would help in keeping the date formats as fixed to custom format on any
computer that the file is opened on.
What I'm trying to figure out is that if a cell is set to a custom format, can it appear differently when opened on a different computer?
We've sent the file using Sendspace.com to our clients and when we download the file and open it on any version of MS Office we still see the custom formats in the date fileds. However, the client insists that it appears differently on their computers.
Is it possible for a cell set to a custom format to not appear as custom on a different computer?
Just to remind you again that we've downloaded the file on almost every version of Office and have noticed no change in the formats set by our team. How then is it possible that the dates doesn't appear as custom formats on their system?
I would really appreciate if you could help me solve this situation.

How can I set up a 2 column layout in LiveCycle?

Hi,
I'm new to working with LiveCycle Designer. I'm using version 10.4, the OEM version bundled with SAP. Aside from being quite buggy, the capabilities seem pretty similar to LiveCycle Designer ES4, which I downloaded in a trial version. All of which is to say that this is a newbie question.
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to set up a 2-column layout.
On my master page, I have two content areas.
When I create a new page, I am able to drag fields into the first content area I created, but not into the second content area.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Janet

Hi.
I am not a new LiveCycle Forms designer. I am using Workbench ES2 (9.0.0.2.20121123.884160). I have run into a new design problem related to a two column page. The business analytsts have designed the form in Word, where columns work great. I have tried two subforms within the page. The problem with that is when the right column subform overflows, it overflows to the left column (as the left column has not overflowed), or when the left column overflows (whether or not the right column overflows) the right column begins on the left column's overflowed page.
I have tried building a page with two side-by-side content areas in the Master Pages, including setting overflow parameters for each subform in the Design View, also with similar problems.
I have tried using a table with no header and 1 row. That one is interesting. When only one cell overflows to another page, it works correctly. When both columns overflow, the first text box in the subform in each cell is displayed at the top of the page and the remaining content of both cells overflow to the next page, leaving a nearly blank page containing only the one-line text label in each of the two columns.
Is there some nearly hidden setting I am missing? Is this possible within LiveCycle Designer Forms?
Thanks for your attention to this request.

Help Needed : Setting JDBC Datasource in Crystal XI using Sybase 12.5??

All,
We are migrating our systems to the Crystal XI from Crystal 9 Reporting Servers. I need some technical assistance on the Java API ( use of the Datasources) .
Problem: Currently in Crystal 9 we are using OLEDB datasources to connect to various Sybase 12.5 databases (which is been set programmatically at runtime). After I changed the Java code for getting the report object from the Crystal XI server instead of 9. I stared facing the dbLogon failed exceptions.. But surprisingly it does work randomly on only one datasource for a given session (AppServer Restart).
Need Help on Topics:
1. Is there any different way of configuring/usage the OLEDB datasources for CrXI? or any Java API changes while setting the datasource when using OLEDB?
2. Configuration required for using Simple JDBC connection (Sybase) instead of OLEDB? Can I get detailed help on this.
I will prefer using JDBC for CrXI using the Sybase 12.5, but there are very less documentation for how to configure and set databases at runtime.
Many Thanks in Adv.
Regards - Sudhir Deshmukh | Solutions Lead

Hi Sudhir,
For Building up a connection for OLEDB we need :
In order for Crystal Reports to connect to a database through OLE DB, there are some requirements that must be met:
u2022     The database client software must be installed on the client machine.
u2022     The client machine must be able to connect to the server from its client software
u2022     The client softwareu2019s working directory (example. c:\orant\bin) must be in the Windows search path
u2022     The OLE DB provider must be installed on the local machine.
We have the connection for crystal reports through OLEDB :
The process by which Crystal Reports access data from an OLE DB data source consists of these five layers:
Crystal Reports Layer
OLE DB Translation Layer
OLE DB Layer
DBMS Translation (OLE DB provider) Layer
Database Layer
The data translation is similar to the ODBC connection model. Crystal Reports uses CRDB_ADO.DLL to communicate to the OLE DB provider, which communicates to the database. Crystal Reports can connect to any database as long as that database has an OLE DB provider.
When creating a new report in Crystal Reports, OLE DB data sources are found in the Create New Connection folder with the OLE DB (ADO) connection.

Naveen.

PI JMS Adapter - setting of MQMD.Format

I have a requirement whereby I need to set MQMD.Format=u2019MQIMSu2019 on a receiver JMS channel, i.e. when it reaches our MQ / Mainframe from PI we need that format set (PI defaults to u2018MQSTRu2019). Unlike for example ccsid, format it is not a parameter available to be changed on the main JMS screens.
Any ideas on how I can achieve this? SAP has suggested doing some things over on the receiver (MQ) side but I don't want to go there, and don't think I should need to.
We are on PI 7.11 sp 5.
Background: as per IBM documentation (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?
q=cache:Ps4qVR_SbYIJ:www.macyplace.com/macyent/descriptions/MEMQClass.htmMQSERIESOTMAreasonmqims;cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca), otma-based messages must have a format of 'MQIMS'. Here is an excerpt:
...Messages using the IMS OTMA bridge require an MQMD format of "MQIMS"....

Hi Keith,
I am trying to do the same thing. Set the MQMD Format to MQIMS using the JMS_IBM_Format but that does not work and gives the following error:

I talked with one of the MQ Team here and they said you might want to have 3 spaces after MQIMS because the MQMB.Format field is 8 Characters and I tried but still the same error.
Also tried putting MQIMS is single and double quote lile "MQIMS " and 'MQIMS ' but it takes the quote as a character and does not create a MQ Message with format MQIMS.
Did you try it and had it working?
Thanks

Can I set the address format for individual contacts?

I have some foreign friends and would like to set the address format for their individual cards correctly. I can't seem to find a way to do this. I will be taken aback if this can't be done - I think the old Claris contact product did that.
Anyone with any answer?
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
When in edit mode, can you right click on the address field and change the country format there? I'm not on a Mac at the moment to double check, but that's what you do in OS 10.4 so I'd be surprised if it were changed in 10.5.
Edit: Here's picture to demonstrate what I'm referring to:

How to set access.log format to "combined"

Hello,
I'm trying to get AWStats working on Solaris and have that working fine, but to get more information, I need to set the log format to "combined".
Question is: is there a way to modify what is output in the access.log?

SHOULD I RECOMPILE and specify the access method?
Should i change line 1131 in db4.cpp to DBTYPE type = DB_QUEUE; ???

Unable to set requested sample format on soundcard

Hello friends.
I'm having a nightmarish relationship with my usb soundcard on various linux distributions from the day i started to use linux. After getting pops, clicks, soundcard not starting until i unplug it and plug it in again, system starting internal soundcards instead of the usb one (even when i set it as the main one) etc. I am now faced with a new challange it seems.
When i try to play csound file, it gives me an error saying that:
unable to set requested sample format on soundcard
When i try to play the speaker-test -c 2, it says:
sample format not avaivable for playback
This all happend after i created a .asoundrc file, which (it seems) fixes the issue of the system randomly picking which card it likes to boot, but now i'm unable to play anything.
Does anyone have any hints?

As for the applications, it doesn't matter if I use 44100, 48000, or any other sample rate, it gives the same output.
That does not make any sense: ~/.asoundrc holds alsa configuration, /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf or similar holds modprobe configuration. There is no need for ~/.asoundrc, as of this point. Is the usb sound cardconstantly plugged in? The sample rate matters for quality.

I have a Scarllet 2i2 usb audio card and have disabled the motherboard audio card in the bios, however i have no idea what this NIVIDIA GK107 is.
My usb card doesn't start when i boot the computer, so i have to manually unplug the usb connection and plug it back in again. This has been the case on almost all linux distributions i tried, i think only in fedora it booted with the computer once or twice. However after initial boot if i only restart the computer, i don't have to unplug and plug the sound card again, it's only when i turn off the computer and turn it on again.
My usb card loaded up fine with the alsa-base conf for dozen of times, but all of a sudden it refuses to load as the default card and in alsamixer i get that NVIDIA thing as my default card, which i can't change. Because of that, i created a .asoundrc file, which makes the system load my usb card as the primary device, however, then i cannot play or do anything with audio, as the system is unable to control it. When i was talking about output, i meant the error outputs, not the sound, as there is no sound output (i understand what sample rate does, it just doesn't matter if i set it to 44100, 48000, or 96000, the errors still say, that the programs cannot set the sample rate).
As for /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf - i have no such file in my system. And i cannot set it as you proposed, since "lspci -nn | grep -i audio" only shows the output of that NVidia thing.
P.S. sorry for the late response rate, as i just got back from a 24 hour shift and thank you for your answers.

Mysterious formatting columns table

Hi all,
i don't post a problem, but a curiosity. I'm managing a Oracle BI environment developed by others, so many aspects are unknown for me. I've observed that if i make an Answers request dragging and dropping any columns from my subject area, any of them are still formatted. In detail, if i drag and drop a column that contains double values it is formatted, otherwise if (from same table) i drag and drop a column that contains integer values it isn't formatted. All columns have same class "TableHdg".
I ask me, where is specified this behaviour? In css style? But how a css style can distinguish between a double and integer values to decide how formatting columns?
Thanks
Giancarlo
Edited by: 832596 on 15-apr-2011 3.47

Hi,
thanks for your reply. I've formatted hundreds of tables but i've never noted these options. Incredible!!!!!!!!!. Can you tell me, when i click on "Save as the system-wide for this data type" (for example), where Oracle BI saves formatting options? In a css file? What?
Thanks

Database level setting for timestamp format

Is there any way by which I could set the timestamp format for a database
Something similar to timestamp sesion setting like
alter session set nls_timestamp_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF1'

You can define NLS parameters at the instance level in the parameters file. But any redefinition at the client side will overcome this.

Hi all,
Thanks for your suggestion.
However, for the case "boot -s", the system seems no change the error messages after reboot and still shown these messages again and again.
For the case setting up a install server and boot server, is it possible to set these severs on x86 system? Since the problem is on the SPARC system and no other available SPARC system can set up as a install server and boot server. I only concern the x86 system can provide install service for a SPARC system.
Could you have any idea to modify the "nodename" file during boot up or by typing some command at "ok" prompt?
e.g. type "boot -s /etc/uname -S NAME" at "ok" prompt or something like that??
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
