Simple calculation using input data

Hello,
I know this has to be simple for most people in this forum but I have been trying to figure this out for many hours.
Here's what I am trying to do:
I created a numeric field that a user enters a number. I want this number to be multiplied by .475 and to appear in the same field.
In other words how do I use the inputed data for a calculation in the same field?
Thank you.

Hi Howard,
Try writing a script on the exit event of the numeric field. For example:
1. Select the numeric field.
2. In the Script Editor, select the exit event from the Show list. If the script editor is not opened, go to the Window menu and select Script Editor.
3. Type the following FormCalc script:
$ = 0.475 * $
Where $ is the value of the current field. If you prefer working in JavaScript, change the Language type to JavaScript and type the following script instead.
this.rawValue = 0.475 * this.rawValue;
4. Preview the form.
5. Type a value then exit the field.

Need help on how to create the simple mapping using ORACLE DATA INTEGRATOR

Hi guys,
am new to learn odi.. please share me or steps how to develop the simple mapping using ODI...

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle Data Integrator as well. You should have a look here first; http://www.business-intelligence-quotient.com/?p=379
Try to play around with ODI and then come back if you have specific questions. You should better move to this ODI-forum; Data Integrator

How to perform calculations using column data in BI Publisher

Hello guys
I am very new to BIP, and recently I am learning to create new templates using XML files..
I am trying to create a report that has Account Amount, Amount Net Amount, PM_Amount and a New field say "X"
For Account Amount it is what it is, but for Net Amount it is "Account Amount/40%", for PM_Amount it is "Net Amount x (Account Amount/30)" and for field X it is "(Net Amount + PM_Amount)/column A" where column A is another data field in the XML file but it should not be included in the template report..
Could anyone help me with how to perform such kind of calculations in BIP Template builder? In OBIEE, it is very easy that I can just use column formula, but in BIP I still haven't figure out the way yet..
PLease advice
Thanks

Thanks for the reply..
I looked at the link you provided already, what I wanna know is how to exactly apply the expression in my calculation. In other words, I know that Column C = "Column A div Column B", but in BIP form property, how do I actually substitue "column A" with the actual column..
I wish I could post the XML, but it is huge, it contains 6 data sets and more than 100 columns. I only need 15 columns on my template.
On the form property of each measures, in the "advance tab", I see codes like <?accountamount?>. Now I wanna have a new column said "PM_Amt" which should be "(accountamount div %40) x column B". So I just randomly select another column said "payment". I rename it to "PM_AMT" and on its "advanced tab" it is still <?payment?>. So right there, if I wanna replace that code with a new one that does "(accountamount div %40) x column B" calculation, how would I do it? What would be the syntax including how to propertly refer to the right column field as part of the expression?
And do I have to always use xdofx between <>? how would I know?
Please advice if you understood what I am trying to say
Much thanks

Save as using input data of a form

Hi,
I know that it's possible to write javascript which runs after pressing 'save' in a PDF.
So I wonder if the following would be also possible for an existing pdf file which contains forms (Name, Address,...):
- fill out forms
- press save
- acrobat saves file to e.g. c:\form[Name].pdf
form[name] would be the Name filled in the form
e.g.:
PDF FORM
Name: Barack Obama
Address: ....
SAVE PDF TO
c:\Barack Obama.pdf
So would this be possible? And if YES, how?

Have a look at this tutorial (especially the last part): http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

EPM add-in problem with input data,retrieve dimension or members

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use data write back (input data) function with EPM add-in in Dashboards. I managed successfully bringing results of an EPM report. I've created a local connection at EPM, and created a connection at data manager for"Planning and consolidation, version for SAP netweaver platform". And i could get the values via refreshing connection at preview mode, so far so good. Now i want to add a connection which will serve as data write back function to a specific BPC cube. The problem is, I can retrieve data source name and environment name. But when i click to retrieve model names, it retrieves empty results. The problem exist in, "retrieve dimension" and"retrieve dimension members" functionalities too. I realized that i could retrieve model names for only one specific environment, but even i could get these, when i try to retrieve "cell definition" i am facing an error. You can see related screenshots below.
I am using Dashboards 4.1 SP2, EPM connector 10 SP 17. I created two connections as local and business planning and consolidation for netweaver. I selected same environment and model name for these connections. Neither did work. Any ideas?
Update: The reason i could see some model names and some others not was i didn't specified the model as data source at:
Enable BPC Model as reporting data source
Logon to BPC 10.0 NW web client -> Planning and Consolidation Administration -> Dimensions and Models -> Models -> Select the Model -> Edit -> Features Used with the Model -> mark check box 'Use as Source of Data' -> Save.
I will update here if i could find a solution for the other issue. (First screenshot).
Update_2: The problem was occuring because i wasn't connecting to transient cube, created automatically by applying the step at Update_1. While creating a local connection, you shouldn't connect to the original cube, but to the transient one instead to use input data functionality.
Regards,
Onur

HI,
I believe it is definitely the support pack. I posted an issue on this forum and I saw your post. Your issue is very similar to mine. I saw Andy's reply to you about the SP 18 and looked into it. Thanks Andy. SP 18 resolved my issue. See my post. Kathy

Input Date display and submit formats

I need to insert Timestamp into the Oracle database table field.
My particular EO attribute is of type "Timestamp", so that I can insert the Date with time. Also in the control hints format is "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"
The problem is that I just need to show only the Date without time in my table cell using input date.
If change the format in the control hints then I am unable to insert timestamp.
I also see there is a af:convertDateTime component inside af:inputDate.
Can some show easy path to achieve this?
In short how to display only selected date but to insert actual timestamp.
I use JDev. 11.1.1.3
Thanks.

Thanks for the concern.
But if I use "af:convertDateTime" and set pattern to "dd/MM/yyyy" to achieve showing date only I will loose the timestamp to be inserted.
Basic requirement is to show date only and insert real timestamp using input date, also note that I insert timestamp on another user action after the user change the input date value.
I feel like this can not be achieved with single input date in ADF. Am I right? Or is there a way?
Please help.

Calculations on customer exit using input variable

hi,
suppose i have a date input variable on my query, and i want to use the input value as an input for a calculation to be done in a different characteristic variable whose value is derived via a customer exit. how could this be done?
as an example - i have an input date field, and say, the user enters 1/15/2005. the other characteristic variable is, for example, sales for a given date, restricted against a characteristic variable (customer exit) which should restrict the KF to say, the start of the month of the input date up to the input date (in this case, 1/1/2005 - 1/15/2005).
thanks in advance. =)
ryan.

Hi Ryan,
you have to use parameter I_STEP = 2 in your exit (IF I_STEP = 2. (...))
This second step is called after the processing of the variable pop-up and only for those variables that are not marked as ready for input and are set to mandatory variable entry.
Build your second variable in this way and then you can use this step to see first (pop-up) variable value.
For details see www.service.sap.com/bw -> SAP BW InfoIndex -> Variables -> How to... Derive a Variable value from another variable 2.x (pdf).
Hope it helps (and please don't forget to assign some points by clickin'on the yellow star to the contributors that help you !!!)

Process sampled data and perform simple calculation to by pass Matlab?

I have files that contain large number current samples (like 300,000 for example). I need them to performing simple calculations (for example to calculate energy).
Before, I used Matlab to load all those samples into array and to do all calculations there.
However... that process is kind of slow. What can I use to simply this and replace Matlab by some script?
Can I use perl or php to perform this operation on set of sample files to spit out final calculation values into new file?

I'm surprised no one has suggested numpy and scipy, which are modules for python 2. They have syntax that's similar to mattlab, they're very fast, and python is useful in other circumstances and easy to learn.
I did something similar for spectral data. Here's an example of what I did in python:
#!/usr/bin/env python
#This program goes through rayleigh line data and finde the mean shift
#in nanometers and the standard deviation
import sys, os
import numpy as np
import scipy as sp
import scipy.optimize as op
import time
ray = []
filenames = []
line = 633
def rs(wavelength,laser):
return ((float(1)/laser)-(float(1)/wavelength))*(10**7)
def main(argv): #Goes through a file and finds the peak position of the rayleigh line
f = np.loadtxt(argv).transpose() #opens the file
maxi = np.amax(f[1]) #Finds the value of hte peak of the rayleigh line
intensity = [f[1,i] for i in range(len(f[1]))] #extrants the array into a list
indi = intensity.index(maxi) #Finds the index of the rayleigh line
ray.append(f[0,indi])
filenames.append(str(argv))
# Goes through each file named in the CLI call and applies the main function to it
for filename in sys.argv[1:]:
main(filename)
# Use numpy for some basic calculations
mean = np.mean(ray)
StandardDeviation = np.std(ray)
median = np.median(ray)
variance = np.var(ray)
ramanshift = [rs(ray[i],line) for i in range(len(ray))]
rsmean = np.mean(ramanshift)
rsSD = np.std(ramanshift)
rsmedian = np.median(ramanshift)
rsvariance = np.var(ramanshift)
tname = str(time.asctime())
# Write all calculations to a file
output = open('rayleigh_'+tname+'.dat','w')
output.write('#The files used for this compilation are:\n')
for i in range(len(filenames)):
output.write('#'+filenames[i]+'\n')
output.write('The wavelengths of the Rayleigh line are (in nm):\n')
for i in range(len(ray)):
output.write(str(ray[i])+'\n')
output.write('The raman shifts of the rayleigh line for '+str(line)+'nm are (in rel. cm^(-1):\n')
for i in range(len(ray)):
output.write(str(ramanshift[i])+'\n')
output.write('Mean = '+str(mean)+'nm, or '+str(rsmean)+' rel. cm^(-1)\n')
output.write('Standard Deviation = '+str(StandardDeviation)+' nm, or '+str(rsSD)+' rel. cm^(-1)\n')
output.write('Median = '+str(median)+'nm or, '+str(rsmedian)+' rel. cm^(-1)\n')

Simple calculator in html5 using web form elements

Hello
I would like to make an educational miniwebsite with my son who is getting interested in internet programming.
I was wondering if html5 could be used to do simple math in html5 using the input of web form elements, such as radio button (for the choice of math operation: add/sub/mult/div) and two numbers in input fields.
Then a submit equivalent would generate the output result, preferrably in a field still on the same page (without going to another page, as it is the case with submit).

I think that you might be looking for something like this:

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.

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

Leigh,
After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
Try it out.

SQL LOGIC - How to accept USER input and use that data in SQL Logic?

Hello Experts
Can anyone of you please explain in detail how to acheive the above task am a begginner, it would be great help for me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You mean to say, you need to use inputs from Data manager Prompts in your Script Logic.
From Help File
You can use the EvDTSModifyPkg task to dynamically pass a text string to logic in Data Manager. For example, a user who wishes to dynamically pass a text string representing a year (which is a portion of the *XDIM_MEMBERSET instruction) could use the following steps:
Using the EvDTSModifyPkg task, prompt for the year, i.e., PROMPT(TEXT,%TEXT%,"select a year")
Pass the returned %TEXT% to the FormulaScript of the RunLogic task as follows: TASK(RUNLOGIC,FORMULASCRIPT,"*FUNCTION MYYEAR=%TEXT%u201D)
In the Data Manager logic, use the dynamically created function as follows: *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME=MYYEAR.INPUT.
The logic name in the RunLogic task must be specified with the .LGF extension to enforce its validation at run time.
BPC NW 2.0 Version Works differently.
Hope this Helps,

Simple calculator to use log, successor, predecessor ?

Hello. I have this simple calculator program, and I am having trouble with the log, successor (if 8 entered returns 9), predecessor (if 8 entered returns 7). The log gets this error:
Calculator.java:113: log(double) in java.lang.Math cannot be applied to (int,int)
               result = (int)Math.log(result, stringToInteger(ioField.getText()));
I did the same thing with power, and it seems to work so I'm a little confused about that.

A 'double' is not the same as an 'int' and they can't fit the one value-type into the memory of the other.
Although this is a logical math problem, simple for us, we have better memory than a computer.
An integer maps a certain amount of memory to fix its maximum value, when you cast, you must cast into a type that is the same or smaller in terms of memory byte size.
Just like you can't cast some objects as others, you can't cast a double as an int.
The error is telling you that the result of a method call is incompatiable with the argument of another method call.
The fault lies at Calculator.java source file at line 113 in the file. This is where you call the method log() which requires an argument of type 'double' which is located in Math class log method where the two arguments are 'int' and 'int'.
However, in your call, you inflect the reference 'result' as the product of the method call in which the 1st argument is also 'result'
That in itself is bad design. It's like saying "Joe is the product of Mike (who uses Joe)."
Memory-wise, this could cause possible leaks.

Explain How delivery date is calculated using backward and forward schedul

How can anyone please explain how delivery date is calculated using forward and backward scheduling
I want to have it broken down into the following steps
for eg for delivery date calculation following dates are used
Material Availabilty Date
Material Staging Date
Pick/pack time
Transportation PLanning date
Loading date
Goods issue date
Transit Date
Delivery Date
Can some one please give me an example and explain wht these dates are
for eg customer needs delivery date on 11/20/2008
how would the system cacluate whether it can meet the delivery date using backward scheduling
and if it doesnt meet how does the system do the forward scheduling
also i am not clear with the following dates
material avaialibilty date
material staging date
transportation date
can some one please explain me all this in detail
Thanks

Hi,
Basically this is the CRSD(Customer requested ship date logic)logic in which system calculates the ship date depends upon the material availability. If material is available system calculates ship date on the basis of master data maintained in customisation.Master data is maintained in the following link.
If material is not available then system takes into consideration vendor delivery date & then calculate customer ship date.
Please go through the link in SPRO
LE-Shipping -Basic shipping functions-Scheduling -Delivery scheduling & Transportation scheduling-Maintain duration.
In customisation following data is maintained
Material Availabilty Date
Material Staging Date
Pick/pack time
Transportation PLanning date
Loading date
Goods issue date
Transit Date
Delivery Date
Hope you got the idea of CRSD calculation
Regards,
Prashant.

How do I insert input data into anoracle table using C#

Hi guys,
I am new in the .NET arena and I am using Visual Studio 2005 Pro edition.. For instance I have 2 forms one being the main form which calls another to to insert captured text onto a form with the idea of passing it into the oracle database. I am failing to do that using C#. Where am I going wrong? Part of the code when I use actual values, data is written but when I want to write from input text from the form I get an Oracle message ORA-00936. A global connection is established in the first form.
Here is the successful code:
Try
MyCmd.CommandText="insert into station (stn_abb,stn_no,stn_name)"+
"values('MUT','0480','MUTARE')";
Int rowsUpdated = MyCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
If (rowsUpdated == 0)
MessageBox.Show("RECORD NOT WRITTEN");
Else
MessageBox.Show("RECORD WRITTEN TO TABLE");
Txn.Commit();
Here is the UNSUCCESSFUL code:
Try
MyCmd.CommandText = "insert into station (stn_abb,stn_no,stn_name)" +
"values(@txtStnAbb.Text,@txtStnNo.Text,@txtName.Text)";
Int rowsUpdated = MyCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
If (rowsUpdated == 0)
MessageBox.Show("RECORD NOT WRITTEN");
Else
MessageBox.Show("RECORD WRITTEN TO TABLE");
Txn.Commit();
Regards,
Ray.

Hi,
I assume that in the second example your intent is to use bind variables, but I dont see where you're actually binding any variables. Also, "@" is sqlserver syntax, Oracle's syntax is ":".
Here's a complete example, hope it helps.
Cheers
