Standard error function (excel STEYX)

hello al
is there a vi to do the same like the standard error in excel: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/steyx-HP005209284.aspx
or is it the standard deviation vi? (but then, how to use the 'input data point' to point to an array?)
thanks in advance

Property node standard error in functionality - odd behavior

I am getting what I would consider unusual behavior from a property node when there is an error on the error cluster input. The Help for the VI indicates this node has Standard Error In functionality, which I interpret as if there is an error on the input then the node does not run and the error is simply passed through to the output.
The behavior I'm getting is that the error gets passed through, but the properties of the node also get passed out with the data that was present the last time the node was called (including when it wasn't this specific node, but a different property node within the same VI that has the same property outputs).
In Psuedo code, this is what I'm doing:
Use Invoke node to call a method from a DLL (which sends a command to a device and gets its response).
Pass the method reference to a property node, which then outputs the properties of the method (the response from the device).
This works fine when everything is as it's supposed to be (device I'm communication to is connected, etc.).
If I disconnect the device completely and then run the VI again, I get the property outputs from the previous communication out of the property node, which are obviously not valid as the device isn't even connected. This happens even if the command I sent to the device is not the same; Command1 is sent and gets valid response, disconnect device, command2 is sent and I get response for command1 from the property node of command2. Command1 and command2 are in different cases of a case structure.
At first I thought there might be an issue with the DLL functionality (and there might be) reporting stale data, but before that is even an option it seems the property node shouldn't even be possible to have data output when the node is supposed to be bypassed entirely when an error is passed in.
Is this supposed to happen? Am I missing something?

Coincidentally, this week I ran into what appears to be the same behavior with the Scan from String function, and I thought of this thread. It doesn't help solve your problem, but maybe it's useful to know that this behavior happens in other built-in functions, not just Property Nodes. I started a new thread to look at this more generally.

Error in Excel converter

Hi All,
I am having issues while using export to excel functionality in Query designer and in portal.
I have a query where I have 3 key figures of date format ( 2 of type date - DATs YYYYMMDD and 1 of date type - DEC Counter or amount field with commas - standard SAP key figure).
When I remove the date key figures from the query, I am able to successfully download the report from portal to excel. But with these in the query, I get the following error:
Exception in BI runtime
Initial cause
Message:
No message was provided.
Stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Message:
Error in Excel converter
Stack trace:
com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.runtime.controller.MessageException: Error in Excel converter
The report runs fine in BEx analyzer with these key figures. Also other reports that have these key figures, can be downloaded to excel.
Any ideas why we are facing this issue?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Payal.

Tom SAVU,
This was a known issue with the Report Generation Toolkit version 1.0.1 that was fixed in version 1.1. All that needs to be done to fix this is to left click on each item of the unbundle by name with the operate tool and select the correct element.
I have included a picture of the correct wiring.

How to use standard java functions in a XSLT mapping

Hi All,
I wish to use a standard java function in a XSLT mapping, The issue is either i am giving incorrect namespace which is used to invoke the function or the signature of the function call is incorrect, I have read all the links in http://help.sap.com, and i know <b> one can enhance a XSLT mapping by writing one's own java code and thereby using java standard functions </b>, but the requirement is such that i need to try and use java standard function in XSLT mapping itself.
Please refer to the sample code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:javamap="java:java.lang.String">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="input" select="Title">
<xsl:if test="function-available('javamap:toUpperCase')">
<xsl:value-of select="javamap:toUpperCase($input)"/>
</xsl:if>
Author:<xsl:value-of select="Author"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
error encountered is: Illegal number or type of arguments.
please reply if you have tried a similar scenario in SAP XI.
Thanks & Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
    First of all i want to tell you that as per the documentation you can only call the static function inside xslt mapping. Your toUpperCase method is a non static function.
What i am getting is that you have an element called Author and you want to convert its value into uppercase.
you can write your own user defined function which is static.
Signature of your java method :
public static string toUpperCase(String Author,Map inputparam)
try this xslt map.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:javamap="java:JavaProgram">
     <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
     <xsl:param name="Author">
             <xsl:value-of select="//Author_name"/>
     </xsl:param>
     <xsl:param name="inputparam" />
     <xsl:template match="/">
     <Author>
             <xsl:if test="function-available('javamap:toUpperCase')">
              <xsl:value-of select="javamap:toUpperCase($Author,$inputparam)"/>
             </xsl:if>
     </Author>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope this will work.
Thanks and Regards

Error in Excel 2007.

We have a user who gets an error when he will start the BPC for Excel in Excel 2007. And he can not open the BPC for Excel. The following error message appears: "In order to open the file Ev4Excel.xla the file had to be repaired or it was forced to remove unredable materials. The workbook has lost its VBA projects, ActiveX controls and all other programming functions." And it can not open the BPC for Excel
The user also has Excel 2003 installed on his computer and if he uses Excel 2003, it works.
Is it possible to have both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 installed on the same computer and run SAP BPC against both
Are there some Excel add-ins that you have to install when you install the Excel 2007?

Hi,
In SAP BPC installation guide you will find below recommendation
Note: In order for the software to function correctly in Excel 2007, you must
install the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider, which you can get from the
Microsoft website. The provider must be installed on the Application server.
This provided in 25mb in size. We installed it on our application server. but still some errors with excel 2007 is not resolved. Finally we tried with office 2003, but still error continued. When we moved back to office 2007, some excel-addins which were available earlier went missing.

Exception handling for a standard SAP Function Module - the OO way

Hello,
I was wondering what is the correct way to call a standard SAP function module inside a method of global class.
I want to display the error via the:
get_text( ) and get_longtext( ) methods.
I don't want to use the sy-subrc check. Is this possible?
My example doesn't seem to work...
See example bellow:
DATA: ex_object_cx_root TYPE REF TO cx_root,
      ex_text TYPE string,
      ex_text_long TYPE string.
TRY.
      CALL FUNCTION 'L_TO_CONFIRM'

          i_quknz                        = '1'          " '1' - confirm withdrawal only (picking )
          i_commit_work                  = 'X'          " Indicator whether COMMIT WORK in function module

          t_ltap_conf                    = it_ltap_conf " Table of items to be confirmed
        EXCEPTIONS

             err_message_text_long = ex_text_long.
ENDTRY.
Thank you very much in advance

Hello Marko,
If i understand correctly you've enclosed the call to the FM 'L_TO_CONFIRM' inside the TRY ... CATCH ... ENDTRY block.
CATCH cx_root INTO ex_object_cx_root.
      ex_text = ex_object_cx_root->get_text( ).
      ex_text_long = ex_object_cx_root->get_longtext( ).
You can't do this because the FM 'L_TO_CONFIRM' doesn't propagate OO exceptions!
Your approach is almost correct, what you've to do is goes like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'L_TO_CONFIRM'
EXPORTING
    i_lgnum                        = i_lgnum      " Warehouse number
    i_tanum                        = i_tanum      " Transfer order number
    i_quknz                        = '1'          " '1' - confirm withdrawal only (picking )
    i_commit_work                  = 'X'          " Indicator whether COMMIT WORK in function module
TABLES
    t_ltap_conf                    = it_ltap_conf " Table of items to be confirmed
EXCEPTIONS
    to_confirmed                   = 1    " Transfer order already confirmed
    to_doesnt_exist                = 2
    item_confirmed                 = 3
    item_subsystem                 = 4
    to_item_split_not_allowed      = 51
    input_wrong                    = 52
    OTHERS                         = 53.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.

Why don't standard XPath functions work in XSLT?

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to do some simple string processing in XSLT. What I would like to do is make selection using the standard xpath functions defined by the w3c. I'm using this as my cheat sheet:
http://w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_functions.asp
I've tried the default XSLT parser that comes with Java, the latest distro of Xalan and the latest distro of Saxon. Nothing seems to recognize the fn namespace:
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions"
In particular, I'm trying to use the tokenize(string, regex) function. Only Xalan seems to support this at all, only recognizes {http://xml.apache.org/xalan}tokenize, and it is treating the regex as a literal.
This is very frustrating. Is it possible to get the standard Xpath functions to work for XSLT?

How did you get it to work with Saxon? I have saxon9he.jar on my classpath. When I try to transform this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:src="http://xml.kitfox.com/schema/game/tileWorld/textTable"
    xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
    xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions"
    version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="fn:tokenize('a b c', '\s+')">
        "<xsl:value-of select="."/>"
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>I get the error
Error on line 100
Cannot find a matching 2-argument function named
{http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions}tokenize()Is there some other jar you need to include to get http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions to resolve?

Standard Error Bar

I'm exploring Flex as a candidate to use for developing a web application that displays many graphs. The data displayed on the graphs are discreate values with associated stardar errors. I need to display the standard errors as an error bar - similar to how MS Excel displays error bars. Can anyone tell me if this can be done with Flex?

V,
Numbers does the best it can with the information you give it. If you ask for Error Bars, Numbers will calculate the standard deviation for the series and assign that calculation result to each of the bars in the series.
If each of your values represents some statistic that in itself is accompanied by a standard error, that's another thing, but Numbers doesn't know what the error values are unless you tell it. The way to tell Numbers what the error bar values should be in these special cases is to use Custom values.
Here's an example:
I like to use the Scatter Chart, but you will find similar controls for the bar chart.

Standard Error Codes

Hi, I'm developing an application and in case of exceptions I try to provide the user with well defined error-codes, eg one error code 2910 for "File not found" etc, which is far more exact than just an error message. I was wondering if anyone knew about some standard error codes defined that are commonly used in programs. So that I don't have to come up with it myself if someone have given it deep thought for good structure, understandability etc.
Gil

So best thing you could do is, put all your possible errror-codes into the class that might produce them and make sure you document them ! like :
public class couldProduceErrors {
* Constant for Error : I ordered a beer but didn't have any money. This value is retuned by method
* getMeABeer if and only if .......etc ....bla
public static final int ORDERED_BUT_NO_MONEY=-1;
* Constant for Error : I ordered a beer but I'm not old enough to by one. This value is retuned by method
* getMeABeer if and only if .......etc ....bla
public static final int ORDERED_BUT_TOO_YOUNG=-2;
//the code of your class from here on
}Running this through javadoc will provide the information to the developer and he will appreciate it.
The actual value you choose are irrelevant to the user (as long as they are unique). If you like you can choose only negative value for a quick check if any error has happend.
int result =getMeABeer()
if(result<0) {
switch(result) {
    //process error
else
//drinkBut if you insist here's an excerpt from the file errno.h in the linux Kernel, I find these codes hard to remember, but there are a lot of people who have it on their machine:

Errors for excel - excel service unavailable. Event Viewer has error event ids - 5239 and 5231.
We restart the excel service app and it solves. Looking for permanent solution.

To resolved the issue do a simple restart.
Restart the server
Before restarting, verify that this problem occurs often. It may be an intermittent problem that is automatically corrected and does not require you to restart the server.
If the problem occurs often, restart the server running Excel Services Application.
If the problem continues to occur often, and restarting the server did not correct the problem, confirm that the hardware of the server is functioning correctly, or reinstall Excel Services Application and re-add the server to the server farm.

Capturing various standard errors using openscript

Hi , we have automized a scenario using openscript where in the steps are like starting from creating requistion --> Req approval --> PO creation and approval --> Receipt Creation --> Invoice Creation and then quick payment.
when we playback the script it works fine with valid data inputs from databank. But we want to capture all the standard errors if any occurs in between when script playback. For eg : if Invoice batch name entered already exists in system it throws a warning like name already exists. At this step scripts fails but it capturing some error which end user wont understand. By anyway we can capture all the standard errors that can occur during functional testing. I mean we cannot write custom exception for each situation and may not what kind of errors we may face. So is there any way we can capture all the standard errors during functional testing using openscript/OTM. The platform we are using is Oracle Applicaitions ERP R12, open script 12.2

Enter your codes in try and mention code like following in catch
try{ }
catch(Exception e ) {
String pageindex = web.getFocusedWindow().getAttribute("index");
            if(web.element("/web:window[@index='"+pageindex+"']/web:document[@index='"+pageindex+"']/web:div[@text='Error']").exists()){
            fail(web.element("/web:window[@index='"+pageindex+"']/web:document[@index='"+pageindex+"']/web:div[@text='Error' ]").getParent().getAttribute("text"));
            else if(web.element("/web:window[@title='Oracle Applications R12']").exists()){
                forms.captureScreenshot();
                    think(2.169);
            String statusBarMessage = "";
            if(! forms.getStatusBarMessage().equalsIgnoreCase("")){
                statusBarMessage =""+forms.getStatusBarMessage().toString();
            if (forms.choiceBox("//forms:choiceBox").exists()) {
                fail(" Unexpected choicebox found:- "+forms.choiceBox("//forms:choiceBox").getAlertMessage()+ (!statusBarMessage.trim().equals("") ? (".... \t Statusbar message: "+statusBarMessage) : ""));
            } else if (forms.alertDialog("//forms:alertDialog").exists()) {
                fail(" Unexpected alertbox found:- "+forms.alertDialog("//forms:alertDialog").getAlertMessage()+ (!statusBarMessage.trim().equals("") ? (".... \t Statusbar message: "+statusBarMessage) : ""));
            } else {
                fail(" Failed during script playback : " + e.getMessage()+(!statusBarMessage.trim().equals("") ? (".... \t Statusbar message: "+statusBarMessage) : ""));
        else {
            fail("   Failed during script playback : " + e.getMessage());

Calculating Standard Error from Linest

I graphed some data as a bar chart and included positive & negative standard error bars. When I try to have the calculation of standard error in the associated data table, I find that the only function available is the standard deviation, which is related but not the same. My understanding is that the Linest function will produce an array of numbers, one of which is standard error, but I cannot figure out how that function works. How is the array produced? I tried inserting the Linest function in a cell of a table separate of my data table but it only put the number which is in the A-1 cell of the array shown in the Linest explanation and I don't understand how the rest of the array is filled out. The standard error for Y, which is what I am trying to obtain, is in cell B-4 of the array as I recall.

S,
If you open the Function Browser and select LINEST, under Usage Notes you will find a link titled "Additional Statistics". The linked content includes a map of the LINEST array. Use the INDEX function to access the element of the array that you are interested in. You may need to read the INDEX function description to know how to use it.
