Star Ratings -- From data source

Hi,
I have imported a data source to my page and it includes a number which I'd like to convert to stars (graphics). Is there a simple script that I can use to take the number being imported and convert it to a graphic? If the rating is a 2 I'd like to have two stars, etc ...
Thanks!

You could probably go 3 ways. Run a script after the merge, this would be the best.
For each page, get the number/integer of the star rating from the text box. Then have the script draw X number of image frames on the page where ever the rating needs to be, like 3 or 4 small square boxes. You'd have to manually determine the placement of box 1, box 2 etc. Then place a star graphic in each box.
Or you could also have the stars drawn as a polygon shape directly in InDesign, drawn as many times as needed.
Or draw just one box, long rectangle, and then have 5 images of star ratings, 1 star, 2 star etc. Based on the number, place the file name that begins with that number (ie "1-star.jpg").

Error while extracting data from data source 0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL, in RSA7

Hi Gurs,
I'm getting the below error while extracting data from data source 0RT_PA_TRAN_CONTROL, in RSA7. (Actullly this is IS Retail datasource used to push POSDM data into BI cubes)
The error is:
Update mode "Full Upload" is not supported by the extraction API
Message no. R3011
Diagnosis
The application program for the extraction of the data was called using update mode "Full Upload". However, this is not supported by the InfoSource.
System Response
The data extraction is terminated.
Procedure
Check for relevant OSS Notes, or send a problem message of your own.
Your help in this regd. would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
David.

Hi David,
I have no experience with IS Retail data sources. But as message clearly say this DS is not suppose to be ran in Full mode.
Try to switch you DTPs/Infopackages to Delta mode.
While to checking extraction in source system, within TA RSA3 = Extractor checker, kindly switch Update mode field to Delta.

Create a new dimension in business layer from Data source: text file on the web

Hi,
I have a text data source which is published every few hours that is accessible from a certain URL. I follow the instruction given in this http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-43144 - where it shows in great detail how to create the connection, data foundation as well as business layer to create a universe for this type of data.
All is well - I can use this universe in my WEBI doc and display the data.
However, in order for me to merge the data from this universe with another universe, I need to create new dimension based on the data from the text file. The new dimension value is simply the first 4 characters of the Subject found in the text file. The "Subject" dimension is of variant type: varchar.
Following the guide mentioned earlier, the connection is using SAP BO OpenConnectivity driver. And this driver limits severely the SQL statement that I can use to extract a substring of another string. Here's the screenshot of the SQl expression that I can use with this driver
After hours of searching, I cannot find any other connection driver for a text file that's published on a certain URL. The BO OpenConnection driver is the best that I could find.
So here are my problems
1. one of my data source is a text file published on a web
2. the only connection I can create does not allow me to create new dimension in the universe to create an important column "subject ID"
3. I can create the column in webi as a variable. But when I do so, I cannot merge it with existing dimension (webi not allowing to merge these 2 types). And without the merge, the flat file universe with my database universe can't be combined.
I'm using WEBI Rich client version 4.1 SP3 Patch 1. Build 14.1.3.1300
Is there any other idea that you can suggest without requiring to change the extracted data?
Thanks.
With warm regards

Hi Bala,
Were you able to find out a solution for the problem with uploading values for a variable from a text file on the web? I am confronted with the same request from users.
Thanks,

Error when extracting data from Data Source

Hi All,
I have a Generic datasource in BW which is based on a Function Module.When I am extracting the data from this source in RSA3 it is ending up in Run time error.
the error message is
The current ABAP program "SAPLYBWPU" had to be terminated because one of the
statements could not be executed.
and the error analysis is
You wanted to add an entry to table "\FUNCTION-POOL=YBWPU\DATA=GT_HIERTAB2", which you declared with a UNIQUE KEY. However, there was already an entry with the same key.
This may have been in an INSERT or MOVE statement, or within a
SELECT ... INTO statement.
In particular, you cannot insert more than one initial line into a
table with a unique key using the INSERT INITIAL LINE... statement.
Can anybody explain me how can I resolve this
Thanks

Error while loading data into PSA from data source

Hi Experts ,
I am loading purchase order history data from standerd datasource 0SRM_TD_CF into PSA using infopackage.However,whenevr I run infopackage,the call monitor shows the status as yellow.I monitored the process for half an hour but it never ended.I have verified following things from my side.
1.Checked whether datasource is properly replicated into BI system.
2.Checked if source system contains data.
3.Since i am loading transaction data,I have kept update as "initialize delta process"
Please let me know whether I am missing anything.
Regards,
Mandar.

Hi mandarha,
Do the following steps
1)Check the job log in source systems.
2)Check the Data Source in RSA3(Extracter checker) on Source systems side.give DS name press enter then execute,If there is no issue with DS,it will give pop-up with records.If it has any errors first rectify it and then load it again.
3)In details tab of IP,check whether extraction completed or not.
4)Are you running the IP with option "Intialse with data trasfer" or "Without data transfer"
If you running with data transfer and without data selection,usually it will take time based on the volume of historical data.(to find how many records it picks do the 2 step)
Hope this helps

Venkatesh.

ConnectionCacheName not read from data-sources.xml

I created a simple web application to test the use of the ConnectionCacheBean (from the jdbc 3.0 examples page). I read through the code and some other articles regarding data sources and noted that you "should" be able to set the connection cache name and caching enabled, as well as failover support, even in oc4j 9.0.4 and 10.1.2. I tried this (at least the first two), and it would NOT set the cache name.
The data-sources.xml entry was the same as in the one documented here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/newsletter/articles/oc4j_data_sources/oc4j_ds.htm
What gives?
Also, I tried to simulate the database going down - I killed all the sessions rather than doing a shutdown, but anyway... even with a connection cache property of validatelogin (i think that's the name) to true, and a refresh of invalid connections (they'd all be invalid if I killed them), it would only reactivate ONE SESSION. If I refreshed ALL Sessions, then it would do 9 of the 10 sessions (10 being my initial cache limit).
Any ideas?
I can post the code if that is an issue.

A response I got back from Frances Zhao regarding the two issues that I experienced was:
Issue#1: Cannot set the connectionCacheName via data-sources.xml
1. This is very likely because of an OC4J bug that affects the actual order of
    setting each <property> specified in data-sources.xml. The connection cache
    in OracleDataSource requires the cache-name property be set after the cache
    is enabled; but OC4J may not always follow this order, causing the name
    to be null. If you really need the cache name, you have to do it in the code
    for now.
Issue#2: Can't refresh the invalid connections
2. These are known issues in the Oracle JDBC driver in both 10.1.0.4 and
    10.2.0.1. The fix for the REFRESH_INVALID case will be in the next
    patch release for both 10.1.x and 10.2.x; the fix for the REFRESH_ALL
    case will come later.

Recover star ratings from old XML database?

Is there a way to recover the star-ratings of my music from an old iTunes XML database file?

Hi there,
I copied the whole entire iTunes folder into my music directory on my new mac (as I had my own account on his mac), and then once that was done I dragged and dropped this folder onto my iTunes icon.
It's imported playlists, but not star ratings.
Is there something I should have done before exporting my music onto my hardrive in the first place? I've read somewhere about exporting ratings or exporting playlists or something....
Cheers,

Restrict Values in Design Studio in chart from data source

Hi All, I have BW Query and I have created a data source that brings lets say 15 values. I only would like to show top 10 values from it. I do not want to restrict in BW query ,, can i still achieve this. The attached screenshot has like 15 values for example,, i only would like chart to populate top 5. How can i do this.. Thanks for your help

Hello Faisal,
Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to do this in the BEx query? Because conditions/exceptions from BEx query are supported SAP BusinessObjects BI4 - Supported BEx Query Elements
It seems to me that would be the easiest to meet your requirement.

Retrieving Photoshop star ratings from backup files

We held several years' worth of lots of photos on a Windows laptop in Photoshop Elements. When the hard drive crashed, I restored the files from our backup drive onto our new Macbook. I've lost the star ratings, which we were about to use to select photos for printing. Apologies for the lack of technical detail, I understand that you should save metadata with the files, but this was presumably not done at the time.
Many thanks, Naomi

This is the Photoshop forum and since Photoshop Elements is a separate and different program, the experts in that forum handle it better for you.

Fields missing from Data Source but displayed in RSA3

Hello Experts
I have an issue while finding for a field in the data source. As I am looking for some fields : MABST, MINBE, EISBE on BW Side but not found. When I llok the same fields in ECC Side in the table RSOSFieldmap, then I get these fields in 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR Data Source. In the same time , the fields are not available in the Data source on BW Side as well as on ECC Side(while goin thru RSA6). Also when I execute the RSA3 for the data source, I am getting the data in the Missing Fields. How it can be possible? Also plz let me know how can I make these fields available in Data Source.
I replicate the data source, also i looked for the hidden fields, but still not succeed.
Thanks in advance
Neha

Hello,
TO unhide the field,
Just Goto T.code RSO2 > press change button.> unhide the filds and --> Generate the Datasource
or
Goto RSA6 --> select the Datasource and --> press change button (pencil icon) --> unhide the filed --> Save and Generate the Datasource.
Try the above two option and check if it is working.
also go thru the below post

Importing star ratings from Canon's ImageBrowser

Does anyone know how to import star ratings assigned to photos
using Canon's ImageBrowser (5.8.0.10) software into Aperture?
I've tried importing a few photos with various ratings into Aperture 2.1 trial
but they appear unrated in Aperture. (Neither iPhoto nor Adobe Bridge
recognized the ratings either.)
I've done some investigation, comparing copies of the same image
with different star settings, and it appears ImageBrowser is recording
its rating in a 'WheR' resource in the resource fork of the image file.
Thanks

I started using ImageBrowser in 2001 (probably under OS 8.5), was underwhelmed with iPhoto's stability when it was introduced, so since I recently got a new Intel mac, I decided to investigate migrating my library of 20K photos to Aperture.

How to load data from data source to ODS

Hi all,
I am using BI 7.0.My requirement is to upload sales order item data in to the DSO(ods).Do I need to create info objects in ODS or by defalut r/3 fileds will come and fill the info objects when i assign my custom ODS.if i need to mailtain info objects in ODS plesae let me know what type of objects i need to maintian in keyfields,data fields and navigation attributs of ODS.
Thanks
Raj

hi raj,
u will have create infoobjects in BI corresponding to objects in source system.
create a data source for the source system.
go to proposal tab u will find fields listed in column.
u can also watch a perview also.
give ok
& next tab is fields tab where u can map the source and target objects .
u have a template option where u can assign a BI infoobject.
once assigned the source fields name gets converted into BI name & all properties of BI objects overwrites the source fields.
now for ODS.
u have key field & data field.
key fields usually has characteristics objects
data field may have characteristics & keyfigure as its component
navigation atributes u can deploy any attribute object here. providede this attribute has to be specified as navigation attributes in corresponding characteristics object.

Importing star ratings from PC

Hello,
I have a "legacy" problem that goes all the way to 1999: on my PC I used to create a subfolder with the "selected" pictures from a given event (selected to be printed or posted on my website). I did that before the age of Picasa, where stars or flags can do that for you, and I kept doing it until today.
Now I want to import my whole library, and retain my selections. When I import my library in iPhoto, it simply merges the folder in a single event.
Is there a way to star or flag these pictures (either on my PC, in the Finder or in iPhoto), so I can keep my selection by event ?
Many thanks !
Lili

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
When I import my library in iPhoto, it simply merges the folder in a single event.
By library do you mean your set of folders and subfolders? If your photos are in multiple folders, ie folder with subfolders, when you import them into iPhoto each folder will be imported as a separate Event. The subfolders will not be linked to its original container folder. You can do that later by creating virtual folders in iPhoto and adding albums to them as seen here. However you would have to create an album for each even by dragging the Event onto the Album heading in the left hand pane. Then you can add it to a folder. Folders can only contain albums, slideshows, calendars, etc. but not photos. Album can contain only photos.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Update Routine to populate 0VENDOR from either of the 2 data source fields

Hi,
I have a requirement to write an update routine for 0VENDOR based on the below logic :
Create routines to populated BW Info Object u201CVendoru201D (0VENDOR) based on the following logic:
IF field u201CVendoru201D (ITM_VENDOR_ID) is populated from data source 0BBP_SC_TD_1, THEN populate 0VENDOR with that value
ELSE IF u201CPreferred Vendoru201D (ITM_PROPVEN_ID) is populated from data source 0BBP_SC_TD_1, THEN populate 0VENDOR with that value
ELSE IF neither u201CVendoru201D (ITM_VENDOR_ID) or u201CPreferred Vendoru201D (ITM_PROPVEN_ID) are populated from data source 0BBP_SC_TD_1, then 0VENDOR = NULL
Can anyone help me in converting this logic into ABAP routine.
Thanks,
Suchitra

Hi Suchitra,
In the Transfer Rules ... You will be mapping each field then the mapping field click on the button with Triangle then you can see the which type you want.
Then select the routine and select the datasource fields (don't forget to select the both fields VENDOR and PROPITM)...
Then give a name to routine ...
and in the code just change the COMM_STRUCTURE to TRANSFER_STRUCTURE.
Then you can get this .... done..
Regards,
Ravi Kanth
