Stop conversion of E-value

Hey guys,
     This wasn't a problem before, but since I have updated to Flex 4.5. All my e-values are 0 when displayed but when passed from ColdFusion to Flex app they are in scientific notation. I have even tried to wrap the values in single quotes, hoping that they will be treated as String but the output is always Zero. Any way to stop this from happening. Results are being displayed in a sortable DataGrid and I understand that I will have to write a custom sort function but that another matter.
Process:
     Init search -> call to CF function
     CF runs a query, and creates a custom Struct (E-values are in Scientific notation)
     CF returns Struct to Flex (E-value are in Scientific notation, Verified in response tab of Network Monitor in Flash Player 4)
     Flex assigns event.result to ArrayCollection (Evalue displayed in Alert is Zero)
     ArrayCollection is assigned to DataGrid.dataProvider
     E-value displayed in DataGrid column is Zero
Thanks for your help (please excuse any grammer or spelling mistakes)
Jay

Hey guys,
I ran a quick test and turn out that if evalue passed it Xe-4 then value is displayed 0.0001 but if it -5 or higher value displayed in flex is always zero. Any help would help/pointer towards fixing this would be great. I am all out of ideas.

Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs is taking long time

Hi Experts,
Cube load is taking more than 7 hrs to complete for 6 million records. Max time is at Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Cube consists of 500 fields. Load is from DSO to Cube. DSO has 10 fileds with no SID flag check for activation. Remaining fields in the CUBE are pouplated looking in to other DSO's. Start and End routines are executing very fast. How to fasten Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs step. I need to load 15 million records daily as part of delta. any suggestions.
Thanks

Performance - Conversion of characteristic values to SID

Greetings:
Yesterday I load 556.000 record into an infocube.
No transformations of any kind. Direct assign for every infoobject. Very simple
It lasted 1 h 30m to complete the loading.
It started loading 7 datapackage of 50.000 records each.
I realized that 3 of those datapackage (#2, #4 and #7) lasted from 41:47min to 41:59min in the "Conversion of characteristic values to SID" task. The other 5 lasted ... seconds.
Any idea of that could be going on during this conversion?
I don't understant why some datapackages last so long and other don't.
Does anybody has any idea about this?
Thanks in regards.
Guillermo

Hi Daniel,
The SID generation is based upon the Dimension Table and Master data.
If you see the dimension table can be build with different types like:
one to many
many to one
many to many
one to one
So, if the dimension's for that datapacket data is many to many then it has to get all the relations and then it has to assign an SID.
If it is one to one then there will be no more work to be done by the system to assign the SID's
Hope you understood the back-end process.

Ravi Kanth.

Slow dataload into Infocube- Conversion of Characteristic values to SIDs

Hi All,
we are facing a slow delta load issue when loading from a DSO into an InfoCube ( approx 150,000 recs).
After checking the monitor found that
- The Conversion of Characteristic values to SIDs is taking time
- The Start Routine time is real quick ( in secs)
The underlying DSO is hugh and there is no SIDs Generation upon Activation flag set for it
Master data is loaded first and than we are loading the transaction data.
i've tried refreshing the stats of the Cube, Reduce the size of the data package,
Deletion of Indexes than Loading and recreation of Indexes, no joy at all.
Any comments and recommendations are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Natalie

Hi Natalie,
The problem for your slow delta load from DSO to cube is because the SIDs Generation upon Activation flag is unchecked at DSO level .
Becasue of which your activation is faster but your loading from DSO to cube will be slower as you only mentioned that SIDs are being generated .
One recommendation will be to switch on the property of the DSO SIDs Generation upon Activation flag .
Are there any secondary indexes also in DSO ?
You can try deleting them also during loading the data from DSO to cube .
I guess your change log table is also huge in this case . If possible we can think of deleting the log table also . Then for the new records let it get filled .
Hope the above reply was helpful.

Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Load Very slow

Hi Experts,
We have a slow load issue when loading from a Write-Optimized DSO into an InfoCube. 8 millon recs in 10 hours.
We check the start, end, and rules routines and every is ok but for all the package the load was very slow in the Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs.
Can any help me with this?
Thanks a lot,

Mapping conversion of source value 4448601.75 to target value 448601

Mapping conversion of source value 4448601.75 to target value 4448601 or source value 999999.99 to target value 999999
Here standard functions like round, floor, ceil..etc, will not work because they will convert source value 4448601.75 to 4448602 and source value 999999.99 to 1000000.
Also i may have blank or white spaces coming in front of the source value from R/3 side like _____999999.99 and i want the value at the target side as _____999999. Here _____ representing blank or white spaces.
How i will do the mapping, can someone help me out.
Thanks,
Ashish

No....! The floor function can be used. It returns the largest integer that is not greater than the passed value. However this will also trim the spaces.
So u can write a UDF that accept the number and substring till the decimal point and returns it.
Try this.. It works..
public String converv(String a,Container container)
return a.substring(0,a.indexOf('.'));

Conversion exits before value mapping in AIF

Hi All
I'm trying to use conversion exits before mapping in define value mapping, where I want to truncate leading zeroes in the source field before the value mapping is executed.
I'm using the conversion exit 'ALPHA' (internal->external) to achieve this, but the leading zeroes do not get truncated. Below is an example-
Conversion Exit: ALPHA
Data Element for conversion:
Direction: Internal->External
Source Value: 0000012345
Expected Value after conversion: 12345
Actual Value after conversion: 0000012345
A similar issue Error in reading a value from database table is noted here, however note 1892571 that is suggested does not seem to resolve the issue I'm facing.
Am I missing something here?
Regards
Chandra

Hi Glenn Bumanlag,
I think the values that you have given for source values (Agency and scheme)
and Target values (Agency and scheme) may be mismatching so kindly chek that...even i got the same error in the past..........
If you the this problem kindly change it accordingly and also refresh the cache once you that with this.........
Kindly follow the below mentioned link and check if you have followed these steps.

Conversion Error setting value ''{0}'' for ''{1}''

Hi
I have to populate a drop-down list on my page with the values coming from the DB.
JSF code:

</td>
processApplication bean:
public List<SelectItem> getExistingOwners() {
//existingOwners = this.getOwners();
try{
     List < SelectItem > existingOwners = new ArrayList < SelectItem > ( ) ;
     SelectItem si_0 = new SelectItem();
     SelectItem si_1 = new SelectItem();
SelectItem si_2 = new SelectItem();
     si_0.setValue("11");
     si_0.setLabel("sri");
     si_1.setValue("21");
     si_1.setLabel("ADAMS");
     existingOwners.add(si_0);
     existingOwners.add(si_1);
     logger.info("values in the list" +existingOwners.get(1).getValue());
          }catch(Exception e){

public List<SelectItem> getExistingOwners() should actually be a call to the DB to get the list.
But since i was getting exception I tried to hard code the list in the method itself.
But , I get this exception:

Earlier, I had a drop down list that was working perfectly fine.
But its values came from a Helper class and not the DB.
What is it that Iam missing or doing wrong?
Please help me.
Thanks.

Based on your example on the link that you referred to I tried to do this
fillSelectItems();
as the initialization block (I read what it means)
changed my getter method to
public List<SelectItem> getExistingOwners() { return existingOwners; }
private void fillSelectItems() {
this.existingOwners = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
try{
     existingOwners.clear();
     List test = this.getOwners();
     SelectItem[] myitem = new SelectItem[test.size()];
     for(int i=0;i<test.size();i++) {
     Object[] arrayOne = (Object[])test.get(i);
try{
     SelectItem tmp = new SelectItem();
     tmp.setLabel(arrayOne[0].toString()+(String)arrayOne[1]);
     tmp.setValue((Integer)arrayOne[0]);
     myitem[i] = tmp;
this.existingOwners.add(myitem);
}catch(Exception e){
          logger.debug(e.getCause());
          e.printStackTrace();
     }catch(Exception e){
          logger.debug(e.getCause());
          e.printStackTrace();
Basically, I moved what I had earlier in getter method I have it now in the fillSelectItems()
Butthen, I get a NullPointerException.

Periodic application, conversion on ytd value

Hi all,
I have SAP BPC 7.5.108 MS, I need to do a periodic application,but I would like to do a conversion applied on YTD value.
Do you know if it's possible in the business rules?
I know that it's possible, in the Ytd applciation, to apply the conversion on periodic value, would be very nice to do also the conversion applied on YTD values.
Thanks
Ciao
Chiara

Hi Chiara,
this is not possible by using the standard rules. However you should be able to achieve it by using an additional element in your flow dimension on which you (with a script) calculate the YTD value. Your conversion rule could then convert this amount and write the result onto the original flow.

Arnold

JSF: Conversion Error setting value

Anyone knows how to fix this? I got the following error when I tried to put 50 numbers in the dropdown list:
javax.servlet.ServletException: "{2}" Conversion Error setting value ''{0}'' for ''{1}''.
Here is the bean
     private String[] items=null;
     public String[] getItems() {
          items = new String[50];
          for (int i=0; i <50; i++){
               String va = String.valueOf(i);
               items= va;
          return items;
     public void setItems(String[] it) {
          items = it;
Here is the tag:
<h:selectOneMenu id="test" value="1">
     f:selectItems value="#{QuestionBean.items}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

f:selectItems value attribute must be a list of SelectItem objects.
Transform your items list and it'll work.

Conversion of characteristic values before displaying in Bex Analyzer

Dear all,
does anybody know whether it's possible to get influence on the manner in which a characteristic is embedded into an BEx Analyzer sheet (may be via user exit, function module exits or something else) .
In our project we have characteristics (describing production parameters) with numeric values which can't be used successfully with EXCEL AutoFilter functions because they are strings in EXCEL. Due to our data warehaouse design koncept it is not all right for us to store these values as key figures. So we are searching for methods to convert these string values into numeric values before we give them into the EXCEL sheet.
Lot of thanks for you in advance!
Dorothea Gebauer.

High Leo Gillian,
at first thank you very much for your answer. Unfortunately your information is not practicable for us. There are hundreds of characteristics, in the future there may be mor than two thousend, which have to be converted before they are embedded into the sheets. Therefore we need an automatically done conversion.
with best regards Dorothea Gebauer

File Content Conversion - Key Field Value

Hi Experts,
I am using File to Idoc scenario for my mapping. In the receiver Communication channel, I am using File Content Conversion. My scenario is as follows :
I have a recordset with Header and Line items with Key Field Indicator as 'H' and 'L'. In some cases, the value for this Key Field is coming in as something other than 'H' and 'L'. I need to throw an exception when this Key Field is not 'H' or 'L'.
In the 'Content Conversion' tab, my attributes are as:
Header_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'H' and Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'L'. Is there any more attributes that I need to add ?
Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Freddy.

>>multiple key field values in FCC configuration i.e Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = H or L
AFAIK it is not possible but lets wait for other experts to comment on this...
>>Can keyFieldInStructure (add, ignore) parameter help me in this case ?
No. this parameter is only used when you want to include key filed in ur XML structure(add) or not (ignore)...

Content Conversion- Same keyfield value for two different sub structure

Hi,
I have a scenario where the key field value for the 2 substructure of record structure is same.
MY XML structure is like this :
<documentName>
   <recordset>
<Header>
    <field-nameA1>
    <field-nameA2>
    <field-nameA3>
<ITM1>
   <field-nameB1>
   <field-nameB2>
   <field-nameB3>
<ROW1>
   <field-nameB1>
   <field-nameB2>
   <field-nameB3>
<ITM2>
   <field-nameB1>
   <field-nameB2>
   <field-nameB3>
<ROW2>
   <field-nameB1>
   <field-nameB2>
   <field-nameB3>
The sample text file is given below where line no. 3 and 5 are different substructure(For ROW1 and ROW2 respectively) with same keyfield value.
"HDR",399,"file",20050302,100642,3289
"ITM1",2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
"ROW",3,4,5,6
"ITM2",2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
"ROW",7,8,9,10
After content conversion I get a XML structure in which there is no ROW2 and all data within the fields of ROW2 are put under ROW1 as the key field values are identical.
In the records only the first field is constant (e.g. ROW).
How to handle such a scenario?
Regards
Satish Chauhan

Unless you can somehow expand the key, I don't know that this is possible. The key implies uniqueness - and in your case, unfortunately, it isn't. Is there any way to edit the structure to make it more unique for you? Do you have any control or ability to change that?
Maybe if you add unique keys in your mapping, you can strip them off with content conversion on the way out using the parameter keyFieldInStructure=ignore?

Precision loss - conversions between exact values and floating point values

Hi!
I read this in your SQL Reference manual, but I don't quite get it.
Conversions between exact numeric values (TT_TINYINT, TT_SMALLINT, TT_INTEGER, TT_BIGINT, NUMBER) and floating-point values (BINARY_FLOAT, BINARY_DOUBLE) can be inexact because the exact numeric values use decimal precision whereas the floating-point numbers use binary precision.
Could you please give two examples: one where a TT_TINYINT is converted to a BINARY_DOUBLE and one when a TT_BIGINT is converted into a DOUBLE, both cases give examples on lost precision? This would be very helpful.
Thanks!
