Summarizing data under specific groups

Post Author: Wendy
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi. Crystal Reports newbie. Would like to add a print screen to show my problem, but will try to explain instead. Why does the report list every record under a grouping when all the values are the same. I don't need a whole bunch of names listed under each group heading when they all have the same value. I am working with tables that have hundreds of records. I certainly don't want to see them all. Am trying to replace onerous excel/pivot table lookup process with crystal reports. Am I trying to do the impossible?

Hi Patrick. Thanks for responding. Okay...followed your directions now I have blank spaces where the data used to be (and still is, but is hidden). And one of my fields won't 'suppress' even though they are duplicates.

Problem in summarizing data in the group level

I have four groups namely
i) Year Case opened.
ii) Month Case opened
iii) Case Status
iv Case Severity
In the details section there are few details for the report to show namely Case Severity (ie., Level 1, Level2 etc) and Case Status (ie., Opened, Closed and Pending).
In the Case Severity Level i am displaying the count. Till now everything is fine.
Now, a statistics for the month has to be added. I haved the fields in the Group Footer of Month Case Opened.
I need to calculate the total Case Severity of Level 1 in opened status and total of Level 2 in opened status and so on..
Only the last Case Severity value total is shown correctly in statistics of the month.
Please let me know if there is any suggestions on this.
Thanks in Advance.

No. I havent used.
I tried using a cross tab and i am getting the correct value. But i wanted to use the same logic of crosstab in formula because in crosstab it is showing only the values available in that group.
What i needed is, even if the many case status description not able for a group it should display all the name and the corresponding value should be zero in that case.
Hope i tried to explain the problem properly. Pls let me know your comments.

Is update approved for specific group via powershell?

Hello,
I have a script that auto approves updates based on release date for specific groups. The script checks to see if the update has already been approved (e.g. isApproved) and either skips it if it's already been approved or approves it for my specific group
(e.g. $update.approve("install",$wsus_group)). The problem I'm running into is if I approve Update1 for GroupA, then later check Update1's isApproved to see whether or not I need to approve it for GroupB, Update1's isApproved is $true and therefor
my script skips approving it for GroupB. I've checked the update's object and I don't see a multi-valued var for groups that its been approved for. I've started to poke around with other
Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration namespaces but I don't see one that has the info I'm looking for.
So, how can I view what updates have been approved for GroupA vs GroupB?
Thanks!

Hi Joey,
If you want to approve updates to multiple groups, and also want to check if the updates have been approved to the groups, please check the script below:
This can examine one computerGroup and find updates not approved for one or multiple other computer groups.
$serverName="localhost"
$targetComputerGroup="BaselineGroup"
$checkForMissing="MissingGroup1,MissingGroup2"
[void][reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration")
$wsus=[Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::getUpdateServer($serverName,$false)
$computerGroup=$wsus.GetComputerTargetGroups()|ForEach-Object -Process {if ($_.Name -eq $targetComputerGroup) {$_}}
$UpdateScope=New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope
$UpdateScope.ApprovedStates="Any"
$updateScope.ApprovedComputerTargetGroups.Add($computerGroup)
$Approvals = $wsus.GetUpdateApprovals($UpdateScope)
#At this point we have all of the updates assigned to the $targetComputerGroup
$report= @()
write-host "Querying for all Updates approved for $targetComputerGroup"
foreach ($Approval in $approvals) {
$record=""|Select-Object ComputerGroup,UpdateName, UpdateID
$record.ComputerGroup=$wsus.GetComputerTargetGroup($Approval.ComputerTargetGroupID).Name
$record.UpdateName=$wsus.GetUpdate($Approval.UpdateID).Title
$record.UpdateID=$wsus.GetUpdate($Approval.UpdateID).ID.UpdateID
$report +=$record
#Now group the results by UpdateName
$GR=$report|group -Property UpdateName
$CheckForMissing=$CheckForMissing.Split(",")
foreach ($entry in $gr) {
$groups=@()
foreach ($g in $entry.Group) {
$groups += $g.ComputerGroup
foreach ($missing in $checkForMissing) {
if ($groups -Contains $missing) {}
else{
New-Object PSObject -Property @{
Name = $entry.Name
UpdateID = $entry.Group[0].UpdateID
GroupMissing = $missing

I hope this helps.

Ist group is on Business Area
2nd Group is on Cost Element(under business Area)
and (YTD- Amount) Across Business Area and Cost Element.
Problem: I am unable to get correct summarized amount for business area.(which should be sum of all cost elements under specific business area)
PS: I have done hireachial grouping as mentioned for SAP-BW practise.
And also tried to apply all summarized formulas with no result.
But iam unable to trace why it is happening.

How do I enable "Data under cursor"?

Hi all,
I just started playing around with the new Au CS6, like it a lot so far! I've had good luck getting all the little tweaks I liked from Au 3 working except this one small thing which to many may seem unnecessary, but I have found to be very useful in specific instances.
Using Au 3, in the status bar at the bottom of the screen there are various data displayed such as 'Sample Format', 'File Size', 'Free Space', and the one I am struggling to find in CS6, 'Data Under Cursor'. With this, anywhere I placed the cursor on a spectrogram I might be looking at in Au it will give me the readout of exact Hz value at that spot in the status bar (for example: -21.6 dB @ 1:22:021, 1362Hz). I cannot find how to turn on or view this datum in CS6. If there's someone out there who knows if I can still do this in the new version, or a workaround I could use to get something similar in Au CS6, I'd love to hear about it.
Thank you!

I got it working since, I had to go into the rte player app and enable cellular streaming there. It wasn't anywhere in general settings where I was initially looking. Thanks anyway.

Replacing Home Space with a specific Group Space.

Hi,
We have a Webcenter Spaces 11.8 environment.
We are trying to completely bypass the home space and take the user to a specific space.
While this is possible to do it through the initial redirection based on application/enterprise role, some re-directions are causing the user to land in the home space.
Also, the user can get to the home space pages by typing in the url. We want to restrict the user from viewing the home space altogether and replace it completely with our group space.
Approach1 : Page Links -
We tried to bring in pages from the group space into the home space navigation model as page links. Even if the group space is public, we cannot link to its pages as we cannot see the pages in the page link popup. Only home space pages are shown. Is this expected? How do we bring in pages from a specific group space into the home page navigation?
Approach 2: Group Space Pages Query -
We can bring all the pages from the "Default Navigation Model" of the group space into the home space navigation model. However, the landing page upon login needs to be a visible page in the home space. How do we get the user redirected to a specific page in a group space and make that node as selected once the user logs in.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Restricting end user to one specific group with anyconnect

Hello all
I just started configuring AnyConnect with ASA 5520 that uses Cisco SecureACS to pass radius authentication. I configured two profiles with different split tunnel restrictions and what I discovered is that when the client connects to the ASA, they are provided a choice of these two groups (I guess there is no way to restrict this) and I can log into either one with any user account. How do I restrict this so that the user can only use one profile? Currently users capable of VPN would be placed in one specifc AD group so that is what SecureACS checks. Is there a sample configuration guide to handle multiple profiles with different levels of access?

Alternatively, you can use Radius authorization to place user into a specific group-policy:
- Configure the Group-Policy attribute under Radius to be OU=
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa91/configuration/vpn/vpn_extserver.html#wp1605475
On the ASA, just configure 1 tunnel-group, and depending on the authentication, the user will be placed into the correct group-policy specified under the ACS server.

Hierarchical Tree Data Query/Record Group Question

I need help with Hierarchical Forms right now. I'm currently trying to implement a hierarchical tree to display the different items in different categories. I have been reading up on it for the past few days, and i do not understand a few things.
What is the difference between a data query and record group? they seem the same to me.
How does the XX = prior XXX work? i understand that this is what connects the parent to the child.
How do you determine what depth the node is? its done in the record group/data query, but how do i decide what level it is dynamically?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks! I am unable to create a table specifically for the tree because i am using tables that have been ported live and are in use. My question about levels is how do I know which depth the node is. For example, i have a category called Information Technology and a category item called Business Informatics. I want to know how to decide that the Category(information technology) is on level 1 and the Item(business informatics) is on level 2.
Information Technology
|_
Business Informatics
And i do know how the Connect By XX = prior XXX works in the data query/record group.
Thanks for your help!

Statistics under each group

Hi, Background: I am querying a table which gives me a list of every people manager in the organization and their direct reports. I am able to do this because of a couple of fields, namely EmpID and MgrID. I loop through each level in the heirarchy and it spits out a list of employees for that manager. It works well and does what I want it to do. The lists that are produced show the employee's first and lastname and Completion date. If there is a date in the completion date column then that means that the employee completed the online course that is mandatory throughout the company.
My question is this. How can I get statistics under each group? For example, under each group I would like to list the following: Total number of employees within the group, number of employees completing the course, and finally the completion rate which is number of completions divided by total number in group. Thank you very much. I have attached my code in a cfm file.

Hi,
Use the SQL aggregate functions,
http://www.sql-tutorial.com/sql-aggregate-functions-sql-tutorial/
And if you want to have your statistics as a graphical representation, you can use CF's <cfchart> tag,

Showing average data summarized 'Date type' (Sunday, Monday, etc.) wise

Greetings Everyone,
I'm trying to create a chart that shows data averages summarized date type wise.
Background and the specific requirement is as follows:
The application from which I fetch data is a visitor management system. User is prompted to select a date range and I want to show how many visitors have visited the office, in a day type (Sunday, Monday, etc.) breakdown.
For instance, if the date range includes four Mondays and the total number of visitors that have visited on Mondays for this period is 120, then the average for Monday would be 30. Likewise, I want to summarize data for all the seven days of a week.
I have tried different cross-tab options but haven't succeeded yet,
Help would be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Lakshan.

hi Lakshan,
the answer depends on whether or not your data is missing any dates...i.e. if you've got a Monday that doesn't actually show up in your report (but is still within the date range), do you still count that? if so, that makes things a bit more difficult. if this is the case then let us know.
if your data has no gaps, then here's what you can do:
1) create a new formula called DaysOfWeek with syntax like
weekdayname(dayofweek({your date field}))
2) Insert a Chart and for the On Change Of use the DaysOfWeek formula
3) click on the formula in the On Change Of and press the Order button...use a Specified Order and add all of the week day names in by the order that you want
4) add your visitors field to the Show Value and Set the Summary Operation to Average

Script to logout users from a specific group, when queries are long

Hi,
I have a requirement that users from a specific group need to be logged out, when they are running queries for more than say 20 mins.
I could get the list of users from that group and could get the list of active sessions on the application, but I get too many info there like connection IP request state etc. and if I spool it to a file, output is not very easy to format to select what's required, rather I have to write lot of shell scripting to format the file.
So my question here is to know if there's a MAXL script or any other method through which I can just get only couple of columns from the "display session on application <app name>" that I require for my work like username, session ID, DB connect time, and request time.
Thanks!!

There are a number of ways to accomplish this, but AFAIK none of them is straightforward like writing a script to accomplish the task.
This could be accomplished quite readily with the Essbase API.
Unfortunately, when Maxl outputs tabular data such as what comes out after DISPLAY SESSION ALL; - it comes out as all one big string with lots of spaces.
So to parse that output you would need to use a language that can tokenize the text into a collection and parse that for the users.
Then you need to do the same sort of thing after running DISPLAY USER IN GROUP ALL; (or instead of all, use a specific group name);
Then run ALTER SYSTEM LOGOUT SESSION BY USER <parsed_username>;
What would be ideal (hello Oracle... <wink> ) is a MAXL command ALTER SYSTEM LOGOUT SESSION BY GROUP <GroupName>;
The way I would approach this would be to write a little utility that does exaclty what you seek:
- Scan the current session periodically (say, once every 5 mins)
- for each user that belongs to group(s) <group>(<group>...)
- if user has an open query running longer than n minutes, kill the user request.
This way you're not kicking people, your just taking back resources. Of course you can be more aggressive and code it to kick the user by forcefully ending (invalidating) his session too.
I can give you a hand with this offline if you want.

Why are my contacts under the group Professional?

My contacts have always been disappearing whenever I'd restore my phone/iPad, and I never knew why until a few days ago. It turns out that ever since I've been making contacts from who knows how long ago- my contacts have been saved under a group called "Professional."
I don't know what that group would be other than my email that I labeled Professional. Which, I don't understand why my contacts would be saved on that account, I only use it for email and never told my contacts to save to it. Also, I can't find any way to switch it to iCloud or even my sim cars. It's really annoying because I am often switching to a different iPhone or fresh restore and it stinks having my contacts unorganized. It's a mess.
So anyway, I'm wondering how do I move the contacts from Professional to iCloud. I'd like to organize my contacts as much as possible and right now it's just the super opposite. There's Facebook causing duplicate contacts and it makes everything complicated- but that's a different story.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello Bobbert1yBobby
If the contacts are on your iPhone and they are separated out with on your iPhone and then iCloud, then all you need to do is turn off iCloud contact syncing. It will ask to delete or keep the data; you will want to keep the data. After that then turn the syncing back on and it will merge everything to iCloud for contact syncing. If you are using Exchange to sync the other contacts, then they are kept separate. Check out the second article for more info on that and resolving duplicates if there are any.

Is update not approved for a specific group via powershell.

My apologies in advance for asking a similar question to the one I asked two months ago,
is update approved for specific group via powershell? I thought I had this covered, but as I've found time to continue to work on this project I see that it does not.
I have a script that iterates through updates and if the release date is older than 30 days and they have not already been “Approved for Install” or “Approved for Removal” for a specific group it approves them. I am currently faced with the dilemma that
when an update is set to “Not Approved” for the specific group I’m working on it does not come across in my group’s approvals and there for I cannot detect its current state to know if I should approve it. In other words, I don’t want to approve an update
that I set to not approved for a specific group.
I am currently achieving all this so far by connecting to my WSUS server and getting any and all updates via $all = $wsus.GetUpdates(). I Then get my group’s approved updates via $groupApproved = $wsus.GetUpdateApprovals($GroupScope) where ApprovedStates
= "Any" and ApprovedComputerTargetGroups.Add($current_wsus_group). While iterating through $all I grab updates that are older than 30 days and check to see if the updateID exists in my $groupApproved. If it does not, I approve the update. Like I
said before, an explicitly unapproved update for my group does not show up in my $groupApproved. I understand it’s because of my GetUpdateApprovals($GroupScope) being just that and only getting approved for install or uninstall, but even when I try to simply
GetUpdates($GroupScope) I am still not returned explicitly unapproved updates. Below is a screen shot of what I mean by explicitly setting an update to unapproved for a group. I’ve read up on
ApprovedStates and possible enumerated values and it does include "NotApproved" defined as "Includes updates that have not been approved or declined.".
Hope all that makes sense, thanks for the help.

So, I've decided to go about this a different way. Rather than getting all updates and comparing them to approvals via a scope of updates for my specific group (which includes all actions but Not Approved), I am going to look at specific approvals for each
update and see if there is a match for my group. A simplfied version of this is below.
$AnyAllUpdates = $wsus.GetUpdates()
foreach ($udpate in $AnyAllUpdates)
if ($update IsNOTDeclined IsNOTSuperseded LegacyNameNOTIA64 CreationDateLTDATE yada yada yada)
# get the approvals for this udpate as they relate to my group
$uApprovals = $update.GetUpdateApprovals() | ?{$_.ComputerTargetGroupId -eq $wsus_group.Id}
if ($uApprovals)
if ($uApprovals.action -eq "Install")
# do nothing, the udpate was approved for install
elseif ($uApprovals.action -eq "Uninstall")
# do nothing, the update was approved for uninstall
elseif ($uApprovals.action -eq "NotApproved")
# do nothing, the udpate was not approved for install
else
# since there was no specific action then it must be an inherited not approved from teh parent group
# approve the update!

Sync only specific groups for contacts mobileme on iphone

How do I only sync specific contact groups via mobileme on my iphone 3G?

With over 4000 contacts in my Address Book this is an important issue for me.
I am currently syncing my all my contacts via MobieMe having set up 20 or so Groups in address book. I have split my contacts amongst the Groups which makes it easier to sort/search on my iphone. It is also a **** of a lot quicker to search for a name in a group than looking for it amongst 4000 entries in 'All Contacts'
Some of my Groups change on a daily or weekly basis. For instance if I have a list of people that I know I want to call during the day, one group is called simply 'Calls', other groups my relate to Key Contacts and Key Projects, people that I am currently working with. When I job is done , I remove them from that Group but they remain in their Sector Group.
I found a App called ABContacts which displays the Groups, but also adds either the contact name or Organisation name beneath the key data. Handy
The only way to actually select specific groups is to sync your contacts with iTunes and select the groups that appear in the Sync Window. To do this you must first switch off Contact syncing with MobileMe on the iPhone. Make sure you are uptodate on MobileMe before you do this and back up your iPhone prior to doing this as you will lose all your Contact info of your phone prior to syncing Contacts with iTunes/AB
Hope that helps
Regards
Dewi
