Text Variables - possible use metadata of the document itself?

When using text variables, is it possible to pull the metadata from the document itself (as opposed to a placed image, etc.)?
Thanks,
Kristin.

If the title of the document was the same as the file name, you could use variables:
A second way is more manual. You could use the Section Marker field in Numbering & Section Options. You'd have to enter the title in the field. Then on the Master Page, place a text frame, and choose Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Section Marker.
Best,
Steve

Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster

Creating Text Variables to use in BEx Broadcaster OR How to Broadcast reports (Excel output format) and dynamically generate each Excel file name
Hello,
I'm new into posting to this forum, but I always come here when I need some answers and I find them almost everytime.
But now I couldn't find a solution for my problem so I decided that maybe you can help me.
I'm using BEx Broadcaster (I'm working on a SAP BW 7.0, SP17) to broadcast to SAP Portal some Excel files generated from a query.
I use Filter Navigation, because the query provides me with information regarding Sales Orders from all my customers and I need to broadcast an Excel file per customer. This is working perfectly, meaning, with this query I put the Broadcaster generating an Excel file per Customer.
The problem is that I needed that each Excel file had a different name on it.
For example, for Customer1 the Excel file name should be something like Customer1_SalesOrder.xls, for Customer2 it should be Customer2_SalesOrder.xls and so on.
At the present, the Broadcaster generates each Excel file using the technical name of the Query that originated the file. You can use some stardard text variables that broadcaster has available, but these standard text variables don't solve my problem. I needed to create my own Text Variables so I could have the Customer ID on the file name.
Can someone give me a light on this?
Points are obviously awarded.
Thanks,
Cristina

Hi All,
I have a similar requirement, where I publish my reports on to the SAP PORTAL KM folders.
In my broacast setting for the web templates, I have the fisrt tab called
TARGET in PORTAL
File Name : ReportXX MONTHLY_<MONTH_ID> (F4) List
Currently I use the sys variable <MONTH_ID> which gives me the curr month;
My requirement is
If the report is run in the first week of the month, I want to generate a filename_PREVIOUS MONTH (label) and
if the report is run between 7th-30th of the month then to generate a filename_CURRENT MONTH (label)..
On BI.7 POTAL is it possible using some exit variables instead of the system variable which are given in the F4 List.
If so where do I create the exit variable in BW backend or the PORTAL itself so that I can access it from the F4list of of the filename column.
Thanking you in advance for you time.

Cannot Get Text Variable to Read Metadata

Hi,
I am having an issue loading XMP Metadata into a text variable. I have tried the following procedure on two computers and no result (Windows 7, InDesign 5.0 and 5.5)
Here is the basic procedure:
1. Create a new InDesign Document.
2. Navigate to FILE > FILE INFO
3. When the XMP data appears, place the word "Test", “Test1”, “Test 2”, and “Test 3” in the Document Title, Author, Author Title, and Description fields and push OK. See Screenshot.
4. Make a text box.
5. Place the text insert cursor in the text box then go to the menu and open TYPE> TEXT VARIABLES > DEFINE.
6. Once the dialog box opens, select NEW...
7. Name the New Text Variable "Author" and select "METADATA CAPTION" for TYPE: and "AUTHOR" for METADATA: then push OK.
8. Press the INSERT button to place the new "Author" text variable into the text box.
Every time I get a <no intersecting link> indication. Can someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong here?

Thanks Steve, you are right on. Was hoping that the Metadata information could be absorbed into the file somehow like you can do in MS Word with the document properties for Title, Date, Revision ect. I now will change my plans and I will put the document information on the Title Page and cross-link it to my headers and footers.
Thanks for the help.

Is it possible to find all the documents for a serial number ?

Hi all,
I'm using materials with serial numbers in complaints.
Is it possible to find all the documents for this serial number ?
Is it possible to check if this serial number is allready in use in any document ?

Hi Mengelkemier,
I think you're posting in the wrong forum. This forum is intended to be used to discuss virtualizing Exchange Server on the the vSphere platform. The question you're asking seems to be a mobile device specific question.
You would probably get better visibility posting on a forum dedicated to your particular device. And for what it's worth, some devices will let you sync all of your email and others will only let you sync a certain amount. It's dependent on the device you're using.
Good luck in finding your answer.

I figured it out
in your select if you want to group your output by say Organization_id change your select in your burst file to the following

Text Variable Where-used?

Hi, Can't seem to figure out how to do a where-used on a text variable? Anyone?
Thanks!

Kenneth,
First go to table RSZGLOBV and find your variable by the VNAM field. Get the ID of your variable and run the Function Module RRM_SV_VAR_WHERE_USED_LIST_GET. This will give you a list of queries that use the variable.
Thanks,
Jeff

Text variable to be removed from the description on Roles in Bex Analyzer

Dear Experts,
I am using BI 7.0. I have text variables in the query description. When the queries are assigned in Roles, they are displayed alongwith the text variable. I need to change the description of the query only in Roles. I am successful in doing this change on portal. But, in Bex Analyzer, I tried changing the description of these queries in Roles, but still they are not changed. Strangely, I can see the new descriptions in Roles when executed through RSRT.
Can anyone please help me in resolving my issue.
Thanking you in advance,
Best Regards,
Pradnya Rane

Hi Parth,
Yes, I mean in 'Open Query' option. This is working in BEx 3.5, but not in 7.0.
Is this some missing functionality in BI 7.0?

Is it possible to publish a PDF to the web and have the viewers be able to click on links within the document. I'm asking because I found a PDF file WebQest online and it allowed me to click on the links. How did they do that?

What is your operating system?
Can you open that PDF with a text editor and check that the first four characters are '%PDF'.

How do you highlight text in Pages for iPad? The document I want to create and highlight is a pages document

I am trying to create a document in Pages for iPad and want to highlight various bits of text but can not find a function in the inspector for this. Can anyone help,please?

Hi stuartdj,
I'm not finding a way to highlight text as one can do with iBooks (hold and swipe for black text, background yellow for example).
One option is to actually color the text itself.
Select the text, then in Style tools, tap the Font name at the top which shows the Text Options sheet where there is a Color option. Would changing the font color to Red, Green or Purple accomplish your goals?
If you do want black text on a colored background (highlighted) it would need to be text in a text box where you can change the fill (background) color. Style, Style Options, Fill. But this is not inline text and doesn't flow like just coloring the font itself.

How can I open textedit documents using Word without the document looking like gobbledygook?

Word documents from other computers open in Textedit on my macbook pro (10.6.8). When I try to open them with Word -- by using "open with" or changing the preference in "get info" or just by dragging the file to the Word icon on my dashboard -- I get a window asking what I want to convert the file from. No matter what I choose, the documents open as a jumble of symbols. Is there any way to change this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

That's true, and that's what I've been doing, but I use dropbox to work on documents on different computers, and pasting things into new documents makes it more difficult to keep things organized. I'm hoping there's a way to created a Word document on my macbook air, put it in my dropbox folder, and then open it as a Word document on my macbook pro. Is that feasible?

Suggestion on using the variable index used in prompting the user

import java.util.*;
public class CaseOne {
// main(): application entry point
public static void main(String[] args) {
//define necessary data structures (Step 1)
int count = 5; // number of elements to average
double value; // handle input
double total = 0.0; // the running total initialized to 0
int index =1; // the index of the number read,
used in prompting the user//
// index prompt - adds the index value to prompt and increments index
Scanner stdin = new Scanner(System.in); //input stream
// process inputs to determine input total (Step 2)
System.out.print("Enter an integer number: ");
value = stdin.nextInt();
total += value;
System.out.print("Enter an integer number: ");
value = stdin.nextInt();
total += value;
System.out.print("Enter an integer number: ");
value = stdin.nextInt();
total += value;
System.out.print("Enter an integer number: ");
value = stdin.nextInt();
total += value;
System.out.print("Enter an integer number: ");
value = stdin.nextInt();
total += value;
// compute average (Step 3)
double average = total / count; // the target computation
// display average (Step 4)
System.out.println("The input average is " + average);
} // end method main
} // end class CaseOne

I have a new stick so I'll give the OP a prod with it.
If you want to do the same thing numerous times, what should you use instead of repeating your code over and over again?

Is it possible to create a Text Variable that uses text from a structure?

The question is this -
I have created structure which consists of 4 high-level nodes. Each level one node contains a different number of level 2 nodes. Is it possible to use the text from these nodes in replacement path variables?
Example, my structure levels are:
GS
SA
OOI
COGS
If a user drills into COGS, I'd like to display the text "COGS" in the header but I have not found a way to capture it. From what I can tell, the variable editor only allows Characteristics and their text/key or user input text. I don't see an option for Structure level/node text.
Anyone know if this is even possible?
Thanks!

HI!,
I think you should separate programming for AS3 and for FLEX,
this is beacuse they both use different class packages. If you want
your classes to be FLEX compatible you need to extend them from
Flex Objects and not from AS3 Objects.
In sum, if you want your class to be processed by let's say
the application object then you need to extend it from
mx.core.UIObject.
This is because there are lots of methods that FLEX uses to
place your class on the screen that are not used by normal AS3
applications.
