Time Characteristics: MTD and Yesterday (How to adjust for different times

Hi,
I have this report which runs daily without any user input based on
Current Calendar Day (SAP Exit)-1 [for column 1 on the report]
and
Current Calendar Month [for column 2 on the report]
If today I want to run this report for the Jan 20, 2006 how best can this be done without the need for writing ABAP code?
i.e. I want on the report, column 1 as Yesterday(Jan 19, 2006)
and column 2 MTD (Jan 20, 2006)
Any help?

Dear Amanda,
The restriction on key figures is done in a similar way as the restriction on characteristics.
I guess that you have a characteristic 0CALDAY "Calendar Day", which is restricted by variable 0DAT. By this you have defined the subset of your InfoProvider, on which you want to report.
Now, add the key figure which you want to restrict by a fixed date. Select "Edit" from the key figure's context menu and drag 0CALDAY upon the key figure. Restrict 0CALDAY by "January, 29th 2006". Add the same key figure a second time and restrict it by variable 0CALMONTH. Add the same key figure a third time and restrict it by the fixed time frame "January, 1 2006" to "January, 20th 2006".
This should work as you intended. If you have more than one key figure which has to be restricted in this way, it could be more appropriate to create a second structure with the above mentioned restrictions instead of restricting the key figures directly.
Greetings,
Stefan

How to adjust for different numbers of components on a JTabbedPane

Hi,
I have five panels on a JTabbedPane. On one, I have six components, with each being an array of five (in other words, I have six "columns" of five "rows" each). On another pane, I have only two components (not arrays). I understand that the JTabbedPane will be as large as the largest panel. In my case, the panel with two components is as large as the one with the arrays and the two components take up the entire panel. I have tried to adjust this by using the createGlue(), createHorizontalStrut(), and createVerticalStrut() methods, but it is somewhat "ugly." I am also using the Box layout. Is there a better way to do this? I have included some of my code for reference; (sorry for its length; I am including the code for only two of the five panels). Any assistance would be appreciated.
TIA,
Jeff
Here is the code that creates the panel with the "columns" and "rows":

Adjust for daylight time saving different for just one user

I justed started a new job and I am introduced in a new Windows Terminal Server environment. We use Windows 2003 Server, Exchange 2003, a Sun Fire V210 server and SunRay 270 TC's. The SUN part is totally new for me, so forgive me ;-)
We have one user that has an Outlook (2003) problem. She saw that after the 28th of March, when the summertime here in the Netherlands is active, her appointments are shifted for an hour. I checked as a Windows administrator the Windows TS she is working on and it has the correct TZ(GMT+1, Amsterdam) and the option for Adjust Daylight Time Saving is enabled.
Then I checked with her in Outlook, whether this setting is reflected correctly. In Outlook I went to Tools, options, Calendar Options, Time Zone and the checkbox 'Adjust for Daylight Time Saving' is disabled! That is strange since this should be the setting of the server and as I already wrote, this is correct. Ofcourse therefor she can't enabled it here. I let her login with her id card on a different TC 270 client and the same problem there. Than I started on my laptop a remote desktop connection to the Windows TS and we checked again. The strange thing is, now the option is enabled and all her appointments are correct after the 28th of March.
We have checked with all the other users and nobody else has this problem. We have deleted her Windows profile totally but this didn't solve it.
Since it only happens when using TC's, I reckon the problem is with the Sun TC's or the SunRay Server.
Does anybody has a clue what this could be? The Sun Fire doesn't save user specific information, does it?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards,
Olaf

Ok, now I am a bit confused. I saw the page http://wikis.sun.com/display/SRWC2dot2/Home and looking at that, it seems the SRWC software is Windows software, We have not installed any Windows software from SUN. So, also no SRWC software on Windows. I thought the SRWC was a software component on the SunRay server?
Maybe I did not explain the problem correctly, but the we have several thin clients, SunRay 270's. They are connected to the Sunray Server, Sun Fire v210. This server redirects them to our Windows Terminal Server. We use Exchange Server 2003 on our Windows 2003 Servers.
We have one user with the problem. She puts in her ID card in the TC, she is redirected to our WTS, she logs in in the Window login prompt. She starts Outlook and sees in there with Tools, Options, Calendar Options, Time Zone, that the Adjust Daylight Time Saving is disabled. Although this is on the WTS server enabled, system wide.
When she doesn't use a TC but starts a remote desktop connection from a Windows machine to the WTS, it works fine.
Again I apologise for my lack of knowledge on the SUN side of this.

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can it be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can this numbert be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

How to calculate for diffrent time zones

I have a simple clock that shows the current time using the
get.Time command. My problem is this. I'm in the central time zone.
So to calculate Pacific time I subtract 2 hours from hours like so
"hours = mydate.getHours() - 2 ;" So if it is 2pm central it
should be 12pm in the pacific. Doing my method will show that it is
12am when it is not. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance. Below
is my code. I'm hoping that with a fix I can do the same for other
time zones.
Attach Code
mydate = new Date();
seconds = mydate.getSeconds();
minutes = mydate.getMinutes();

day = mydate.getDay();

Hi
When you use any of the Date functions in Flash its
referenced to the LOCAL SYSTEM Time/Date.
So when you have a visitor in London it shows their time
LOCAL SYSTEM (PC) time and in Sydney it shows their LOCAL SYSTEM
(PC) time etc, etc. No need to calculate anything.
Hope it helps

Recording picking up click/clack shoe background noise - how to adjust for voice only.

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to help me.
Today, as a beginner to Adobe Audition, I wanted to record a video with backup audio for my students.
So, I plugged my wireless mic into the computer, opened adobe audition, selected new, and then hit record. Nice & easy.
However, when I played it back, the sound of my shoe going clip/clop on the floorboards as I was walking around, was picked up (and very well too!).
How do I change the settings so the software/microphone only pics up my voice and not other noises?
Thanks,
Jane.

I've used other audio programs before and this hasn't happened. I started using audition as a recommendation from a friend as he said it would produce a cleaner sound.
Thank you for your time.
Audition has many merits and many abilities but "producing a cleaner sound" isn't one of them. The sound you get is determined by a mix of your microphone and the audio interface used to input this into your computer. Audition simply records the data handed to it by your mic and interface with no additional processing whatsoever.
Most clip on lav mics have an omni pickup pattern which means they pick up equally from every direction. This makes them fairly susceptible to room acoustics--a harder floor or barer wall could be part of your culprit.

How to adjust for distorted colors printing on HP 8500 A909g.

How to report with different time zone dynamically based on user's account?

Hello
I am wondering is there a way to change the report's date & time data based on user's locale setting in OBIEE?
Let's say the user log in to OBIEE with eastern time zone setting. The data that's in the database is storing a transaction of $400 at 1am Pacific time.
So when this user run a query which does something like 'select date, transaction, amount from date, transaction, sales where this = that', it should display the $400 amount done at 4am eastern time instead of 1am pst.
What I have done is to have data stores in date dimension to be UTC time, and I have also changed the data type of the date column to be 'local time zone'. DB is Oracle DB 11G now.
Now this query works perfectly well in the DB as long as I run the following commend first:
Alter session set time zone = 'whatever my time zone'
and then
Select date, transaction from tables..
The date displayed will automatically be converted into different time zone..
Since everything is working nicely from Oracle DB level, I need to know how to make it work when OBIEE sends the same query down to the DB..
I know that, probably I will have to enter the above alter session commend in the connection pool, however, I can't hardcode the time zone value.
I also don't want to store user's time zone in the user table because these users travels a lot. So even if his table setting is EST, but at a given day he can be traveling to pst time zone and view reports.
Is there a way to dynamically set the time zone based on user's account locale setting?
Let me know if you guys have implemented something similar or not
Thanks

Hello Sarvan
I have already done that part at the DB level and it is working perfectly with alter session commend before the query.
My question is, how do I configure OBIEE so that before each user runs a report from BI, the alter session commend will be fired with each user's personal locale time zone setting passed through so that each user will be able to view data according to their different time zone?did you tried with Connection scripts(Execute On connect) in Connection pool.write ur Alter commend to Change Time Zone in this script box.

AMs and PMs - how to search for small-caps?

In my book I'm proofreading I have a mixture of (because I was undecided when I was putting it together):
i 7.00 a.m.
i 7.00 am
i 7.00am
I ran these three options past about twenty people this morning, 6 voted for the first, 8 voted for the second, 3 voted for the third, and 1 person and myself voted for the option I can't show properly here: small-caps: 7.00 AM. Then of course there was the wag who told me: "Why don't you just say '7 o'clock in the morning' "? And the complete ratbag who suggested, in the interests of avoiding confusion: "7.00 am o'clock in the morning before lunch at 0700 hours."
Before I make them all the same format, which will very likely be small-caps, I want to make sure I can easily search for them so I can replace with an alternative style if I change my mind again later on.
QUES: How do I search for "AM" and "PM" (spaces before and after) if they are formatted in small-caps? I can't use paragraph styles because the AMs and PMs appear in a variety of styles already.

Thanks for all the hints. I'm going to try some of them to see how they work. I should make it clear though (my original post may have been unclear about this) that I was asking how to search for AM in small caps AFTER I had changed all time-formats to that form.
As for why I asked for input: I treat my book a bit like a democracy and give people a chance to vote on certain aspects and make comments just in case they have a good idea that I hadn't thought of; but yes, I'm the boss, and in terms of votes mine counts for 95%. In this case, someone suggested using a colon -- which I have taken on board. So I will be using the time format 7:30 AM to see how it looks. But if I don't like it, I want to be able to find all the small-cap AMs and change them to something else in one go.
My interest in time-formats has stirred some interest locally. My partner proof reads a walking club magazine and she received the latest edition lat night. She has never concerned about time formats before, but after my foray into different options, she came up with the following variety (the club has lots of reports that include times when walking trips start and end), even though she thought she had done a thorough job of proof reading:
9 am
9.00am
9:00 am
9:00am
9.am
9 AM
9.00a.m.
9.00 a.m.

Heartbeat failure monitor - how to adjust for specific agent

hi guys,
in our environment we put the default heartbeat settings to 10 samples and 60 seconds intervals.
i have a customer asking for different values on a specific machine hs is the owner of. i looked around and found this:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc540380.aspx
acording to this article, i can change the interval for a specific agent but i can't do the same for the amount of samples (it says i can only control the amount of samples at the MS level). is that indeed correct? i mean, if i want all my environment to
have a value of 10 samples and 1 specific server to have the value of 5 samples, it can't be done?
thanks a lot,
Uri

Hi,
You could change the Global Heartbeat Settings,it change the heartbeat interval at the global level. Changes made in this procedure affect all the agents in the management group.

are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this
interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time.

Will be International for 5 months and want to remove plan for this time

I will be studying in Austria for an extended period of time and would like to bring my iphone5, but not use any sort of plan with it (I'll just use wifi and as a camera). Right now I have a contract for several years (unlimited talk, text, and 2GB data) and pay $60 a month for it. There are two other phones on my account. I was wondering if I could just remove my phone for these months (and not pay for a service I wouldn't even be using) and then resume my plan when I return in July.

You can't "remove" your phone for this time without paying the ETF since you are under contract.
Verizon allows you to "suspend" service without billing for 90 days at a time. Once the 90 days is up, your service will automatically restart. Once it restarts, you can go back in and suspend it again. Verizon allows you to do this twice in a year for a total of up to 180 days in a year. Unfortunately, with the service automatically restarting again after 90 days, you will most likely have 1 month of service for which to pay.
While in Austria, you should be able to simply remove your Verizon SIM card and insert a SIM card from a local provider to get service thru them.

Currently we are on 10.4.9 and CS2 and about 15% of our Macs are Intels. I am concerned as I am not hearing good things about Leopard and I am wondering if CS3 is ready for prime time. I should note that stability is my first priority NOT the latest OS and App versions. So the question is are they ready for prime time or should I stay with CS2 and Tiger or should I go CS3 and Tiger.

Summer is a long way off, so hard to guess. I would say that if they don't have the kinks out by then, they probably never will, but still a gamble at this point IMO. I have one of the new Mac Pros (early 2008) w/CS3 Apps installed. I have been using all the below listed apps for the past two weeks without any major problems so far, but I also know that I may be living on the edge right now. I don't feel confident enough to switch to Leopard on my other two computers yet. My restarts on the new machine take about 30-seconds between selecting Restart and ready to start work again (vs about 1.5-2 minutes on my Dual G5). Apps like Photoshop CS3 launch in about 1/3 the time. But all of this speed means absolutely nothing when you slam into an incompatibility - that is the real time trap - I spent the last 8 hours doing nothing but tracking down a Permissions problem in Leopard that none of the utilities will currently fix.
These appear to be working for me so far...
Photoshop CS3
Illustrator CS3
InDesign CS3
Flash CS3
Dreamweaver CS3
Bridge CS3
Lightroom
After Effects CS3
Contribute CS3
What doesn't work yet...
Acrobat Pro & Acrobat Reader (fix was expected from Adobe last month)
Other issues encountered so far...
Most Photoshop and After Effects Plugins required paid upgrades to function in Leopard/CS3 (over $1500 for me the past week)
Monitor calibrator software (such as Artisan) dead with no fixes, but to buy all new hardware calibrators/software - again! - another $1000 bucks
I purchased the Silverfast Leopard upgrade ($105) to get the Epson 4870 scanner plugin to work with Photoshop CS3, but having problems - I think it is a Leopard problem
Adobe UPDATES menu item is dimmed out in all CS3 apps.
Having lots of Leopard User Permissions problems - hopefully 10.5.2 will help?
