Hi,
How to retrieve top 10 suppliers on OBIEE Dashborad
Vijay

using rank function:
case when RANK("F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)") <= 10 then RANK("F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)"end
OR
In fx---> TOPN(<<col>>,10)
Top10 for each year

Query for PO total group by Supplier

Hi All,
Does any 1 have query which gives the total of PO's for a supplier? and that to top 10 suppliers?
For example there are 100 PO's for Supplier 'A'.
I need total of al 100 PO's for Supplier 'A'.
Also is there iny report which gives for top 10 suppliers.
Thanks in Advance,
SYR

Here are some pointers so you can write your own query.
Start with po_vendors to get vendor_id for your vendor.
Join with po_headers_all to get po's for that vendor. Focus on standard pos only.
Join with po_lines_all to get price and quantity for those po.
Sum up the price*quantity to get total.
Do you have blanket Purchase orders? If yes, then you will have to include po_releases_all.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

MDX - TOP COUNT AND GRAND TOTALS

I need to get ONLY the TOP 25 suppliers based on the NET Revenue, but I need also the GRAND TOTAL for all the suppliers.
Is that possible to accomplish using an MDX query?

thanks, but it is not what i want.
here an example (with top 4 instead of 25)
suppliers              Net Amt
1054                    $500          visible
1053                    $100        visible
1058                    $50           visible
1044                    $40           visible
1022                    $20         NOT visible
1045                    $20            NOT visible
TOT                    $730 ------> this is the total I want
I hope it is more clear

How do I pass a cfparam value to multiple pages at once

Here's the link to my page:
www.carolinagreen.net/victus
Click "Roster" and then "The Infamy" to see my problem.
What I've done is made the roster page populate dynamically
with each artist from a table in the database. The links for each
artist you see on the roster page are all linked to the page
artist.cfm and each passes its unique ID to the artist page for
displaying the info about each artist.
On the artist page, I also have an iFrame that I intend to
use to display the shows. The page it displays is called shows.cfm.
Now, I know the show page works because you can type
www.carolinagreen.net/victus/shows.cfm?ID=1 and it will display the
shows for The Infamy. My problem is getting it to pass the ID value
to the shows.cfm page at the same time that it passes it to the
artist.cfm page.
Both pages currently have this at the top to supply the ID to
the page:
<cfparam name="URL.ID" type="numeric" default="0">
I thought it might actually just pass the ID to both since
the browser opens both pages at once.
Is this even possible? I know I could just screw the iFrame
and make a link to the shows.cfm page that opens in a new window or
something, but I'm trying to work with my clients wishes. If worse
comes to worse, I can just forget the iFrame, display the shows in
the artist.cfm page and make the body of the page grow to fit all
the info in, but that could get messy and stupid looking when the
artist has a 30-show tour booked.
Any ideas anyone?
Cameron

Actually your browser does two independent calls to your
webserver and the scripts do not share the information with each
other.
Just pass the id value to the iframe by adding it to the src
attribute from within your "artist.cfm"-script.
<iframe src="shows.cfm?ID=#url.id#">
That's it.

Please resolve this query for me.

i have table of supplier(supplier id,comp name,contractname,address, city, region, postal code, country, phone, fax),products(product id,sroduct name,supplier id,categoryid, qtyper unit, unitprice,unists in stock,units on order, reorder level,discontinued),order details(order id,productid, unitprice, qty, discount),orders(orderid,customerid,employee id,orderdate, requieredate, shipped date,shipvia, freight, shipname,shipaddress, shipcity,shipregion), customers(customerid,comp name contact name, contact title, address, city, region,postalcode, country, phone, fax), shippers(shipid,company name, phone), employee(allthe details of employee), categories(category id, catagoryname, description,picture)
1. I want to contact all customers who have received over $1,000 in discounts on orders this year. Give me the name and phone number of the person to contact at the customers site. Also, list the orders where the total discount was greater than $100. Remember, discount is a percentage of the price.
2. Give me a list of suppliers and products where we do not have the stock on hand to fill the orders to be shipped. List out the customer and order information for each of the products involved.
3. Give me a list of all orders that were shipped after the required date for the week of Jan 7, 2001. I want to know the name of the employees that were responsible for the orders.
4. We are having a golf tournament and I need some prizes. Give me a list of the top 5 suppliers by dollar amount in the last year.
5. Some customers are taking us for a ride on shipping. Give me a list of customers and the orders involved where more than ½ of their orders are being shipped to a region other than their home region.

I am using following formula" =sum(No. Deliveries) In (Supplier Name)
(I have used Forall and foreach functions also but they are splitting per supplier)
It is delivering values correctly.
But when we do ranking for top ten suppliers, it showing total for only for those ten suppliers. Like below

But the requirement is to show Total deliveries for all suppliers no matter how many suppliers we show.
Please provide me with any suggestions.
Thanks in Advance

Solved it with "=nofilter(Sum(No.Deliveries) in (Supplier Name))
Thanks

Sql sum question

I need to produce a CF report only showing the top five
suppliers, plus other information.
I count each supplier, with group by, then sum the count,
with group by, to get the total occurrances of each supplier. My
query/subquery is something like this :
select sum(supplierCount) as totalCount, supplier
from
select count(supplier) as suppliercount, supplier
from table
group by supplier
) as a
group by supplier
order by supplier
This appears to work and gives me the total occurrances of
each supplier. I can then select the top 5. Howver, when I start
including the other columns, the count/sum does not seem to work
anymore and becomes 1 for each supplier. I even tried usign QofQ
and that did not work.
How can I write the query to give me the total number of
occurrances of each supplier, in addition to having the other
columns on the report ?

if you were using mysql as your db, your current query would
have worked
just fine with any other columns you added - mysql does not
require the
query to be grouped by ALL non-aggregate columns, one is
enough.
in your case, i think you will need to have 2 queries and
then combine
then with a QoQ.
something like (untested):

<cfquery name="top5suppliers" ...>
SELECT TOP 5 COUNT(supplier_id) AS supplierCount, supplier_id
FROM table
GROUP BY supplier_id
ORDER BY COUNT(supplier_id) DESC
</cfquery>

<cfset supplier_id_list =
valuelist(top5suppliers.supplier_id)>

<cfquery name="top5suppliersData" ...>
SELECT supplier_id, ....
FROM suppliers_table
WHERE supplier_id IN (#supplier_id_list#)
</cfquery>

<cfquery name="suppliersFullData" dbtype="query">
SELECT top5suppliers.supplierCount, top5suppliersData.*
FROM top5suppliers, top5suppliersData
WHERE top5suppliers.supplier_id =
top5suppliersData.supplier_id
ORDER BY supplierCount DESC
</cfquery>

Query and cfchart question

I have this simple query :
SELECT top 10
SupplierName, supplierNumber
SUM(TOTALS) AS TOTAL
FROM tableName
It will give me a simple output like:
company1     12345     20
company2     98881     5
company3     76512     18
What I need to do is plot the query in pie chart, with a drilldown report for each pie slice (supplier name) :
<cfchart
         format="flash"
   chartwidth="350"
   chartheight="450"
   title='"Top 10 Supplier Volume "'
         pieslicestyle="sliced"
         labelformat="number"
         show3d="yes"
   url="../reports/supplierVolumeReport.cfm?supplierName=$itemlabel$&supplierNumber=#qryBuye rVolume.supplier#">
      <cfchartSeries type="pie"
            query="queryName"
            itemcolumn="supplierName"
            valuecolumn="Total"
            datalabelstyle="value"
            colorlist="##CE1126,##3399CC,##CC5500,##444444,##00CC33,##7C96A1,##DAD9A0">
      </cfchartseries>
      </cfchart>
Everything works fine. But when I go to the drilldown report, I cannot really search by supplierName because some companies might have the same name, but the supplier numbers are unique, so I have to search by supplier number. That is why I am passing that value also.
But when I click on pie slice for company 3, it passes the supplier name company 3, but the supplier number is always the first one, 12345, regardless of what slice I click on. I have cfoutput in the report and it shows company 3 and 12345.
How do I get the corresponding supplier number for the pie slice supplier name that I click on ? I need the corresponding supplier number so I can use it to search the query in the drilldown report.
I tried to combine the name and number in the query and have the chart display 12345 - Company 1 in the legend, but they do not want the number to display, just the name in the legend.

On your graph, pass the company name and total as a list with a delimter not likely to appear in the company name. Like this:
supplierName=$itemlabel$¿$value$
On your drill down page, start with a query to get the supplier number.
select suppliernumber, count(*)
from yourtable
where suppliername = ListFirst(url.suppliername, "¿")
group by suppliernumber
having count(*) = ListLast(url.suppliername, "¿")

Write into a single query

Hi,
I'm fetching supplier, Item, qty information from different tables.
Q1: Supplier Name, Quantity are the columns in my select clause, for only one particular item (hard coded).
But I want a single query which fulfills my below 2 requirements:
1. concatenate top 3 suppliers who has ordered this item with qty in descending order.
2. Sum of the quantity of this particular item ordered by all the supplier (not only top 3 suppliers).
for this, i've been executing Q1 twice.
I want to fetch these two requirements in one query!! Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks,

Command line for replication setup for DS 4.16

I am using Directory Server 4.16. I see example using command line for replication configuration in DS 5.0. Since 5.0 is quite different with 4.16. So my question is how to use command line to set up a Supplier in DS 4.16?
I know we can use ldapmodify to do some change. I see an ldapreplica entry. I can setup supplier id and password there. It seems only change that entry is not enough. Where to setup the setup for "changedatabase", "replication schedule", "initial consumer later" something we do at the console screen?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Iris

Hi Iris
Steps involved in Setting up Replication from command line
Part I: On Consumer Directory Server
1. Log on to the consumer directory server.
2. Stop the consumer directory server
3. Edit the slapd.conf file at <server-root>/slapd-<server-instance>/config so that it includes the following two lines. The lines show the DN of who is allowed to connect for replication and the entry's corresponding password.
updatedn "uid=<REPLICA USER BIND DN>"
updatepw {SHA}<SHA ENCRYPTED REPLICA USER PASSWORD>
4. Edit the dse.ldif file at <server-root>/slapd-<server-instance>/config so that the entry cn=config contains the following two lines. These lines contain the same data as the line above.
nsslapd-updatedn: uid=<REPLICA USER BIND DN>
nsslapd-updatepw: <PLAIN TEXT REPLICA USER PASSWORD>
5. Start the consumer directory server
Part II: Creating the Replication Agreement
1. Log on to the master directory server
2. Stop the master directory server
3. Edit the slapd.conf file at <server-root>/slapd-<server-instance>/config so that it includes the following two lines. This lines setup the changelog directory and suffix.
changelogdir <dir path >
changelogsuffix "cn=changelog"
4. mkdir <CHANGELOG DIR>
5. Start the master directory server
6. Create a file named replica.ldif which contains the following lines. These lines reflect the agreement which will start the replication with the consumer; as such you should make the changes to reflect your environment.
dn: cn=<CONSUMER FQDN>:<CONSUMER PORT>/o%3D<BASE DN>, cn=ldap://:<SUPPLIER
PORT>,dc=<1ST ELEMENT OF SUPPLIER FQDN>,dc=<2ND ELEMENT OF SUPPLIER
FQDN>,...,<TOP LEVEL SUPPLIER FQDN>
changetype: add
objectclass: top
objectclass: LDAPReplica
replicahost: <CONSUMER FQDN>
replicaport: 389
replicanickname: <CONSUMER HOSTNAME>
cn: <CONSUMER FQDN>:<CONSUMER PORT>/o%3D<BASE DN>
replicaroot: o=<BASE DN>
replicabinddn: uid=<REPLICA USER BIND DN>
replicacredentials: <REPLICA USER PASSWORD>
replicausessl: 0
7. Run ldapmodify with the proper authorization so that the entry is added correctly.
8. There is an optional attribute which can be tacked on to the bottom of the above entry. The attribute 'replicabeginorc' will tell the server to immediately start on-line replication; this will initialize the consumer by deleting all the current entries on the consumer one at a time and then adding all the entries from the master one at a time. If this is something you want to do, do an ldapmodify adding this attribute to the entry you just created in step 8.
for example
Create a file called beginreplica.ldif like;
dn: cn=xymox.mcom.com:389/o%3Dinternet, cn=ldap://:389,dc=fts,dc=mcom,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: replicabeginorc:
replicabeginorc: start
then run;
ldapmodify -h fts -p 389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w netscape -f beginreplica.ldif
Hope this helps

RFID adoption and growth prospects

Hi,
I'm looking for information dealing with the current state of adoption and growth prospects of rfid.
Does anybody know where I can find free papers and research results?
Regards,
Dirk

<b>RFID Adoption </b>(RFID Now)
RFID DEVICES are beginning to replace magnetic-stripe security cards for unlocking doors and granting access to secured areasespecially at facilities with special security needs, such as military installations.
The most visible use of RFID, though, is probably the automatic toll payment systems that rely on readers at toll plazas to scan tags attached to the windshields of passing cars. The reader records the tags ID and then deducts money from a prepaid account. These
systems are designed to allow cars to zip through toll plazas ideally without stopping or even slowing down very much .Known as E- ZPass in New York, New Jersey, Delaware and other states, as FasTrak in California, and by different names elsewhere, RFID-based automatic
toll systems have been operating for several years.
<b>RFID Growth Prospects</b>(RFID FUTURE)
Why the RFID market is set to expand rapidly
1.Auto-ID Center at MIT produced standards: EPC, Air-protocol, Savant, ONS.
2.Cost of tags is dropping rapidly
3.The coming RFID tsunami is real and it has two mega-sized supply buyers written all over it: Wal-Mart and the DoD.
Walmart, the worlds largest retailer, and the US Dept of Defense (DOD), are two powerful entities that have launched initiatives to implement RFID in their logistics operations, motivated by their needs to cut costs and streamline their supply chain in their organizations.
Wal-Mart has mandated that its top 100 suppliers adopt RFID for palettes and
cases by January 2005.
4.In the coming years, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) could have a major impact on any enterprise involved in the production, movement, or sale of physical goods. RFID's unique attributes will enable new applications and radical changes to business practices. RFID technology is a powerful Auto ID solution that can significantly increase efficiency and productivity. Implementing an RFID solution requires a thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of this emerging technology.
So the future is absolutely very bright.
I have a very good document supporting this .You could give me your email.
You can also write to me on [email protected]
thanks and regards

Hi All,
I am developing a report with Source System,Year,Supplier name,Amount,Currency.My intention is to get Top 10 suppliers for each year and for each Source System.
So i applied Section on Source System again another section on Year then applied ranking to Amount by Supplier Name.
Though i got Top 10 Suppliers for each Year and Source System those are not sorted i.e i am getting Top 10 only but not in sorted order.
Can any one help me in fixing this issue?
-Gokul.

Rank is working correctly only.
One can't do Rank and Sort on single dimension.
Thank You!!

XL Reporter Query

Hi all,
I successfully tried to create a query about the top 10 suppliers of a company in a specific market in XL reporter.
And I imagine all the possibilities that we could have using this tool.
But the query syntax is different from SQL for example, and very specific.
That's why I'm lookink for any documentation about building queries on XLR or something that could help me to understand their syntax.
Thanks for your answers

Hi,
Indeed, XLR has its own language for query and it is not equivalent to normal SQL. You may find Using Syntax and Functions in XL Reporter from Portal. This document is dated March 2006 for B1 2005.
Thanks,

Don't forget to post the exact results you want from that data.
How are the two tables related? Do you have to parse rangebucket.rangespend to extract the NUMBERs 100 and 200 from the VARCHAR2 '100-200'? It would be simpler to do it the other way around: store the NUMBERs 100 and 200 in two separate NUMBER columns, and derive the label '100-200' from them (or store the label in a separate column, as it is now, in addition to rangebegin and rangeened NUMBER columns).
Whatever number is related to these ranges, what happens if that number is exactly 200? What if it is less than 100?

1)no of customer/supplier in the spend bucket.

2)total no of supplier for all bucket(sum)
3)% of supplier for each bucket.(each bucket supp cnt *100/total supp cnt)
3)total spend for each bucket
4)total spend for all combination of bucket
5)% of spend for each bucket than total bucket(each bucket supp spend *100/total supp spend)
6)how many no of suppliers make 80% of total spend(respect to all bucket)I'm not certain I understand what any of the outputs are, but I'm especially unsure of 6) and 7).
Do you want the smallest possible number of suppliers, such that their spend totals account for at least 80% of all spend total?
Do you want the largest possible number of suppliers, such that their sepnd total just barely exceeds 80% of the overall total?
Do you want something else entirely?
When you post the results you want from the given sample data, explain this part very carefully.
7)how many no of suppliers make 20% of total spend(respect to all bucket)
8)top 3 suppliers make how much % of spend(respect to all bucket)I suspect you'll need to use aggregate functions to get the total by suppliers, and then use analytic fucntions to answer questions such as "Is the running total greater than 80% yet?". I'm sure this will be clearer after you post the results you want.

1.RFID-What is it's purpose!
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a
state-of-the-art technology for extensive
identification of every type of object.
It enables rapid and automatic data acquisition
via radio waves.At its most basic level, Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID ) is a wireless
link to uniquely identify objects or people.
RFID is a means of capturing data about an object without using a human to read the data.
The object of any RFID system is to carry data in suitable transponders, generally known as tags,
and to retrieve data, by machine-readable means,
at a suitable time and place to satisfy particular application needs. Data within a tag may provide identification for an item in manufacture,
goods in transit, a location, the identity of a
vehicle, an animal or individual.
Where it will be used mainly.
RFID is becoming more popular in applications
where other identification technologies, such as barcodes, are no longer sufficient
(e.g. logistics, material management,
industrial automation, services etc.).
POSSIBLE COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS OF THIS SYSTEM
Electronic Article Surveillance(EAS)
logistics
Asset Management
Waste Management
Yard Management
Fare Collection
Animal Identification
Luggage Tracking in Airports
Industrial laundries
Fugitive Emission Detection
Totes/Conveyor
Vehicle Identification
Automotive Anti-theft
Employee Identification
The list continues.It can be used in man
Advantages of RFID:
Contactless identification
Reads through many materials like cardboard,
wood etc.
Unlimited reading and writing of the memory
Identification takes less than a second
Simultaneous reading of various transponders
Resistant to harsh environmental conditions,
such as extreme temperature, humidity etc.
Shape and size of the transponders can be
adapted as desired
Transponders can be completely integrated
into a product
High security due to copy and password
protection or encrypted data communication
RFID Adoption (RFID Now)AND Growth Prospects
RFID DEVICES are beginning to replace
magnetic-stripe security cards for unlocking
doors and granting access to secured areas
especially at facilities with special security
needs, such as military installations.
The most visible use of RFID, though, is
probably the automatic toll payment systems
that rely on readers at toll plazas to scan
tags attached to the windshields of passing
cars. The reader records the tags ID and then
deducts money from a prepaid account.
These systems are designed to allow cars to
zip through toll plazas ideally without stopping
or even slowing down very much .Known as
E- ZPass in New York, New Jersey, Delaware and
other states, as FasTrak in California, and by
different names elsewhere, RFID-based automatic
toll systems have been operating for several years.
RFID Growth Prospects(RFID FUTURE)
Why the RFID market is set to expand rapidly
1.Auto-ID Center at MIT produced standards: EPC,
Air-protocol, Savant, ONS.
2.Cost of tags is dropping rapidly
3.The coming RFID tsunami is real and it has
two mega-sized supply buyers written all over it:
Wal-Mart and the DoD.
Walmart, the worlds largest retailer, and the
US Dept of Defense (DOD), are two powerful
entities that have launched initiatives to
implement RFID in their logistics operations,
motivated by their needs to cut costs and
streamline their supply chain in their
organizations.Wal-Mart has mandated that
its top 100 suppliers adopt RFID for palettes
and cases by January 2005.
4.In the coming years, Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) could have a major
impact on any enterprise involved in the
production, movement, or sale of physical
goods. RFID's unique attributes will enable
new applications and radical changes to business practices. RFID technology is a powerful
Auto ID solution that can significantly
increase efficiency and productivity.
Implementing an RFID solution requires a
thorough understanding of the capabilities and limitations of this emerging technology.
So the future is absolutely very bright
SAP RFID Solution Package
The SAP RFID solution package provides a
complete auto-ID middleware solution connecting
RFID data directly from auto-ID data capture
sources, such as RFID readers and device
controllers, and integrates the data directly
into enterprise applications . It converts
raw RFID data into business process
information by making the associations from
key business rules, master data, and transactions
to raw RFID data .
SAP-RFID
SAPs RFID solution is packaged as a standalone
solution package built on top of SAP Web
Application Server 6.40, and consists of:
SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
SAP Event Management
SAP Enterprise Portal
Backend ERP adapters to SAP R/3 4.6C
and greater
SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
Auto-ID Infrastructure is compatible with
SAP R/3 4.6C or greater, and it also has
adapters for SAP Warehouse Management, SAP
Business Information Warehouse, SAP Supply
Chain Event Management, SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization, and all SAP NetWeaver components.
Auto-ID Infrastructure is designed to synchronize
EPC and RFID information into your ERP systems by providing a complete, multidimensional data model
of RFID-enabled assets, including:
1.EPC number
2.Asset location
3.Status
4.Last RFID read point
5.Handling unit number
6.Packing hierarchy association
(such as item, item-to-case, or case-to-pallet)
It then maps this data to your SAP R/3 system
via association to handling units (HUs). Handling
unit headers include a standards-based HU number, weight, volume, and dimensions. HU content
includes material number, quantity, unit of
measure, batch number, plant number and location,
and stock category (such as consignment), as well
as serial number and inspection lot data.
These HUs are then associated with EPC numbers
and are integrated into the appropriate transaction
for processes such as production orders, transfer orders, sales orders, delivery (ASNs) and receipt, shipment, picking and packing, and inventory move
and packing operations.
Because it is built on SAP Web
Application Server,
Auto-ID Infrastructure supports multiple
communication interfaces (HTTP, SOAP, WSDL,
SOCKET/ TCPIP), as well as mobile interfaces
to PocketPC 2003 and Mobile Linux (Sharp).
It runs on Windows (XP, 2000, NT), Unix, and
Linux, and supports Oracle, SAP DB, DB2,
and Microsoft SQL Server
