Updates using greater than or less than logic....

Hi, I've run into something that I can't figure out how to do through the OWB GUI. I have a source table that tells me that data changed between a given effective start and effective end dates (for example, NAME information). Given that, I want to update all rows in the person dimension tied to the matching person, where the effective date on the person dim is between the effective start and end dates on the source table.
Using the standard update operator, it looks like the only option I have is "=", I can't specify "<=" or ">=".
Is there any (easy) way around this?
Thanks,
Scott

I'd like to expand on Bharad's join condition.
Keep in mind that you have to use the effective start date two times (see below).
ingrp1 a.person_id =ingrp2 b.person_id
and ingrp1 a.effective_start_date >= ingrp2 b.effective_start_date
and ingrp1 a.effective_startdate <= ingrp2 b.effectiveend_date
Also, in most dimension tables the effective end date can contain NULL values which we need to take care off as well otherwise we will 'lose' records. A NVL can fix that problem, for example:
ingrp1 a.person_id =ingrp2 b.person_id
and ingrp1 a.effective_start_date >= ingrp2 b.effective_start_date
and ingrp1 a.effective_start_date <= nvl( ingrp2 b.effective_end_date, sysdate)
You can also substitute sysdate for a fixed date in the future but it's not dynamic then.

Greater Than or Less Than using String Variables

I seem to have a problem when trying to sort an ALPHABETIC LIST, seeing if one text field is greater tan or less than another.
i.e. Lets say my variables are called FirstLetter and SecondLetter.
FirstLetter="A", SecondLetter="B"
So as an example and a test....Can I ask ...
IF SecondLetter>FirstLetter Then
Textwindow.WriteLine(SecondLetter + " >" + FirstLetter)
Else
Textwindow.WriteLine(FirstLetter + " >= " + SecondLetter)
Endif
I seem to be fine and program working well with numeric values in variables but the '> & <' feature does not seem to work with Text ?
Any help really appreciated
Thanks
Dave

We gotta get their ASCII/UNICODE value before comparing them:
firstLetter = "A"
secondLetter = "B"
If Text.GetCharacterCode(firstLetter) > Text.GetCharacterCode(secondLetter) Then
Textwindow.WriteLine(FirstLetter + " > " + SecondLetter)
ElseIf Text.GetCharacterCode(firstLetter) < Text.GetCharacterCode(secondLetter) Then
Textwindow.WriteLine(SecondLetter + " > " + FirstLetter)
Else
Textwindow.WriteLine("They're the same " + FirstLetter + " letter!")
EndIf

Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud. Is this a known bug?

Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud. Is this a known bug? I've checked for duplicates on my iDevices and I can't find any. Additionally, I have wiped all the data from the Application Support folder of the address book and re-connected to iCloud, but it always shows 308 contacts instead of 309 found on iCloud and the rest of my devices. Any ideas?

Does specified lsn should greater than or less than min_autonosync_lsn when setting up a "initialize from lsn" subscription?

Hello,
For setting up a "initialize from lsn" type subscription successfully, Does the lsn for @subscriptionlsn parameter need greater than or less than the min_autonosync_lsn (syspublications) ?
I read two versions of this: one is lsn >min_autonosync_lsn ,the other is lsn <min_autonosync_lsn. I agree lsn >min_autonosync_lsn.
Thanks

Basically it means that the lsn should be retrievable somewhere in the distribution database. So it has to be> than the min otherwise you would need to reinitialize.
Note that this is only important when you are mirroring the subscription database.

You need to have a double || to get the logical or, otherwise
you get the bitwise or.

Case structure greater than or less than

Hello.
I am having difficulty with making a case structure that if a numerical input is greater than a number it does one thing and less it does another.
Basically how do you work with case structures that aren't boolean, specifically if a number is greater than 38 it reassigns it as 0 (multiplies by zero something like that).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/case_selector_values/
Or use the boolean logic you are talking about. If you use a greater than on your number and it is greater you will get a true and if it is not greater than it will be false. You could even use the in range function (comparison pallete) to get a true or false.
Or give more information about what you are trying to do. The more info you give, the better answer you will get. Otherwise we have to guess why you are trying to do it the way you are asking when there could be a better way.

Does anyone know the authorized repair centers in Dubai for iPhones. Etisalat uses Technocare which are less than useless.

I dropped by iPhone 4S two days after buying it, and would therefore like to get the damaged screen repaired at the authorized service center.
I took it to Etisalat (the carrier where I bought it) and explained clearly that I am aware that this kind of damage is not covered by warranty, and that I will pay for the repairs.
They took the device, two weeks later it was returned un-fixed with a message saying "Physical damage is not covered by warranty".
I resubmited the device, this time writing "Please quote for replacing the damage screen at my own expense. I am FULLY aware this is not covered by warranty".
Two weeks later...<drum-roll> the phone is back un-fixed with a message saying "Screen physically broken, not covered by warranty"
So if anyone reading this has any suggestion on where / how to get this phone repaired without voiding the warranty please let me know. Clearly the carrier (or their service center Technocare) are clueless.
Thanks.

Thanks Ingo2711,
The pages you suggested point to the local carriers as the only authorized service centers.
The problem with Etisalat is that they outsourced that service to another company called Technocare.
That company sent the phone back twice (for the reasons mentioned above) and suggested that I have it fixed at a third party, which I am refusing to do since that will void my warranty. Additionally, they are refusing to give me any thing in writing to that affect.

Firfox uses too much system resource. When idle it uses around 20% CPU and more than 500 mb each of real and virtual memory. Safarai uses 0% CPU and less than 100mb real and less than 200 mb virtual memory.

It causes my macbook pro 15" to get hot.

the very problematic plugin-cointainer is the cause of all this! i assume you may be open web page that contain flash right? high system resource slowing your browsing capabilities (click,tab,openpage, slowresponse,etc)
it is very common problem in windows. you can read it in here under Known Issues->http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.15/releasenotes/
+Some slower machines may see degraded mouse responsiveness when viewing certain Flash videos
This PROBABLY can happen in your macosx too. Im not sure for that.
I also try firefox in Ubuntu, and suprisely it smoothly open flash video and playing FB Poker at the same time wo performance degradation .
i cant give any solution for this unless they came out with better and enhanced performance of firefox for all systems.

Sale value of group asset- sub asset more than wdv less than group total

Hi,
I am maintaining group asset for Income Tax Depreciation. All the asset under the same class is consider single asset for Income tax purpose. For eg value of Plant and machinery under Income tax is derived for all asset totaled together after depreciation for the year. Thus P&M is considered single asset for calculating I.T. Depreciation, even though it may contain 100 assets.
For Income tax, for P & M class of asset depreciation for first year is with different rate and for rest years with different rate. Hence I have maintained sub asset for this group asset. Whenever a new asset is purchase, for income tax purpose it is recorded in the newly created sub asset number.
The problem arises in sale of asset. When I am selling any machinery the sale value is deducted from the group value for IT purpose. In this case even though the value of sale is higher than the WDV of the individual asset it is adjusted in total. While configuring this in SAP I am facing following difficulties-
1.     As the rate of depreciation is different for different years I am not able to maintain a single group asset. I have to create a sub asset. This facilitate the right depreciation calculation by different dep rate for purchases in diff year.
2.     But as I am maintaining different Sub asset the sale value cannot exceed the balance of that particular asset, even though the total value in SAP for all the group assets is higher.
3.     I can not allow having negative values. Negative values are not allowed to maintain in IT Records.
Please help to resolve the issue.

User input formula variable with greater than/less than operators for KFG

Hello all,
I have used a formula in my query that is a difference of two key figures .For e.g:
Difference = tax from system A - tax from system B.
Now when the users run the report they should be prompted for the 'Difference' threshold for seeing the report say where difference is greater 100 or equal to 10 and so on.Currrently I have created a formula variable with 'user input' and created a 'condition' to display 'Difference' greater than the user entered value.
However,it is required to have various selection options for setting the threshold of difference.For e.g User should be able to set say 'equal to'/'greater than/less than/not equal to operator for 'difference' in the initial selection screen of the report.
With the current user-input formula variable I am not getting these 'greater than' etc operators.Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Ya know, that's all well and good ... BUT ... WHAT IF you do want to sort text type columns with Greater Than and Less Than operatiors??
SQL does it just Fine ... so WHY does APEX have the limit??? This is an Oracle BUG ... it SHOULD NOT limit the operators ... I realize "they" may be trying to be helpful with proper constraints to field searches ... but ... if SQL can do it, then ... no need for a limit.
EG ...
Show the records where
the "Begin_Year-Wk" data is less than or equal to "2009-09" AND
the "End_Year-Wk" data is greater than or equal to "2009-04"
... to give everything that was running in that 5 week period whether or not it starts within that time frame
I can run this query perfectly fine via SQL ... but not in APEX ... unless I reconvert a lot of strings back to numbers, and for sorting / formatting / explain-to-user purposes, I really don't want them to be numbers.
So ... there's gotta be a hidden tweak for operators somewhere ...

Filtering Interactive Reports with Greater Than Less Than Operators

The available filter operators in the interactive reports do not include greater than or less than. How is it possible to enable an application user to filter records where greater than or less then logic is needed?
For example the user wants to query records where sysdate falls between a start and end date.

Todd

Using '(' and less than operator in an xsql page sql query

Dear All,
I tried to use left parenthesis '(' and less than operator in an sql query through an xsql page, it doesn't let to use them.
Do you know how to use those in an xsql page?
Thanks for your help.
Mustafa

Following is the xsql page that I tried to run:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsql:query xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" connection = "bib" rowset-element="bib" row-element="book">
(SELECT year,title,last,first,' ' as affiliation,publisher,price
FROM book,author
WHERE year=2001 and bookid=parentid
UNION
SELECT year,title,last,first,affiliation,publisher,price
FROM book,editor
WHERE year=2001 and bookid=parentid)
INTERSECT
(SELECT year,title,last,first,' ' as affiliation,publisher,price
FROM book,author
WHERE publisher='Publisher1' and bookid=parentid
UNION
SELECT year,title,last,first,affiliation,publisher,price
FROM book,editor
WHERE publisher='Publisher1' and bookid=parentid)
</xsql:query>
This is the error message generated after running:
<ERROR>java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01009: missing mandatory parameter</ERROR>
When I remove the parentheses it works but this results in a different result set.
Can anybody tell me the reason?
Thanks,

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

TS1398 Wifi network password less than 8 characters

In the past, I was able to connect to my kids schools wifi network with a password that was 6 characters long. Since updating I am not able to use passwords that are less than 8. Is there away around this? I can connect with other non apple devices (school owned).

Try and reset your network settings by going to 'Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings'.
If you still have problems after this you may need to contact the schools IT administration.
Hope this helps
