Use of date specification in PCR

Hi Experts,
I difficulty in understanding use of date specification in PCR. Can anyone help me understanding following operation in a PCR?
*NUM=FI7T*
Here I7 is date type from infotype 41 and I know that T calculates difference in days. However, I do not understand that differnce of I7 is calculated from which date? In other words what is the meaning of F here. I have gone through documentation and F is related to change in weekly hours but the calculation is not matching.
Can some one please help me?
Regards,
Shalini

Hi,
When you put NUM=F, F means you are taking the date from infotype 41. If you check in tcode pe04, look at the information for NUM and you may see that you use F for bringing the dates of infotype 41. The difference it brings is from the date you are running the payroll and the date I7 from infotype 41 measured in days (this is because you use the letter T. If you put an M you will get it in month and you have other options as well).
Hope it helps.
Kind Regards,
Edoardo

Using a date field in a JDOQL query crashes

Hello:
I am trying to use a date field in a JDOQL filter. It appears from the
log file that the date is not being substituted into the SQL.
It is not clear from the JDOQL spec how to do date queries.... doing date
queries in SQL involves several special operators, yet the
JDOQL defines the ">" and "<" operators as working on dates....and there is
no mention of date specific operators so I am hoping that I
can do a filter where I compare a date to an input parameter date using the
">" and "<" operators...
I have enclosed a copy of my driver code, followed by an except of my class
that contains the date, followed by the kodo exception log
I can't see where I am doing anything that violates the JDOQL spec and I
don't see any other way of doing date comparisions.

Brian,
The problem is that you're declaring myDate as a variable instead of a
parameter. Yes, we should be doing better error checking. But that's the
problem.
So, change your declareVariables() and declareParameters() statements
accordingly, and all should work out.

My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

DAte not available in infotype 0041(date specification)

Hai All,
In our place we are using 4 type of "date type"
Z1 Hired date.
Z2 Seperation Date
Z3 Leave quota start
Z4 Service entry date
for all employees date specification maintain by dynamic action.
for some employees date specification is not maintain by the system.they are having only Z1 Hiring date only. others not available.
how can i rectify this problem?
Kind regards.
Dinesh.

Hi
You have to check your Dynamic action.
While querying dynamic ation how did you quaried, on which grouping you quried ?
The employee who dont get the details are members in that group are not?
if you give it in feature you must have all 4 dates to all the employees, otherwise you will be in trobuble
becuase SAP wont allow you fill the type only without date in infotype 0041
Regards
Adi

I have a lot of grief with this version of Windows Media Player.
It is very buggy and frustrating to use.
I have my Music library on a QNAP NAS, which is as reliable as they come.
System notifications make it not save changes. It also does not do a good job of interpreting albums and artists from folders. Changes to track names are not saved, nor are tracks moved to other albums, renamed albums, changes to genre, artist
or date. It separates and merges albums/tracks without sense or reason. Some changes I've made up to 4 times, then closed WMP and re-started my machine to check if it has/hasn't saved the changes. Often it has not.
This is the first time I've used WMP in this capacity, and I do not recommend it.
New service pack please.

Should I use Core Data?

I'm starting a new document-based application. Is Core Data the way of the future, or just a convenience for specific types of apps? That is, in the "old days" you would override -[NSDocument dataOfType:] and readFromData: to archive your objects. It seems appealing to use Core Data and get automatic archiving in XML, SQL, and binary all for free, but the tutorials I've gone through all seem directed at a very different kind of app than mine. (Rather database-like, but I suppose the demo has to look like something.) The old "Sketch" example, which uses old-style archiving, hasn't been updated in years. Which direction to go?

Look up HyperCard in Wikipedia for a good explanation. In short, I'm developing a GUI-based mini-app environment, where users can create buttons & fields, and hook them up with an elementary scripting language. I've written the compiler & interpreter, am starting the surrounding framework.
"Have you looked at the Apple HIGs lately?" Dude, I was reading "Inside Macintosh" back in 1984.

How to use japanese data in BO 6.5

Post Author: sinha_ips
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
hi,I am using BO 6.5 trying to use japanese data in my report. The database i m querying supports japanese and the oracle client at my machine also supports japanese.I have installed the japanese language set also at my machine.But all this is not giving me the results. Japanese data is still coming as junk. Any help is appreciable...Thanks & Regards,Ashish

Are you able to log into infoview then? And the problem happens when you select on a web report? Do you see any errors when you select the link? Does this happen with all reports? or is there a specific type of report that this happens to?
With your general supervisor account, try to create a simple report from a simple database such as efashion, with one object. Make sure that you save the report without refresh on open. Then try again.
Basically, you'll want to narrow the problem down to:
1. report related
2. deployment related
3. browser related.
4. authorization related.
Run simple tests to narrow down what the problem is related to.

SELECT statement using XML data taking way too long.

Hi all, I am using SQL Server 2005.
I have an issue which I find hard to describe. The server that I am using contains two test databases which are (supposed to be) identical. They both have tables named EVENTS with identical fields. I am using XML data to query and update data to this table.
When I run the SELECT in one database, against the EVENTS table it takes a long time. The longest I've kept it running is 2:30 minutes. When I run it against the EVENTS table in the other database the results are almost instantaneous. I've created a test
query to duplicate this behavior:
declare @ValidXMLInput xmlset @ValidXMLInput = '<EVENTS>
<EVENT EID="8077" EDATE="2014-07-20 10:15"
USERID="GTJ789" LOCID="7016" STATE="0" />
</EVENTS>'
SELECT Col.value('@EID','VARCHAR(5)'),Col.value('@STATE','INT')
FROM @ValidXMLInput.nodes('//EVENTS/EVENT') Tab(Col)
left join tblEvents on
tblEvents.EvIdNum=Col.value('@EID','VARCHAR(5)') And
tblEvents.EvDate=Col.value('@EDATE','DATETIME') And
tblEvents.UserId=Col.value('@USERID','VARCHAR(8)') And
tblEvents.EvLocId=Col.value('@LOCID','VARCHAR(8)')
where tblEvents.EvIdNum Is Null
Basically, the above query returns all rows in the XML table that are not in the database table. The results are then passed on to other statements.The columns in the join are key fields for tblEvents and have a PK index for both tables (in each db).
Now the issue that I am having. When I use an EID in the XML data of any other value (as presented in the example above), such as '3477' the query runs fast on both databases; however, when I specifically use an EID of '8077' then the query slows down to
a point where it takes more than 2:30 minutes (after which I cancel the execution). This only happens with one of the databases.
For testing purposes I've created an XML structure with only one item. Both tables have approximate 111 million records. One table contains about 900K records with an EID of 8077. The other table contains about 930K records with this EID. There aren't many
differences in the data. The records with the EID of 8077 (the slow one) are for different dates, users and locations. I should also mention that although the data presented here for EID consists of number, provisions exist where the number may be prefixed
by a letter; hence the varchar designation.
My question to you all is: How can I start troubleshooting this issue? Should I be looking at indexes?
I had some doubt about this because the query is fast for other EIDs. Why would it get "stuck" with this particular one?
Any troubleshooting advice is welcomed. Thanks! Saga
Insanity is the prelude to discovery

Some thoughts:
Is there a hardware difference between the two databases ? E.g. are they on the same disk (array) ?
Is there anything else running on your server besides your SQL instance ?
Do you see spikes in I/O, CPU or both ?
Maybe there is locking on one DB that's not happening in the other.
You should check indexes and statistics plus compare estimated execution plan between the two DBs.

Due Date specific terms of payment

Hello Gurus,
How to set-up Due Date Specific Terms of payment ?
Thanks

Hi
I got the below answers in my mind.Whether it may work for you or not. i am telling you the possibilities.
1) Please explain the client about the process in SAP and try to convince them this will have risk. we are giving free hand to the sales person for selecting a imaginary date as due date.
2) if they are not agreeing for that, they have to put some manual work in that.
In OBB8 Select Default date for base line date -Posting Date.
when they want to post the invoice tell the sale person, select a random date (like customer's birthday), back calculate the days and put the months there.
3) check for any user exits available or you have to develop a custom enhancement screen for calculating the due date
You can create a substitution in FI (OB28) and use exit RGGBS000 (Form u100) to write your code
In OB28 - (use method "exit only")
Prerequisites: Company code = XXXX and Account Type = D and (Syst-Tcode = VF01 or FB70 or VF02)
Choose Field "Baseline date" and mention exit name as U100... Write ABAP code here in
or wait for until some experienced consultants response on this.
with regards

Query Hire date in a PCR

Hi,
Could you help me in querrying hire date in a PCR.
I need to differentiate b/w EEs who joined from 1st-15th of a month to the ones who joined in the later part of the month.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
what about this quick idea - use VARSTREDAY in PCR rule and make 01, 02, . . . .31 as a result from query. Continue with wtriting the rows and choose some time type. Store the value 1 into the time type. Then put a HRS query with the chosen time type before the VARST - it will prevent the rule to check itself over again. Store the time type into SALDO. If you generate qoutas according to some time types, then the time type can also be stored in the PCR rule with Varst. Then you need to solve roll-over if the qouta needs to be generated the next year.
ex.
HRS=BZZZ1
HRS?1
= nothing
VARSTREDAY
01 HRS=1
01 ADDDBZZZ1
01 HRS=1
01 ADDDBQBAS (time type for qouta base)
It is not some smooth solution but it should work.
Cheers

Remediation Schedule - Date Specific

In my organization, we are only allowed to patch computers from 10:00 pm until 6:00 am the next morning. I want to use the Remediation Schedule - Date Specific function for deploying patches and stay within my narrow window of time, and I thought I could use the "Start at a random time between Start and End Times" feature.
For example, I wanted to start patching on 02/25/09 starting at 10:00 pm, ending at 6:00 am, and I wanted the same schedule for 02/26/09. I added 02/26/09 and 02/27/09 as Start Dates, checked the "Process immediately if device unable to execute on schedule" option, selected the "Start at a random time between Start and End Times" feature, and set the Start Time for 10:00 pm and the End Time for 6:00 am. Unfortunately, I have computers patching at 11:00 am on 02/26/09, which is not at all what I intended.
Do the Start and End Times have to fall on the same date? Based on how I did it above, what logic is ZENworks using to determine that it's ok to patch at 11:00 am? I was trying to mimic the old-style blackout schedule we used to have with PatchLink. Is it even possible to do it without having to specify a content blackout schedule, which would effect not only patch bundles, but my bundles, settings, and policies?

Using table data for control

Hello,
I would like to use data entered in a table to automate air flow volume/sequence to a test chamber. As shown in the table control screen grab, the first column specifies the number of iterations through table elements during a test run and second column data specifies duration for each row sequence. Entries in the other columns are specific to different flow valves and specify set point values required to meter flow.
I guess my question is how can I index/assign each column in the table such that data to operate respective valves are obtained at subsequent iterations whilst simultaneously acquiring data from other components sequentially? Whilst I acknowledge that the solution may be quite simple, I have trawled through various examples and posts on tables and arrays without hitting on a solution. The attached .vi allows me to do some part of the test run.
Best regards,
Callisto

Hi Callisto,
If I understand your question correctly then the solution is in fact fairly straightforward. The important point to bear in min is the fact that the Table control can effectively be dealt with as an array of string. You can then use all of the traditional array manipulation tools and techniques to manipulate your data as you want. For example, use the Index Array function to extract specific columns and then if you want to pass individual elements within a column into a loop, wire the array up to the loop and ensure that Indexing is enabled. If you then want to use these data elements to drive your test application, you may want to convert some of the resulting string into more useful numeric's.
All of these concepts are demonstrated in the attached VI. I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any further questions.

Using PHP Data Services to create an object and accessing that objects data in an unbound way in AS

Hello,
I've been able to use the php data services and bind the results of a function to a component. However I am having a hard time figuring out the syntax to use the data services to create an object out of the results, and then use that object as an array of filenames to provide the current index of the filename to a new sound object.
My problem is obviously in not being able to figure out the specific syntax, I have declared the service and and object of the services returned type and in the creationComplete() function I have assigned object.token = service.getData();
I've tried various ways of then pulling that data out of the object, with no success.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
This code probably looks horrible because it doesn't work yet.

Hello Joel;
In retrieving your data - what is your php returning to FB, an object, object array, an array? Either way, I have a brief example below that an object(s) is being returned. Pull the data from the lastResult in a ResultEvent. The object instantiated in the resultEvent will contain your data and you can do what you want from there.
Also, I always use Network Monitor to see what data (if any) is being returned from the server, you can also see how it is being sent back.

private function init():void
     mp3Array.token = mp3service.getData();
     mp3Array.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, faultHandler);
     mp3Array.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, mp3Array_resultHandler);
protected function faultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void
     Alert.show("There was a fault error!" + event.message, "Fault Error", Alert.OK);
protected function mp3Array_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
     // Not sure if your service is sending back an object or an array or ?
    var info:Object = mp3Array.lastResult;
     doSomeFunction(info)
protected function doSomeFunction(data:Object):void
     trace(info.filename);

What class to use for date manipulation

To get some experience in using Java, I would like to write a small application. I want users to enter their names and birth dates, and then I want to present the number of days they have been walking around on this planet. Furthermore, I want to present the dates when the number of days will be a nice quantity ("On February 1st, 2007 your day age will be 10.000 days", or something like that).
To calculate the number of days, I have to do some date manipulation. Now I am wondering what date-related classes I should use. Of course, there is Date, but in the API specification, I see 'deprecated' for a lot of methods. Does this mean that the use of Date is discouraged, and/or should be avoided?
Then, there is a class Calendar, but that's an abstract class. Thus, I cannot create a Calendar object when a user has entered his birth date (in a Swing JTextField).
The use of GregorianCalendar seems a bit far-fetched to me, but maybe I am wrong.
In short, when a user has entered his birth date, I want to store it in some date-like object, and I want to be able to do some arithmetic based on that object.
Can anyone give me some clues?

Yes, that's the way to go.

Using Field Data for Interactive Graph?

Hello,
I work for a lighting company and our salesmen use in-house created sales materials on iPads in the field. We've found Acrobat PDF Files to be very effective in demonstrating how switching to different wattage bulbs can save them money, through the use of data calculation fields. However, we're also hoping to illustrate this visually through some type of interactive graph. Specifically, I'm trying to find a way, if possible, to make a "return on investment" bar graph that would tailor itself to the user. Here's an example of the type of graph I'm trying to make though a PDF:
Basically, this chart shows how much of a initial investment (in this case ~$25,000) would be mitigated over 10 years (eventually saving the company over ~$70,000). Not that the details matter much... I just don't really know where to start. I have a small amount of experience using fields, and I'm versed enough for simple calcuation and pulling data from other fields, however I have no idea how to turn this data into a graph of this complexity (or even know if it's possible).
Any advice would be vastly appeciated!
Many thanks,
Dan

Your best best is to use some presentation software such PowerPoint or Keynote.
On an iPad you could use Numbers to create the Graphs then put then copy the graphs into Keynote and have the run as interactive slides you click or touch an item like a slide. I don't know of any software that create interactive Graphs That you can create graphs that grow or shrink by inputting numbers.
I've Googled interactive Graph for Mac and come up with this:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Intreractive+Graph+for+Mac&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0 &start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=mozilla
and here is result for iPad:

Note this not advertisment (spam) for any product on search results of things that can create interactive Graphs on Mac and iPads.
