Using a filter with selection?

Hello, I am using CS6 extended with windows7 and am pretty new to Photoshop. What I am trying to do with a portrait image is use the Filter/Stylize/Diffuse/Anisotropic on everything but the face. I want to kee the face sharp but I love the effect the diffuse has on the hair and background. I've been messing around with this for a few days and haven't come up with a solution othe than cutting the selection of the face, applying the filter then pasting the face back on but because of the filter it leaves a grey edge at the cut line. I'm sure there is a simple process that I'm missing. Any help would be much appreciated:) Thank you for your time:)

All you need to do is right click on your layer, and click "convert to smart object." Then apply the filter. You'll then see a little white box below your layer. This is known as a layer mask. Click on the white box (layer mask) and paint over the area that you do not want filtered with a soft, black brush. Job done.

Problem with SSAS cube reporting action when using pivot filter with cubevalue function

Hi everyone,
I have a quite specific problem when I combine cube actions (Reporting Action SSRS) with Excel's cubevalue() function.
The problem is when I use a pivot filter as a parameter for the cubevalue() function. The action item does not show up in the context menue.
The cube action works fine when I do it from a "normal" pivot or if I use the cubevalue() function without the reference to a pivot filter (all the parameters in the function are "hard-coded").
I use SSAS 2012 and Excel 2010.
Thanks for yor help.

Hi everyone,
I actually figured out a way to solve this problem. I had to use a detour to solve this bug in Excel (at least I think it's a bug).
What I needed to do: I had to make Excel belive that the filter is actuall hard-coded and does not come from a pivot filter. This was only possible by adding a new calculated measure to the cube that gives back the MEMBER_Unique_Name to the current member
passed. This "value" can then be used to go back to the cube and select the cubemember function. Here is a small example.
This is the cube member:
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey] AS
[Company Branch].[Reg - Comp - Bran Name].CurrentMember.Properties("MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME", TYPED),
VISIBLE = 0 ;
And this is then done in a hidden Excel cell:
=CUBEMEMBER("Metrics";
IF(RIGHT(CUBEVALUE("Metrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]");5)="[ALL]";"[ALL]";
RIGHT(CUBEVALUE("Metrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]");LEN(CUBEVALUE("GlobalMetrics";<PivotFilter>;"[Measures].[RegCompBranNameKey]"))-57)
I had to use the UniqueName property because I have a combined filter. That's also the reason for this truncation and also useing the last part of it. If you just have a straight key you more easily use it.

Strange behavior when using servlet filter with simple index.htm

I am new to J2EE development so please tolerate my ignorance. I have a web application that starts with a simple index.htm file. I am using a servlet filter throughout the website to check for session timeout, redirecting the user to a session expiration page if the session has timed out. When I do something as simple as loading the index.htm page in the browser, the .css file and one image file that are associated, or referenced in the file are somehow corrupted and not being rendered. How do I get the filter to ignore css and image files??? Thank you!!

Report -- filter with selection list -- show all values after select page

Hello!
I have the following problem:
- I have a report
- this report can be filtered with a selection-list
- the selection list is based on dynamic LOV and has a null-value
- I added the code of the report the following, to filter the report after choosing a value of the selection list:
... and (instr(type, decode(:P8_FILTER_type, '%null%',type,:P8_FILTER_type)) > 0)
This works very well.
But my problem is: When the user logs out and the next time, he logs in, the selection list shows " --- show all values --- " (my null-display-value) and the report is empty "no values found".
---> I want to show the first time, the page is selected ALL the values of the report. (this is now only possile if I press the button which belongs to the selection list)
I hope, somebody understands my problem.
Thank you so much,
LISA

Hello Lisa,
The first time it's probably NULL.
So what you can do in your where: (instr(type, decode(NVL(:P8_FILTER_type,'%null%'), '%null%',type,:P8_FILTER_type)) > 0)
Off topic: I also wonder if that where clause can't be simpler? Do you rely need the instr?

Abap Routine in DTP Filter with selection in a table

Hi guys,
I need help please.
I'm trying include a abap routine in a DTP filter, for this case I need to make a select in a dso table and return a list of criterias.
Example: for this characteristic 0GL_ACCOUNT i need in a fiter 20 or more 0GL_ACCOUNT of table "/BIC/DSO_XXX".
How can I select more than one 0GL_ACCOUNT in a tranparency table "/BIC/DSO_XXX"... and put in a DTP Fiter.
DTP FILTER ROUTINE.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          read table l_t_range with key
               fieldname = 'GL ACCOUNT'.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          if l_idx <> 0.
            modify l_t_range index l_idx.
          else.
            append l_t_range.
          endif.
          p_subrc = 0.

Try this:
DATA: lv_rows TYPE n LENGTH 10,
        it_zbw_pl_proj LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF /BIC/DSO_XXX
        lw_zbw_pl_proj LIKE LINE OF it_zbw_pl_proj .
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO lv_rows FROM /BIC/DSO_XXX Where <your condition> .
SELECT * INTO TABLE it_zbw_pl_proj FROM zbw_pl_proj where <your condition>
IF lv_rows <> 0.
    LOOP AT it_zbw_pl_proj INTO lw_zbw_pl_proj .
      l_t_range-iobjnm = '/BI0/GL_ACCOUNT'.
      l_t_range-fieldname = 'GL_ACCOUNT'.
      l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
      l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
      l_t_range-low = lw_zbw_pl_proj-GL_ACCOUNT.
      l_t_range-high = lw_zbw_pl_proj-GL_ACCOUNT.
      APPEND l_t_range.
    ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
    " No data found for Current Forecast Version.
    p_subrc = 4.
ENDIF.
I just copied this data from a DTP routine where i am fetching Versions from a DB table zbw_pl_proj. You may need to change the naming convention and performance tune the code ( like defining internal table only to hold GL_account and then only selecting GL_Account from ODS).
Hope this helps!

Using a list with selection formula

I am trying to paste a large list of numbers (1000) into my record selection criteria. The database field is a string.
These are specific invoices I am using my report to retrieve data on. My list of numbers originates from an excel spreadsheet, and I am using a formula to add quotation marks and a comma to separate each invoice number so my list is like this
"1234",
"5678",
"1256",
I am then copying the list from excel into my report's selection criteria, adding in {invoice number} in [.......]
My report is not returning anything, but - when I comment out all of the entries in my list except for the first item (and move my closing bracket ] ) the report returns the results for that one entry.
Does anyone have thoughts on what may be causing this to occur?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

thanks Jason - I know the IN statement has a limit of 1000 entries (my list really has about 3000 entries - but I have broken this into several IN [] OR IN []....type statements to work around that
I seem to have this issue anytime there is more than 1 entry in the IN clause.
I did notice that if I convert the database field I am using as a filter to a different datatype, this works ok - to explain everything so far....
invoice number is a string, so
if I say {invoice number} IN ["1","2","5","105","57234890"] returns nothing
if I say {invoice number} IN ["1"] I get the data for invoice "1"
if I use CDBL({invoice number}) IN [1,2,5,105,57234890] it works and returns data for all invoices in the list
So now, I guess I found a way to make it work in this case, but I am even more confused as to why it does not work when specifying the string in quotes

Photo shop is not allowing me to use the "Intersect with current selection"

Photoshop is not allowing me to use the "Itersect with current selection" marquee. (The "UNION" between two selection marquees.) When I press the [Shift] + [Option] keys while dragging on a first selection marquee, this just creates a new selection and removes the old selection. I have also tried using the "intersect with selection" icon which is not working either.

Lack of experience possibly'.
To get the 360 degree scroll you need to be 'zoomed in' closer (than 1:1) to a picture or web page so that it is too large to fit on your screen.
As you know, with Windows you need, at all times' to scroll the bars at the bottom and/or right of the screen to move the display around (a little like an altazimuth telescope is manouvred). Also, if you accidently leave the scroll bar when dragging, the screen immediately snaps back to where you started from rather than knowing how far down you got before your cursor moved off the bar (if it did). You are certain to know what I mean.
If you are similarly 'zoomed in' to a picture on your new Mac, you don't necessarily need to click and drag on the scroll bars at the bottom (or right) of the window, or use the scroll wheel to move the screen vertically. With your Mac, when zoomed in to a greater than 100%, the mouse allows one toscroll 360 degrees with the mouse - not just vertically. But the picture (or web page needs to be zoomed in somewhat - i.e. greater than 1:1)
With Web pages in Safari and any other Web Browser (with the possible exception of IE with which I have had no experience with sometime before 2002 and I have only 'heard' that it doesn't work ), if you use the keys 'cmd and '+" together.
At he end of the day, you just need to keep exploring your new Mac and have fun finfing all the added extras for yourself.
(There's do many little treasures, it just gettng the time to find them all, in my experience.)

Need your feedback!!! Who is using a filter?

I'd like to know who all is using a filter with their Creator built applicaiton.
In specific, I'd like to know if you are using getPathTranslated() as mentioned in this post: http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=50520
If you are, would you please reply to this thread and tell me what app server or web server you are using (Tomcat, JBoss, Sun's, etc).
THANKS!

So no one out there uses a filter?
How do you all verify user's as having been logged in then? Do you add code to each page to check the session?

Filter with similar request

Hi Gurus,
What is the use of filter with similar request option in which scenarios we will use these option.
Thanks,

Hi, David
Yes, this same one is the problem. But as indicates Obiee 1 Kenobi is a problem recognized by Oracle (Based on further research, it is not possible to use a union table to pass the filter to a target table.Bug 6067587 has been raised as a fix for this, and the "fixby" version is 11.1.1.2)
At the moment solve the problem using filters with AND-OR.
Thank you for your help.

ClassCastException, filter with webservice

I put together 'nothing' filter with wrapper on request.
          When I try to put filter in front of webservice, it causes the exception.
          If I use the filter with plain servlet, it is ok.
          If I modify the filter to use original request, not the wrapper, it is also fine.
          Has anybody experienced something similar ?
          Is something conceptual wrong with puting a filter in front of webservice ?

It is woring file with the servlet and giving the expected result. But when I apply it with the jsp it shows me blank screen(Browser window). I Debug it and find out that filter is being called with the jsp but when response being compress and write back into the outputstream, actually it is not writing anything.
If u can help me for the same, would be very nice foe me.

Trigger with SELECT-FOR-UPDATE

There is a trigger on a table, which updates a particular column with SYSDATE BEFORE an INSERT OR UPDATE in the table.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER my_schema.trg_Order
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON my_schema.ORDER
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
:NEW.LAST_UPDATE_DATE := SYSDATE;
END;
If I update the record using PL/SQL with SELECT-FOR-UPDATE & then UPDATE, the column LAST_UPDATE_DATE is not updated with the SYSDATE.
But if it is done by using the UPDATE Statement, then the column LAST_UPDATE_DATE is correctly updated with the SYSDATE.
Why? How can I ensure that for SELECT-FOR-UPDATE & then UPDATE will also update the LAST_UPDATE_DATE with SYSDATE.

The Table Order has a BLOB column.

Can I use Array Binding with a ExecuteDataSet or ExecuteReader methods?

I want to use Array binding with selects. From the examples that I see so far it seems like everyone is showing the ExecuteNonQuery method. I wonder if I can use this functionality with a regular query that returns ref cursoros.

what is the error you recieve?

How to filter with multiple selection on a single column on external list, currently only one filter per column is available.

I have external list where i want to apply multiple filter for every column like we do in Excel spreadsheet - we can filter a spreadsheet column by selecting multiple checkbox for every column. I am using Sharepoint 2010
Is this possible in sharepoint 2010? Any idea how to acheive that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rahul,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use filter with multiple values on a column of an external list in SharePoint 2010.
Per my knowledge, there is not an OOB way to achieve it. As a workaround, you can custom the web part to implement it. There is an articles for your reference:

In addition, you can use a third party solution to achieve it, please take a look at:

I hope this helps.
