Using conversion functions

When using the numeric conversion functions, such as to I16, what determines whether a number greater than the upper limit is coerced to the upper limit or is wrapped around from the lower limit?

In general, LV will coerce the way that the CPU does. Integers to
integer will take the lower portion, performing a modulo operation.
Float to integer will pin, typically to the correctly signed maxInt.
If it is important to your algorithm, build a quick test VI.

Using a function in a report query

Why can't I call a function (basically a query) in a report query like I can from from SQL?
Consider the following:
Select MyFunctionName(arg) from dual;
From SQL, it works great! No problem:
In a report query, [Application/Shared Components/Report Queries] It doesn't work. I get an XML error:
XML Parsing Error: not well formed
<MyFunctionName('arg')><?xml version="1.0"?>
----------------------^
Why?
Looks like APEX is not even executing the function...
See I have a table with a CLOB field that contains properly formatted HTML. I cannot simply query for that content, since Oracle escapes the tags in the conversion to XML. I have to (somehow) tell Oracle to keep it's grubby mitts off my CLOB content. As far as I can tell, using DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars is the only way to keep Oracle from escaping the html stored in the table--in fact, the DBMS_XMLGEN documentation states that it why this functionality exists in the first place!
This is why I am trying to use a function. Simply queries don't work. The function I wrote works beautifully in SQL, but not in a report query...
Edited by: Vorlon on Aug 5, 2010 1:20 PM

Note from the first post:
"In a report query, [Application/Shared Components/Report Queries]" Let me clarify: This report query is used in a BI Publisher report. Getting the information to the screen isn't the problem. I have that working. :-) It's just when I try to get the report to print that I see APEX has escaped the output before reaching BI Publisher--so BI Publisher is not the issue. I have a xsl template that will process the embedded HTML, but APEX is escaping my data before I can act on it. In other words:
It seems Apex is not creating the XML properly, since it escapes everything. Even when the function passes back data correctly.
Has anyone else seen this? Ideas for a workaround?
Thanks!

Conversion function module

Hello Friends,
When ever i down load into excel file the filed 'WERKS' is becoming from '0780' to 780 and when i try to upload i am getting as 780 which is creating some problems. Is there any conversion function module to convert the the field WERKS from 780 to 0780.
Thanks in advance.
Siva Kumar.

Hi
When you are using FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' to download to excel file, you need to populate the parameter FILE TYPE with DBF.
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
exporting
filename = p_file
<b>filetype = 'DBF'</b>

How to use the function module CONVERSION_FACTOR_GET?

Hi Experts,
I have to use convert the value of a field from units 'HL' to 'HHL'. According to me, we can use the function module CONVERSION_FACTOR_GET. However, i am not able to know how to use it?
Can anyone explain how to use the FM, i mean what should be the importing and exporting parameter.... For recap, i need to convert HL to HHL, for example 3 HL to 0.03 HHL.
Please help.
Rewards for sure!
Thanks in advance.

Hi
If it is Unit Conversion better use the following Fun modules
UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE
MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT
goto SE37 first and execute them by entering some value and then use it in the code after confirming it

Can we use ERMS functionality for creation of a Grantor Application ?

I would like to use external web form or Adobe form on the internet where potential Grantee applies for grants.
The information collected (upfront validation through Adobe forms) is transferred to CRM Grantor via ERMS which created a grant application in the CRM Grantor system.
How would the ERMS solution work ? is this a viable option as I am not confident of exposing CRM Web UI to internet (external users - public access).
Are there other potential viable solutions for Grant application process.
Thanks in advance
Hemant

Hi,
The potential solution could be like, the grantee (external user - public) applies for grant by filling an online grant application form (web form or Adobe form). The information collected by the online form generates an email which is readable by ERMS (web form to email conversion)
This incoming email subjected to some workflow rules can lead to creation of a grants application in SAP CRM Grantor and the user receives communication (email) that his application has been received and the following if the application number (same number as created in SAP)
Let me know if this makes sense, I am looking for potential solutions to address this and one of the way is to use ERMS functionality.
Thanks again

Use Conversion Routine in Infopackage

Hello friends,
I would like to know whats the purpose and function of 'Use Conversion Routine' in the Infopackage under 'Data Selection' tab. I wasnt able to get any data as long as that box was checked.As soon as I unchecked the box, i was able to get data.Please explain in detail.
Points will be assigned.
Thanks.

Hi,
The function of "Use Conversion Routine" is to convert the data that user enter in the field (is called external format) into internal format (database format).
example Alpha Conversion (general used): in the field ABC (assume this char is 8 characters long) you enter value '1234' and you check that box, this will look up into your data source with value ABC = '00001234' and match then data will be extracted, but if <u>in your data source</u> the value of field ABC is '1234' the data won't be extracted.
in your case, please check in your data source at field you selected whether the data format match or not with value that you have entered(with condition checked or unchecked).
I hope it helps
Cheers

Currency conversion issue in SPM. We are getting incorrect results with SPM conversion function from one of the document currency to USD.

Currently we are using SPM 2.0 version and we have been facing currency conversion issues.
Please help me in following aspects.
1) Where actually currency conversion happens in SPM. Is it the global program which does the conversion or other way.
2) We have conversion issue for one of the currency where conversion function is giving incorrect results when converting from one of the document currency to USD. here The respective document currency is considering the 1:1 ratio with Dollar which is actually incorrect.
3) We have verified in both BI side(currency tables) and even ECC side.
Please help me in understanding this issue and let me know if you need more information on this.
Its an production issue and appreciated your immediate inputs.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi Arun,
The following information may be helpful to you.The SSA_HELPER_PROGRAM has options regarding currency settings.
EXCH_RATE_TYPE: This flag governs the exchange rate type which will be used for currency conversion in data management. For example if RSXAADMIN contains an entry EXCH_RATE_TYPE = „ZSPM‟ then the conversion type used for currency conversion is ZSPM. The default value for the exchange rate type is „M‟. More details can be found in the note 1278988.
CURRENCYCONVERSION: By default data management converts all the measures in transaction currency to reporting currency and copies over to the corresponding measure in reporting currency. If the measure in reporting currency is already available in source it might be desirable to disable the currency conversion. To disable the conversion you can make an entry CURRENCYCONVERSION = „ „ in the table RSXAADMIN. This can also be achieved by running the program SSA_HELPER_PROGRAM with the option DEACTIVATE_CURRENCYCONVERSION. The conversion can be reactivated by running the same program with option ACTIVATE_CURRENCYCONVERSION.
UNITCONVERSION: Similar to above. To deactivate unit conversion you can use the program with option and DEACTIVATE_UNITCONVERSION and to reactivate ACTIVATE_UNITCONVERSION. By default both the conversions are switched on
EXTERNAL_CURRENCIES: Normally most of the international currencies are stored with two decimal places however certain currencies do have 0 and 1 decimal place too. For example JPY has 0 decimal places. SAP internal format stores even these currencies with 2 decimal places and at the time of display it changes the value to right decimal places. In case a file from external source is loaded to SPM it might have the format with 0 decimal places in the file. To convert it to SAP standard format post processing needs to be done on this value. If that is the case you can set the flat EXTERNAL_CURRENCIES = „X‟ in the table which will enable the post processing for these values. This flag can also be set and reset using the helper program using the option TURNON_EXT_CURRENCY_FORMAT and TURNOFF_EXT_CURRENCY_FORMAT.

Optimum Closing Stock using Simulation functionality of BPS

Hi ,
Has any body has idea of doing simulation kind of things on planned sales/planned inward shipments to reach optimum closing stocks for a distribution center,
(Inventory) i mean in BW 3.5 like using BPS functionality.
If anyone has exposure to these area pls share with me.
Thanks in Adavance...

If you do not prefer to create new company codes and undergo a conversion effort, you can go with the first alternative and then engage SAP SLO services to replace the shortened fiscal year 2013 in your system to the correct fiscal year. That way, your next fiscal will remain 2013, and your fiscal year will not be always 1 year ahead of your actual fiscal year.
Please also read the following SAP note. There is a lot of material to read in the attachments to this note, but the time that you spend reading it is time well spent.

Can not use TOUCH function on Nokia 6600 slide

Can not use TOUCH function on Nokia 6600 slide-
turned on sensor in phone settings, but when i touch the PHONE it does not work.
Please, tell me how use this function or maybe my phone is out of order

As long as your Sensor Settings are On within Menu, Settings, Phone, Sensor Settings then you just need to do the following -
Tapping
The tap function allows you to quickly
mute and reject calls and alarm tones, and
to display a clock just by double-tapping
the back or front of the phone when the
slide is closed.
Select Menu > Settings > Phone >
Sensor settings to activate the tap
function and vibration feedback.
Mute calls or alarms
Double-tap the phone.
Reject a call or snooze an alarm after
muting it
Double-tap the phone again.
Display the clock
Double-tap the phone.
(If you have missed calls or received new
messages, you must view them before you
can see the clock.)
Simply, if you double tap the screen when the slide is closed and you can see the clock appear then it is working.
I hope this makes it clearer for you.

Can we use Evaluate function in Prompt

Hi all
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt?
I need some exposure on how to use it.
I am working on a HRMS-OLTP Source where I need to work with Oracle Functions from OBIEE.
IF somebody can tell me that, It will be a favour for me....
ThanQ
Anand V

Hi All,
Here's an example of how to use evaluate. This use calls the Oracle TO_DATE function: EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)' as DATE, '03/03/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Here's how it works: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,
-Joe

Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt

Hi
Can anybody tell me
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt.
If yes...How
Thanks in Adv

Yes ! You Can!
while creating the dashboard prompt, under "Show" pick SQL results and you write the SQL statement and include the EVALUATE function.
I have several such examples. Most of of dashboard pages are parameter driven.
1. 1st paratmeter - users specify the dates
2. 2nd parameter - constrains the results for the period specified in 1st paramter and my SQL for 2nd paramter looks like this -
SELECT table1.column1
FROM table, datedim1, table1,table2
WHERE datedim1.date BETWEEN EVALUATE( 'TO_DATE(%1,%2)','@{presentation variable1}','dd/mm/yyyy') AND EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)', '@{presentation variable 2}','dd/mm/yyyy')

FR Studio 11.1.1.3 : You're not authorized to use this function...

Hi,
we have FR Studio (client, v. 11.1.1.3.0238 and Report Server v. 11.1.1.3.0.0301) distributed on Citrix terminal server (windows 2003 32-bit) and on latest 2 prod servers we have this error "You're not authorized to use this function. Contact your administrator." appearing.
On QA server FR Studio works fine, we had an issue there when we forgot to set ports
8295-8299 to "listening mode" = they were not defined on FR server's FR_servp.properties config files.
This is also fixed on Prod FR servers and we have double checked firewalls are open.
After adding them to QA FR servers we had no issues with FR Studio on QA, but on PROD the issue still exists.
We have also checked that this shouldn' have anything to do with authentication.
Odd thing is that we get at least partially same sort of error messages on both working and non-working FRClient.log files.
On FRClient.log there are for example following records:
08-04 09:26:11 ERROR ConfigResourceBundle     Could not find fr_configcache.properties file
08-04 09:26:11 ERROR SerializableResourceBundle     Could not get registry instance

That propably gives already an idea what FR Studio is logging.
Does anyone have idea about this .properties file for frconfig cache?
Should that be defined somehow during system configuration as we don't find that from any of our environments?
Just for additional info:
We have used following packages and installed HFM Admin Client, FR Studio and EPMA File Generator GUI.
•     02. installer - V17382-01.zip
•     03. foundation 1 of 4 - V17397-01.zip
•     03. foundation 2 of 4 - V17369-01.zip
•     04. architect - V17398-01.zip
•     08. financial reporting - V17378-01.zip
•     11. financial management - V17365-01.zip
Patches:
+ hfm_11113_50-p9976978_111130_WINNT.zip
+ financial reporting_11113_20-p9657652_11113_WINNT.zip
During the installation we selected:
Foundation \
Performance Management Architect\Performance Management Architect File Generator
Financial Management\
Financial Management Client
Financial ManagementADM Driver
Financial Reporting\
Financial Reporting Studio Client
I noticed that apparently no configuration was run neither in QA or in PROD, not sure though if FR Studio even requires that? HFM Admin Client does work on all environments Citrix servers.
But in Dev and LAB where FR Studio is working fine - FRClient logs absolutely no recods at all and there we did run configuration to tell which SQL db is on background.
Not sure though whether that config run has any significance for FR Studio.
Sorry for extremely long story, but just in case if anybody has faced similar issues and whether there could be something with Windows server settings I should go and check?
Btw... even adding this fr_configcache.properties manually (to try to highlight FR server name and port) it seems FR Client can't find the file.
