Using filter expression in file.openDialog

Reading the Adobe JavaScript pdf. I am unable to fully comprehend how one might filter the range of available files in the File.openDialog. I'd like to have the choices limited to .csv files. I know I need to have a different method depending on whether the user is on a mac or PC.

Understanding the filter function on OSX was non obvious for me as well. There is version of the Adobe's JavasScript Tools Guide that has an actual example of the filter function, then I found this thread which has a pretty good example implementation. Then there's the StackOverflow answer to a question I posted about this issue. Hope those references help.

Backup of MacBook using Airport Express and File Sharing

I have an iMac backed up (500GB internal drive) using Time Machine to a Western Digital external drive (1TB) via Firewire; I also have second external drive (500GB) for FCE and Photoshop use. I'm about to buy a MacBook (160GB drive) for my wife, and an Airport Express (connected via cable modem) to give her wireless access to the internet and wireless access to our printer. My first thought was to get the Airport Extreme and try wireless backups for both the iMac and MacBook using Time Machine and connecting the backup drive as an Airdisk. However, I've also been reading about the slow performance and iffy future Apple support for this arrangement.
Well, that's the windup -- here's the question. Is it feasible for me to just use filesharing in my iMac to have the MacBook work files (and folders) saved directly in the iMac public folder? The rationale is that I would change nothing in my current IMac/backup drive configuration. The iMac acts as a wireless network fileserver for the MacBook. The MacBook work files would then automatically get backed up as part of the iMac backups. There would be minimal network use for file use and storage between the two computers because only work files from the MacBook will get saved on the iMac.
Do I have this right, or am I missing something?

Well, that's the windup -- here's the question. Is it feasible for me to just use filesharing in my iMac to have the MacBook work files (and folders) saved directly in the iMac public folder?
Sure. This is not supported by Time Machine but you could open/save the files directly from the Finder or application in use.
OR you could use Time Machine to make a backup of the MacBook to the 1 TB external drive connected to the iMac. That is the scenario I use with my iBook and iMac.

Regular expressions in file mask in file protocol

Hi,
I wanted to check whether we can use regular expressions to in file mask with file protocol? As per the documentation, we can use regular expression in file mask only in case of ftp/sftp.
Regards,
Anuj

The documentation is not correct at this point. There is no regex support in file mask.

FILTER EXPRESSION

Hi fellow developers,
Got a question, im strugling to build a predefined filter using a filter expression iso the normal filter key.
Basically I want the user to be prompted to use one or the other InList filtering, so i was thinking to build a filter along this line of thought;
(promptvalue=1 and condition1) or (promptvalue=2 and condition2)
It didn't work and i stripped down the condition to the faulty part being the filter expression.
So now I created a filter that should always be true using that
<FILTER EXPRESSION="@Prompt('code?','N',,Mono,Free)" >
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal" >
<CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('code?','N',,Mono,Free)" />
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
In the trace I can see it evaluates to this after filling the prompt with 1
<FILTER EXPRESSION="1" >
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal" >
<CONSTANT CAPTION="1" />
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
Which is always true in my book, but never true according to BW...
Anyone had any luck using filter expressions in the SAP BW environment?
We are on the latest patch level btw...
Thanks for any insights,
Marianne

Hi Ingo,
Yes, know the document, thats where i got the idea in the first place.
BUT...
I cant get any of the examples with FILTER EXPRESSION to work, only the FILTER KEY versions.
Also, before you ask, I did put a keyfigure from the cube in the query to make sure the expression works...
I was thinking may be something changed in the later patch versions...
Any more ideas?
Thanks,
Marianne

Error lies on this line --- filter="./XXCUS_DIST_CODE='P'"
you need to use it like this --
Suppose you want condition on name in following XML Struction
<STUDENT>
<Name> Jatin </NAME>
</STUDENT>
the it should be ...
filter=".//<STUDENT>[NAME = 'Jatin']"
Not in your case ui suppose it should be filter=".//XXCUS_RAXINV/LIST_G_DIST/G_DIST[XXCUS_DIST_CODE='P']".
Hope it solves the problem.

How to use the prompted value in the filter expression

Hi
Is it possible to use the prompted value in the filter expression?
My requirement is that user will be prompted for a date field and I need to filter the records such that the records are displayed for the last 5 weeks from the date entered by the user.
If somehow I know how to use the prompted value in the filter expression then this requirement is easy to be done. If this is possible, please guide me?
If there are other ways to acheive the desired results then please suggest.
Thanks

Using report parameter in data set filter expression with an SSAS data source

I have an SSRS report with an SSAS data source.
Report parameters:
Param1 - text, single select
Param2 - text, multi-select
Dataset:
In Query Designer, I want to include Param1 as a filter expression so I can have "Dimension1 Begins with @Param2". I'm not sure the exact syntax to make param2 work in this.
The point is to filter my data set on param1. If A is selected for param1, I want the data set to have the filter saying "Dimension1 begins with A"
Anyone know how to use a report parameter in the dataset filter expression for an ssas data source?

hi,
try this maybe the dates you are comparing are not in the same format.
I test data template in EBS but not with dates.
to_date(date,'dd/mm/YY') between to_date(:p_from_date ,'dd/mm/YY') and to_date(:p_to_date ,'dd/mm/YY')
if dont works try to put values insted of your parameter like :
to_date(date,'dd/mm/YY') between to_date(:p_from_date ,'10/01/07') and to_date(:p_to_date ,'01/12/07') ... put dates where u can have some values in report...
if dont work then try to print the values of the 2 parameters and the date of the select somwhere in ur report to see what you have in it..
hope it helps..
Regards Joe.

Using sql in the filter expression

For a project I need to use a filter which is a construction
with BETWEEN dateFrom AND dateTo.
But the user does not choose these datevalues,
he chooses timePeriods which have a unique startDate.
The dashboard prompts are populated with these timePeriods and the user chooses 2 of these and 2
presentation variables are set.
Now I need to retrieve the according startDate for a chosen timePeriod.
I tried to do this using a sub-query in the filter expression,
but this seems not to be valid in Answers.
In standard SQL it is expressed like this:
select table1.* from table1
where table1.dateValue BETWEEN
+(select table2.startDate from table2 where table2.timePeriod = 'theChosenValue1')+
AND
+(select table2.startDate from table2 where table2.timePeriod = 'theChosenValue2')+
The return of the subqueries are single row, as it should in such constructions.
I want the where clause to be in the filter expression for the dateValue column in Answers.(trimming of the WHERE keyword)
Is there any other construction that does this trick in the BI Answers/Dashboard environment to do this?
Kind regards

Hi Micek,
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes you are right the ChosenValues will be replaced by presentation-variables in the final dashboard,
I just am testing it with constant values in the Answers module.
The problem seems to be that it is not allowed to use a sub-query in the filter expression.
The Answers web application says there is a syntax problem near <select>, while I expect the SQL to be valid.
I guess not all regular SQL is allowed in filter expressions.
And since the report does not try to fetch data, no log of a generated, real SQL is written to the logfile.
I need some alternative for the subquery, but one that is allowed in the filter expression.
The problem is based on the fact that the user chooses a different value then the one that is filtered on.
The timePeriods represent just one startDate, but I cannot use timePeriod itself to filter on.
Because I need a between value, wich does not make sense for a timePeriod element
such as '01-08' or 'JAN-08'.
Several timePeriod notations are used, so using SubString and || to calculate a numeric value from the timePeriod varchar2 is not a good option.
The error says:
Error getting drill information: SELECT "....
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <SELECT>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
Any input is welcome

Using Variable within Filter expression will not parse.

IN ODI 11.1.1.3.0, I defined a Variable (SelectionDate) of type "Alphanumeric", Default Value = 01-JAN-1970 with the select query: select to_char( SYSDATE , 'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual.
I intend to use this variable as a scenario variable (parameter) that receives a value in the form of 'DD-MON-YYYY', from the execution environment.
I refreshed the variable and it received the value 16-JUN-2011 (today's date). So far so good.
I then defined an Interface and used the variable in a filter expression:
Active Filter: Checked
Implementation Tab:
SOURCE_VIEW.SELECTION_DATE BETWEEN TO_DATE('#PROJECT1.SelectionDate', 'DD-MON-YYYY') AND (TO_DATE('#PROJECT1.SelectionDate', 'DD-MON-YYYY') + 1)
Execute on :Source
When verifying the expression (click on the checkmark in the implementation tab) I always get: Expression is not valid for this DBMS. java.sql.SQLDataException: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected.
I cannot get the filter to parse. Thank you for your ideas of what might be wrong.
Jose.

Yes, it worked when placed in the package.
I think the expression editor is sending the string as it is written to the database in order to parse it, without replaceing the #variable for the actual value. Anyway thanks.
Jose

SSRS dataset filter expression using OR

I have a dataset that I need to set a filter for. What I need the filter to do is check 3 different fields to see if either one of them are in a parameter. The parameter is multi-value. So, I have a parameter set to 1, 2, 3. I need the dataset to return
records where either Field A, B, or C are IN 1, 2, 3.
Anyone know how to do this? I tried to have the filter expression = Fields!A.Value or Fields!B.Value or Fields!C.Value then the dataset filter operator "IN" and the dataset filter value = Parameter, but I just get an error on the dataset filter
(cannot evaluate filter expression error)

Hello,
Mulitple expressions added to SSRS dataset filter are evaluated as AND (Expr1 AND Expr1 AND Expr3). If you are looking for a OR like Expr1 Or Expr2 Or Expr3 then you can use this solution explained below.
Dataset Query used for this test:
select *
from (values ('Row1',1,1,4),('Row2',2,1,3),('Row3',3,1,2),('Row4',3,2,2),('Row5',5,3,2),('Row6',5,6,7),('Row7',2,6,7)) x(DataRow,A,B,C)
Report Parameter :
Defined a multi select report parameter named "Parameter1" with string datatype and added values 1, 2, 3.
Dataset Filter Expression:
=Filter(Parameters!Parameter1.Value,CStr(Fields!A.Value)).Length + Filter(Parameters!Parameter1.Value,CStr(Fields!B.Value)).Length + Filter(Parameters!Parameter1.Value,CStr(Fields!C.Value)).Length
The expression above uses the Filter function in SSRS to check if the field A\B\C has any match in the parameter1 mutli select parameter. If yes the length property will return a value > 0. Repeat the expression for all the other fields and add the Values
for length property.
Use > operator in the filter dialogue box
and value as 0 as shown in the snapshot below.
The output is shown below. Row 6 is missing as Field A, B or C doesnt have 1, 2,3 as values. If this is the output you are looking for this solution should work for you.

How do I import Outlook Express message files into Outlook 2013 without using LiveMail

I bought a new Windows 7 computer and have copied the Outlook Express .dbx files from the old XP computer onto the new one. Outlook 2013 's import facility does not have a .dbx option. I do not want to use Windows Live for anything. How do
I import my Outlook Express mail files into Outlook 2013 ?

Hi,
It isn't only to Outlook 2013, other versions of Outlook cannot access the .dbx files directly.
In the situation, Windows Live Mail is needed to transfer the mail data to Outlook.

Error using Filter with SQL Expression

Hey all -
New to Oracle BI, and getting a problem with Filters that use SQL Expressions.
The column I'm filtering on is a 4 digit year, expressed as a VARCHAR2(4 byte) in the physical database. My SQL Expression in the filter is:
Column: CAL YEAR 4 DIGIT
Operator: Is equal to/in
SQL Expression: TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -24), 'YYYY'))
when I click on the "Results" Tab I get the following error message:
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <(>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
I've isolated the issue to the expression above. If I put in a literal value and supply a four digit year like below it works:
Column: CAL YEAR 4 DIGIT
Operator: Is equal to/in
SQL Expression: *2008*
Any ideas on what's causing my problem?
Thanks!

SQL View does not display unless data is returned by the query. Is that normal?
Also, none of these options shows the literal result of the expression we built, i.e.:
expression: CAST(YEAR(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -24, CURRENT_DATE)) as CHAR)
result: *2008*
Having the ability to test expressions and see their results would be very helpful in debugging. If anyone knows how to do that please share!
Thanks!
MacOk, Probably shoud have figured this out before, but in response to my own question, the way to view the result of an expression is to add the expression as a column and include it in the Table Presentation.
