Using formula in Print Design Layout

I need to use the formula fields in teh print design layout procedures. I would like to create a field which displays a content conditioned on another field. IF-THEN-ELSE
suppose Field_88 needs the formula
IF(Field_87=="mom") THEN display "Hi Mom" ELSE display nothing
Regards
Henrik Lyder

Henrick,
You are on the right path. From what I understand about your requirement I am giving below the steps.
Step1: Add a formula field and in the Field Properties window of that field in the Content Tab. Reference the field whose Value you are checking.
Let us suppose Field_89 is your new formula field and in the Contents Tab you will have Field_87=="mom".
NOTE: There is no need for the IF. Just Field_xxx=="value".
Now in Field_88 properties in the General tab select Field_89 as the Link to field. When you do this if the Formula in Field_89 is TRUE then this field will appear. If you want Hi Mom to appear then define Field_88 as a Formula field too and in Content tab set function Concat("Hi ",Field_87)
Let me know if you have questions

Print Designer Layout - Variable

Hello,
I need the Invoice Due Date (OPCH.DocDueDate) on the Vendor Liability Aging report. But this table is not in the list in "Business Partner Aging (details)(System)". Is there a variable that I can use to get the A/P invoice due date? Is there another way to make this work?
thanks,
Yi

Hi Quentin,
ALT+CLICK can sometime cause conflicts and errors and sometimes...inconsistant data extraction.
eg: I am trying to design an Outgoing Paymnt Template similar to the SBODemoUK. I need to show on the second repetitive area the Document Dates of the the ones that are being payed in the Outgoing Payment which is displaying for the AP Invoices correctly, but the AP Credit Note's date is incorrect...cos its pulling the date from the AP Invoice Table and not the Outgoing Payments Table (ps: Outgoing Table does not have the date as a field anyway!!!
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated

Calculate CUmmulative Using Formula Field

hi all community,
i want to calculate Cumulative of a field by using formula In Query Designer. Plz help me to calculate cumulative not by setting its property but using formula field in query designer.
Thanks in advance

Creating customer formula to be used in the Query Designer

hi,
How can i code a specific formula to be used in the query designer. As an example, i need to calculate dynamically working days between two dates.
i tried to find the corresponding BAdl interface with no success..
Do you have any suggestion ?
Ludovic

Hi..
I have a scenario ... it may help..
The group HR administrator wants a detailed line item report that lists all employee absences in a given period. The report is to show the employee number, the absence start date, together with the end date of the absence and show the number of calendar days the employee was absent.
The good thing about using this technique is that no redesign work is needed from your technical BW team, no ABAP is involved and best of all, it quick and easy.
Solution:
For this example I created an ODS object called Absence that holds basic employee information along with individual absence record data.
Follow the steps below:
     Open the BEx Query Designer and create a new report on your chosen InfoProvider.
              Drag the Employee, Valid from and Valid to characteristics into the Rows section of the screen.
If needed, apply data selection restrictions to the characteristics as pop up
     Right click on the Key Figures structure and select New Formula
     In the new formula window right click on Formula Variable and choose New Variable
     The Variables Wizard will launch and will require you to specify the variable details.
( Click the NEXT button if the Introduction screen appears )
     Enter the variable details on the General Information as shown in pop up
Enter the Variable Name , Description and select Replacement Path in the Processing by field.
Click the Next Button.
     In the Characteristic screen (pop up) select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date).
Click the Next Button.
     The Save Variable screen (pop up) displays a summary of the new variable.
Click on the Finish button to save the variable.
     Repeat steps first four for to create a second variable for the second date to be used in the calculation.
In the example shown, the characteristic 0DATETO is used to create the variable ABSEND (Absence End Date)
Define the Calculation............
            The new calculated key figure will now show in the columns section of the BEx query designer
excute...
with regards,

Using Mac 0S X Yosemite, in Print Setting when I select layout / arrows select print settings / there is no Basic drop down box to set color management on or off. I'm using Artisan 835 printer.

Using Mac 0S X Yosemite, in Print Setting when I select layout / arrows select print settings / there is no Basic drop down box to set color management on or off. I'm using Artisan 835 printer.

No - I got the iMac 27 because it was calibrated at the factory(?) and was highly recommended by friends and photographers. No complaints at all, but this printer issue is driving me crazy. I was thinking that if I upgraded to an epson pro printer ICC profile will be on there website. I can't find any for the 835. By the way I didn't calibrate the old dell monitor either and I have had several photos published with no problem at all. Just a note, on epson website there are no printer stating they will run with 10.10 Yosemite. I was looking at the R2000 series. Right now I editing photos that I have to have ready by Jan, maybe by then epson will have something ready.

I wanted to use an online website as my digital printing/design service

Please recommend me a digital printing / design web site. Or is it really worth doing this? Or I have to seek some other alternatives.
I wanted to start my own digital/printing business like signage and banners and posters. Any advic will help me out.
Thank you very much.

So, you want to be the middle-man in this venture? Customer comes to you and wants a trade show banner and a large format poster, you then give an online service all the info and they a.) design the piece for you, and b.) print the pieces for you? I'm not sure that's a very good idea. My advice would be look for a brick and mortar location where you can setup your own operation ( i.e., design and printing ). I know, this is no small task, so start out small with one workstation and one large format printer. If you, further on down the road, wanted to get adventuresome, then you could build an eCommerce site where customers can go to your site for design and printing. The problem with using online design and print services are you lose control over the process and if the customer wants to make changes and still keep within the deadline, then things get shaky. Some online services design but, then they ship the file to Taiwan for printing. Where's the proofing process in all this? Let's say everything goes along swimmingly, but then you take delivery of the goods and nothing is the way it should be? My point is you want to be in control of every step in the process. Even if you do not want to start up your own physical plant, focus on design and sub the printing to a local source where you can build a relationship and maintain consistency. You in no way want to wait and see until you get delivery that everything went as planned. I could be wrong, but what if I'm not?

How to display my FOX formula result on the layout

Hi Guru's,
I have created one Fox Formula for OTB using the given below calculation
Planned Open-To-Buy (Retail Price) = Sales / Retail Value + Last Planned Stock (Retail Value) - Open Purchase Orders (Retail Value with Tax) - GR Posting Date / Vendor RtlT + Promotion Sales / Retail .
When I am executing my Planning function (using BPS0) then it is working fine. It is showing the correct OTB value.
I have insterted this FOX function into my layout using UPSPM tcode. When I execute the OTB calc function from UPSPM then correct data gets saved into my real-time cube. However OTB data is not getting displayed on my layout.
Is there something else which I am supposed to do to display the result on the final layout ?
Thanks,
Ashu gupta.

Hii Guys,
Thanks a lot for your inputs. My issue has been resolved. I was not able to get the FOX formula output on the layout as the formula was not giving unique record. I have removed version char from my level and flds for selection. Now everything is working fine.
Thanka again for your valuable time.

Applet does not load on app server when Free Design Layout

Hi,
I have to embed a an applet in a webpage of an web application. Before I go on to anything.. let me first tell you, I am using Netbeans 6.0
As shown in the tuorial:
[http://www.netbeans.org/kb/articles/tutorial-applets-40.html]
1. I first made the "Applet" source say HelloApplet. java. After compiling and running it I get the HelloApplet.jar.
2. I created a WebApplication and then from the properties -> packaging -> I "Add Project" HelloApplet.jar.
3. Then I a webpage I "embeded" the applet.
4. I run the web app and the applet gets loaded and everything is just fine.
But before I go on I must tell you that the applet was designed in Null Layout. Now I edited the applet source once again and changed the layout to Free Design Layout*. ( this is available from Netbeans..on the HelloApplet.java .. go to the design view.. right click on the form and from the context menu you can change the layout to FreeDesign or whatever you might want).
When I expand the "Libraries" node I see the that the library Swing Layout Extensions - swing-layout-1.0.3.jar has been added.
When I "run" the "HelloApplet.java" file, the applet is shown in the appletviewer. No problems with that.
But!
When I try to Clean & Build and Run the WebApplication, the applet does not get loaded. On inspecting the java console I see the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdesktop/layout/GroupLayout$Group
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredConstructors(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)
... 10 moreIt clearly shows that the Free Design Layout has something to do with the GroupLayout which can be found by expanding the "Swing Layout Extensions - swing-layout-1.0.3.jar". Now when the HelloApplet.jar is created only the HelloApplet.class file gets included together with some other data but NOT the swing extensions. Hence when I run the web app the class file looks for the GroupLayout.class definition but can find it in the jar as its not included when the HelloApplet.jar is created.
But with null layout there isint a problem because null layout takes the definitions from the JRE on the machine.. and so it runs without a hitch.
My Question is : How can I run the applet with Free Design Layout? or is it possible to package the swing layout extensions in the HelloApplet.jar?<
Thanks for all your replies.
Cheers.

Is MS Word really the best Oracle can come with for designing layouts?

Hi all,
I am returning to XMLP development after first looking at it two years ago. Back then I advised our company not to use it for all report development as MS Word didn't seem robust or flexible enough to generate report layouts.
Now I am working for a client that wants to use XMLP and am trying to develop a fairly simple tabular report but with about 5 levels of grouping. The resulting RTF template therefore has 5 levels of nested tables. Whilst all the data is coming out fine, I am finding it very hard to make the layout look anything like as within Word it is hard to select table cells, visually establish the heirachy of the tables, etc. A simple task like putting the correct borders around cells so they render correctly is very hard to get right. In addition to this I have a number of areas where erroneous white space is being displayed.
Is Oracle seriously going to continue to expect developers to use MS Word as a layout designer or are they going to develop a decent product fit for the task? I am tired of hearing from sales guys, functional consultants and Oracle blurb how easy XMLP is to develop reports in. Yes, it is if the report is simple, but try and develop a more complex layout and it is anything but simple.
Anyone got any advice or experience they can share? Are there any alternative tools on the market? A response from Oracle wouldn't go a miss to help stem my disappointment with both product and company!
Cheers,
Jon.

Hi Guys,
forgive me, that I am biased - I am responsible for the BI Publisher tool development.
First one comment regarding the nested table - The code we generate for that is the worst part of the template builder. We already have implemented a new version, which is much better - to be released after 10.1.3.4. I apologize for us not fixing that issue earlier.
Yes, the BI Publisher template builder for Word is different. Naturally it is better for some tasks and maybe weaker for some other ones. Nobody forced the E-Business Suite teams to take up BI/XML Publisher - I was PM in one of the teams so I know for sure - we all decided that we rather use BI Publisher. In our eyes it is a step forward and not 10 steps back.
I was product manager for Oracle Contracts. We tried to create a contract layout with Oracle Reports and it was not pretty. Sure If I create just some data reports all the classical reporting tools are fine (Do you really like these other tools???)
But creating contracts or more business style reports like invoices is MUCH easier with BI Publisher. With the first generation of the tools, it took my 2 hours to convert a customer contract example (in word naturally) into a production ready contract layout. Now, I could probably do it in 15 minutes.
While PL/SQL has great acceptance in the Oracle Community, it is not everyone's favorite - for example Peoplesoft, JD Edwards or Siebel developers can not use PL/SQL.
XSL has its quicks and wish it was a better language, but it is an OPEN standard.
We have migrated about 3000 Oracle reports, and all of the Peoplesoft and JD Edwards reports... I don't think it is a toy. It has the same concept as Java Server Pages and it uses Word for formatting instead of HTML.
True, knowing SQL does not help with BI Publisher reports, but user with a little SQL knowledge can do havoc to a production system. BI Publisher complete separates the responsibilities. SQL for professionals and Word for formatting. I think there are more people out there that know Word than SQL.
Embedding the XSL did not turn out all that straight forward. We are also missing one feature in the standalone, that we had in E-Business Suite and that will be included in the 11g release: Subtemplates.
Subtemplates allow you to write complicated XSL libraries that can be called from within RTF templates. For all of you who need to write complicated logic, it is much better to write the logic into an XSL stylesheet and just call out from within the Word template than coding to complicated logic into the Word document. Again my apologies for us not providing this option earlier.
People also had to learn java for Oracle applications, when they only needed to know PL/SQL before.
For all the people who don't like Microsoft Word, we are offering a web based alternative shortly after the 10.1.3.4 release. This tool may be better suited for data style reports - you will be the judge.
I appreciate your feedback and I open for any suggested improvements.
Thanks,
Klaus

Snow Leopard: can't use Adobe PDF printer through Distiller

I am on Quark 8.1.6.2 and Snow Leopard (10.6.4) and use Acrobat Pro 9.4.
To make a PDF file I am always used to going through the Quark print dialogue boxes, selecting Adobe PDF as the printer, setting up sizes, settings etc, saving to a .ps file then using Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4) Distiller to make a high res PDF for press. Worked fine, before I got Snow Leopard.
I have now read that Adobe PDF Printer is not available on Snow Leopard and that all applications that used Adobe PDF Printer to print pdfs will not be able to print pdfs.
See this link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html which only helps InDesign users, not Quark 8 users.
In the print dialogue box it no longer allows me to set up custom page sizes for a .ps file.
How do I now print to high res for print PDF (through a .ps file for Distiller). ie, I don't want to export to PDF through the Quark print dialogue, as it makes too big a file, that's why I need to go through Distiller first. Help!

PDF/X-3 is the best choice to use in those provided by Quark. You can read up on the PDF/X format here. For correct use, version 3 requires all fonts used to be embedded (which the Quark function does automatically). Version 3 also requires all images to be CMYK or spot color. That doesn't mean you can't use it for RGB, though. PDF/X-3 also allows calibrated RGB images and CIELAB.
I assume for pre-press output I should use ''Press - high quality/high resolution', but then Acrobat Distiller asks for settings too...
You don't go through Acrobat Pro or the Distiller at all when outputting a PDF from Quark. The function is built in. There are nice, short descriptions of the various PDF choices here.
When you select a style, the defaults are automatically applied. You will get center and trim marks and whatever else is in the default settings. After you have selected the PDF version you want to use, then click on the Options button. Turn off marks, downsampling of images, or whatever else you want to change. Click the Capture Settings button and Quark will then automatically use your last settings as the method to create PDF files. When clicking the option to capture, you'll be thrown back to the document the first time, so you'll have to go to the menu to choose Layout as PDF again. But you'll see the choice is on Captured Settings. So until you change it, all you have to do is choose a location and click Save.

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design?

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design? I'd like to know the advantages and features – all those I read about are to do with EPUB, collaborative working, teams or digital designs, and those don't reflect my work.

Very important is the span column paragraph property which allows to span several columns in a text frame or to split a column in several sub columns.
Very important is the tag feature, which is also important for creating PDFs with unlimited access.
A lot of problems with footnotes and page layout have been solved due to a better text engine. Up to CS5.5 it could happen that a footnote could force a page be empty when a document was opened.
With CS5 rounded frame corners which are editable were introduced.
Object Styles have been completed since CS3.
Content tools to create linked content were introduced. You need only to change the original content (text or image) and all linked content will be updated as any other link. The linked content can be in the same and in any other document.
Since CS5.5 it is much easier to anchor frames in a text flow with the little at the top of a frame symbol.

Using and Epson printer

I have an Epson R200 which is great - does anyone know how I can select an option (on iMac or the Epson) to print in `black` only. If not, can anyone recomend a printer that only uses `black` - I print more docs thans pics and I can`t afford to keep renewing the colour ink cartridges especially when the docs are just `text` and thus B&W.
I`ve searched absolutley everywhere for an answer to my problem.
PS: I don`t have the original Epson `printer` paperwork anymore.
Russell (Uk)

just filled all the cartridge spaces with all black ones and that way they`d never run out - possible, yes?
I don't think so, nozzles are not smart. When a color is called for it will go to the designated nozzle. If no color is called for, it will never go to that nozzle. Hence the expression, "nozzlehead". Also, the black catridge is usually larger?
I suspect the overiding factor will be that if one (or more) cartridges is `ink out` then I`ll not be able to print even if only `black` is selected as the print optionI'm not sure, but you can use the printer utility to check how low your ink level in each catridge is so you don't let them run out.

Using Hierarchy in Query Designer

Dear all
When I use hierarchy of InfoObject 0WBS_ELEMT, there is a hierarchy which has structure following:
WBS 1
WBS 1.1
WBS 1.2
In every WBS, I focus on 3 infos (start date, finish date and duration)
WBS 1.1 has startdate: 2/8/2010, finish date: 10/8/2010, duration: 7
WBS 1.2 has start date: 5/8/2010, finish date: 17/8/2010, duration: 9
As my understanding, WBS 1 is parent of WBS 1.1 and WBS 1.2, so start date of WBS 1 is 2/8/2010 and its finish date is 17/8/2010 and duration is 12 (only included working day).
In Infocube, I received correct duration of WBS 1, but in Query Desinger, duration of WBS 1 = duration of WBS1.1 + duration WBS 1.2, This is incorrect.
Please help me way config for duration of WBS correctly in Query Designer.
Thanks
DaoBX

Hi,
An Heirarchy is always an addition of the below nodes. hence. WBS 1 = WBS 1.1 + WBS 1.2. since youre looking at durations. it will add up 7+9 instead of looking at earliest start and latest end dates.
dont know if itll work but a suggestion would be to get the start date and end date for WBS 1 and then do the calculation for duration in a formula in query designer.
regards,
Dilanke

Print/Design Software on Mac

Hey I just bought a new MacBook as in yesterday. I'm also a newbie (Mac user that is). I used Microsoft Publisher A LOT on my PC, is there any compatible print/design software for a Mac (besides Adobe InDesign)? or Can I install MS Publisher using Boot Camp (if that's possible)? Thanks for any suggestions.

*"is there any compatible print/design software for a Mac (besides Adobe InDesign)"*
No...not without InDesign and PUB2ID: http://www.markzware.com/pub2id/
*"Can I install MS Publisher using Boot Camp"*
Yes
