Using formulas in combination with dates

I'm a salesman and I track my daily sales on numbers. I have 5 columns: date, sales number, sales amount, then other stuff. I need a formula to track on the sales for a certain 2 weeks pay period for another table. I need one that sums the total $ amount of the sales and one that just counts the number of sales. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

to get the count, I had to use the countif and the concatenate command together.
If my compare date was in A1 and my information was in Table 2.. Column A was dates and B was Dollars.. modify to fit your final data, it would look like this:
=countif(Table 2::A,concatenate(">=",A1))
And the sum of the Column B in table 2 for the same condition would be:
=Sumif(Table 2::A,concatenate(">=",A1),Table 2::B)

Using mod_alias in combination with dispatcher

Hi all,
In the example dispatcher configuration there is a setting called DispatcherDeclineRoot which has a comment saying: if turned to 1, request to / are not handled by the dispatcher, use the mod_alias then for the correct mapping. Can anyone explain how to use mod_alias in combination with the dispatcher module? For example, how can I configure it to serve static content for a specific alias and go to CQ for other requests? Can someone provide an example configuration?
Many thanks,
Jan

Hi,
It still doesn't quite work the way I want it to... Indeed, when you deny it in the dispatcher config, apache is trying to serve it. However, apache is looking for the file under /var/www/html which is the docroot configured in the dispatcher config. But my files are somewhere else, and there's an Alias defined for this in my apache config file. For some reason apache is not using this alias definition, the dispatcher docroot setting seems to be taking precedence. I tried several of the dispatcher settings (like DispatcherDeclineRoot and DispatcherUseProcessedURL) but to no avail. The reason why I'm not just putting my static files under /var/www/html is because I don't want them to get mixed up with the CQ cache. I want to be able to clear everything in the cache without touching these files I want to serve statically.
Any thoughts?

Hi Ranendra,
For basic understanding of Dashboards and Models you can use standard Templates or samples which ll come along with dashboard designer(Formly Xcelsius) installation.
For path File-->Templates(or Samples).
Under Templates you ll have different categories and for each you ll find the dashboard Templates.

Using own SQLite DB in combination with Data Management

Hi,
Currently on a huge project we're we are using LCDS 3.1 in combination with a AIR 2.5 client.
I've been reading "Using Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES2 version 3.1" and I have a question. In the chapter "Building an offline-enabled application" it says on the very first line:
"You can use an offline adapter with an AIR SQLite database to perform offline fills when a desktop client is disconnected from the LiveCycle Data Services server. An offline adapter contains the SQL queries for AIR SQLite for retrieving cached items like an assembler on the server retrieves items from the data source."
However, in my experience that AIR SQLite database is not just any DB but one that Datamanagment designs and generates itself, based on the Dto the DataManagement destination is managing. The offline adapter doesn't work like an assembler at all, because the documentation says you can only override the methods pertaining to constructing the WHERE, and ORDER BY parts of the queries, not the SELECT, CREATE, FROM,... parts.
In our case, we have a database on the server, constructed according to a very specific ERD, and we have a SQLite database on the client, also constructed according to a very specific ERD. What we want to do is execute every fill, create, update, delete against the offline cache and only synchronize with the backend when we want it the synchronize (technically possible by playing with the autoMerge, autoSaveCache, autoConnect,... properties). So what part of datamanagement can we customize to use our DB instead of a generated one?
Thx in advance!

You are correct in noting that Data Management does not allow you to use your own database to store offline data. This data is exclusively managed by the LCDS library for the developer. The intent is that the local cache is a reflection of the server data, not an independent copy.
If you have an existing database in AIR, then you will have much more direct control over the querying and updating of that data by using the SQLite APIs directly.
That being said, you can in essence replicate the data stored on the server, managed by Data Management, in the offline cache. In an upcoming release (winter 2011) we will have a few features ('briefcases' and a 'changes-only' fill) that will make this story even more compelling for your use cases. But even with the 3.1 functionality, you can do something like the following:
Perform a fill() to collect the data you want to have available on the client, save this in the offline cache
Construct an Offline Adapter Actionscript class that implements the fills you want to perform on the local data
Use the DataService.localFill() API to perform all of the client application fills, turn off autoCommit.
When the client is online, call commit() to store client changes and call fill() to refresh the cached data.
This should give you some ideas on how you could go about constructing your app to leverage the offline features of Data Services.

Hash tables in combination with data references to the line type.

I'm having an issue with hash tables - in combination with reference variables.
Consider the following: (Which is part of a class) - it attempts to see if a particular id exists in a table; if not add it; if yes change it.
types: BEGIN OF TY_MEASUREMENT,
           perfid      TYPE zgz_perf_metric_id,
           rtime       TYPE zgz_perf_runtime,
           execount    TYPE zgz_perf_execount,
           last_start TYPE timestampl,
         END OF TY_MEASUREMENT.
METHOD START.
DATA: ls_measurement TYPE REF TO ty_measurement.
READ TABLE gt_measurements WITH TABLE KEY perfid = i_perfid reference into ls_measurement.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    "Didn't find it.
    create data ls_measurement.
    ls_measurement->perfid = i_perfid.
    insert ls_measurement->* into gt_measurements.
endif.
GET TIME STAMP FIELD ls_measurements-last_start.
ls_measurement->execount = ls_measurement->execount + 1.
ENDMETHOD.
I get compile errors on the insert statement - either "You cannot use explicit index operations on tables with types HASHED TABLE" or "ANY TABLE".      It is possible that.
If I don't dereference the type then I get the error LS_MEASUREMENT cannot be converted to the line type of GT_MEASUREMENTS.
I'm not looking to solve this with a combination of references and work ares - want a reference solution.
Thanks!

I think it might work when you change it for
insert ls_measurement->* into TABLE gt_measurements.
For hashed table a new line here will be inserted according to given table key.

Using servlet in combination with public_html subfolders

Hi,
I'm fairly new to servlet and jsp technology. Up to this point I only really used PHP for developing dynamic web content. But since I have finally been working more with Java I want to start using Java for my web needs as well. So I've started with servlets and am currently exploring servlet filters. Things started out to go pretty smooth but now I've run into some problems.
What I'm building now is a servlet filter that will check if the user already has a session. If the user doesn't have one the user should be redirected to a login page. Getting this logic to work hasn't been the problem. My problem started when I wanted to place .jsp files in a subfolder.
First of all, I wasn't able to create a subfolder from JDev 10.1.3 so I had to this through the file system (added a subfolder in the public_html folder).
Then when I tried to implement the filter I had a hard time getting the jsp pages and the servlets to work together. This is my setup:
I have a loginservlet that handles the login post request and sets the session if all is ok.
I have both the welcome.jsp and login.jsp in a subfolder called "app".
Then I have a servlet filter.
When trying to access the welcome.jsp the filter succesfully redirects the request to the login.jsp. But from here things go wrong. First, the login page has problems retrieving the css stylesheet. And when it submits the form it doesn't seem to process correctly since it doesn't move on to the welcome.jsp.
Can someone point in the direction of some sort of guide on how to incorporate subfolders for jsp pages in combination with servlets? And is creating subfolders in any way possible from JDeveloper?

What kind of URL do you use to access the css files etc. from your jsp? Your URL needs to follow the directory structure, so you may need e.g. "../css/style.css"
Also make sure all your files are imported into jdev, since files that aren't won't be copied into the server instance.

Using oracle in combination with the mean-stack

Hi all,
I have been exploring the mean stack and saw the oracle-nodejs-passing by.
I am wondering what the best way is to replace/combine the mongodb with an oracle db (11g).
At this moment I have tried using mongoose for schema's and an json to XML parser to retrieve an xml-representation of the object I want to save.
To do some dml in the db I created some procedures which uses the xmltype in combination with xquery to update/insert.
Although it is working I am wondering this is the way to go. What are your experiences?
Regards,
Romano

The way to go is to use node-oracledb with Oracle 12.1.0.2 JSON datatype support: http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADXDB/json.htm
However, since you are still on 11g, using stored procedures to encapsulate logic seems like a good start.
You'll lose some performance using any ORM: do you really need one?

Use Formule on FORM with REPORT - result stored at table

Hi all,
What is the best solution for?
I have region with FORM WITH REPORT on the same PAGE.
Values stored at table INFO with column ID, MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN, SUM1, SUM2
ITEMS on the form:
P1_ID (hidden)
P1_MYDATE (date picker)
P1_TIME_START_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_START_MIN (select list)
P1_TIME_END_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_END_MIN (select list)
P1_SUM1 (hidden)
P1_SUM2 (hidden)
After user fill in MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN then I need proces for calculation SUM1 en SUM2. Result stored (one record) at table INFO.
Report shows all columns. User had possibility to update the record
Formule:
Select
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_START_HOUR||':'||TIME_START_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
(interval '00 00:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '08:00'
END) SUM1,
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')

(interval '00 04:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '04:00'
END) SUM2
FROM INFO
where id=:ID
What is the best way for the calculation: computation or processes or etc? The calculation after or before user push button(New:create button of Update:Apply Changes)?
How to fill the answer (SUM1 and SUM2) at table INFO?
Thanks Walter

How do I use CFTHREAD in combination with CFFILE Upload

I've been reading how CFTHREAD is supposed to release the
client so that long-lasting operations like a CFFILE upload can
continue to do their business while the client does something else.
How does this work exactly? I can't find any concrete
references. For example, I have a regular file upload form. A user
uploads a large file, say 100Mb, and I want to use CFTHREAD (or
something) to handle the upload process, which I know may take
hours depending on the connection, and immediately return the page
for the client saying "Your file is being processed. Please check
back later."
I tried wrapping some CFFILE code with CFTHREAD, but when I
ran it the page just sat there working while the file was being
uploaded, so I did not witness any change whatsoever in how its
being handled. What am I missing?
<cfthread action="run" name="uploadVideo">
<cffile
action="upload"
destination = "/var/www/video1/assetsIN"
nameconflict="overwrite"
filefield="video" />
</cfthread>
Thanks for any help.
UPDATE: I asked Ben Forta this in an email yesterday and here
was his response:
What you are doing is correct. The actual file processing
(getting the uploaded file) will not happen in a separate thread.
Were you expecting a separate thread for the upload itself? CF
can’t do that for you s CF does not have the file until it is
uploaded. Actually, CF is not even called until the form is
submitted (which includes the file being uploaded). It sounds like
you want the browser to do an upload in the background. This may be
doable using JavaScript and Ajax type controls. Or maybe using
browser tabs or something. -Ben

With file uploads the time consumption is between the client
PC and the web
server, not the web server and the CF server (which are
usually on the same
machine). All <cffile action="upload"> does is copy the
uploaded file from
the web server's temp upload dir to [wherever you tell it to
go]: it's a
local process, and should be fairly quick; certainly compared
to the
process of getting it to the web server in the first place.
Even if the data transmission was between the client PC and
the CF server,
you can't expect <cfthread> to somehow increase the
bandwitdh and speed up
the file upload between the two machines.
<cfthread> could come into its own if you had some file
processing to
perform on the file *after* it's uploaded: unzipping it,
doing some image
manipulation, parsing a CSV file into a DB, that sort of
thing. Not for
the initial upload.

Using JConsole in combination with SNMP

I have created a simple agent (using version 5 JDK) to handle an MBean. Within this agent I have created two adapters; an HTML and SNMP adapter. The HTML adapter is working fine via the browser (i can execute the operations on the MBean).
Question is; Can I use JConsole to connect to the SNMP adapter?; if not how then?
Code:
public void addSnmpAdapter(int port)
               throws Exception {
          // Register and start the SNMP adapter
          SnmpAdaptorServer snmpAdapter = new SnmpAdaptorServer();
          ObjectName snmpAdapterName = new ObjectName(
                    "MBeanAgent:name=snmpadapter,type=SNMP,port=" + port);
          snmpAdapter.setPort(port);
          mbs.registerMBean(snmpAdapter, snmpAdapterName);
          snmpAdapter.start();
          System.out.println("SnmpAdapter on port " + port);
     }Start command:
java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.snmp.acl=false -Dcom.sun.management.snmp.port=162 MBeanAgent

Hi Willem,
No you cannot use JConsole to "connect to the SNMP adapter".
JConsole is a JMX Console, not an SNMP console.
What are you trying to do with that SNMP Adaptor anyway?
If you use Java DMK to start an SNMP adapter, and do nothing more,
the adaptor will show you nothing. It is empty. You still need to
generate, implement, and add at least one SNMP MIB to the adaptor.
For more information on this, see the Java DMK documentation.
http://java.sun.com/products/jdmk/jdmk_docs.html
Java SE 5.0 has a built-in SNMP agent that can be started using System
properties on the Java command line. This agent implements a single MIB,
the JVM-MANAGEMENT-MIB, that exposes the JVM Management and Monitoring
data through SNMP.
See here for more info on the JVM SNMP Agent:
What is the JVM SNMP Agent?
http://blogs.sun.com/jmxetc/entry/what_is_the_jvm_snmp
See also here for a discussion of using SNMP versus JMX to monitor your JVMs.

Using VPD in combination with a user table?

I'm very new with VPD's. In fact, I don't know a thing about it yet (I know the philosophy behind it and the principle, but not the practical implementation). My question: Are VPD's always based on database-users? Our applications have a user-table now, where the access rights to applications are stored. Once a user is present in that table and has the necessary rights, he can login to the application. So we don't have an actual database-user for each "real-life" user, just an entry in a table.
Is it possible to use the system of VPD's (and maybe Oracle Label Security) with users stored in a table, instead of actual database users?

TomVD wrote:
My question: Are VPD's always based on database-users? No, they are not. You could for example put VPD policies on tables that restrict access after a certain time of the day (not caring which user attempts to access the data, using only SYSDATE and a given cut off access time).
TomVD wrote:

VPD allows you to construct a predicate as you would like based on your requirements (you are basically appending a WHERE clause in to every query based on the logic you dictate on the objects and accesses you determine necessary).
Typically if you're running through a connection pool (as it sounds like you are) you would use an application context to set a specific value (the logging in user) and then validate that against your Users table in whatever fashion tickles your fancy

Using a Heiarchical Tree with data that can be grouped

Hello Forum
I have been tasked with coming up with a selector for one of our applications that uses a tree. I have built a mock-up using the example provided at Craigs Oracle Stuff (https://sites.google.com/site/craigsoraclestuff/oracle-forms---how-to-s/forms-how-to-create-a-hierachical-tree-form) that subsuitutes our data in the SQL for his, and I have successfully added another loop as the data is located in 3 tables, but have come across a few issues. I have been searching the forums and google, but cannot find anything to solve the issues that I am having. Any help is appreciated. This is being developed in 10g. The data is structured as follows.
Category(root)
ID, Name
1, A
2, B
3, C
SubCategory (Level 2)
ID, Name, CatID
1, A, 1
2, B, 1
3, C, 1
Codes (Level 3 and beyond?)
ID SubCatID Description
1, 1, 'The, quick'
2, 1, 'The, quick, brown'
3, 1, 'The, quick, brown, fox, jumps'
4, 1, 'The, quick, brown, fox, jumps, over, the lazy, dog'
5, 2, 'Wafting, zephyrs, quickly, vexed, Jumbo'
6, 2, 'Wafting, zephyrs, quickly'
As you can see the codes table has a lot of repeating values that are delimited by ',' (commas). I can produce a tree out of the 3 tables but...
Problem:
The description in the codes table can be as many as 255 characters. The tree seems to truncate the values around 60 characters. I am not sure what the maximum data lenghts in the tree are, or if the max lengths are limited by the node or the entire tree. Although the Category and Subcategory names can be as much as 120 characters, they are more typically around 25 characters.
Could this problem be remedied buy deepeing the levels of the tree by grouping the values in the codes table on the comma delimiters? The max number of commas in the description is 9, so that would make the tree up to 11 levels deep. I know how to get the text between the commas, but am unsure how to link the data back to the parent
Ex. The tree would be
A
->A
->->The
->->->quick
->->->->brown
Thanks for any Assistance
Mike
EDIT: I found the reason that the label of the node is being limited in length. The limit is actually 50char because of this line in Craig's code in the Create_RG function:
gc_id := Add_Group_Column(rg_id, 'label', CHAR_COLUMN,50);
I changed the limit to 255 and now all of the data displays.
Although working now, I would still like to know id there is a way of grouping the data into the tree view, as this would make the tree much more readable.

Possible to use formulas in chart series data?

Hello, I need to build chart series from manual values. This is possible but Excel accepts only raw values. When I try to use a calculated value, excel rejects the series format.
=SERIES("Supply";(Sheet1!$A$97;Sheet1!$H$47);(Sheet3!$B$10;Sheet3!$B$10);4)
is accepted. I need to adjust it to something like
=SERIES("Supply";(DATEVALUE("31.12.2014");MAX(Sheet1!A:A;Sheet1!H:H));(Sheet3!$B$10/365;Sheet3!$B$10/365);4)
this however doesn't fit. Does Excel provide a format for inline evaluating without need to use auxiliary cells?

It is not possible to evaluate formulas within a Series formula. You can use Names to calculate individual values from formulas, return an array of values or use a dynamic Name to return an array of cells and use Names in Series formulas.
However for your purposes I don't think even use of Names would help; from your first example your formulas return multiple cell areas (albeit only one cell in each area) and your second example aims to return an array with each formulas calculating each
element, you'd need a Name of Names which I don't think would work.
Even if you could do it the way you want I think it would be a bad approach. Why not make use of cells, there's no shortage of them and it would make things much easier for maintenance.

I'm thinking about using an iPad mini with data plan as a cell phone replacement, using Skype for phone service.

Seems like a less expensive alternative, with fewer devices. Thoughts?

If you want to stay with your current plan, you would have to add 3 tiered data plans for the new smartphones. These would be $30/month(2 GB of data for each phone) for each of the data plans, increasing your bill by $90/month to $226/month for your total bill.
If you were to switch to the Share Everything plan, you would have an access fee of $40 for each of the lines for a total of $120. This would give you unlimited talk and text. On top of the $120, you would have to add a bucket of shared data which ALL of the phones would be able to access. For $80/month, you could get a bucket of 6 GB of data to be shared between all of the phones. So far that would bring your bill to $200/month. With taxes, it should end up being about the same cost as your old plan with the benefit of having unlimited minutes. If you find yourself using less data, you can cut your data cost by lowering the amount of shared data. For example, $70/ month for 4 GB of shared data. If you find yourself using more data, you can add more data, for example $90/month for 8 GB of shared data or $100/month for 10 GB of shared data instead of $80/month for 6 GB of shared data.
If you have any employee discounts available, these would ONLY come off the data portion of the Share Everything plan. Discounts on your current plan would not change if you currently have any.
