Using Global Variables in Data Quality Address Cleanse Transforms

I am currently developing in Data Services 12.2.
I am trying to dynamically populate the List Owner information in the option tabs of the USA Regulatory Address Cleanse by using global variables. It populates the 3553 with the variable name instead of the value assigned.
According to the Technical Manual, it is possible to use global variables in Data Quality Address Cleanse transforms:
However, you can use substitution parameters in all places where global variables are supported, for example:
Query transform WHERE clauses
Mappings
SQL transform SQL statement identifiers
Flat-file options
User-defined transforms
Address cleanse transform options
Matching thresholds
Does anyone know if it is possible to use global variables in the option tab of the Address Cleanse; if so, can you describe how it is done?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

blank values using Global Address Cleanse Transform

Hi,
We are trying to cleanse Global Addresses using Global Address cleanse transform. (with USA and Global Engines). We are passing Locality, Region and Postal code as multiline items. In the output some of the records are not getting populated. For these records if we keep USA as defult country then the fields are getting populated. The problem is we cannot take USA as defult country because it has global addresses and for other countries also it is filling USA as country name. Why is it that without giving USA as default country the fields are not getting populated for some records?
Below are some of the sample addresses.
1)     10 INDUSTR. HWY MS6     LESTER     PA     19029
2)     PO BOX_22964     JACKSON     MS     39225
3)     306 EASTMAN     GREENWOOD     MS     38930
4)     3844 W NORTHSIDE DR     JACKSON     MS     39209
5)     259 W QIANJIANG RD     ZHEJIANG     CN     31440
Can you please suggest a way to fill the countries for these addresses? Any inputs on this will be appreciated.
regards,
Madhavi

Hi,
As Lance indicates, you set up your address cleanse (for US I would suggest using the URAC transform) and map in your input fields as normal. In the output, you will select to output postcode2 along with all the other standardized fields you want posted in the output.
Note: If an address is assignable using the CASS rules established by the USPS to the USPS referential data, the postcode2 will be populated. In cases where it is not assignable, the postcode2 can be empty or the input postcode2 data could be preserved based on a user's settings.
Thanks,
Paula

Global Address Cleanse Transform - (Japanese To English conversion)

Hi All,
Is there way I can provide the input to Global Address Cleanse Transaformation (Japan Engine) in uniocde (Japanese - KANA ) and get the output in english like provide input LOCALITY1 as 高島市 but get the output in english like "Takashima City".
Thanks,

Data Services XI 12.1 Technical Manuals, Designer Guide, Data Quality, Page. 555:
Caution:
The USA Regulatory Address Cleanse Transform does not accept Unicode
data. If an input record has characters outside the Latin1 code page
(character value is greater than 255), the USA Regulatory Address Cleanse
transform will not process that data. Instead, the input record is sent to the
corresponding standardized output field without any processing. No other
output fields (component, for example) will be populated for that record. If
your Unicode database has valid U.S. addresses from the Latin1 character
set, this transform processes as usual.
Best regards,
Niels

VALUE USING GLOBAL VARIABLE

Hello
I made a Global Variable XX_DATE in Transaction Form Personalization with a value =:TACC_ACC_ASSGN.GL_POSTED_DATE.
I'm planning to get the value from XX_DATE to one of the fields in Receipts thru Receipt Personalization.
But a got the following error when I validate the value in Actions
FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.XX_DATE does not exist.
The String =:GLOBAL.XX_DATE could not be evaluated because of an errorAny help on this please?
I just wanted to transfer data (GL_POSTED_DATE) from Transactions to Receipts using Global Variable.
Any other ideas?
Thanks a lot

Using Global variable in Record Group

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to pull a column name from a table and then use that value in the select statement of a record group. I have tried using global variables but it is not working. Here is the record group I would like to use.
RG_DOMAIN is based on LOV_DOMAIN
SELECT :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME, DESCRIPTION FROM
DM_T_DOMAIN_VALUES
WHERE DOMAIN_NAME := BLOCK.ATTRIBUTE;
In the Key-Listval I have a select statement in which does this :
SELECT DOMAIN_COLUMN
INTO :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME
FROM DM_T_DOMAIN_RULES WHERE DOMAIN_NAME = :BLOCK.ATTRIBUTE;
SHOW_LOV('LOV_DOMAIN');
The problem is I am not getting the value I am just getting the Domain_column name. For example for Domain_name 'CALC_TYP' the Domain_column is COLUMN_10 and I just see COLUMN_10 my LOV when I want to see the value of COLUMN_10 from the DM_T_DOMAIN_VALUES table.
I tried using Name_in and Copy but not working. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks

Francois ,
I tried this but I am getting error saying record group does not exist. Can you tell me what should I go in Populate_group... and show_lov..maybe I am doing something wrong?
Declare
LC$Req Varchar2(512) ;
Begin
LC$Req := 'SELECT ' || :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME || ' FROM ....' ;
Create_Group_From_Query( rg_group, LC$Req ) ;
Populate_group(RG_DOMAIN); ?? --- is this correct?
Show_Lov(LOV_DOMAIN) ; -- and is this correct?
End;

when i investigated WF_Metadata_files i saw there is a global called INPUT_DIR i assume I have to change the path there. I tried to find old directory in the batch job but i cant find it and even When i give value to global variable it is still pointing to old path.
Can anybody please help me.
Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
If having specified the value in the global variable it is still pointing to the old path there can be a couple of scenarios applicable
1. There is a different global varaiable being used for the file path
2. The filepath is hardcoded in the file-format or Excel file definition despite the declaration of the global variable.
Are you getting this error when running a dataflow within this workflow or in a script? It will be better to run the workflow in debug mode and look through the stages to find out where exactly in the workflow it fails.
kind regards

What are the best practices to use GLOBAL Variables

Hi,
Please guide how Global Variables can be declared and how they can be initialized.
Further please guide what are the impacts of Global Variables(if any) on the memory of CLIENT or SERVER, if they are not initialized or freed up after usage.
Thanks.
Regards.

My preference is not to use them and to use parameters or package variables. There is not real control on globals so you can end up with an applicatios that has lots of them that are only used once but persist for the user session.I second that. I don't know how often I searched for bugs caused by typos in the names of global variables. Plus the fact that they are only of datatype VARCHAR2. If you are using share_library_data you could also use Package globals in a forms library to share data between called and calling forms. Or you could use a database package...

XI 3.0: Using global variables in mapping

Hi everybody
Since it seems that during mapping you have only access to messages fields, does anybody has got idea or a workaround to use global/external variables or constants during mapping??
Example: i would like to store the mail address where i send my error mails outside each mapping program (something like using a properties file or something like that).
Any idea???

Is there a way to use Global variable in HANA

Hi Developers,
Is there anything like a Global variable in SAP HANA which can be used to pass data from one procedure to another (Visible to all the procedures in a session)?
Thanks
S.Srivatsan

Hi Sundar,
In best of my understanding, there is no context variable or global variable available under SQL SCRIPT scope . You may need to maintain the variable as a parameter in the procedure interface and pass it to the procedures where ever you need it to be available . Or,(DB table is in memory, so its just memory unit) you can create a DB table to store the variable(s) and access it anywhere .

Use global variable to transfer user parameter in some Vi

Hello,
I have troubles when I use a global variable to transfer the parameter to a first Vi (user interface) to a second vi (acquisition interface).
In the first Vi, the user paramater is wrote to my global variable.
In the second Vi, the acquisition parameter is read to my global variable.
This 2 Vis are include to a master Vi who synchronized by the error bus.
The problem :
For the first use, the user parameter is transfer to the global variable but the acquisition vi read the old parameter. In the second use, acquisition vi read the first use parameter.
After I use the IN/OUT parameter subvi and i have too this problem.
Thanks for help.

Labview uses the dataflow to chain the execution. That is, as soon as one item of data is ready is is presented to the next stage.
Global (or local) variables do not easily fit in there. A variable is always present and ready to give away it's data. It does not matter that you write to it in one vi. Another vi, that is running concurrently is not aware that the content may have changed.
Especially if you reference variables outside of loops, the value is taken just once and never updated. Be aware! If in doubt, use the tracing facilty (the light bulb) to follow the data flow.

Data Services - Address Cleanse

Hi,
What dir files do I need to have to be able to run the global address cleanse for the UK?
I have the following files in my reference_data folder
ga_region_gen.dir
ga_country.dir
I am guessing I need
ga_loc12_gen.dir,
ga_loc12_gen_nogit.dir,
ga_loc34_gen.dir
Is this correct? Currently when I run the address cleanse I am getting an INFO CODE of 1030 which is country ID not found. I have set the country to be United Kingdom as a constant in the options.
Thanks

Clark,
you either need to download one of the following additional Address Directories
- Address Directory - All-World
- Address Directory - United Kingdom
for Data Services XI 3.x from the SMP. To have access to them you need a Annual Subscription to the Directories.

"global" variables for data slices

Hello experts,
Can someone tell me how to create a global variable which can be set for all user of a planning application?
I want to use this variable to be used by one or two users, so that they can lock the planning data by setting the variable. The variable will be used in a data slice and by changing the value of the variable, they are also able to change the range of the data slice. I thought that I found the solution, but in the end I remembered that variables are user specific and therefore has to be set for each user.
I hope that one of you has a solution (not using STS) for this problem.
Kind regards,
Harald van der Meij

Hallo Harald
I see your point and i hope this can help you.
Create a Variable of type exit which get the values for data freezing.
For example: Calmonth.
then in the Function Module, derive Calmonth making the Select from a custom table. give the rights to the two user to maintain the table for lock and unlock the planning.
Based on entries on the tables, then you can have the value for Calmonth. based on it you freeze or unfreeze the data.
of course you can use any Characteristic.
for example:
you want to freezee from 01.2005 to 10.1005. pass these values to the variable making a select from the custome table (Zfreezing) where you maintain 01.2005 to 10.2005.
if you need then to reopen the planning, then cahnge the values in the tables and consequentely to the variables.
the user can maintain entries in the tables.
When you create the table assign an authorization group and then create a role with it and assing these the two users.
Regards
Mike
