Using INTERCEPT or other function that requires range parameters in a calculated field?

I have a dataset of the permon counter '% disk available' values per hour by server. This makes a very nice powerpivot chart. What I would like to do is filter on INTERCEPT() function. Passing the perfmon date/value range to INTERCEPT will tell me the
date that '% disk availabale' value is predicted to be zero. I can do this easily in excel for a single server manually but i would like to add this INTERCEPT calculated filed to my powerpivot table so that i can filter on it and only show servers whose disk
is predicted to run out within 30 days for example. I'm not sure if this is possible. Any help is much appreciated.

It is possible, but you will have to basically simulate the entire formula in PowerPivot. Just to give an example
Days from Start=[Date] - CALCULATE(min([Date]), ALLEXCEPT(Fact, Fact[Server]))
Xavg=CALCULATE(AVERAGE([Disk Space]), ALLEXCEPT(Fact, Fact[Server]))
Yavg=CALCULATE(AVERAGE([Days from Start]), ALLEXCEPT(Fact, Fact[Server]))
X-Xavg=[Disk Space] - [Xavg]
Y-Yavg=[Days from Start]- [Yavg]
SlopeNum=([X-Xavg] * [Y-Yavg])
SlopeDenom= [X-Xavg] * [X-Xavg]
Slope=CALCULATE(sum([SlopeNum])/ sum([SlopeDenom]), ALLEXCEPT(Fact, Fact[Server]))
Intercept=CALCULATE(min([Date]), ALLEXCEPT(Fact, Fact[Server])) + ([Yavg] - [Slope] * [Xavg])
I have broken down the steps into separate calculated columns to that it is easy to understand. Hope this helps.

the blow is the content of the review team email：
We found that your app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently. This behavior is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
We noticed your app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist but does not include features that require persistent location.
It would be appropriate to add features that require persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background or remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. If your application does not require persistent, real-time location updates, we recommend using the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service.
For more information on these options, please see the "Starting the Significant-Change Location Service" and "Monitoring Shape-Based Regions" sections in the Location Awareness Programming Guide.
If you choose to add features that use the Location Background Mode, please include the following battery use disclaimer in your Application Description:
"Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."

SOLVED: How can I use or call a function that returns %ROWTYPE?

Hi
edit: you can probably skip all this guff and go straight to the bottom...In the end this is probably just a question of how to use a function that returns a %rowtype. Thanks.
Currently reading Feuerstein's tome, 5th ed. I've downloaded and run the file genaa.sp, which is a code generator. Specifically, you feed it a table name and it generates code (package header and package body) that will create a cache of the specified table's contents.
So, I ran:
HR@XE> @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Work\SQL\OPP5.WEB.CODE\OPP5.WEB.CODE\genaa.sp"
749 /
Procedure created.
HR@XE> exec genaa('EMPLOYEES');which generated a nice bunch of code, viz:
create or replace package EMPLOYEES_cache is
    function onerow ( EMPLOYEE_ID_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE) return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
    function onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (EMAIL_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE) return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
    procedure test;
end EMPLOYEES_cache;
create or replace package body EMPLOYEES_cache is
    TYPE EMPLOYEES_aat IS TABLE OF HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
    EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa EMPLOYEES_aat;
    TYPE EMP_EMAIL_UK_aat IS TABLE OF HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE INDEX BY HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE;
    EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa EMP_EMAIL_UK_aat;
    function onerow ( EMPLOYEE_ID_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE)
        return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE is
        begin
            return EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa (EMPLOYEE_ID_in);
        end;
    function onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (EMAIL_in IN HR.EMPLOYEES.EMAIL%TYPE)
        return HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE is
        begin
            return EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa (EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa (EMAIL_in));
        end;
    procedure load_arrays is
        begin
            FOR rec IN (SELECT * FROM HR.EMPLOYEES)
            LOOP
                EMP_EMP_ID_PK_aa(rec.EMPLOYEE_ID) := rec;
                EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa(rec.EMAIL) := rec.EMPLOYEE_ID;
            end loop;
        END load_arrays;
    procedure test is
        pky_rec HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
        EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa_rec HR.EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
        begin
            for rec in (select * from HR.EMPLOYEES) loop
                pky_rec := onerow (rec.EMPLOYEE_ID);
                EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa_rec := onerow_by_EMP_EMAIL_UK (rec.EMAIL);
                if rec.EMPLOYEE_ID = EMP_EMAIL_UK_aa_rec.EMPLOYEE_ID then
                    dbms_output.put_line ('EMP_EMAIL_UK lookup OK');
                else
                    dbms_output.put_line ('EMP_EMAIL_UK lookup NOT OK');
                end if;
            end loop;
        end test;
    BEGIN
        load_arrays;
    end EMPLOYEES_cache;
/which I have run successfully:
HR@XE> @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\My Documents\Work\SQL\EMPLOYEES_CACHE.sql"
Package created.
Package body created.I am now trying to use the functionality within the package.
I have figured out that the section
    BEGIN
        load_arrays;
    end EMPLOYEES_cache;
/is the initialization section, and my understanding is that this is supposed to run when any of the package variables or functions are referenced. Is that correct?
With that in mind, I'm trying to call the onerow() function, but it's not working:
HR@XE> select onerow(100) from dual;
select onerow(100) from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "ONEROW": invalid identifier
HR@XE> select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual;
select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual
ERROR at line 1:

HR@XE> select table(employees_cache.onerow(100)) from dual;
select table(employees_cache.onerow(100)) from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00936: missing expressionHe provides the code genaa.sp, and a very brief description of what it does, but doesn't tell us how to run the generated code!
Now, I have just done some googling, and it seems that what I am trying to do isn't possible. Apparently %ROWTYPE is PL/SQL, and not understood by SQL, so you can't call onerow() from sql. Correct?
So I try wrapping the call in an exec:
HR@XE> exec select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual;
BEGIN select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 30:

PLS-00221: 'ONEROW' is not a procedure or is undefined
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignoredNo joy.
Of course, now that I'm looking at it again, it seems that the way to go is indicated by the first error:
PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement
So am I supposed to create a type of EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE in a PL/SQL procedure, and the idea of this code, is that the first call to onerow() runs the initialiation code, which populates the cache, and all subsequent calls to onerow() (whether by my session or any other) will use the cache?
I've had a stab at this, but still, no joy:
create or replace procedure testcache is
    emp employees%rowtype;
    begin
        select employees_cache.onerow(100) from dual into emp;
        dbms_output.put_line('Emp id: ' || emp.employee_id);
    end testcache;
show errors

Many thanks in advance.

Ha, figured it out

Hopefully you also figured out that the example is just that: a technical example of how to use certain Oracle functionality. Unfortunately it is also an example of what you should NOT do in an actual application.
That code isn't scaleable, uses expensive PGA memory, has no limit on the amount of memory that might be used and, contrary to your belief will result in EVERY SESSION HAVING ITS OWN CACHE of exactly the same data if the session even touches that package.
Mr. Feuerstein is an expert in SQL and PL/SQL and his books cover virtually all of the functionality available. He also does an excellent job of providing examples to illustrate how that functionality can be combined and used. But the bulk of those examples are intended solely to illustrate the 'technical' aspects of the technology. They do not necessarily reflect best practices and they often do not address performance or other issues that need to be considered when actually using those techniques in a particular application. The examples show WHAT can be done but not necessarily WHEN or even IF a given technique should be used.
It is up to the reader to learn the advantages and disadvantages of each technicalogical piece and determine when and how to use them.

That is correct. To be used by SQL you would need to create SQL types using the CREATE TYPE syntax. Currently that syntax does not support anything similar to %ROWTYPE.

>
NO! That is a common misconception. Each session has its own set of package variables. Any session that touches that package will cause the entire EMPLOYEES table to be queried and stored in a new associative array specifically for that session.
That duplicates the cache for each session using the package. So while there might be some marginal benefit for a single session to cache data like that the benefit usually disappears if multiple sessions are involved.
The main use case that I am aware of where such caching has benefit is during ETL processing of staged data when the processing of each record is too complex to be done in SQL and the records need to be BULK loaded and the data manipulated in a loop. Then using an associative array as a lookup table to quickly get a small amount of data can be effective. And if the ETL procedure is being processed in parallel (meaning different sessions) then for a small lookup array the additional memory use is tolerable.
Mitigating against that is the fact that:
1. Such frequently used data that you might store in the array is likely to be cached by Oracle in the buffer cache anyway
2. Newer versions of Oracle now have more than one cache
3. The SQL query needed to get the data from the table will use a bind variable that eliminates repeated hard parsing.
4. The cursor and the buffer caches ARE SHARED by multiple sessions globally.
So the short story is that there would rarely be a use case where ARRAYs like that would be preferred over accessing the data from the table.

Can Muse be used to create a site that requires a CMS with multiple user accounts?

Hi, I am new to Adobe Muse and I would like to understand some specific things about the software. I have been comissioned to create a gallery website which requres a cms for use with mulitple accounts for the users/ artists to display seperate profiles and submit work to. Does Muse have this functionality and if possible to answer, how would I do this? I have looked at the tutorials on Adobe for Muse but I have not seen anything related to this, only the Busines Catlalyst website management software (if indeed it is software). Are there any tutorials on this or could I please be directed to one if no direct answer can be given here as I appreciate it is quite an indepth question. Thanks..

Wait for the new version of Muse which should be published during the first quarter of this year. I guess that in the new Muse version could be basic CMS features?

EBS ISG using custom PL/SQL functions that return XMLType

Hi,
We have a custom PL/SQL package that we use for interfacing systems and some of the functions in this package ruturn an XMLType. We want to deploy the package functions as web services through the ISG, but it is not working as expected. When deployed through the ISG, the functions with XMLType return type produce a null response from the ISG (they work fine when called in SQL or PL/SQL; functions with non-XMLTypes work fine).
If we change the return type to CLOB (and use getClobVal() on the XMLType) then we get a response from the ISG, but it changes all the angle-brackets in the CLOB (which is still arbitrary XML text) to < > ...
What is the proper way to get the complex XMLType output through the ISG? Anyone have any more experience?
Thanks,

Alex,
For the predicate groups that are indexed/stored, the exact operator types (as in equality, inequality, like etc) that are indexed are specified while assigning the default index parameters. In the following example, exf$indexoper is used to specify the list of indexed operators.
BEGIN
DBMS_EXPFIL.DEFAULT_INDEX_PARAMETERS('Car4Sale',
    exf$attribute_list (
       exf$attribute (attr_name => 'HorsePower(Model, Year)',
                      attr_oper => exf$indexoper('=','<','>','>=','<='),
                      attr_indexed => 'FALSE')    --- stored predicate group
END;
/You can find more information about exf$indexoper at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/t_expfilobj.htm#ARPLS153
Could you confirm that you chose to index 'is null' and 'is not null' while assigning the default index parameters ? This information is available in OPERATOR_LIST column of the USER_EXPFIL_DEF_INDEX_PARAMS view.
Hope this helps,

I just downloaded iPhoto 11 on my Mac and used the Import Pictures function that imported the photos, but I can open them in iPhoto. What do I need to do to resolve the problem?

I just downloaded IPhoto '11 for my iMac and updated my OS X to 8.2. I used the Import to Library function in iPhoto and the photos appeared to be importaing,however, the photos do not appear when I select last import or any other option in th eiPhoto menu. What do I need to do?

I used the Import to Library function in iPhoto and the photos appeared to be importaing
What were you trying to import and from where? You weren't trying to import an existing library into a new one were you? That is the wrong way to update a library!
When upgrading iPhoto just open the old library with the new application and let iPhoto update the library.
If that's not what you did explain in detail the workflow you followed after installing the new version of iPhoto.

Just installed a new PC, Windows7 64-bit. I regularly use a site (for work) that requires Silverlight. Silverlight version up to date. Any ideas?

Creating floorplan on Metropix site, which I have been doing for years on old PC/ Windows XP Pro.
Screen locks for minute or so, then "Silverlight crashed" message appears.

Thanks, Bob! You are correct. And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE). One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind. Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers. Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

Is it wise/ok to use and external hard drive that requires Tuxera NTFS for Mac.dmg to be installed?

I had a white screen issue twice recently and freaked out. I got everything back but worried now that my imac will crash and I will lose
all my files/pictures. I purchased an external hard drive, a Toshiba Canvio 3.0 Plus with 1TB to install to backup my files. I went to
install it and it says that for Mac you must install Tuxera NTFS for Mac.dmg, which says it enables read/write support for the NTFS
partition on your Mac. Is this a good way to back of files on a Mac? If not what is better? Is there an Apple product for back up?
Please help I am clueless and worried about the dreaded white screen!

Depending on whether you need to use this as a boot drive and what model iMac you have (PPC or Intel) you will need to reformat the drive as a GUID or APS drive with Disk Utility. OSX Tips: Using Disk Utility: Format, Erase, or Reformat a Drive

I'm getting the error "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed" whenever I try and watch livestreams on Justin.tv, although any other content that requires flash works fine.

I've tried uninstalling flash and firefox separately and neither helped.

I cannot recall ever being this frustrated with my Mac and I have been faithfully using Mac for 20+ years!!
I am currently using a Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz intel Core i7 4GB RAM Mac OSX 10.7.5
Problems encountered:
Very slow browsers chrome, safari, firefox - have tried them all in hopes of finding one that works with no luck!!
Adobe Flash crash error codes all the time. I receive update request links from all three browsers asking me to update adobe flash software which I have done repeatedly numerous times with absolutely no success, just a waste of time and lots of frustration.
Spinning rainbow sprocket is a common thing on my macbook, drives me insane!!
I found this thread and followed the instructions to go into "System Preferences, Flash Player, selecting the Advanced tab, and delete all browser data and settings." I then updated my Adobe Flash in my System Preferences, not the typical browser update method.
So far, this method appears to be working - will keep my fingers crossed!!!

With two cursors on just one waveform graph, how can I acquire the X values of each cursor to use them in other functions?

I can get the x values of each function to display on the front panel with no problems, but I have not been able to acquire this information from the front panel.

You use a property node to programtically retrieve the cursor values. For each cursor, first use the property Active Cursor to select (0 for the first and 1 for the second) and then the property Cursor Position:Cursor X. See the attachment.

How to run Outlook Rule that fires a batch script that requires passing parameters.

How do I pass arguments/parameters to a batch script in an Outlook rule ? The Parameters would be located in the body of the message.
Thanks.

Hi,
If the two arguments are always next to each other, then we can simply add that single phrase to the “specific words” list.
If the two arguments are not always next to each other, then there is no way in Outlook to do this with a single rule but we can achieve this by creating 2 rules. See:
