Variable Sequence when using multiple queries
Hi Experts,
how can I adjust the variable sequence of a workbook that uses multiple queries (with variables of which each exists in at least two included queries)?
E.g.:
DP1 with variable sequence "A, B, D"
DP_2 with variable sequence "A, C, D"
DP_3 with variable sequence "B, C"
I want "A, B, C, D" as the sequence for the workbook but i did not figure out how to adjust this.
I already tried to insert a dummy DataProvider that holds all variables in the right sequence.. No success..
Any help very appreciated!
Marco
Hi Mayank,
thanks for your answer.
I wonder how the displayed sequence of the common variables is derived from the underlying queries. Perhaps one can change the sequence of the variables by inserting the DataProviders in another sequence?!
Regards,
Marco

Webi- Issues when using multiple Queries
Hi All,
I have a requirement as follows:
A crosstab which will have Year dimension both in the vertical and horizontal header. How ever the horizontal header should have years chosen by the user.
And the vertical header should have all the years that belong to that dimension.
2013 2014 2015
Audit1 2011 N N N
Audit2 2013 Y N N
Audit3 2014 N Y N
For this I am using two queries.
Query 1 ->Audit Name , Year
Query 2 ->Year with a multiselect prompt
But the problem with this is that after exec uting the queries the Year dimension gets merged and gives me a union of all the years.
Also if I avoid merging the dimensions, it gives up the infamous #DATASYNC error.
However I want crosstab horizontal header to show up only the selectd years(that are selected using the prompt by the user).
Please help.Hi Pradnya,
Your approach is really nice towards the requirement.
I similarly created two queries containing Year and on
one of the query created a prompt on Year and one query does not have any
prompt.
Lets say I have created two queries named [Query 1] and [Query
2] and my merged dimension Year contains dimensions [Query 1].[Year] and [Query
2].[Year].
(Note: Query 2 has a prompt on Year)
Created a detail variable named [test] which has the
definition as =[Query 1].[Year] and Associated to the merged dimension [Year].
Inserted a cross table and used [test] in the vertical
header and in the horizontal header used the following formula:-
=UserResponse([Query 2)].[Year];"Enter values for
Year:")
Please try the above and let me know how it goes.

Cross tab data is getting multiplied if i use multiple queris in asingle report
HI,
i am using multiple queris for displaying data and graphs(charts).
my requirement is to display 2 charts and data in crosstab in a single report.
all the three thing (2charts and crosstab) will use diffrent values.
I am writing 3 sql queries for getting appropriate values for charts and crosstab.
Now the problem, both charts and crosstab are taking the values of all 3 queris
i.e if i added crosstab first to the report values are coming correctly. After that if i add graph cross tab values are getting changed and graph values are not getting properly.
if i add graph first then its coming correctly.
if i tried to add all 3 components then values are going cores...... ?When you say you are writing 3 sql queries what do you mean? Are you creating 3 SQL command objects in the database expert? If so this is your problem, Crystal will pull a cartesian product through (this is every possible combinatin of rows from the 3 queries).
If your 2 graphs and 1 crosstab are based on different datasets the way to approach this is to create each on a seperate report, then create a new blank report and add each of your 3 reports as subreports in the report footer.
Hope this helps,

Can we use multiple queries on one template
Can we use multiple queries on one template
Hi,
if you're using data templates for your data set, you
can put multiple queries in the XML data template.
The queries may then be linked (or not) by the "link
name" tag ...
Grtz.Following you answer here...do you know eventually how/if possible to preview a report (with XMLP Desktop) that is using data templates for the data set?
Thanks,

Why is quicktime slower when using multiple mdat atoms
Hi,
I've been trying to generate a mov file and I noticed that the more mdat atoms I put in my mov file the more the file takes time to load on QuickTime, iTunes.
Even worst, on the iPhone the file takes more than 3 minutes to load.
If there are too many mdat atoms quicktime even says that the file is invalid ( error -2004 or -2002, I don't remember exactly).
Why is quicktime/iTunes slower when using multiple mdat atoms ?
Thanks,Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back -
Perfromance problem when using MDX queries in Crystal
Dear All,
I am using Crystal reports together with an MDX query from the BI system. When I run the report in the Web then it takes 60 seconds to get results. When I use this query through MDX into a crystal report the query runs very long and in most cases ends up with the message :
Database connection error: 'No more storage space available for extending an internal table"
It looks like there is something going on with the definition of the query on the database when using the MDX drivers. Is There a way to solve this ?
I hear rumours that upgrading to EHP 1 Stack 3 solves performance problems arround MDX queries, but I cannot find prove anywhere. Without proof or an official statement I cannot advise the Customer.
Please Help,
MarcelHi Ingo,
This feature I did not use yet ;-).
The MDX looks like :
SELECT {[Measures].[4B78DNZSKX3JQCWJKSS9S421C]} ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0TERR2__Z0SALEM].MEMBERS, {[Z0TERR2__Z0SALEM].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0CUST].MEMBERS, {[Z0CUST].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([0DOC_NUMBER].MEMBERS, {[0DOC_NUMBER].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0TERR2].MEMBERS, {[Z0TERR2].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0ORDITEM__Z0CNVMAN].MEMBERS, {[Z0ORDITEM__Z0CNVMAN].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0CICL__Z0IMLG18].MEMBERS, {[Z0CICL__Z0IMLG18].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0DUMOVEN__Z0MOVDECR].MEMBERS, {[Z0DUMOVEN__Z0MOVDECR].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0BUSTRW].MEMBERS, {[Z0BUSTRW].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0BUSTSTW].MEMBERS, {[Z0BUSTSTW].[All]}), EXCEPT([Z0IBUSTRW].MEMBERS, {[Z0IBUSTRW].[All]})))))))))) DIMENSION PROPERTIES [Z0CUST].[20CITY], [Z0CUST].[2Z0CUST], [0DOC_NUMBER].[2Z0SALCRON] ON ROWS FROM [Z0SD_M04/Z0SD_M04_Q0021] SAP VARIABLES [0P_COAR] INCLUDING [0CO_AREA].[3100], [0P_COCD] INCLUDING [0COMP_CODE].[3110], [0GMFROM] INCLUDING [0FISCPER].[Y42009002], [0GMTO] INCLUDING [0FISCPER].[Y42009002], [!V000005] INCLUDING [Z0REJECFP].[Y42009002], [!V000006] INCLUDING [Z0REJECFP].[Y42009002], [ZP_CSDAT] INCLUDING [0CALDAY].[20090311]
Running the query in MDXTEST transaction with Flattening gives data in 10 minutes.
Running the query in multidimensional mode gives the same result.
How to proceed ??

Memory allocation when using multiple instances of a static array.
Hi,
I have question regarding the amount of memory allocated using multiple instances of a class that has declared a static array, e.g.:
package staticTest;
import javacard.framework.*;
public class StaticClass
static byte[] staticArray;
public StaticClass()
staticArray = new byte[100];
/* Another class */
package statictest;
import javacard.framework.*;
public class MyApplet extends javacard.framework.Applet
StaticClass staticLibA, staticLibB;
public MyApplet()
/* Here we use two instances */
staticLibA = new StaticClass();
staticLibB = new StaticClass();
public static void install(byte[] bArray, short bOffset, byte bLength)
(new MyApplet()).register(bArray, (short)(bOffset + 1), bArray[bOffset]);
public void process(APDU apdu)
byte[] buf = apdu.getBuffer();
switch(buf[ISO7816.OFFSET_INS])
}When downloading and installing this applet on a gemXpresso 211 PKis (that has a ' Get free EEPROM memory' function) the card reports that the amount of memory is increased by a approx 100 bytes every time a new staticLibX is added in the MyApplet constructor. Is this correct? If yes, can someone explain to me how to declare a static array that only allocates memory once and are being shared by the instances.
Best regards,
Jonas NHi!
I have another issue about static variable. The following is my sample code:
========================================
package com.Test01;
import javacard.framework.*;
import javacard.security.*;
import javacardx.crypto.Cipher;
public class Test01 extends Applet {
OwnerPIN Pin;
static DESKey[] keys;
protected Test01(byte[] buffer, short offset, byte length) {
keys = new DESKey[4];
length = 0;
while (length < 4) {
keys[length] = (DESKey)KeyBuilder.buildKey((byte)3, (short)0x80, false);
length = (byte)(length + 1);
public static void install(byte buffer[], short offset, byte length) {
new Test01(buffer, offset, length);
===========================================================
If there are two instances, A and B, created in the package.
My issue:
1. Are keys[0]~ keys [3] kept while B is deleted?
2. Does each instance have itsown object while "keys[length] = (DESKey)KeyBuilder.buildKey((byte)3, (short)0x80, false);"?
3. follow item 2, if A and B share the same object, is the object kept while B is deleted?
Thank you

ISE Not Identifying AD Group Attributes when using Multiple ISE Servers
So we have multiple ISE Servers with differing personas. I was having an issue with our new ISE setup not identifying AD Group Attributes when using them in Authorization rules.
We have 2- 3395 appliances running Admin and Monitoring/Troubleshooting Personas and 2- 3395 appliances running as Policy server personas. We are running v1.1.1.268 with the latest two patches.
I was unable to pull Active Directory Group Attributes in any of my Authorization rules. After Resyncing all the boxes with the Primary Administration box I was able to do this. There is no bug listings for this occurance nor do we have Smartnet to call support for other reasons. I thought this might be useful to someone who is having the same issue and is unable to figure it out with TAC
-CCAbsolutely. All units said in-sync after setting their personas.
Here is our layout:
ISE-ADM-01 Admin-Primary, Monitoring-Secondary
ISE-ADM-02 Admin-Secondary, Monitoring-Primary
ISE-PDP-01 Policy Only
ISE-PDP-02 Policy Only
I synced one at a time starting with ADM-02. After completing the other two boxes. Active Directory Attribs were pulled down when using them in the Ext Group within my Authz rules.

Keeping variable values when using an LMS
I have a program that uses variables for a branching, allowing me to mark what branch the student has completed. It works when you preview the course. When I publish to the LMS and take the course it works if I go straight through. But if I leave the course and then pick it up were I left off the variables that were set showing completion of the course no longer show the completion information. How can I maintain the variable values when the student exits the course?
Hi dmv@Morgan and welcome to the forums!
Here's what I've found to be true for my LMS:
If you set a default value for the variable in the variables panel, then the variable will be reset to that default value when the course resumes.
If you don't set a default value, then the LMS suspend data (aka resume data) will populate the variable with the previous value from the previous attempt.
Let us know how it goes,

Solve Drive self-ejects and System Hangs when using MULTIPLE external drives!
I've discovered what I think is the underlying reason for many folks reporting similar problems. I bet that I can predict the GUIDs of the drives/docks/cases you're having trouble with! I bet that if you look in Disk Utility, if you click on the drives, you'll find "Connection ID 13757101839304263"!
Oh and if you look in System Profiler and click on 'FireWire' or 'USB' you'll find the GUID 0x30E002E0454647 !
What are the odds? I shouldn't be able to predict them; theyr'e supposed to be unique, after all, but google that number and you'll see that a great many devices all use that GUID. (13757101839304263 in decimal is the same thing as 30E002E0454647 in hex.)
Mac OS seems to rely on them to be unique, and has fits when they aren't. I haven't found a total solution yet, but in the meantime, running this in Terminal can help:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleFWOHCI.k ext/
Sometimes it helps to run this first to unload before loading the kext (kernel extension):
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleFWOHCI.k ext/
Enter your password if/when prompted, of course.
In most cases, if you contact your hard drive manufacturer, they'll provide a utility that will fix the drive so that it actually has a truly unique GUID.
I'm mad at Cavalry for hiding the problem and refusing to fix it, W.R.T. the two 1TB HDs I bought from them for around $500, when that was the going price.
I figured it'd be helpful to create a user tip off the discussion in this thread: Disk Drive ejecting itself - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2151621?start=615&tstart=0 This is my first attempt to create a tip. I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but here goes.Sorry but this is just a really bad idea.
1. The airport is ancient.. your speed will be terrible.
2. Hubs filled with USB drives are never reliable.. disks refuse to spin up.. become unavailable.
No.. don't do it.
Plug USB3 hub into the mini and use multiple decent hard drives .. that is fine.. use thunderbolt hub.. use thunderbolt drives if you can afford it.. but never use USB drives on the network.
3. Time Machine is not reliable to external drive on Airport Extreme.. Apple do not support it in any Extreme except the latest one.
If you want the material available to the network buy a NAS. You can buy a cheap NAS of 8TB or so and another 8TB of USB drives which you plug into the NAS for backup.. however.. iphoto is not supposed to ever be put on network drives..
Apple explicitly states you will corrupt it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168 Although mostly about FAT32 it adds network drives.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
And I quote
It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss. If you use both iPhoto and Aperture with the same library, using a Mac OS X Extended formatted volume is recommended. For more information, see Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library.
For backup of the drives.. use Carbon Copy Cloner.. it is much better than TM as you can setup different job.. TM is really a single function.. !! -
Splitting of text fields when using multiple fonts within a text field and exporting it to XFL.
Hi All,
I have been trying out InDesign and exported files to XFL for use in Flash. If I use a single font for a text box then everything looks fine in flash, but if I use multiple fonts for the same text box its split into multiple text boxes. For making this more clear I have attached an image.
Any help to resolve this!!!Paragraph styles are tied to the paragraph, not the page.
You don't say which version you are using, but here's something you could try in CS3 or CS4. Set up a baseline grid in the preferences to match the main pages. The spacing should match the leading of the body text. Make a special paragraph style (you can base it on the body text style) that you will apply to text onthe chapter start page, and as part of that style set it to align to baseline grid. Now for the trick. Select the text frame onthe start page and define a custom baseline grid with the spacing you want. Save it as an object style, too, while you're at it. The strating text should align to the custom grid on the start page and the documetn grid on the next page.

I am using 2 firefox profiles at the same, one for working and another for reading news. I start them with "firefox -no-remote -P profilename", so there are 2 firefox processes running.
It works well, but when I click a link in an external app (like in Google Talk), the link is opened in the first firefox process I launched. I mean, if I ran the "news" firefox first, it will always open the external links.
Is it possible to change this behavior? I'd like all external windows to be opened in the "news" firefox, never in the "working". Of course I'll achieve that if I open it first, but if I first run the "news", then the "working", then I close the news for any reason, now links will always open in the "working" until I close it.

Profiles '''''period''''' are "unsupported" by Mozilla. Profiles are "there" but the developers want no part of non-developers using them or fixing anything related to Profiles that has been suggested in a Bug report, or documenting much related to Profiles.

It is up to us user's to share our experiences with Profiles with other user's. I'm a relative noob to Linux, and all my experience with running multiple Profiles and -no-remote is with Windows OS's.

How to use a single iTunes library when using multiple Windows Accounts
Has anyone had success using a common iTunes library between multiple accounts on a single computer? I've tried and have been able to point all of the "different" iTunes programs in the different profiles to the same place...however, when I add files in one profile, they are not visible in any others. I've authorized the "different" iTunes in each profile to play music with my various iTunes store accounts...but no luck.
Any thoughts? (As an aside, what happened to the days when Apple made everything simple? I mean, REALLY SIMPLE! They worked hard at that...and seem to have just given up on the things that made them GREAT! <sigh>)Drag the entire iTunes folder to a shared directory.
Make sure all users have full access privileges to this folder.
Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library*.
Now quit iTunes, log out and go the next user.
Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library*.
Do this for each user. -
Autologin to an account when using multiple users
Is there a way to have a mac running Mac OS 9 set up with multiple users autologin to one of the accounts?
Ok, since I know people will ask why do you want to do that. I have an old mac and found my old XTension home automation software. I want to make this machine a dedicated home lighting controller. (I have a new mac mini doing this in my house, but I wanted to play with the old machine for fun). Now, I have multiple users set up and one account for home automation that has the panel version of the finder and the only application visible is XTension. This all works great.
If the power goes out, I want the machine to reboot into this home automation account automatically. I also want to have the machine power cycle once a week just to keep from any memory problems etc.Hi, Mark -
I know of no way that could be set up, since nothing usable runs until an account is logged into.
I assume that you want to retain the ability to switch to a full OS whenever needed; otherwise, the solution would be to turn Multiple Users off, and set the OS up the way you want it for automation purposes.
Two possible solutions allowing the retention of the ability to have a fully-operational OS available -
• Partition the hard drive, then install OS 9 on both (it can be installed on one, then copied via drag-and-drop to get it on the other partition also). Set one up as a fully-functional OS, and the other as a limited-to-automation one. Once you set the startup disk selection to the partition with the automation version, whenever the machine is restarted it will continue to use that one. You can use Startup Disk control panel to switch booting to the other OS when needed. Note - partitioning a drive will erase its entire contents, so you would need to first back up anything you do not want to lose.
• Similar to the preceding, but, provided your machine has the capability to accept a second internal drive, add a hard drive to provide the second volume.
The advantage of the first one is that there is no additional cost. The advantage of the second is that you need not erase the original drive.
