What are Before and After Images ?

Hello Masters,
Best wishes to all.
For the past one week I've learnt many concepts from SDN, got all my doubts clarified.
On the same roll, I have one more question
What are Before and After Images ?
Where do we come across these terms ?
Could you please explain with an example ?
I always thank my replies in points
Thanks in advance...

Hai....
Before and After Images:
This Term is Used in the " Change Log "....
Change Log is one of the Table used in ODS....
That means the Changes in Running Request in ODS....
Example:
If you Enter the Request to " New Table" after activation the Request will be Deleted From the Table, You can see that in Change log......
Assign Points If It Halps....

Before and after images in ODS

Hi everyone,
Please let me know what are the before and after images when we are handling ODS.When those are coming in to the picture. I appreciate for great answers
Thanks
Ratna

Hi!
check this link for after image.
Re: regarding ODS
and before image is snapshot of the data before a change took place
after image is snapshot of the data after change.
these are used for delta update.
with regards
ashwin
 PS n: assigning poinst is the way of saying thanks here. please close the threads after you find the solution because its easier to refer to other people. if you do not close it is thought that you could not find a solution. and closing thread is assigning 10 points. if you find the solution yourself you can still close by clicking the radio button "solved myself beside the question".

Compare BEFORE and AFTER image in replicat

Do any of You experts know how to make the following code smaller?
...,p_kolonner=@STRCAT("ID='",@IF(@COLTEST(BEFORE.ID,PRESENT),BEFORE.ID,""),"'>'",@IF(@COLTEST(ID,PRESENT),ID,""),"'¤",
"OBSOLETED_ON='",@IF(@COLTEST(BEFORE.OBSOLETED_ON,PRESENT),BEFORE.OBSOLETED_ON,""),"'>'",@IF(@COLTEST(OBSOLETED_ON,PRESENT),OBSOLETED_ON,""),"'¤",
"SMRT_ID='",@IF(@COLTEST(BEFORE...The actual parameter would look like:
P_KOLONNER: ID=''>'11531'¤OBSOLETED_ON=''>''¤SMRT_ID=''>'1'¤SM_SMID=''>'2011X0074-00'¤SMT_ID=''>''...
This code is part of the params section of a sqlexec in a replicat file where I want to concatenate before and after images of a table into one parameter. I have to replace all NULLs with '' or the whole string evaluates to NULL when one of the columns are NULL. I have a procedure receiving the parameter.
How do I write this code shorter? I have to use less code to accomplish the same thing.

Hi Yosemite:
You're right, the correct term is "Key Fields", in the previous post I made a mistake when referring to it as "Key Part", I'm sorry for the confusion.
Anyway, it is not clear to me if you managed to solve the problem or if you're still struggling with your data loads, if this is the case, Could you please elaborate?
-Which is the data source you are working with?
-Did you map the ROCANCEL field both to the 0STORNO and 0RECORDMODE InfoObjects?
-Are you using Addition or Overwrite on the Update Rules/Transformation Rules to the DSO?
-Have you applied any relevant SAP Note to fix this issue?
In case you have not read the blog by Swapna Gollakota, take a look at it, you might find it useful.

How to covert before and after image details from logdump to SQL

Hi,
Through logdump,i am able to retrieve below before and after image details for an update statement.
Instead of below ascii format output, i need to know the complete sql statement before update and after update.
Is there any command to covert below output to readable SQL sentence?

From the reference guide:
*FORMATSQL*
Valid for Extract
Use the FORMATSQLparameter to output data in external SQL format, instead of the default
Oracle GoldenGate canonical format. FORMATSQLgenerates SQLstatements (INSERT, UPDATE,
DELETE) that can be applied to both SQLand Enscribe tables by utilities other than Oracle
GoldenGate Replicat.
NOTE Do not use FORMATSQL if the data will be processed by the Replicat process.
Replicat expects the default canonical format. Do not use FORMATSQLif
FORMATASCIIor FORMATXMLis being used.
A FORMATSQL statement affects all extract files or trails defined after it.
Default output
Without options, FORMATSQLtransactions are output as follows, in comma-delimited format:
● The begin-transaction indicator, B.
● The timestamp at which the transaction was committed.
● The sequence number of the transaction log in which the commit was found.
● The relative byte address (RBA) of the commit record within the transaction log.
● The SQL statements.
● The commit indicator, C.
● A newline indicator.
Every record in a transaction is contained between the begin and commit indicators. Each
combination of commit timestamp and RBA isunique. You can customize the output
format with optional arguments.

Before and after image question.

Dear all,
I have a similiar scenario below
something i got off from previous post*****
1000 10 10 (new)
1000 10 8 (changed in the next day)
then extractor will send like this.
first load means when the entry is created in the source system.
1000 10 10.
after change to 8. source will send the entry like this
1000 10 -2.
My question is, when i do a FULL LOAD into the next ODS, i keep getting only -2 as my result, not 8. How can i solve this in my update rule?

Hi again,
The delta records from an ODS always gets before and after images. For the full update, the records are always read from active table so this will only get the after image. Now suppose you are having wrong data in ODS2, you have to selectively delete the records from ODS2 and then do a full repair from ODS1. Incase of overwrite update rule, you need not do a selectively delete. So if ur data in ODS2 is wrong, delete it first and then do a full repair. You ran a full repai without deleting the already existing data and this might have created the problem.

Data Loading(Before and After Image)

I heard that a datasource which has both "Before and After Image " ,then the data can be sent directly to the infocube or from the DSO to the Infocube but where as
If a datasource supports after image then first it has to be loaded to the DSO and then to the Infocube ,
My question is how to know the image types of the datasource ?

Hi Ravi,
Check in ROOSOURCE tables in ECC. You can find the behvariaour options in DELTA field, so based on this table we can say will it support Cube/ODS.
    Delta Only Via Full Upload (ODS or InfoPackage Selection)
A    ALE Update Pointer (Master Data)
ABR    Complete Delta with Deletion Flag Via Delta Queue(Cube-Comp)
ABR1    Like Method 'ABR' But Serialization Only by Requests
ADD    Additive Extraction Via Extracto (e.g. LIS Info Structures)
ADDD    Like 'ADD' But Via Delta Queue (Cube-Compatible)
AIE    After-Images Via Extractor (FI-GL/AP/AR)
AIED    After-Images with Deletion Flag Via Extractor (FI-GL/AP/AR)
AIM    After-Images Via Delta Queue (e.g. FI-AP/AR)
AIMD    After-Images with Deletion Flag Via Delta Queue (e.g. BtB)
CUBE    InfoCube Extraction
D    Unspecific Delta Via Delta Queue (Not ODS-Compatible)
E    Unspecific Delta Via Extractor (Not ODS-Compatible)
FIL0    Delta Via File Import with After-Images
FIL1    Delta Via File Import with Delta Images
NEWD    Only New Records (Inserts) Via Delta Queue (Cube-Compatible)
NEWE    Only New Records (Inserts) Via Extractor (Cube-Compatible)
O
ODS    ODS Extraction
X    Delta Unspecified (Do Not Use!)

White spaces before and after Images

I have several images in my FM document,
They are either gif or jpg.
All set in Anchored frames, left-aligned.
I have made most of them conditional for Online help, so they
dont show up in my Online help.
My issue is I am not sure how to remove all the space that
appears before and after the images (they are not displayed because
I have set it to conditional)
I remember somewhere that the spaces for such images can be
removed.
Please let me know if there is.

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
I have removed the spaces before and after the images in
Frame.
Set the images to be conditional (only for print). If there
are any images they are in anchored frame--left aligned.
So my problem is that the space before - after and the place
where the image originally was (now not displayed as it is
conditional) have these huge white spaces displayed.
I am not sure how to map them or how to delete them.
I am familiar in FM, and Robohelp (although i have worked
with Word only and it was easy). For some reason this seems too
hard.
Hope I have gotten across to you with my question.

How do I extract a substring when I know what become before and after it

I am able to get the HTML source of a web page and I want to get certain information from it.
I am trying to extract a 1 or 2 digit number but sometimes it is not there but I know that this comes exactly before the number if it exists or not
"</td>
<td class="alt1">"
Which translates to regex as "</td>\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t<td class=\"alt1\">" Then the number appears just after the "<td class="alt1">" and I want to automatically say its 0 if its not there.
How easy is it to extract that number?

Normally I would be happy to help you, but after several years of trying to help here, I've decided not to contribute anymore because of the piss-poor way in which this site is being administered.
Others are still helping, but more may leave if things don't improve. May I recommend devshed or javaranch?

LO Cookpit: what is "Before Image" and "After Image" related to Delta ?

Someone mentions "Before Image" and "After Image" which is related to Delta method in source systems. Someone know what they mean?
Thanks

Before Image and After Image are different Record modes present.
Before Image :
Lets assume the data present in the Cube and ODS is
Doc No --Mat Type --- QTY
120 -
M01----
10
Now let assume that the data has changes and the quatity has to be changed from 10 to 8.This can be done in different way depending on if we are using a Cube or ODS.
If its a Infocube . i.e it is additive so we can send the before image and the after image together
Eg:
Doc No -
MAT type -
QTY
120--M01--
-10
120--M01--
8
If the Data Source sends both the before image and the after image, this combination can be loaded in any cube or ODS target. For ODS targets, if Overwrite setting is made, then only the after image(the last one) will make it to the Activation queue table of the ODS. If the ODS is set to Addition then both before and after image are needed to make a correct load to the target.

Before and After View

When I'm in my Develop module and I look at some of my edited photos my before and after view is not showing. Sometime I see the original for a second then it resorts to the edited. Now this is happening to some of my collection cause in some collection they are working just fine. Can some explain to me what is happing.
thanks

That's not it. I'm not sure what your talking about or we are talking about two different things. All the files in the collection are before and after are the same this is evident on some other folder in the collection.
I think I figure out the problem
Go to the History located on the left side of your canvas, above the Copy and Paste buttons. You should see Preset, Snapshot, History and Collection. They should have a + beside to expand. Go to History (this is a list of all you edits you made on the image) Go to the bottom where it says import of the file. This is the start point of your file.
Right mouse click on the import xxxx xxxx file ( or how ever you saved your file name). Highlight "Copy History Step Settings to Before."
There you go your good to go
I don't know how to do this on all the images with this problem in the folder all at once. I just do it individually.

! symbol and before and after

I am finding when I bring up images that were previously in LR2 that in the bottom right hand corner there is an (!). When I click on it it asks if I want to update my image. Then come up a before and after image. I cannot for the life of me get back to just having a single image. Thanks anyone.

Adobe has a Lightroom video titled "What's New in Lightroom 3" at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/getting-started-with-adobe-photoshop-lightroom-3/whats-new-in-li ghtroom-3/
If you watch it you will see a detailed explanation of the ! symbol at about 6:27. I went ahead and converted all of my images so they could all take advantage of the new Develop features.

Before and after

In PSE 9 how can I see before and after
images in full edit mode?

I don't know how familiar you are with PS. So please apologize if my proposal may sound improper or confusing.
In PS there may be of course lots of "befores" and "afters". Therefore, I would recommend you to use the "History" panel enabling you to easily switch between different states of your editing procedure. Also within the History panel there should be a "Snapshot" feature (I know there is in PS - not sure if this is valid also for PSE) which makes it even easier to name and identify a "before" (or "after") state.
Some users prefer to create a duplicate of the original file first to avoid undesired changes and to be able to compare original and duplicate.
A 3rd option (which I use very often) is to just duplicate the background layer. You then simply apply your tweaks to the resulting "background copy" layer and can switch this layer "on" and "off" (just by clicking on the eye symbol) within the layer panel.
I hope that may be helpful. Please excuse if I misunderstood and you know all these features already.

My camera is producing blurry photos before and after ios5. What to do?

My camera is producing blurry photos before and after ios5. What to do?

Jp0man-
There are several reasons a photo might be blurry. It might be out-of-focus, the iPad or subject might have been moving when the photo was taken, or the blur might actually be noise resulting from not having enough light.
Try taking a photo of a fixed object 3 or 4 feet away with a lot of light, with the iPad propped against something solid. If you still get a blurry image, you may have a defective iPad and should contact Apple about it. If you can demonstrate the problem to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a new iPad on the spot.

Before image and after image concept of ODS

Hi Gurus,
Could anybody help me in understanding the concept of " Before image and after image in ODS"
Kindly forward me if any good docs are available on my email ID: [email protected]
With regards,
wrushali

check this link for after image.
Re: regarding ODS
and before image is snapshot of the data before a change took place
after image is snapshot of the data after change.
these are used for delta update.
Hope it helps.

Detecting Before and After Field Images

Is there a way within ADDT to find the value of screen fields prior to update? I've tried using the custom trigger BEFORE and STARTER events; BEFORE is too late, the field is already changed, STARTER is too early, the field value is NULL.
I don't believe using straight PHP is an option either because I believe ADDT changes the names of the fields for occurence purposes.
I would like to produce a detail log of the fields that change. Comparing them before and after seems like the only way.

Heya,
I've really been having a hard time trying to understand exactly what it is you are trying to do. I read your post a few times and caught this line:
I would like to produce a detail log of the fields that change.
For this I would go about it by using an update record SB combined with insert into two tables SB. This would update the record of the user and also insert the info into a second table, the 'changed fields' table...
In 'changed fields' table insert logged in users id via session variable, a timestamp, and whatever fields were updated in the update record SB form and there you'd have it - your record updated and a detailed record of what fields were updated and when with complete backlog for all users. Query 'changed fields' table sorted by user id and you'd see who changed what when.
Hope that helps!
