What is considered as a wild card for a query

I am calling a query from Visual Composer. But I need to run the query when the variable is not selected. I have made the Variable optional.
But whenever the "input field" is left blank, it seems like Visual composer is passing a NULL value or something. I need to pass a wild card instead of NULL.
Does anybody have any idea what would be a wild card. I have tried ' ' but it did not work.
Thanks,

Arun,
I am on BI 7.0. I tried your recommendations, but when I enter '#' it does not get any data in Bex.
For VC, %20 also does not work. Any other ideas??
Thanks,
Naseer

    Bill,
    We have over 100 AD Groups that all start with SPS so I need to search all of the groups and see what users have the Deny this user permissions to log on to Terminal Server which the flag for this is AllowLogon. If AllowLogon is equal to 0 then the user
    needs the AD Profile updated so that then can access a program in the CITRIX Environment. So if I could use a wildcard in the strGroup, I could query for several groups and not one at a time. I am sorry for not explaining that better!
    Thanks,

  • How can I find out what iTunes is billing my credit card for?

    I was getting several iTunes charges a month that I did not make and they DON'T show up on my purchase list.  I changed my password and checked no form of payment and today I checked my credit card statement and there is a charge to iTunes for $12.98!  How does that happen?

    Sandy, 
    When you say they don't show up on your "purchase list," make sure you are looking at your Purchase History (in iTunes under Store > View My Account), and not your Purchased Playlist.
    Also, if you happen to have more than one iTunes account, make sure to check the Purchase History for each.
    If it is not in your Purchase History, then something must have been bought using your credit card on someone else's account, in which case you should dispute the purchase with your credit card company.

  • Case-sensitive wild-cards in Select Query

    Hi,
    I have to make a search help for Portal like it is in standard SAP's Who's Who search help in HR-ESS.
    I have to fetch data (wildcards) from Portal & on the basis of that I need to give them the actual no. of matching data.
    In short, I'll take only one data, say 'Short Text of Organizational Unit' - T527X-ORGTX .... ( 'Organizational unit' - PA0002-ORGEH ).
    Here, in this case, I'm converting all '*' with '%' with this statement :
      ORGTX1 = ORGTX.
      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN
      ORGTX1 WITH '%' .
      SELECT ORGEH FROM T527X
               INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
               WHERE ORGTX like ORGTX1
               and        SPRSL = 'EN'.
    My problem comes, when the user enters data like HR dep and the actual data in the table is HR Department, then the select query doesn't work.
    I'm providing some other cases:
    Provided data by User           Actual Data in Syatem
    emp                                    Employee
    EMP1*                                Employee1
    hr                                        HR
    Hr                                       HR
    so many, other permutations & combinations like this.
    I've checked so many threads, but didn't get the actual answer. Some persons are saying to use translate, but I can only use translate after fetching the data. here the problem is with fetching itself & I can't judge at runtime that which letter the user will put in upper case & which in lowercase.
    Can someone please guide me, how to tackle this problem ???

    Hello Mohit,
    First of all, welcome to SDN!
    What you have done as far as the implementation of the solution is concerned is quite correct. Please understand that wildcard search in SAP is case sensitive - so if the user enters data like HR dep * and the actual data in the table is HR Department then the user will not get any results back which is fully justified i.e. that's the way it should be. If you refer back to the table T527X and try a wildcard search on field ORGTX, the result is the same if you enter what the user is entering on the Portal i.e. HR dep*.
    I think the users should be aware that this is how wildcard searches are designed to behave in SAP - this could be part of their training or you can even produce a message in your program when the select query fails.
    The other option is of course to use TRANSLATE but there could be so many scenarios / permutation combinations - I don't suggest anyone goes that way to "guess" (or read) user's mind then deliver the solution because there will come a scenario when the program will be unable to "read" the user's mind as a result the select query will inevitably fail.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Sougata.

  • Graphics Card for Lightroom and also CS2 and Maybe CS3

    Hi. I am still using a PC I build about 3 years ago with a ASUS P4PE mother board. It has been very good but I am wondering if it is best to now change to a later PC or, upgrade.
    I have used 1GB Ram and just got another IGB to install, but my real concern is with the Graphics Card. At present I have a Matrox Millenium G550 which as I recall has just 32MB Ram. At the time this was considered one of the best, if not the best card for 2D Images. However, I now see 256 and 512 Ram cards as norm, but they always refer to being cards for games. I never have and never will wish to play any games on a PC. So advice needed please, what is considered the best Graphics Card for Photoshop CS2 and now Lightroom?
    Incidently my Processor is just a P4 2.66 this has served me well so far, but!! I maywell get another PC but for now I feel I just want to try the best upgrades I can.
    This is my first post here and look forward to your answers and advice.
    All the best, Ron dps.

    The high-powered graphic processors being sold today are fantastic for games but offer zero improvement for digital photo editing. What you have is more than enough. Increasing your SDRAM to 2GB will help the most.

  • How to pass wild card '%'  value from the parameter to the query

    Hello everyone,
    I have following 2 problems
    1) I was trying to do some thing like below
    select * from emp
    where ename like 'J%'
    for this i have used the following code
    select * from emp
    where ename like :P_ENAME
    and before running the query in the parameter box i entered J%. But my report returns an error which says INVALID PARAMETERS REQUESTED.
    2) I have a req of passing both comma separated and wild card for the same parameter. If we take the same example as above,
    user should be able to enter
    a) JASON, SMITH, JOHN OR b) J%
    I have used comma separated value option of the parameter for the csv values and its working fine, but i need to add the wild card feature also to the same parameter.
    Can anyone please help me with these things?????
    Thanks in advance!!
    Raghu

    Hi Raghu,
    I guess you are in older version, You have to get into latest version to use %, it should work well
    you should use where ( ename like :P_ENAME ) or ( ename in (:P_ENAME)) for both the condition to satisfy.

  • Best Video Card for non 3d/compositing work in Premiere CS4?

    Hi all, I'm looking to optimize my system where I can to speed up the editing process. I edit 1080p footage from the Canon 5D MKII (h.264 MOV files)using half-res h.264 proxies, but CS4 seems to hang a lot in the timeline view and clips just disappear and instead show green. I'm switching to half-res MPEG-2 (.m2v) proxies now and so far that problem seems to have gone away (still testing), but when timeline display quality is at "High Quality" (vs. automatic) there's still some chop during slow pans (not seen with "Automatic" or "Draft Quality").
    Anyway, I'm looking for the weakest point in my system and suspect the video card. My system is an 2.66 i7 processor, 6GB 1333 ram, 1x160GB sata II HD (OS/Apps), 3x1TB SATA II RAID 0 (paging file, data), and an $80 ATI 4650 512 MB video card running Vista 64.
    So all that said, what's the best general graphics card for editing HD video in Premiere CS4? I don't care about 3d or compositing at this stage, just basic editing of unrendered (timeline playback) HD video, maybe sometimes 1-3 HD layers, some basic color correction effects (b+w, contrast, etc), dissolves, text overlay, some clip speed manipulation.
    Many seem to recommend the Nvidia quadro cards, but I haven't found any information to suggest they help with anything other than 3D/compositing, which I don't need (and therefore don't need to pay the premium).
    There's also the Nvidia CX card, but it's main feature is touted as encoding h.264, whereas I could care less about that and ideally need decoding of h.264 in the timeline to be better. I haven't seen any great reviews on this card of heard of average user testimonials, probably because it's $2k and it mainly marketed as "zoom more fluidly in photoshop, export h.264 4x faster", which seem like minor issues vs. "better realtime playback of HD video".
    I sort of rambled, but if any informed CS4 users can help answer the question regarding the best video card for general CS4 editing use (not 3d/compositing stuff) I'd love to get more insight.

    So in Media Encoder CS4, I tried encoding one of the clips that plays back the least smooth in the Premiere timeline (a slow pan across intricate patterns on a sand dune in death valley) to the following:
    Format: P2 Movie, Preset: DVCPRO HD 720P 30
    (this was the only format in media encoder that mentions DVCPRO HD)
    I noticed when trying to customize the setting, that there is no 30 fps option, just 23.976, 29.97, and 59.94. I just went with 29.97 as that was the closest to the 30 fps of the source MK II footage. The width and height were also unajustable at 960x720 for the DVCPRO HD format.
    Playing the output in the timeline view of Premiere was comparable in smoothness to the m2v file. I looked at my resource monitor during playback looking for bottlenecks, and the CPU does seem to spike at 100% initially when playing this clip back. I reverted to the m2v version and also saw the same CPU spike. I also reverted back to the down-res'd mp4 version, same spike. Moving display quality down to draft does allow for smooth playback here.
    So I guess there's something about this clip that is CPU intensive to play back in the timeline in any of these formats. The original 1080p version plays back perfectly in both quicktime and VLC player.
    Anyway, for now I think I'm content with using the m2v proxies as a big chunk of the clips are fairly smooth, and using a reduced quality display mode for clips that don't play as smoothly is accpeptable for now. At least so far I'm not seeing the hanging/video not displaying (and instead showing a green screen) that I was with the mp4 proxies.
    If anyone has any other suggestions as to how to get smoother timeline playback for these proxies (or the original h.264 .MOV files), however, whether it be a hardware upgrade (e.g. better video card) or a different proxy codec, I'd love to hear them and give it a shot.

  • Which video card for Mac G4?

    I have Mac G4 that has been upgraded to Ram 1536ram, Cpu-PowerPC7400. I have a17" lcd studio display. I would like to know what would be a good video card for my Mac. I have been advised to get a ATI Radeon 9200, would this be a reliable card and give me the power I need with graphics?

    Be sure to go ATI, I am not very happy with the results of my Nvidia card; on that note, don't let the amount of VRAM fool you like it did me, I'd be happier with a 128mb ATI card than my 256 Nvidia card; its just not fast enough for intense graphics (mostly gaming)

  • 3rd party N card for a G5 Power Mac?

    Hi all!
    I am considering buying a wireless card for my G5 Power Mac. My base station is only a .11g, but I figure I might upgrade somewhere down the line, so I might as well get a .11n card for the Mac if I go this route. As near as I can tell, Apple does not sell .11n Airport Extreme cards for the G5s, and probably doesn't intend to, yes? So, can I plug a standard 802.11n PC card into one of my G5 slots and have it work fine? Does anyone have a recommendation of brand for same?
    Thanks in advance!

    Do you have a source.
    I just walk into a computer store, in England I use Maplin for example. I goto the networking section pick up a card that is say £6 for a PCI gigabit card. I look through the plastic sleeve inside the box and can see RTL printed on the chip. So I know its a realtek chipset.
    But here ya go when I googled for 'cheap NIC card' I found
    Gigabit Card $9
    100baseT card $3
    As it has a realtek chipset it should work on your mac with no extra drivers to install.

    Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
    As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
    You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
    You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine.

  • When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card

    When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card. I have tested with both 1.0.3 and 1.0.5 clients with RabbitMQ 3.1.5.
    I was wondering if the community was aware of this problem and if there are any workarounds? If not what is the proper channel to file a bug report. An example code snippet is below. The test fails because the TextMessageMatcher expects the destination passed in on construction (second parameter) to equal the desination on the message received (aquired from getJMSDestination).
            Mockery context = new Mockery();
            final MessageListener messageListener = context.mock(MessageListener.class);
            final Latch latch = new LatchImpl();
            final String prefix = "test" + System.currentTimeMillis();
            context.checking(new Expectations() {
                    oneOf(messageListener).onMessage(with(new TextMessageMatcher("MSG1", prefix + ".1234")));
                    will(new CustomAction("release latch") {
                        @Override
                        public Object invoke(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable {
                            latch.unlatch();
                            return null;
            final Connection connection = createConnection(null, null);
            Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
            connection.start();
            Topic wildcardTopic = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + "." + "#");
            Topic destination = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + ".1234");
            final MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(wildcardTopic);
            consumer.setMessageListener(messageListener);
            MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(null);
            producer.send(destination, session.createTextMessage("MSG1"));
            latch.await(5000);
            connection.close();
            Thread.sleep(5);
            context.assertIsSatisfied();

    Check where your MDB sends the [response] messages to.
