What is the use of the key date in filters in IP?

Hi all,
can anybody tell me what the key date on the filter in the planning modeler is good for? It seems to be always overwritten by either the key date in the query or the one set for the infocube in the planning modeler. Even if I don't set a key date for the latter two, the infocube date seems to be taken (I get the current day as query key date).
Or to put it this way: Where do I set my key date when I try to use time-dependent navigation attributes in a planning query? The infocube key date seems to take precedence, but I haven't found a way to derive my key date from the input-ready planning year variable in the query (exit or replacement path won't work).

Tilman

Hi Indu,
many thanks already for your replies.
Do I understand you correctly that the key date on the filter will only have an effect when used in conjunction with planning functions (not queries)? I was going to use one filter both.
I turns out that my problem is rather how BI evalutates the key dates in the query/infocube/filter, and while I might not have the problem with planning functions, I do have it once I try to use key dates on an input-ready query. Since my key date needs to be derived from the planning year variable on-the-fly, only an exit variable used on the query's key date seems to be able to to this (variables in the infocube's key date get evaluated before the query's variable screen is displayed) . Unfortunately, it gets overwritten by whatever is set as key date in the infocube, and the filter's key date does not seem to matter at all.
Further, this seems to be a very IP-specific problem. Not only that normal reporting does only offer one key date (query), if you "manage" to break characteristic relations of your planning cube in a way that input-readiness is no longer provided, things work JUST AS DESIRED....The query's key date takes precedence, and time-dependent navigational attributes get displayed with their correct value.
This can't be right. I do not think that the case of having to use time-dependent navigational attributes in a planning query is rare, so I might have to open a ticket...

Tilman

  • FAQ: What font is used by the London Underground (London Transport)

    This summer, while on vacation in the UK, I spent a few hours in the London Transport Museum. Surprisingly enough, in their gift shop, two items for sale attracted my attention. One was a book and the other, a collection of fonts!
    Every so often, the question comes up on this forum and others as to exactly what font is used in the London Underground. The book in question,
    Johnston's Underground Type by Justin Howes definitively answers that question and provides quite a bit of background on the subject.
    To summarize, the basis of the font used today is
    Johnston Sans, dating back to 1916. Johnston Sans also had an upper case-only bold face. These two faces were used with various modifications until 1988 when the font was modernized with the release of
    New Johnston, a family of nine typefaces based upon Johnston Sans. The family includes light, light italic, medium, medium italic, medium condensed, bold, bold italic, bold condensed, and stencil weights / styles. New Johnston Medium most closely resembles the original Johnston Sans face in terms of weight and style.
    Neither the original Johnston Sans nor the current New Johnston are licensed by London Transport for any external use.
    However, at the London Transport Museum (and I believe on-line from the P22 Type Foundry), you can purchase a license and media for P22's rendition of Johnston Sans including three faces - P22 Underground, P22 Underground Bold (uppercase only), and P22 Underground Extras (symbols associated with London Transport over the years). Included on the CDROM are both Type 1 and TrueType versions of the typefaces in both Windows and Macintosh formats. The designs were officially licensed from London Transport. The EULA (End User License Agreement) carries some
    very strict restrictions with regards to embedding in PDF or any other file type as well as commercial use of any printed output formatted with these typefaces.
    A fairly close (and less restrictively-licensed alternative) to the P22 package or for Johnston Sans and New Johnston (neither of which are available for license) is ITC Johnston, available in Type 1 and TrueType versions in both Windows and Macintosh formats. Fifteen individual typefaces are available including old style figures and small caps, italic styles, as well as light, medium, and bold weights. Alas, they are not (yet) available in OpenType format.
    In any case, further information and background is available in
    Johnston's Underground Type by Justin Howes.

    I was. I have to say as much as there is a lot of negativity towards Larry Jordan, I really respect him for not shying away from adversity and talking about the issues quite Frankly. I mean, his talk was laced with quite a lot of rhetoric ("it's not the end of the world", etc etc), but he didn't decline to answer any questions (including my own: "what were they thinking").

    These are just the things I remember off the top of my head. Sadly I didn't make any notes, in all honesty because I was expecting the whole thing to be a whitewash. Remind me of anything I've left out and I'll try to cover it.
    I'll try to transcribe the recording today as it was the only thing that's come close to an official word on the situation from Apple, though I have to say the recording is not particularly good :/

    Station Two,
    I am not in the habbit of, nor do I ever plan to be in the habbit of, photoshopping things to death for the pupose of making it "picture perfect."
    I have always been a person that loves to know how. I may never use it, I just like to know how. Take a look at my work:
    https://www.facebook.com/BenjaminRootPhotography
    I definitely know it wasn't meant to be a tutorial, and personally, I think it's sick when someone photoshops a person like that.
    Like I said before, it all just looked different to me and I wondered what they used.
    I mainly use Photoshop to correct lighting, or to put someone on a different background, or to add a little color to something, or corect some minor things that they request; but a bove all, I alway try to make it look realistic and like the person.

  • What accessories were used in the iphone video recorded in January 2014

    I am trying to learn what "extras" were used in the making of the Apple video of 24 January 2014.  Credits indicate extra accessories were used.  I would like to learn what they were.

    The Apple posted 30th Anniversary video is less than 30 days old!  So, "in the past" leads me to believe you are out of touch with reality!  
    In the Apple posted video discussion of how the video was made, there are clips of the iphones used with their accessories.  I was hoping others here would be able to recognize the accessories and share their wisdom. 
    PLEASE forgive me if I have over stepped the boundaries you are imposing on this group.  I am seeking help not reprimands!

  • Google has disable the use of the api key

    I've setup a google static map using the api key v3 in this site www.pequenonim.es.
    Problem is Firefox is giving an error message:
    " Google ha inhabilitado el uso del API de Google Maps para esta aplicación. La clave proporcionada no es una clave de API de Google válida, o no está autorizada para la versión 3 del API de JavaScript de Google Maps en este sitio. Si eres el propietario de esta aplicación, puedes consultar cómo se obtiene una clave válida aquí: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key"
    Something like Google has disabled the use of the API for this application. The key is not valid or is not authorized for version 3 of the api of javascript in this site.
    Measurements already taken:
    API v3 and API v2 enable on api code panel
    Reset firefox
    Clean cookies and cache of firefox.
    Map actually works on Chrome and IE10.

    Is it the map on the bottom of the main page? It works for me in Firefox 24 on Windows 7 from California.
    You may want to look at the code in Firefox's source viewer, starting a few lines below id="bottom2", as there are some stray <html>, <head>, and <body> tags that suggest a template or plugin isn't fully compatible with your page.

  • What is the use of the setter dependency injection in Spring?

    What is the use of the dependency setter injection ?
    In a database driven app, I retrieve results, use the javabeans set methods to save stuff in javabeans and then call get on it.
    What is the use of having something set externally from a xml already ?
    Can someone provide an example when the setter injection can be used?
    I wouldnt imaginge using it to get usernames, passwords, databaseurl because we use JNDI for that...
    Is the dependency setter meant as something additional to web.xml so you dont have to get params from web.xml?

    No, you would indicate in the XML that the Hibernate object and the TransactionFactory (I am being vague here) have a dependency. You then specify whether you want setter or constructor injection. When Spring creates the Hibernate Object, it will attempt to also create a TransactionFactory and pass that to the Hibernate Object's setter. "Auto-wiring" them together for you.

    what is the use of the no disturb funtion? It dosen't work at all!!

    That function actually works. You can test it for yourself. Go to Settings->Turn on Do Not Disturb
    then lock the phone (it only works with the phone locked). If you go to Settings->Notifications->Do Not Disturb
    you can configure some other things.
    While Do Not Disturb is ON you will not be bothered with notifications, sounds or neither the screen lights up when receiving either calls, messages or other notifications.
    Try it and see if this works for you

  • The use of restricted key figures in real time scenario

    Hi all,
    Please let me know the use of restricted key figures in real-time business scenarios....plz someone explain it with <b><u>example</u></b>...
    Also, can restricted keys be defined globally with same infoprovider...???????????
    Your response is thankfully acknowledged,
    thanks and regards,
    shalini.

    Hi,
    You can restrict the key figures of an InfoProvider for reuse by selecting one of more characteristics. The key figures that are restricted by one or more characteristic selections can be basic key figures, calculated key figures or key figures that are already restricted. Which means you can define and use them globally in reporting for a particular infoprovider.
    Example:
    You have to show the sales for different product typessay 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, for a company code.
    now you can define a RKF with company code and sales keyfigure.
    In the report, in columns, you use this RKF in new selection and restrict it with product type in 6 diff columns.
    New Selection.
    Restrict it with RKF
    Restrict it with product type 1.
    similarly for others..
    Hope this helps you....
