Where's Data Compare?

I've been away from the Microsoft stack for a few years doing Java but I have kept up my MSDN subscription and still have all the tools.
Somewhere, while I wasn't looking, it appears that Data Dude (the Database Pro version/tools in Visual Studio, has disappeared. Now I find myself trying to do a data compare between two tables in the same database, even tried duplicating the problem
across two different databases, and I can't get a data compare to work.
I downloaded the SQL Server Data Tools - both editions: SQL Server and Visual Studio - and I find the data compare on the Visual Studio version - but not at all like the current VS2013 blogs and instructions present it. I was able to add the two connections
I need and run the compare but there are no results. The compare window says there were 0 tables or views compared.
What gives? What do I need to do to get a data compare, either in two separate databases or two tables in the same database, to work? Please Help!

Thanks, Joe. I found the menu item; it's not where it was in earlier versions where there was a Data menu. You're right about the same-DB compare. I had to do just as you said, create a new DB and copy one table there.
The other change between the early, red-gate-based, data compare in Visual Studio is that now you must have a primary key defined on both tables. My tables were throwaway tables just for purposes of this test and didn't have primary keys assigned.
I didn't get a compare until I added the primary keys.
Right, you must have a primary key so that Data Compare knows which rows to compare. If you don't have a primary key the table name will not come up in the list of tables available for comparison.

OBIEE:How to display row/columns where no data is present in pivot results?

I have a request from some team members to provide an OBIEE report of 7 teams and the number of open incidents for each team by week.
I was able to create the pivot listing the teams vertically and the age (by week#: 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks & > 4weeks) horizontally.
The dilemma I have is that of the 7 teams that have incidents tickets only 4 of them have data, thus only those 4 teams that have ticket data show up in my pivot. I would like to be able to reflect ALL 7 teams even if representing a dash or null value across the pivot for those teams that don't have data.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how would I do this? I've tried searching the internet and found out how to replace a null value with a dash in columns/rows when a cell is null. But not how to display an entire row (or column) where no data is present.

You are correct; if there are no data at all, those teams won't show in a pivot table. NULLs or dashes only work if a particular column is null. There are two ways to accomplish what you wish. The first example I thought when I wasn't aware of being able to do a LEFT OUTER JOIN in Answers using the Advanced tab. The first method works nicely, though and is simpler to execute.
Read my solution here:
Re: Section Values showing NULL in Pivot
To do the LEFT OUTER JOIN read this:

Both will get you what you want...

Where can you compare 2 photos side by side in Full Screen in Elements 11?

Where can you compare 2 photos side by side in Full Screen in Elements 11? Version 9 has this feature under Display View.

In the Organizer select two thumbnails and hit the F12 key to compare them. But I guess you mean in the Editor application. In Expert Mode it‘s possible to work with floating windows rather than fixed tabs but you first need to set your preferences. Go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General (Windows)
Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> General (Mac)
Then put a checkmark in the box against “Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode”
Click OK
You can now open your two images and use the layout button at the bottom to choose various configurations or to cascade.

Where Can I Compare iMovie, FCE, FCP?

Can anyone refer me to a resource where I can compare the attributes of iMovie, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro?
I made movie a while ago with iMovie HD mixing slides and video clips. I was very pleased with it, although it felt a bit limiting. I'm about to start a similar project, and I'm trying to decide what to do it with.
I've tried the later versions of iMovie, and quickly got rid of them, going back to HD.
I think I'd like to move up, and FCE looks right. FCP looks too expensive and way more than I need.
I searched a little here and on this forum but didn't see any side-by-sides. Any help out there?
Rich

being the iMovie-guy here at the boards (have a look there...), I'm switching to FCE for quite a while, because it IS the next step in movie making.
the learning curve IS steem, totally diff. concept, in user interface, in handling, in workflows. no '1-click-done'-app, you have to understand a few rules & concepts of movie-making and -techniqué.
I'm very much recommending any book from FC-mastermind *Tom Wolsky*, who's participating here. as a non-english-speaker, I really like his laidback tone, easy to understand, allways hands-on, no tech-blabla, ... a teacher, in best means.
I'm used to use Soundtrack.. for sure, you can accomplish similar tasks in Garageband, which is basicly the same.
LiveType offers some marvelous effects, I can use in my son's action-movies.. like this (the explosion is a LT effect!)
for easy integration into iLife/mobileme, simply use the new features of QT_X player.. in FCE, Export Movie (which is a small/fast reference.mov), open that with QTX, upload to your mm-gallery or YT or.. no stress with settings and codecs and.. simple&convenient.
FCE4 offers - aside support for modern camcorders - integration of plug-ins.. so, if you don't want to build your own effects, or got used to iMovies instant-themes.. there's a wide range of (many free!) plugins, which teach FCE new wonders..
FCE - my best investement into software ever..

Selecting records from table A where A.date = max of date from table B

Hi,
I am new to OBIEE, How can I build the following Oracle query in OBIEE....
select a.F1, a.F2, a.F3, a.date
from Table1 a
where a.date in
(select max(b.date) from Table2 b where
b.F1 = a.F1
GROUP BY by b.F1)
I tried Rank, Top, Aggregate however did not get the desired result.
Thanks, Rohit

You can create another request and use the results of that request as a Subquery in the filtering of the master request.

SQL Server Data Compare doesn't retrieve table list

I'm trying to do a data compare in Visual Studio 2013. I have chosen my source and targets and successfully tested the connection to each of them in the connections dialog.
When I choose next, there's a few seconds delay as though the compare tool is checking with the source and target and then it shows a dialog with what to compare. There is a checkbox next to Tables and next to Views. Those are the only two options
shown.
What should be in this dialog, left of Tables and Views, is an arrow to expand them and show the list of tables and views in the source database. The arrow is missing and I cannot expand any list of tables or views. There's just nothing shown
to compare.
When I click Next again, the compare appears to run but when complete it reports that zero tables or views were compared - under the circumstances this is as expected because the previous dialog did not allow me to check any tables to compare.
Why am I not getting the arrow to expand the list of tables? What's wrong with Data Compare?
Thanks,
Dale

Hi Dale,
>>In your image you show a primary key value in comparison key but my tables did not have a primary key assigned
>>Is the comparison key requirement by design?
I repro it, I get the same issue as yours, if no key, we couldn't compare the tables.
Like the document here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn266029%28v=vs.103%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833428(v=vs.100).aspx
Requirements
When you compare data in a table or view, the table or view in the source database must share several attributes with a table or view in the target database. Tables and views that do not meet the following criteria are not compared and do not appear
on the second page of the New Data Comparison wizard:
Tables must have matching column names that have compatible data types.
Names of tables, views, and owners are case-sensitive.
Tables must have the same primary key, unique index, or unique constraint.
Views must have the same unique, clustered index.
You can compare a table with a view only if they have the same name.
Each object has a key or an index that determines the other objects to which it corresponds. However, each table or view can have more than one primary key, unique index, or unique constraint. Therefore, you might want to specify which key, index,
or constraint to use.
As my understanding, it would have the specific requirements.

Jack

Where are data exported with /CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_APPL?

Hi all,
When I use "/CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_FILE I find my file in UJFS. But could you tell me where the data are exported when I use /CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_APPL ?
regards,

application file system. You need to supply the correct directory on the application server. You will then see the file in transaction AL11.

I tried powering off and on and it went away, but I can't tell if it's been broken into since everything works fine (I'm using it now) is there a test to see if it's been broken into?
Thanks for all your replies!

Where do data get stored?

Hi,
I'm newcomer to SAP BPC. We have an SAP BPC NW installed at our company. I'm trying to find out where the data typically get stored? I know certain data for BPC are stored in BW cubes. What about data from flat files? Where do the data get stored- SQL Server perhaps?
For example, if I have data in a flat file that need to be imported into BPC, where does the data actually get stored?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi,
BPC NW stores all the data (both transaction and master) in the BW platform.
If you want to see the transaction data, you can see the data in the BW cube created by the BPC application.
If you want to see the master data, you can see that as master data of the characteristic created by the BPC dimensions.
Hope this helps.

Select data where le date

Hi,
I have a select option (DTE) for date on selection screen. Now i want extract data from DB table to internal table where all dates shlod be LE from givin date in select option
my select statment is :
SELECT VBELN FKDAT KUNRG BSTNK_VF FROM VBRK INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB_VBRK
WHERE KUNRG IN CUST_NO AND FKDAT IN DTE.
i m getiing data only EQ givin date. but i need all dates wich r LE from givin date.
From Jitendra

Hi ,
An example of how this will work is as given below
Data : it_1 type table of mara.
select-options : s_matnr for mara-ersda.
data : r_matnr like line of s_matnr.
start-of-selection.
loop at s_matnr into r_matnr.
r_matnr-option = 'LE'.
modify s_matnr from r_matnr.
endloop.
select * into table it_1
from mara
where ersda in s_matnr.
data : wa like line of it_1.
loop at it_1 into wa .
write:/ wa-matnr.
endloop.
What this code will do is select all the materials from MARA where ERSDA is less than or equal to s_matnr-low.
Try this and if you have any queries please do revert back.
Regards
Arun

JSTL Date Compare Question

I am using JSTL to parse an xml feed (news articles) and need to restrict the articles I get back in the xml to todays date. On another page I am working on I have to restrict the articles to todays date - 7 days (one week). I understand how to parse and format dates with jstl, but am stuck on doing date compares like this. The date I have to restrict on in the xml feed is called <pubDate>. If anyone could help me out with using JSTL to parse and handle these date ranges that would be great. Here is a portion of the xml I am dealing with:

I had problems following your advice, hence I used a different formatter
<fmt:formatDate var="nextRunStr" value="${reminder.nextRunDateTime}" pattern="yyyyMMddHHmmss"/>
<fmt:formatDate var="nowStr" value="${now}" pattern="yyyyMMddHHmmss"/>
and then
${nextRunStr ge nowStr}"
seems to work OK.

Can not connect to host where the data base is hosted

sql.free.fr is where the data base is hosted
String host = "jdbc:mysql://sql.free.fr/
her's the code
public f()
String pilote = "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver";
String host = "jdbc:mysql://sql.free.fr/";
String login = "login";
String pw = "password";
setTitle("Programmation avanc�e Java II (NicoWatt)");
setSize(x,y);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
show();
TM = new TMFromMysql(pilote,host,login,pw,"select * from TCar");
JTable T = new JTable(TM);
JScrollPane JSP = new JScrollPane(T);
JSP.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(x,y));
getContentPane().add(JSP,BorderLayout.CENTER);
pack();
}

Basic network debugging:
1. Try to ping the server; at the command line, type "ping sql.free.fr" and see what happens.
If that fails then you have a network connectivity problem. Talk to the person who controls your network (the point where you connect to the Internet) and discuss it.
2. Try to connect to the server at the same port that MySQL is using (normally 3306 but confirm that with the people running it); at the command line, type "telnet sql.free.fr 3306" and see if you get a connection.
If that fails, then again you have a problem. Again discuss this with your network person. There are several reasons why these may fail (proxy servers, firewalls, and so on) and you will get better answers from people who know about the network then from random strangers on the Internet.
