Why hourglass format

Hi experts
Why hyperion recommended the hour glass format is the best way to design an outline?.
dimension with more dense members
dimension with less dense
dimension with less sparse
diemension with more sparse
Attribute dimensions why??? I am curious to know about this,
Retrieval performance is going to be good? if so how
Calc performance is going to be good? if so how
No of block retrievals while writing the data is less? if so how
Please throw your technical stuff here... Thank You

if you look at the dbag on the section on calculation sequence, you will see that the way it processes is to go through the dimensions in a particular order. having the hourglass helps that order to be most efficient. In some cases, it is not and the hourglass on a sticck works better. It all depends. For instance, I have a cube, where if I use the hourglass on a stick, I only get one processor, if I use regular hourglass I get 4. (shich is what I have).

Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?

1-Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?
2-I made three queries Q1,Q2 & Q3 and linked them with proper field links but suppose Q3 returns no records for some Q1&Q2 records & when the report runs for delimited options it reflects only those records as output for which all the queries return records(if Q3 returns no record then the related records from queries Q1,Q2 don't reflect) while the output in desformat=html or pdf is ok..
can you please resolve my problems
( I have installed patch 5a in my report server machine)
Thanks & Regds.

What do you mean by "different"? (In our
experience, Oracle html output has too many
columns, which are not visible in the
browser but are obvious in Excel.)
We build our own html programmatically, so
that Excel matches the browser more closely.

Why was formatting removed from Export to Excel when exporting from PWA 2013?

We have recently moved from using Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2013 and one thing that we have noticed is that when we Export to Excel all the formatting has been removed and all the task grouping and alignment has been flatted.
Why did Microsoft remove this feature from the Project Server 2013?
Is there an easy way for anywhere there is an Export to Excel option on the Ribbon to add the formatting back?
What is the best solution to still retain the indents, bolding, and grouping?

Jason --
I can confirm your findings with exporting PWA pages in Project Server 2013 to Excel. As to why Microsoft removed the feature previously found in Project Server 2007, I have no idea, as I do not work for Microsoft. I do not believe there is any
way to force the Export to Excel feature to work the same in 2013 as it did in 2007. I think it will be up to the user to format the exported Excel workbook as needed. Hope this helps.

Why are format buttons on Guardian blog text box US?

On the 10 FEB, you installed Flash 10,2,152,26 and IE8 says Shockwave flash object is enabled, internet security is set to default and video plays OK. But the format buttons that add HTML code to text to post on Guardian threads no longer work. Their Help is not aware of a problem but has details. Uninstalling the latest IE8 update, KB2482017, did not help.
Norton Internet Security (2011?) is Version 18.5.0.125.
Windows (Vista HP) Update has installed several other updates, 10 FEB. Could it have set a kill bit? I am not keen to edit the Registry but a System Restore to a Windows Update Restore point is the next but one option.
Java(TM) 6 updated to 23 on 10 FEB. It set the most recent Restore point!

I took my advice and System Restored to the Windows Update Restore point but to no avail. When I had reinstalled the Windows updates and updated Flash, I noticed the Guardian pages were running in IE8's Compatibility mode. When I turned this off, their blog text formatted OK!
I can't get Guardian User Help to admit why this might have happened and it no longer does,
I regret raising this problem in this forum.

Why are FORMAT instructions not recognized?

I entered the following statement in SQLPlus:
COLUMN NAME FORMAT A10
COLUMN VALUE FORMAT A100
show parameter spfile
but the column widths are still the same as without the FORMAT instructions.
Why?
Peter

"show parameter" is an internal SQLPlus command. It's output is not bound to format settings you have set.
If you want the information to abide to your format settings then manually perform the query that show parameter is doing for you under the hoods:
select name,value
from v$parameter
where name='spfile';This should follow your format settings.

Why after formatting hard drive still get error

this is what i recieve after i have formatted the hard drive. how can i fix

The first attempt (as the picture clearly show) was a try to recover data from the disk. Right?
This try failed cause the disk's structure is corrupted as also been clearly showed on the picture.
Then you tried Disk Utility to fix the disk. This failed too, because the disk structure is corrupted. The Disk Utility screenshoot shows that.
If the the Disk Utility's "repair disk" did not fix the problem there is only one last chance.
Use Disk Utility to delete the partitioning scheme, define a new HFS+ scheme and repartition the drive.
If then are still error's in the Disk Utility, I'm afraid your drive is dead and must be replaced.

Why date format dosent work with adobe reader?

Hei,
I have a pdf form I have done with adobe pro. I have one textbox where comes date and I formating it date. It work fine with adobe pro but when I convert it to:
Copy As - Reader Extended PDF - Enable Additional Features...
it wont work... It allows to write everything to this textbox.
I need all those extention to my customer, but still I would like to that this date textbox could be written only date format (exemple 12.12.1212).
Can somebody help me and tell how can I put it work whit my extended PDF?
Thank you for your help?

Hello,
I cannot tell what are the exact differencies between the version. But I can tell you should always use (at least try to use the newest Reader). I guess you´re not the only developer on Forms, so there are possibly more people depending on the version of the client browser/ Reader. There is a solution for this problem, which does not ask anything from you, only the user.
You can easily test the Reader version through JS coding and act based on the result. I use this like this "if your Reader is lower than 8.1" then "message popup = We are sorry, your Reader is too old, this form won´t work for you. Please upgrade first.". It takes like 5 minutes (10 for lame users at max) to update his Reader.
Maybe you should this about such a test, if the user passes the test, his application won´t have any problem, if not there is no guarantee. And YOU have no problem, nobody tells you "hey sir, your form is not working, I´m not gonna pay you".

Why is Formatting Being Stripped?

About a month ago I discovered an issue in Safari 7.1 that I have not been able to resolve. Whenever I visit www.Wordpress.org, Safari strips all the formatting code and leaves the raw html. (See attached photo).
It renders fine when I open in Firefox or Google. It is only on Safari, and only with this website (Wordpress.org).
Has anyone else encountered this issue, or have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why does formatting get lost when copy and pasting slides between projects?

I'm beginning to copy and paste several slides from a project that was created in Captivate 6. I've opened the project in 7.0.1 and saved it. Next, I've copy and pasted about 20-30 slides from the old project into my new template. In the process, many slides have lost "bold" and "bullets". It's worth noting that many slides have remained correct. I also find myself having to reset slide templates and toggle off quiz buttons that I've already toggled off in old project.
This isn't part of the same problem, but related. When I copy slides from the new template I mentioned into the old one (in hopes that Advanced Actions would transfer correctly), I've noticed that none of the item names have transferred over with the copy and paste. Instead of seeing the button name I've created, it changes to "shape, text_caption, etc", the default.
I'm hoping the copy pasting between projects becomes more efficient, I'm finding myself burning unneccessary time doing more QA and microscopic investigation, although I suppose more QA isn't always a bad thing.
System is the following:
OSX 10.8.5
Captivate 7.0.1
Safari 6.0.5
Blood Type: oops, wrong forum.

When copy/pasting between different versions that has always been a problem, especially with question slides. There seem always to be changes that make such a transfer difficult. Did you try to open the CP6 project first in CP7 and see what worked? And do you use exactly the same theme (object styles, master slides, skin editor)?
Copy/paste slides, objects with advanced actions: bit same problem, works best if done between CP7 projects. The problem that each object needs to have a unique ID (name) is what causes the renaming to generic names.

Why isn't my CSS formatting showing up?

Can someone pls review:
www.emergesolutions-temp1.info/case_studies.html
and tell me why my formatting isn't applying to the header
titles as I laid
out in the CSS?
The title "Company A Case Study" is supposed to be a dark
blue and the
"Background" is supposed to be a light blue. I can see where
the tags call
the classes I created but they are not showing up in the
browser.
I'm sure I'm not doing something right with CSS but I just
don't know what.
Thanks!

Joe --
I think she's talking about the heading below that table. The
text just
above "Background". She's specified the class
".case_study_header" but it's
not being applied.

Why reports uses the .eps format when emailing a report?

Hi
If you select to send a report by email, it automatically
chooses the .eps format to send the report as an attachment.
I know it stands for "encapsulated post script" (I think...),
but is there a way to send in PDF format for example?
Till now, the user has to generate the report in PDF format
and then, manually, create an email and attach such file.
And what program opens such type of file (eps)?
Thanks
Luis Cabral

The .eps format is a postscript format type used to send directly to the printer. I really don't know why this format is good but ...
A way to send an e-mail attachment in HTML, PDF or RTF format, is setting the parameters DESTYPE and DESFORMAT, but this way enforces you to create another way to trigger the e-mail cause the button e-mail in Oracle Reports uses .eps by default.
I suggest you to create a parameter form with the format option and trigger the reports by RUN_PRODUCT built-in. If you don't need to preview the report, set the properties in the parameter form and trigger the report normally.
DESTYPE=MAIL
DESFORMAT=PDF or DESFORMAT=HTML or DESFORMAT=RTF

Formatted Search for Delivery Date field in SO not working

Hi All
Can anyone help me as to why my formatted search is not working?
I am currently using SAP B1A SP01 Patch 19.
I have created a user query as follows:
SELECT $ [$10.0.DATE] + 5
When I add this to the delivery field within the Sales Order and bring through the saved query which I set to auto refresh when the Posting Date field changes and to Display Saved Values it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks and best wishes
Gail

HI Gail,
If I am not mistaken you want to add days to the posting date...if that is so then try this out:
SELECT $[ORDR.DocDate.DATE]+5 From ORDR T0 For Browse
Set The indicator to Auto Refresh when the fields change

Date format issue in Web Analysis...

Hi,
I am creating a report by connecting to a couple of relational tables. I'm using SQL Spreadsheet and SQL Subscription objects. I'm creating a Date filter using SQL Subscription object (list box) using the data source created by the SQL Spreadsheet. My database default date format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. But in the list box it shows as 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI". When this value is selected, I get a "Literal mismatch error" since it doesn't match with the value stored in the database.
Why the format in WA is showing in this format even though it is fetchting it from my database in which the format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. Is this related to WA date format settings? I cannot find anywhere in WA studio where I can set date formats. Is this something to be set in the server or webanalysis.properties file?
PS: I tried to work around this by storing the date value as character in the database but then I am not able to sort them ascending or descending order.I also tried creating the web analysis relational database connection which creates a virtual cube. But even there when I build the report using Data Source Navigator, it is showing date in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI'.

Hi,
Let me provide you the details of the report.
A concurrent program has been created with executable as XDODTEXE (XML publisher report).
In the data definition, we have embed one query which fetches transaction date and due date from some tables based on some conditions.
Now, we have to show these date columns in report output which will be in EXCEL format.
We want these date outputs to be printed in dd/mm/yyyy format. That is the reason we had given-
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE (SUBSTR(transaction_date,1,10), 'DD/MON/RRRR'),'DD/MM/RRRR') in the SQL query.
Problem in output is- In date columns, data after 12th is fine i.e. in format dd/mm/yyyy, it is printing properly.
But before 12th, it is printing in format mm/dd/yyyy as mentioned below-
01/10/2012--wrong format, it should be 10/01/2012
01/11/2012--wrong format, it should be 11/01/2012
01/12/2012--wrong format, it should be 12/01/2012
13/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
14/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
How can i send you the attachment, is there any way/any email id?

Setting in Datasource (Format Column)

Hi,
I am a learner in BI.
How can i Change the format External to Internal in DataSource.
I was trying to load the data from Flat File to Infocube.
while activating DataSource i got an error.
ERROR: Field NAME ( Position 2 ): no conversion exit entered
Then i see the format is External and tried changing to Internal, but it is not changing.
I tried by changing the DataSource to edit mode and reactivated. After activation i have checked the DataSource, the format din't change. Again it shows external.
I am wondering is there anything to be done while creating InfoObject itself,
why the format is set to External by itself.
The InfoObject Data type is Char.
Regards,
CM

Hi Shiging,
When using datasource concept (7.0), you go into change mode and can change the settings.
When using emulated 3.x source, you can recognise via little square in front of description, you have to set these in the transfer rules.
SS convert routine is just an indication which conversion routine is assigned to the source field.
Convert routine is the conv. rout. assigned to the infoobject. When storing data, it will convert to internalm format, when displaying, convert to external.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Olav

Formatting Issues When Printing from a PDF

I am currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows 7. I have been printing or saving documnts as PDF's without issues until today. I have created a document in Microsoft Publisher and have saved it as a PDF. When I open that document, it appears on screen just as the original file in Publisher. My issues are when I print from the PDF document. When I print from the PDF, the formating for footers is not saved. For example. I might have a blank page with a page number at the top and a footer containing my company name on the bottom of the page. When I print that page, the page number is where it is suppose to be, but the footer is moved to right under the page number at the top of the page. I have been printing PDF from Publisher for years using these same versions of Adobe and Publisher. Does anyone know why the formatting is not printing correctly?

Hello John.
