Working/Business Days with TimeStampDiff

Hi,
Background: I have an order table with a set of possible statuses. There also exists an audit trail that has a timestamp for when a certain status is set.
Customer wants to measure between two different statuses - which is no problem with a timestampdiff between the two. However, there is also a need to subtract any day classified as a non-business day that falls between the two dates. What i've created is a table that contains the dates that are non-business days. In SQL, i would do this by doing the timestampdiff, then subtracting the count of days that falls between the two dates in the timestampdiff.
The problem comes when i try to express this in the business model... I can of course do the timestampdiff, but i cannot seem to find a way to do the count of the days in the exception table. Anyone have an idea of how to solve this?

The easiest way that i can think of is to have a database function created within the database which would accept the 2 dates as parameters and would return the count. Use EVALUATE to call the database function. Use my blog entry here http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/09/10/oracle-bi-ee-10133-support-for-native-database-functions-and-aggregates/ which would give you a basic idea of calling the database functions.
Thanks,

Process chains problems : Working every day with error (red)

Hi All,
I have a next question, about process chains problem.
When I start my process chains immediate, then working without errors, but I want this process chains work every day and chainged properties, selected date/time and periodicaly (every day) but now it work with error.
How to I find problems? What are yours offers?
p.s. I see logs, but every day have diffence between errors.
Regards,
Mahir M. Quluzade

HI,
just check the time which you have given is OK or is overlappintg with some other job which is locking your table in process chain
or is colliding with attribute change run
or it fails because of lack of background processes.
There could be numerious reasons and you need to analyze the log for this.
But as you said the job is failing everday for different reasons..try to find the most common errors and try to remove it or mention that here.
Thanks

Mac App Store not working - first day with new MacBook Pro

Hi guys,
I received a new MacBook Pro 13 inch with retina display today and have been working on it this evening but I have a problem: My app store won't open.
It was fine earlier - I downloaded both textwrangler and notepad - but now, whenever I click on the icon in the dock it bounces for a few seconds before simply showing a blank screen.
I have uninstalled my downloads from the day in the hope that it would prove to be a fix but nothing has happened. I live in the UK so it's too late for me to ring the store - it's past 10pm here - but I was hoping somebody could help me out!
Also - My iTunes doesn't work - whenever I try to purchase an album or listen to any music an error message pops up reading 'an unknown error occurred.' I'm not sure if the two problems are linked...
Any help will be greatly, and gladly, appreciated!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load 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.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
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 log in 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 Steps 1 and 2.

How to calculate previous business day

Hi,
I'm stuck with an issue.
Task is to calculate 1 to 6 previous business days with reference to system date.
Conditions are : Week is 6 day. In first case its Sunday as weekend holiday and in second case its Saturday as weekend holiday.
Another condition is I have to take care of bank holidays also which are stored in a separate table in database.
How to implement this logic ?
Below I have implemented some logic but its not running correctly for some dates adjusted according to bank holidays.
In this code I'm taking Sunday as weekend off and To_Date is having the list of bank holidays for 2012.

Hello,
There are two business streams.
For one stream,Saturday is holiday and for other Sunday is holiday and
('01-JAN-2012'), ('02-JAN-2012'), ('07-APR-2012'), ('09-APR-2012'), ('07-MAY-2012'), ('04-JUN-2012'), ('05-JUN-2012'), ('27-AUG-2012'), ('25-DEC-2012'), ('26-DEC-2012') is my list of bank holidays for 2012 year.
Now if suppose we have to calculate 1 previous business day for today 22 Oct,it would be 20 Oct for one stream and 21 Oct for another stream.
Like this I have to calculate 1-6 previous business days for sysdate.
Now If there is a bank holiday coming in between e.g. suppose 20 Oct is a bank holiday and Sunday is weekend holiday,so now 1 previous business day would be 19 Oct.
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks and waiting for solution of this issue.

HP Care Package - 93 days with no laptop or working

After 6 days of trying to get in contact with my case manager and talking with at least 4-5 who at least 3 left messages for her each day? other case managers telling me she's busy and were MUCH Freindlier to me, She tells me she's gonna have to call me again later, and that it'll take up to a week+ to get this straightened out, and from our talk i am not gonna be happy with her solution at all.
ANY way at all i can get a new case manager or someone who will actually get this done quick.
My 3+ times sending my laptop to HP, you guys have broken more then fixed it, putting the wrong montior on my laptop,Webcam, Keyboard, Mic, WIFI, for things you have broken, and having it at the repair place for 3 weeks, 2-3 weeks, and 2 weeks, with one time taking 2-3 weeks before i got a call back promised i was promised and had to call you guys repeatly, to be told i'd get a call back after you did not do it, just to be told i'd get a box, because the guy on HP assistence wouldnt do it because he found me to be a moron or something and did not believe i had gotten the wrong/broken laptop parts. With the 1-day shipping usally taking 4-6 days each way, and driving over 250miles total for the trips to get to the closes fedex dropoff, because i want to get this resolved that much quicker.
YOU HAVE HAD MY LAPTOP MORE THEN ME!
I just want to get this resolved, the time has been extremely unreasonable, The customer service and my case manager has given me the run around repeatly,
Like friday, the one time i actually talked to her, She told me to call the number witht he laptop, and after calling them and getting forwarded and then getting sent around for about 1-2 hours and 4+ transfers, I get told to call my case manager who sent me on this waste of time run-around to not get called back for 5 days, leaving repeated messages, One awesome case manager there i had to get to get in contact with her in person when she got to work today.
I've had my HP care package, 3/6 months, since you guys had it the other 3 months, and it never ONCE got fixed, I've wasted days at home, On the phone, Waiting for broken laptop deliveries, and driving to fedex dropoffs,
Once i get the new laptop, You guys are gonna make me buy another if i want it to be able to get fixed, yet not even having mine or a fixed laptop this time.
I JUST WANT A WORKING LAPTOP.
Can I just get the
HP ENVY dv7-7212nr Notebook PC sent sent, its close enough to my laptop, its the only ready to ship with the same screen as mine and most everything else.
My case manager said that'd be a downgrade because it's not a custom unit, I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH FOR IT TO GET BUILT AND SENT TO ME!
If this is not resolved fairly quickly, You are without question losing a customer for the rest of his long life, and his families business as well, and my friends, and i will not go quitely either with facebook, twitter and other social media, for a very long time.
I am displeased, dissatisfied, insulted, Wasted days, wasted time, wasted gas, wasted battery charge on my phone, wasted phone minutes on my cell phone since i have pre-paid, wasted money on warrenty that'll go away, wasted money on your product for this kind of service.
I've had to buy another laptop during this time because i need a laptop to do my daily life things, If i knew it was going to be this much of a insult and failure, I'd of just bought a real laptop replacement of the same/better specs for twice instead of half of the cost of it. You have made my work take over twice as long, and more money of mine wasted.
Please contact me ASAP.

Wasted my morning typing this up for you now, Time to actually get some chores done before i need to head out.
I keep getting monica.
I got a call today but from monica, same for emails.
She told me to pick one of her two offers or i'll be waiting a week to hear the next one.
Offers me a upgraded laptop but without the one thing i needed, then downgrades everything and offers me one with a downgraded one of what i asked, and tells me i have to pick or wait a week, for another similar offer.
I'm already going to have to pay 150$+ for a new warrenty even though my previous one i only had 3 months and she wont adknowdge my question about that when i asked. My laptop was NEVER FIXED even once! Only broken more each time it was sent back to me after 3 months, Only having it the times it took you forever to adknowledge or contact me after being a week late a few times to just send me a box to send it back and spending 40$+ in gas to go to the fedex place, and Days wasted at home putting my stuff i needed to do out and about on hold if i wanted my laptop, Hours on the phone, and messing up my last 3 months for things i've needed to do with it, taking much longer on a inferior laptop that i've had to borrow.
As a company, I hope your normal practice is not to delay, not call back, lie to, waste costumers time and money, take unreasonably long times to get something done, and try to strong arm someone because they need a laptop ASAP and most wont take the time to deal with it and accept what ever crappy offer is delt them to get it back in a quickly and timely manner.
97+ days and counting now.
Most days I did not get a call back even when promised, was given the run around that took 2+ hours and 7 transfers, just to be told to call her back from monica the first time she called me.
One week just to get 2 offers back from monica about a laptop replacement, with at least 6 calls over 4 days to even get in contact with her the first time.
Is my money(gas,having to get someone to take care of stuff for me since i was having to wait to sign for a package each time to get it back broken or wrong),
time not doing things i needed to do,
EXTREME inconvenience (Having to message you guys here, on facebook and other places, finding your information, Looking up information about what i can do, how close you guys are coming to fruad or other things, and who to buy for future products instead of you and how to spread the word if this isnt fixed for 3 months now)
Trying to be strongarmed into making a choice that is in no way acceptable, offering me a much better laptop but taking that way because i needed 1 thing changed, after ALL OF THIS TROUBLE! and being told i'd have to wait a week if i dont choose today after already waiting all this time, and being impossible to contact her for 4 days befor she would call me back after sending me on a wild goose chase(Check her log for the messages i've had other case managers leave and then one nice guy at HP who was a case manager, went above and beyond his job and contacted her in person the next morning when she got in to get her to actually call me, If i can i'd like to give reps+ or whatever i can to that employee, He was the one on monday i think that left a message for her on her pc as well i believe, would be the only male that i contacted i think at that time), and being told no one else can help me whenever i call but my case manager that ignores me most of the time and talks to me like i'm no one, just someone bothering her.
What kind of service is this?
Some possible enchances to make your care package page more accurate. Even added how some reviews would be from me and my fiance.

My laptop has been broken for 3 years, had a overheating problem from the start, but my parents didn't buy the care package so I never got it replace, Haven't had a working laptop in years. Wish i had bought this .

They sent me a serial number for a windows version of PS Elements when I ordered a mac version. The serial number doesn't work, not surprisingly, but they don' t seem to care. I have tried the chat line and have waited for almost a day with no response.

I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
until I updated him from SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD and the APPLE MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
I asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?

DAVE

Hi,
What does "still won't work" mean? Flash Player 10.3.183.90 is very old. You might find that many sites require a newer version of Flash Player to view content, perhaps this is what you mean by "still won't work". Depending on your system, you may be able to upgrade to OS X 10.6 which will enable you to install the newest version of Flash Player. There's lots of information on this on the internet. Just search for "upgrade OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6" or similar.

10 days,working on 11th day, with no landline

After the technician that showed up 3 1/2 hours late last Saturday that couldn't fix the issue because the problem is in the cable box I was told the phone would be fixed in 24 to 48 hours. 48 hours passed, still no phone service. I called customer service and the rep was the worst customer service rep I have ever spoken to ever. At first she said I should not have been told it could be fixed in 24 to 48 hours because they had to send out a FIOS team (odd since FIOS isn't available here) which has a 7 day backlog. She made an appointment without asking me if that timeframe worked for me, asked me if I wanted updates via phone call or text to my cell phone, and then just hung up without saying anything like thank you for using Verizon or may I help you with anything else. She just hung up, click. I found out about the appointment by checking my account online. Then the next day I received a phone call, not a text update as I requested. And now, my phone was suppose to be fixed before 6pm yesterday. It is now after midnight Saturday, March 24th and still no phone.
This is just ridiculous. I am going to call Time Warner tomorrow and switch to their digital phone. I was keeping the hardwired landline with Verizon because I was worried about having no phone if we were to lose power but 11 days with no phone is worse. Oh yeah, I am also reporting this to the FCC.

A technician showed up at 8:30 this morning and fixed the problem, finally. This still is not going to prevent me from switching my phone service and reporting you to the FCC though.

Assign predecessors in calendar days, while working only business days

I would like to try to put my predecessors in terms of calendar days - as this is what I'm dictated. I would like it to count calendar days and schedule business days. i.e. Task #1 needs to happen 10 calendar days after the start of the project.
However, I would only like tasks to be scheduled on standard working days (M-F, 8-5). If Task #1 were to fall on a holiday or weekend it would be desirable to have the task be scheduled subsequently.
As you can see in the attached picture, from the award date, the first weekly teleconference is not 4 days later it's been scheduled for the following monday, which works. But for the kickoff meeting, 10 days should be the 11th, which is a Saturday.
Following the same logic the task should be scheduled for Monday the 13th.
Task                          | Duration        | start

How to set execution time of the step with business days in the workflow

As we know, we can set how many days later the step should be execuated after previous step. now, the problem is how to set the business days (days except sunday and sataurday) for it. any one has good solution on it.

Hi Nick,
In order to find the Next working day you need to check for the Factory calendar days for eg, if a workitem has invoked today and if the Approver doesn't release the workitme for which u want to send a mail/reminder to the approver after say next 5or 6 working days, you need to create a function module.
For eg: In case of Purchase order, if the approver doesn't release the PO .
Create a Method saying "Next working day" , in which you will be passing the import parameters : PO, Factory calendar day and the sy-datum
and export parameter : date.
Create Input date and No of days as container elements of the Task and in the method create a Function module
In case of PO, consider the Factory calendar key from the T001W by joining the table EKPO there by passing the PO.
then pass the date, No of days(say 5 days) and the Factory calendar key to the "WDKAL_DATE_ADD_FKDAYS" , you will get the next working day of the employee.
Don't forget to check the Binding properly.
Do implement this logic and check the same.

Help with expression for business days

Dear Frends,
I need help with business days expression.
The report is for call center operation. Whenever a user calls in and opens an issue it is recorded as a case. And each case is associated with create time and valueofone(which is always one).
My report contains 'case type' as the first column, and rest of the columns are age buckets(col1: 0-5 days, col2: 6-10 days). By saying agebuckets I mean number of days between create date and current date. All the cases that are less than 5 days older will go to first column and similarly all the cases that are 6-10 days old will go to the second column and so on.
In a normal case I use the following case statement: case when daysbetween(current_date, create_date) between x1 and x2 then count(valueofone) else null end
But I need to calculate only the business days as age, so I need an expression look something like this: case when (_days_between(current_date, create_date)-no of holidays) between x1 and x2 then count(valueofone) else null end
Note: My calendar table has a column 'Business Day' which assigns 'Y' to Business day and 'N' to holiday.
Any help with this expression or any suitable way.
Regards
Chilla

If you have a calendar table, wouldn't your function be just
CREATE FUNCTION business_days_between( p_day1 IN DATE, p_day2 IN DATE )
RETURN NUMBER
IS
l_cnt NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*)
    INTO l_cnt
    FROM calendar_table ct
   WHERE ct.business_day = 'Y'
     AND ct.<<date column>> >= trunc(p_day1)
     AND ct.<<date column>> < trunc(p_day2);
RETURN l_cnt;
END;Basially, count the number of rows in your calendar table that are business days between the two dates.

Data between Date Range with Business Days only

Hi All,
We have a requirement that we need to retrieve data between a data range, providing From date and To date as input.
We also have the option to Include Business Days Only through a check box which will be passed to CR 2008 through a report frame work.
Can some one help me how to display the report data within the Date Range entered and that includes only Business Days.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
Naresh.

try this formula. Lets if your date range parameter is {?date} then try this formula
@startdate:
if datepart('w',minimum({?date}))=7 then
minimum({?date})+2
else if datepart('w',minimum({?date}))=1 then
minimum({?date})+1
else
minimum({?date})
@enddate
if datepart('w',maximum({?date}))=7 then
maximum({?date})+2
else if datepart('w',maximum({?date}))=1 then
maximum({?date})+1
else
maximum({?date})
regards,
Raghavendra

I have a 2007 Macbookpro and it started up with gray checkered boxes ann across the screen I tried to re load OSX and it work 1 day and started again is this a hard drive problem or Video? Now as it starts to load a screen comes up saying to restart

I'd suspect this known issue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
if you have a late 2007 MBP.
The only testing you can do at home is to attach an external monitor and see if the defects repeat on the external. If so, get to an Apple store. If the computer's video chipset fails a test the Apple Store will perform, you get a free logic board replacement. Turnaround is usually one day to one week--not bad at all.
If the defects do NOT repeat on an external monitor, then the problem is not covered by the above Repair Extension Program
The issue is heat-triggered. Be certain that you control heat once you get it fixed. Don't use the computer in your lap without a lapboard; don't block the vents under the display hinge; don't us in clamshell mode, etc.

The phone will not recognise Apple if passwords or secret questions
