WSUS count clients in each group

I am a newbie to scripting and struggling to figure out how to create a script that will count the number of clients in each WSUS group, regardless of update status.
Looking for any help or direction I can get.
Thanks,
Mike

Count() for each group, but only groups having 1+ element like... AND all elements like...

There are tables(and columns) like:
'Clients'(clientID)
'Houses' (houseID)
'Visits' (clientID, houseID, visit_date)
'Contracts'(contractID, houseID, clientID, rentDate_from, rentDate_end)
I have problem with writing MS SQL query of this kind:
how many visits to houses did each client, before renting one of them?
Its easy to count total number of Visits for each client, listing all visits + group by clientID and selecting count(*) for each group.
Lets say this is select_1, and select_2 is listing all Contracts for all clients.
Select_1 is not answer, because count must be performed only on groups, which:
-have at least 1 row "like" row in select_2 (it means that at least one of visited houses was rented, because it can happen that client visited few houses, but rented other, not visited house). my idea for this is comparing select_1 and select_2 with:
"where s1.clientID=s2.clientID and s1.houseID=s2.houseID"
-each group must have all rows(visits) with date of same day or earlier than contract date
maybe: "datediff(day, s1.visit_date, s2.rentDate_from) >= 0"

In future, please provide proper DML, DDL and example data, like I have for you below.
DECLARE @clients TABLE (clientID INT, name VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO @clients (clientID, name)
VALUES (1, 'Jonathan'),(2, 'Christopher'),(3, 'James'),(4, 'Jean-Luc'),(5, 'William')
DECLARE @houses TABLE (houseID INT, address VARCHAR(20))
INSERT INTO @houses (houseID, address)
VALUES (1, 'NX01'),(2, 'NCC 1701'),(3, 'NCC 1071A'),(4, 'NCC 1701D'),(5, 'NCC 1701E')
DECLARE @visits TABLE (clientID INT, houseID INT, visitDateTime DATETIME)
INSERT INTO @visits (clientID, houseID, visitDateTime)
VALUES (1,1,'2001-01-01 12:13:14'),
(2,2,'2001-01-02 12:13:14'),
(3,2,'2001-01-01 12:13:14'),(3,3,'2001-01-01 12:13:14'),
(4,4,'2001-01-01 12:13:14'),(4,5,'2001-01-01 12:13:14'),
(5,4,'2001-01-01 12:13:14'),(5,5,'2001-01-01 12:13:14')
DECLARE @contracts TABLE (contractID INT IDENTITY, houseID INT, clientID INT, rentStartDate date, rentEndDate date)
INSERT INTO @contracts (houseID, clientID, rentStartDate, rentEndDate)
VALUES (1,1,'2001-01-02',NULL),(2,2,'2001-01-02',NULL),(3,3,'2001-01-02',NULL),(4,4,'2001-01-02',NULL),(5,5,'2001-01-02',NULL)
SELECT contractID, c.houseID, c.clientID, rentStartDate, rentEndDate, cl.clientID, name, h.houseID, address, COUNT(v.clientID) AS visits
FROM @contracts c
LEFT OUTER JOIN @clients cl
ON c.clientID = cl.clientID
LEFT OUTER JOIN @houses h
ON c.houseID = h.houseID
LEFT OUTER JOIN @visits v
ON c.clientID = v.clientID
AND c.rentStartDate >= v.visitDateTime
GROUP BY contractID, c.houseID, c.clientID, rentStartDate, rentEndDate, cl.clientID, name, h.houseID, address

Getting the first row for each group

Hi Everyone,
I have a query which returns a number of rows, all of which are valid. What I need to do is to get the first row for each group and work with those records.
For example ...
client flight startairport destairport stops
A fl123 LGW BKK 2
A fl124 LHR BKK 5
B fl432 LGW XYZ 7
B fl432 MAN ABC 8
.... etc.
I would need to return one row for Client A and one row for Client B (etc.) but find that I can't use the MIN function because it would return the MIN value for each column (i.e. mix up the rows). I also can use the rownum=1 because this would only return one row rather than one row per group (i.e. per client).
I have been investigating and most postings seem to say that it needs a second query to look up the first row for each grouping. This is a solution which would not really be practical because my query is already quite complex and incorporating duplicate subqueries would just make the whole thing much to cumbersome.
So what I really new is a "MIN by group" or a "TOP by group" or a "ROWNUM=1 by group" function.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm sure that there must be a command to handle this.
Regards and any thanks,
Alan Searle

Something like this:
select *
from (
   select table1.*
   row_number() over (partition by col1, col2 order by col3, col4) rn
   from table1
where rn = 1In the "partition by" clause you place what you normally would "group by".
In the "order by" clause you define which will have row_number = 1.
Edit:
PS. The [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/functions004.htm#i81407]docs have more examples on using analytical functions ;-)

Need to count the number of groups in a Crystal Reports 2008 report

I have created a report with three levels of grouping. There are several items in each level. I want to count the number of groups. I have tried countdistinct but it counts the number of items in the lowest level of grouping and I want the number of items in the higher levels. This is a distribution data base. I have the data grouped by date, by truck on each date, and by "run" or load on each truck on each date. I want to count the total number of groups of truck and run, which is the second level of the grouping. Any ideas? I am fairly new to Crystal.

Hi Debbie,
     To count the number of groups please try the folling steps:
1) Create a formula @reset and place this formula in the page header
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:=0;
2) Create another formula @evalgroup place this in the group header where you want to count the values.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:= i+1;
3) Create another formula @display and place this in report footer.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i;
In order to display the count of details which are printing in the detail section place the eval formula in the detail section and the @display formula in the group footer.
Hope this helps!!!

Approving WSUS updates for one computer group at a time

We have a WSUS server, and four computer groups (Alpha, Beta, Production, Workstations). Our patching process has us approve all "Not Approved" patches for the Alpha group, right after they're released by Microsoft. One week later, we approve all
of the updates from the previous week, for the Beta group. One week later, we do the same for Production.
I'm writing a script (which I can't test until next week), and wonder if there's a better way to get the list of updates that are approved for Alpha. Here is the code:
$updateScope = New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope
$updateScope.ApprovedStates = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.ApprovedStates]::LatestRevisionApproved
$updateScope.FromArrivalDAte = (Get-Date).AddMonths(-1)
$wsusGroup = $wsus.GetComputerTargetGroups() | Where {$_.Name -eq "$PatchingGroup"}
$updateScope
$updateScope.getType()
$updateScope.count
$updateScope.ApprovedComputerTargetGroups.add($wsusGroup)
$wsus.GetUpdates($updateScope)
$Updates = $wsus.GetUpdates($updateScope)
I assume I can take the $Updates variable and do the following for the Beta and Production groups:
Foreach ($update in $updates) {
$update.Approve(“Install”,$PatchingGroup)
Is this going to work, and is there a better way?

Want to get sum/avg first 90% records in each grouped record set.

Hi Gurus,
Need your help or example query which help me to achieve sum/avg first 90% records in each grouped record set. Let me show you the basic query and output and proposed output.
select Pid, Sum(SalesAmt) TotalSaleAmt, Avg(SalesAmt) AvgSaleAmt, count(*) NoOfSales from ProductSales group by Pid;
PID TotalSaleAmt AvgSaleAmt NoOfSales
1 12000 100 120
2 24000 50 480
Now I need for PID =1 TotalSaleAmt of first 90% of NoOfSale i.e.120(this is basically nuber of rows found in PrdocutSales Table).
I hope I am clear enough explain my requirement... I would appreciate if we have some Analytical function available..
Gurus Pls help me asap..
Thanks In adavance...
Srichan.

Now I need for PID =1 TotalSaleAmt of first 90% of NoOfSale i.e.120(this is basically nuber of rows found in PrdocutSales Table).
first 90% should mean first 90% by some order, so in this case, which 108 rows (of the 120) do you want to take into consideration?
with
the_sample as
(select 1 the_pid,10 the_sale,1 the_order from dual union all
select 1 the_pid,20 the_sale,2 the_order from dual union all
select 1 the_pid,15 the_sale,3 the_order from dual union all
select 1 the_pid,12 the_sale,4 the_order from dual union all
select 1 the_pid,12 the_sale,5 the_order from dual union all
select 1 the_pid,13 the_sale,6 the_order from dual union all
select 1 the_pid,19 the_sale,7 the_order from dual union all

Using If condition in For EACH Group

Hi all,
I want to use if condition in for-each-group. Basically my requirement is that i want to use dynamic grouping. There will be two groups and the upper group and lower group will be selected on the basis of a report parameter.
I hope i made it clear enough. So please help me in this. Any ideas will be highly appreciable.
Thanks and regards
Naveed

You can add a If condition filed after the for-each field
for EG : <?if:ADDRESS_TYPE = 'Employee Address'?>
and then add anothet field which has <?end if?>
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to create a dynamic menu for each group of responsibility and user

Hi
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.6 and new to ADF, my application require to populate menu which would be different for different groups of user, and the user in each group would have different submenu depends on their responsibilities assigned to each one of them.
so on the top level would be menu_top_item1, menue_top_item2
|-->submenu1_1 |-->submenu2_1
|-->submenu1_2 |-->submenu2_2
also the menu would need to be on_mouse_over to show the submenu items or collapsed back.
any idea what would be the best approch? or is there any example around?
thanks a lot

You can use ADF Security to control access to menu options.

If you also use WebCenter you might use their menuing option:

Top N for each grouping?

Is there a way to show in OBIEE the Top N results for each group?
I want to show the top 10 amounts for each region in my table. If using a Top N filter, it returns the Top N overall results. I tried creating a pivot table and using 'Region' as the section separator, but got the same results. It's only returning 10 amounts total, and I want to see 10 amounts for each region.
Kevin

Yep,
Use the by statement:
TOPN("F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)", 10 by "D2 Market"."M01 Market")

[Forum FAQ] How do I export each group data to separated Excel files in Reporting Services?

Introduction
There is a scenario that a report grouped by one field for some reasons, then the users want to export each group data to separated Excel files. By default, we can directly export only one file at a time on report server. Is there a way that we can split
the report based on the group, then export each report to Excel file?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can add a parameter with the group values to filter the report based on the group, then create a data-driven subscription for the report which get File name and parameter from the group values.
In the report, create a parameter named Name which use the Name field as Available Values (supposing the group grouped on Name field).
Add a filter as below in the corresponding tablix:
Expression: [Name]
Operator: =
Value: [@Name]
Deploy the report. Then create a data-driven subscription with Windows File Share delivery extension for the report in Report Manager.
During the data-driven subscription, in the step 3, specify a query that returns the Name field with the values as the group in the report.
In the step 4 (Specify delivery extension settings for Report Server FileShare), below “File name”option, select “Get the value from the database”, then select Name field.
Below ‘Render Format’ option, select Excel as the static value.
In the step 5, we can configure parameter Name “Get the value from the database”, then select Name field.
Then specify the subscription execute only one time.

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?

You only need the ODBC driver on each computer. If you are distributing the SQL Toolkit app as an executable and do not install the whole toolkit on each computer, you'll need the SQL Toolkit support files. This is about a dozen files.

?for-each-group? dosen't work with page break - rtf template???

Hello all,
When I give a page break inside the for-each-group the group doesn't iterate any code after the page break. I can't give <?split-by-pagebreak?> in this case because I want that loop to be iterated for every department, and should show the report in one column(ms word column), and the department description in two columns.....as this has to happen for every department I can't write separate code........everything should go into one file......
Final file should look like:
<for every department>
<department_report-a table>--one column(ms word column)
<department_description-a huge text>--two columns(ms word columns)
<next department>
how can I achieve this - please help, its urgent.
Thanks for your time.
DK

bipuser thanks for your response
i will have table data also so i cannot keep in the same line.
its strange for the last 2-3 days below syntax gave me space at the beginning of each group now it is working i didnt do any change
<?for-each:G_1?>
ABCDEFDG
<?split-by-page-break:?><?end for-each?>

Distinct count inside a measure group with other measures

Hello,
I have 1 distinct count inside a measure group with other measures, sum, count etc. I know this is not recommended due to poor processing performance and query response time.
Processing performance I can live with if it means not having another measure group, which increases processing time anyway.
I have used the recommended approach before and it generated many questions about what this second measure group is for (visible via excel), even though I made the distinct count appear in the main measure group via a calculated measure.
(it would be nice if you could hide measure groups)
However my question is: is query response time only effected when the distinct count is used in the query? Or is query response time effected regardless if the distinct count is used or not??
Below is an extract from the 2005 distinct count optimizer white paper. It’s not completely clear but I assume if effects queries regardless if distinct count is used or not?
"By adding other measures to the measure group holding a distinct count measure, all of the other measures will be at the same granularity as the distinct count measure, resulting in inefficient data structures and suboptimal
queries."

You might also be interested in reading this blog post, which deals with a similar scenario, to get a feeling for some of the things that might be going on behind the scenes:

Hi,
In this scenario, you can share the document with the clients to and provide co-author privileges.
Co-authors can edit the form design, options, responses, and summary report (everything that you can do).
Note:- They do not require a paid subscription to view the responses, free subscription users can become co-authors.
Please refer to the following thread to know how to share a form with others:-How do I share a form I created with others?
