XL Reporter - combine Dimensions (Beginner question)

Hello Everybody,
Iam a beginner at the XL Reporter so i need the help of experts like you.
I want to create a Report which shows the deliveries of yesterday. In this report also should be shown the marketing staff of the deliverie including the email-address.
At the moment it works except of the mail address.
Here my selection:
FACT FIG( SO_TaxDate = DateAdd(CurrentDate,-1,'d') ) SLP( * ) BPA( * ) Group By SLP.SlpName
How can i get the mail address which is saved in the employee dimension?
I hope you can help me
Greetings Christian

To get the email ID in the XL reporter follow the below steps:
1. Generate the report and in Excel select a cell
2. Click formula Builder from XL Reporter tool bar.
3. Click on function tab and select get more data.
4. Enter you SQL server user and password
5. In the user table type OUSR. In field table type E_Mail and in the condition column type
inner join oinv on ousr.internal_k=oinv.ownercode
Now the Excel you will be able to see the Email of the owner of that marketing document.
Regards,
Saurabh

Beginner Question

Hello all, hopefully I have posted this to the correct LiveCycle board!
I'm new to Acrobat and LiveCycle in general. I'm working out of windows LiveCycle Designer 8.x and my question is as follows....
I'm working off of the "Quote" Form Template and what I am looking for is a way to make the rows of the Table expand as needed. I will be converting this Template into a "Purchase Order" form, and there will be many occassions where I will need to increase the table rows - perhaps onto a second or even third page - due to the volume of different items I will be seeking prices on at a given time.
Long story short I would like to take this "QUOTE" form template and make it such that if needed, I can expand the table size one row at a time, pushing the content beneath (Comments, subtotal, etc) onto the next page....
Hoping I have explained my query well enough, Could anyone provide me a solution or point me in the correct direction?
Many thanks!

As a followup, so as not to clog the board with numerous threads I have another beginner question
For the sake of hypotheticals I am creating a dynamic PDF form. This pdf is a Purchase Order Form, with a table in the Body that will expand/contract as the form user needs. (EXA- Default table size is 5 items, however user is creating an order for 12 items, he/she can increase the table rows to desired capactiy.) It will be a very simple layout. All data for the form will come from manual entry, no XML data binding going on.
My new question is as follows:    Is there a way I can have this user's Adobe reader or Adobe acrobat software remember previous data entries, so that if 4 weeks after ordering widget X he/she needs to place another order for widget X, the software will autofill the table as he/she types into the table cell?
This would be similar to how Excel will start to autofill if it recognizes a previously entered value from some other cell in the worksheet (workbook?)
EXA-
[NAME]   [MODEL]   [QTY]   [PRICE]
Widget           A            433        $30.00
Would it be possible for the software to notice that I'm typing the word "widget" somewhere after typing "wid" ???
Many thanks for any and all followups, I'm a teenager trying to help out in my father's small business. They are in the darkages here and I'm doing my best to self teach.
Thanks.

Reporting Attribute dimension on Planning Database in HFR

Can you report attribute dimension values in Hyperion Financial Reports when connection to the Planning database connection? I am not seeing Planning Details as an option in HFR as only Planning appears. Is there something that I'm missing? I would like to report Smart List alphanumeric values on HFR but also be able to pull in the attribute dims, yet that doesn't seem possible.

Hi Alex
That sounds like a bug, I have used attribute dimensions in reporting lots of times in earlier versions and I'm sure that some of those used planning rather than essbase connections. I've not read the documentation around the subject so can't be sure but it sounds pretty fundamental so I'd be surprised if not a bug.
Worth doing a bit of digging on Oracle support or in the readme files or even raising an SR if you have that option.
Regards
Stuart

Beginner question: Can I apply one formula to all cells in a column?

Hi,
I'm new to spreadsheets, so apologies for asking what is probably a very simple question.
I want to apply a formula that divides the values in one column (W) by values in another (AX) for a table containing 3000 rows, and outputs the result for each row into the appropriate cell in the new column I've created.
Numbers 09 'help' hasn't helped to this point.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Besides Numbers '09 Help there are two other useful resources available in the Help menu: the Numbers '09 User Guide and iWork Formulas and Functions Help.
For "Beginner questions," my first choice would be the User Guide. For the specific question you asked, a quick scan of the chapter on "Using Formulas and Functions" (pp 83-96) will provide some useful information. Start in the neighborhood of page 93.

Beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown workflow

Hello
I have a beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown.
If I edit some 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV Files and put them into multi-track view to do crossfades, how should I do the mixdown?
Audition shows me in multi-track view, that it is doing 32-Bit mixing.
Can I just mixdown to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo without any dithering (as the files are 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo to begin with), or will I lose quality that way?
I will be performing a normalization to 96% to the mixdown and then split to tracks in Audition, as in the end I want to to have an audio CD.
I guess I could mixdown to 32Bit, then normalize and in the end save back to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV (with dithering, I suppose?), but I want to avoid any unnecessary converting steps.
Greetings

Any time you do any processing on a 16bit file in 16 bit only it will degrade the audio slightly due to rounding of the calculations. Working in 32 bit floating point (Audition's default) takes account of all bits generated due to processing.
So it is always best to work in 32 bit, even if your originals were 16, all the way through until the last stage of saving the files for CD burning. Any losses due to conversion will be insignificant against those due to working 16 bit.

Beginner question - how to efficiently check if a photo is part of the selection

Dear all,
Sorry for this beginner question, however I don't know how to solve it and I'm sure that there is a quick and easy answer to this:
My target is to get all the "heads of stack" (photos with Position 1 in stacks) of the selection ("photos" below).
for i, photo in ipairs( photos ) do
local photoName = photo:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
   if photo:getRawMetadata( 'isInStackInFolder' ) then
   --Photo is in a stack
        local photoHeadOfStack = photo:getRawMetadata('topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto')
        local stackPos = photo:getRawMetadata( 'stackPositionInFolder' ) -- get the position in the stack
        local photoHeadName = photoHeadOfStack:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
        app:logVerbose("Photo nb ^1, name ^2 is in a stack with the position ^3", i, photoName, stackPos)
        if stackPos == 1 then
        -- photo is master of the stack
             stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photo
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is top of the stack ^2", photoName, #stackTop)
             -- check if couple if correct
        elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack already selected", photoName)
        else
             stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photoHeadOfStack
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack ^2 - ^3 ", photoName, #stackTop, photoHeadName)
        end
end
end
In the if structure in the middle checking the Position in the stack, if the Position is not 1, I would like to check if the photo heading the stack ('photoHeadOfStack') is part of 'photos'. I tried 'elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then' and 'elseif photos[photoHeadOfStack] then' but it doesn't work ->this elseif is never true even if 'photoHeadOfStack' is part of 'photos'.
Is there anyway to have this check done without checking "manually" photos ?(via for example a for Loop)
I'm sure that Lua proposes this, but I don't know how...
I thank you for your Support!

    --[[ This code creates "stackTops", an array of LrPhotos that are the
    tops of all the stacks containing photos in the array
    "photos". ]]
stackTopSet = {}
for _, photo in ipairs (photos) do
    local stackTop = photo:getRawMetadata ("topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto")
    if stackTop ~= nil then stackTopSet [stackTop] = true end
    end
stackTops = {}
for photo, _ in pairs (stackTopSet) do table.insert (stackTops, photo) end

Beginner Question: SA520 Admin access through WAN port

Dear all,
I've a beginner question regarding my brand new SA520: How can I configure the box so that I'm able to access the admin GUI not only through the LAN ports but also from the WAN ports?
I tried already to allow inbound traffic to the firewall's internal IP address (not sure if done right, so) and granted the admin user access profile from WAN and LAN: I can access the box from the LAN but not from the WAN. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
PS: Yupp, I know that it's not a good idea to expose a FW admin GUI to the WAN - but this is only a lab environment

Go to Administration -> Users.
click on the 'Edit User Policies' 'Login' button. It's there you can enable WAN access.

Beginner question - using pre for flexibility in text?

Hi,
Apologies for the beginner question, but I am struggling to work out whether it is more sensible to use <pre> in all my texts, as it seems more flexible.
It seems that when I use <p> - paragraph - I can't use multiple space bars to align certain bits of text, but more disruptively I have gaps between text when I press Enter (I guess this defines the paragraph, but isn't always wanted).
Well, basically, <pre> seems more flexible, but it behaves strangely sometimes. What do other people use?
Many thanks!

Hi Ireshe, just a beginner like you. Have never heard of <pre> tags, use <p> tags. If you hit SHIFT enter after a sentence this puts in a <br> tag or line break which basically leaves a blank line between text.
If you add     &nsbp;    or lots of them between words this gives you an extra space between letters. How all your paragraphs sit on the page is defined by CSS. E.g.
p {
     margin:0;
     padding: 5px 0 0 10px;}
This would place all text within <p> tags on your page, with a 5px gap at the top, no space to the right or bottom and 10px space to the left. Hope this helps, good luck!

Beginner question: Configure Tomcat for JAAS?

Hi,
This is a beginner question :-(. I'm trying to get JAAS to work on my Tomcat (6.0.12) installation. I used code from a Javaworld article (http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2002/jw-0913-jaas.html)
Of course I had to configure my Tomcat to work together with JAAS. The document I used is: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/printer/realm-howto.html
According to the Tomcat doc I have to do the following steps before I can use JAAS to authenticate a user:
1. Develop your code. Place the compiled classes in Tomcat's classpath
2. Setup a login.config file for Java, and tell Tomcat where to find it (set JAVA_OPTS)
3. Configure the JAASRealm in your server.xml
1 Develop code: I use the following classes:
PassiveCallbackHandler.java
RdbmsCredential.java
RdbmsLoginModule.java
RdbmsPrincipal.java
These classes I put in the package rdbmsjaas.
In the %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/Javaworld_Jaas/WEB-INF/lib directory I created the rdbmsjaas.jar file.
The jsp is called jaas.jsp, and is stored in %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/Javaworld_Jaas
2. Setup login.config
In %CATALINA_HOME%\conf I saved the file Javaworld_all_that_Jaas.config, containing:
Example {
   RdbmsLoginModule required
   debug="true"
   url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jaasdb?user=javauser&password=javadude"
   driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
};I created an XP Environment Variable JAVA_OPTS with the value <-DJAVA_OPTS=-Djava.security.auth.login.config==C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0/conf/JavaWorld_All_That_Jaas.config> (excluding < and >)
I used the fully qualified address, instead of $CATALINA_HOME/conf/JavaWorld_All_That_Jaas.config. I think XP balks when it sees $CATALINA_HOME).
3 Configure JAASRealm in server.xml
In %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\ I changed web.xml. I added the following lines:
      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm"
             appName="jaas"
             userClassName="rdbmsjaas.RdbmsPrincipal"
             debug="99"
       />If I run the jsp from http://localhost:8080/JavaWorld_Jaas/jaas.jsp, I can enter my username/password, but when I click the Submit button, I get:
Caught Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to locate a login configurationWhere did my configuration go wrong?

You will need a JSP/servlet engine such as Tomcat - Apache alone won't do it.
I haven't seen any tutorials on set-up but the Tomcat documentation includes info on how to link to Apache. There are also books you can buy - check out the online book stores such as Amazon.
There's also a lot of info on this forum.

Beginner question: creating my own virtual instruments from samples

Hi, I have a beginner question. I'd like to make a click-track, but I want to use my own sounds, either recorded or from the internet. Can I do this with Logic Express 7, or do I need Logic Pro 7 and the EXS24?
Thanks,
Ryan

I think you can do it, but it might be a pain.
You could import a sample of a single click and just paste it into every beat on the Arrange Page.
Other than that, you might need the sampler included with Logic Pro

Beginner question: no vlaue from dimension fits,want totake "all" element

Hello,
My next question, this time an OWB-question (or maybe a general DWH question).
The scenario:
I have to load data into a cube (from different sources) , but not all rows to load have got a corresponding dimension value. Why? Sample:
I have rows where I can say the it is a call,chat or mail. A transaction can be distributed to call,chat and mail. For Example 10 EUR mail, 10 EUR chat, 0 EUR call. But from one source I can not say it is from call, chat or mail. I have the sum of all in the measure.
I designed dimensions in this way ( for example) Dimension REG_PATH:
ALL-element (node) and the leafes
-mail
-chat
-call
Levels: ALL_REG_PATH, REG_PATH
hierarchy STANDARD with Levels in this order
ALL_REG_PATH
REG_PATH
So when I chose in my frontend (not an Oracle product)
the ALL-element I see all of the objects.
Now I want to load data with call, chat or maybe with the key for the all-element. Ok, no drill down is possible, but it is ok. When I load the data, rows will be load wit call, chat , but when I try to load data also with the value for the all element no data will be load (cube build log say all data loaded?!?).
Can someone explaine what is wrong, why I cant load the data ? Is it not possible to load thne data with the valu from the node ?
Thanks
Michael

Hello Alan,
I am using the newest Version OWB Version 11.2.0.3 , the AWM – Client 11.2.0.2.0B.
I designed the dimensions and the Mapping with OWB. Yes, I load my data into AW.
I have different loaded Cubes in our AW, so the load function.
It is raining in Berlin :-(

Vertical Reporting against dimension

Hi,
My client has a dimension table that is 1:1 with fact table for demographic info of each fact record (i.e., Gender, Ethnicity, etc), having separate columns for each demographic.
On the reporting side, they want to show these categories and values vertically and pivot with year to show measures like this:
................................2008.....2009
Gender....Male..............123.......456
.............Female...........123.......456
Ethnicity..White.............123.......456
.............Black.............123.......456
.............Asian............123.......456
Problem is there is no 'Category' column, and also these values for each category are in separate columns. Is there a way to do this report in Answers or RPD? If not, is there anything that can be done to the data model without increasing the number of rows?
Thanks

If the categories are not too many (for example 3 or 4) and composed by 2 fields with the same format (varchar)
You can use in Answers the option "Combine with similar Request"
So your answer will be:
select 'Gender', Dim.gender,Year, qty
Combine with similar Request
select 'Ethnicity', Dim.Ethnicity,Year, qty
Then you will have to do the pivot table...

Report Dasiy Chaining - 1 report, combined output of multiple reports

I have a question here. Is there a way to create a report that will combine the output of other BIP reports into one report? In my case, the person who runs out reports want to run every report concerning units from 1 report. Right now the reports consist of 3 individual RTF templates spread over 2 individual reports. I have attempted combining the data templates and rtf templates where each report was in its on section but this is not working very well because I have no way to reset page numbering when the reports flip over from one to the next. I have it set in word to reset at the end of the sections yet instead of 1 through x in report 1 then 1 - y for the pages of the next report I get 1 through (total number of pages). But is there an easier way to combine it?

BPC 10.0- Creating report using dimension property filter

Hi,
I created a new report in EPM addin for excel using the 'Filter Members by Properties' feature in the EPM Member Selector Window.
My requirement is as I add new members to my dimension with that property value , the report has to refresh and display the new member in the report.
The feature met my requirement and I saved the report.When I reopen the report, the filter that I had earlier used to create the report is hard coded with the members with those properties in the EPM selector Window.
As a result, when I add new Members to the dimension with that property , the report does not recognise that new member and my requirement does not meet.
Eg: I create report with Entity dimension across row axis and Product Dimension -filter on category = New across column axis
and save the report.
When I reopen the report, I see that in the EPM Member selector window, across column axis the members with Property Value Category= Y - Product A,Product B, Product E are hard coded and the filter has been auto removed.
So when I add a new member to my product dimension Product N with property Category= New, the report does not recognise this member.
Please help on how can I use this feature to meet my requirement.
Regards,
Sowmya

Hi,
It should work for newly created members which meets the requriement in member selector.
Member filtering by properties:
Select property, operator and Value and click Add Dynamic filter then in the right window you will be able to see as follows:
Member name Relation ship
<property>=<Value> Property
Hope it works,
Thanks,
Raju

Did I Dream It? Combined FCE/FCP Questions In Final Cut Forum?

I am sure that for the last few weeks the Final Cut Forum has combined the questions from both FCE and FCP.
Then yesterday - NOTHING! Just a doorway for entering FCE, FCP, LiveType etc.
Did I dream it?
I actually liked the combination of the 2 sites.
Did anyone else?
