Zeros in reports causing a problem

Hello All,
Scenario
We have been getting Asterisks in the "results" row in some of the reports. The obvious cause was presence of transactions with different units. On investigation i found the key figures (columns showing the asterisks in results) had a value '0' in some rows. This value had no unit assigned either. When i looked into that particular cube in the multi-provider that was resulting in these '0' s i found that these transactions had no entries for that key figure in the cube. They were blank. There were other characteristics and key figures for the same transaction that were populated.
Cause:
When the query is run this key figure along with others is populated for transactions which are pulled from Cube A. Transactions are also pulled from cube B for the same keys figures and characteristics but cube B has no values for this one particular key figure and all those rows in the report are replaced by a 0 without unit.
I tried changing the query properties to "Suppress Zeros" and "Do not display Zeros" but this only results in not showing the zeros. The result still has an asterisks.
I also tried changing the "Calculate result as - from 'summation' to 'not defined'" but this is effecting the query because the query has two conditions defined and using "not defined" causes the query to ignore the conditions and give the 'overall result'. SO it is necessary that we use Summation
My Question: Is this the case with all queries - blank transactions in the cube showing up as '0' without units and giving an '*' for the results? If not is there any way we can change the settings or define the key figures to avoid getting these zeros and leave the blank transactions as blanks in the report too and get a proper result in the result rows?
I would really appreciate if someone could please get back to me with solutions/suggestions as soon as possible. Helpful replies will be awarded points.
Thank You.

SSS,
Excellent suggestion! Made a note to remember this.... however
Correct me if i am wrong - This setting would result in allowing mixed values in ALL the reports. I am not sure if the reporting team would allow that. Unfortunately being in the development team i am not authorized to set this and test if it works but i will definitely suggest this and see what the reporting team's response is.
Quick question: Would this setting also solve the '' in the result? I understand that 'mixed currencies' setting outputs numeric value. Would absence of a unit for this numeric value (which in this case is just a '0') still result in '' for the overall result. If it does then i am back to square one.

Deserve 10pts for the suggestion...unfortunately at this time can assign only 6pts!
Thank You!

H E L P!!! Firefox crashes when I try to open..even in safe mode.Have sent several reports to Firefox,(which they said they would read report and FIX problem),but nothing has been done.This has been going on for 4 days.H E L P ! ! !

When I click on Firefox Icon to open browser a window opens that says..Firefox has had a problem and has crashed.It says a report will be sent to Mozilla and problem will be fixed when Firefox is closed,(It never opened),I click on close Firefox and it says a report is being sent.Then a few seconds later it says...Report successfully sent and closes.It also asked if I want Mozilla to contact me about this report,I checked yes and have recieved nothing.I WANT MY FIREFOX..This has been going on for since Nov.30th.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

When Firefox freezes, how can I shut it down, and re-start it without it automatically going to the site which caused the problem in the first place ?

I have Firefox set so that when I start up, I have it set so that it automatically goes to my home page. However when it freezes, which it does on a daily basis, and I have to shut it down and re-start, it automatically goes to the site which caused the problem in the first place.
If I was a hacker, I would probably find it quite fun to design a virus to reintroduce bugs after they had been exterminated - except that Firefox seem to have got there first.

Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
When Firefox resumes after a crash, instead of resuming automatically, it will display a list of your previous windows and tabs and you can deselect problem pages.
(This assumes it wasn't a private browsing session.)

Why is my report causing the server to crash?

When I run the report in developer it runs fine but when the webserver runs the report the webserver crashes.
I've checked all my fonts to make sure I'm not using a font the server doesn't have. I'm using Arial so I know that's not the problem.
Can someone tell me what the problem could be?

Brian,
Hard to tell you what the problem is based on the information given. Depending on the version of reports,
in 6i, the builder does not run through the server, but in 9i, all reports run through the server.I am running 6i. That would help explain why my builder works fine but the server doesn't.
You need
to try several reports to determine if it only happens with certain reports or all reports. Try creating a simple
default report and deploy it on the server and see if you get the same results.This server runs around 100 reports, most of which I've authored. Only a few reports seem to be causing this problem. I've only found one so far.
Also, you need to determine
if the web server or the reports server is crashing and what the error message your getting. This could
range from something as simple as a configuration change, maybe no temporary disk storage available or a
corrupt installation. Normally a font not available will substitute fonts or return an error message.When running the report through the browser the page just hangs. The server brings up an error message though:
rwrun60.exe exception: access violation (0xc0000005), address 0x6c627772
Also, depending
on the format your creating. PDF has some unique characteristics over say generating html. Suggest gathering
this information and posting another question or contacting Oracle Support for further help - make sure you also
identify which operating system you are using.All of my reports are generated in htmlcss.
The operating system is NT 4 Service Pack 6a.
Patchset 9 is loaded. All environment variable have been checked in the registry as well.

After osx software reinstalled if I pause for 30 minutes will it cause a problem?

after osx software reinstalled if I pause for 30 minutes will it cause a problem?

For us to help you we have to understand your problem. That means you have to provide an explanation of it as though we are all Martians. I don't know to what "macro" you are referring nor the "software" you had reloaded. However, from what you did describe I would like to infer you are talking about OS X. That your computer is not starting up, hence you get a startup gray screen with a folder icon that has an "X" in it.
That means the system software is not working properly or that you may have a bad hard drive. So, what you need to do is reinstall your OS X software. You will need either the original installer discs that came with the computer or a retail full Tiger installer disc-set.
You will need to boot from the installer and do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

[svn] 3189: Accepted patch supplied in SDK-16641 and SDK-16643 to fix bad text measurement when the textIndent style is non-zero (as reported in SDK-16454 and SDK-15558).

Revision: 3189 Author: [email protected] Date: 2008-09-11 17:33:50 -0700 (Thu, 11 Sep 2008) Log Message: ----------- Accepted patch supplied in SDK-16641 and SDK-16643 to fix bad text measurement when the textIndent style is non-zero (as reported in SDK-16454 and SDK-15558). The reported width should include the indent. Although this fixes the problems reported with Accordion and Button labels (and some other components like Panel that appeared in the bug examples), it doesn't fix the Text component (even though it appeared in the bug eaxmple for SDK-15558). For example, the following still is truncated for some reason: <mx:Text text="This mx:text gets truncated" textIndent="50"/> This is presumably a separate bug, so I'm accepting the patch as being a step forward even if not a complete solution to textIndent-related measurement problems.

I cannot control the sensor on my Mac, it moves by itself, and opens different pages. What can cause this problem? please help me.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Reset the System Management Controller.
3. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
4. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
5. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
6. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
7. If none of the above applies, or if you have good reason to think your computer is being controlled remotely, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi, disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop immediately, you should suspect an intrusion.

Cannot change numerous History settings in Privacy tab (is Norton 360 and/or Avast causing this problem?)

I have Norton 360 and Avast Internet Security 2014.
I AM able to change most Firefox settings.
I am NOT able to change numerous Privacy settings (mainly History and Use custom settings for history, including all subsettings). When I change certain Privacy/History settings, the browser tells me it must close and restart to disable this existing setting. When I open the Privacy tab after browser restart, I see that the change(s) I made did NOT take effect.
I have two enabled firewalls, managed by Norton and Avast, respectively (the Windows 7 OS firewall is disabled, probably because of the third-party management by Norton and Avast).
***What, specifically, is causing this problem (being unable to change some important Privacy/History settings), and what can I do to regain the ability to make any and all Privacy setting changes whenever I want to?
Thanks.

Speaking of avast!, you may want to disable the avast! Online Security extension. A variety of odd problems have been reported with it. You can do that on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.

PS Vita Firmware Update(s) causing a problem

My brother? He's been using my account. He doesn't have one

It's been a while since I used my Vita. I lent it to my little brother to play games on for a while. I got it back from him yesterday. There've been a good few updates since then but it seems one of them has caused a problem.
I felt like returning to my Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days save file only to get the infamous DLC Error when booting up. I followed all the tips and tricks that were used back on the PSP but to no avail. I looked around a bit more and people were reporting this from around January time. My save file was from October 2013 so there's definitely been a lot of updates since then. One post I read said it was working fine until he updated his Vita earlier this year. I have redownloaded and installed the game and all it's DLC a couple of times and also tried formatting my memory card after backing up my data. Even if I start a new game, the DLC cannot be found. Any help would be great, but I don't know if that would work. It seems that only someone official looking into this problem and seeing if they can find a solution is the only answer. Also, I have no idea if this is affecting any other games at this moment. Honestly I had no idea where to post this thread. I thought due to it looking like an update may have caused this that it may be best here. If not then I apologise. I'd also like to know how I can get in touch with anybody who could look into this if it's no good posting here. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.

Report painter performance problem...

I have a client which runs a report group consists of 14 reports... When we run this program... It takes about 20 minutes to get results... I was assigned to optimize this report...
This is what I've done so far
(this is a SAP generated program)...
1. I've checked the tables that the program are using... (a customized table with more than 20,000 entries and many others)
2. I've created secondary indexes to the main customized table with (20,000) entries - It improves the performance a bit(results about 18 minutes)...
3. I divided the report group by 4... 3 reports each report group... It greatly improves the performance... (but this is not what the client wants)...
4. I've read an article about report group performance that it is a bug.
(sap support recognized the fact that we are dealing with a bug in the sap standard functionality)

Anyone have the same problem as mine?

Report query parsing problem

I didn't find any report of this problem...
Using APEX 3.0.1.00.07, I have a report of type "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)" with the "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" radio button selected.
When the region source contains the string "ORDER BY" in any form that I've tried (even in a comment), attempting to save the region fails with "Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled."
I do indeed have column sorting enabled on certain columns, but I don't see how that is relevant under these circumstances since the query produced at runtime does not have an ORDER BY clause.
Am I overlooking something or is this a parsing problem?
Rodney

Rodney,
It's just checking for order by being included in your query, and if so and you have column heading sorting enabled, it's raising this error because you can't have both (even if it's commented out).
Regards,
Marc

Dual Monitor Causing System Problems?

Hi, I'm new to this site, so I hope this is where I ask this question! My design group switched to G5/Cinema Display screen from old g4 setups mid 2005. I retained my Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2020u monitor to use as a secondary display for pallettes, extra files, etc. It's hooked up using a dvi-vga adapter.
My new G5 had hiccups from the start, but around March 2006 I started getting Kernel Panics almost every week, serious slow-downs, Adobe app crashes, etc. It got to the point that I was troubleshooting every week, but could never put a finger on exactly what was happening. IT archive-installed 10.4.4 after we discovered the system had been updated to 10.4.6 and we thought that would solve the problem. While that solved the issues that were relevant to 10.4.6 glitches, it didn't fix everything and little, persistent problems remained, including stalls, crashes and kernel panics. After removing suspect fonts, wallpaper, icons, updating software, repairing permissions, tossing preferences, and other troubleshooting over and over, we (I.T.) finally switched my cpu to another one in the department using data migration (just my user information, not software or other files). Still the same hiccups and even new glitches appeared (InDesign crashing on spellcheck, Photoshop not granting me access to save changes to files, etc.), including two more Kernel panics (within 5 minutes of each other) in the two weeks since we switched hardware. More troubleshooting fixed the app-specific problems, but there are still the persistent annoyances occurring.
I again did all the troubleshooting mentioned above and finally someone mentioned that I'm the only designer in our group using a dual display set-up. Could there be validity to the non-cinema display monitor causing these problems and if so, what is the solution? I've disconnected the second monitor for now, but would love to have it back. Also, we work with a server (for instance, the kernel panics only happen when I try to place a file from the server into InDesign CS2 using the place command, so there's another avenue to go down if the monitor isn't the issue.)Thanks!

I only just disconnected the monitor, so it will take time to tell if that's a factor. As for the kernel panics, although it's always the same scenario (placing images from server through InDesign) they happen very randomly; it's not happening every single time I place a file. In fact, I just placed an image on the server into an ID doc I have on my desktop, no problem. So I can't say for sure that it has happened when working from my desktop or only when working on the server.

Firefox 5.0 is supposed to have a separaret Twitter tab, but I noticed today that that tab is missing. What is causing this problem?

Firefox version 5.0 has a separate Twitter tab built into this web browser. However, today I have been having problems with launching the Firefox browser. An error message appears, after attempting to launch the browser, which states that the Firefox browser is already running, and that the process needs to be closed or that the computer needs to be restarted. After restarting my computer and launching the Firefox browser, I noticed that the built-in Twitter tab ( near the upper left-hand corner of the browser ) was missing. What is causing these problems?

I'm pretty sure that Firefox version 5.0 has a built-in Twitter tab. Whatever the case may be, I downloaded Firefox version 5.0.1 this morning. I learned that if you right-click on a tab, that a menu box will appear on the screen. One of the options in that menu box is "Pin as App Tab." If I go to the http://twitter.com web site, and then right-click on the corresponding Twitter tab, and then select "Pin as App Tab," then a small Twitter tab will appear to the right of the orange-and-white "Firefox" tab ( in the upper left-hand corner of the Firefox web browser screen ). Then I can click on that Twitter tab and go directly to the http://twitter.com web site. However, when I exit the Firefox version 5.0.1 web browser, and then immediately re-launch it, the separate Twitter tab is gone. Is there any way, within Firefox version 5.0.1, that I can make the separate Twitter tab permanent after selecting "Pin as App Tab"? Thank you for your assistance regarding this matter.

BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me?
