Can I create a link based on multiple columns in Siebel? - siebel

Our Siebel application has 2 tables, both of them sharing 4 text fields. I want to create a link, to show as a child BC all the records from the second table, having the same 4 values as the current record from the first table.
In SQL this could be easily done with something like this:
select *
from table1 t1
left join table2 t2 on (t1.a = t2.a and t1.b = t2.b and t1.c = t2.c and t1.d = t2.d)
where t1.row_id = '1-23456';
Can I build something similar in Siebel 7.8?
I thought creating a link based on any of the text fields (the one with the least repeating values), and then filter the 3 remaining fields in the child BC search spec, but... how do I reference the parent BC values in a search spec? (Without using profile attributes or calculated fields, which would impact too much on performance).
Note: I can't change the tables for this task, however the child BC will be created for this task and won't be used elsewhere.

You will have to use a link search spec. Links can have searchspec, for exactly this reason. Go to links and search for NOT NULL on the searshspec column to see vanilla examples. The link searschspec is always applied on the child bc, so to accesss fields from parent bc, use the ParentFieldValue function
example:
[Account Id] = ParentFieldValue ("Account Id")
on link "Account Product - CPG/CG SVP Product Baseline - for Adding Data"

Filtering by keyword (string) in PowerBI

I have a data visualization in PowerBI that is powered by SQL on the back-end. I have one particular field that I'd like to be able to filter by string-matching. Here's what the field looks like:
me_drug_occurence
AB
C
ABC
BC
B
Each letter is unique and stands for a type of drug. More letters = combinations of drugs. No letter repeats more than once for a record. I want to use the "Filters on the page" option and have the user be able to filter by drug A, B, and C. By selecting A, for example, that would show any record that contains A (records AB, ABC,). Selecting A and B would show any record which contains A OR B (records AB, ABC, BC, B). And so on and so forth.
My issue is that there doesn't seem to be an out-of-the-box way to do this in Power BI? If I simply drag this column to the "filters on this page" sidebar, I just get options to filter by the different drug combinations.
If I choose "advanced filter", I can get closer to my goal, but it forces the user to put the keywords in manually:
So, my question is how can I accomplish a filter on this visualization that would look something like this:
Filter:
A
B
C
Where you could filter by any record that contained A, B, or C, or some combination thereof. Do I need to create a custom measure?
You already are on right path.
Use Advanced filtering.
In this use OR condition
I.e
drug contains C or drug contains B or drug contains A
This will filter out your records with only those which have either of above 3 condition matched.
Edit:
This is closest I could come up with your req.
1 Use slicer, for this slicer add filed drug occurence make it dropdown and searchable.
Now as a end user I will type in A so i get N no of records which will contain A.
As I user I will select all those records as screenshot below
and then If I type C it will show as below and select them as well
This will be the result
Now there is one filter on market place called Text Filter. Import it from marketpalce and there you can search like text (contains) but there you cannot add three different conditions. It will look something like below
Without text filter
After adding text for filter

How to Perform a Full-Outer Join on Two Separate, Filtered Tables using DAX?

I have an original table named Error, and two additional tables (ErrorBefore and ErrorAfter) derived from the original (e.g. ErrorAfter = ALLSELECTED('Error')). I want to compare values from a 'before' version with an 'after' version, with the different version picked by slicer with 'Single select' on. That's working okay. Now I want to perform a full-outer join on the two results, joining on the Message column. The image below shows the result I have so far, with a fabricated table at the bottom of what I'm trying to achieve. I've tried using NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN and GENERATE but they either don't give the result that I seek. Does anyone know how to perform the join?
PBIX share here.
First, change your data model to this:
I removed all your derived tables and relations, and instead created 2 tables like this:
Version Before = DISTINCT('Error'[Version])
Version After = DISTINCT('Error'[Version])
Both tables should have no relations with the Error table.
Then, create a measure:
Message Count = COUNT('Error'[Message])
You should always create measures yourself, never use Power BI auto-aggregations.
Next, create a measure for "Before" count"
Message Count Before =
VAR Version_Before = SELECTEDVALUE('Version Before'[Version])
RETURN
CALCULATE([Message Count], 'Error'[Version] = Version_Before)
and, similarly:
Message Count After =
VAR Version_After = SELECTEDVALUE('Version After'[Version])
RETURN
CALCULATE([Message Count], 'Error'[Version] = Version_After)
Finally, adjust your visuals:
Slicer "Before" should be based on table "Version Before"
Slicer "After" should be based on table "Version After"
Charts and tables should use "Message Count Before" and "Message Count After" measures in values
Add another table with messages and both measures

How to phrase sql query when selecting second table based on information on first table

I have two tables I would like to call, but I am not sure if it is possible to combine them into one query or I have to some how call 2 different queries.
Basically I have 2 tables:
1) item_table: name/id etc. + category ID
2) category_table: categoryID, categoryName, categoryParentID.
The parent categories are also inside the same table with their own name.
I would like to call on my details from item_table, as well as getting the name of the category, as well as the NAME of the parent category.
I know how to get the item_table data, plus the categoryName through an INNER JOIN. But can I use the same query to get the categoryParent's name?
If not, what would be the mist efficient way to do it? The rest of the code is in C++.
SELECT item_table.item_name, c1.name AS CatName, c2.name AS ParentCatName
FROM item_table join category_table c1 on item_table.categoryID=c1.categoryID
LEFT OUTER JOIN category_table c2 ON c2.categoryID = c1.categoryParentID

vaadin: moving data from selected row of table1 to table2

I have two questions:
I have two tables, table1 and table2. I need to design an application in such a way that a selected row of table 1 when clicked should get displayed in table 2.
How do I call a custom table? Suppose I have a class Table with empty constructor and I will pass arguments like Table(pagination). It has to show the table with pagination,
Similarly, Table(lazyloading) has to show lazy loading table. Table(pagination, Lazy loading,search) must show all three properties.
What you have to do for nr 1 is that you attach a Clicklistener to your table1 and on a Clickevent you take the selected Object ni table1 and add it to table2. Also add an if to not add rows that already exist in table 2.
This is how you copy data
public void copydata(){
Object o = table1.getValue();
if(!table2.getItemIds().contains(o))
table2.addItem(o);
table2.setContainerDataSource(table2.getContainerDataSource());
}
When it comes to your second question I have no clue what you are talking about, but I looks like you want to extend the Table class in vaadin to get your own features.

From a one to many SQL dataset Can I return a comma delimited list in SSRS?

I am returning a SQL dataset in SSRS (Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services) with a one to many relationship like this:
ID REV Event
6117 B FTG-06a
6117 B FTG-06a PMT
6117 B GTI-04b
6124 A GBI-40
6124 A GTI-04b
6124 A GTD-04c
6136 M GBI-40
6141 C GBI-40
I would like to display it as a comma-delimited field in the last column [Event] like so:
ID REV Event
6117 B FTG-06a,FTG-06a PMT,GTI-04b
6124 A GBI-40, GTI-04b, GTD-04c
6136 M GBI-40
6141 C GBI-40
Is there a way to do this on the SSRS side of things?
You want to concat on the SQL side not on the SSRS side, that way you can combine these results in a stored procedure say, and then send it to the reporting layer.
Remember databases are there to work with the data. The report should just be used for the presentation layer, so there is no need to tire yourself with trying to get a function to parse this data out.
Best thing to do is do this at the sproc level and push the data from the sproc to the report.
Based on your edit this is how you would do it:
To concat fields take a look at COALESCE.
You will then get a string concat of all the values you have listed.
Here's an example:
use Northwind
declare #CategoryList varchar(1000)
select #CategoryList = coalesce(#CategoryList + ‘, ‘, ”) + CategoryName from Categories
select ‘Results = ‘ + #CategoryList
Now because you have an additional field namely the ID value, you cannot just add on values to the query, you will need to use a CURSOR with this otherwise you will get a notorious error about including additional fields to a calculated query.
