I am trying to pull out all the hierarchy values for a particular segment in Oracle Apps(referring tables applsys.fnd_flex_Value_norm_hierarchy & applsys.fnd_flex_values). I want a tree like display starting from the top parent and going down until the last descendant) something like this:
I have been able to pull the data with repeated parents across each lines and currently formatting this manually in excel, but am sure there is a way to do this using sql itself but not able to do it. Please note I have already written a sql which gives me data as follows.
Any suggestions would be really helpful.
We have a treewalk SQL for this data in our Blitz Report library here: https://www.enginatics.com/reports/fnd-flex-value-hierarchy/
The output looks like this:

My apologies in advance if this question has already been asked, if so I cannot find it.
So, I have this huge data base divided by country where I need to import from each country data base individually and then, in Power Query, append the queries as one.
When I imported the US files, the Power Query automatically generated a Transform File folder with 4 helper queries:
Then I just duplicated the query US - Sales and named it as UK - Sales pointing it to the UK sales folder:
The Transform File folder didn't duplicate, though.
Everything seems to be working just fine right now, however I'd like to know if this could be problem in the near future, because I still have several countries to go. Should I manually import new queries as new connections instead of just duplicating them or it just doesn't matter?
Many thanks!
The Transform Files Folder group contains the code that is called to transform a list of files. It is re-usable code. You can see the Sample File, which serves as the template for the transform actions.
As long as the file that is arrived at for the Sample File has the same structure as the files that you are feeding into the command, then you can use any query with any list of files.
One thing you need to make sure is that the Sample File is not removed from your data source. You may want to create a new dummy file just for that purpose, make sure it won't be deleted, and then point the Sample File query to pull just that file.
The Transform Helper Queries are special queries that you may edit the queries, but you cannot delete and recreate your own manually. They are automatically created by PQ when combining list of contents and are inherently linked to the parent query.
That said, you cannot replicate them, and must use the Combine function provided by PQ to create the helper queries.
You may however, avoid duplicating the queries, instead replicate your steps in the parent query, and use table union to join the list before combining the contents with the same helper queries.
Looking for a way to add manual data into Grafana. Want to display the results of a simple survey consisting of questions such as, "how old are you?", "how long have you worked here?" and so on. Summarizing the answers in grafana with graphs or similar would be tremendous.
Setting up a data source for this seems unnecessary, wondering if there is a plugin or something that allows me to do this? Not too familiar with the JSON behind the panels, but maybe it is possible through that aswell.
If anyone is wondering why I'm trying to do this in such a weird and unfitting way, it's for a school thing... :)
You can generate graph by manually putting data. To do so:
Go to configuration: click on Add data source
Select TestData DB, Change the name and click Save & Test
Create new dashboard: Add Panel -> Add query -> select data source to TestData
Add data to string input field and Alias (i.e. How old are you?)

You can use CSV plugin for grafana. I use excel and then save the data as CSV.
Below is snapshot of the data where we are portraying our test results.
Tableau is an excellent tool for visualizing data. However, it is designed to be the final stop in a data (ETL) pipeline.
My Tableau workbook uses a bunch of Table Calcs to generate a list of "recommended orders". Rather than view these, I want to automate and execute them. This would make Tableau the engine of a quasi-ML process.
In other words, I would like to make Tableau a part of my ETL pipeline and send data to another tier. How can I write a back-end program that executes my Tableau workbook and receives a results dataset?
See the end of this article for example data I want to automate:
http://robm26.blogspot.com/2015/10/keep-your-factory-humming-with-tableau.html
Any ideas?
You're not not going to like the answer I'm going to give you -- "Don't do this".
Tableau isn't meant to be a task in a larger ETL pipeline and the reason you're having problems making it behave the way you want is it's not meant to be done.
Above and beyond the fact that you've figured out how to get a result that you want in Tableau ("the work is done"), Tableau isn't offering you any real value in the scenario you're describing. Use a tool (like Alteryx) that is really purpose built for this sort of work.
The above answer is correct that tabcmd is the way to pull it out. We use a function in python to generate the tabcmd requests so that they can be batched.
import subprocess
def runTabCmd(cmd):
# run tableau command and display the output
print cmd
if run_tabcmd == 'yes':
p = subprocess.Popen(
cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
for line in p.stdout.readlines():
print line
You probably already knew that, but for us it was a way to completely automate the pulling and loading into another python package like scikit-learn for a streamlined ML solution
I'm editing this answer to agree with Russell's answer. Tableau is not an ETL tool and should not be used as such. If you absolutely have to do something, you can use what I provided. Otherwise, the best practice is to use a tool designed for the job.
You can easily use tabcmd to get the results of a view in CSV, which can be used later in your ETL process. If you need to automate it, you can write a script and execute it with a cron job. I, myself, have a few views that are exported to CSV and used later in my ETL stream to feed our CRM.
Just remember to create the view exactly as you want it to be exported to CSV - usually including the order of the fields. Another tip is that I don't let it use the default "Measure Names" and "Measure Values" - to make sure everything is good on my CSV, I have the fields added manually in the row/columns section.
I have a sub report in my main report which has a multiple source, actually 3 stored procedures. All of them have the same parameters and each brings back one row. The problem is that I can not get the data in preview. I also tried to make a PDF, but I am having the same problem, no data. Anyway, I tried also "Browse Data..." option in database fields and I can see the data there, the only place where I can see it.
Does anyone know what could be the issue? Maybe it is something with multiple sources.
Thanks in advance.
I would suggest you to create 3 subreports with one stored procedure each . There will be the same number of calls to the database , but Crystal engine will not try to figure the links between the datasources
I am fairly new to JasperReports and iReport and am struggling with something, which seems should be basic.
If you use MongoDB then you know it does not support the concept of a 'JOIN'. Therefore, from the iReport main dataset query I want to set a parameter/variable from the results. Then I want to use the collection values I just set in a different dataset as a query parameter/variable (NOT table, or LIST - just a plain old simple dataset I create, which will also query MongoDB as the source).
It seems this would be a straight forward use case, but I don't see anything intuitive in iReport that seems would do this. Can this be done? If so any clues you can give me would be wonderful and greatly appreciated.
Do you want to pass the values as collection from one report onto the other ?
This can be done by writing the following in your filter expression $P{parameter_name}.contains($F{field_name}). Additionally, you need to create parameter with the same parameter_name with class type java.util.collection .
Now this report is ready to receive any parameters as collections. This works for MongoDB as I have tried this out. Now as you have already said that you have been able to send the collection from the main report, the above method will work for receiving the parameter in the second report.
