Will DFP serve an ad which doesn't satisfy custom targeting? - google-dfp

In a typical Header Bidding system, we generally target line items using a bid price key value pair. Now many direct or guaranteed line items do not have such key value pair. Do they and if yes how they compete with the targeted line item?

Yes other line items would participate in the auction along with line items targeted to header bidding custom key values.
From DFP's perspective your HB line items are no different from the regular ones hence the auction would take place according to common rules:

...
The ad server selects the best line item to serve by scanning the list of eligible matching line items, starting with highest priority
and working down until it identifies the best candidate line item.
If dynamic allocation is enabled, DFP checks to see if a remnant line
item can be served without affecting the delivery goals or pacing for
the candidate line item. This increases overall yield for the network
without increasing the risk of underdelivery.
The ad server selects the best creative from within the selected line item.
The ad server serves the creative to the user.

Infopath Repeating Table Replacing Looked Up Values in all Rows; Values Based on Two Seperate Fields

Here's the thought process and believe it or not I had it working and then it broke, now I am not sure why or how to fix it.
I have a secondary data source that is housed in a SharePoint list that contains billing rates for various tiers depending on the customer.
When you initially select a Tier and then the subsequent Positions under the daily billing area all is fine and dandy and values look up as they should.
However as is often the case someone will input the wrong Tier for the billing sheet and it would need to be changed to reflect the actual Tier. When this happens InfoPath is grabbing the value from the first row for the lookup and making it the value for all the position rate fields in the repeating table.
You can change them back, by selecting a different position and going back to the original position, however that is another step.
Seriously, this is the last bit for me to sort out before I can put this project behind me. I've included some screenshots of the groups and how they are laid out and the rules I have setup.
[Rules for Rate Tier field](https://i.stack.imgur.com/DO7e4.png)
[Rules for Position field](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JF8bh.png)
[Groups and Fields layout](https://i.stack.imgur.com/7etEq.png)
[Example of issue I am having](https://i.stack.imgur.com/aKD3t.gif)
I've tried everything from filtering the rate returned by the Position in the secondary source matching to the Position in the form which is activated conditionally when the Rate Tier equals a specific Tier. I've tried eval which I am not familiar with so I either got true or false but it never returned field contents.

NetSuite Assembly Build error, "The total inventory detail quantity must be...", what is causing this?

Attempting to declare production of an assembly using the assembly build. As far as I can tell we have enough item inventory to assign the lots-bins-item-quantities to everything in the BOM. Cannot declare. Usually get an error about a particular item. Have seen that item be different on different attempts. Have looked at that item and appears we have enough. I've even decremented the BOM blow out to a lower quantity to assign inventory detail that matches.
I do notice that the "Buildable" quantity populates as about a half unit less than the build quantity I enter. This matches the "buildable" quantity shown on the WO. I don't know if these two issues are related. I can't tell how it's coming up with the buildable number or the constraint from matching the WO quantity.
Thank you.
You don't indicate if this is via SuiteScript, or via the user interface, so I'll assume this is the client interface.
The Builable figure is based on the minimum quantity of each component committed to the work order (if committment is enabled). Given that you are seeing a .5 less than the quantity required, then this item is buildable to a degree, but requires more component stock.
The message you are seeing on the assembly build can be because :
The quantity entered on one or more components doesn't match the bin location quantities e.g 7 are required but only 5 have been provided in bins ; and/or;
One or more items are serialised or lot controlled, and the inventory detail has not been completed to include this information. e.g. 5 are required, but the lot numbers XX and YY are used to a quantity of 4; and/or
The item being built is serialised or lot controlled, and the lot/serial reference of the built assembly has not been entered, e.g the serial number 5 are being built and serial numbers 123, 124, 125, 126 & 127 should be provided to create the serialised assembly.
See SuiteAnswer 28169 and SuiteAnswer 28170 for information on creating a build of serial & lot assemblies.

I want to count the number of agents that pass through 'pedFlowStatistics' line in Anylogic

In Anylogic 8.5.1, I am doing a simulation for library evacuation, I have set and agent with Option-list that contains different types of users: students, organizers, graduates, and others. Also, I have set 'custom distribution' parameter to set the distribution values for each user. Until now, I have run the model and every thing is working well.
What I want is:
1. to use 'pedFlowStatistics' line in particular places (I can do this);
2. want to count the users that pass this line (I do not know how to do it);
3. then draw a chart to highlight the different number of users that passes that particular line space (I do not know how to do it).
I need help in the above situation, thanks in advance.
I do not have a Java background.
It's not possible to count based on conditions with pedFlowStatistics... you can only count the total pedestrians using:
pedFlowStatistics.countPeds(); // counts total number of pedestrians
pedFlowStatistics.traffic(); //shows the number of pedestrians per hour
You can use these functions directly in your chart.
But since you want to count based on conditions (the type of user they are), you will need to be smart about this and depending on your model, you will have to count pedestrians in a different place... or maybe use 2 ped go to blocks and count in between... it depends on your layout and model.

Google dfp Frequency cap

Hi good day I have a line item that will run for a year but will only have a monthly impression of 50 thousand. How can I set this up on google dfp small business.
The frequency cap is per user we don't want it to be per user. Can someone please advice.
Many thanks
There is one workaround and one option inside DFP to make this work:
Create an order with a single line item with a running time of just one month and your monthly impression goal.
You can then copy this single line item 11x times with it's creatives in to the same order and adjust only the start/-enddate.
The ad unit code, etc. can remain the same in this setup.
If you want to rely on DFP's built in features you can choose a price priority line item, which would allow you to set a daily impression goal. You would need to target this line item type to a special ad unit in order to work. The daily impression goal is of course the amount of impressions you want to serve per month, divided by 30.5.
This can be easily done.
Go to your line item
Go down to "Adjust Delivery"
Tick "Frequency"
In the first field box, add "50,000" to denote your impressions limit and then in the 2nd box, leave it as "1" and then change the default "Day" setting to "Month".
Save
This will allow the line to serve to a limit of 50,000 max per month.

ExpressionEngine missing channel entries

I am working on a new web app which is based in ExpressionEngine and for the most part I am basing the content on channel entries. However I am experiencing some very weird issues with the exp channel entries tag in that it is not returning all relevant entries each time. I can't figure out what's going on with it as the entries are definitely available when viewing them in the control panel, and they will also show up as requested in my template, but sometimes they just disappear and/or are not processed properly. This is the case for large and small sets of entries also, ranging from 3 channel entries which fit the criteria specified within the exp tag to 500 entries.
Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
There could be a number of things going on here so here are some things to look at, just in case;
If the entries have entry dates in the future - you'll need your channel entries tag to have the parameter show_future_entries = "yes"
Likewise if the entries are closed, or expired, you'll need to add show="open|closed"
Are you looking at a particular category and these entries aren't assigned to the category?
Are you looking at a particular category but have exlcuded category data from the entries tag
Are you retrieving more than 100 entries? There is a default limit of 100 entries returned unless you specify a limit parameter.
