Crystal Reports New Page if More than 1 Page - crystal-reports-2008

I've been searching everywhere for an answer to this but no luck. I've only got limited abilities in Crystal Reports. Using CR 2008.
I've got an invoice that is split into Services and Expenses. Expenses are detailed in a sub-report.
What I want to do is force a new page at a section before the Expenses sub report if the whole invoice is more than 1 page.
I'm currently doing this by a setting "New Page After" in section expert if Services are Not $0 and Expense are not $0. along the lines of New Page After: {Table.Services} <>0 and {Table.Expense}<>0
Problem is if there is only a couple of entries for services and a couple for Expenses, this may fit on one page, but since both are not $0 it will still force a new page. I can't really do it by forcing new page if there are more than 3 service entries, as 1 service entry could in theory take up the same space as 5 small service entries.
I've tried the following workaround, but still no luck.
Created a Page count formula that will only show the total page, so if it's 2 pages, then the number 2 will show.
NumberVar startNum := 0;
ToText((TotalPageCount + startNum), 0)
I then tried to conditionally force a new page using section expert with the following:
{#PageCount}>'1'
End result is that the page will break at the section even if all info will fit on 1 page.
Hope above makes sense and hoping someone may be able to help!
Thanks

Similar scenario here.
You can group your data by "Services Name"
Then edit the formula as
GroupName ({spReport_YourReport;1.Services Name})=''

How do I navigate and select entries (for POSTing) from a matrix of values which run into several pages?

Please could any of you help me / give suggestions on how I can achieve this. A matrix (10 rows and 12 columns) of entries run on to several pages (page by page with a link to the next page). I need to select the entries and make payment for every run. It is not a good idea to create samplers page by page so I am trying to achieve below:
{
1. If entries found >= 20 on the first page:
a. HTTP POST
b. Go to step-4
2. If entries < 20 AND Next page (link) exists:
a. Click Next Page link (HTTP POST)
b. Go to Step-1
3. If entries < 20 AND Next page does not exist:
a. Print a message
4. Payment Page
}
The JMeter components you will need are:
If Controller - for choosing next request depending on the number of results
Module Controller - as the target for the If Controller

Web Scraping using simplehtmldom on multiple sites

I am using simplehtmldom parser for my recent web scraping project and the project is actually building a price comparing website build with CodeIgniter. The website has to fetch product names, description and price from different shopping websites. Here is my code:
$this->dom->load_file('http://www.site1.com');
$price1 = $this->dom->find("span[itemprop=price]");
$this->dom->load_file('http://www.site2.com');
$price2 = $this->dom->find("div.price");
$this->dom->load_file('http://www.site3.com');
$price3 = $this->dom->find("div.priceBold");
$this->dom->load_file('http://www.site4.com');
$price4 = $this->dom->find("span.fntBlack");
$this->dom->load_file('http://www.site5.com');
$price5 = $this->dom->find("div.price");
The above code takes approximately 15-20 seconds to load the result into the screen. When I try with only one site, it just takes 2 seconds. This is how the simplehtmldom works with multiple domains? Or is there a way to optimize it?
PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser has some memory leak issue, so before trying to load a new page, clear the previous one using:
$this->dom->clear();
unset($this->dom);
If this doesn't change anything, then one of your websites is taking much time to respond... you'll have to check one by one to find the culprit xD

reading EMV card using PPSE and not PSE

I'm trying to read the data off a contactless Visa Paywave card.
For the Paywave, I have to submit a SELECT using PPSE (2PAY.SYS.DDF01) instead of PSE (1PAY.SYS.DDF01).
The EMV book 1, section 11.3.4, table 43 only describes how to interpret the response for a successful SELECT command using PSE. Does anyone know or can refer me to a source that shows how to process the data returned from a successful SELECT command using PPSE?
Here's my request APDU:
00A404000e325041592e5359532e444446303100
Here's the response:
6F2F840E325041592E5359532E4444463031A51DBF0C1A61184F07A0000000031010500A564953412044454249548701019000
I understand tag 84, tag 85, tag BF0C from the response. According to the examples for reading PSE, I should be able to just send GET PROCESSION OPTIONS (to get the AIP and AFL) with PDOL = null after this successful response as follows: 80A80000830000.
But request 80A80000830000 returns error code 6985 - Command not allowed; conditions of use not satisfied.
I also tried reading all the files after successfully selecting the PPSE by traversing through every single SFI (0-30) and every single record (0-16) of each SFI. Yes, I also did the 3 bit shift and bitwise-OR the SFI with 0x4. But I got no data.
I'm stuck, any help that would point me into getting some info from my Paywave card would be appreciated!
Have you tried this tool from EMVLAB http://www.emvlab.org/emvtags/
Using that tool,
http://www.emvlab.org/tlvutils/?data=6F2F840E325041592E5359532E4444463031A51DBF0C1A61184F07A0000000031010500A564953412044454249548701019000
2PAY.SYS.DDF01 is for contactless (e.g. NFC ) cards, while 1PAY.SYS.DDF01 is for contact cards.
After successfully (SW1 SW2 = 90 00) reading a PSE, you should only search for the SFI (tag 88) which is a mandatory field in the FCI template returned.
With the SFI as your start index, your would have to read the records starting from the start index until you get a 6A83 (RECORD_NOT_FOUND). E.g. if your SFI is 1, you would do a readRecord with record_number=1. That would probably be successful. Then you increament record_number to 2 and do readRecord again. The increament to 3 .... Repeat it until you get 6A83 as your status.
The records read would be ADFs (at least 1). Then your would have to compare the read ADF Names with what your terminal support and also based on the ASI (Application Selection Indicator). At the end you would have a list of possible ADFs (Candidate list)
All the above steps (1-3) are documented in chapter 12.3.2 Book1 v4.3 of the EMV spec.
You would have to make a final selection (Chapter 12.4 Book1)
Read the spec book 1 chapter 12.3 - 12.4 for all the detailed steps.
You seem to have the flow mixed up a bit, you want to:
Send 1PAY or 2PAY, it doesn't actually matter for all of the cards I've tested. This will return a list of the AIDs available on the card. Alternately you can just select an AID straight away if you know it's there but good practice would be to check first.
Get the list of AIDs returned in response to 1PAY/2PAY, in PayWave's case this will probably be A0000000031010 if you sent 2PAY but you may get more if you send 1PAY.
Select one of the AIDs sent back (or one you already know is on there).
Then loop through the SFIs and records sending the Read Records command to get the data.
You don't have to send Get Processing Options before sending the Read Records command even though that's now a normal transaction flow goes.
I think the information you're looking for is available from this VISA website. But only if you're a registered and/or licensed partner of VISA.
EDIT: Looking at the resulting TLV struct under BF0C:
tag=0xBF0C, length=0x1A
tag=0x61, length=0x18
tag=0x4F, length=0x07, value=0xA0000000031010 // looks like an AID to me
tag=0x50, length=0x0A, value="VISA DEBIT"
tag=0x87, length=0x01, value=0x01
I would guess that you need to first select A0000000031010 before getting the processing options.
I was selecting application 2PAY.SYS.DDF01. when I should have been selecting AID = 0xA0000000031010. It looks like there's no records under application 2PAY.SYS.DDF01.
But there was 1 record under application 0xA0000000031010. After I got this application, I performed a READ RECORD, and the first record gave me the PAN and all the credit card info I wanted.
Thanks everyone for chiming in.

Google Analytics funnel ignore steps

I have following problem with tracking of Magento purchase on Google Analytics (custom theme, different from default checkout process).
My goal settings are following: http://db.tt/W30D0CnL, where step 3 equals to /checkout/onepage/opc-review-placeOrderClicked
As you can see from funnel visualization ( http://db.tt/moluI29d ) after step 2 (Checkout Start) there are a lot of exits toward /checkout/onepage/opc-review-placeOrderClicked which is setted as step 3, but step 3 reporting always 0.
Is there something that I'm missing here?
I've found the problem. Apparently second point (/checkout/onepage) was fired even on the third step.
When I changed it to regex match (/checkout/onepage$) everything started to work.

Scraping Real Time Visitors from Google Analytics

I have a lot of sites and want to build a dashboard showing the number of real time visitors on each of them on a single page. (would anyone else want this?) Right now the only way to view this information is to open a new tab for each site.
Google doesn't have a real-time API, so I'm wondering if it is possible to scrape this data. Eduardo Cereto found out that Google transfers the real-time data over the realtime/bind network request. Anyone more savvy have an idea of how I should start? Here's what I'm thinking:
Figure out how to authenticate programmatically
Inspect all of the realtime/bind requests to see how they change. Does each request have a unique key? Where does that come from? Below is my breakdown of the request:
https://www.google.com/analytics/realtime/bind?VER=8
&key= [What is this? Where does it come from? 21 character lowercase alphanumeric, stays the same each request]
&ds= [What is this? Where does it come from? 21 character lowercase alphanumeric, stays the same each request]
&pageId=rt-standard%2Frt-overview
&q=t%3A0%7C%3A1%3A0%3A%2Ct%3A11%7C%3A1%3A5%3A%2Cot%3A0%3A0%3A4%2Cot%3A0%3A0%3A3%2Ct%3A7%7C%3A1%3A10%3A6%3D%3DREFERRAL%3B%2Ct%3A10%7C%3A1%3A10%3A%2Ct%3A18%7C%3A1%3A10%3A%2Ct%3A4%7C5%7C2%7C%3A1%3A10%3A2!%3Dzz%3B%2C&f
The q variable URI decodes to this (what the?):
t:0|:1:0:,t:11|:1:5:,ot:0:0:4,ot:0:0:3,t:7|:1:10:6==REFERRAL;,t:10|:1:10:,t:18|:1:10:,t:4|5|2|:1:10:2!=zz;,&f
&RID=rpc
&SID= [What is this? Where does it come from? 16 character uppercase alphanumeric, stays the same each request]
&CI=0
&AID= [What is this? Where does it come from? integer, starts at 1, increments weirdly to 150 and then 298]
&TYPE=xmlhttp
&zx= [What is this? Where does it come from? 12 character lowercase alphanumeric, changes each request]
&t=1
Inspect all of the realtime/bind responses to see how they change. How does the data come in? It looks like some altered JSON. How many times do I need to connect to get the data? Where is the active visitors on site number in there? Here is a dump of sample data:

Let me know if you can help with any of the items above!
To get the same, Google has launched new Real Time API. With this API you can easily retrieve real time online visitors as well as several Google Analytics with following dimensions and metrics. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/realtime/dimsmets/
This is quite similar to Google Analytics API. To start development on this,
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/realtime/v3/devguide
With Google Chrome I can see the data on the Network Panel.
The request endpoint is https://www.google.com/analytics/realtime/bind
Seems like the connection stays open for 2.5 minutes, and during this time it just keeps getting more and more data.
After about 2.5 minutes the connection is closed and a new one is open.
On the Network panel you can only see the data for the connections that are terminated. So leave it open for 5 minutes or so and you can start to see the data.
I hope that can give you a place to start.
Having google in the loop seems pretty redundant. Suggest you use a common element delivered on demand from the dashboard server and include this item by absolute URL on all pages to be monitored for a given site. The script outputting the item can read the IP of the browser asking and these can all be logged into a database and filtered for uniqueness giving a real time head count.
<?php
$user_ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
/// Some MySQL to insert $user_ip to the database table for website XXX goes here
$file = 'tracking_image.gif';
$type = 'image/gif';
header('Content-Type:'.$type);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
?>
Ammendum:
A database can also add a timestamp to every row of data it stores. This can be used to further filter results and provide the number of visitors in the last hour or minute.
Client side Javascript with AJAX for fine tuning or overkill
The onblur and onfocus javascript commands can be used to tell if the the page is visible, pass the data back to the dashboard server via Ajax. http://www.thefutureoftheweb.com/demo/2007-05-16-detect-browser-window-focus/
When a visitor closes a page this can also be detected by the javascript onunload function in the body tag and Ajax can be used to send data back to the server one last time before the browser finally closes the page.
As you may also wish to collect some information about the visitor like Google analytics does this page https://panopticlick.eff.org/ has a lot of javascript that can be examined and adapted.
I needed/wanted realtime data for personal use so I reverse-engineered their system a little bit.
Instead of binding to /bind I get data from /getData (no pun intended).
At /getData the minimum request is apparently: https://www.google.com/analytics/realtime/realtime/getData?pageId&key={{propertyID}}&q=t:0|:1
Here's a short explanation of the possible query parameters and syntax, please remember that these are all guesses and I don't know all of them:
Query Syntax: pageId&key=propertyID&q=dataType:dimensions|:page|:limit:filters
Values:
pageID: Required but seems to only be used for internal analytics.
propertyID: a{{accountID}}w{{webPropertyID}}p{{profileID}}, as specified at the Documentation link below. You can also find this in the URL of all analytics pages in the UI.
dataType:
t: Current data
ot: Overtime/Past
c: Unknown, returns only a "count" value
dimensions (| separated or alone), most values are only applicable for t:
1: Country
2: City
3: Location code?
4: Latitude
5: Longitude
6: Traffic source type (Social, Referral, etc.)
7: Source
8: ?? Returns (not set)
9: Another location code? longer.
10: Page URL
11: Visitor Type (new/returning)
12: ?? Returns (not set)
13: ?? Returns (not set)
14: Medium
15: ?? Returns "1"
page:
At first this seems to work for pagination but after further analysis it looks like it's also used to specify which of the 6 pages (Overview, Locations, Traffic Sources, Content, Events and Conversions) to return data for.
For some reason 0 returns an impossibly high metrictotal
limit: Result limit per page, maximum of 50
filters:
Syntax is as specified at the Documentation 2 link below except the OR is specified using | instead of a comma.6==CUSTOM;1==United%20States
You can also combine multiple queries in one request by comma separating them (i.e. q=t:1|2|:1|:10,t:6|:1|:10).
Following the above "documentation", if you wanted to build a query that requests the page URL and city of the top 10 active visitors with a traffic source type of CUSTOM located in the US you would use this URL: https://www.google.com/analytics/realtime/realtime/getData?key={{propertyID}}&pageId&q=t:10|2|:1|:10:6==CUSTOM;1==United%20States

Documentation 2
I hope that my answer is readable and (although it's a little late) sufficiently answers your question and helps others in the future.
