I am using the Tour Planning API to route multiple trucks to deliver many orders.
The problem I am trying to solve currently is fully utilizing all of the trucks.
Let's say we have 100 deliveries to make and 7 trucks. I want the API to attempt to use all trucks (shifts). Currently, it will, at times, use 6 trucks or however most efficiently to route. This makes sense when cost savings is your only goal. The goal of our solution is also to take into account Driver Retention. If we have 7 drivers, we need to use all 7 drivers.
This feature is not yet available in the Tour planning production version. In the future, we may provide this feature where users would be able to ask Tour planning to utilize the maximum possible number of vehicles. Which in turn will use all vehicles if the number of jobs is more than the number of vehicles. Please contact HERE support or your HERE account executive to provide more input on your requirements

I run a monthly report which tracks session views by region, most popular knowledge articles, deflection rates, most popular product pages, software download stats, etc.
We have a new ELT member who is keen to get into the numbers around our contact centre. As I only look after the support site I need only concern myself with putting together a report which outlines what I feel will be useful information around web traffic. I want the report to be brief, and to highlight 4-5 key metrics.
Please can I have some suggestions for data you think would be useful given the target audience?
So far I am considering:
Deflection rates
Bounce rates.
Time on page
Most popular software downloads.
Global session views year to date.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
I think those metrics are great. Ideally, the value in the data comes from slicing your metrics with a dimension, ie pivoting. For example, bounce rate as an average means little whereas bounce rate by Content Group or Device Category would be more interesting.
Speaking of Device Category, consider completely isolating the metrics for Mobile vs Desktop+Tablet. Those experiences are so drastically different you'd be doing a disservice to average those metrics together.
Lastly, I'd say this new ETL member should get their own access to GA and learn how to pull the data need. GA now offers machine learning insights that quickly surface relevant drivers in metrics; a static approach to KPI reporting is becoming increasingly obsolete.
I am developing an app which will show live seat availability based on flight number using sabre apis.
https://developer.sabre.com/io-docs
I didnt find any way to do it.
Sabre needs marketing career details.
Is there any other way to get this using flight number only.
I believe that you want the seat map, this shows the available seats.
https://developer.sabre.com/docs/read/rest_apis/air/search/seat_map
Keep in mind, that if prices are returned they are as extra, the price of the seat will depend on the class of service used at the time of booking. And there are some seats that, even if available, the airline blocks them. Maybe for latter use, preferred customers, to have them available at check in, or whatever reason they have.
If you prefer XML, the EnhancedSeatMap service will give you what you need:
https://developer.sabre.com/docs/read/soap_apis/air/book/seat_map
The marketing carrier is needed to uniquely identify the flight, since the same flight number may be offered by other carriers for the same origin and destination, and the same date.
I need to understand the accounting entries that are created in Oracle ebs. For example, when we talk about a standard P2P cycle, there are certain accounting entries created right from the moment a purchase order is created, approved and received.
I have basic knowledge of debit and credit entries. But when it comes to making debit and credit entries in Oracle apps, when I look at the accounts being used, I can not apply the basic dr cr entry rules to the accounts.
Please advise on this. Kindly also suggest some resources from where I can obtain this information.
This isn't a simple answer as the DR and CR entries are all driven by the accounting setup. To use your example, when a PO is created, very little accounting is done. It isn't until the line is received and Create Accounting is run that debits and credits are really applied based on how the accounting rules are set. If you were to open a PO, click "All Distributions", select a line and then click Tools > View Accounting Events, you'll see the detailed debits and credits that the accounting setup has created.
I'm not sure what your role is (developer, analyst, accountant etc.) or your experience level, but I would suggest you familiarize yourself with the accounting setup of your organization to be able to truly understand it. My suggestion is to get a Financial Super User responsibility in your development environment and ask one of your Financial Analysts to show you the basics of your account setup.
If you really want a deep dive, login to your My Oracle Support account and start looking at the documentation (Doc 1597048.1). The user guides are exhaustive but very helpful when you get the right one.
The debit and credit depends on the accounting rule setup.
In simple terms:
Inv Validated:___Dr-------Cr
Inv Exp...............100
Liability...........................100
Inv Paid:________Dr-------Cr
Liability........100
Cash................................100
There can be several steps in between depending on the Accounting rules, like Encumbrance accounting.
I know how to easily control who can view what in a site by using the membership and roles feature. However, I now want to take this a step further and allow people to purchase access to specific features, billed monthly. Basically I need a combination of an e-commerce site that sells products, mixed with a role based membership site. Below is an example of a scenario we are looking to solve:
Our site has the following sections (products):
learn spanish, learn french, learn german, learn english
We now want users to be able to buy access to just what they want. So we can give a price to each of these products.
We would also like to offer bundling discounts, so buy 2 and get $10 off. Buy all 4 and get 25% off. This should be automatic, but if needed, a coupon is fine as long as it can figure out the logic of making sure they have the correct item
We would like to restrict discounts so that we can offer them only to the first 100 people or from the days X to Y (ideally a coupon system maybe)
We want users to be "grand fathered" if we update pricing. So if someone signed up for all at $60 a month, and we later make it $100, they stay at $60
This is a monthly service so we would need it to create our invoices and work with our CC processor. I know this will involve us making an API if the system doesn't include our processor.
If possible we would love for "Pro-Rated" features, so if they currently are paying for 3 items and they have 13 days left till next billing date, they can add the 4th and pay a pro-rated amount.
All of these features are very common features for an advanced membership site, however I am just not sure what to search for to find a framework like this. I can find eCommerce and I can find role based membership, but have yet to find a decent combination of the two.
Licensed is fine as long as it works for what we need.
Thanks in advance
The company I work for has just purchased 4 32" LCD screens to be mounted at the front of the office for demonstration purposes. Whilst we are not demonstrating (most of the time), the screens are to be used as development information screens for the whole team.
What information would people recommend displaying to be most useful to the team? Our focus is on hosted business web-apps but I am interested in what other teams doing other types of development find useful too. Pointers on how to gather the displayed information would be useful also.
Information about your continuous integration status.
Major Development Milestones that have been hit in the last week
Releases within the last month (including a short description why this release is awesome)
Use it as motivational board. The achievements of software development are seldom communicated well enough.
Since you're hosting apps for your customers, server and network status information would probably be useful.
Heck, why not create a "chat room" for the dev team to discuss issues and post a streaming version of that as well?
Schedule information, Scrum notes from that morning, a gantt chart...the possibilities abound.
Outstanding bugcount, sorted by priority and severity. You can likely get this from your bugtracking tool programmatically.
Depending on your process management
system, possibly a list of feature
requests and the percentage complete
on each of them. Again, you can probably get this programmatically from your process management / time tracking tool.
Time spent in the current development
cycle, and time remaining. Again, this should be available from your process / management / time tracking tool. You may want to use this data with your bugcounts as well to give a bugs / day fix rate.
If you're a public company with a
profit-sharing plan (i.e. stock or
options), the current price of the
stock (this can be surprisingly
strongly motivating). You can get stock data from several sources online programmatically (although a small delay may be injected unless you're paying for the service).

Metrics on Bugs found/fixed and the ratio.
One screen could be an aggregated RSS feed of development topics pulled from sites such as Stack Overflow (or even Coding Horror). Not sure what your goal for these screens is, but I could see it useful to me if you had a feed with topics specific to your development team headlined. If I were there, I'd glimpse them, maybe catch an interesting thread, and go learn something. Funnel a bunch of keywords and tags through a Yahoo Pipe and dump it to the screen.
That's if they are more "informal and informational."
I think most popular pages from your webapp(s) would be a fun/interesting thing to show on a big monitor up front.
Another would be a live feed of your error reporting.
We have one monitor showing all meetings for the day, with start-end, subject, and room. I find this helpful, not only for my orientation, but also to see what other people do at our company.
