Alias names

What is alias names for columns and tables in joins. Is alias related to speed of retrieval process.If yes how ?. If not, then what is the purpose of alias. Can u suggest me a solution.

Is alias related to speed of retrieval process.No.
If yes how ?. If not, then what is the purpose of alias. Can u suggest me a solution.Alias names for tables can make coding (and understanding) a large sql statement much easier by being able to tell at a glance which table a column comes from.
If you have column names that are identical in multiple tables (like in a join) then you must qualify which table/column you are referring to. You can do that with the entire table name (long and tedious) or use the alias, which is usually just a few characters.
Column aliases are often used when the column is a function like:
select to_char(sysdate,'YYYY/MM/DD') todays_date
or
select (price * quantity) total_amount

How to Change the Alias name for Internet user in SU01 tr code through cod?

Hi Guys,
             My req is we have to change the Alias name(SU01 tr code) for the existing users thru code.So can anybody tell me how to change the Alias name like which we do it in SU01 tr code thru code or FM.?

Thanks,
Gopi.

Hello Gopi Anne ,
                             You can use the following FM / BAPI :
BAPI_USER_CHANGE
MY_BAPI_USER_CHANGE
For BAPI_USER_CHANGE :
You need to make use of the IMPORT parameter :
ALIAS     TYPE     BAPIALIAS                               User Name Alias
ALIASX     LIKE     BAPIALIASX                               User alias change flag

How to sort the members by alias names

I am trying to create dimension build rule whicl will sort the dimension members in an ascending order, but it has to be based on the alias name instead of the member name.
I have tried both Parent-CHild and Generation reference but it doesn't work.
For example
for the city members PSE ( alias name Purchase), and USALB ( alias Albany) needs to be sorted by alias names
the current order is
PSE(Purchase)
USALB(albany)
but the requirement is to be
USALB( Albany)
PSE(Purchase)

Even with presorting the input, you still have work to do. By default, Essbase will add new members to the bottom of the list of membrers, it does not insert them into an existing hierarchy in the right places. If your trying to update existing hierarchies and are going the SQL route, you will need two rules (or 1 rule and a flat file). You also need to specify remove unspecified as part of the dimension build process.
HAve a dummy input (either sql or file) that gets loaded the first time. IT will basically wipe out all the members of the dimension, then your second rule (or same rule calling your SQL) can reload the dimension sorted in alias order.
IT is important that these two rules be done together (either in MaxL using comasin a single statement) or in a BSO cube in the outline before the outline is saved. Otherwise you will have deleted any data that existed in the database. It would be impartant that your SQL also pulls all members (including any special members)

You say you are going to change the stored procedure. That is not necessary, you could put an order by clause in your sql extract statement

Not able to get the Alias Name(Member Description) in FR by using Planning

Hi All,
we are using the 11.1.2 version in my project. While i am developing the FR repots by using planning database i am not able to find the Member name in my report, but i am able to see the option. MemberName, Alias and Both. If i check the Alias or both its giving only member name only.
Any ides on this or any post are there prior this .
Thanks in Advance.
Rao

Rao,
Thanks for the info! It is strange that despite having alias name report is populating member name. It is not the first time strange things hapend with FR.
Can you please check if you are connecting to same data source where you see alias name? Can you pull alias name from SmartView?

SQL query - Alias name (value) as parameter to an Oracle function

Hi,
I have a sql query something like
Select tbl1.valueA, tbl1.valueB, tbl2.valueX, MAX(CASE tbl2.valueY = 'XX' THEN tbl2.valueZ END) AS "ValueZ header", Function(tbl1.valueB, tbl2.valueX, "valueZ header")
FROM table1 tbl1
JOIN table2 tbl2 ON tbl1.id = tbl2.tbl1id
WHERE ...
my problem is that I need the value from MAX statement as parameter to the function and I have tried to use the alias name (valueZ header) but this is not working. I guess because of some syntax error. Can I use alias name as parameter into the function at all - if - how should I do this?

You could repeat the entire MAX (CASE ...) expression as the 3rd argumnet to your function, or you could compute it once in a sub-query, then reference the column alias as often as you like in the super-query, like this:
WITH     got_valuez_header     AS
     Select tbl1.valueA
     ,     tbl1.valueB
     ,     tbl2.valueX
     ,     MAX ( CASE
                        WEHN tbl2.valueY = 'XX'     -- Don't forget the keyword WHEN
                  THEN      tbl2.valueZ
                END
              )          AS "ValueZ header"
     FROM         table1     tbl1
     JOIN         table2     tbl2     ON     tbl1.id     = tbl2.tbl1id
     WHERE          ...
     GROUP BY     ...
Select tbl1.valueA
,     tbl1.valueB
,     tbl2.valueX
,     "ValueZ header"
,     Function_x ( tbl1.valueB     -- FUNCTION is not a good name for a function
             , tbl2.valueX
             , "ValueZ header"     -- Case-sensitive
FROM    got_valuez_header

I this possible anyother way to use this Day1<br>06/09/2005 alias name without using " "
select sum(count) Day1<br>06/09/2005 from test
Millions of thanks in advacne..

if your alias name for a column contains spaces, it needs to be enclosed in double-quotes.
is there a real need to have such a column heading? what is the problem in enclosing the alias name in double-quotes?
SQL*Plus has no problem displaying such a column heading? what issue are you encountering?
SQL> select sum(sal) "Day1 06/09/2005" from emp ;
Day1 06/09/2005
29025

How to specify alias name in system property while making 2way SSL con ?

Hi All,
I am tring to run a java client with 2way SSL which uses CAC card as keystore for the client. I have addded the following system property in my client program to make it work and change the java.security file to add pcks11 provider.
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", "pkcs11");
System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl");
The program works fine and handshake is successfully done . But the problem is when i have more than one trusted certificate in the CAC card, it take a default certificate. I want to specify the certificate that should be used to do the client auth maybe specify the alias name . I didnt find any system property to do so.
Please let me know how to specify alias name as system property so that the 2way SSL used the specified alias for the client auth or is there any other way to specify the alias name. As in case i acccess the server URL from any browser i get a certificate selection prompt and the connection is established with the selected certificate.
Thanks in advanced,
Ruhul

I didn't find any system property to do so.There isn't one.
Please let me know how to specify alias name as system propertyYou can't.
You would have to write a custom KeyManager. See the JSSE Reference Guide.

Issue with Column Alias Name in a SELECT statement

I am trying to run sql query(IN ORACLE) to get the data from a remote database(TERADATA). The query is
select (table1.exp_date - table1.setup_date) AS day_diff,
CASE
WHEN day_diff = '0'
THEN 'YES'
WHEN day_diff > '0'
THEN 'NO'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END AS alias_type
from table1@remote_database_name;
The query is running fine when I run it in TERADATA environment directly without the remote database link since it is not necessary. If I run the above query in Oracle I am getting an error ORA-00904: invalid identifier.(this error is pointing to day_diff alias name)
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

The Column alias can be used in the ORDER BY clause, but not other clauses,like WHERE clause, in the query.
Use..
select (table1.exp_date - table1.setup_date) AS day_diff,
CASE
WHEN (table1.exp_date - table1.setup_date) = '0'
THEN 'YES'
WHEN (table1.exp_date - table1.setup_date) > '0'
THEN 'NO'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END AS alias_type

Alias name for the column name in Prompt

Hi,
I have a scenario where I am taking column names into prompt. I have used the following SQL in the SQL results under "Show" option of the Prompt.
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' END FROM "Real Time"
My problem here is I am getting the column names into the Prompt as "Orders"."By OrderDate" and "Orders"."By ShipDate", which is not acceptable and readable for mat for the user. Is there any way that I can assign an alias name for the column name such as OrderDate and ShipDate in the above SQL.
Your quick respose is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rama

hi,
try an alternative one....in your administrator make new columns with alias to ones you want...so you wiil be able to show whatever you want.
Otherwise,is it possible to show
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' as "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' as "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"END FROM "Real Time"
Ending,you want the data from your columns?or just the name??
hope i helped...

Dynamic alias name in query

Is it possible to use dynamic alias name in query for interactive report?
I have this SELECT and I would like to use the parameters used in alias request to build a dynamic crosstab report:
SELECT p.annee AS "Année", p.desc_rls AS "RLS",
SUM(CASE WHEN p.age BETWEEN :P2_AGE1 AND :P2_AGE2 THEN p.pop END) "0-4 ANS",
SUM(CASE WHEN p.age BETWEEN :P2_AGE3 AND :P2_AGE4 THEN p.pop END) "5-9 ANS",
SUM(CASE WHEN p.age BETWEEN :P2_AGE5 AND :P2_AGE6 THEN p.pop END) "10-14 ANS"
FROM pop_rls_isq_111 p
GROUP BY ROLLUP(p.annee, p.desc_rls);
Instead of coding "0-4 ANS" as alias, I would like for example use the parameters ":P2_AGE1 - :P2_AGE2 ANS".

Hi,
to make your column headings dynamic you can use the substitution syntax in the "Column Heading" property of your IR columns. For example:
&P2_AGE1. - &P2_AGE2. ANSHope that helps

Seeburger AS2 "Unable to find trust alias name"

Colleagues,
I receive the com.seeburger.ksm.cryptoapi.exception.CryptoApiException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException
message plus the "unable to find alias name TRUSTED\" when I attempt to transmit an outbound EDI document using Seeburger's AS2 adapter.
It appears that the AS2 adapter cannot find the key store that holds the certificates I am using.
There also was the following message:
"JCA error: Unable to forward message to JCA adapter. Reason: FatalExcetpion: com.sap.aii.rf.ra.cci.XIDeliveryException. Seeburger AS2 HTTP- Client component # failed java.security.PriviligedActionException: com.seeburger.ksm.cryptoapi.exception.CryptoApiException"
Am I missing some configuration that points the to the keystore I need ?
All responses appreciated.
Regards,
Andy

Hi Sajal,
Try this:
follow these steps:
->Launch the Visual Administrator
->Goto to ServicesKey Storage
->Choose load and select the file containing the certificate (.cer or .crt file)
As the XI configuration will refer to the certificate by name, the name should be somewhat self-describing. The certificate name should not include any date or time.
Reward points if this helps

Pragathi.

Sort by Alias name in Webform

Hi All,
Greetings!!!
I have defined employee dimension as row in Webform and display property as "Alias". Now the requirement is, I need to display the employees based on sort by their alias names.
Thank you so much for your kind help
Regards,
tvmk

I am sure others will also share their opinions, but I think this can be done thru updating your metadata upload process. Let say you get your Employee list from PeopleSoft and update your employee dimension by using one of the ETL tools (ODI, outline load utility, HAL, etc). I am not an ETL expert, but I have seen this before where the sorting would take place in the ETL process, so the members are loaded to your application in ascending order. Makes sense?
