Answers Set operations

Hello All,
In Answers i have used the set operations functionality to union two columns and saved this as a report.
Is there anyway to create a dashboard propmt on this report (basically its a single column contain the results of 2 columns)
Please suggest any idea.
Thanks in advance

Go to the advanced tab of your answers with your union, copy the obiee logical sql.
Then in your dashboard prompt, choose in the show column "set SQL" and copy your sql.

Problem in Adhoc Query's set operation functionality.

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem executing Adhoc Query's set operation functionality.
In Selection Tab, following operations are performed :-
Execute a query and mark it as 'Set A'.(Say Hit list = X)
Execute another query and mark it as 'Set B'.(Say Hit list = Y)
In Set operation Tab, following operations are performed :-:-
Carry out an Operations 'Set A minus Set B'.
which results in Resulting Set = Z.
Transfer the resulting set 'in hit list' and press the copy resulting set button.
In Selection Tab, Hit list is populated with Z.
And when output button is pressed, I get to see 'Y' list and not 'Z' list.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Set operations in AdHoc Query - user settings

Hi
I am checking out the Set operations in AdHoc Query. The documentation says you should save the setting "Set operations shown" as a user setting. Could anyone advise me where this is set? I can't find a parameter for it, and can't find it in the regular settings.
Any help appreciated.
Kirsten

The save is automatic upon exiting Ad Hoc query. Once you do "Show Set Operations", work on a query, save and exit, the next time you open Ad Hoc query, Set Operations tab is displayed by default.

Set operations & tables with different columns

I have a problem. I have 3 tables - Countries, Locations & Departments. I want to output the country_id and country_name from the countries tables for countries that have no departments. Locations has country_id and location_id columns and departments has location_id and department_id columns. All is in Database 11g. I can produce a table which gives me the locations with departments or without departments as follows:
select location_id from locations intersect select location_id from departments;
This gives me a list of locations with departments. Conversely I can get a list of locations without departments as follows:
select location_id from locations minus select location_id from departments;
However, to combine this output with the countries table I need to produce country_id in the output. However, when I try to add country_id to my code from above as follows:
select country_id, location_id from locations intersect select to_char(null), location_id from departments;
I get no rows found. I understand why. There is no intersection between country_id in locations and the null output from departments (where there is no country_id column). Alternatively, if I try as follow:
select country_id, location_id from locations minus select to_char(null), location_id from departments;
I get rows with every country_id whether they have departments or not. Again, I understand why. I am essentially subtracting nothing (the to_char(null) from departments) from the country_id column in locations and getting the entire country_id column as output.
How can I use set operations to produce the country_id column? I also do not want to show the location_id problem.
This problem is repeated when I try for the final country_id, country_name final output. The countries table has these columns. However, the locations table does not have the country_name column. It only has the country_id column. So a query such as this one:
select country_id, country_name from countries intersect country_id, to_char(null) from locations;
presents me with the same problem as above. The country_id column intersects nicely, but the country_name file does not intersect as it does not exist in the locations table. Again, how can I use set operations to produce the country_id and country_name columns.

Hi,
the method I outlined for you above should be fine. It doesn't matter that there are one-to-many relationships which may cause repeated output rows; set operations (except for UNION ALL ) always return distinct rows.
Can you do a query on the countries table, that shows all countries?
Can you do a query involving all 3 tables inner-joined, that shows the countries that are related to locations and departments? (Repeated rows are okay.)
Then you can do a MINUS, to get only the countries that are not related to departments.
If you get stuck, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), the results you want from tha data, your best attemptat a query, and a description of the problem (including the full error message, if any).

AdHoc Set Query - set operations - practical use

Hi
I am writing a user manual about AdHoc Query - including Set operations. I am looking for good examples when to use the different operations. A-B is easy. Example - 'give me all employees that are not on maternity leave'. But I am struggling with good practical examples on when to use Union and Intersection. It needs to be examples that cannot be covered by selection criteria in one single query.
Does anyone have any good practical examples? Any help appreciated.
Kirsten

Hi Kirsten,
I use Set Operations many times to find individuals who do not have a certain infotype or plan. Example: Find all retirees who are not enrolled in a medical plan. Group A = All retirees;
Group B = All retirees in a medical plan. A - B = Retirees with no medical plan coverage.
Ad Hoc Query does not allow you to use "Or" logic in selection with different criteria. A Union could be used for this. An example would be employees who are in pay Grade 1 - 5 (Group A) or earn less than $50,000 per year (Group B). Intersection would be those in Grades 1 - 5 and earn less than $50,000 per year.

How to activate Show Set Operations in Ad Hoc query

When I go into ad hoc query using an infoset I created the Extras > Show Set Operations and Switch off object selection functions are greyed out and I cannot select them. On another infoset these functions are available for selection.
Is there some setting in the info set creation that allows these function to be available for selection?

Finding duplicates:Minus set operator in dealing with internal tables

Dear experts,
I am newbie to ABAP developement,i have been given an assignment to find the duplicate list of vendors in lfa table.
Now duplicate list doesnot means that text tokens will be just exact to conclude them as duplicate ,it could also be like
1111 Vendor ABC
1222 ABC Vendor
If anybody has clue ,how to work on such a problem ,plz come forward.
Right now i just tried initially how to find exact duplicates,i found on change command,it do works.
Then i am trying a new way which should just do the same thing.
I did as per this algorithm
1.Compute wholesome list in one internal table itab1
2.Used delete adjacent duplicates in itab2.
3.I feel itab3=itab1-itab2 will contain all duplicates in itab3.
Can anyone give me a hint.How can i do A-B ?.

Hi Arul,
There is no special aided SET operations upon internal tables in ABAP. Concerning your particular task I would say that you can try INSERT statement for each record in your internal table without preliminary comparing them with DB table. If there is a record in DB table with the same key then sy-subrc after INSERT will be non zero (actually 4) and no real insert would occur. So, only those records would be inserted which have no counterpart in DB table.

Mapping - split followed by set operation

Hi I'm trying to set up a mapping to use as part of testing my warehouse and need some help.
Overview
======
I have a number of different databases that combine through to my operational data store. One verification of our mappings is a simple check of record counts, source table vs target.
Because table names differ between source and target I have loaded (from a flat file) a translation table that maps one table name to another.
I have external SQL scripts that run on a scheduled basis to capture table names, record counts and date of last update from the system tables of four of my source databases and my target database. (soon I'll need to try and replace these with OWB scripts)
I am trying to build a mapping to conform these so I end up with a single fact listing target table, record count, update date, source table, source environment, record count, update date.
I have taken my statistics on the target database, outer Joined it to the translation table (not all target tables have matching translation table records)
Then split the result set by target environment (and remainder)
Then I join each result set to the statistics for the appropriate source.
Next I am using a set operation to union all the results back to my conformed result.
My Problem
=========
Those tables in the target database that do not correspond to a table in one of the four sources cause a problem. (they are either summary facts, flat files loaded or sourced from other databases I have not got statistics on yet)
I cant just link from the splits output set to the set operation because the other joins have added extra fields for number of records in the source. The documentation is very clear that the same fields must exist in the same order and datatype.
I have been trying to work out which mapping operation/s will produce the equivalent of SQL like select col1, col2, null, sysdate, null from mytable
Hmm as I type this up I think another alternative may be to output extra fields in the split (so it looks like the dataset after the join) but not to pass these fields on in the join for sets for specific environments. Ill try that alternative but would still like help with which mapping operator I could have used.

Can I have a little bit more technical information : A small exmaple would be very helpful.

Oracle 10g - Set Operator Union Causing Timeout Network problem

Purpose is to get all of the customers not contacted given a starting date and current date(sysdate). The problem is a timeout issue because the query is inefficient. Example: A salesman has 6,946 rows returned from the cust table where his salesid =1163. Then the inner query:
‘SELECT count(Customer_ID) FROM cust_info WHERE info_type_id = 32’
returns 225505 rows just based on this info_type_record.
Next, ‘SELECT c.customer_id
FROM customer c,
    event e
WHERE c.salesperson_id = 1163
AND e.eventdate BETWEEN '10-Feb-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE)
AND c.customer_id = e.customer_id
GROUP BY c.customer_id’
Returns 231 rows
Finally, ‘SELECT c.customer_id
FROM customer c,
    note n
WHERE c.salesperson_id = 1163
AND n.created_date_time BETWEEN '10-Feb-2010' AND TRUNC(SYSDATE)
AND n.note_type_id IN (1,3,4)
AND c.customer_id   = n.pk_id
AND n.table_name    = 'CUSTOMER'
GROUP BY c.customer_id’
Returns 399 rows.

It’s not problem with SET operator. while you are using date field in where clause, U must use date conversion function, otherwise it will stuck there
Here is the right sql, U can try with this
SELECT cust.cust_id, ssn, f_name, l_name, created_dte_tme, ttl_assets,
brnch_id, sales_id, bdte, ssn_typ, fullname, home_brnch_id,
no_mailings, no_calls, dceased_dte, ttl_assets_dte

WHERE c.sales_id = 1163
AND e.eventdate BETWEEN to_date('10-Feb-2010','dd-mon-rrrr') AND TRUNC (SYSDATE)

How do set operation timeout in tomcat server?

hi all
suppose i have one endless loop program(jsp) that program run under tomcat server,
so it's keep on runing in tomcat server.
i want, after some time the server send error message like operation timeout.
how do set operation timeout in tomcat server?
if anybody know help me.
my mail id [email protected]

Well, the server.xml file has connection time outs, but that is for idle time, I think... I'm not sure what would happen in a loop... , especially if you are sending some data back to the client in each iteration. Generally you shouldn't be starting a loop that will really run forever. Maybe have some type of counter to break out if something hasn't occurred within x iterations, or create a separate thread that can sleep for x seconds and set a flag to break the loop after that time.

RFE Proposal Set Operations - RFC

Greetings, this is a proposal for a Request for Enhancement in the JDK. It
is posted here for the review and comment. Basically an RFC on a RFE. =)
Please indicate your comments on the matter.
The proposal is to have a set of operations for perfomring Non-destructive

interface to names that are mathematically accurate; so that
removeAll(Collection c) would have an alias of difference(Collection c) and
retainAll(Collection c) would have a alias of intersection(Collection c).

}Transcript of mail session with Sun java developer after bug submission:
Hi Robert Simmons Jr.,
Thank you for the feedback.
The method names in java.util.Set conform to the parent interface,
java.util.Collection. As for the destruction situation, returning a new set
also would involve creating and populating a new set.
If you would like to pursue this Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE)
further,
I would suggest that you first post this idea to a newsgroup and request
comment from other Java developers. The issues that we have discussed are a
good starting point.
You can view a list of Java newsgroups at:

Based on the responses, please feel free to submit a new RFE containing a

I understand your reply now. However I put it to you that the names ofthese
operations are HORRIBLY named. They should be named according to the
mathematical operations. Further, they are destructive to the set being
checked and I dont want that. The set operations should give me back a set
and not destroy the current set. If they destroy the current set then Ihave
to spend time copying the thing before I run the set operation which is
truly not performant. Do an intersection of 400,000 elements with anotherfo
300,000 elements and you have to first copy one and then the retain all
method has to iterate through the entire set. This is very bad logic. Inthe
code I gave you, you have to only iterate through the set and not copy it.>

Doing set operations on Result Sets

Hi all
I am trying to make a table synchronization application.As far as specs go, There can be two similar tables in two different databases I will run a query on both the databases which will fetch me two separate resultsets, now I want to try doing set operations on this result sets like union, intersection etc. Is it at all possible? Is there a way to compare two resultsets efficiently? Can I some how tell my two resultsets to get the records which are not the same in both?

Not efficiently, no.

Set operations on Internal tables.

Hi,
Last week i had to enhance a program that has a internal table with some records. I need to find populate a table with the records in the internal table. But before populating i must find out the difference in the records (i.e) the extra records in the internal table compared with the records in the database table and then i have to append those records in the internal table again and then insert the internal table records into database table. while doing it i need to create another internal table with records in database table and then loop at it to find the extra records and rest of the logic goes on.
At this point of time it clicked in my mind "WHY DON'T WE HAVE SET OPERATIONS ON TWO INTERNAL TABELS(UNION, INTERSECTION, MINUS)".
Now i am doing some study how to implemnt it. Before that i want to find out whether that functionality exists in ABAP or anybody of youo gurus have done similar work on it.
Pls help me in proceeding with my work.

Hi Arul,
There is no special aided SET operations upon internal tables in ABAP. Concerning your particular task I would say that you can try INSERT statement for each record in your internal table without preliminary comparing them with DB table. If there is a record in DB table with the same key then sy-subrc after INSERT will be non zero (actually 4) and no real insert would occur.

Does EDQ support MINUS set operation

Hi
I would like to implement a MINUS set operation using EDQ - is this possible in EDQ?
For example, I have duplicate records in my input set and I can use the group and merge processor to generate the unique records (btw, it selects the lowest id of the duplicate records) but I want to output all the other duplicated records (that were eliminated as part of group and merge processor) as part of separate output list so some cleanup action can be taken on those records.
For eg for following input set:
id code
1   code1
2   code 1
3   code 2
The output of group and merge (merge is done by code) is
id code
1 code1
What I want is to store the following output (that was discarded by group and merge) for cleanup actions later - how I can achieve this using EDQ?
id code
2 code1
Thank you for your time.
Thanks,
Priya

Thanks Mike. Good to know about other configurable options under Merge BUT I'm still not sure how can I get a list of "other" duplicated values - other than the one that is the output of Group and Merge processor.
Once again, my input data set is something like
<id> <code>
1       code1
2       code 1
3       code 2
The output of group and merge (merge is done by code and it uses the default to select the lowest id or first one available) is
<id> <code>
1      code1
(The above default behavior for the Group and merge is fine for our example.
BUT, What I want is to store the following output (that was discarded by group and merge) for cleanup actions later - how I can achieve this using EDQ?
<id> <code>
2      code1
(As you notice, code1 is duplicated twice in the input data set and I want to write to the output the other record - meaning id=2 in the above example)
Thanks,
Priya

Set operations usecase

hi,
I am a new bee and would like to understand the use of SET operations ( UNION, UNIONALL, MINUS, INTERSECTION) can't we do the same with the use of JOINS ? Am I wrong ? please correct me....and few examples where there is no alternate except using SET operations will help me to understand the thing more clearly...
Thanks and regards
mahesh.
