Error while using user defined function in reports

Hi,
When I use the below user defined function in oracle reports I got the wrong number of arguments error
select test_function(id,a_number,v_date-14,b_number) from dual;
If I remove -14 from the argument it works. But iIneed to subtract 14 days from the date.
Thanks for your help.

select test_function(id,a_number,v_date-14,b_number) from dual;
you have to give the command like this to_date(v_date,'dd-mon-yyyy')-14
because the v_Date you choose in the parameter form is not having the corrent date format
the format dd-mon-yyyy is the format in which v_date is passed by the user.

Strange errors when using user defined function in where clause

Hello,
I am having trouble with a function that, when used in the where clause of a select will cause an error if the first column selected is of type INTEGER. Not sure whether I am doing something wrong or whether this is a bug.
Here is a very simple test case:
create table test(
col1 integer not null,
col2 varchar(20) ascii default ''
insert into test values(1,'2011-03-15 05:00:00')
insert into test values(2,'2011-03-15 07:00:00')
CREATE FUNCTION BTR_TAG RETURNS VARCHAR AS
VAR ret VARCHAR(20);
SET ret='2011-03-15 06:00:00';
RETURN ret;
Select * from test where col2 >= BTR_TAG()
Select col1,col2 from test where col2 >= BTR_TAG()
=> Error in assignment;-3016 POS(1) Invalid numeric constant
Select '',* from test where col2 >= BTR_TAG()
Select col2,col1 from test where col2 >= BTR_TAG()
=> works as it should
MaxDB V 7.7.07.16 running on Windows Server 2003
I can replicated the test case above with Sql Studio and other ODBC based tools.
Thanks in advance,
Silke Arnswald

Hello Siva,
sorry, but I don't understand your reply:
This is not right forum to posting this question.
You are from which module or working any 3rd party application.
MaxDB 7.7.07.16 is the community version of MaxDb,
we are not using it for SAP
and no 3rd party software is required to reproduce my problem,
Sql Studio or Database Studio will do.

Multi mapping question using user defined function

Hi,
I have a message with multiple occuring nodes (i.e. one message with multiple orders (header + detail)) that I need to map to a idoc. I need to filter out of the source based on order type (in header) from creating an idoc.. How do I do it using user defined function + message mappping ?
mad

All - Thanks much.. Here is my requirement that is no solved by regular mapping
<Root>
<Recordset>
<Ordheader>
 <ord>
 <ord_type>
</Ordheader>
 <Ord_line>
 <ord>
 <Linnum>
 </Ord_line>
</Recordset>
<Recordset>
<Ordheader>
 <ord>
 <ord_type>
</Ordheader>
 <Ord_line>
 <ord>
 <Linnum>
 </Ord_line>
</Recordset>
<Root>
As you see above, each recordset has order transaction. One Root message can contain multiple of these. So, when I map to the IDOC, I want to filter out any ord_type <> XX.
If I use regular graphical map, it only looks at first recordset and accepts all or rejects all.
I need to use UDF. In the UDF, what comes in as input ? Resultset is output -correct ? Now how do I usse graphical mapping with UDF to generate the correct target info

Using User Defined Function is SQL

Hi
I did the following test to see how expensive it is to use user defined functions in SQL queries, and found that it is really expensive.
Calling SQRT in SQL costs less than calling a dummy function that just returns
the parameter value; this has to do with context switchings, but how can we have
a decent performance compared to Oracle provided functions?
Any comments are welcome, specially regarding the performance of UDF in sql
and for solutions.
create or replace function f(i in number) return number is
begin
return i;
end;
declare
l_start   number;
l_elapsed number;
n number;
begin
select to_char(sysdate, 'sssssss')
    into l_start
    from dual;
for i in 1 .. 20 loop
    select max(rownum)
      into n
      from t_tdz12_a0090;
end loop;
select to_char(sysdate, 'sssssss') - l_start
    into l_elapsed
    from dual;
dbms_output.put_line('first: '||l_elapsed);
select to_char(sysdate, 'sssssss')
    into l_start
    from dual;
for i in 1 .. 20 loop
    select max(sqrt(rownum))
      into n
      from t_tdz12_a0090;
end loop;
select to_char(sysdate, 'sssssss') - l_start
    into l_elapsed
    from dual;
dbms_output.put_line('second: '||l_elapsed);
select to_char(sysdate, 'sssssss')
    into l_start
    from dual;
for i in 1 .. 20 loop
    select max(f(rownum))
      into n
      from t_tdz12_a0090;
end loop;
select to_char(sysdate, 'sssssss') - l_start
    into l_elapsed
    from dual;
dbms_output.put_line('third: '||l_elapsed);
end;
Results:
   first: 303
   second: 1051
   third: 1515

I find that inline SQL is bad for performance but
good to simplify SQL. I keep thinking that it should
be possible somehow to use a function to improve
performance but have never seen that happen.inline SQL is only bad for performance if the database design (table structure, indexes etc.) is poor or the way the SQL is written is poor.
Context switching between SQL and PL/SQL for a User defined function is definitely a way to slow down performance.
Obviously built-in Oracle functions are going to be quicker than User-defined functions because they are written into the SQL and PL/SQL engines and are optimized for the internals of those engines.
There are a few things you can do to improve function
performance, shaving microseconds off execution time.
Consider using the NOCOPY hints for your parameters
to use pointers instead of copying values. NOCOPY
is a hint rather than a directive so it may or may
not work. Optimize any SQL in the called function.
Don't do anything in loops that does not have to be
done inside a loop.Well, yes, but it's even better to keep all processing in SQL where possible and only resort to PL/SQL when absolutely necessary.
The on-line documentation has suggested that using a
DETERMINISTIC function can improve performance but I
have not been able to demonstrate this and there are
notes in Metalink suggesting that this does not
happen. My experience is that DETERMINISTIC
functions always get executed. There's supposed to
be a feature in 11g that acually caches function
return values.Deterministic functions will work well if used in conjunction with a function based index. That can improve access times when querying data on the function results.
You can use DBMS_PROFILER to get run-time statistics
for each line of your function as it is executed to
help tune it.Or code it as SQL. ;)

Error in conditional map using User Defined Function

All,
In my mapping I basically have a user defined function that returns the filename of my inbound file from the adapter-specific message attributes (file adapter). I know this is coded properly because if I simply assign this function to my destination field I can see the filename in the payload XML.
However if I conditionally check that returned value using if,then,else I get an error message stating:
"During the application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MaterialData2ZcustProdMastMulti_ a com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation"
Essentially in my if I'm checking if the value returned by my user defined function is equal to the constant "SOMECONSTANT" then I'm setting my destination field to some other constant value. Otherwise it's equal to a different constant value.
Any thoughts?

Claus,
Thanks for the help. I actually had figured the problem out on my own. Sorry for not updating the thread sooner. What happened was this (as I suspected it wasn't related to my user defined function). For the newbies out there (of which I'm one) the problem was I was comparing strings in the graphical mapping tool using the Boolean "EQUALS" rather than the Text "EQUALSS".
Can you give yourself points for solving

Error in simple user defined function

Like that it has shown 13 errors. I have given the package names in imports field what previous function has.

Hi,
Please see this from SAP help
a. You can import Java packages to your methods from the Imports input field, by specifying them separated by a comma or semi-colon:
You do not need to import the packages java.lang., java.util., java.io., and java.lang.reflect. since all message mappings require these packages and therefore import them. You should be able to access standard JDK and J2EE packages of the SAP Web Application Server by simply specifying the package under Import. In other words, you do not have to import it as an archive into the Integration Repository. You can also access classes of the SAP XML Toolkit, the SAP Java Connector, and the SAP Logging Service (see also: Runtime Environment (Java-Mappings)).
In addition to the standard packages, you can also specify Java packages that you have imported as archives and that are located in the same, or in an underlying software component version as the message mapping.
b. Create your Java source text in the editor window or copy source text from another editor.

Problems with After Report trigger Updating using User-defined functions

Hi,
I have a report which uses SQL to select data that uses a user-defined stored function in the WHERE clause.
I use the same SQL in the After Report trigger with and UPDATE statement to flag all records selected as being run.
Data is being selected by the report no problem, but the records are not being updated. In a test, If I remove the conditions using the user functions, the records update as expected. In Live conditions I must have these conditions in the script.
I originally tried putting the UPDATE in a formual column, but that would not fire on records where that page was not paged through (or paged to end) in the Runtime Previewer.
Can anyone advise?

In case anyone is interested.
The issue was that the stored functions have roles assigned for security.
PL/SQL for After Report doesn't seem to recognise the roles having been assigned for the report, so the implicit cursor update/select I had wouldn't work.
I changed the SELECT into an explicit CURSOR and introduced a FOR LOOP, keeping the UPDATE as an implicit statement.
I know see this was more of a PL/SQL issues than a report one, but such is life. So if anyone feels the urge to move it to the PL/SQL forum, then feel free!!
Have a problem free afternoon. :-)

Error while linking user defined table to user defined field using vb6.0

oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "PDN1"
oUserFieldsMD.Name = "OB_Locn"
oUserFieldsMD.Description = "WH Location"
oUserFieldsMD.Type = db_Alpha
oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 30
lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Add
If lRetCode <> 0 Then
 oCmp.GetLastError lErrCode, sErrMsg
 MsgBox sErrMsg
 GoTo Err_
End If
If Not oUserFieldsMD.GetByKey("PDN1", 0) Then
 MsgBox "Error"

Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Great Sébastien!
Looks like we could not survive here one day without your contribution

This is the size of the

field in the user-defined table to which the new field OB_Locn (in the DB it will be U_OB_Locn) is linked to...
So, it should be preferrably of the same size.

Using User Defined Function in BO XI3.1 Universe

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to call a database defined function in a universe? I would like to create a universe object to call the function then make the object available to users as a dimension when creating reports. If it's possible, can someone provide the details on how to crease such an object.
I'm using BO XI 3.1 and SQL Server 2005.
Thanks.

Hi Rudolph,
What'd be the actual syntax of calling UDF in an object, as per the below info.
Funtion Name: F1
Table Name: T1
Column Name: C1
Database is SQL Server 2008.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Mahboob Mohammed

Error while creating Custom Defined Functions in Essbase

Hi All, I am trying to create CDF(Custom Defined Functions) in Essbase. Iwant to create a function which take list of child member andreturn the first child. For this, i have created a java file called"ChildAccess.java" which contains the following code: public class ChildAccess { public static char GetFirstMember(char [] members) { return members[0]; } } I have compiled and made jar file called"ChildAccess.jar" and pasted it at"ARBORPATH/java/udf". Then i restarted the Essbase Serverand run the following MaxL command to register the function create or replace function '@ChildAccess' as 'ChildAccess.GetFirstMember' spec '@ChildAccess(memberRange)' comment 'adds list of input members'. Till here i am not getting any error but when i am using thisfunction in my calc script as given below FIX(@ChildAccess(@CHILDREN("Abc"))) it gives the following error "Error:1200414 Error parsing formula for [FIX STATEMENT] (line 2)"argument[1] may not have size[6] in function[@CHILDREN]" NOTE: The SIZE[6] is giving the no. of child in member"ABC". Thanks in Advance Arpit

If you want to use the CDF in a FIX statement you need to make sure that it returns a member name rather than a number: public class ChildAccess { public static String GetFirstMember(String[] members) { return members[0]; } } I prefer to define the function against a specific application rather than globally because you only need to restart the application in order to pick-up any modifications to the .jar file. So the MaxL function definition would be: create or replace function appname.'@_GETFIRSTMEMBER' as 'ChildAccess.GetFirstMember(String[])'; and in the calculation script the FIX statement would become: fix ( @member( @_GetFirstMember( @name( @children( "Abc" ) ) ) ) ) This looks a little messy so you can use a macro to simplify it: create or replace macro appname.'@GETFIRSTMEMBER'(single) as '@member( @_GETFIRSTMEMBER( @name( @@1 ) ) )' SPEC "@GETFIRSTMEMBER(memberRange)"; and then the FIX statement could be written: fix( @getfirstmember( @children( "PRODUCT" ) ) )
